Snitz take. Kass is falling victim to the false logic that afflicts many Americans. Ergo pinning one's rightful outrage on a fallen icon.
#1 Kass refers to the Trump's recent would-be assassins as members of the hardcore left. I'd simply call them nutballs.
While it's true that Harris is a left-leaning socialist with dangerous policies, and the media/Dems have played unfairly that doesn't mean Trump isn't becoming the victim of old age. I figure he's a few years away from shuffling like Joe. Plus his recent trade war policy is equally dangerous. Herbert Hoover found that out the hard way while triggering a depression.
I hate to say this but the best outcome we can hope for is a divided White House/Congress where gridlock protects the American public from these two presidential aspirants. I don't care much who wins, so long as Congress isn't the same party.
Deep State Democrats and the Continuing Attempts to Kill President Trump
By John Kass
September 18, 2024
Let me get this straight. Sunday was the second time in just weeks that hardcore political leftist Democrats have tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump. It is obvious that they want him dead. They’ve wanted him dead for a long time.
The question you must ask yourselves now is this: Why?
Shrugging it away as simple political hatred, rage and revenge is just not good enough. There’s more here. You know this. There’s more at stake than a simple why and bruised feelings. Dig deeper, think deeper than that. America needs and expects more of you now.
You don’t need to be an expert in the cynicism of Chicago politics to know there’s more. You’re not an oblivious child reaching for presents.
What triggers the left-wing media? Outrage and their ego.
They’re outraged by sarcastic memes about illegal migrants eating cats and geese. They’re upset at those memes from “unsubstantiated” political remarks that mock the Democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden for overwhelming a small town in Ohio. What is “substantiated” is that Biden and Harris have sent an unwanted 20,000 or so impoverished migrants from violent Haiti to Springfield, OH. Yes, this an outrage! The Democrats will not be ridiculed, especially not with memes.
But a president murdered before an election? That doesn’t stoke media’s indignation.
“Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself,” said NBC’s Lester Holt. “Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance, continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in [Springfield] Ohio.”
And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who kicked off the Democrat’s phony “Russia Russia Collusion” investigation to cripple Trump’s presidency in 2016 after he defeated her, also blamed the victim hours after Trump was almost killed a second time. Democrats are constantly on the lookout against victim blaming or shaming, unless the victim is Republican. Clinton argued the most important thing is that the news media is not doing enough to portray Trump as a threat to democracy.
“The object in this case is Donald Trump,” Clinton told left wing media mouthpiece Rachel Maddow. “His demagoguery. His danger to our country and the world.”
Then Hillary went on to express the need for the government to crack down on what she considers to be offensive political speech.
Then the wife of a former failed impeachment witness against Trump–a pro-Ukrainian Democrat–also mocked Trump and had great fun on X, formerly Twitter.
“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” Rachel Vindman, the wife of Alexander Vindman posted on X. No ears were harmed?
It was repulsive, yes but also revealing about just how far those Democrats who fear and hate Trump and his supporters will go. You might ask yourselves a common-sense question:
Former President Barrack Obama has big ears. If, God-forbid, a crazed unhinged Republican tried to blow off Obama’s head with a sniper bullet on national television and clipped the ear, would Vindman’s sarcasm be tolerated?
If there was a second failed attempt would media blame Obama for pushing left wing policy that most of the country detests? Would they blame Obama and say it’s his fault for provoking the assassin? And would they mock his big ears?
They wouldn’t dare. They’d be rounded up by the mob, and consider themselves lucky if they were only tarred and feathered. Any news program harboring people with such hateful ani-Obama views would be cancelled. And all advertisers sponsoring those programs would immediately denounce those hateful views.
After the second assassination attempt in Florida, network television continued broadcasting the football games from the NFL. Would that have happened had Obama been twice targeted? Or Kamala Harris? Or Clinton herself?
No.
The networks would have gone wall-to-wall with news. The games would wait. But on Sunday the football games could not wait.
A few years ago in the so-called “summer or love,” the American people watched in horror as the hard left orchestrated hundreds of riots that burned the cities down in an insurrection against Trump, and they watched as the anti-Trump media pronounced those riots to be “mostly peaceful.”
Trump was almost assassinated July 13 at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pa. Trump was wounded by a sniper but another man, a Pennsylvania father, Corey Competore was killed by the sniper as Competore tried to shield his wife and children. Trump was hit in the ear. His head was almost blown up on national television. The sniper Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot and killed after he had almost murdered Trump. Crooks’ body was almost immediately cremated and the feds still can’t tell us a motive. They’re obfuscating and covering up. I don’t like to write that but they leave me little choice.
And then just a few days ago, a second attempt to kill Trump.
You’ve heard about the second assassin, pro-Ukrainian roofing contractor from Hawaii and North Carolina Ryan Wesley Rouse? He is alleged to have stalked Trump at the Trump International golf course in Florida with a scope equipped AK-47, and a go-pro video camera with which to broadcast the assassination. He doesn’t know Florida. And Trump’s Sunday golf match was unannounced. So how did Rouse know to stake out the 6th hole on Saturday night, and wait 12 hours?
Is there a mole in the Secret Service or above?
Rouse, who tried to recruit mercenaries including Iranians to fight in Ukraine against Russians. And he’d talk about his desire to kill Trump and other world leaders. He waited 12 hours overnight near the 6th hole. He even had snacks. A shot with that rifle at close range WITH A SCOPE would have been easy, like a three-inch putt. A U.S. Secret Service agent who noticed a rifle barrel apparently fired his hand gun and Rouse ran off and tried to drive away. He is now in custody and has been charged.
Media cheerleaders–including some on Fox News–applauded the bravery of the lone Secret Service agent. That’s good. He or she deserves our applause and a nation’s thanks. But for an armed assassin to get so close is a complete and absolute failure of the Secret Service. The top brass of the U.S. Secret service won’t get applause from me. Not after this, not after failing twice in a matter of a few weeks. Once again the feds have dropped the ball. We can’t afford to indulge them. The future of our nation is at stake.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the weasel Democrat political hack who runs the U.S. Department of Homeland Security–the federal agency that oversees the Secret Service has no answers. He is ostensibly in “control” of the border, the same porous border that had Kamala Harris as “border czar,” and he lied to us for years, saying the border was secure as at least 15 million illegals (many of them criminals) crossed over and began accepting federal taxpayer supported handouts.
For Americans over the next 50 days, we will hold our breath, because it is clear there is so much hate directed at President Trump that it seems only a matter of time until they get him. What they want is his silence and he won’t give it to them. He won’t bend the knee. He won’t kiss their hand and seek mercy.
“These serial assassination attempts unfortunately, occur in a weary context of Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, state ballot removal and lawfare,” writes our great historian Victor Davis Hanson. “And they are starting to reflect a larger environment of justifying extra-legal means to achieve the ends of ending Trump’s presidency and later reelection by any means means necessary.”
By any means necessary.
For the last nine years or so, Deep State Democrats and their corporate media lickspittles from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to those at NBC and MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and the New York Times, The Washington Post, and have argued that Trump is a danger to democracy. That he’s some Hitler. Or a Stalin. He’s an “existential threat,” says Joe Biden. The Republican never-Trumpers want a bullet in him. So do the others, as CNN and the rest of them blame Trump.
“He’s a danger to our security,” whispers Joe Biden, invitingly to all the deranged out there addicted to left wing media hate.
What happens when a political party and journalists portray a man as a dangerous threat, a Hitler, a Stalin? That is begging someone to kill him. Perhaps they will.
So is all this about the Deep State’s animus toward Donald Trump?
No.
It’s about the Deep State and control. If you haven’t read the essays by my brother Nicholas Kass on the Deep State–in the American Conservative and American Greatness–you should read them before it’s too late.
The American Deep State has been test marketing what they want to to Trump and the rest of us for years.
Our desire for American liberty and freedom was test-marketed when Americans embraced the Patriot Act; when people were celebrated for saying they really didn’t mind if the “intelligence community searched their cell phones without warrants, when Americans were encouraged to say they had nothing to hide; when James Clapper, Obama’s director of national intelligence, lied to Congress saying the Obama administration did “not wittingly” collect telephone records of Americans; when the Biden Justice Department began taking notes on American parents concerned with what their children were learning at school and were listed as potential “domestic terrorists.”
And when Biden’s feds sought to enter Roman Catholic churches and keep an eye on pro-life Catholics, and voters appeared to shrug that off, it was test marketed. And through it all the media doesn’t hold Harris accountable as early voting in the Battleground states has already begun. The BLM riots to glorify a narcotics addict named George Floyd, elevated to secular sainthood as the Democrats weakened law and order? These riots were pronounced to be “mostly peaceful” by leftist broadcast media outlets CNN and MSNBC. Again, the Deep State learned how far it could go.
There are so many examples of this, it boggles the mind. It could fill a book. It all comes at us in strident wave after strident wave, carried by the shrill bullhorn of the Deep State’s Democrat Media Complex. They’ll steal Trump’s ideas and make them their own. They’ll make him as toxic as possible. It’s not that they care about America. They don’t. They care about it only if the can control it.
Trump is no Orange Jesus. I’ve never believed in politicians that way. They are not saviors, neither “reform mayors” or Chicago aldermen are saviors. Senators with press agents writing books about them are not saviors. Instead, I believe in God and in the power of the Constitution of the United States, in a nation that reveres free speech and would never move to crush an idea that threatened the state.
We saw what happened when the Democrats created a plaster messiah out of Obama, and there and yet there are enough flaws in and around Trump to fill many volumes. But then I hear Harris’s word salads defending her indefensible positions, I consider Trump. With Harris I don’t see much of a choice. It’s obvious to me that Kamala Harris and her fool of a running mate will give free speech up to be crushed. They’ll do exactly what they’ve falsely accused Trump of doing by their juvenile projections that fool no one who has read history and studied politics.
Trump wasn’t the authoritarian. That’s all projection of the hard left. Free speech is what offends today’s Democrats. It didn’t used to offend them. Now it does and what they find offensive–meaning anything or anyone with whom they disagree will be branded misinformation and throttled and left for dead by the roadside as they march on. This is the hard left, and they have not changed since the days when the Mensheviks were devoured by the Bolsheviks.
What does the Deep State want? What they’ve always wanted, what they wanted in Orwell’s novel “1984.” But this is no novel, this is your life and your nation’s life. Now, in 2024, the Deep State wants silence and acquiescence from Trump. They want to control the troublesome thoughts of troublesome people. And they’re already trying to kill him. He will not kneel. Don’t be surprised if there is chaos at the polling places, particularly in battle ground states . They’ll do what they have to do to get what they want. As I’ve said, they’ve done a great deal of test marketing to see how far they can take it.
We are the lab rats in their experiment.
They want complete control of what goes on in America, in what we once called the home of the brave and the land of the free.
And all we can do as American patriots to stop them is vote.
So I’m asking you: vote.
Vote like American lives and freedom depend on it. Because they do. Without free speech there is no freedom.
