Shortly after Donald Trump was inaugurated after the 2016 election, a so-called comedienne posted a picture of herself holding Trump’s severed, bloodied head. That apparently passes for comedy among Democrats.
In a presentation of Julius Caesar in the venerable Shakespeare in the Park production in New York City a few months later, a likeness of Trump was cast in the role of Caesar. I don’t need to remind you what happens to Caesar in the end.
The violent rhetoric from Democrats just keeps on coming, through Trump’s first term, into this year’s re-election campaign, and right up to weeks before the election. And now, it’s predictably escalating from violent rhetoric and into violent acts.
A month ago, a would-be assassin missed Trump’s cranium by a quarter-inch with a bullet from an AR-15, only because Trump luckily turned at the last possible second. It came out that the Trump campaign had requested beefed-up security prior to the incident, and the White House had denied his request.
The Secret Service at the time was headed by a DEI hire, and the agents at the event were test-failing amateurs. They allowed the shooter within 130 yards of Trump on an unsecured rooftop. Even after they saw him there, with a gun, they failed to take him out and failed to alert Trump or his staff until he’d fired eight shots, killing one man, seriously wounding another, and grazing Trump’s ear.
In an apparent admission of near-lethal negligence by the Service, five agents were later suspended.
Their replacements seem not much better. In yesterday’s attempt, a Democrat donor got within easy range of Trump on a golf course with a rifle equipped with a high-powered scope. The shooter was wearing a Go-Pro, apparently to post his assassination on YouTube where Democrats everywhere could cheer it. He was thwarted only because he was foolish enough to poke his rifle out of the bushes, where an agent happened to see it.
The shooter had been on the golf course for at least 12 hours. One must wonder, how did he know Trump’s golfing schedule at least 12 hours in advance?
Even now, after two assassination attempts that missed due only to incredible luck or Providence, President Trump is not afforded the level of protection that President Biden or even Vice President Harris receives.
Most recently, President Doofus again falsely accused Trump of saying that neo-Nazis are “fine people” even though that accusation has been thoroughly debunked even by leftist fact-checkers.
Kamala Harris repeated the lie in her debate with Trump – and was not corrected by the moderators even though the moderators purported to correct at least seven Trump statements (some of which were not factual claims, but mere opinions).
You might think the mainstream media would condemn these assassination attempts in the strongest words possible. But if you do think that, then you haven’t been paying attention to the mainstream media for the last ten years.
The mainstream media is implying – no, they’re outright stating – that Trump has all this coming because he’s a Republican who says nasty things. The Washington Post has already dismissed the assassination attempt and has framed it instead as Trump unfairly capitalizing on the incident politically.
The media take their cue from Biden and Harris. They routinely equate Trump with Adolf Hitler, the mass murderer of millions.
The Democrats let their rank and file connect the dots: Everyone has been taught, correctly, that killing Hitler would have been a heroic act that would have saved millions. So, the Democrats don’t exactly say “kill Trump” but they do suggest you’d be a hero if you did.

I would say both and possibly more.
America has a lot of spoiled adult children and trump represents daddy. Orangemanbad, daddy said noooo….waaaah.
I am in the middle of reading Erik Larson’s latest historical novel “The Demon of Unrest” about the U.S. Civil War. It’s a snapshot from a relatively short time period of time, about five or six months from when Lincoln was elected in 1860 to the Confederate attack on U.S. Fort Sumter in Charleston some months later.
Honest to God … it doesn’t seem like the Democrats have changed much in past 160+ years!
Larson writes how the Southern gentry saw themselves as above everyone else, as an almost American nobility entitled to privilege, power and their sense of superiority over everyone else.
It sounds a lot like so many of the over-educated elitists that we have now who look down on the rest of America, red states, flyover country, working class, patriots, Christians, practicing Jews, Veterans, cops, plumbers, etc.
I think the main difference is that the Democrats of today have just flipped the script with a tweak … instead of holding down and abusing blacks like they did throughout the 19th century and much of the 20th century, they are now just doing the same thing to white Americans, and anyone else who doesn’t buy their latest racialist snake oil.
Oh … Larson tells the story of how the Pinkerton detectives and the then U.S. General of the Army convinced Lincoln to avoid Baltimore Maryland during his train trip to Washington City (now D.C.) due to real and credible assassination threats against the then Republican President-Elect.
Baltimore Maryland then, like now, was overwhelming controlled by Democrats and was a hotbed of secession, hatred and angst.
They say that history has a tendency to repeat itself. Maybe not exactly on the nose, but there are some eerie similarities between then and now.
I think this guy had a salient point …

G’day.
A good piece Glenn. It was only a matter of time before DEI hiring resulted in some real danger to people. (Medical schools, airline pilots, anyone?) I remember the Julius Caesar play here in NYC, funded by American Express. As a cardholder I wrote a letter protesting and threatening to cancel my card. I received a phone call from some dumb PR lady, but all it did was dissolve into one of those “you are funding this garbage.” No we are not.” arguments and I hung up. PS Did you know that there actually was a plot to kill hitler via sniper? It could have worked, too. But in the end, the allies thought Hitler was such a bad strategist, they would win the war quicker with him alive! ha! https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/operation-foxley-britains-plan-kill-hitler.html
I saw a young woman blithely tell an independent journalist that she wished the bullet had hit Trump. (The last attempt.) The journalist asked her how she felt about wishing death on another person. She was astonished and said that she was a loving, caring person who wouldn’t wish death on anybody. Except Trump.
The brainwashing really did succeed with these types. Happily, I’ve seen many videos of people who have realized what’s going on, and are fully aware of the evil of the left. I believe we’ll get beyond this.
The media needs to be locked up for life.
The democrats are now trying to harm attendees at Trump rallys.
These ingrates need to meet a sturdy oak branch.
