USSS spotted a suspicious stand near the AF1 zone in Palm Beach,” Patel wrote in a post on X, which included a screenshot of a Fox News article. “The FBI is investigating.” In a statement to Fox News, Patel explained that the Secret Service “discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand” that had a view of the President exiting Air Force One. Patel added that “no individuals were located at the scene.” “Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel said in his statement,

Dimocrats are murderous terrorists. Its laughable that they gaslight by saying the "right wing violence" is the real problem. Has there been a right-wing act of violence in the last 24 months? 48 months? I know of nothing. Left wing violence is plain-to-see on a daily basis, ranging from rock-throwing to knives to high-powered rifles.

You should have posted a permanent team there until a few "game animals" walked by. It could have been very interesting.

I've been to Palm Beach several times. I didn't know deer hunting was a thing in Palm Beach.

Let's take a deep breath here. Does the airport have a hunting program to cull deer? Deer are a real problem for airports. dangerous. Some airports are aggressive in hunting deer.

An IED and one person monitoring the stand with a 'go' switch would have solved the problem!

The WH needs to call out, on a daily basis, the violent rhetoric, and violent acts perpetrated by the Democrats and their minions. Put it all out there so the American people are bombarded with it. Given enough time, declare the Rat Party a domestic terrorist group.

#5. I'm relatively familiar with airport operations. Deer, and other animals and birds that wander onto airport property are NOT shot. They are scared away. AFAIC, there was no valid reason to have the hunting stand on the airport.

Once you look at a aerial photograph of the location of the tree stand in what appears to be a small area of trees within a built up area next to the airport, and the known location where Air Force One parks to discharge and take on passengers, it is apparent that there is no legitimate purpose to put such a tree stand there. First of all it would be illegal to shoot a firearm into the airport in any case. No doubt it is not good, security wise, for Trump to be walking up the long flight of open stairs to get on or off Air Force One, instead there should be closed in stairs where Trump cannot be seen from a distance walking up and down. In this day and age that is just common sense.

Not on the airport grounds, outside the perimeter, across the freeway, and beyond the canal. Apparently had been there for several months...may have been used by a bird watcher, biologist doing a study, hog or deer hunter using a Bow(on Satellite view there are several pockets of woodlands/wetlands with visible animal trails, amidst the mostly urban, developed area) . May have been a paparazzi perch trying to get photos/videos of VIPS/Guests getting on/off their private Jets Or may have been a hide set up by the guy they already caught. It is worth mentioning that the first surface street along the south side of the airport is "Gun Club Road". The commercial aviation stuff is all on the North side of the airfield, private planes, jets, helos, manufacturers, maintenance and leasing operations on the south side. Including Sheriff, Life-flight, DEA, Customs, Air America, Gulfstream, and is where Trump Force One is parked.

Re: #8 - I agree that in 2025, discharging firearms on commercial airports in is not allowed within the U.S., with law enforcement range exceptions. As far as shooting animals that pose a threat to aviation, back in the early '90s, I led a police SWAT team at a large international airport and was tasked several times to hunt and kill coyotes, the four-legged kind, on the thousands of acres of woodland within the airport's perimeter. Coyotes had been wandering at night onto active runways causing major aircraft damage and posed a real threat to surrounding neighborhoods by being sucked into and destroying large turbofan engines at take-off thrust, on FED EX, DHL, and UPS cargo planes, stretch DC-8s and larger wide-body airliners with the seats removed. Our snipers, with their large bore rifles, were ruled out, so my entry team, was tasked, armed with silenced 9mm MP-5s with night vision goggles, until we got our Chief to push back on the municipal leadership and air carrier representatives insisting on this solution. After eliminating a few large, adult males in close proximity to the runways, during the initial all-nighter, all of us found it extremely distasteful, particularly after encountering a den of a dozen pups on the second call out. I refused to shoot them or order them shot but marked their position on a terrain map for live capture and release by animal control personnel. Several of us were also trained K9 handlers/EOD techs and the sleeping pups were a bridge too far. I had to write a dreaded "Dear Chief" letter but he quickly agreed that the exercise was a gross misuse of tactical capability. Fortunately, no one from the city wanted to buck the Chief, as he was a well respected leader in state law enforcement with extensive media contacts. I still keep up with my former teammates and, despite the length of time between then and now, not one of us would hesitate to set up on the tree stand at PBI and anyone seeking to kill our president would not get the dispensation given the pups.

May mean something, may mean nothing. I'd look to see if the airport had hired archery hunters to thin the deer herd to reduce or minimize deer-aircraft accidents. My brother hit a deer with his Beechcraft on landing roll out one night and tore up the landing gear door which cost a lot to fix. A bigger aircraft could suck a deer into an engine....millions in damage.

President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff — the pair largely responsible for Trump’s Israel-Hamas peace deal — provided rare insight into how the administration is trying to disarm the terror group and reestablish secure leadership in war-torn Gaza. Kushner and Witkoff explained how they brokered the 20-point deal and what the next steps are on the Sunday episode of “60 Minutes” ahead of their trip to Israel on Monday.Kushner warned that they expect Hamas to “try to reconstitute and take back their positions” within the power vacuum.

This morning, the headlines were dominated by Colombian President Gustavo Petro's claims that one of the strikes against vessels of Venezuelan-based drug cartels contained a Colombian 'fisherman.'No matter that this allegation can't be documented, and happened over a month ago, the claim was immediately picked up online. It will undoubtedly be the topic of discussion over the next few days. As Rush Limbaugh was famous for saying, "It isn't the nature of evidence, it is the seriousness of the charge" that matters. Here, there is literally no evidence, but the allegation of "murder' is pretty serious, so here we go.

Israel carried out “significant and extensive” waves of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Sunday, in response to what it said was Hamas’ “blatant violation of the ceasefire.” More than 20 Israeli airstrikes were reported in Khan Younis in the south of the territory, according to reports. “Our planes have begun a significant and extensive wave of attacks on dozens of targets throughout the Gaza Strip,” Israeli journalist Hallel Bitton Rosen wrote on X. It comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Hamas of firing on it in the southern city of Rafah. “Terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops,” the IDF said,

Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned. Illinois Democratic Gov.

Zohran Mamdani dropped his big education “plan” last week — and of course his vision amounts to nothing but bigger spending. He embraced the perverse state class-size law, which forces New York City (and no other system) to hire thousands more “educators” to no real purpose except to enrich the United Federation of Teachers. Class sizes are already below the law’s limits in nearly all the city’s (too many) failing schools; it’s the successful ones that will have to boost their teacher-student ratios. The law may well even require the “crown jewel” elite high schools (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, etc.) to admit fewer kids,

One of the perplexing aspects of the American character is how, despite our many domestic challenges, we like to import the world’s thorny issues into our political debates. This is not a critique of discussing such problematic issues, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict. It is a celebration of, and a clarion call for, the First Amendment’s recognition and protection of the God-given right of free speech (which, as I have asserted previously, is implicitly a recognition and protection of the God-given right to the freedom of conscience). What makes this possible is a citizen’s understanding and performance of their duty—an ethical and a legal one, as a matter of fact—
