Scott MacFarlane Deserves Scorn for His Pathetic Trump Shooting Sob Story On July 13, 2024, a gunman opened fire on former and future President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was struck in the ear, and escaped death by only an inch or so. Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter, was murdered. He left behind a wife and two children. Some simple-minded observers might identify the tragedy of Comperatore’s death, or the implications of a very nearly successful attempt on the life of a presidential candidate, as the biggest story to come out of that day. But lucky for us rubes, CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane is around to explain that the true tragedy had nothing to do with the loss of Comperatore, the near loss of Trump, or what it said about American political culture. Best to let the real hero — and victim — explain it for himself,…

How Joseph Kurihara Lost His Faith in AmericaJoseph Kurihara watched the furniture pile higher and higher on the streets of Terminal Island. Tables and chairs, mattresses and bed frames, refrigerators and radio consoles had been dragged into alleyways and arranged in haphazard stacks. It was February 25, 1942, two and a half months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the U.S. Navy had given the island’s residents 48 hours to pack up and leave.An industrial stretch of land in the Port of Los Angeles, Terminal Island was home to a string of canneries, a Japanese American fishing community of about 3,500, and, crucially, a naval base. A week earlier, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing military commanders to designate areas from which “any or all persons may be excluded.” The order made no mention of race, but its target was clear: people who were ethnically…

CNN Panel Explodes After Guest Claims Trump ‘Supposedly’ Got Shot: ‘Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!’A CNN panel exploded on Thursday after one guest claimed President Donald Trump “supposedly got shot,” leading to Scott Jennings demanding an immediate correction. On CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip had to wrangle control of her panel after podcaster Touré exclaimed that Trump “supposedly” was shot in July 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The comment came during a discussion about the president’s health. Adrienne Elrod, a former campaign spokesperson for former Vice President Kamala Harris, accused the White House of having “not always been forthcoming” about the current president’s health following White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressing Trump’s bruised hands, chalking it up to “minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking, and the use of aspirin” after reading a note from the president’s physician. Elrod also brought up the point that Trump appeared to forget that he appointed Federal…

Texas psychiatrist reveals mental health challenges facing flood disaster survivorsAs rescue crews and volunteers work to clean up after the tragic flooding that violently swept through central Texas over the July 4 weekend, others are looking to help survivors and victims’ loved ones mentally recover. Dallas-based pediatric psychiatrist Dr. Sabrina Browne spoke with Fox News Digital about what survivors and those close to victims could be grappling with.”Tragedies like this, in a very literal sense, hit close to home, right? It’s one thing when you see things playing out on TV, but when it happens in your community, it really affects your life on every level,” Browne told Fox News Digital. “The reality for these families is that once the camera crews are gone and once the aid organizations are packing up, they’re still going to be living with the repercussions of this.”There are several possible reactions people may have…
