The Hawaii man suspected in former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt on Sunday is a long-time Democrat, donating exclusively to the party’s candidates 19 times since 2019, records show.
Between September 2019 and March 2020, Ryan Routh contributed more than $140 on the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show. The filings indicate he lived in Kaaawa, Hawaii, at the time of the donations. The records indicate that he was “not employed.”
While the money went to ActBlue, it was earmarked for individual 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates including former Rep. Beto O’Rourk (D-Texas), Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer of New York and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (R-Mass.)
It’s not quite clear yet what happened at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, but it seems certain now that someone with a rifle got way too near Donald Trump. Trump is safe, but this whole thing is deeply disturbing, considering that it’s been only two months since Trump avoided being assassinated thanks only to a head tilt and a hairsbreadth. Moreover, the same Democrats who’ve cultivated anti-Trump hysteria are alternatively dismissively, celebratory, or, at MSNBC, blaming Trump.
The initial report was that a shot was fired where Trump was playing golf.
The next report was a “never mind” one saying that there was some gang violence
“Pray for President Trump” is trending on X after what appears to be a second foiled assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, as reactions poured in.
Trump is safe after law enforcement responded to West Palm Beach, Florida, after what the FBI says was an apparent second assassination attempt on the former president, roughly two months after he suffered from a gunshot wound to his ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.(Snip) As Breitbart News reported in its livewire:
A U.S. Secret Service agent, per the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office, engaged a man who had an AK-47-style rifle with a scope and backpacks and a Go-Pro.
New images reveal the backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene where he was targeting Donald Trump.
Law enforcement held a press conference in West Palm Beach on Sunday after the FBI announced it is investigating a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump in just two months.
The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.
This article has been updated:
The suspect in the second attempted assassination of Trump has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh. (X) Original Story:
The suspect, who was seen carrying a rifle near the vicinity of former President Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach, Florida, Golf Course, is reportedly a white male in his mid-60s. Martin County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested him on I-95 after he fled the scene. Reports say he was unarmed and remained calm during the arrest. (X's) According to Fox News, Secret Service agents took immediate action on Trump and covered him right away after they spotted the gunman, thanks to snipers with tripods.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been identified as the suspect who was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at former President Trump while he golfed, according to law enforcement sources. Routh frequently touted his do-gooder credentials and championed left-wing causes on social media.
His LinkedIn shows that he attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, but relocated to Hawaii sometime around 2018. Routh describes on LinkedIn as “mechanically minded” and enjoying “ideas and invention and creative projects with artistic flair.”
We're still awaiting more details about the latest assassination attempt on President Trump. But it is now quite clear that Trump was the intended target, based on recent reporting about how the gun was positioned when it was shot.
According to the Associated Press, "A man with an AK-style rifle pointed the firearm’s muzzle into Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, as the former president was playing a round, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials."
The report continues.
The former president is safe and unharmed, and the FBI says it is investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination”
Beware the October Surprise

Since I move between worlds and see how stories are covered differently by each side, I was shocked — or maybe not — to catch a few minutes of ABC News after the debate. They were selling extreme fear, extreme hysteria. The conclusion?
A) Trump said the bad thing, B) his supporters obey his every command and now an army of armed Proud Boys Nazi Brown Shirts are going to Springfield to terrorize the Haitians.
We hear “bomb threats” and “shooting threats” yet we never hear the follow-up. We never hear if there was any investigation. The reason? They don’t care if it’s true or not. It’s useful to
Late last week, there was word that an ABC News whistleblower was set to expose both the network and the Kamala Harris presidential campaign for allegedly rigging the network's Sept. 10th debate in the Democrat nominee's favor and against former President Donald Trump. The information that they said would be revealed was that Harris was given advance notice on what questions would be asked, and that Trump would be fact-checked live.
Now, the whistleblower has released a sworn, notarized statement, which is dated Sept. 9, 2024--the day before the debate. They say the Kamala Harris campaign allegedly "restricted the scope"
Former President Donald Trump appears to have survived a second assassination attempt. Shots were fired in West Palm Beach, Fla., just outside his golf course, prompting Secret Service agents to take Trump to safety "after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources."
"Officials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter," CNN reported. Sean Hannity, who had been invited to golf with Trump on Sunday but didn’t end up participating, has spoken with Trump
The Secret Service states that former President Donald Trump is safe, after being evacuated from his Trump West Palm Baech golf course in Florida, after shots were fired in the area.
Donald Trump is "safe following gunshots in his vicinity", his campaign has said in a statement.
It says no further details are available.
It is currently unclear where Mr Trump is.
However, the Washington Post and other outlets are reporting the incident took place near Mr Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
"President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time," the statement says.
Joe Biden on Saturday night delivered remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 2024 Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, DC.
Biden received a lifetime achievement award.
During his remarks, Joe Biden said “we are better off today” than when Trump was in office.
“We are better off today than we were four years ago,” Biden said. WATCH: (X Video) Biden also railed against Republicans for wanting election integrity and for their efforts to remove sexually explicit content from elementary schools.

After Kamala Harris was basically handed the nomination by Joe Biden without any votes from the people for the position, we suddenly started being treated to media hype.
We were supposed to believe that this woman who was, up until that moment, unpopular, was suddenly the new "hope."
Now, I don't doubt that there are some people who embrace her because she's "anything but the decrepit old Joe Biden," and they think she gives them a better chance than he did against former President Donald Trump. And there are no doubt people who fall for whatever
Kamala’s Got Another New Accent
replies
Vice President Kamala Harris debuted a new accent on Saturday night during a Congressional Black Caucus event, with many accusing her of being racist.
Harris was trolled on social media after she told the crowd, in an accent far from her own, that the members were in a “battle for the soul of the nation.” “Hello to all my divine… brothers and sisters… am my soro…” Harris said. She was then seen laughing. (X Video)
Social media mocked the vice President, saying this is “just another example of how disconnected she is from everyday Americans.”
Ohio Senator JD Vance appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" show, as Dana Bash totally abandoned any pretense of pretending to be a journalist and turned the interview into a diatribe that could've been an audition for a spot on the Harris-Walz campaign.The purpose of the interview was to directly tie Donald Trump to alleged bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio. In the Harris-Walz and CNN narrative, these threats are directly linked to former President Truimp's debate comments about Haitians chowing down on geese, cats, and dogs in that town. If this all sounds a lot like an updated version of the notorious "many fine people" lie recycled by
The Trump campaign issued a short statement Sunday afternoon saying Trump was safe after gun shots were fired in his vicinity. The statement did not disclose Trump’s location. (Statement by the Secret Service added to end of article) (Photo) Reports are coming with the usual caveat that initial reports are sometimes wrong or incomplete.
Update: The New York Post reports shots were fired near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, and that Trump was not a target (excerpt):
Florida Investigates Claims That Radical
Abortion Group ‘Forged’ Signatures

Abortion Group ‘Forged’ Signatures
On Ballot Petition replies
radical abortion group in Florida allegedly forged petition signatures for a proposed abortion amendment. The Florida Department of State has launched an investigation.
“Our tolerance in the state of Florida for any type of election-related fraud is zero. We are not going to put up with it,” said Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in a roundtable Monday. “This group submitted dozens of petitions on behalf of dead people.”
Floridians Protecting Freedom is pushing for an abortion amendment that would change the state constitution to protect the murder of unborn children before “viability.”
radical amendment that threatens to ram unpopular abortion until birth into the Cornhusker State constitution will make the ballot in November despite its deceptive nature, the Nebraska Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Friday.
Abortion in Nebraska is prohibited beyond 12 weeks gestation. The “Protect the Right to Abortion” ballot initiative, funded by Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union, however, seeks to enshrine abortion at any point in pregnancy in the state’s constitution.
The proposed amendment leaves vague, undefined terms like “viability” up to the subjective judgment of a health care practitioner, not necessarily a doctor.
ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
As Breitbart News noted, Davis and co-moderator David Muir fact-checked Trump seven times — often incorrectly — while never fact-checking Harris once, even when she used hoaxes, such as the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax.Davis told the Times that ABC had deliberately targeted Trump — and only Trump — because of perceptions that he had been allowed to get away with false statements
The Black Insurrectionist did the legwork and obtained what appears to be a duly signed affidavit from an ABC employee attesting under oath to the network’s staggering corruption to ensure that Kamala Harris won her single debate against Donald Trump. Secret negotiations, bias, squashed issues, sample questions...it’s all there. Of course, we have only this unknown employee’s sworn assertion that these things happened but, if they did...oh my!
Here’s the tweet with the somewhat redacted affidavit: (snip) And—what should worry ABC and Kamala’s campaign—the affiant claims to "have secretly recorded several conversations"
“You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”
That famous line from Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) remains a virtual mantra for politicians and pundits. Yet, judging from the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, we have officially entered the post-truth political era. ABC News has been widely criticized for the bias of the two moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir. Even liberal outlets acknowledged that the two journalists seemed inclined to “fact check” only Trump. In the meantime, they allowed clearly false statements from Harris go unchallenged.
The 2016 election hinged on 40,000 votes in key Midwest states. This time the margin of victory, or defeat, may be even more dramatic: 10,000 to 20,000 Pennsylvanians – or the student section at a Penn State football game. According to election guru Nate Silver, if former President Donald Trump wins the Keystone State, his chances of winning the White House are 96%. We know Trump’s strengths with men – and his weaknesses with women. Thus, the entire race could hinge on his ability to persuade several thousand women in Pennsylvania to turn his way.
Easier said than done, as this election poses new challenges.
A very powerful video was posted online today stamped with #WalkAaway – a national movement of awakened Americans who can no longer support the lies and horrific abuse of today’s radical Democrat Party.
#WalkAway founder Brandon Straka and his team started a movement that today has hundreds of thousands of members and the numbers of new members is surging!
On Saturday Eli B. posted a video of his life today under Democrat rule and his promise to vote for Donald Trump in the November election.

Taliban government deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat claimed some international bodies were using women’s rights issues as a cover and pressure tool to reach its goals.
Taliban government deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat defended the Afghan Islamist dictatorship’s policies reducing the freedom of female Afghans and bragged that the terror group had seen growing international acceptance during a Friday interview with the BBC’s Yogita Limaye.
Fitrat, who refused to sit directly across from his interviewer or be seen in the same camera shot, claimed that the Taliban government had made numerous achievements since seizing power three years ago.
