Welcome to the news for independent thinkers

Trump: "NEVER SURRENDER . . . Former President Donald Trump's joint fundraising committee sent an email and text message Sunday afternoon. They linked to a WinRed page that shows a stylized image of Trump raising his fist after he was shot, along with the words: "I am Donald J. Trump and I will NEVER SURRENDER." He wrote Sunday: "Based on yesterday's terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a 'shooter,' or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else. Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY. Washington Times
Trump marvels at his close call . . . Trump was standing at the podium and began to refer to a large screen, hanging to his right, that showed statistics about immigration. To better see the screen, Trump turned his head to the right and a little up, and at the millisecond in which his head was at just the right angle for the bullet to graze his ear but not enter his skull — at that moment, the bullet whizzed by. Trump suffered a bloody wound to his ear, but no other injuries. It seemed like a miracle. "The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount," Trump said. "If I only half-turn, it hits the back of the brain. The other way goes right through [the skull]. And because the sign was high, I'm looking up. The chances of my making a perfect turn are probably one tenth of one percent, so I'm not supposed to be here." Washington Examiner
Trump rewrites Republican convention speech to focus on unity, not Biden . . . Former President Donald Trump has completely rewritten his convention speech in light of the assassination attempt against him on Saturday and will call on Thursday for a new effort at national unity. Trump said he wanted to take advantage of a historic moment and draw the country together. "The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger," he said, "Had this not happened, this would've been one of the most incredible speeches" aimed mostly at the policies of President Joe Biden. "Honestly, it's going to be a whole different speech now." Washington Examiner

Trump Shooting
Secret Service blames local police, says it was tasked with securing perimeter . . . The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting. Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said. New York Post
Local cop confronted would-be Trump assassin on roof but failed to stop him . . . A local cop spotted attempted assassin Thomas Crooks just moments before he tried to kill former president Donald Trump — but failed to stop the gunman despite the clear threat, according to a report. After rallygoers spotted Crooks on the roof of a manufacturing plant just 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, police were notified and one officer climbed a ladder to investigate. The officer – whose department had been enlisted by the Secret Service to help with security — encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them. New York Post

Nine House Democrats tried to nix Secret Service protection for Trump . . . Nine Democrats in the U.S. House sought to strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service detail just months before an assassination attempt was made against him on Saturday. After Trump survived the shooting, one of their staffers reportedly said in a Facebook post the shooter needed shooting lessons so he wouldn't "miss the next time." The post has since been deleted and the staffer has been fired. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attacks, introduced a bill in April to strip Trump of his Secret Service detail. The bill was introduced on April 19 and has gone nowhere in the Republican- controlled House. Just the News

Guilty Pleasures
Biden calls for Americans to settle differences at the "Battle Box" . . . As President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a live speech on Sunday evening, attempting to lower the political temperature in the country after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, his speech was filled with gaffes and verbal mistakes. "In America, we resolve our differences at the Battle Box," Biden could be heard saying at one point. "Now, that's how we do it, at the Battle Box. Not with bullets." "Tonight, I'm asking every American to recommit to make America so….make America….well, think about it, what's made America so special," Biden continued, appearing to stumble on trying to find a way to say, "make America Great Again" without using those words.

Women alleging J&J products caused their cancer are caught in the crossfire. Sign up for Reuters newsletters One Essential Read One Essential Read Recommended by Kate Turton, Newsletter Editor The battle over J&J's bankruptcy plan to end talc lawsuits Eron Evans, shown here with one of her daughters, died in 2016 of ovarian cancer at age 41. She had sued J&J alleging talc in its Baby Powder caused her disease. Johnson & Johnson is attempting to end litigation by tens of thousands of claimants who believe its talc products caused their cancer with a so-called "Texas two-step" bankruptcy. The maneuver involves offloading its talc liability onto a newly created subsidiary, which then declares Chapter 11. The goal is to use the proceeding to force all plaintiffs into one settlement – without requiring J&J itself to file bankruptcy
