Hillary Clinton Stokes the Fires of Anti-Trump Demagoguery

 The American Spectator

  "And who does Clinton blame for the assassination attempts on Trump? Why, Trump, of course. Hillary claims to have reacted in “horror” to the second assassination attempt on Trump, but blamed Trump for throwing “red meat out there to get people riled up.'

The American Spectator

 "The pain of losing out on being the first female American president must be too much to bear for Hillary Clinton. Back in 2016, she was assured by everyone — her political allies, her political enemies, the media, pollsters — that she was a shoo-in to become president. To a stunned Democratic Party, to a stunned Washington political establishment, to a stunned country, to a stunned world, and to a stunned Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump won the election. Thus began a series of political and legal moves, supported and reinforced by the media, to undermine the Trump presidency even before it began. These political and legal moves consumed the Trump presidency just as they have consumed Trump’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential contest. Clinton and her media allies repeatedly said that Trump was a threat to American democracy, a dictator in waiting, and a Hitler-like authoritarian. At least two men — Thomas Matthew Crooks and now Ryan Wesley Routh — apparently took these claims to heart and tried to kill the former president. Undeterred, Hillary Clinton, the day after the second assassination attempt on Trump, took to the airwaves on MSNBC to remind everyone that Trump is a “danger to our country and the world,” and called upon her media allies to present a “consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.” 

"Clinton is promoting her latest memoir, so her appearance on MSNBC also had greed as a motive. The Clintons are always willing to make a buck — which is fine — but Hillary couldn’t limit her remarks to promoting the book, she had to warn the country — presumably including future Thomas Crooks and Ryan Rouths — that “We can’t go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.” 

"In an interview in 2017, Clinton called President Trump a “clear and present danger to our democracy, to our institutions, to the rule of law, to the civil rights and human rights of so many Americans.” So the narrative of Donald Trump as a threat to our democracy started shortly after the 2016 election.

"Though much is made about Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen or rigged, Hillary Clinton expressed similar sentiments after her loss in the 2016 election — yet the media didn’t call her an “election denier.” According to the Washington Post, she even called Trump an “illegimate president.” The 2016 election, Hillary said in an interview on the Atlantic’s podcast, “was not on the level.” Trump, she said in 2020, was a “puppet of Putin.”

ABC’s David Muir Sees Rating Plunge Amid Debate Moderation Backlash

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)   "ABC’s “World News Tonight” has been experiencing a massive decline in ratings following widespread condemnation of host David Muir’s performance as a moderator during the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

"According to the New York Post, “World News Tonight” averaged about 7.6 million viewers per night throughout most of 2024, prior to the debate on September 10th. In the first three episodes after the debate, the show averaged about 6.7 million viewers, amounting to a roughly 12% drop.

"Following the debate, President Trump has criticized Muir at campaign rallies, as he and co-moderator Linsey Davis refused to fact-check anything that Harris said but repeatedly pushed back on statements from President Trump.

" 'Every one of them should have been questioned by David Muir, who I’ve lost a lot of respect for. Everyone’s lost respect for him,” said the former president last week. “It was so one-sided. It was one against three.”

"Davis attempted to justify her performance, where she incorrectly told President Trump that no states in the country allow for post-birth abortions. She cited the lack of fact-checking in the CNN debate on June 27th between President Trump and Joe Biden, which went so horribly for Biden that he was ultimately forced to withdraw from the race on July 21st.

" 'People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis claimed in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators.”

"Only after the debate did ABC fact-check anything said by Harris, when Martha Raddatz confirmed that the vice president had lied when she declared that there is “not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world.”

" '“Our fact-checkers found that to be false,” Raddatz confirmed." . . .

MA Intifada Self-Defense Case – Right Of Israel Supporters To Defend Themselves On Trial

 William A. Jacobson (legalinsurrection.com) 

The case of Scott Hayes, the Boston veteran who shot an anti-Israel protester who viciously attacked him, has the makings of the single most important self-defense case we’re going to see this year, and probably this decade, or at least in the last decade.

"When the anti-Israel psychopaths march on campuses and in cities chanting “Globalize the Intifada” and “There is Only One Solution, Intifada Revolution,” we all know what that means.

"It means the sort of violence and intimidation we have seen in the United States since October 7, and which they are threatening to escalate. It means what just happened in Newton, MA, a suburb of Boston, where an anti-Israel lunatic viciously attacked a peaceful pro-Israel protester, Iraq war veteran Scott Hayes.

"Mike covered the initial incident, and Andrew Branca covered the legal self-defense issues and concerns.

"I think this is a case we’re going to stick with along with the dozen of more self-defense cases we’ve covered over the years." . . .

Hillary Clinton Demands ‘Criminal Penalties’ for Americans to Deter ‘Misinformation’

WATCH: Hillary Clinton Demands ‘Criminal Penalties’ for Americans to Deter ‘Misinformation’ – PJ Media

"It’s 2016 all over again!

"Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting “election interference.” Hillary Clinton is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts.

"Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents’ alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly “Americans,” presumably private citizens who post loosely defined “misinformation” on social media.

"From the transcript, via Real Clear Politics (emphasis added):

Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee and other Republicans who are currently in office have said that Republicans go to the floor of the Congress and they parrot Russian talking points. 

So, I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They're not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish.

So I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want, but we are not going to let adversaries, whether it is Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.

. . ."Keep in mind that Clinton is saying all that just a day after the second assassination attempt on Trump. She might as well be winking and nodding at the lunatics in her base to try again. After all, if Trump truly is a "danger to our country and the world," then that opens the door for all kinds of violence under the guise of "protecting democracy." A real news network would have pushed back and asked what lengths Clinton is suggesting people go to. Instead, she's allowed to spew her bile uninterrupted.

Biden speaks about Trump and his voters.

Blame Left's Incendiary Rhetoric for Trump Assassination Attempts ( Victor Davis Hanson) . . ."That is, are we sending unambiguous messages to would-be assassins that a) lots of Trump-hating people would welcome an assassination attempt and canonize the wannabe assailant; b) it would not be that difficult to pull an assassination off, given security laxity and incompetence; and thus c) we will likely witness a series of such unhinged attempts?

"On Aug. 14, almost exactly two months ago, I predicted the following:

If Donald Trump all summer has been compared by his enemies to Hitler and his murderous Third Reich, and if a 20-year-old would-be assassin and murderer with ease took up a sniper’s position to kill Trump—without a notified Secret Service or other law enforcement attempting to abort the shooter’s attempted assassination—what signal does that send to other would-be assassins for the next 80 days of the 2024 campaign?

Is the message that if a 20-year-old amateur sniper can brazenly and visibly for nearly an hour breach all Secret Service security perimeters to shoot eight times at the president, hit him in the ear, kill one innocent bystander, and wound two others, then almost any future, more-experienced serious shooter could match or exceed the ability of that disturbed amateur to get close enough to Trump to fire more than eight shots at his head?

And that shooting Trump in many leftist quarters would subsequently earn the unhinged killer eternal fame, applause, and immortality?

And that if there are such anticipated rewards and perceived opportunities, then we may well see more attempts on candidate Trump’s life?

As Oslo turns 31, the Left must abandon its hatred

  Caroline Glick (jewishworldreview.com)

"Thirty-one years since the left embraced the PLO and hate, it must finally abandon it. Israel's survival depends on it."

"Sept. 13, 1993, was the day Israel's ruling class abandoned Zionism. That day, when then prime minister Yitzhak Rabin stood in the White House Rose Garden and officially recognized the Palestine Liberation Organization —to the rapturous applause of his supporters back home —was the moment Israel's elite collectively abandoned their attachment to their nation.

"The PLO was many things. It was a terrorist organization. It was the architect of modern terrorism, including airline hijacking, kidnapping, the murder of families, the mass murder of children, the assassination of diplomats.

"The PLO trained everyone from Khomeini's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the Japanese Red Army, the Baader Meinhof Gang and the Black Panthers. It brought terrorists from every ideological line together and forged them into a revolutionary conglomerate united in their desire to destroy the United States, the West, the Jews and their state, Israel.

"The PLO was a political warfare group. It brought genocidal Jew hatred to the West's radical left. It used the media to romanticize barbarous acts of mass murder and brutal torture as it carried them out.

"Through its Western lackies, barely 20 years after the Holocaust the PLO was able to reinstate Jew hatred as a tool for political mobilization and a major cultural force. Through its propaganda operations, the PLO convinced ignorant young people with guilty consciences that their Nazi parents were really victims. Zionism was demonized as a new Nazism —worse than the first one. And in 1975, 30 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the U.N. General Assembly passed Resolution 3374, which designated Zionism a form of racism.

"Zionism is often defined as the Jewish national liberation movement. And that is true enough, but that definition obfuscates more than it reveals. Zionism is simply Judaism.

"Judaism has three foundations —the Torah, the nation of Israel and the land of Israel. There have been centuries of campaigns to forcibly convert the Jews to other faiths, replete with mass burnings of sacred books aimed at wiping out the Torah and annihilating Jews by physically destroying their sacred texts and spiritually capturing them through forced renunciation of their faith." . . .

No One Stops Them--Absolutely No One--Stops Them

"The real problem with the "out of control," boundaryless, individual demonstrators and with the surging, "flooding," demonstrations; the large scale looting of stores; the violent, hallucinating mentally ill homeless men on my city streets and on public transportation is this: No one—absolutely no one--stops them.". . .

Show some anger and shake that fist! 

. . ."A sense of personal boundaries in public has frayed. Social etiquette in public is gone. Post-pandemic, many people show up in fairly dressed-down, even disheveled ways when summoned to court; appear at business meetings on zoom, and in person at airports, concerts, and restaurants. Worse: Although there are exceptions, people are so focused on their cellphones, that they do not see each other coming and thus, walk right into others, shove and push each other, take offense.

"Too many people are in a permanent rage--none more so than the pro-Hamas demonstrators who've been "on the job" since 10/7.

"Masked and keffiyeh—wearing pro-terrorist demonstrators have not only blocked traffic in my own fair city, they have also chained or glued themselves to bridges, defaced statues, private residences, restaurants. By now, they are a completely normalized phenomenon.

"No one has stopped them.

"They are everywhere almost all the time: a yelling, chanting, Jew-hating mob, disturbing the city peace, interrupting every holiday and public event, harassing innocent civilians, at work, at homes, and on the streets, but especially harassing Jews: Students of course, but also those who are dressed in visibly Jewish ways--plus Jewish museum directors, Jewish professors, both on campus and at their homes, and as they are dining in known Jewish restaurants.

"This actually just happened a few days ago in Philadelphia at a restaurant, Goldie's, owned by a Jewish businessman. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, described the demonstration as pure "antisemitism."

"The pro-Palestine protestors trespass all boundaries of civility, just as similar Jew-hating groups have been doing for many years in classrooms. They shout down any speaker perceived as a "Zionist," or "pro-America," and try to have him or her harassed right out of their university position.

"The other day, two surgically masked young women interrupted CNN anchor Dana Bash's book reading at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. One after the other, each woman got very close to Bash, and began screaming at the top of her voice rather hysterically. They were not interested in dialogue.

The night was filled with contentious moments where the moderators took on Trump with slanted/combative questions and targeted him with six fact-checks, evening inviting Vice President Harris to take part in one. Meanwhile, Harris received ZERO fact-checks.

" 'The first question to Trump came from World News Tonight anchor David Muir, who took Harris’s claims about Trump trade policy as fact and ridiculously asked him if he thought Americans could “afford” a 20 percent “national sales tax” he wasn’t proposing:

The vice president brought up tariffs, you responded. A let's drill down on this because your plan, as what she calls, is essentially a national initial sales tax. Your proposal calls for tariffs, as you pointed out here, on foreign imports across the board. You recently said you might double your plan imposing tariffs up to 20 percent on goods coming into this country. . . .
