The Party of Violence

In the 1988 movie, The Naked Gun, a baseball player, played by Reggie Jackson is brainwashed by evil businessman, Vincent Ludwig, played by Ricardo Montalban into attempting to assassinate the Queen of England.  In the final scene at a Major League Baseball game, Ludwig uses an electronic beeper to activate Jackson and he hypnotically walks out of right field with a gun in his hand toward Queen Elizabeth repeating, “must kill the Queen, must kill the Queen.” Jackson, obviously, is unaware of what he is doing, as he unconsciously does the bidding of the person who has brain washed him.

As we have witnessed the many assassination attempts by leftists against conservatives over the last few years, it is hard not to draw comparisons of what is happening today to that 1980’s movie. Cole Allen, the 31-year-old man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump on Saturday, was the tool. He is the person who was unwittingly doing the bidding of the powerful left. He thought he was doing something heroic because he’s been told almost every day for the last 10 years that Donald Trump is the most evil person on the planet. He believed that he was saving the United States of America; he believed that he was saving the world from Donald Trump. And that was not a delusion. There were not nonexistent voices in his head, telling him these things. The voices in his head were real voices that he heard. They were coming from CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNOW, the left-wing social media, Democrat politicians. Those were the voices in his head telling him to do what he did.

We all know what President Trump has been called. This has been a 10 year long personal attack on our President. He has been called every vile name in the book – racist, white supremacist, Russian agent, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, pedophile, rapist, murderer, fascist, dictator, threat to democracy, Nazi, and Hitler. These have been repeated again and again and again and again with the sole purpose of what happened on Saturday night or what we witnessed in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024.

There are philosophy courses which discuss the question of the morality of going back in time and murdering a young Hitler before he had a chance to create the holocaust. Is it the most moral choice to kill one “innocent” Hitler before he has a chance to kill six million innocent people? The way the Democrats and the left portray Donald Trump, many people have been led to believe that ethical question is playing out in real time. And the people who have been slandering Trump know it. The attacks on Trump have not simply been a smear campaign against his policies to get people not to vote for him; this has been a psyop designed to trigger the fringe on the left to take matters into their own hands. The assassination attempt on Trump was the unspoken hoped for result of every person who has ever called Trump Hitler, a Nazi, a fascist, etc.

And it never stops. Less than 24 hours after the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, in an interview with 60 Minutes, Norah O’Donnell read from Cole Allen’s manifesto in which he called Trump, “a pedophile, rapist, and traitor” – the very words that left wing politicians, celebrities and journalists have been calling Trump for a decade. That manifesto was him merely writing down the false accusations that the left has been spewing against Trump for the last 10 years, and were presented in the manifesto as his motivation. So, Norah O’Donnell knew exactly what she was doing when she read those words on national television. She is putting out into the ether that Donald Trump is all of those things because she knows that the next Cole Allen is out there somewhere watching her, hearing those false accusations, and may be motivated to act upon them. That is what the Democrat party is relying on.

When Luigi Mangione decided to assassinate a healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, many on the left, glorified him, built him up into some sort of folk hero. The underlying message from the left is that if you don’t like somebody, if you disagree with them politically, you will be glorified if you assassinate them. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was cheered by many on the left. There have been Broadway plays in which Donald Trump has been assassinated, and the people in the audience applauded. Days before the recent assassination attempt of Trump, “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel called Melania Trump a “widow in waiting.” James Carville recently talked about wanting “him [Trump] to suffer”. Far left influencer Hasan Piker said on his podcast “let the streets soak in red Capitalist blood”, and praised Luigi Mangione for the “social murder” of Brian Thompson.  

Here’s the problem, the people who carry out these assassinations and assassination attempts, what do they gain? What did Thomas Crooks gain by shooting Donald Trump in the ear? His body was riddled full of bullets and is lying in a grave. What did Ryan Routh gain by trying to kill Trump at Mar Lago in September 2024? He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. In June of 2022, Nicholas Roske tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, and he is sitting in a federal prison cell right now. Tyler Robinson, the man who killed Charlie Kirk, is going to spend the remainder of his life in prison. Luigi Mangione and Cole Allen will spend the next 50 years living in a 6 x 8 cage. That is their future. They all thought they would be heroes, but what have they accomplished for their lives? Nothing. How did those assassinations change anything? They have not moved the needle at all. Their lives are completely destroyed. They accomplished nothing, but the Jimmy Kimmels and the James Carvilles of the world who were part of the psyop, just go on living in their mansions and laughing at the whole thing while the anonymous minions who do their bidding are killed or their lives are destroyed.

Alex Pretti and Rene Good are both dead now because they were emboldened to attack ICE agents because of the far-left propaganda against ICE as they were lawfully trying to remove criminal aliens from this country. Those two people were encouraged to attack ICE agents which led to their deaths, and today, no one on the left gives a damn about Alex Pretti and Rene Good. They are glad that both of them were shot and killed. That was the purpose of slandering ICE and getting people like that to attack ICE, so they could stand on their graves and use their deaths to dismantle ICE. The Democrats have used their deaths as the reason to not to fund DHS which will stop ICE from deporting criminal aliens so more illegals vote for them, so they can win more elections and commit billions of dollars of more fraud like we have seen in Minnesota and California.

Not only is it a fact that the majority of the political violence in this country comes from the left, we have recently discovered that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center has been funding, so-called extreme right groups, such as white supremacists and the KKK, to commit violence like we saw in Charlottesville back in 2017. We now know that the violence that has been attributed to the right, was bought and paid for by the left just so it could appear that the right is the violent side. There were dozens of undercover agents in the crowd on January 6, stirring up the riot that we witnessed on January 6. The left is all about violence, either they are using it to kill their opponents on the right, or are manipulating violence to smear their opponents on the right.

The left is all about violence – assassinations, riots, looting, protecting criminal aliens, cashless bail for violent offenders, early parole for murderers, open borders for drug smugglers, rapists and murderers. They want the violence because they know that violence destroys the country, and they need to destroy the country to seize control of the country. We are witnessing it in New York City. Mayor Mamdani is intentionally destroying New York to create the conditions where he can seize complete control of the city. That is what they do; that is who they are.

The Democrat party is a complete fraud. They lie about their opponents to create a psyop which emboldens would-be assassins. The left-wing grassroots protests and riots are paid for by billionaires. The violence on the right is paid for by the left. They open borders to change the electorate to vote for Democrats. They count illegals in the census to create more Democrat districts. They unconstitutionally gerrymander districts to erase Republican districts in their state. They have illegals on the voter rolls voting for them. They have dead people on the voter rolls voting them. They stuff the ballot boxes with mail-in ballots with no identification verification. Billions of USAID money has been funneled to left wing groups and Democrat politicians. Billions of dollars of daycare fraud in Minnesota which bribed whole communities to vote for them. Billions of dollars of healthcare and hospice fraud in California.

Everything they are about is fraudulent. It is fair to ask; do they not have a conscience? How could they be up to their eyeballs in sewage and not smell the stink? How could they not look around and conclude that if they have to resort to violence, and lies, and fraud, and mass deception for their party to win that maybe they are on the wrong side, maybe they are the problem? But they are deluded. They believe that they are so morally right that all of their lying, deception, fraud and violence is all justified. And that is how dangerous the Democrats are.
