Like you, I am feeling a mix of anger, sadness, and shock at what happened to Donald Trump last night. And the Left's reaction to the assassination attempt will only exacerbate those emotions.
Sarah Palin puts out an ad with bullseye targets over congressional districts in AZ. Then Giffords is shot and Sarah (and Republicans) are immediately blamed.
Joe Biden says to supporters that they need to "put Trump in a bullseye." Trump is shot (and a bystander murdered, w/ two wounded), and crickets from the media about Joe's recent demand.
I think the hypocrisy is just one more element that adds to the pain and fury.
If Trump was president--with a recent record of making false, inflammatory remarks about Biden as a candidate--the calls for his resignation or at least step down for re-election would be widespread, even among Republicans. No such thing here.
Julie, as you fully realize, this magnificent experiment is in the midst of an existential struggle between good and evil. At this point, there is no reason to expect Obama and the rest of the evil actors to have an epiphany and give up their relentless pursuit of tyranny through a one-party system.
The reason the stores were all boarded up in DC just before the 2020 election was in case Trump won. They knew that the Left would riot just as they did in 2016. When Biden won the plywood came down. The folks at Georgetown Law are already preparing lawsuits to destroy the next Trump presidency. The ONLY way this can be ended is with a DECISIVE electoral victory. This is no time for bystanders.
Such a horrible, and yet predictable, event given the media’s increasingly desperate Trump-is-Hitler narrative. I am not American, I cannot vote for Trump (in the UK), and yet I feel such anger towards the dems who have stoked this irrational demonisation. Your country, my country, THE WORLD is in desperate need of a Trump presidency, I cannot see where the West goes if we lose him. My love and respect for this legend has never been greater. God bless Donald Trump.
I was particularly outraged by Biden's comments last week claiming world leaders have expressed fear over a second Trump presidency. If true, Trump should find out who said this if he's elected again. And even if true, the only reason why is because Trump will end their money laundering operations in Ukraine and elsewhere.
Will those people claiming this was staged, including some celebrities I’ve seen posting this ridiculous assertion, be sued for everything they own, like Alex Jones was sued?
Julie, around 2022 I had to stop following you because I thought you were too histrionic and couldn’t take what I considered catastrophising at the time. I am now a subscriber. Everything you forecast has come to pass. I don’t disagree with your assessment of the “take the volume down rhetoric ” being short lived. My daughter, who is my best friend in many respects but is also a pride flag wearing liberal, barely blinked an eye when I told her about the assassination attempt. This is a person who brought a baby squirrel she found on the sidewalk home to try to save him. The propaganda on the left is nuclear in its level of toxicity.
This could be my most valued comment. Thank you. And to your point--isn't the double standard just remarkable? I am sorry because I can only imagine the strife this causes between you and your daughter/best friend. Hopefully she will someday recognize the danger created by the Left. God bless and thank you for your support!
Thanks for your input Julie. Can’t wait to hear more from you about this as you investigate the appointed investigators who have been tasked with this case. Don’t take your eyes off of them. For some reason, I don’t feel that under M. Garland, we will get the truth. But, I know we will get it from you.
I saw that photo of a bloody Donald Trump , thought of Joe Biden staring blankly in to space, and said "He Just Won!" Barring a Massive Screwup, this race is OVER.
And Every Republican running for Senate/House is gong to want a picture of them standing Next To Donald Trump. So They Win Too.
Kimberly Cheatle, the PepsiCo employee who Biden appointed to the Secret Service as Director, has massively failed. Besides many other failures of her due to unqualifications, there was substantial evidence present for weeks, that warranted more assets and resources to Trump Protection Details. She adamantly refused according to their members. She is playing politics. It not only is dangerous to Trump and family, but to each and every other agent on the teams.
Trump like Biden are Presidents past or present that deserve, and warrant more. Like Biden, Trump requires, not deserves, but requires a full Package of Protection in assets and resources. He does not have it currently. And I am wagering that's why the shooter was missed. Lack of team and resources. MS Cheatle is responsible.
Further it is alleged she was Dick Cheney protection team member and evacuated him during the 9/11 situation. Imagine that. She later was embedded into Biden during his term as VP under Obama. She is totally compromised and embedded to Biden
Totally unqualified for the job. She is a DEI hire. Why don’t they have someone like a long time navy seal or special ops person who really understands these situations running this department. The more I hear about her, it sounds like she should be charged with negligence and should lose her job immediately! Of course with Garland’s DOJ and Uber partisanship, she will probably be promoted!!!
In addition, Trump is facing accusations of being HITLER, planning to be a Dictator, destroying our democracy, in the bullseye, a felon, and worth assassination. How many people had the Leftist media influenced?Is there a John Hinckley out there? What about the 20 year old who attempted an assassination on Saturday? He has probably been listening to the left’s bullcrap since he was 12, all his formative years. Like many, many youth, who will play their part in destroying America, unable to recognize who are its saviors, and who are intent on destroying her. 🇺🇸
I agree wholeheartedly with your piece this morning, Julie. Regrettably, this awful occurrence didn't surprise either me or my wife. This attempted assassination of former (and future, I'm hopeful) President Trump was the inevitable near-conclusion of the vitriol spewed by the Marxists toward him for the previous 8 years. As the late, lamented Mahah Rushie used to say, and I'll paraphrase the legend, Conservatives believe that the radical Marxist Lefties are wrong, but the radical Marxist Lefties are certain that Conservatives are evil. And, if Conservatives are, indeed, evil, then it's nearly axiomatic that they must be eliminated, especially if they can be portrayed as the embodiment of A. Hitler. As we know, the only way the radical Marxist Lefties can maintain power is to demonize the opposition because it is impossible for them to defend their destructive policies. So, yesterday was damned near expected...and the radical Marxist Lefties are despicable humans, which they demonstrate daily.
The inevitability of what happened yesterday may be the most infuriating aspect of it all. Do you think Democrats believe--publicly or privately--that someone would attempt to take Joe Biden's life? No. The fact we even think this way is a full throated indictment of the media, the Biden regime, the Democratic Party, and many Republicans
It's difficult to gauge what the Marxist-Activist-Jouranalists-Propagandists think or believe because they live in a parallel universe; but I'll take a shot answering your question. The near-Totalitarianism in which we have lived and/or endured for the previous 3.5 years indicates to me that they might have convinced themselves that the "MAGA extremists" have already devised a plan to take our M. Hussein Osama, and his sock puppet, without any evidence to support their personal dementia. I also appreciate that you included the spineless Inside-the-Beltway-Establishment-Statists-RINO's because you and I know that they're nothing but a bunch of attack Yorkies. Therefore, all Comer will do is huff and puff when he actually gets some response from the inept Secret Service director. Then it will all blow over until the next attempt.
State Media reverts to the "everybody does it" excuse, mentioning that Trump calls his opponents communists and fascists.
Trump never jailed his political opponents when he was in office. Or put on the kind of one-sided show trials we saw with the Jan 6 committee, which not only was clearly a partisan affair delving only into facts that suited its narrative, but itself destroyed a lot of the evidence it collected. State Media, aka MSM, has become a joke, flat-out announcing to the world it doesn't owe it to Trump - or its viewers - to be fair in its reporting.
The media can always offer tendentious reasoning and half-truths to show the other party does it. What they're doing is following one of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals- accuse your opponent of what you are doing.
It’s unfortunate that the people we vote for don’t give us any help. I am still waiting for Speaker Mike Johnson to follow through on his promise to release January 6 videos.
My Americanism wants to stand all damocrats against a wall and systematically remove them from the nation. My Christian-ism guides me to patience and compassion. Mr. Trump is the epitomy of courage under pressure. We should all be grateful he made it through. Hopefully his guards will expand their permitter and Mr. Trump will start using those bullet proof shields.
Does anyone expect the FBI to do a thorough unbiased investigation, I have my doubts, I do not trust any of the politicized corrupt agencies to do their job. Will all the text messages e mails suddenly be deleted like the J6 messages? Even the SS appears to have failed. The next several weeks will be interesting. I pray for the truth,and the safety of President Trump. I am so saddened by the loss of a life and the two who were injured, prayers for them and their families
“Does anyone expect the FBI to do a thorough unbiased investigation”
They’ll just say what they always say when asked a question they don’t want to answer which is that it’s an on going investigation so they can’t comment on it. That’s what they always say when asked how many FBI agents were among the protestors at the Jan 6 Capitol rally 3.5 years ago. That’s always under investigation while at the same time they’re also always searching for people who were at the rally so they so they can put them in prison. The FBI is a corrupt and rotting farce.
And for all of the little school girls who fell in love with him and became democrats, now in their 80's, do they not see what they're supporting?
I love professional wrestling and I love the Trump that really gins up the crowd. No one want to go shoot anyone they laugh as he tweeks the media.
The more sedate Trump to get suburban women voters is like Ric Flair stylin' and profilin' with a Timex watch, a pair of Men's Keds, and a suit from the men's warehouse.
If Trump is braggadocious-so what. If that turns the suburban women off-do they have children? Do they see how the illegals are coming in through an opened border killing, and raping women and kids?
What is better a president that kept us out of any wars for four years and brags-or an old feeble man who is unable to stand trial and only works from 10 AM to 4 PM?
They may come after me for saying this but it is what it is...We already know what happened the head of secret service knew about this person on the roof and wouldn't surprise me if it was a plant
I'm so thankful the Lord protected Donald J.Trump. Praying for him, his family, the families of the person killed and those injured...and our country. I've feared this would happen. Crazy times. And you're right Julie, it will only get worse. I thought of you yesterday finally enjoying some tennis and then this happened. Keep the faith.
“I'm so thankful the Lord protected Donald J.Trump.”
It is pretty amazing how close he came to being killed. An AR-15. .223 bullet is light, very fast and designed to tumble when it hits dense flesh like muscle or organs or bone so that it will tear apart flesh or bone and do maximum damage. Had it just touched his skull instead his ear which it just penetrated it could have easily triggered the tumbling effect which would have killed him.
I’ve shot coyotes that were killing our sheep and goats with an AR 15. The tissue damage was hideous. A person who hasn’t seen it can’t really understand it.
Kyle Rittenhouse used his AR-15 to kill two of the thugs who attacked him during the Kenosha riots in 2020. The third thug who attacked was shot in the arm and ran off. I was wondering what kind of damage that bullet did to his arm. I spent 4 years in the Marines so I know how deadly it is. Then I happened to read an article about the incident which quoted him as saying the bullet had ripped off 90% of his bicep and he’s in constant pain.
I once saw video of the shooting during the trial and they stopped the video right when the bullet hit his arm and you could just see the explosion of blood mixed with flesh off that arm. He’s lucky he didn’t lose it but he’ll always be disabled. The guy killed at the Trump rally who’d been shot in the head probably had half his head blown off. I think he was there with his wife and daughter. Must have been ghastly for them to have seen that.
Being in London, you had better news coverage than we did. One of the London papers had the first detailed information out there. The interview with the red headed fellow, put us citizens ahead of the govt. propaganda and limited their ability to "control" the narrative.
Sarah Palin puts out an ad with bullseye targets over congressional districts in AZ. Then Giffords is shot and Sarah (and Republicans) are immediately blamed.
Joe Biden says to supporters that they need to "put Trump in a bullseye." Trump is shot (and a bystander murdered, w/ two wounded), and crickets from the media about Joe's recent demand.
That tells you all you need to know.
I think the hypocrisy is just one more element that adds to the pain and fury.
If Trump was president--with a recent record of making false, inflammatory remarks about Biden as a candidate--the calls for his resignation or at least step down for re-election would be widespread, even among Republicans. No such thing here.
Julie, as you fully realize, this magnificent experiment is in the midst of an existential struggle between good and evil. At this point, there is no reason to expect Obama and the rest of the evil actors to have an epiphany and give up their relentless pursuit of tyranny through a one-party system.
The reason the stores were all boarded up in DC just before the 2020 election was in case Trump won. They knew that the Left would riot just as they did in 2016. When Biden won the plywood came down. The folks at Georgetown Law are already preparing lawsuits to destroy the next Trump presidency. The ONLY way this can be ended is with a DECISIVE electoral victory. This is no time for bystanders.
TOO BIG TO RIG!!!
It's the only way-with ten PLUS million illegals who will be able to vote in New York, California, Illinois, etc.
Such a horrible, and yet predictable, event given the media’s increasingly desperate Trump-is-Hitler narrative. I am not American, I cannot vote for Trump (in the UK), and yet I feel such anger towards the dems who have stoked this irrational demonisation. Your country, my country, THE WORLD is in desperate need of a Trump presidency, I cannot see where the West goes if we lose him. My love and respect for this legend has never been greater. God bless Donald Trump.

If true, Trump should find out who said this if he's elected again. And even if true, the only reason why is because Trump will end their money laundering operations in Ukraine and elsewhere.
I love it that Trump is thick-skinned.
All things are now global and interconnected in our always online global civilization.
Yes, he is the man for this time, and his presidency will reach throughout the West.
Will those people claiming this was staged, including some celebrities I’ve seen posting this ridiculous assertion, be sued for everything they own, like Alex Jones was sued?
Doubtful.
Julie, around 2022 I had to stop following you because I thought you were too histrionic and couldn’t take what I considered catastrophising at the time. I am now a subscriber. Everything you forecast has come to pass. I don’t disagree with your assessment of the “take the volume down rhetoric ” being short lived. My daughter, who is my best friend in many respects but is also a pride flag wearing liberal, barely blinked an eye when I told her about the assassination attempt.

You are amazing and very kind. Keep doing what you're doing! You are making a huge impact.
May the mighty hand of ALMIGHTY GOD bring justice.
In Jesus name We the People pray.
Thanks for your input Julie. Can’t wait to hear more from you about this as you investigate the appointed investigators who have been tasked with this case. Don’t take your eyes off of them. For some reason, I don’t feel that under M. Garland, we will get the truth. But, I know we will get it from you.
We are supposed to trust Merrick Garland and Chris Wray? And even Mayorkas, head of DHS?
This is what happens when government institutions burn their credibility. And it has real world consequences
My thoughts exactly. What kind of investigation will these problems receive? I trust James Comer, but the FBI? That will take years. DHS? Seriously?
I saw that photo of a bloody Donald Trump , thought of Joe Biden staring blankly in to space, and said "He Just Won!" Barring a Massive Screwup, this race is OVER.
And Every Republican running for Senate/House is gong to want a picture of them standing Next To Donald Trump. So They Win Too.
"A dust storm hit, an' it hit like thunder
It dusted us over, an' it covered us under
Blocked out the traffic an' blocked out the sun
Straight for home all the people did run, singin'
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
I've got to be driftin' along
Yes, thanks for the Woody Guthrie memory…can only imagine how he would put this event to song.
He basically being a Communist, he'd probably be said the shooter missed.
Perhaps, but these days it’s hard to know. The old “left” from Woody’s days seem more like today’s “right”
Want to place a small wager on that?
May I Recommend
"The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression"
by Amity Shlaes
I think he was as much a populist as Communist, if not more. I'm not certain, but I don't believe he was a card-carrying member.
1. Communists ALWAYS portray themselves as "For The People" Eve hear the phrase "The People United Will Never Be Defeated"?
2. Just because he wasn't a dues paying member doesn't mean he wasn't one.
3. in the 1920's-30's Communism (and Fascism) were very hip, very popular.
All of the old folk singer of the 40s, 50s and 60s were socialists...most anyway

I will keep pushing for a full investigation not just into this assassination attempt but her other failures including the missing texts of Jan 6.
Further it is alleged she was Dick Cheney protection team member and evacuated him during the 9/11 situation. Imagine that. She later was embedded into Biden during his term as VP under Obama. She is totally compromised and embedded to Biden

Don’t fret- Cheatle is being called before a Congressional committee. That should take care of it. Any sternly worded letters on the horizon?

Only one side is trying to jail the GOP presidential opponent, his associates and his voters.
Julie, much thanks for your comment.

I agree 100%. A weaponized government, I’ve said it for a long time, the democrats will do anything to remain in power, even the unspeakable
Agree.
