Judicial Watch: FBI Refuses to Release Trump Assassination Records Tom Fitton
AUGUST 12, 2024 (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) withheld information on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information about its coordination with the U.S. Secret Service regarding the July 13 Butler, PA, rally at which former President Trump was shot.
In denying Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, the FBI cites FOIA exemption 7(A), which applies to information that “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings”
The Judicial Watch FOIA request on July 26 asked for:
All records of the FBI, including emails, email chains, email attachments, text messages, video or audio recordings, photographs, drawings, outlook calendars, meeting minutes, finished intelligence products, bulletins, raw intelligence, threat products, correspondence, statements, letters, memoranda, reports, briefings, presentations, notes, summaries, or other form of record, regarding preparation and coordination with the USSS for former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign rally that was held in Butler, PA, on July 13, 2024. Please provide records from June 15, 2024, to present.
Judicial Watch is pursuing the next steps in preparation for litigation.
“Were there others involved in the assassination attempt on Trump? If not, then why would the FBI use the excuse of protecting someone’s right to a fair trial to hide records on the FBI’s and Secret Service’s inexcusable failures to protect Trump from being nearly assassinated,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The Biden-Harris administration is running a major league cover-up on the near assassination of former President Trump.”
The Secret Service also recently refused to honor FOIA requests for information on the shooting.
Judicial Watch has over 25 FOIA and open records requests currently pending on the shooting of Trump with the Biden administration, local and state officials, and agencies in Pennsylvania.
In July 2024, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for records relating to an incident at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in which a Secret Service agent assigned to protect Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly got into a scuffle with colleagues.
In June 2024, Judicial Watch received 116 pages of United States Secret Service records from the Department of Homeland Security through the Freedom of Information Act that reveal the details about several incidents in which Secret Service personnel were bitten by President Biden’s dog Commander, sometimes requiring medical attention.
In October 2022, Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security for all communications of the U.S. Secret Service internally and with the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding the raid on President Trump’s home and for any video or audio recordings made during the raid on August 8, 2022.

Combat Readiness Suffers While the Biden-Harris Administration Pursues Diversity and Army Commanders Lie in Status Reports By J.M. Phelps
Aug. 12, 2024 11:20 am – According to documents shared exclusively with The Daily Wire, “the Biden-Harris Defense Department paid outside organizations millions of taxpayer dollars to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including race-based career advancement programs, in the U.S. military.”
The Daily Wire reported that the University of Missouri Kansas City was awarded $760,000 by the Department of the Navy to “design a program that would give preferential treatment to non-white students and women in STEM applying for Defense Department jobs.”
In a second example, Cornell University was awarded approximately $202,000 to “provide Diversity training that is mission imperative to ensure readiness and addressing discriminatory behavior from a cognitive perspective.” Between 2022 and 2024, nearly $270 million was requested by the Pentagon to fund the DEI agenda of the current presidential administration.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to recent Army retiree Col. Nicholas Braun (a pseudonym) on the condition of anonymity who admitted being somewhat surprised that nearly $270 million was requested for the promotion of DEI in the military. For him, it was a gut punch to see such a massive amount of taxpayer money being used for the leftist DEI agenda, while combat readiness suffered.

Aug. 12, 2024 12:20 pm – The FBI is withholding information on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records related to the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Trump suing Justice Dept. for $100 million in damages over Mar-a-Lago classified documents search By Nicholas Ballasy
The search occurred in August of 2022.
August 12, 2024 12:28pm Just the News – Former President Trump is seeking $100 million in damages from the U.S. Justice Department over its handling of the classified documents search at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla.
The search occurred in August of 2022.
Trump’s legal team has described the search as “political persecution” and unconstitutional.
According to an administrative tort claim, Trump’s legal team alleged that DOJ applied “inconsistent standards” with the search, arguing it was a “clear dereliction of constitutional principles.”

Trump Loses To Harris – Mail-In Ballots Do It OMEGA4AMERICA
If the election were today, Harris 303, Trump 235. Harris has the better hand because she has the mail-in ballot mills in swing states.
AUG 12, 2024 – If the election were held today, August 2024, Trump would lose to Harris easily.
Listening to the Trump Campaign guys on podcasts, it appears they believe they are running a political campaign, against a Leftist woman – and if they get the word out she is a Commie and her VP is more Commie, who chickened out of Afghanistan, they win.
That is the delusional thinking about to lose the most important election in modern American history – and you get a ringside seat to watch it.
These are the thinkers in Republican campaigns – from the detritus of previous senate and congressional campaigns – people who did not go to top schools, have not done great things, have little personal accomplishment – and their life’s light is a reflection of the Sun they serve.
For decades these politicos, who took poli-sci in college, belonged to the band in high school, knew who Nixon’s first VP was – grew into the operational mechanics of national Republican campaigns.
They are mechanics – not thinkers.
You however, are a thinker so ride with us here a bit.
What’s different is the 2024 presidential and major senate races – are not political battles – they are ideological and the rules are fundamentally different. So is the battlefield, the tactics, the strategies.
To be more precise – they are ideological for the Left.
Trump’s guys don’t get it. Harris’s do. That’s why we see 303 for Harris and 235 for DJ.
We aren’t asking you to believe us now.
We want you to review this post in early October – and we are going to send you the link to do so.
By early October Harris will lead in every swing state – by a point or two – maybe even 1 point behind. Does not matter – the election will not be decided by who gets the most votes – rather who gets the most ballots.
Trump has a useless strategy to hire 100,000 poll watchers to insure mail-in ballots, from NGO ballot mills – be properly counted.
The grifter who sold him that strategy is being paid to train these useless resources. We know who she is and we are going to maker infamous.
REPORT: Biden Regime Offers Venezuela’s Commie Dictator Nicolas Maduro Amnesty to Leave Power By Ben Kew
Aug. 11, 2024 8:00 pm – The Biden regime has offered Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro amnesty in order to step aside as leader of the troubled South American country.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Biden’s lackeys has offered the socialist strongman freedom from persecution if he were removed, invalidating the $15 million bounty the FBI currently has against him.
The Journal reports:
The U.S. is pursuing a long-shot bid to push Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to give up power in exchange for amnesty as overwhelming evidence emerges that the strongman lost last month’s election, people familiar with the matter said. [Emphasis added]
The U.S. has discussed pardons for Maduro and top lieutenants of his who face Justice Department indictments, said three people familiar with the Biden administration deliberation.
One of the people said the U.S. has put “everything on the table” to persuade Maduro to leave before his term ends in January.
Another person familiar with the talks said the U.S. would be open to providing guarantees not to pursue those regime figures for extradition.
The U.S. in 2020 placed a $15 million bounty for information leading to Maduro’s arrest on charges of conspiring with his allies to flood the U.S. with cocaine.
A staunch socialist with close ties to Cuba, Russia, North Korea and Iran, Maduro has overseen Venezuela’s decline from South America’s richest country to its poorest.
Since he took power following the death of his predecessor Hugo Chavez, millions of Venezuelans have fled the country to escape one of the world’s most severe economic and humanitarian crises.
Many of those individuals have traveled to the U.S., using Joe Biden’s open border as an opportunity to enter the country illegally.
This stance was reversed shortly after Donald Trump took office in 2016, reimposing sanctions with a view to eventually liberating the island from communist rule.
[Ed.: The Daily Shmutz editor and staff would like to offer strawman Joe Biden amnesty to step down, as overwhelming evidence has emerged that he lost the 2020 election. However, we find that due to the severity of the crime, and with consideration of the massive damages suffered by America, amnesty cannot be offered. We have decided to leave his status in the hands of The True Judge (Dayan Emet) for a just conclusion to this story.]
Attacker Screams “Free Palestine” Before Stabbing Jewish Man in NYC By Margaret Flavin
Aug. 11, 2024 6:00 pm – Early Saturday morning, a young Jewish man was stabbed near the Chabad Headquarters in Crown Heights.
According to witnesses, the assailant screamed “Free Palestine” and other antisemitic slurs before stabbing the victim.
Yaacov Behrman, a spokesperson for Chabad-Lubavitch, shared details of the incident on X.
“I can confirm that a hate crime stabbing occurred early this morning in Crown Heights, around 2 a.m., near Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue, close to Chabad Headquarters.”
“The perpetrator, a Black male in his early 20s, shouted ‘Free Palestine and, after an exchange of words with the victim, allegedly asked, ‘Do you want to die?’ before stabbing him.”
“The victim, a young adult Jewish man, was transported to the hospital and is expected to recover due to the location of the stabbing and the quick response of paramedics.”
According to Behrman, residents pursued the attacker and were able to detain him until police arrived to make an arrest.
The New York Post reports, “Police arrested Vincent Sumpter, 22, from Brooklyn. He was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon.”
Jewish leaders decried the attack following a rise of antisemitism since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.
The CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, Mark Treyger, wrote on X, “This is a dangerous escalation of the current climate we are in and it should outrage every New Yorker because it is an attack on every New Yorker.”
“This abhorrent and abominable attack on a young Jewish person in Brooklyn because of his identity should not and cannot be seen in isolation.”
The victim is expected to recover.

Venezuelan Opposition Requests International Support to Guarantee Electoral Transparency By Gateway Hispanic
Aug. 11, 2024 4:00 pm – The opposition in Venezuela remains firm in its demand for electoral transparency. They insist on counting the votes. To achieve this with the support of the regime, they have asked their allies. Confident of her victory, María Corina Machado said that she makes the scrutiny records available “to all experts from any country in the world and especially from Colombia, Brazil and Mexico .” She wants regional leaders to confirm that Edmundo González Urrutia did indeed obtain more votes than Nicolás Maduro.
“We would be very interested in having interaction with the National Electoral Institute of Mexico,” he stated. He assures that Mexico has a “ very important role ”, an “enormous responsibility” in ensuring that the electoral results are transparent by having a direct channel of communication with the Maduro regime,” Machado said in a virtual press conference with Mexican media.
Venezuela affects the entire region
Given that more than 7 million Venezuelans are in exile, the political situation in Venezuela affects the entire region. Well, they must open their borders to a demographic change, the saturation of their social services and in some cases they suffer an increase in both common and organized crime (as in Chile through the Aragua train).
For this reason and more, María Corina appeals to regional governments. She announced that Venezuela needs now more than ever “democratic governments speaking very firmly,” especially if they have communication with the ruling party, “so that they understand that the conflict in Venezuela transcends our borders.” She highlighted that a new wave of migration, even greater than the previous one, could affect the region.
“Unbiased verification of results”
Although they are still allies of Maduro, Brazilian President Lula Da Silva was forceful about respecting the popular will. What’s more, he sent observers to the electoral process on July 28. And they were received. This is worth saying given that the regime prevented the entry of multiple international observers, including former presidents of Mexico, Bolivia and Colombia. So much so that Andrés Pastrana called him a narco-dictator. However, some of Maduro’s allies insist they want to be part of the democratic process.
“The fundamental principle of popular sovereignty must be respected through the impartial verification of the results,” said presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Gustavo Petro and Andrés Manuel López Obrador
Opposition has no contact with the Mexican government (yet)
However, the opposition leader clarified that she and presidential candidate González Urrutia have not yet had direct communication with the Mexican government. But she assured that “we are open to her intermediation as well as that of other countries that are also willing to contribute to advancing a serious, real, effective negotiation for a transition.”
Three Columbia University Deans Resign After Exposure of Anti-Jewish Messages By Margaret Flavin
Aug. 11, 2024 3:20 pm – Columbia University was one of the main campus hotbeds for pro-Hamas, anti-semitic protests following the terrorist attacks on October 7 that slaughtered 1,400 civilians.
As radical Jewish-hating protestors took over the campus, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik was forced to cancel in-person classes because the campus was simply too unsafe for Jewish students.
Rabbinical leaders warned Jewish students to stay home amid the ongoing “extreme antisemitism and anarchy.”
The protesters were chanting for Hamas, and one group even stormed a building on campus, Hamilton Hall, smashing windows and fortifying their position by barricading doors and covering windows, effectively taking control of the academic building.
It seems the radical protesters had Deans at Columbia who held the same ugly views.
The New York Times reports that three Columbia deans exchanged disparaging text messages that the university president said “touched on ancient antisemitic tropes” during a forum about Jewish issues in May.
Susan Chang-Kim, Cristen Kromm, and Matthew Patashnick were initially suspended after the text messages were leaked, but on Thursday, a spokeswoman for the University announced that the three Deans are resigning.
The deans, who had responsibility for undergraduate student affairs, sent the biting and sarcastic messages as they reacted in real time to Jewish speakers expressing concern about antisemitism on campus during the two-hour event.
In June, Nemat Shafik, the university president, placed the three deans on indefinite leave as an investigation proceeded.
In the texts, one dean suggested that a Jewish speaker was playing up concerns for fund-raising purposes. Another sent vomit emojis in reaction to the mention of a college newspaper opinion piece written by one of the school’s rabbis.
HUGE: Thomas Crooks Trained at Shooting Range, Where Multiple Federal Agencies Reportedly Train, Including DHS — Visited the Club 43 Times Including Holidays Since Last Year, Records Show By Jim Hᴏft
Aug. 11, 2024 1:20 pm – New evidence shows that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man suspected of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, had been intensely preparing for his attack at the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a facility frequented by multiple federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
According to the documents released by Grassley’s office on Thursday, Crooks signed up for a membership at the gun club on August 10, 2023.
His alarming pattern of behavior is highlighted by the fact that he visited the range 20 times within just four months of joining. Notably, his dedication to rifle practice was evident, with 80% of his visits focused solely on honing his skills with long guns.
“He focused almost exclusively on the rifle range throughout 2024,” Grassley’s office said in a statement per the New York Post.
Crooks visited the club 43 times within the past year and even spent major holidays, including Christmas Day, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween, under federal law enforcement’s nose.
Crooks’ final visit to the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club occurred just one day before he attempted to assassinate Trump.
According to ABC News, “The Clairton Sportsmen’s Club previously confirmed to ABC News that Crooks visited the gun club for the last time on July 12 — the day before the rally. He visited the range at 2:45 p.m. local time that day, according to the records released by Grassley’s office.”
In a recent broadcast, Fox News’ Jesse Watters highlighted the disturbing nature of the evidence.
“It’s been a month since Trump was nearly killed, and the FBI has barely said a word about what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thankfully, Congress is churning out new information to help the American people understand what happened,” Watters said.
He continued, “Turns out that Crooks first joined the Clarendon Gun Club in August of last year, just a year ago, and then visited the range 43 times. Crooks even spent holidays at the shooting range, including Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween. And his parents didn’t think this was strange.”
What’s more alarming is that the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club wasn’t just a local shooting range—it was a hub for federal law enforcement training. Agencies like DHS, which oversees the Secret Service, regularly held training sessions at the facility. [Emphasis added] This means that Crooks was honing his skills under the very noses of federal agents tasked with protecting national security.
“The shooting range was crawling with feds. Multiple local and federal law law enforcement agencies trained at this facility, including the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Secret Service. Crooks was training under federal law enforcement’s nose. We’re now seeing just how close they got to each other. Just two months before trying to kill Trump, Crooks was at the range within 24 hours of a Homeland Security Office training session,” Jesse Watters said.
WATCH:
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a mobile ad data analysis revealed that someone who regularly visited Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office.
The Oversight Project identified nine devices linked to AD-IDs that were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year.
Per the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project: “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates.”
“To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them,” the Oversight Project said.

[Ed.: Summary and Conclusion: The FBI executed the failed assassination attempt on President Trump. The FBI used the Secret Service to prepare the kid as the patsy. President Trump, who chronically endorses the very people who turn around and stab him in the back, once again has chosen to keep the Secret Service to safeguard his life from assassins, instead of hiring Israeli commandos for his private security. This mistake will likely cost him his life before November 5th (God forbid!) The FBI has many ways to kill a person and make it look like a natural death, or a ‘lone gunman’ with a grudge.]
Eyewitness, Who Secretly Recorded Interrogation with Police, Claims to Have Overheard Police Radio Comms Mentioning ‘Blood in the Bathroom’ and ‘Second Shooter on the Loose’ Following Trump Assassination Attempt By Jim Hᴏft
Aug. 11, 2024 11:00 am – Disclaimer: The content of this article is based on eyewitness accounts and personal testimonies. It is intended for informational purposes only and should not be taken as a definitive fact. Readers are encouraged to form their own opinions and conduct further research if desired.
An eyewitness who was detained by the police on the day of the Trump assassination attempt has come forward with explosive claims.
The witness claims that during his time in police custody, he overheard alarming details on police radios that were not disclosed to the public.
The witness, who goes by the name Dave James Stewart or “realDJStew724” on YouTube, claims to have overheard police discussing the presence of blood in a bathroom and a potential second shooter on the loose.
Stewart first posted a video on July 28, fifteen days after the shooting, that shows police reacting to a perceived threat on the roof of the building several minutes before the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire.
Two minutes before Crooks’ first shot, an officer could be seen with his handgun drawn as he kept watch on the roof from the opposite side of where Crooks turned out to be.
The man, who appears to be the same man in a suit later seen in police bodycam video talking with officers on the roof guarding Crooks’ body, just wanted to photograph Stewart’s ID. A state trooper would soon take Stewart into custody and take his phone, apparently giving it to the FBI who would keep it for almost a week.
Stewart wrote on his YouTube channel, “Dear PA State Police Trooper who cuffed me and roughed me up: Don’t ever tread on me again. You know what you did. Your partner better have had that bodycam on. That footage better not be deleted. You’re going to pay for what you did to me.”
Axios reported:
Aug. 11, 2024 9:30 am – Jeff Buongiorno has the template for all candidates in the upcoming 2024 election to address non-citizens voting in the election.
A candidate for Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections has ae solution for preventing non-citizens from voting in the 2024 election.
Jeff Buongiorno is fighting for election integrity in President Trump’s own district – Palm Beach County. He will do this by running for the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections.
But there is more to this story. The following comes from Buongiorno’s website:
The Florida Democrats’ lobbying efforts to permit non-citizens to assist in voter registration were met with fierce opposition and resulted in legislation designed to uphold election integrity. The passage of Florida’s “Election Integrity” bill in 2023 included crucial provisions to prevent non-citizens from participating in voter registration processes:
Florida Statutes 97.0575(1)(f):
Third-party voter registration organizations must affirm that each person collecting or handling voter registration applications on their behalf is a U.S. citizen, with violations subject to a $50,000 fine.
However, this statute is currently under legal challenge, with federal Judge Walker issuing a preliminary injunction, potentially undermining these protective measures..
Synthetic Identities and Voter Fraud
Buongiorno raised serious concerns about the potential for synthetic identities to infiltrate the voter registration system. He explained how these identities, lacking proper photo ID, could request multiple vote-by-mail ballots, thus compromising the integrity of elections:
“Synthetic identities are allowed to cast a ballot without ever producing photo ID. A synthetic identity could potentially request up to three vote-by-mail ballots.”
Conclusion: A Call to Action
Buongiorno’s solution to this looming constitutional crisis is clear and decisive:
“The People of Palm Beach County must file an emergency injunction requesting proof of U.S. citizenship for every registered voter. If the state is unable to produce proof, the voter registration database must be purged, and all voters must re-register according to the letter of the law.”
This approach aims to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in elections, thus preserving the sanctity of our democratic processes.
Buongiorno filed a suit to prevent non-citizens from voting in the election. Buongiorno has initiated the first case seeking injunctive relief from Mayorkas on down to the state and local level NGOs who are co-conspirators in the attempt to Influence the 2024 General Elections.

Government Awards Boeing MASSIVE Multi-Billion Dollar Contract with US Air Force by Miriam Judith.
Aug. 10, 2024 8:20 pm – Boeing has announced that it has been awarded a $2.56 billion dollar contract from the U.S. Air Force to manufacture E-7A AEW&C Wedgetail aircraft. This is despite the company coming under fire in recent years due to the lack of quality production and oversight that has led to multiple tragedies with their aircrafts.
The head-scratching announcement comes against the backdrop of Boeing’s troubled recent history, which have embroiled the company in numerous controversies casting doubt on its ability to deliver reliable and safe aircraft.
One of the notable issues has been with Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft, which faced two catastrophic crashes in 2018 and 2019. These crashes resulted in the tragic loss of over 300 lives and highlighted the significant lapses in both design and oversight.
In addition to the 737 MAX issues, Boeing’s troubles have extended to other areas. The company’s handling of NASA’s Starliner spacecraft, designed to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station, has also been problematic, as the spacecraft has experienced significant malfunctions that have left astronauts stranded in space.
According to Boeing’s Vice president, the U.S. Air Force’s focus is on “stable, predictable execution”, which sounds nice, however the company seems to have the opposite reputation of ‘predictably bad execution’, leaving us to question why the U.S Air Force would even consider the company for this contract.
Military aircraft, given their critical roles in national defense and security, demand the highest standards of safety and operational readiness. The stakes involved in military aviation are exceptionally high, and the consequences of failure can be severe. The lives of military personnel should also take precedence over the consideration of a company that has developed a poor reputation in regards to the safety and efficacy of their products…
…and especially one that it’s whistleblowers end up like this: Second Whistleblower Linked to Boeing Dies of “Sudden Illness”
But hey, that’s the M.O. of the deep state: rank incompetence, cover it up, silence dissent. It’s actually a perfect match.
[Ed.: Another step in the “government’s” process of breaking our country. They need to make sure that we are defenseless militarily.]
Fear the beaver: How a gas station became a cult (and why you should consider joining) LEON WOLF
AUGUST 10, 2024 – We have pamphlets.
Trying to explain Buc-ee’s to someone who has never visited a Buc-ee’s is like trying to explain to a fish what it’s like to fly a helicopter: It’s difficult to even know where to begin because you know that the person you’re talking to has no frame of reference for such a thing even existing.
The problem, though, is that the fish thinks it knows what’s going on, because occasionally it jumps a couple of feet out of the water. All you can do is shake your head sadly and say, “No. I mean, I get that you think you understand, but you don’t. Maybe one day you’ll be able to do it for yourself, and only then will you understand.”
In the same way, when you talk to someone from the benighted areas of the country that do not yet have Buc-ee’s, they think they know. After all, do they not have gas stations? Are there not Wawas or Sheetz where they live, and are they not basically the same thing?
And the cleanliness. My God, the cleanliness.
The problem, to paraphrase Jules Winnfield, is that Wawa, Sheetz, and every other gas station on the planet are not in the same ballpark as Buc-ee’s. Forget being in the same ballpark; they aren’t in the same league or even the same sport. Saying that Buc-ee’s is a gas station is a bit like saying that Disney World is a children’s park. It’s technically accurate, but the picture someone gets in his mind when you say “children’s park” likely does not include the possibility that what you are discussing is anything remotely as as ostentatious or grandiose as Disney World.
In the same way, the first time you enter a Buc-ee’s, you are frankly not prepared to encounter what you will find inside, because the term “gas station” simply does not encompass the palatial environs of the average Buc-ee’s.
The first thing that will likely floor you upon entering a Buc-ee’s is the size. Somehow, although Buc-ee’s looks like a normal-sized truck stop on the outside, when you walk inside, it’s like walking through a door into Mary Poppins’ carpetbag. Even a modest Buc-ee’s is larger inside than, say, most Kroger stores.
The second thing you’ll notice is that this is definitely, far and away, cleaner than any gas station you’ve ever visited in your life. Every surface inside virtually sparkles. All of the wonderful items for sale (more on that later) are carefully arranged and appropriately placed on the proper rack. And if, like most people, your first stop inside is the restroom, you are in for an even bigger surprise.
The bathrooms at Buc-ee’s are so amazing that they have their own cult following. The bathrooms at Buc-ee’s do not have stalls. Each toilet has its own honest-to-goodness door. To save you the inconvenience of having to even jiggle a door handle to see if it’s locked, each toilet room has a light above it that is red if the room is occupied and green if it is unoccupied. The sinks often will have dividers to provide you with privacy even while washing your hands.
And the cleanliness. My God, the cleanliness.
Every Buc-ee’s store has, on a 24/7 basis, a person whose entire job is to do nothing but clean the bathroom continually, and it shows. You’ll see them in there, working diligently, with nary a complaint or a frown about having to spend their day cleaning up after the excretions of others. Thanks to their efforts, never will you find a soap dispenser that’s even close to being empty or a paper towel dispenser that is either empty or jammed up with poor-quality rubbish.
I can say with some degree of confidence that Louis XIV did not defecate in settings as opulent as the average customer of Buc-ee’s in 2024.
Russia Declares Federal Emergency After Ukrainian Ambush in Kursk Region of Russia [VIDEO] by Miriam Judith
Aug. 9, 2024 7:40 pm – On Friday, Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry declared a “federal-level” emergency in the Kursk region, following a four-day conflict between Russian and Ukrainian forces. This escalation came after a surprise Ukrainian offensive earlier in the week where Ukrainian forces reportedly ambushed the region, taking hundreds of prisoners captive.
While tensions in the war escalate, the U.S. has continued to ramp up its military support for Ukraine over the past year, drawing considerable attention and concern from Russia. This support has included a wide array of military equipment and financial aid aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s defense capabilities against the ongoing war.
Just last month, the U.S. further intensified its engagement by delivering F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, not only amplifying the U.S. role in the conflict but also deepening the antagonism between the two superpowers, further destabilizing the situation in Eastern Europe.
In addition to the F-16s, the U.S. announced today that it will be supplying Ukraine with a “Significant New Military Assistance” package.
From the Press Release:
“The United States is today sending Ukraine a significant new package of urgently needed weapons and equipment to support its military forces as they defend against Russia’s ongoing attacks. This $125 million package of support, provided under Presidential Drawdown Authority, includes air defense interceptors, munitions for rocket systems and artillery, multi-mission radars, and anti-tank weapons that will help Ukraine protect its troops, its people and its cities from Russian attacks and reinforce its capabilities across the front lines.
This is the tenth security assistance package the President has authorized to help Ukraine since signing the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. We will deploy this new assistance as quickly as possible to bolster Ukraine’s defense of its territory and its people. As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine.”
From Russia’s perspective, the U.S.’s escalating military aid to Ukraine could be perceived as an act of aggression that directly threatens Russian security interests. The increased U.S. involvement not only inflames the conflict but also invites potential retaliatory measures from Russia, which may include heightened military responses or other forms of counteraction aimed at protecting its national interests.
The situation in Eastern Europe remains highly volatile, with both Russia and Ukraine engaged in a protracted struggle that shows no sign of immediate resolution. As the U.S. continues to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities, the potential for a more pronounced and dangerous military confrontation grows, raising concerns among international observers about the stability of the region and the potential for broader global implications.
