A PATRIOTIC SURPRISE THAT NO ONE SAW COMING<\/strong> The revelation took the internet by storm. Social media feeds exploded within minutes, with thousands of reactions on X (formerly Twitter) calling it \u201cthe comeback America didn\u2019t see coming\u201d<\/em> and <\/p>\n ERIKA KIRK TAKES THE HELM<\/strong> BRANDON LAKE: THE UNEXPECTED CHOICE<\/strong> \u201cThis is bigger than a show \u2014 it\u2019s a message,\u201d sources close to production revealed. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing together artists, athletes, and public figures from across the country. It\u2019s going to be epic.\u201d<\/p>\n THE INTERNET CAN\u2019T HANDLE IT<\/strong> A BOLD NEW ERA FOR TURNING POINT USA<\/strong> With Brandon Lake headlining and Erika Kirk leading the charge, the All-American Halftime Show is poised to become more than a performance \u2014 a national event that could define 2025.<\/p>\n CARLSON\u2019S ACCUSATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n After Tucker Carlson claimed the FBI lied about the Donald Trump assassination attempt, the agency responded directly. Carlson questioned the FBI\u2019s statements regarding suspect Thomas Crooks, suggesting the bureau misrepresented his digital footprint. Crooks, charged with attempting to kill Trump at a July campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, ultimately only struck the president\u2019s ear but killed 50-year-old firefighter Corey Comperatore. A Secret Service sniper shot Crooks shortly after, while two others, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were injured.<\/p>\n Carlson said, \u201cThe FBI told us Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump last summer, but somehow had no online footprint. The FBI lied, and we can prove it because we have his posts. The question is why?\u201d<\/p>\n THE FBI RESPONDS<\/strong><\/p>\n The FBI Rapid Response account pushed back immediately: \u201cThe FBI has never said Thomas Crooks had no online footprint. Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n CARLSON DOUBLES DOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n Carlson later shared a video he claimed the FBI, under director Kash Patel, had tried to hide. The footage, allegedly from Crooks\u2019 Google Drive, showed shooting drills and suggested Crooks maintained multiple online personas and left YouTube comments. Carlson argued that this proved Crooks \u201cwas not some secretive lone wolf who never warned anyone that he was planning violence.\u201d He added, \u201cThomas Crooks came within a quarter inch of destroying this country, and yet, a year and a half later, we still know almost nothing about him or why he did it.\u201d<\/p>\n He accused the FBI of \u201chiding from the public what they know\u201d and described Crooks as a \u201cvolatile, troubled, possibly mentally ill young man with a long record of espousing violence in public.\u201d Carlson claimed the bureau \u201cused a selective read of those comments to lie about what Thomas Crooks was thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n THE FBI SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n On Friday, Patel released documents and statements that contradicted Carlson\u2019s claims. On X, he wrote: \u201cThe investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in-person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n The bureau detailed its investigation, which included examining over 20 online accounts, data from more than a dozen electronic devices, numerous financial records, and over 1,000 interviews plus 2,000 public tips. Patel\u2019s statement reinforced that Crooks acted independently and that the FBI had no record of him openly warning anyone about his intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A PATRIOTIC SURPRISE THAT NO ONE SAW COMINGIn a move that has set both political and entertainment circles ablaze,\u00a0Turning Point USA, now under the leadership of Erika Kirk, widow of the late…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
