Rostraver Township in Pennsylvania is experiencing a boom in sales of merchandise with the symbols of former US President Donald Trump after the assassination attempt on the politician during his campaign rally in the state on Saturday, a local salesman told Sputnik.
In the township, which is not far from where the rally was held, there are stalls where anyone can buy goods with the logos of the Republican politician. There are flags, caps, T-shirts, including the ones with Trump's famous mugshot taken during his arrest in Georgia last year.

Colombia professor faces firing after pro-Israel social media pile-on
A tenured professor at New York’s Columbia University faces firing after a pro-Israel online campaign criticizing comments the academic made on behalf of pro-Palestine demonstrators at the Ivy League school.
The controversy stems from an interview Franke granted to Democracy Now! on January 25. The professor sharply criticized Columbia’s response to an incident in which pro-Palestine protesters were sprayed with an unknown chemical substance by two alleged veterans of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The comment was subsequently mischaracterized by pro-Israel accounts on social media, who alleged that Franke advocated banning Israeli citizens from the Columbia campus. The following month Franke was informed a complaint had been lodged against her by two Columbia law professors for “discrimination.”

A tenured professor at New York’s Columbia University faces firing after a pro-Israel online campaign criticizing comments the academic made on behalf of pro-Palestine demonstrators at the Ivy League school.
“There’s a very good chance that they will fire me,” said law professor Katherine Franke after being subjected to questioning she characterized as hostile as a part of Columbia’s investigation into the incident.
The controversy stems from an interview Franke granted to Democracy Now! on January 25. The professor sharply criticized Columbia’s response to an incident in which pro-Palestine protesters were sprayed with an unknown chemical substance by two alleged veterans of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
“It’s something that many of us were concerned about because so many of those Israeli students who then come to the Columbia campus are coming right out of their military service. And they’ve been known to harass Palestinian and other students on our campus, and it’s something the university has not taken seriously in the past.”

Trump shooting complicates matters for struggling Biden campaign
Two weeks after his shaky performance during a televised debate raised serious questions about his age and mental acuity, yesterday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump has complicated President Joe Biden’s plans to relaunch his campaign taking a harder line against his Republican opponent.
Complicating matters further, the Republican National Convention is set to start Monday in Wisconsin, where Trump will likely be greeted to a hero’s welcome by throngs of adoring supporters. Advisors have reportedly been formulating Democratic messaging in response to the event for “some time.” Those talking points and attack lines are now under reconsideration as renewed focus is brought to the level of political polarization in the United States.
Recent polling suggests a broad lack of trust in the United States’ electoral system amid a wider institutional crisis in the country. One poll conducted last year showed about a third of Trump supporters agree with the statement that “democracy is no longer a viable system” and “America should explore alternative forms of government to ensure stability and progress.” Almost a quarter of President Biden’s supporters endorsed the statement.
Another survey showed only half of Americans “have faith in democracy” while a poll in 2022 revealed 44 percent believe the country is headed toward a second civil war.

He added that in his new speech he planned to demonstrate that the attack on him had completely changed the campaign.
“The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” Trump said. “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches ... Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now,” the former president emphasized.

The EU foreign ministers plan to boycott the foreign affairs summit in Budapest next month by organizing its own meeting in connection with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's visits to Russia and China, Politico reported, citing EU diplomats.
On Thursday, Politico, citing two EU diplomats, reported that EU countries were considering punitive measures for Hungary, threatening it with "practical consequences," amid discontent over Orban's visits to Moscow and Beijing days after the country took up the EU presidency.
If EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell calls an official meeting on the same day as the Budapest meeting, the ministers will not be able to travel to Hungary, a source said. Another diplomat told the newspaper that the European Union wants to "send a clear signal" to Hungary that it cannot speak on behalf of the entire bloc.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of his diplomatic effort to open up lines of communication to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

Stoltenberg declines Poland's offer to intercept missiles over Ukraine
NATO should not be a direct party to the Ukraine conflict, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated, commenting on Poland’s offer to intercept Russian missiles.
The alliance vows to support Ukraine in the conflict by continuing military assistance to Kiev, and contributing to its air defenses, Stoltenberg added.
Moscow has repeatedly slammed Western military supplies to Kiev, stressing that they only fuel the conflict and create risks of escalation, despite having no effect on the ultimate course of the special military operation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow can respond asymmetrically, and deploy weapons to confront NATO member states directly involved in the Ukraine conflict.

Mainstream media downplays tremendous losses of Western military equipment in Ukraine - journo
The Western press is concealing information about the real state of affairs on the ground in Ukraine, including the mass destruction of NATO weapons provided to the Ukrainian military, and the loss of Ukrainian soldiers, Irish journalist and entrepreneur Chay Bowes wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on July 15.
"Here, yesterday, another €150 million [$163.4 million] of German taxpayers' money was vaporized in Dictator Zelensky's Ukraine," Bowes continued, attaching a video showing the elimination of the German-made IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system (SAM).
According to Bowes, the reason "the Western media doesn't want" the public to see this, is "to maintain your ignorance and, therefore, your complicity in the "Ukraine can win fantasy.'"
Ukraine has received almost 108 billion euro ($115.9 billion), including 39 billion euro ($41.8 billion) of military aid from the EU since February 2022. The US' Ukraine expenditures have so far reached $175 billion, of which $107 billion directly aided the Kiev regime, with $34.2 billion being disbursed for budget needs, and another $69.8 billion spent on arms and military assistance.
On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense released footage of the destruction of an IRIS-T launcher in the Dnepropetrovsk region. The air defense missile launcher, the TRML-4D radar station, and the crew operating the system were eliminated, per the ministry.
As of July 14, 551 air defense missile systems, including those supplied by NATO, have been destroyed since the beginning of the special military operation.

"Russian Iskander missiles completely destroyed the entire complex consisting of an IRIS-T SAM launcher and its TRML-4D radar station - these are the high-tech systems Zelensky is so desperately begging the EUSA for," the journalist pointed out.
According to Bowes, the reason "the Western media doesn't want" the public to see this, is "to maintain your ignorance and, therefore, your complicity in the "Ukraine can win fantasy.'"
"After all, you're paying for it all," the journalist remarked.
