"Author Douglas Murray has called out left-wing media outlets for telling Donald Trump to tone down his language after facing two assassination attempts. "Mr Murray encouraged the Democrats and the media to “tone down” their language about the former president being a threat to democracy. “ 'I would like to think that if there had been two attempts on the life of Kamala Harris in the last few weeks that you would not find what right-wing media there is in America saying, ‘Well, she brought it on herself’,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “ 'I mean, that's a quite amazing thing with recent days in relation to Donald Trump, the left-wing media in America actually saying, ‘yeah, here's another assassination attempt on him, but maybe he shouldn't use such dirty words’. “ 'I find that astonishing.' ”

Tiny Israel flips the tables of warfare itself on the terrorists of Hezb'allah
Monica Showalter - American Thinker "Today's second wave of electronic bombings on Hezb'allah members in Lebanon, apparently by Israel, has got to have the Iran-backed terrorists freaking out.
"Yesterday, some 3,000 terrorists got their Hezb'allah-approved pagers detonated on them at once, killing a few and leaving a lot with blown off hands, eyes, or private parts.
"At least one of them got it on the toilet:
"Their communications networks were cut, and most likely, Israel had already tracked their entire network location from the rigged devices in the weeks previously.
"The Israelis know who they are. They know where they live. And they are coming for them -- even on the pot.
"They did it again today with a whole bunch of other Hezb'allah electronic devices.
September 18, 2024 "They got walkie talkies, solar panels, smartphones, intercoms, a slew of electronic devices. If I were a terrorist, I wouldn't go near a car, an oven, a garage door opener, a PC, a television set, a radio, anything. I'd head for the caves in the hills and try to live like bin Laden. If I were Nicolas Maduro, who turned over at least some of Venezuela's oil production to Hezb'allah, I wouldn't want to get anywhere near those oil installations.
"Call it hot pursuit.
"These pinpoint strikes targeting Hezb'allah members, but not the civilian population they swim in, represents a dramatic paradigm shift in the history of warfare.
"Because number one, it's amazing what they did. They did a conventional strike on a couple of Hezb'allah bigshots in Beirut a couple months ago, prompting Hezb'allah to change its communication system to low-tech pagers over cell phones. Someone figured out in Israel that they could intercept the supply chain of all these pagers before they were distributed, and with just a little effort, a few recruitings along the way, . . ."Full article...

Leftists Deserve the J6 Treatment - J.B. Shurk

| Would-be Trump Assassin Had Biden-Harris Bumper Sticker |
"Remember: illegally appointed special counsel Jack Smith is prosecuting President Trump in D.C. for exercising his constitutional right to free speech after the 2020 election. Smith’s case essentially claims that Trump was not entitled to question the legitimacy of the mail-in ballot–tainted election and that his refusal to concede to Joe Biden directly led to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The fact that Biden and his attorney general, Merrick Garland, are using the imprimatur of the criminal justice system as a smokescreen to railroad and possibly imprison the leader of the opposition party is bad enough. By treating President Trump’s speech as the “proximate cause” of other alleged crimes (consisting mostly of questionable trespass violations reimagined and inflated into felonies) committed by strangers, the Biden-Garland-Smith Triumvirat
"Should this bother all those rabid leftists who desperately want to see President Trump behind bars? I would say so. President Trump has now survived two assassination attempts, and although the FBI has done its best to muddy the waters concerning the motivations of the first gunman (trying to kill the Republican nominee for president seems like a pretty good clue, does it not?), the social media history of the second gunman (as well as the Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck) clearly exposes him as a Ukraine War–obsessed, anti-MAGA, Kamala Harris–supporting zealot who believes that President Trump is a civilizational threat." . . .
Where have we heard the Charlottesville and J6 lies recently? Kamala Harris repeated both during the presidential debate. Surely, if President Trump is responsible for “inciting” a fake “insurrection,” Biden and Harris are responsible for inciting two very real assassination attempts.
This Is Not The America We Were Promised (townhall.com) "The events of the last few years have confirmed that we are no longer a democracy in the sense that we once thought we were – and I know we’re a republic, but follow along with me. The premise of a democracy is that individual citizens can participate in the political process by making their positions known and voting for representatives who they understand will support their views. But those components are under attack here and throughout the West. They are under attack because our garbage elite considers our participation in our own governance to be both morally illegitimate and a practical nuisance. As a result, the elite is doing everything it can to prevent us from participating in our own governance. It’s intent to make us into serfs, disarmed, disenfranchised serfs who obey in silence." . . .
Note that this fake concern about fake rhetoric doesn’t apply to Donald Trump, who was shot in the head a couple of months ago because of being demonized for the last eight years by these very same jerks. Oh, and then another Harris-Walz voter tried to kill him last weekend. Do not think they do not intend this foreseeable consequence of their rhetoric.

Democratic operative announces party exit after volunteering at DNC : 'Impossible to unsee what I've seen'
Yael Halon; Fox News " 'Here's the sad truth: The Democratic Party has lost its way entirely,' former campaign operative wrote"
"Barker said she was raised in a family of blue-collar union Democrats near Kansas City, a "long ways away from the glitz, glamor, and ostentatious wealth I'd become accustomed to seeing in and around Democratic politics."
Former Obama-Biden fundraiser Allison Huynh joins 'Jesse Watters Primetime' to discuss her 'divorce' from the Democratic Party and why she is auctioning off her million-dollar Obama 'Hope' poster.
"A Democratic campaign operative revealed that she is exiting the party after volunteering at last month's Democratic National Convention, which left her "disenchanted" with Democratic leadership.
"In a Newsweek op-ed published Tuesday, Evan Barker described how she went from raising "tens of millions of dollars" for Democrats to distancing herself from a party she now believes is "totally out of touch" with everyday Americans.
"Barker said she was initially "thrilled" to volunteer at the DNC, where Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for president.
" 'But once there, wandering amidst the glitz and glam, imbibing the gloss and schmaltz of it all, I couldn't escape a sinking feeling. I felt submersed in a hollow chamber whose mottos were ‘Brat summer’ and ‘Joy’—totally out of touch with regular, every-day Americans and their pressing needs; instead, the most elite people in the world chanted in unison that "We're not going back," Barker wrote." . . .
. . ."Fast forward to today, and many of those same family members are no longer Democrats. They feel the party has changed, left them behind," she wrote. "At the DNC, I couldn't help but think about my family. Every time the elites chanted 'We're not going back,' what I heard was, 'We're not going back to the party your union family members used to vote for.'" . . .

“When you label people a threat to democracy and attempt to dehumanize/lie about them, violence occurs,” she wrote, sharing that she is a new mother, a veteran and “the first Mexican American elected to Congress from Florida,” which she said is in alignment with all of the left’s values.
"Luna, who is an outspoken ally of former President Donald Trump, did not go into details about the threat but insisted that she would not be “threatened” or “intimidated.”
" 'I will not be threatened, intimidated, or bow down to those using violence as a means to push their agenda. We will win,” she wrote.
"The reported bomb threat against Luna follows two assassination attempts on Trump and a reported bomb threat close to his Long Island rally location, which is supposed to take place Wednesday evening. Authorities have stated that the bomb threat near Trump was a false alarm." . . .
Elon Musk Punches Back After Gavin Newsom Signs Bill Making Memes, Parody ‘Illegal’ in California
California does love its warning labels. What did Democrats say about Trump destroying democracy? What did Rachel Maddow say about her being put in a camp?
I just signed a bill to make this illegal in the state of California. You can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content -- including deepfakes. x.com/GavinNewsom Deceptive content? What about MSNBC?
"Musk had posted this mockery ad back in July, and Newsom immediately had problems with it.
"Now, Newsom is back in the spotlight after signing AB-2655; a bill intended to “combat deepfake election content” like the so-called example Musk had posted.
“ 'Governor Gavin Newsom today signed three measures to remove deceptive content from large online platforms, increase accountability, and better inform voters,” the California Democrat’s website reads.
"AB-2655 “requires large online platforms to remove or label deceptive and digitally altered or created content related to elections during specified periods,” per the site."

Don Lemon Mocks Melania Trump's Assassination Attempt Video, Gets Eviscerated in Replies
"Shortly after the video was released, Lemon shared his own video with his reaction that was superimposed over the former first lady’s video."

| Libs of TikTok on X |
"If we were to postulate a spectrum of human behavior, with "Consummate Class Act" on the right side and "Complete Hateful Sack-O-Crap" on the left, then we could safely place Melania Trump on the right end and Don Lemon on the left. Don Lemon has proved that he deserves the status on any number of occasions, but none are more childish and petulant than his recent eye-rolling, grimacing, disgraceful commentary on a video Mrs. Trump released raising questions about the recent assassination attempt on her husband.
On his multiple social media accounts this week, Lemon shared a video of himself making confused and frustrated faces in reaction to Melania Trump’s clip, during which she called the attempt on former President Trump's life on July 13 "horrible" and "distressing," and added that there is "more to the story." One of Trump's supporters, Corey Comperatore, was killed in the shooting.
X users blasted Lemon for mocking Melania sharing her views on her husband almost being assassinated, with one critic saying his comments were "sick."
"Sick doesn't cover it. Consider the context here. This is a woman who saw her husband shot. She has, by the way, more class in the last joint in her left pinkie finger than Don Lemon has in his entire body, along with the bodies of his parents, his grandparents, and his first and maybe second cousins. Her husband, former President Donald Trump, escaped having his brains blown out by literally a whisker — and Don Lemon is mocking her for raising questions about the incident."

You Don't Say? In March City Council Meeting, Springfield Residents Complained of Haitians Attacking Pets
"Now, it cannot be stated that these instances are definitive proof, but at the same time, they counter the claims that Trump and Vance are basing claims on nothing at all."
. . ."We are in an era in which this country's legacy news media displays an abject lack of regard for their journalistic reputations. The current driving force in the press is to instantly oppose anything Donald Trump says and claim he has been proven wrong, even in the absence of proof. Over the past few weeks, this has been the prevailing narrative.
"Currently, the Springfield pets-being-eaten-by-immigrants imbroglio is the latest case the press is stumbling and fumbling over. Trump has been labeled as a racist and accused of fomenting intolerance over this “false” story, and it has even been cited as a possible inspiration for the latest assassination attempt on Trump. (Small matter that the attempted shooter is not Haitian, is not an immigrant, and did not hail from Springfield.) The press has been firm in its declaration that the story is disproven, including David Muir, who stated such a statement during the debate.
"Except…
"Gradually, and against the will of the media, details are seeping out of the area that something of this nature could be transpiring, or at the very least has been a concern for residents. What the press has failed to do is step back to take a breath and then consider for a moment just what might have been the source of such a story. If Trump is in fact making up the tale of devoured housepets, why would he concoct such a weird fable? Was there any basis at all for the claim from him, and his running mate J.D. Vance?

Cornell hate prof a stain on the academy, and fits right in
Cornell University professor Russel Rickford is back teaching at the school after calling the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel "exhilarating" last year.
"The remarkable thing about Russell Rickford is that there is nothing extraordinary about him.
"The Cornell University prof gained notoriety in the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7 by declaring that he found the terror attack “exhilarating.”
"He wasn’t specific about what was more exciting to him — the slaughter of hundreds of people at a music festival, including wounded people at point-blank range, the mass hostage-taking, the burning of people alive or the horrific sexual violence.
"For the committed anti-Zionist, there must be so many thrilling moments to choose from.
"Afterward, Rickford apologized for his “horrible choice of words.”
Sadly the remainder is behind a pay wall. It may do if you just know the man.

"Shamed history Professor Russell Rickford was out for the past year on “voluntary leave” after widespread public outcry when he was recorded at an off-campus anti-Israel rally cheering Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, invasion that slaughtered 1,200 Israelis.
" 'It was exhilarating, it was energizing ….I was exhilarated,” Rickford said at the time — before apologizing for applauding the mass murder of innocent civilians." . . .

Watch your words; Hillary wants to crush you!
‘Troubling’: Crooked Hillary Clinton Demands Jail For Americans With Ideas She Doesn’t Like (Video) ⋆ Conservative Firing Line "In a stunning revelation about how she would like to exercise a dictatorial control over Americans and their ideas, twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has called for jail for those with ideas that differ from hers.
"In an interview she was addressing her concerns about those who were “boosting Trump back in 2016.”
" 'But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. Uh. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence….”
"Of course, back in 2016, it was her campaign that funded the creation of a long list of lies about then-candidate Donald Trump, called the Steele Dossier, which she and other Democrats then promoted to try to defeat the eventual GOP president." . . .

Naturally, Clinton found a welcoming partner in MSNBC's Rachel Maddow:
The Left has resurrected its use of “Russia propaganda” as a talking point following the Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of Tenet Media, a Canadian media company run by Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan. In the indictment, it is alleged that Chen and Donovan were colluding with Russia’s state-controlled media outlet Russia Today (RT) to promote rhetoric that benefited Russia to their conservative audience, particularly with regards to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

. . ."The Department of Justice's weaponization of lawfare under the Biden-Harris regime and Attorney General Merrick Garland has been a stain on our country and makes us look like a banana republic. The DOJ raided Trump's home and went through Melania's personal things over classified documents—while letting his rival Joe Biden walk away scot-free for his own and perhaps worse documents scandal. We've watched as the DOJ and even local prosecutors like Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County DA Fani Willis have made a mockery of our institutions.
