To protect Joe and endanger his opponents - Patricia McCarthy  "Obama, the Clintons, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and the rest of us are beginning to find out that getting Biden out of the White House is more difficult than getting him in. Joe’s comment, “No one f$^ks with a Biden” may be the most memorable line of his miserable presidency.

"The idealists among us believe that the most important job of any president is to protect and defend the United States of America. Democrats seem to believe that the most important job of a president is to protect their hold on that office. President Biden, as his famous quote declares, is all about protecting himself and his family’s How To Get Rich In Politics enterprise.

"Biden has surrounded himself with people skilled at protecting him. Attorney General Merrick Garland has kept wayward son Hunter Biden out of jail so far, and that is noteworthy, given his love of vice. Members of his National Security team will say and write anything to protect Biden. There are no depths too low for his press secretary as she mangles words and logic in Joe’s defense." . . .

Who really tried to assassinate President Donald J. Trump? - Lynne Lechter    . . .The media tried to assassinate Trump.  From the time he came powerfully down that escalator in New York, looking every bit the prize fighter he exhibited yesterday, the press was and is merciless. They have mocked him and attacked, slandered and defamed him, but they have not taken him out.

"The Democrats have tried to assassinate Trump. They called him illegitimate, they called him a tyrant; President Biden who went all wobbly tonight, is still calling him a threat to democracy; many have wished him dead. Thank G-d that wish did not come true today. 

"Women of a certain ilk have tried to assassinate him.  Oh, the sordid sex tales. Rape in a dressing room in Bergdorf Goodmans!  Have you ever shopped there?  It is literally impossible. Staff watch those rooms like hawks. The police would have been immediately called and the falsely accused Trump might have been hauled out in handcuffs.  But the event would surely not have gone unnoticed at the time.

"Comedians have tried to assassinate Trump through mean diatribes. ‘Orange man bad’ is their popular meme -- who’s laughing tonight?" . . .

UPDATE: Mayorkas denied 'repeated requests' for more Secret Service protection for Trump, GOP lawmaker says | Fox News   "A House Republican lawmaker is alleging that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied stronger Secret Service protection for former President Trump multiple times.

"Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., made the accusation hours after Trump was grazed by a bullet at his Saturday Pennsylvania rally.

" 'I have very reliable sources telling me there have been repeated requests for stronger secret service protection for President Trump. Denied by Secretary Mayorkas," Waltz wrote on X.

"The House Homeland Security Committee is planning on investigating reports that Trump was denied stronger Secret Service protection before the rally, a source told Fox News Digital." . . .

Dem Staffer Axed Over Vile Post About Trump's Near-Assassination After Newt Gingrich Sounds Alarm

Resist the Mainstream (resistthemainstream.com)

Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich Congressman Benny Thompson’s staffer Jacqueline Marsaw posted last night "I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn't me talking." She should be fired today. Thompson introduced the resolution to cut off secret service protection for President Trump. With staff like this the poison is deep.

How bad must Democrats hate us to support this guy?

“Bennie Thompson proposed legislation that would authorize removal of Secret Service protection from former presidents ‘upon sentencing following conviction for a federal or state offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year,’” it read.

The assassination attempt on Trump’s life has made the American divide clearer than ever - Patricia McCarthy

“This is the America we have now, divided between Americans who found the near-murder of a presidential candidate profoundly disturbing and Americans who are disappointed the shooter didn’t blow Donald Trump’s head open. A nation polarized so radically cannot sustain itself.”  Mark Tapson, Front Page Magazine

"The horrific event that occurred on Saturday in Butler, PA, has made the ideological and moral divide between Americans appallingly clear.  Those of us who are still reeling from what might have been are learning just how venal the Trump-hating left actually is.  What is coming out of their mouths and tweets is beyond shocking.  Sure, we’ve all known they loathe Trump and support the catastrophically diminished Biden but who knew just how conscienceless the left is today?" . . .   

. . ."Pundits on CNN and MSNBC, celebrities on X and all the other social media sites, are not shy with their glee that Trump was shot and that they are disappointed that he was not killed." . . .

Young, dumb, and full of Democrat party hate - Marcus Ebenhack

. . ."Today’s Democrats are brazenly guilty of what psychologists call projection.  Attributing to their opponents the sins of which they themselves are guilty of.  Russian collusion, not Trump, Hillary.  Weaponizing government to jail political opponents, again, not Trump, Biden.  Censoring opposing viewpoints and declaring them “disinformation,” you guessed it, not Trump, Biden.

Hamas announced the death of the youngest hostage Kfir Bibas (10 months old). The mom, brother, and dad are dead too.

"Hamas has said they had no ability to track because it was so bloody and chaotic. Because they were high on Captagon and high on religion.

"It's worse, they kidnapped these people, tortured them, and then murdered them...AFTER the massacre.

Tool of Hamas.

"How people can support a group that has murdered and abducted civilian men, women, children, raped and tortured babies in cold blood is absolutely beyond human. While 9/11 was inconceivable in its scope, the Hamas attack on Israel is inconceivable in its depravity.
"Many people in 9/11 died an instantaneous death from a high-speed plane crash. there were others who suffered from burning in a fire, having no choice but to jump off the building. However, in the 10/7 attacks, many were tortured/mutilated/raped before being brutally killed.

"All terrorist attacks are bad, innocent people die in all of them. whether it be 2 people killed, 10 people killed, 1200 people killed, or 3000+ killed.

"However, there is a concerning number of people in the US, the UK, and Europe who condemn 9/11 only to praise the Hamas attack.

"Imagine the level of propaganda campaigns that will be run on TikTok the moment China attacks Taiwan." . . .

It’s time to talk about the Secret Service problem we saw yesterday *UPDATED*

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Preliminarily, let me say what I wrote yesterday: Trump’s near miss seems to have an element of Divine Providence to it, reminiscent of how George Washington invariably emerged from the heat of battle unscathed. Just sayin’. Now, to the topic at hand, which is the Secret Service’s performance before, during, and after the assassination attempt. It wasn’t good.

"Ironically, just yesterday, I finished reading Lee Child’s Without Fail, which was published in 2008. In it, Jack Reacher works with the female head of the Vice President’s Secret Service detail to help foil an assassination attempt. Unlike most Reacher novels, this one had no fistfights. Instead, it focuses tightly on what the Secret Service does to protect politicians.

"I don’t know what kind of research Child did, but the point he makes repeatedly—and it’s an obvious and intuitive one—is that the Secret Service must control the high ground. Every rooftop or high floor within range of a politician is a potential platform for an assassin.

"In Butler, Pennsylvania, however, not only did the Secret Service seemingly make no effort to control a rooftop within relatively easy shooting distance of a former president and current presidential candidate, but Secret Service agents also seemed disinterested in repeated warnings that a man with a gun had crawled on top of a building that gave him a clear shot at President Trump. This video shows the first eyewitness we heard from, but reports are that several other people saw the same thing and had the same response from Trump’s security detail—that is, no response:. . .

RUMOR: I have heard from three different sources that the counter sniper team had the shooter in their sights and requested permission to engage but were told not to fire. Only AFTER the assassin fired did they return fire. It is unclear who the counter sniper team was with. pic.twitter.com/7iSo6weR1x

Leftists make the ludicrous assertion that the shooter was a Republican *UPDATE*

RealityBites by Broc Smith

 Leftists make the ludicrous assertion that the shooter was a Republican *UPDATE* - Andrea Widburg   "Democrats are very excited now that we know who the shooter was (although I won’t use his name to deny him the fame he obviously sought). This excitement is because he was...wait for it...a registered Republican! However, if you’ve paid any attention at all to the way in which Democrats have tried to game the 2024 Republican primaries, you’ll understand that the man’s political registration was meaningless. What’s meaningful is his words and how he spent his money.

"Harry Sisson, a very strange young man with a weird Biden fetish, was out in front with the news that a Republican was the one who tried to kill Trump: . . .

The FBI has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Pennsylvania as the person who shot former President Donald Trump during an assassination attempt.

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) July 14, 2024

. . .  "Again, that’s not the act of an actual Republican.

"In the absence of more information, the best guess as to why the shooter registered as a Republican is that he intended to vote in the Republican primary. After all, Democrats didn’t have to vote in their own primary because the party made sure that Joe Biden was the chosen one. With that out of the way, the party faithful were told to go forth and mess with Republicans’ ability to pick their preferred presidential candidate:

• New York Times: “Democrats Are Meddling in Republican Primaries”
• AP: “Some Democrats voting in GOP primaries to block Trump picks”
• Indiana Capital Chronicle: “New billboards urge Indiana Democrats to take Republican ballots in May primary”

"In states with open primaries, Democrats could simply elect to vote in the Republican primary. Indeed, in her home state of South Carolina, Nikki Haley targeted Democrats to block true Republicans from choosing their candidate.

"However, Pennsylvania, where the shooter lived and registered to vote, is a closed primary state. If you want to vote in a party primary, you must register with that party. And that’s almost certainly what the shooter did." . . .

AOC: part of the Congressional Democrat's brain trust

 AOC wants to impeach two Supreme Court justices - John Klar   . . ."Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has led the charge to impeach U.S. Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel J. Alito, Jr. on grounds of alleged failure to report gifts and for political views that AOC asserts compromise their ethical obligation toward impartiality.   In particular, AOC is enraged that Justice Thomas has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 elections and the Democrat narrative regarding the events of January 6, 2021, and that Justice Alito’s wife passionately supported Donald Trump through the so-called insurrection and displayed flags AOC connects to extremism." . . .

"AOC, et al. seek to displace two justices for their (and their wives’) conservative political views so that the institution of the Court may be more fully weaponized solely for the advancement of social justice causes instead.  This is the declared intention of endorser Take Back the Court: . . ."

"AOC’s impeachment initiative is a politically motivated ploy timed to distract national attention from a floundering POTUS while virtue-signaling faux righteousness before the Cult-Party faithful.

"The Democrats lack a party majority in the House (necessary to pass the articles of impeachment to the Senate) and hold only a bare majority in the U.S. Senate (where the resolutions would require a two-thirds vote for conviction).  There is no way that these outrageous, anti-American resolutions will pass.

"AOC’s hypocrisy is plain: she attacks these justices for political views she claims are inappropriate to the Court while shamelessly advancing far more partisan one-party totalitarianism — always in the name of justice."

Trump Haters Immediately Flood Twitter With Sick New Hashtag - Pure Evil -The Western Journal

Who is Thomas Matthew Crooks? Not much is known at this time but a disturbing picture is starting to emerge - American Thinker. . ."Reuters reported that Crooks was a registered Republican according to state voter records, and that he had donated $15 to a left wing Democrat progressive group, The Progressive Turnout Project, in 2021, through the ActBlue Democrat donation platform. Interestingly, Crooks’ contribution to the leftist group was dated Jan. 20, 2021, the date of Biden’s inauguration, while he registered to vote as a Republican eight months later in September 2021." . . .

. . ."Interviewed on FOX News this morning at 3:30 AM ET, retired FBI agent Bobby Chacon commented about Crooks:

If we look at this as a suicide mission – he knew that he was going to be a martyr. .  . So what makes him so radicalized that he wants to become this martyr and kill Donald Trump? In my mind, the constant drum beat of comparing Trump to somebody like Adolf Hitler, when Hitler was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, would be something that would radicalize a young person. If any of us had the opportunity to go back to the 1930s and assassinate Adolf Hitler, we might do it."

Screen Shot: Biden's Secret Service Director's Profile Says It All - Diversity

 Daily Express US (msn.com)

"Cernovich's post drew plenty of comments that mocked Cheatle's PepsiCo years, but a few hit on the real problem -- the leftist idea that "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" -- DEI in short -- is a substitute for competence when it counts. Another DEI hire."

"Diversity" isn't looking so good these days -- not when it comes to the Secret Service.

"But Secret Service Director Kimberly A. Cheatle apparently considers it a virtue important enough to be mentioned in the very first paragraph of her professional biography.

"In the aftermath of Saturday's very nearly successful attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump, it's looking more like a disgrace.

"Cheatle's profile on the Secret Service website says it all:

"She is responsible for successfully executing the agency’s integrated mission of protection and investigations by leading a diverse workforce composed of more than 7,800 Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement Officers, and Administrative, Professional, and Technical personnel."

"The word "diverse" isn't bold in the original, but it might as well be. The only reason a woman who oversees an agency that should be dedicated to preserving the lives of presidents and would-be presidents would even mention the makeup of her staff with a term that connotes racial and sexual "identities" -- and do it in the second sentence of her bio -- is that she considers it vital in the United States of 2024.

The Trump Gunman Fired the Rifle, the Left Loaded the Gun

 Jim Thompson – RedState

"Then J6 happened. Although the mob was removed from the Capitol with the vote to confirm completed within hours, those few hours of mayhem convinced a vast cohort of the crazy left that “democracy had been on the brink.” Transfer of power and democracy were never in danger, but the cult of the deranged had formed."

"Before the ink was dry on the gunman’s fingerprint sheet, the elected Sheriff of Pima County, Clarence Dupink, passionately proclaimed that “political vitriol” was “absolutely to blame” for the shooting. By early afternoon, Jared Loughner had been identified as the shooter – and identified as white and male. These two latter facts apparently were enough to get the yellow journalism machine in full throttle as Loughner was instantly labeled a neo-Nazi and white supremacist. Then Loughner was a Tea Party guy, an ultra “right” guy, a veteran. None of it was true.   

"The “person of interest” the media was hunting was a cab driver, and Giffords wasn’t dead – Facts were intruding on the myth, but true believers were too red-faced with hate to bother with facts. Yellow journalists went into overdrive.  

"By late afternoon of the shooting, the kooks on MSNBC were exploding with insults – all aimed at the right. The HuffPo and the DailyKosers were ranting about violence and, at the same time wishing death to conservatives. Twitter lit up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The theme was the same: The shooter, they wailed, was provoked by the “right.” Sarah Palin and her “target map” showing congressional districts Republicans wanted to flip. They wailed that Palin had incited the killer. Broadcast media was soon showing the soon-to-be-famous Palin “target map” as Exhibit A. Giffords' district was on that map, so, ipso facto, Palin had put the gun in the assassin's hand.  

"They concluded Palin’s rhetoric generally and her target map specifically caused Loughner to turn to mass murder. By nightfall, the torches were lit, and the pitchforks were out. The mob was collectively screaming for blood; the mob wanted Palin’s head on a pike. By the next day, facts had gotten in the way. 

"Loughner wasn’t a white supremacist. He wasn’t a foot soldier in a conspiracy; he wasn’t a “right-wing kook”; he wasn’t a vet. He was simply – a kook. Loughner was described by acquaintances as strikingly anti-social. He was often seen talking to himself, and when he spoke to others, he made little sense. He didn’t watch TV and didn’t listen to talk radio. The types of books he favored were written by Adolf Hitler and Karl Marx. He wasn’t part of the “Tea Party” or any party or group for that matter.  Loughner was a drifter, a loser, a nihilist, and crazy person.  

"No one needed a degree in psychology to determine that Loughner wasn’t a political assassin — he was just nutty as a fruitcake. Loughner attended Giffords events three years before his rampage and apparently didn’t get the attention from Giffords he thought he deserved and started a slow boil. He held a personal grudge, and on January 8, 2011, he acted on it. This rebuff occurred three years before he pulled a gun and shot 19 people. It predated Palin and her target map. It predated Arizona’s SB 1070 and predated Obama. This information, coupled with his disinterest in TV, cable news, or talk radio (and adding his mental illness to the mix) would lead anyone with the IQ of a gnat to the conclusion that Loughner’s rampage had no link to political rhetoric, political imagery or current events.

Rantz: After failed Donald Trump assassination attempt, will you stop claiming he’s Hitler?

 Trump assassination attempt after gross 'democracy in peril' claims

Fearmongering and demonizing opponents might win elections, or even given MSNBC some ratings, but it comes at the cost of social cohesion and public safety.

"The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is a chilling reminder of how far political rhetoric has strayed from civility and reason. Even before we get the details about who is behind the attempted assassination, we can’t be shocked that it’s gotten to this point given what Trump has endured.

"For years, Democrat opponents of Trump have resorted to extreme language, labeling him as “Hitler”, “a fascist,” or an “existential threat to democracy.” Democrats claim women will live as if they’re in “A Handmaid’s Tale” under Trump. Others scream that Trump in office endangers us all — that he will become a tyrant and we’ll never have elections again.

"Such hyperbolic accusations have always been unproductive. Now, Trump is lucky to have lived through the consequences of the dangerously inflammatory language from too many. As he’s on a campaign trajectory to be elected president, it’s worth asking those responsible for the nastiest claims about Trump: is this worth the demonizing?

"More from Jason Rantz: Pramila Jayapal’s dangerous rhetoric could incite violence 

Will those who demonize Donald Trump change their tune after an assassination attempt?

"After the attempted assassination, Democrats that have engaged in the very hyperbolic language demonizing Trump put out statements condemning political violence. But you can’t keep calling someone Hitler or an existential threat to democracy and then just merely say political violence is unacceptable.

"Seattle Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) said she is “horrified” by the unacceptable political violence. Yet she’s told her angry, aggressive progressive base to “take to the streets” to “fight tooth and nail” against a Supreme Court she said was a “direct threat to our rights and our democracy.” Similarly, Governor Jay Inslee said political violence is unacceptable (while not mentioning Donald Trump by name), yet just days ago posted on X that Trump is a “threat to the basic functioning of democracy.” . . .
