The argument that Trump posed a Hitler-level threat to American democracy can be traced back to the first outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome among left-leaning journalists in 2016. What made the argument so malignant was that it justified using all means possible to disrupt Trump’s presidency and to prevent his re-election. We should not be surprised, then, at what happened yesterday. It was the inevitable result of years of vitriolic,

Now zoom out and think about the genocidal language of the last couple of years, that has been introduced, spun up, amplified, in our formerly more civil discourse. Pro-vaxxers wanted anti-vaxxers dead. Anti-vaxxers have made snide remarks about the deaths of the vaccinated. Pro-Palestinian protesters have cried, “Death to America” and “Death to Jews.” Pro-Israeli voices have called for the eradication — even “liquidation” — of Gaza and Gazans.

And on, and on.

My friend was telling me about the Pride parade in San Francisco this year —....

I wondered — as Candace Owens had done, I hope not as ignorantly — Why? Why devote this kind of energy - which is not needed, to support LGBTQ legal rights — to offending or degrading or corrupting public space, and affecting children?

Then I remembered something a mentor of mine had explained to me. He is involved with the Chabad movement, and many of the Rabbis expect the Messiah to appear (or appear again) soon.

My mentor is eager to see a world in which both Jews and non-Jews know about and follow the seven Noahide commandments. In the views of many Chabad religionists, it is only when humans align with God by living moral lives, that we prepare for and even “bring down” to earth, Mashiach, the Messiah. (In his view it does not matter if we call it a Christian or a Jewish Messiah; it is the same time of, act of, redemption, and the same establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven).

In this worldview, we had all better start getting ready, because Mashiach is due to arrive in the next few years.

“The dark forces know that their time is almost up,” he explained. “And so they want to get people to break every commandment — to do every evil deed — because only by doing so, does that delay the arrival of the Mashiach.”

According to NBC News, the replacement campaign has lost steam not because Democrats think the president can seize a moment of unity, but because they think the race is now over.

Mehlhorn went on to characterize the attack as “a classic Putin play,” and claimed that this theory is “more plausible” than the notion that a deranged individual actually tried to murder Trump.

But wait, it gets even more bizarre. Mehlhorn then expresses outrage that major media outlets and influencers are not peddling this narrative. “I skimmed a few headlines just now. NOT ONE NEWSPAPER OR OPINION LEADER IN AMERICA IS WILLING TO OPENLY CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT TRUMP ANND PUTIN STAGED THIS ON PURPOSE,” he wrote: //

The other possibility – which feels horrific and alien and absurd in America, but is quite common globally – is that this “shooting” was encouraged and maybe even staged so Trump could get the photos and benefit from the backlash. //

I don’t believe for a second that folks like Mehlhorn actually believe that Saturday’s shooting was somehow staged. The entire theory makes no sense.

One person actually died in the attack. Two others were wounded. Moreover, the shooter missed his mark, only grazing Trump’s ear. Anyone who believes that some 20-year-old could pull that off on purpose has been watching far too many movies.

At this point, it makes no sense to pretend the assassination attempt was a false flag – and folks on the left know it. They are entertaining this fantasy for two reasons: They don’t want to admit there are people in their camp that could carry out such an act and they know the failed attempt to murder Trump will only help his campaign. These people are motivated purely by politics.

Why do we assume they screwed up? Far as I'm concerned, an error like that should be considered planned until proven otherwise. No one is that stupid, no operation is that sloppy. The roof was left unguarded and the shooter knew that would be the case or he wouldn't have been there.

Occam's Razor, this was intentional.

Online leftists are saying the screw up was the shooter missed.

Believe them.

Not giving these monsters the benefit of the doubt with "incompetence" when the week before Biden said it was time to put a a bullseye on Trump.

NO! When dealing with evil always assume to worst most twisted thing you can think of. Then reality will reveal it was even more twisted.

Most conservatives, are too loving, caring and moral to comprehend pure evil that has zero ounces of love, care or morality at any time. Not even simply stupidity explains how a gunman got inside the secret service perimeter which should have extended well BEYOND the building the shooter was on top of. //

I have no idea but that's what it looks like. The top of the USS denied requested increases in protection. Biden said put a bullseye on him. The counter sniper was looking in the exact direction of the shooter and didn't have to move to fire. So it's possible the roof was left open, the counter sniper was looking somewhere else and ignored the obvious elevated position, and the police decided an eye witness pointing to a man on the roof wasn't worth exploring all by coincidence, but I think that sounds unbelievable.

How would that shooter have known the roof would be unguarded? Why would USS leadership be more incompetent than a toddler and not post anyone on that rooftop or at least scan it constantly with the counter sniper team?

I don't know. Is it possible a large collection of people were all that incompetent OR it was a plan to take Trump out and take out the shooter so he couldn't talk.

Which is more believable? //

My guess is the plan came from the top and those at the ground level were deceived or mislead somehow. I too don't believe everyone on the ground was involved. But if the security plan had a hole and the regime had a patsy, then maybe that's how this happened.

I don't believe everyone there was corrupt. I also don't believe the ones who drew up the security plan were all incompetent and stupid.

This window of opportunity was filled with a disposable shooter and to quote Biden, the idea that was an accident is hard to believe. Too many people had to be absolute morons for that to be true.

Just think, one Pennsyl-tucky redneck on the roof of that building with a lawn chair and a case of Yuengling would have done more to protect Trump than the Secret Service.

The issue of overwork is sort of baked in during campaign season. Other claims that Trump's security detail was pillaged to provide security for Jill Biden, that more resources were requested and denied, and that the counter-sniper detail was only assigned the day before the rally, if true, are the decision of Director Cheatle, or at least had her approval. The actions are also so petty that it is easy to believe that the White House, particularly "Dr. Jill," was behind them. //

It is very difficult to believe that Trump had "enhanced" security. On the other hand, the decision to add a counter-sniper team to security only 24 hours before the event does explain how the shooting happened. A shortage of personnel explains why the shooter's vantage point was "outside the security cordon," though not why local police did not guard it, //

In the end, it comes down to credibility. Siphoning off Trump's regular security detail to protect Dr. Jill goes a long way toward explaining the goat-rope we see as they are bundling Trump into the vehicle. The people leaking about what went on behind the scenes aren't making excuses; they are giving reasons.

Mayorkas has a very estranged relationship with the truth, and there is no reason to believe anything he said. The surest way to tell he was lying to Stephanopoulos was to watch his face. His lips were moving.

🚨 (cont.) "I’m told the only permanent agent from trump’s detail during the rally was SAIC (Special Agent In Charge) Kern, two sources within the Secret Service community told me. All others were temps," Crabtree reported. Pittsburgh "USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her, the source said. Also - the advance work only occurred one-day beforehand bc of a lack of resources."

Where were the resources? The Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her. “That is f—-ing unbelievable to me,” the source remarked.

Another Secret Service source says approval for the Counter Sniper Team was only granted the day before the rally - and that is not enough time for a two-man team to do their survey. That’s nowhere near enough time - a site like that should have had at least three Secret Service counter-sniper teams at the very least.”. //

Theres an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed. This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo

The effort to replace President Biden as the Democratic Party's 2024 nominee has lost all momentum and is essentially "over" following the assassination attempt against former President Trump, allies of the president say, according to a new report. //

As I wrote shortly after the event, this is the image that changed everything. This couldn't be more powerful if it had been deliberate, planned, and posed: Trump, bloodied but defiant, fist raised, calling out to the crowd. The American flag behind him, seemingly upside-down, which is a sign of a nation in distress. The Secret Service agents formed a wall of bodies around the former president to take a bullet for him if necessary. This, folks, is Pulitzer Prize-level photography. And this image, an image of defiance in the face of an attempted assassination, couldn't present a more stark contrast when set alongside tired, pale, befuddled old Joe Biden. //

They should concentrate on team-building, on finding candidates that have appeal beyond the urban cohorts, the coastal elites, and the radical left "progressives."

Maybe they could even take their party back to something Harry Truman would recognize. //

I don't mean any disrespect to our WW II veterans, but that picture at the top has a "Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima" feel. It's definitely an iconic image that I would like to have on a T-shirt. No words, just the picture.

As I write, the information in the public domain regarding the perpetrator is still sparse. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed shortly after firing his lethal shots. The public is therefore left to speculate about his motives.

However, what we do not need to speculate about is the climate created and cultivated by Donald Trump’s political enemies. America is polarized, toxic, and politically close to a breaking point in part because the country’s liberal political, cultural, and media elite never accepted Trump’s legitimacy as the country’s president. //

For years they have proclaimed Trump to be a danger to democracy and demonized his voters as witting or unwitting fascists. The May 16 edition of the once-revered New Republic depicted Trump as Hitler on its front cover.

“We chose the cover image, based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster,” wrote editor Michael Tomasky, “for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard. … But he and his people vowed all along that they would use the tools of democracy to destroy it.” Trump, argued Tomasky, was “damn close enough” to being an American Hitler, “and we’d better fight.”

The argument that Trump posed a Hitler-level threat to American democracy can be traced back to the first outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome among left-leaning journalists in 2016. What made the argument so malignant was that it justified using all means possible to disrupt Trump’s presidency and to prevent his re-election. //

The Democratic Party is in a mess today because they failed to do what a losing party in a major democracy is supposed to after it loses an election: conduct a thorough autopsy and get to the bottom of all the factors that lead to its defeat. That is supposed to be the main point of the years in opposition—to figure out what went wrong and come back equipped with insight, resources, and policy proposals to attract the voters.

Instead, after 2016, the Democrats invested their money, time, energy, and media ties into an effort to trash Trump’s presidency and thwart his bid for a second term. It seemed to work. They won the 2020 election.

But after 2020 the Democrats did not settle down to govern and bring a divided nation together. Under the stewardship of an elderly and superficially moderate president, they continued to wage rhetorical and legal jihad against former president Trump.

It's a huge day in politics and MSNBC has pulled 'Morning Joe' off the air. They're apparently worried the MJ crew might say something 'inappropriate' about the Trump assassination attempt. From CNN: https://cnn.com/2024/07/14/media/msnbc-morning-joe-pulled-trump-assassination/index.html

"The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution," her order states. "Special Counsel Smith’s use of a permanent indefinite appropriation also violates the Appropriations Clause [...] but the Court need not address proper remedy for that funding violation given the dismissal on Appointments Clause grounds. The effect of this Order is confined to this proceeding." //

"The bottom line is this," she wrote. "The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers. The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers. If the political branches wish to grant the Attorney General power to appoint Special Counsel Smith to investigateand prosecute this action with the full powers of a United States Attorney, there is a valid means by which to do so. He can be appointed and confirmed through the default method prescribed in the Appointments Clause, as Congress has directed for United States Attorneys throughout American history, see 28 U.S.C. § 541, or Congress can authorize his appointment through enactment of positive statutory law consistent with the Appointments Clause."

Yet, here's USA Today's take when it applies to the language of Joe Biden. They even used the classic "Republicans pounced."

Republicans pounced on Biden's remarks after the shooting, even though there is no evidence tying those comments to the attack on Trump or the shooter's motivation. //

The bullseye comment is not just "one (bad night) comment' -- the problem is how Biden and the left have continually targeted Trump as the devil, Hitler, not worthy of respect or being treated like a normal opponent, dehumanizing him, calling him an existential "threat to democracy." //

"It's time to put Trump in a bullseye." - Joe Biden

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?"

Corey Comperatore, 50, who served as the fire chief for Buffalo Township, was shot and killed by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, at the rally, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Sunday. //

He was the best dad a girl could ever ask for. My sister and I never needed for anything. You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed, and if he didn't know he would figure out how. He could talk and make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday and loved every minute of it. //

Allyson also wrote about her dad's faith: "He was a man of God, loved Jesus, and also looked after our church and members as family." //

The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.

He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family.
