Does this surprise anyone?

Chris Wray’s FBI put agent Jeff Veltri, a rabid Trump-hater, to lead the investigation into the second attempt on the former President’s life in two months.

Jeff Veltri, was the subject of an internal “retaliation investigation” for anti-Trump and anti-conservative bias, a whistleblower revealed last year.

Veltri was later promoted despite the allegations of his anti-conservative bias.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Jeffrey Veltri back in November 2023.

FBI whistleblowers stepped forward recently to tell Congress that Chris Wray’s FBI is now targeting agents based on their political beliefs. The whistleblowers allege that FBI brass is now harassing military veterans for being loyal to the US and fitting the profile of a Trump supporter.

The latest FBI whistleblowers identified FBI Special Agent in Charge of Miami Office Jeffrey Veltri and Supervisory Special Agent-Assistant Section Chief Dena Perkins.

Agent Veltri was moved to Florida in March 2023 where he heads up the all important Miami Office. Since President Donald Trump left office the FBI has been busy harassing the president and raiding his home in Palm Beach.

According to whistleblowers Veltri singled out FBI officials who were former military for anti-Trump retaliation.

Veltri also targeted US military men and women
The Washington Times reported:

The whistleblowers said FBI Security Division Deputy Assistant Director Jeffrey Veltri and Assistant Section Chief Dena Perkins specifically went after bureau employees who served as Marines or in other military branches

They retaliated against the agents by stripping them of security clearance, which sidelines them on the job and pushes them toward the exit, according to the disclosures.

The whistleblower disclosures charge that Mr. Veltri and Ms. Perkins either declared or attempted to declare the Marine and other veterans as “disloyal to the United States of America.”

Former House Speaker and Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Nancy Pelosi completely lost her mind on CNN after Jake Tapper aired footage of President Trump ripping into her favored candidate, Kamala Harris.

On Tuesday, Pelosi appeared as a guest on The Lead with Jake Tapper to speak with Tapper about Kamala Harris’s campaign for president. The discussion soon veered into a discussion regarding Trump’s cognitive ability to serve as president, with Tapper saying on social media that progressives are complaining about a ‘double standard’ regarding the way the media covered Biden’s mental decline and Trump’s (nonexistent) cognitive issues.

“I’m sure you hear from Democratic voters, progressive voters who say…that the media made such a big deal out of Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive problems. Why don’t they talk about Donald Trump’s cognitive problems?” Tapper stated.

Tapper then aired a clip of Trump speaking in Savannah, Georgia that he said just came into CNN. The footage showed Trump harshly criticizing Kamala Harris, claiming the world is laughing at her and that she has bigger cognitive problems than Joe Biden.

“We have to be respected. They laugh at us. All over the world, they’re laughing at us,” Trump said. “And you know what they’re really laughing at? Kamala. Because they can’t believe that she’s going to be president. They can’t believe.”

“You talk about cognitive problems? She’s got bigger cognitive problems than he (Biden) has, in my opinion,” Trump added.

Tapper then turned to Pelosi and asked her to weigh in on Trump’s remarks. Pelosi responded by snapping at Tapper for daring to show the footage.

“Why would you even cover that?!” Pelosi exclaimed. “This is a person who is not on the level.”

“He is their nominee for president; he is incompetent,” she continued. “Let’s not even talk about the silliness of it all and the weirdness of it all…We’re not even going to talk issues.”

Pelosi went on to whine about Trump passing one of the largest tax cut in American tax cuts in American history during his term, falsely claiming it only benefited the wealthy while blaming him for COVID and the subsequent economic fallout.

If Pelosi is losing her mind just seeing footage of Trump on TV, just imagine how she will react if Trump wins in November and she has to look at him for four more years. There will not be enough popcorn in America to fill the joy of conservatives should this occur.

Warren Jones Crazybull, a Bonner County resident, was arrested in August after allegedly making multiple death threats against former President Donald Trump, according to court documents obtained by Forbes.

The threats followed a failed assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania just two weeks prior.

According to a criminal complaint filed by the Secret Service, Crazybull, 64, made at least nine threatening calls to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on July 31.

“Find Trump… I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow. I am going to down him personally and kill him,” Crazybull said in one call, referencing Trump’s New Jersey golf club.

In addition to the calls, a Facebook page believed to belong to Crazybull contained numerous violent threats, many referencing a supposed “shadow government” and linking Trump to figures like Jeffrey Epstein and John F. Kennedy.

According to a Secret Service affidavit, Crazybull wrote about engaging Trump in “single combat” to avenge what he claimed were “broken treaties” that resulted in the loss of his land.

Facebook has since deleted his account, but internet sleuths managed to save a copy of one of his videos.

Federal authorities tracked Crazybull using cell phone data from T-Mobile and apprehended him on August 1.

During questioning, Crazybull told investigators he had no intention of actually killing Trump but insisted he would do anything to prevent him from reclaiming the presidency.

He also mentioned a personal vendetta, blaming both Trump and the late President Kennedy for past grievances related to Native American treaties.

Crazybull, who has a history of psychiatric treatment, was charged on August 20 in federal court in Idaho. He faces one count of making threats against a former president, a charge that could carry a sentence of up to five years in prison. Crazybull has pleaded not guilty, and a trial date has been set for October 28.

This comes in the wake of a July 17th rally in Pennsylvania, where Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear in an attempted assassination. While Trump survived the attack, a bystander tragically lost their life before Crooks was shot dead by Secret Service agents.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a second attempt was made on President Trump’s life, just two months after he came within a centimeter of being killed in Butler, Pennsylvania by a Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks.

The shooter, later identified as 58-year-old Trump hater Ryan Wesley Routh, shoved the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at the golf course before Secret Service agents opened fire on him.

According to law enforcement, Routh was no more than 500 yards away from Trump and was hiding in shrubbery when he pointed his rifle, reportedly an AK-47, at the former president. He then darted out of the bushes and escaped in a black vehicle, but he was arrested in Martin County.

Joe Biden’s Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo went on MSNBC on Wednesday and begged the far-left audience to “extinguish” Trump for good.

This comes ten days after the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life at a golf course on September 15th in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told MSNBC, “He says, he’s the opposite. It’s just another lie. Like, how did we get here? Let’s extinguish him for good.  We have an answer. We have a remarkably talented candidate who is sincere, who’s pragmatic, who’s open.  Let’s just get it done.”

On September 15th, would-be assassin Ryan Routh was captured after attempting to murder President Donald Trump on a West Palm Beach golf course. This was the second assassination attempt on President Trump in two months.

It is not clear at this point how he knew that Trump would be playing a round of golf at that same course that Saturday. But the FBI said in their pre-trial report that Routh was stalking President Trump for two months before he attempted to assassinate the former president in September.

On July 13, two months earlier, another crazed Trump-hating kid shot President Trump in the ear during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Secret Service officials left a building unguarded so the teen had an easy shot at President Trump’s head.

Trump supporter Corey Camperatore was murdered by the crazed leftist teen that day. Two other Trump supporters were severely injured.

This didn’t stop Raimondo from making a death wish against Trump today.

The U.S. Navy has been left scrambling after the Navy oiler USNS Big Horn ran aground and partially flooded off the coast of Oman.

The incident, first reported by maritime news site gCaptain, has left the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group in a vulnerable position—without its primary source of fuel in a volatile region.

The Big Horn, a 33-year-old Kaiser-class oiler, sustained damage to its rudder and experienced water flooding in a mechanical space.

Photos and videos leaked from the scene depict significant damage, as the Navy now scrambles to assess the full extent.

While no injuries or environmental damage were reported, this is a major blow to the Navy’s readiness in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

Video via gCaptain, John Konrad:

It’s not looking good. I’ve been told by a shipowner the Navy does not have a spare oiler to deploy and is scrambling to find a commercial oil tanker to refuel the Abraham Lincoln carrier group.

For a carrier strike group operating in the Middle East, refueling is not a luxury but a necessity. Without a reliable fuel source, the USS Abraham Lincoln and its accompanying vessels are at heightened risk.

The Big Horn was the only available oiler in the region, and now, the Navy is left scrambling to find a commercial oil tanker that can fill the gap.

Navy Times reported:

Though the Lincoln is powered by a nuclear reactor, its strike group has vessels powered by fossil fuel that need to be resupplied at sea. The aircraft aboard the Lincoln also need jet fuel. The Big Horn and other ships like it also provide other supplies.

Oilers like the Big Horn typically have around 80 civilians and five military personnel on board.

It remains unclear if there are any other replenishment ships like it immediately available in the Mideast. An AP survey of publicly released military images of similar replenishment ships run by the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command showed none in the Mideast in recent months. The command declined to comment.

The timing could not be worse for the U.S. Navy. This latest incident underscores a broader tanker crisis the military faces, a problem exacerbated by the closure of the Red Hill Pacific fuel depot in Hawaii last year due to a fuel leak.

With fewer than ten assured tankers for military operations, the Navy is stretched dangerously thin, and the Abraham Lincoln Strike Group’s current predicament serves as a glaring example.

To make matters worse, the John Lewis-class oilers—the planned replacement for the aging Kaiser-class vessels like the Big Horn—are still plagued by delays. Despite being launched in 2021, the USNS John Lewis and its counterparts are still sitting in a repair yard, unable to deploy.

More from gCaptain:

The Navy currently faces a severe shortage of oilers and crew to operate them. Earlier this month, the Navy announced it might lay up 17 replenishment and supply ships—including one oiler—due to difficulties recruiting U.S. Merchant Mariners. While the Navy has launched five new John Lewis Class oilers – including the USNS Lucy Stone (T-AO 209) this week – and awarded NASSCO a $6.7 billion contract for eight more, challenges persist.

[…]

The grounding of USNS Big Horn is a stark reminder of the broader tanker crisis facing the U.S. military, as highlighted by Captain Steve Carmel, a former vice president at Maersk, in an editorial for gCaptain last year. The Department of Defense is projected to need more than one hundred tankers of various sizes in the event of a serious conflict in the Pacific. However, current estimates indicate that the DoD has assured access to fewer than ten, a dangerously low number that threatens to cripple U.S. military operations. Without sufficient tanker capacity, even the most advanced naval capabilities—including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which still rely on aviation fuel—will be rendered ineffective.

[…]

The shortage of both oilers and tankers demands urgent action. The United States must build a larger U.S.-flagged fleet capable of replenishing aircraft carriers and support joint wartime operations. Expanding the Tanker Security Program, enforcing cargo preference, and prepositioning fuel-laden tankers are potential solutions, but they require immediate implementation. With the looming threat of conflict in the Pacific, securing a robust tanker fleet is not just a logistical necessity—it’s a strategic imperative.

This crisis—coupled with the equally troubling US Merchant Marine crewing crisis—poses a significant challenge for the US Navy. Encouragingly, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro has called for a bold new Maritime Statecraft. Moreover, with the leadershipof RepresentativeMichael Waltz and Senator Mark Kelly, Congress is working on a bill to address our maritime dilemmas—a bill this incident makes more compelling than ever. However, major obstacles remain. These solutions take time, and other federal agencies—including the US Coast Guard but most notably the US Maritime Administration under Secretary Pete Buttigieg—are under-resourced and lack motivation to do the heavy lifting required to solve these problems.
