PERSON OF THE DAY. 7 June 1958. Musical pioneer and innovator Prince Rogers Nelson (“Prince”) was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He was awarded 8 Grammy Awards and sold over 100 million records worldwide. He’s also regarded as one of the greatest guitarists and live performers too.

Trump Assassination Attempt Update!

We’ve uncovered a few more pieces of the puzzle of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, but they raise new questions.

We forced the release of 48 heavily redacted pages from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit revealing that a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged emails with would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks prior to the July 13, 2024, shooting in Butler, PA.

The records indicate that a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) officer recovered a “gray remote device” with an antenna from Crooks’ pocket after he was killed.

The records also show that a medic with the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit told the FBI that she was on the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building examining Crooks’s body when she was informed that a police canine had “hit” on the building and she was told to evacuate the roof where Crooks’s body remained.

From the MarKODA Files-Stupid Conspiracy Theories Get ‘Upvotes’ From Stupid and Gullible MAGAts:

Can't recall a recent video that better captures Trump's essence. Misogynist goon sweatily belches out egregious lies to a woman reporter, insults and berates her when she asks for evidence, then storms off in anger, all while his spray-tan slowly slides down his face.

Jeffries: I don’t think he’s going to be received well. I think it’s very likely that, if his name is called or if he appears on the Jumbotron, he’s going to get booed.

Jeffries: He wants to make this historic Knicks championship run about himself. Get lost. Doesn’t this guy have better things to do? Yes, he does. How about trying to turn around the economy that you are destroying in real time?

Meiselas: So what’s your message to Trump, who says that he will be attending Game 3 of the Finals at Madison Square Garden? Jeffries: Stay away. Why does this guy always have to make everything about himself and ruin a good thing?

‘F*ck You, First of All!’ Lauren Boebert Scolds Fox News Reporter for Asking About Allegations She Had an Affair With Thomas Massie

— Mediaite (@mediaite.com) 2026-06-07T13:31:38Z

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) went off on a reporter for Fox News Digital — who asked about an allegation that she had an affair with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).

In a video published Sunday by Fox News Digital, Boebert scolded the reporter for asking about claims made by Cynthia West — a former Massie staffer and ex-girlfriend of the Kentucky congressman. West told MAGA influencer Laura Loomer that Massie had boasted about an alleged sexual encounter with Boebert just weeks after his wife’s death in 2024.

The Fox News reporter tried to ask Boebert about the claim, but didn’t get far.
