โ€œThe heart is more deceitful than all else

And is desperately sick;

Who can understand it?

I, the LORD, search the heart,

I test the mind,

Even to give to each man according to his ways,

According to the results of his deeds.โ€

โ€” Jeremiah 17:9-10

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

To those who are disappointed that the President survived and no others were killed, God help their sick souls.

I realized Sunday as I reflected on the shooting and read the manifesto that I was grateful for: first, the shooter exposed major security vulnerabilities in the postscript of his manifesto and in his actions which Kash and Susie Wiles are now addressing FINALLY. Second: all those complicit media folks were held hostage to TDS they helped foster and some of them may actually now choose to be less biased in the future.

Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

You would think it would be a sobering moment for everyone there, even those with the worst cases of TDS.

Juju's avatar

You would think. But most of them already live in an alternative fantasy reality in their heads. It was like watching a movie to them, and not hitting home like it should.

JenniferS's avatar

One difference this time is that a lot of TDS journalists were potentially in the line of fire this time. Just maybe that will penetrate a few formerly closed minds.

Juju's avatar

Thatโ€™s my point, I donโ€™t think most of them realized that. Itโ€™s like a game to them. They donโ€™t really register that they themselves were ever in any REAL danger as they grab for those three bottles of wine on the table before leaving โ€ฆ

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

I have been thinking the same, JenniferS! Many from the legacy media were there and experienced firsthand an assassination attempt. Iโ€™m hoping that the danger and magnitude of being present at such an event will be a pattern interrupt that they desperately need. Iโ€™m hoping that it will make a few stop and think about their role in generating all the hatred and stirring the pot, as it were.

Fred Richmond's avatar

Exactly. Nothing will change in their minds. These people are irredeemable.

Donna in MO's avatar

"Central casting" was trending yesterday on X. Lots of lefties, and a few on the right, saying the whole episode was staged.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Wow- thatโ€™s absolutely ridiculous, Donna in MO! Not sure what outcome would be something that would prompt a staged action. If it was, which I doubt, theyโ€™re certainly not getting it. It did, however, reveal security holes and areas that need improvement for sure. Iโ€™m not going to believe any of those outlying reasons without some factual evidence, of which thereโ€™s none so far.

RJ Rambler's avatar

Because of how much they themselves have staged in the last 40 years.

This is going to come to a shooting war at some point if there are no legal consequences to this kind of barbarity

Media might tone it down for a few days but Kimmel and Hakeem won't let them do it for long. They are still stirring the pot.

Melania has just called on X for ABC to fire Kimmel. Brava!

I'd like to see a big fat fine on ABC from the FCC, with a stiff warning about losing their license. May not hold that up, but put them through the legal process at least.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

I think we need to meet with these people and attempt to find common ground, in an effort to bridge the hate and come together as a nation.

Bull-F**king-Shit!

We are way beyond finding common ground with these sick, evil minded, hateful people on the left. It is time to fully realize they are at war, WITH US!

From the Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin: "โ€œWell, we almost got #freebeerday,โ€ the companyโ€™s post read, although Fox News could not immediately identify the posterโ€™s tie to the owner. โ€œEither a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. Weโ€™ll never know.โ€

"Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle" - let that sink in.

Its time for action. What do we do to actually make a difference?

a. Pray, a lot.

b. Work harder than ever to ensure we have a legitimate election system for 2026 and beyond, instead of the s-Election system which has been forced on us, without our consent. Call Thune ((202) 224-2321) and every rotten RINO in the Senate (switchboard: (202) 224-3121) and let them know its time to end the stinking, do nothing filibuster process and pass the Save America Act. Tell them it is existential for them, they will figure out what you mean. If you are giving any of those scoundrels contributions to do their damned jobs, stop it! Instead, let them know you will be "primary-ing" them for failing to protect the Constitution. Every time they send a text begging for a donation reply with that. Do the same with your local and state politicians. We have to raise the heat on them if they are ever going to do anything substantial to restore verifiable, certifiable elections.

c. You MUST GO VOTE and YOU MUST TAKE EVERYONE WITH YOU. WALK IN, but if you have no choice but to mail in, than walk it in to your county office, thereby eliminating the opportunity for it to be hijacked by the criminals in the USPS. IF YOU DON'T VOTE, THESE EVIL SONS OF BITCHES WILL VOTE FOR YOU. THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED THE MAIL IN VOTE TO CHEAT AND STEAL ELECTIONS, PERIOD, FULL STOP. Quit playing around with the stupid idea it helps people vote, NO, it ensures they can steal any election they want to steal. They just proved it again in Virginia and as a test run for 2026.

d. Make sure you have your means to end the tyranny of the evil left we are witnessing and you have a lot of ammunition. And that you have practiced with it and can reliably hit targets at 300 yds in. And carry a handgun, with two extra mags every where you go. I know, some will say are you serious Dan? My response, yes, I'm serious and I've thought this over. If they steal 2026 it is time to implement our final Constitutional process, the 2A process. We cannot let them steal 2026, that's a firm and final red line which cannot be crossed. If, we conscientiously do "a", "b" and "c" above we shouldn't need "d". But these people are rabidly hateful and they are not going to play dead, they are actively plotting to steal the election and kill people they don't agree with, that would be you and me. Let me be clear, I am not calling on women, I'm calling on men to do your job if it comes to this and for women to support your man.

These people tried and succeeded in killing millions with the pLandemic, they allowed millions of illegals into our country to help them steal it, they are murdering us every day, they've attempted to murder our President at least three times now. Yes, I believe God is protecting him but evil gets a vote and evil is carrying around weapons with the intense desire to kill those who they hate. Trump, you, me and everyone like us. Your PRIMARY targets, left politicians, left media, left lunatics. If they start dropping like poison sprayed flies the rest will quit. And for those who wont, we will need to deal with them. I hope it doesn't get to "d", but being unprepared is not an option.

And woe to all of them if they assassinate President Trump. It is now to the point where we all must find the courage of our revolutionary forefathers. Don't expect others to do what YOU and ME need to do if it gets to "d".

S.P.H.'s avatar

Dan, passionate and accurate summation of where we are today. I'm disappointed with seeing only 21 โค๏ธ. I'm guessing, no hoping, it's your 2-A stance scaring folks away from agreeing. Most Americans are not prepared physically emotionally or psychologically, to defend themselves or our country. That's the policemanโ€™s job they think. We saw how well that worked on Saturday.

Your election stance is right on! Living in the state that birthed all mail in voting years ago, with no Republican governor since, shows how voting month assures the outcome the left and their unions want. Vote on election day, hand carry your ballot to the election office and hand it to the clerk. Demand they look at your picture ID, smile and tell them God Bless America!

Never forget this folks: Maxine Waters urged supporters to confront members of the Trump administration publicly, saying in 2018: "If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them theyโ€™re not welcome anymore, anywhere!"

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

You are probably right, and that is why I'm saying it now, and often. People need to steel themselves and get BUSY doing a, b, c, while preparing to do d. Half the police are against us for those who think it's their job. If the global communists steal 2026 - which they are planning to do right now, preparing everything they need to put into place - then our President's agenda for the remainder of his term is lost and so is 2028. We CANNOT allow that to happen. I'm expecting that the President and his great team has a plan, he always has a plan. I do believe TAW because GAW. But that does not mean they wont assassinate him (evil does get tactical wins) and steal 2026, then we must take charge and show no remorse and no hesitation. People need to realize what is at stake, its POTUS, his team, and the Citizens of the USA who support him against the evil world, notwithstanding South America and dare I say the M.E. has come a long way and will be even farther with the end of the terrorist islamic regime in Iran - islam is not a peaceful religion - and I am sick of listening to that gaslighting garbage. But China, EU, the Canadian scum to our North and immediately to our South (Mexico) want the USA destroyed as a Constitutional Republic, of, by and for the Citizens. And a whole bunch of infiltrators - people like omar, tlaib, gallego from decades of mass immigration and unconstitutional birth right citizenship, and indoctrinated stupid, evil men and women who have murdered two generations worth of Americans in the womb.

Its not easy, nor do I take it lightly, to say we need to prepare to implement the one remaining Constitutional solution - the 2A. It was provided by God and our founders, when all else has failed. The lunatic, sick, evil, left is on fire with decades of indoctrinated hate, and they will do whatever they can to steal back their hold on power. If by chance our prayers are answered - we must pray fervently - and we don't have to resort to the 2A, then we can put them away, for now, and prepare the next generations to defend their country. Its our country, we are it's last defenders.

I read a comment somewhere that stuck with me and makes total sense: a peaceful man who has nothing to lose is the most merciless enemy in existence. If the communists (let's be honest here - the enemy is communists posing as democrats) succeed in returning to power and take the steps that they have announced that they will, a LOT of "peaceful" men will be the wall that will have to stop them.

John of Oregon Fame's avatar

Dan 100%, you may have seen my post a few weeks ago about a book, Unintended Consequences, that describes a very similar scenario: 2nd Amendment folks minding their own business and enjoying their shooting and target practicing skills, and The Govmnt, started seriously hasseling them with bogus charges and persecutions. The 2nd A people got tired of it and seriously took the law into their own hands. Important people involved started showing up unalived by bullets. They couldn't catch them or stop them so the persecution of the 2nd Amendmen finally stopped. Thick book deep story line but a fascinating read. Hard Cover, which I bought long ago is really expensive, paperback, less so.

I would just like to say, this book, I would love to have a copy, but the paperback runs to over 100โ‚ฌ and the hardcover 1000โ‚ฌ.

It is however easy to find a digital copy on the internet. Just search the name with the author's name.

For those who read this comment, it is well worth getting a copy however you can, and reading it.

Page turner too even if it's on a screen.

I said โ€œsomeโ€ and โ€œmayโ€ - I can dream ๐Ÿ˜ด.

The other thought that ran alongside todayโ€™s @jeffchilders post is replaying the convo I had with my TDS sister right after Jan 6. I told her I could understand why the protestors were upset / felt the vote was fishy and expressed it; she was shocked and said there was no place in a civil democracy for violence. So in the mind of the TDS media and citizens, did Jan 6 not create the ultimate permission structure for them ? โ€œMAGA did it on Jan 6 so we can send out our own to get orange badman!โ€

I'm going to hope with you Emily.

azbill's avatar

They may not be smart enough to know that, Laura. So far I'm unimpressed with their critical thinking skills.

Chi-town Stan's avatar

Well, they "conveniently " forgot about a major series of events that took place 8 months prior to J6, that actually did create the permission structure they're currently using. I believe it was called the "Summer of Love", or some such ridiculous name.

Yes! A total Romans 8:28 moment! AND what might also possibly shape up to be a Boston Tea Party moment -- just as the colonies became united against the enemy, media may now (since they experienced personally the terror Trump and his family have been subjected to) find themselves disciplining their own rhetoric. I appreciated Trump immediately addressing the assassination with a humble speech and call for all to rise above...

It seems like they encourage it more then required for the "sick" support they get.

This is really scary.

The whole incident looks as phoney as when they served us up Butler in the Summer of '24.

Since the chaos erupted at the annual event, "Staged" has been trending on the social media platform X. One user wrote, "Shots fired, the Secret Service rushes in, and they let Trump continue to sit there? And now theyโ€™re going to resume the White House Correspondentsโ€™ Dinner, and Trump still plans to deliver a speech?"

Continuing, the user wrote, "Iโ€™m not saying this was staged to boost Trumpโ€™s tanking approval numbers, but it certainly looks odd."

Another user posted, "His approval ratings are so bad that he staged another assassination attempt to get out of the White House correspondentsโ€™ dinner."

Chi-town Stan's avatar

Hey Phil, good to converse with you again. I don't believe this was the administration's doing. Hereโ€™s why.

This guy is a change agent, he's also erratic and unpredictable. The sorts of traits that make an adversary difficult to counter. If you're the establishment, this has to frustrate you to no end. So, what are you left with? Getting rid of the threat by any means necessary.

1. Trump 1.0. We saw the Democrats use the impeachment process, weaponized and distorted beyond anything we have seen before. The truth is now coming out. More to the point, the Democrats never should have been able to take over the House back in 2018. They had help though.

2. During the Russia collusion brouhaha, there were three House committees digging into what had happened. There was the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Judiciary and Oversight Committees, who were holding joint sessions. All three committees brought in witnesses for interviews. I wound up getting my hands on the transcripts of the vast bulk of those interviews (i.e, the receipts). What I found, shouldn't surprise anyone here. To the person, the witnesses threw cold water on the whole narrative, but this never made it into the public sphere.

3. Now, why would you not publicly release this information? This was TNT quality stuff. It had the potential to blow up the midterms and would make for a nasty October surprise against the Democrats. Alas, Speaker Ryan and Leader McCarthy sat on it, thereby allowing the Democrats to take over the House. One would believe that they would want to keep their party in power and that this would provide the means of doing so. But, not so fast....

4. In the final days leading up to the 2016 election, Speaker Ryan urged any Republican who had been holding onto Trump's coattails to let go. That way they wouldn't go down with a sinking ship. It didnโ€™t sink, surprise! The result was so much of a surprise that the campaign hadn't thought of the kind of administration that it needed to form (think cabinet secretaries, agency heads, etc.). And so, it took recommendations from the worst possible sources, including the very establishment Trump had railed against. They were in a perfect position to stymy his agenda, which they did in no time flat. Which is why 2.0 surrounded itself with loyalists (some with their own self interests disguised as America First) and very few policy experts. Fortunately there is a shift taking place to remedy this.

5. Shortly after his departure from government (2019, what a coincidence), former Speaker Ryan was able to start up a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) during the 2020 pandemic. Not being one to judge, but I wonder where the capital raised for the IPO came from in order to get this thing off the ground. Inquiring minds want to know.

6. Fast forward to the previous election cycle and the lawfare being used to keep Trump from returning to the White House. We had the classified documents case in Florida. The election interference cases at state (think Georgia) and federal levels. We had at least two states try and keep him off of the ballot with a distorted reading of the 14th Amendment. We had three cases against him in New York. Two at the state level and one at the federal, level. And, of course, the two assassination attempts.

Yeah. This guy is radioactive for the powers that be. Kinda like Kryptonite is to Superman, or the color yellow for Green Lantern's power ring. He is not someone that they want left standing, which is why they relish the thought of at least taking back the House in November, and not only impeaching Trump for a historic third time, but also dragging anyone within his orbit before the various committees they would control, just for the express purpose of revenge and making their lives miserable. The worst part is that they have publicly stated as much. Make no mistake, the establishment is giddy with the prospects of a change in control of the House.

Phil Denter's avatar

Stan the Man!

We see things very differently. I believe that TPTB and Trump are in cahoots. I believe that the lying liars are lying to you when they have you believe that Trump opposes the World Economic Forum when, in reality, Trump partnered with WEF Co-chair Larry Fink on the Panama Canal deal last year. Fink, of course, is CEO of Blackrock (which owns a major chunk of the entire West!

I wrote this over a year ago. Every day it looks less "crazy" and more just plain accurate:

Trump's WEF mandates are to smash Greenland, Canada and the USA into the Club of Rome's New World Order Region 1 - North American Union (NAU), instigate then manage the bankruptcy of US Inc. and its phoney-bologna US$ and facilitate the transition from the prosperous corporatocracy that we knew (and loved) to their new thousand-times-worse-than-Orwellian technocracy.

Trump brokering and providing Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison & Sam Altman with a half a TRILLION[!] dollars falls into that last mandate. Those 3 amigos are developing our Super-AI (the biblical Beast System) to, among other things, custom build, in 48 hours, an mRNA jab to "cure" you of cancer(s) that you don't even have!

I shit you not.

-----

To show that I have a leg to stand on, consider the following list.

Trumpโ€™s WEF gems:

WARp SpEED* (COVID shot)

Stargate (blood tests and mRNA vaccines powered by Palantir, Open AI, SoftBank, Oracle to โ€œcure cancerโ€ฆโ€ [caused by COVID shot? ๐Ÿค”])

GENIUS Act (Digital Currency)

REAL ID rollout led by Mullin-it-over (intermediate step to national digital ID linked to medical records among other future [digital currency] applications). Built into SAVE.

Genesis Mission (National AI platform linking federal data centers)

6G Executive Order with โ€œimplantable technologiesโ€ as one of its purposes.

*Trumpโ€™s WARp SpEED is Lucifer's WAR on God's SEED.

Nick Luca's avatar

Very well written. A textbook chapter from a treatise. One can start with last page (THE SOLUTION, THE TREATMENT), and move page by page to the first (THE CAUSE and SYMPTOMS OF EVIL, SICKNESS).

Yes, after the 3rd assassination attempt of the President Trump, the conservatives have all the LEGAL options available TO ACT,AND NOW (Insurrection Act, Martial Law, federal apparatus, Supreme Court, multiple LAWS ON THE BOOKS).

But the TIME is only less then 3 years.

And, ALL conservatives, including THE CABINET, CONGRESS and SCOTUS, are dragging their feet and sucking their thumb, being timid, inactive and philosophizing, hopping somebody else will show up and solve all these problems, possible THE PRESIDENT (as if he did not do enough, already).

But we must have accountability, reconning, and soon. We need high quality lawyer who will know THE LAWS and how to formulate INDICTAMENTS and present them in courts.

Because the time is running out, the President must fire the cabinet members or appointees without ideas or actions and Congress must defund the SCOTUS. The President must replace it with an active, alive, โ€œNATIONAL SUPREME LAW COUNCILโ€.

The current SCOTUS seems obsolete, tired, slow, sleepy, expects to be presented cases it can accept or reject; instead to be proactive and make determination like Justice Thomas did by declaring that, โ€œProgressivism โ€ฆit has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration,โ€ฆit is opposed to those principles,โ€ฆ it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.โ€ He called progressivism โ€œan existential treatโ€ to our Republic.

Now, THIS IS A TYPE OF A PROACTIVE EQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, I am talking about.

The Banality of Evil; His Bro-ifesto reminds everyone everywhere that there are 75+ million of these Leftist Losers within the nation triggered and justified by Trumpian Fascism. The guy was apologizing for interrupting his Media heroes and peers who were dining and drinking within the event--probably spoiled their freak-off parties afterward too. He fully deserved, but didn't get the Alex Pretti treatment, maybe the Media Morons missed that part. In typical Leftist fashion, provoking Expansion of a Massive Police State IS THE GOAL---Get the violence and security apparatus fully formed and actively normalized in scope and then--TAKE it ALL Over to be used against those who built and supported its construction. Perhaps Kash got a pass due to his skin color--victimized by Historically Racist Capitalist America that exploits token Conservative persons of color.

Please note that many people on this thread are giving their full-throated support to an extension of the police state, apparently because they believe that it will only be directed toward their enemies.

Rather than simply answering my question*, azbill went straight to the tiresome ad homs.

*The truthful answer to my simple question exposes the hypocrisy so, instead of answering and facing the truth, it is, of course, straight to the ad homs like I'm debating some child in Grade 4.

Amen! And, while we are โ€œwarriorsโ€ of a kind, we must remember our place in Godโ€™s Word.

We are NOT to harbor hatred in our hearts or go around slicing off ears of the enemies of what is good! We are to PRAY for them and LOVE them and DO GOOD to them.

All of that sounds awful to me because I understand we are in a spiritual war and the enemy is actually carnated evil. We are battling demons not humans.

BUT! It helps when i remember the magnificence of our Holy God, that He may AT HIS DISCRETION, dip His hand into that writhing cess pool of bitter blue haired bearded women training in their hearts to harm good patriots and pluck out those who are HIS!

Yes, even now, possibly even this vile Cole character, there are members of Godโ€™s family tied up in the devils wicked schemes. And still they are within the reach of the God we serve and STILL the blood of Jesus was pure and precious enough to cover their stain!

Dear Lord, please make me honor You during this time, protect my heart and mind from hating any of Your children! Precious Jesus, even now, pluck out to safety whomever You will! Set his feet on solid ground! Open his eyes and ears! Let him bring You glory. In Your name I pray, amen.

Hate tends to make people irrational and stupid โ€” acting without reason.

When I first registered to vote back in the 80s, it was as a democrat. When Dukakis ran for president, the attorney I worked for then asked me who I was voting for. When I told him, he told me all the reasons I shouldn't. I was just an ignorant young girl. He changed my mind. Gradually, the Lord worked on me and completely changed my heart. I am so grateful that because of Christ's fathomless mercy, I am not who I used to be and still becoming who I should be.

James Goodrich's avatar

When I was young and naive I really believed the government wanted to protect Americans and our elected officials. I thought there was a common selflessness putting country, our constitution and our way of life above personal wealth and success. I always maintained that there were large groups of people that would rise up and crush any type of tyranny that threatened America. That was a time when I blindly trusted life here would simply work out for the good. I donโ€™t feel that way anymore. The decades of lies from the left changed me. Normal Americans know when theyโ€™re being lied to. A lifetime of living free is a daily battle. Iโ€™ve come to realize itโ€™s not others I need to rely on.

Our parish is building a wall (a little ironic) at the police department's suggestion to protect our school's children and other parish members from being vulnerable to an attack from a main thoroughfare next to us. We've had armed parishioners providing security for a few years now. It makes you quite aware that the world does not like faithful Christians.

The โ€˜worldโ€™ (lefty-leftists?) does not like any group seen as a threat to their power. Iron bars and armed guards surrounding the synagogue where my grandchildren attend Hebrew school is similar to your parish.

Our church started one more than 15 years ago as we started growing. We had 3-4 armed men in different areas at times before and during the service. And at one time due to threats of a divorced ex-parent threatening to come and grab the children from my area, we locked down the gym/classroom area immediately and no one came in or went out until the police had the parent and it was confirmed to us.

A formal, trained, armed, and communication connected team was then established and has continued since. The team was not the only ones who carried, either. ALL staff were instructed in Safe Team procedures. And all staff are fingerprinted and have background checks! Plus many other safety measures put in place in the Childrenโ€™s Ministry area and new ones added when needed.

Our parking ministry is also part of the Safe Team and rotate through the church parking lot and checking outside doors.

No. It will never be the same. Keep looking upโ€”after youโ€™ve looked around your area!

Willing Spirit's avatar

I remember the days before sticky tape, when packages were delivered tied up with string. In 3rd grade and above the teacher could call any boy up to her desk and ask to borrow his pocket knife. At recess the boys played a game called โ€˜mumbledy pegโ€™. They flipped their knives down into a circle drawn in the dirt, dangerously close to their bare feet for some sort of point system.

Girls skipped rope or played hopscotch.

Most 12 year old boys had a squirrel rifle.

Herodotus II's avatar

This has been happening since the 60's, and cemented in the 70's -- critical theory (Frankfurt School), postmodernism, and critical pedagogy (Paulo Freireโ€™s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1970). Freireโ€™s approach framed education as a tool to combat "oppression" rather than neutral transmission of knowledge. This has been our children's education for half a century, and we are now starting to reap the whirlwind of our nescience; our unawareness of what has been fed, intravenously, into our children's psyche.

A local lefty woman who is very involved in politics denied that the recent shooter was there to assassinate Trump. Someone in the group quoted a news organization, and the woman said, โ€œI need a verifiable source.โ€ So, they sent her links to multiple articles. Then she denied that she called others liars.

Jews have one country to call their own. Itโ€™s a little smaller than New Jersey. Arabs have a land mass equivalent to the U.S.

But Jews are being too Jewish in their own tiny, little country?

The Catholic Church presence there is deplorable and much of it is fueling the hatred of Jews.

Why would Jews feel less than excited about Christians?

Historically, โ€˜Christian Europeโ€™ held pogroms for at least a thousand years, burning Jews out, murdering Jews, leveling insane accusations against them, driving them from place to place.

โ€œIn 1939, several hundred men, women and Jewish children were able to acquire a ship, the M.S. St. Louis, and attempted to escape Hitler. Hereโ€™s how โ€˜Christianโ€™sโ€™ treated them.

In 1939, the St. Louis carried more than 900 Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany intending to escape antisemitic persecution. The refugees first tried to disembark in Cuba but were denied permission to land. After Cuba, the captain, Gustav Schrรถder, went to the United States and Canada, trying to find a nation to take the Jews in, but both nations refused. He finally returned the ship to Europe, where various countries, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, accepted some refugees. Following the German occupation of France, Belgium and the Netherlands during World War II, many refugees were persecuted during the Holocaust, and some historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them were killed in death camps.[2] These events, also known as the "Voyage of the Damned", have inspired film, opera, and fiction.โ€ Wikipedia

Tucker Carlson interviewed a butt ugly mustached โ€˜nunโ€™ a few months ago from Gaza, who proclaimed Hamas to be the good guys. (George Stepaloponisโ€™ sister, no less, but she/he looked like his brother, and was virulently antisemetic.)

Why oh why should some Jews be frustrated to the breaking point with โ€˜Christiansโ€™?

It was a shock during covid to see how easily and completely we could become a national government state. That churches and schools could be shut down and people panicked into hysteria by a lying government, echo chambered by a mockingbird media. There were times when I did not think I wanted to stay in a world turned upside down. It was an even bigger shock to learn I had been lied to my whole life of 70+ years, by the government I always thought would never betray the people they served.

It took some serious, โ€œCome to Jesusโ€ moments to realize, the U.S. does not solely own the rights of Christianity, but we were to be a beacon. Evil, as it always does, seeks out strongholds and will destroy one way or the other what Freedom had erected in the name of liberty and justice for all.

We are told over and over to vote Red, but we canโ€™t get a simple SAVE act, 83% approval, through a Republican led Senate. They donโ€™t even make excuses as to why. They simply ignore us, let the voices of the hysterical drown everything else out and go about business. What decent person wants to run for national or even state office any longer?

This. I feel the same way. I felt safe until 9/11/2001. I remember saying many times that it was that date and those horrific events that forever changed how I felt regarding safety here. We all came together for such a time as that, and then the true change came with one Barack Hussein Obama. Trump rose up BECAUSE of that traitor. I am thankful that I believe God is on His throne because that is what gets me through these times. It is heartbreaking to go through, and I miss my parents, the greatest generation but am thankful they aren't here now. My dad, a RADM in the US Navy (served 33 years) would be devastated. During Desert Storm he wanted to put on his uniform again and fight. He was 58 at the time. And still fit in his uniform. God is in control even when it doesn't feel like it.

I donโ€™t know how old you are, but when I was โ€˜young an naiveโ€™, I lived through the assassination of a president as well as quite a number of political figures. That was the reality, even though now, at this point in my life, I look back at my youth and assume it was a different, safer country . Was it really? Or was it because, without the internet, we perhaps had less of an idea of what was really going on.

Richard Whitney's avatar

We had more personal freedom, as citizens. We could come and go without hassle, we could take public transportation, we could walk into buildings. As children, we could ride our bikes to the park, and no one called the police claiming child neglect.

There wasn't all the fear of other people that has been inculated into the population since the 80s.

That is the difference.

I think much depends on where you live, actually. There are still neighborhoods where much of what you say still exists. When I was 12, I was molested in a New York City bus station. I suspect that may not have been the reality everywhere.

Richard Whitney's avatar

Maybe there are neighborhoods like that, but I recall a story about a boy coming home from school and he went into his garage because his mother wasn't home, and the neighbor called the police.

No, I was never molested. I'm sorry that happened to you. I didn't even realize there were such people until I was an adult and started reading about it. But now I realize that that was part of the fear inculation.

Here's some of the main points from Cole Allen's "manifesto". The speak to the guy getting really brainwashed, and sadly, he seems to be a Christian.

"And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

"Rebuttals to objections:

"Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.

Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. Iโ€™m not the person raped in a detention camp. Iโ€™m not the fisherman executed without trial. Iโ€™m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration."

Cynthia's avatar

The fact that so many people on social media (and not just Blue Sky) don't feel the need to hide their ardent support of a would-be assassin speaks volumes about where we are as a nation. Make no mistake. It's not just Trump they want to kill. They want all of us dead if we don't agree with their version of reality. They killed Charlie Kirk and gleefully cheered his death. They continue to mock his widow. This is who they are. When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM!

I wonder if it wasn't pre-gamed and pre- scripted also. I didn't read any of the responses but if the same words and phrases are out across the board, it was. It strikes me that Cole Allen expected to be caught well before "the run" and asked if he was being "punked". Is he off his psych meds and hearing voices, or was that real? Exactly who did he expect was aware and watching, so as to do the "punking"?

Mike Perceval's avatar

That is what โ€˜theyโ€™ want Debbie; to terrify you, and by extension, others in your circles of influence. The only antidote is an abiding faith in the true and living God of the Bible.

None of the evil that has occurred or will yet arise in the world has ever taken God by surprise. The Bible makes it clear that He took all of that into account before creating the first human being, including the fact that He would have to enter into our world as one of us, to be tempted as we are, but live in perfect righteousness, suffer, die an excruciating death on a Roman Cross, after being rejected, reviled, and mocked by the very people He came to save (as prophesied) - to take on the entire weight of sin for the whole world, for all time - and then suffer the righteous Divine penalty for that dark evil. And His estimation of the entire story was such that, โ€œโ€ฆfor the joy that was set before Him (He) endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2b)

These things, and so much more that is to come, are heartbreaking. But they are unavoidable aspects of Godโ€™s Redemptive Plan of the Ages, and we need to anchor our hearts in that strong ground of reality, trusting โ€œโ€ฆthat all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Am Israel Chai, to the glory of God!

He thanked his colleagues for their โ€œpositivity and professionalism.โ€ He thanked his students for their โ€œenthusiasm and love of learning.โ€ He even thanked, and I quote, โ€œthe many acquaintances Iโ€™ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships.โ€

Couldn't he had just said, 'You love me! You Really, REALLY love *ME*"?

Sorry, Ms Fields...

This part reminded me of the Prince in the movie The Princess Bride. It had vibes of โ€œ"I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped".โ€

Joe Karlovich's avatar

I think it points to a bigger problem. The problem is that the left is willing to abandon any sense of basic human rights and morality to achieve their end goal. Itโ€™s not just violence. They are willing to violate anyoneโ€™s rights, every right, who is not for their ideological beliefs. They are working on creating the very thing they claim they are against. An authoritarian government that removes all opposition by any means possible.

WP William's avatar

The Leftist Model perfectly. Chaos in the streets and everywhere else. Mass Disruption normalized and required to be met with desperate Despotism that will then be acquired by an appealing Revolutionary-Reformer-Patsy and Party that will then be destroyed and discarded as ineffective, traitorous, and weak, so that the Tyranny and Brutality of Revolution emerges to escalate and envelop as a full societal purge of all that was decent, good, and right

Joe Karlovich's avatar

No, itโ€™s selective rights and laws for different groups of people based on their beliefs. Not complete lawlessness, but rather a tiered or caste like system that allows for people to violate the rights of others for those they disagree with.

Larry Schweikart's avatar

In answer to your question, is there anyone on the Left who can stop this stuff, I don't think so. It's the answer I keep giving to a couple of my well-meaning friends who still think there is such a thing as a "conservative Democrat." Yeah, there is one, named John Fetterman, and they are trying to get him out. "Liberal Patriot" closed up shop last week. That says a lot. Today, Ryan Burge's "Graphs About Religion" shows that white Christians are absolutely stampeding away from the Democrats. So who will "moderate" them? No one. Only active resistance. Think U.S. Grant.

Janet's avatar

That has been my puzzle. The amount of Christians I know who steadfastly are on the left. Who have bumper stickers glorifying abortion. Who wanted the likes of me punished for not jabbing. The true mission to bring Christ into every space has just led to their total capitulation to the left. Kicked Christ out. I pray that they are stampeding away from the evil they have tangled themselves in.

Larry Schweikart's avatar

It defies all logic and can only be explained as spiritual warfare.

Lisa's avatar

Are Catholics ok with abortion now? Seems to me, they might be.

Willing Spirit's avatar

Faithful Catholics, the remnant, desperately seeking out alternative sources for worship, are not okay with abortion. They work the pro-life Womenโ€™s Help centers, supporting women through pregnancies and providing materials for care of little ones.

The Catholic Church as a whole gives at least token support to the Pro-life movement. They have a Pro-life Sunday observance, fill the baby bottles with cash, buy diapers and such for the Womenโ€™s Help Centers. I donโ€™t imagine them coming out with teaching that accepts abortion. Even the far left Pope Francis is quoted as saying that abortion is like โ€˜hiring a hit man.โ€™

And it is still a written teaching that contraception is a sin. But the tiny sized Catholic family of today shows that itโ€™s being ignored. Thereโ€™s a label for modern Catholics, โ€˜Cafeteria Catholicsโ€™. They pick from the faith what they like and leave the rest. I can certainly believe liberal Catholics would get abortions and support legalization.

The priestโ€™s homilies (sermons) are very โ€˜be niceโ€™ generic for most churches and will not offend any sinners. This is first hand observation from a Catholic Convert. Maybe the real work of conviction and repentance happens in Confession. For the faithful, Iโ€™m sure it does.

Jo Highet's avatar

Boy, it sounds like you and I know the same people!

C4SSSSS's avatar

Fetterman is a fascinating and tragic case. He was elected as a progressive democrat with policies like Bernie and AOC. Then he suffered a debilitating stroke. A stroke kills neurons and results in brain damage. This caused him to become a MAGA republican.

Sad for him, but what does this say about trumpers??

Tom Childs's avatar

Finally came to his senses. Serious trauma can cause serious reevaluation

โ€”โ€œWhat I found myself looking at in shocked horror was not random outrage.โ€

Honestly, given what weโ€™ve seen in the past few years, I am not sure why you felt any shock at this, Jeff ๐Ÿ˜• Horror, yes, very understandable. But shock? Theyโ€™ve been telling us very clearly for quite some time who they really are ๐Ÿ˜•

Nikki (Gayle) Nicholson's avatar

Running- I think the shock is because we "hope in the deepest part of our soul" that these delusional people will change. But I don't think they will. It is like living in the Twilight Zone.

Dena's avatar

Yes, BELIEVE them when they tell you who they are.

Juju's avatar

I think the shock is how something that SHOULD have shaken them awake did absolutely nothing but embolden them.

Valerie's avatar

I wonder if any of the liberal reporters in attendance Saturday night will have a wake up call from the experience. Probably not the ones that were double fisting the bottles of booze left on the tables, but maybe there were a few for whom that was a turning point.

Juju's avatar
Apr 27Edited

We all hope one of them will. Even one waking up is better than the day before, but itโ€™s so widespread that to curtail it and change it requires a large number of them waking up and working together to turn the ship around. I donโ€™t see that happening.

Frankly if one of them HAD gotten shot by a flying bullet in such a melee, Iโ€™m certain they would find a way to blame Trumpโ€™s rhetoric for it, not their own, and it would continue.

RunningLogic's avatar

Did you see that Trump contacted them to check if they were okay? He really goes above and beyond!

Valerie's avatar

I hadnโ€™t seen that but Iโ€™m not surprised.

Skeptical Actuary's avatar

I just set up a BlueSky account, and I found a lot of people claiming the attempt was "staged", also known as "Trump faked it", same as we see on X.

I haven't found people who are sorry he missed, or are cheering on the next guy.

Mystic William's avatar

I am not even slightly shocked. I have sat with two groups of educated left wing people at dinner parties. They worry about climate change. Both times these people ended at โ€˜well we know what we have to do, donโ€™t we? People must be culled.โ€™ Lefties all look down solemnly and โ€˜reluctantlyโ€™ agree. That thinking is out there. This was 8 or 9 years ago. I stopped attending neighbourhood soirees as I donโ€™t attend psychopath parties.

Also once COVID hit and I voiced my concerns I have never been invited to even speak with them and have tea. I know they wanted to kill anti vaxers.

So, kill Trump? Of course. They would have killed me easily, four or five years ago. In a heartbeat.

Insanity abounds.

RunningLogic's avatar

Funny how they themselves are never part of the group that โ€œmust be culledโ€ ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‘

Mystic William's avatar

At one of the parties I said โ€˜I guess it should be us though, right. We are past our prime. We are basically a waste of protein at this point. What do you think.โ€™ Harrumph harrumph. Their skill and intelligence will be needed more than ever now. Etc. Thee, not me.

Yes I was thinking the same thing

Barbara Lekowicz's avatar

Mystic, I understand exactly! As a โ€œnon jabberโ€ I was ostracized by compliant little sheeple, even my son and others in my family. I stood strong and they are the ones who had COVID numerous times and are now ill with strange cancers and maladies. The violence truly bothers me. I Conceal Carry and am sorry it has come to that. I am glad churches are protecting themselves now also. Christian values must prevail.

Conservatives have something like 3x the children libs have. I have read other numbers too. Some say 1.5-1. It is a lot though, whichever is correct. I tell Libs this and they donโ€™t dispute it.

100%. So much early dementia in the 70 year old cohort. Parkinsonโ€™s, Lewy Body, lots of undiagnosed. Not just memory issues, but confusion. Asking questions that they should know the answers to.

Jeffrey N. Gratton's avatar

I believe the civil war started some time ago. Now it's a question of cleaning up the mess as the Left increasingly ensnares itself in its very own fever dreams of authoritarianism.

I'm glad we've been blessed with the most competent government in generations. Thanks to Trump, we're eminently capable of handling this.

John Wygertz's avatar

The view from Oregon is not so sanguine. Look at the reporting on Initiative Petition 28 to see what we are facing. It purports to be a ban on animal cruelty, but will effectively ban hunting, fishing, and animal ag. I could be charged with sexual assault for artificially inseminating my cows.

The civil war is nowhere close to being over on the Left Coast. I left Portland to be left alone, but the other side refuses to do that.

BelleTower's avatar

John, I am currently living in CT which is just as awful but in a historical kind of way. I was raised in southern Oregon (north of Medford, south of grants pass ) and it has been horrifying to see the transformation of my beautiful home state to what we behold today. Just terrible. When my family moved there in the 70s (from California but I promise it was not like that), no one would have believed how corrupted the state could become. But in only a few decades the die was cast and Oregon was on the trail (sorry) to obscene levels of crazy. My poor parents saw it starting to slide and did what they could to affect it but they were only a working class couple with mouths to feed. But they raised up sensible children who are now sprinkled across the country raising their own sensible children (I have five!). God will see us out somehow. I pray for our nation every evening at 9pm (the โ€œBig Ben minuteโ€) and these words come to mind every night โ€ฆ

โ€œIf My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn away from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin AND HEAL THEIR LAND.โ€ ~ 2 Chronicles 7:15

Totally agree. But he's such a mean tweeter. And he doesn't often explain his war strategies before he attacks a real nazi-esque regime like the IRGC. So, it's all Trump's fault that these people have TDS.

I was hoping that the No Kings group therapy sessions would provide a path to calmly de-escalate ColdForce and the other anti-trumpers into accepting the will of the people and having a President of the most powerful and free country behave like the President of the most powerful and free country, and not hide in his basement. (And yes, we have to save Iran after thousands of protestors were killed).

Last thought: please, can we be allowed to know this loon's medications. Luigi too.
