Explosives Reported Near Trump Rally On Long Island As Police Hunt For Suspect

 Police in Nassau County, New York are investigating a possible security breach after a reported discovery of explosives near the site of former President Donald Trump's rally on Long Island, just hours before his scheduled speech Wednesday evening.

Sources within the Nassau County Police Department allegedly told One America News Network (OANN) journalist James Lalino that officers conducting a routine K9 sweep discovered an explosive device in a vehicle parked near the rally venue. The report comes just three days after a would-be assassin was arrested at Trump's Palm Beach golf club.

According to the Daily Mail, the driver of the car with explosives ran into the woods. According to Lalino’s report on X, the suspect bolted from the car, leaving law enforcement scrambling to locate him.

No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running,” one source reportedly told Lalino. “A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there."

The bomb scare comes as Trump continues to face heightened security threats. He has largely shifted to indoor venues since an attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, when a would-be attacker was apprehended before getting close to the former president.

Trump has largely moved to indoor events since the first attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. 

He was shot in the right ear by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks as shots rang out at his mid-summer rally. 

Two months later, a gunman pointed an AK-47 at the former president while he was playing at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach on Sunday just after 1pm.

If confirmed, the presence of explosives at Wednesday’s event would mark a chilling escalation in the threats surrounding Trump’s public appearances as he continues to campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination. Law enforcement officials have not yet released an official statement, but the incident has put the rally site on high alert.

Nassau County police are reportedly working to secure the area while the search for the suspect continues.

Small Town Alabama Residents Silenced For Questioning Sudden Flood Of Haitian Migrants

 This week U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest statistics showing at least 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration’s controversial mass parole program for those migrating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (the CHNV program).  The program essentially expedites the transfer of migrants from these countries with minimal vetting under refugee laws and allows them to stay in the US for at least two years with a work visa. 

The CBP also notes that at least 800,000 more migrants have applied for the program at US ports of entry, meaning they are likely already in the country.  The numbers are not counted as illegal border crossings. The CBP has warned that once the two-year work period ends they do not have the manpower to track down those migrants that refuse to leave voluntarily.

Concerns over this immigration agenda are being raised after presidential candidate Donald Trump highlighted the flood of 20,000 Haitians into Springfield, Ohio (a city of only 60,000 people) during his recent debate with Kamala Harris.  Reports are mounting and suggest this issue is not limited to Ohio; small towns across the US are being inundated with third-world immigrants.  Native-born residents feel powerless as their communities are trampled by decisions made at the federal level.

One such town is Sylacauga in Alabama with a tiny population of 12,236 people southeast of Birmingham.  Reports indicate at least 2000 Haitian migrants have been dumped into the area with little or no communication with the locals. 

Sylacauga city council member Laura Barlow Heath says she's worried Sylacauga will become the next Springfield.  She criticized her colleagues after they abruptly shut down a council meeting when residents raised concerns over the overwhelming influx of migrants and worries 'civil unrest' may be the result.  

         

Citizens continued to approach council members after the meeting, and many of the exchanges became heated.

Mayor Jim Heigl confirms that the immigrants were brought in "legally" for employment. He said they have been "model citizens," and there are no issues with the current number of immigrants living in the city.  However, this is the same rhetoric from the leadership in Springfield, Ohio, and reports from native resident conflict dramatically with the claims made by local politicians.  They say crime is on the rise, and of course, pets are disappearing. 

Evidence is rising that animal abuse is indeed an issue.  After the media claimed the accusations have been "debunked", police reports have been exposed and confirmed recordings of migrants in Ohio cooking cats have surfaced. A video of the Springfield City Manager Ryan Heck from March of this year show him discussing migrants doing "horrible things to domesticated animals" while council members argued that the events are not confirmed.

Democrats assert that these communities have no say in the process of immigration and that however many foreigners arrive and where they come from is none of their business.  But maybe it should be their business.  Laura Heath of Sylacauga gets to the root of the problem:

“When is enough enough? When do they stop coming in? How many are there going to be? There’s no answers. We have none. The unknown and uncertainty is scary. We have 12,236 people in our community, and we just do not have the adequate resources to handle an influx of migrants. It’s going to take away from resources that are already struggling here.”  

It should be noted that many of these migrants have been suspiciously relocated to deep red conservative districts and, as we recently witnessed in Oregon, some states are "accidentally" giving migrants voter status when they get their state IDs and drivers licenses. 

Employers are incentivized to hire migrants because of lower wages, but they can also get tax subsidies for every refugee under a lesser known provision of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC).  In other words, companies are getting extra-cheap labor the more they add refugees to the payroll.  This is why we often see corporate CEOs in places like Springfield, OH avidly defending mass immigration and denying any problems exist.  

While the pet eating question has drawn national scrutiny to the issue, an even greater problem is the affordable housing shortage.  With tens of millions of migrants entering the US in the past three years, demand has exploded and rent prices have skyrocketed.  The gaslighting of the public continues, but the truth is slowly and surely rising to the surface.

Musk's Neuralink Gets FDA's Breakthrough 'Device Tag' For 'Blindsight' Implant

 Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday announced that Neuralink, his brain-chip startup company, has received the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval for its experimental implant device aimed at “restoring vision”.

The experimental device, known as Blindsight, will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

“We have received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA for Blindsight,” Neuralink said in a post on X.

Sharing the news, Elon Musk took to X and wrote, “The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.”

Appreciating FDA “device tag”, Musk elaborated on the working of Blindsight device and said “to set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually, it has the potential be better than natural vision”. He added that the device will also enable the person to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.


Founded in 2016 by Musk and a group of engineers, Neuralink is building a brain chip interface that can be implanted within the skull, which it says could eventually help disabled patients to move and communicate again, and also restore vision.

Neuralink’s device has a chip that processes and transmits neural signals that could be transmitted to devices like a computer or a phone.

The startup is separately testing an implant designed to give paralysed patients the ability to use digital devices by thinking alone, a prospect that could help people with spinal cord injuries.

This trial is expected to enroll three patients to evaluate its device in a study expected to take several years to complete, according to details on the U.S. government’s clinical trials database.

Earlier this year, Neuralink successfully implanted the device in the second patient, who has been using it to play video games and learn how to design 3D objects.
