On Friday, May 30, President Trump endorsed the acclaimed journalist, Salena Zito’s, upcoming book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland in a Truth Social post.
Earlier today, President Trump re-posted his endorsement of Salena Zito’s book on Truth Social.
According to the publisher’s description on Salena Zito’s book’s pre-order webpage:
“Salena Zito is the journalist who knows Trump—and his voters—better than anyone.” – The Free Press
From the acclaimed journalist standing only a few feet away from the stage when the gunshots began is this gripping first-hand account of the near assassination of Donald Trump – and the inside story of Trump’s heartland-fueled victory.
That day in Butler, had the wind gusted less, had Trump’s head turned in a slightly different direction, or had the adrenaline-fueled heart of the shooter beat slower, America would have been plunged into chaos, possibly even civil war. As a local reporter with deep ties to the area, Salena Zito had been invited by the president to interview him at the Butler Farm Show Grounds. She was standing only four feet away from the presidential podium when the bullets started to fly. A campaign staffer tackled her to the ground.
Throughout it all, Salena never stopped reporting. She spoke by phone to Trump several times in the immediate aftermath and was granted access to community members, rally participants, family members and local law enforcement officials. “I rarely look away from the crowd,” Trump told her in one of several of those conversations. “Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”
Known for her on-the-ground reporting on populism and rural America, Salena zooms out to tell the fascinating story of the battle for America’s heartland and the issues that actually motivate voters. To understand how and why Trump won the 2024 election, you have to understand places like Butler. Big cities like Los Angeles, New York and D.C. don’t decide who wins election cycles, but people in places like Butler, Pennsylvania sure do. President Trump gave the author extraordinary access for this book, including to his top aides, to his running mate JD Vance, to billionaire supporter Elon Musk, and even his security detail.
There are moments that define America. The late afternoon hours of July 13, 2024 was one of them. This book is a narrative of that fateful day, the people of the heartland and the untold story of how the president found his way back into the heart of the electorate.
Certain readers may recognize Salena Zito from her appearance in Tucker Carlson Network’s 2024 miniseries, Art of the Surge.
Throughout the miniseries, the Trump campaign granted exclusive access to Tucker Carlson Network’s film crew, beginning with President Trump’s historic debate performance against Joe Biden in June 2024.
By episode two of Art of the Surge, the Tucker Carlson Network film crew had already embedded itself within the Trump campaign, capturing unique footage of President Trump’s survived assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A portion of episode two, titled “In The Bullseye,” focused on Salena Zito’s upfront reporting style, and her relationship with President Trump.
Evidently, based on her ethical approach to primary source journalism, Salena Zito has written a definitive account on President Trump’s survived assassination attempt, and its broader implications.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.
A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.
Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.
She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.
The New York Post reports:
BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle
A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.
The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.
Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.
But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.
Just amazing.
Monica Cannon-Grant stole from donors, scammed the government, and lived it up while preaching about oppression. BLM grift is the only nonprofit where fraud is part of the mission statement. https://t.co/ir3q9lqYrh

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’
Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.
RedState has an update:
To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”
This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.
Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:
See Olbermann’s tweet below:
I apologize without reservation to @ScottJenningsKY
Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant. pic.twitter.com/SPWLb73nEk
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) September 23, 2025
I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All times are the wrong time to leave even an inadvertent impression of it – but this time is especially wrong
I should've acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I'm sorry I delayed.
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) September 23, 2025
Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:
SCOTT JENNINGS: “Marking myself SAFE from that NUT, Keith Olbermann!” pic.twitter.com/EYZX6vm5Oh

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs
Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.
The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.
Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.
Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child
Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.
Read the text exchange here:

Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson texts with transgender lover Lance Twiggs / 2
Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.
“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”
The Daily Mail reported:
The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.
Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.
Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’
His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.
Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
