The Morning Report — 7/15/24

Good Morning Kids. While what happened to Donald Trump on Saturday is revolting in the extreme, like everything else he and we have been through especially these past three years, is what happened really all that surprising?

And in surviving another Democrat/Leftist/anarchist assassination attempt to add to the list that goes back to Abraham Lincoln, because Trump dared raise his fist in defiance even as the blood ran down his cheek, the Democrat left that have bayed for Trump's blood since he came down the golden escalator at TrumpTower 9 years ago are now engaged in the typical blaming of the rape victim for dressing provocatively.

The Democrat Left has now gone full Muslim. In blaming Trump for the assassination attempt and for the gall of not only surviving it but defiantly so, As Sharia Law dictates the victim of rape is the criminal, not the rapist. Ditto Donald Trump.

Lest we forget that production of Julius Caesar in Central Park where the aforementioned lead character was presented as Donald Trump, or talentless dishrag Kathy Griffen olding up a prop of Trump's bloody severed head on national television.

Nearly 9 years of sliming him as literally Hitler, and those of us who support him, or to be more precise, who oppose them, as being Nazis and white supremacists hell bent on destroying "our precious democracy."

Second gunman in the bleachers? Crooks got his head vaporized and yet we still don't know by whom.

There are all kinds of questions that point to either the competence or lack thereof of the Secret Service, as well as local law enforcement. Of course, given what we now know of the completely politicized nature of our national law enforcement and intelligence agencies and their documented palace coup against Donald Trump that started in 2016 at the behest of Hilary Clinton and extending well into Trump's term of office including the infamous letter signed by 51 of America's top spooks calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian propaganda. And on and on and on. Is it a stretch to think that this was an FBI/CIA plot? They helped steal an election, did their best to politically sabotage and remove Trump from the moment he came down the golden Trump tower escalator 9 years ago.

We have innocent people rotting in jail over a supposed insurrection that was a false flag op involving DOJ, Capitol PD stooges who attempted to foment unrest after having the doors opened for them and escorted inside the Capitol. We also have the army declaring pro-life groups as domestic terrorists.

And this is just one example of the Leftists using their positions in the bureaucracy and elective office to persecute political enemies.

The reactions by the institutional left in and out of government are beyond despicable.But at least they're honest. Not the ones who blame victims, but the ones who are crestfallen that the assassin failed.

Friend and friend of the blog Michael walsh has had the Left's number for a very long time, and yet again he nails it:

Since the day the first Democrat vice-president (and co-founder of Tammany Hall), Aaron Burr, killed one of the Founding Fathers, they've always been this way. Consider: between 1865 and 1901, three presidents were assassinated, all Republicans. Three of the first six elected GOP presidents were murdered, by Southern sympathizers, anarchist leftists, and sexual weirdos. JFK, the lone Dem, was shot and killed by a Communist. In addition, there were attempts on the life of Teddy Roosevelt (shot), Ronald Reagan (shot), and Gerald Ford (shot at twice). Within just the past few years, senator Rand Paul was violently assaulted, congressman Steve Scalise was shot by a Trump-hating Bernie Bro, and a Leftist psycho traveled across the country to try and assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. They never stop, they never sleep, they never quit.

To this day, Bernie Sanders and Dick Durbin have yet to answer for what they know and how they knew James Hodgkinson. Given the state of play, they likely will never have to answer for their involvement with the would be mass assassin who nearly mowed down a slew of GOP congressmen on a softball field.

Meh, as we all should know the sage words of Ace himself by now, our speech is violence and their violence is speech.

When that calculus changes, perhaps America as it was or as we had envisioned it might have a shot at revival. And no that is not me telling you to go out and shoot up Democrats. Of course, the usual trolls and others will try and twist it as such. And that is supposed to keep me from writing it, let alone thinking it. That is how they play that game.

Basta cosi.

TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
• DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).

• Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in tit-for-tat skirmishes over the Israeli-Lebanese border since Oct. 7, the date Hamas invaded Israel and Israel subsequently invaded Gaza, but mounting tensions in June and July have driven the two adversaries further into conflict, raising the specter of a full-scale war. Hezbollah has greater manpower, weapons and funding available to it than Hamas has — or any of Iran’s other terror proxy groups — making it a more dangerous threat to Israel and the broader stability of the Middle East region, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Long War Journal.
