Defiant Trump to hold rally at same place he was shot at in Butler, Pennsylvania

The former president and GOP candidate said he wants to have a ‘big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey (Comperatore) and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago.’

Less than a week after the Secret Service urged Donald Trump to not hold events outside, the former president announced on TRUTH Social that he will be returning to the same location he was shot at in Pennsylvania.

“I will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey (Comperatore) and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago. What a day it will be — fight, fight, fight!”

According to The Washington Post, the Secret Service suggested that Trump should not hold rallies at outdoor venues and to instead campaign indoors. Some pundits have argued that the agency’s request is a form of election interference intended to suppress enthusiasm for Trump, who, according to the New York Post, drew an estimated crowd of 80,000 at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey this summer.

Trump’s first campaign stop after accepting the Republican Party’s presidential nomination this month was at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the second largest city in the state. The location has a maximum capacity of around 12,000. Thousands of supporters who waited in line to get in but were turned away mulled about outside while Trump and running mate J.D. Vance gave their speeches to a raucous crowd.

The Secret Service has been roundly criticized for its failure to protect Trump on July 13, the day he was shot at by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks was brought to the attention of law enforcement at the rally by several attendees long before he fired multiple rounds at Trump’s head around 6:11p.m. EST. The agency has blamed everything from miscommunication with local police to claiming the building Crooks shot from was not only outside the perimeter but was too dangerous for agents to be stationed on because it had a “sloped” roof.

Former Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned her post after Congressional lawmakers grilled her days after the shooting. Republicans have blamed the attack on Homeland Security Secretary Alexander Mayorkas for having turned down repeated requests from the Trump team to beef up his security over the past two years.

On July 27, a defiant Trump took to TRUTH Social to declare that he will not be scaling back his campaign events.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington D.C., has found that mobile devices that “regularly visited” Crooks’ home and place of work also visited a location near Secret Service and FBI headquarters in Washington, raising the specter that there was possible Deep State involvement in coaxing Crooks to take action against Trump.

We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates.

To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them.🧵 https://t.co/T5HETLhkgM pic.twitter.com/hMsI9dFwNk

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has already told Fox News that “we cannot trust the FBI to do an open and honest investigation” about the assassination attempt.

Aside from the death of Comperatore, two other men were critically injured at the rally, 74-year-old James “Jim” Copenhaver and 57-year-old David “Jake” Dutch. Both men’s families have released statements expressing thanks for the support they have receive as they recover from “life-altering injuries.”

Top Scientists Deliberately Misrepresented Sea Level Rise For Years

Published on October 25, 2025

Todayville

From Michael Shellenberger

Accelerated sea level is one of the main justifications for predicting very high costs for adapting to climate change. And while good scientists have debunked acceleration claims in the past, they did not clearly show how IPCC scientists engaged in their manipulations.

For years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, has claimed that human-caused climate change has accelerated sea level rise. But that claim is false. There is no scientific evidence of accelerated sea level rise since the mid-19th Century, and thus none showing human-created emissions caused an acceleration in recent decades.

This does not mean that climate change isn’t happening. It is. It simply means that it has not caused the sea level to rise at a rate any higher than one would expect without human-caused climate change.

Not only that, but the top scientists know this fact and have deliberately misrepresented it for years, deceiving the public.

In September, I reported on one of the first global studies of sea level rise that used tide-gauge data, which is the only real-world data that goes back long enough, to the mid-19th Century, that would allow one to detect whether sea level rise had accelerated, decelerated, or remained steady. Since then, I exchanged over 50 emails with one of the world’s leading sea level rise scientists, Robert Kopp from Rutgers University, and heard back from IPCC, NASA, and NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. What I learned shocked me.

For years, the world’s top scientists have known that they cannot prove there has been an acceleration of sea level rise, and yet they have told the public that they can. Not only that, in the process of this exchange, I gained a glimpse into how the scientists have been able to mislead journalists, policymakers, and the wider public for so long.

You might think this is either old news or unimportant. Some climate scientists in years past have pointed out that the real-world data do not support claims of acceleration. And in recent years, a supposed increase in natural disasters from climate change has eclipsed sea level rise in terms of attention-grabbing headlines. But sea level rise has, since the 1990s, been the main justification for apocalyptic climate claims, and past efforts to debunk sea level rise have failed to show that scientists were deliberately misleading.

The media and others have published terrifying maps of the future showing cities underwater. Accelerated sea level is one of the main justifications for predicting very high costs for adapting to climate change. And while good scientists have debunked acceleration claims in the past, they did not clearly show how IPCC scientists engaged in their manipulations.

Not only can I prove that the real-world data do not support the claims that there has been an acceleration, I can show that the scientists deliberately misrepresented their research, and how they did it, thanks to my on-the-record email conversation with Kopp of Rutgers….

New report warns WHO health rules erode Canada’s democracy and Charter rights

Published on October 25, 2025

Todayville

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has released a new report titled Canada’s Surrender of Sovereignty: New WHO health regulations undermine Canadian democracy and Charter freedoms. Authored by Nigel Hannaford, a veteran journalist and researcher, the report warns that Canada’s acceptance of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) revised International Health Regulations (IHR) represents a serious erosion of national independence and democratic accountability.

The IHR amendments, which took effect on September 19, 2025, authorize the WHO Director-General to declare global “health emergencies” that could require Canada to follow directives from bureaucrats in Geneva, bypassing the House of Commons and the will of Canadian voters.

The WHO regards these regulations as “binding,” despite having no ability or legal authority to impose such regulations. Even so, Canada is opting to accept the regulations as binding.

By accepting the WHO’s revised IHR, the report explains, Canada has relinquished its own control over future health crises and instead has agreed to let the WHO determine when a “pandemic emergency” exists and what Canada must do to respond to it, after which Canada must report back to the WHO.

In fact, under these International Health Regulations, the WHO could demand countries like Canada impose stringent freedom-violating health policies, such as lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or travel restrictions without debate, evidence review, or public accountability, the report explains.

Once the WHO declares a “Pandemic Emergency,” member states are obligated to implement such emergency measures “without delay” for a minimum of three months.

Importantly, following these WHO directives would undermine government accountability as politicians may hide behind international “commitments” to justify their actions as “simply following international rules,” the report warns.

Canada should instead withdraw from the revised IHR, following the example of countries like Germany, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, and the United States. The report recommends continued international cooperation without surrendering control over domestic health policies.

Constitutional lawyer Allison Pejovic said, “[b]y treating WHO edicts as binding, the federal government has effectively placed Canadian sovereignty on loan to an unelected international body.”

“Such directives, if enforced, would likely violate Canadians’ Charter rights and freedoms,” she added.

Mr. Hannaford agreed, saying, “Canada’s health policies must be made in Canada. No free and democratic nation should outsource its emergency powers to unelected bureaucrats in Geneva.”

The Justice Centre urges Canadians to contact their Members of Parliament and demand they support withdrawing from the revised IHR to restore Canadian sovereignty and reject blind compliance with WHO directives.
