Most Americans were glad that Donald Trump dodged a bullet at the fateful rally in Pennsylvania. But not everyone was pleased that 20-year-old assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was such a bad shot. Until now, many assumed that only a few bad apples wanted the Republican candidate to take a round to the head. Not so, says alarming new research from a UK-based academic. Eric Kaufmann says a shocking third of Democratic voters wished Trump had left his July 13 campaign event in a body bag. Among progressives, the figure is much higher, says the University of Buckingham politics scholar. A...

Now they admit there is a crisis, but it’s somehow it’s actually Trump’s fault.There is no limit to their lies and...

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) will be supporting Vice President Harris in November after previously saying he would back President Biden. Duncan endorsed Harris in an interview on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” podcast that aired Wednesday. He has been a staunch critic of former President Trump and revealed in May that he would be supporting Biden instead of the former president for the White House. He was asked on the podcast whether he has or will be endorsing Harris. He said after Biden’s poor showing at the debate last month, he thought the Democratic Party would do...

Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation in the House Chamber today was by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States. Many of us who love Israel spent time today listening to Israeli citizens whose families have suffered in the wake of the October 7th Hamas terror attack and kidnappings. These families are asking for a ceasefire deal that will bring the hostages home – and we hope the Prime Minister would spend his time achieving that goal.

“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday. Joe Biden was forced to leave the presidential race after high-level Democrats threatened him with the 25th Amendment. Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post. The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, according to...

A National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) document contends that having Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee spells doom for down-ballot Democrats due to her “extreme agenda” and poor campaigning skills. Jason Thielman, the executive director of the NRSC, wrote a memo on Monday, detailing how Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee creates a “strong down-ballot opportunity” for Republicans. “The case against Joe Biden relied in part on the fact that he was mentally unfit to hold office, which was difficult to translate down-ballot. Kamala Harris owns the Biden Administration’s baggage and is an avowed radical,” Thielman explained in the...

Democrats have made political assassination look like some twisted form of civil ‘justice.’ I monitor a lot of lefty chat rooms to see how the Marxist Borg is processing new information. Wading through a sewer of fractured psyches is borderline torture, but it’s helpful to watch the commie hive mind in action. The hogwash that self-described “smart people” claim to believe would make you cry for the sorry state of public education. After the assassination attempt on President Trump, I tiptoed back over to Club Xanax to see how that hellscape was holding up. By far, the great majority of...

Democrats and left-wing commentators have been at all serious in what they say about Trump, then they really should not even be expressing relief about Trump’s safety and recovery, as most of them have done. How can they be happy that orange Hitler — a literal “threat to our democracy” who they claim will cancel the 2028 election if he is allowed to resume the presidency — is doing well and will soon be back on his glide-path toward the total destruction of our country?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans fear their country is spiraling out of control following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, with worries growing that the Nov. 5 election could spark more political violence, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Tuesday found. The two-day poll found Republican presidential candidate Trump opening a marginal lead among registered voters - 43% to 41% - over Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden, an advantage that was within the poll's 3 percentage point margin of error, suggesting the attempt on Trump's life had not sparked a major shift in voter sentiment. But 80% of voters - including...

From the little man on the wedding cake to Donald Trump. On Saturday evening, we saw where the left’s overheated rhetoric leads.Leftists have called Trump a traitor, an insurrectionist, a dictator, and much more. Above all, they have repeatedly likened him to the man whose name has become synonymous with evil, Adolf Hitler. Is it any wonder, in light of the way the left has portrayed Trump since 2015, that someone tried to kill him?Trump, however, is by no means the left’s first Hitler, and likely won’t be the last. You probably remember “Bushitler,” but this reprehensible and incendiary tactic...

The argument that Trump posed a Hitler-level threat to American democracy can be traced back to the first outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome among left-leaning journalists in 2016. What made the argument so malignant was that it justified using all means possible to disrupt Trump’s presidency and to prevent his re-election. Hillary Clinton formally conceded her loss to Trump in 2016. But the Democratic Party inwardly denied the legitimacy of his victory. What followed that concession speech was a sustained campaign of scheming to undermine the 45th President. There were calls to change the electoral system on the grounds that...

MILWAUKEE — In the hours after a would-be assassin fired a bullet through former President Donald Trump’s ear, Panfilo DiCenzo, a 40-year-old Democratic voter from Pittsburgh, drew a simple conclusion about the political effect of the attack: “It definitely is good for Trump.” At a time when President Joe Biden has been struggling to shore up support with fellow Democrats following a miserable June debate performance and shaky cleanup effort, some professional Democratic political operatives said Saturday’s shooting will end up sealing the incumbent’s electoral fate. “We’re so beyond f---ed,” one longtime Democratic insider said, noting that the image of...

The top political adviser to Democratic mega-donor Reid Hoffman suggested that the attack on Donald Trump could have been “staged,” even as Hoffman was criticized for joking before Saturday’s attack about Trump becoming a “martyr.” Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, whose net worth is reportedly $2.5 billion, joked at last week’s billionaire confab in Sun Valley that he wished he had made Trump “an actual martyr.” Sunday, he said on X that he was referring to “accountability to the rule of law” and that he’s “horrified and saddened” by the attack. The scale of Hoffman’s political donations isn’t public but...

A top Democratic strategist to LinkedIn co-founder and Democratic tycoon Reid Hoffman floated the possibility the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump may have been a false-flag operation, according to an email to journalists obtained by Semafor. Dmitri Mehlhorn said in the Saturday evening email that one possibility for the attack—“which feels horrific and alien and absurd in America, but is quite common globally”—is that it was both encouraged and potentially staged by Trump to secure a political advantage. Mehlhorn acknowledged the other possibility that “some crazy anti-Trumper in this chaotic moment decided to assassinate the former President.” Law...

While most politicians were quick to put out statements decrying the violence at Saturday’s rally where former president Donald Trump was shot, some Republicans, including potential Donald Trump vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance and far-right Trump-supporting firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, called out Democratic rhetoric in the aftermath. “Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote on X. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” “Democrats wanted this to happen,” Greene posted on...

Following massive online criticism, Fort Liberty has walked back a slide in an anti-terrorism presentation that claims pro-life Americans are terrorists. As LifeNews.com reported, Journalist Sam Shoemate exposed the terrorism briefing on X (Twitter) that was held at Fort Liberty (Bragg) yesterday where they listed several Pro-Life organizations as “terrorist organizations.” The military facility has since walked back the slide with a post on X (Twitter). “After conducting a commander’s inquiry, we determined that the slides presented on social media were not vetted by the appropriate approval authorities, and do not reflect the views of the XVIII Airborne Corps and...

Voter identification rules are just like Civil War racist exclusion laws, according to Democrats who denounced and voted against the GOP’s SAVE Act bill on the House floor.“This is the 2024 version of the Jim Crow poll tax and we should vote against it,” claimed Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) as she denounced the bill, which requires people to prove their citizenship before casting a vote for Democrats or Republicans.In the 1800s until the 1960s, many people were denied the vote when they did not pay the flat “poll tax” on individuals living in a jurisdiction. But McClellan is determined to...

Business mogul Elon Musk has warned that Democrats are planning to steal more federal elections by allowing people who are not U.S. citizens to vote.

A closer look at the Voter Participation Center reveals how it uses harvested voter data to enhance Democrats’ election machine.In an era of U.S. elections where ballots — not voters — are the favored currency, nonprofit voter registration has become instrumental in determining which candidate comes out on top at the ballot box.While conservatives have largely failed to recognize the necessity of such operations in driving Republican voter turnout, leftists haven’t. Unlike their opponents, Democrats have amassed a well-funded machine that’s accumulated their party massive electoral wins in recent cycles, even as the head of their party remains widely unpopular...
