". . . the best we can do is lock up criminals, not allow other countries’ criminals to immigrate here, and ask Democrats to drop the Tourette’s syndrome whenever they talk about Trump.
"The main question I have about Donald Trump’s latest attempted assassin, Cole Tomas Allen — a teacher, naturally — is: I wonder if he was a fair grader to Trump supporters?
"One question I don’t have is whether some new security protocol could stop random nuts from doing insane things in a country of 340 million people.
"Every journalist who was at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner seems to be writing pieces saying, first, that they were at the dinner; second, they really, really were at the dinner — that was them sitting next to the energy secretary! — and third, that they noticed the lax security at the time.
"Do NOT blame Democrats and the media for activating unstable personalities with their nonstop hysterical denunciations of President Trump, provably a member of the Waffen SS! To mention just a few of the lovely sobriquets they’ve given the president:— fascist (former Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Reps. Jamie Raskin, Ayanna Pressley and Ed Markey, Trump’s first White House chief of staff John Kelly, Trump’s first Joint Chiefs chairman, Mark Milley — “fascist to the core” — MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, NPR, etc.);—Nazi (Hillary Clinton, former President Joe Biden, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Tim Walz, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, etc.);— racist (Biden, Harris, Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand; former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Reps. Jerry Nadler, Ilhan Omar, Jasmine Crockett, Yvette Clarke, Frederica Wilson, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow — “openly racist president” — The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson, The New York Times’ David Leonhardt; The New Yorker’s John Cassidy, CNN, MSNBC, The Guardian, etc.).
"And so on.
"Just tighten up security around the man they describe as a mortal threat to humanity. Noticeably, none of the proposed security measures would have stopped Allen.
"Atlantic writer Shane Harris wrote that over “the many years I have been a guest” — the rest of the piece is just filler — “I can’t recall anyone giving my invitation more than a passing glance.” Similarly, the BBC’s Gary O’Donoghue complained that, “the man on the door outside only took a cursory look at my ticket from what must have been six feet away.”
"A closer examination of the tickets might have kept out striving, second-rate journalists hoping to sneak into the posh event, but wouldn’t have stopped Allen, who was staying at the hotel." . . .More...
