RUMINATIONS ON THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF DONALD J. TRUMP
As if any further proof was necessary, a recent article from “THE HILL” provided additional confirmation that Adam Kinzinger - the now disgraced, expelled, perfidious RINO congressman who collaborated with the Democrats in the ridiculous Moscow show trial perpetrated on the American people by the January 6th Committee - is a complete ass.
Following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, JD Vance, just chosen as Trump's VP running mate, publicly said the following 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.”
Anyone who has been paying attention - especially anyone who has noted the long-time incendiary rhetoric the Biden campaign and their mainstream media toadies have employed to characterize Donald Trump - "Hitler! Aspiring dictator! Election denier! Threat to democracy! Enemy of the Constitution! Destroyer of America! He'll murder his opponents! He must be stopped!" (see my earlier post “The Left’s Deceitful War of Words”) - knows Vance has done nothing more than provide a direct and concise statement of fact.
When you say Trump "must be stopped", when you say, as Biden did the day before the assassination attempt, "Donald Trump is a threat to the nation!", when you declare "Trump cannot be allowed to be president again!", what are you actually saying? What kind of response are you eliciting from your hearers? What are you inviting them to do? (Reminds me of the quote attributed to King Henry II regarding Sir Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury: “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” Without further ado or instruction, Henry’s knights promptly went to Canterbury and murdered Becket in front of the church altar.)
What, with that sort of rhetoric, are you inviting somebody to do? That, ladies and gentlemen, is a rhetorical question. The answer is obvious - and we saw the answer in action in Pennsylvania on Saturday at the Trump rally. This is exactly the reckless, lying, lawless, defamatory, seditious game the Left and their lackies in the media have been actively playing since Donald Trump began his political career.
As Joseph Goebbels astutely observed, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." His dazzling success during the heyday of Nazi Germany - his successful villainization of the Jews - proves the point. When the sort of explosive, defamatory, endlessly repeated calumny - no matter how empty of substance but to the mindless minions seeming to come from authoritative, credible sources - that has been relentlessly hurled against Trump is constantly fed to the intellectually, morally and spiritually defunct, gullible, useful-idiot element in our society, it is hardly a surprise - indeed it should be expected - that some dim-bulb dupe like Crooks would decide to make a hero of himself by saving the country from what he had been assured is the existential threat posed by Donald Trump.
Nevertheless, the dolt Kinsinger declares that Vance's precise and honest description of what has actually happened - his statement of truth and reality - should somehow disqualify Vance to serve as vice president under Trump.
I say again, what an ass! How is it possible that pathetic clowns like Kinsinger are elevated to any degree of power in the United States of America? How is it possible that anyone cares what a buffoon like him has to say? (Sadly - and much to America's shame and disgrace - the same questions can and must be asked concerning those at the very pinnacle of power in our country today. The corrupt, illegitimate, doddering, demented sock puppet Biden and the cackling bimbo Kamala are a standing disgrace to everything this great nation ever stood for. They render the whole nation a laughingstock in the eyes of the world.)
Still, I suppose Kinsinger's comment is just part of the now ongoing effort by the RINO/Democrat/Globalist cabal to downplay the significance and impact of the attempted assassination on the whole of American society and the nation's political life.
Those who have seen the video footage of the attack on Trump - who hasn't? - will recall him raising his fist and crying, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" moments after he escaped death. Contemplating all that Trump has been through prior to the assassination attempt - the massive, multi-faceted and ongoing attack on him by a corrupt, entrenched power structure - culminating in an attack on his very life that very nearly succeeded - can any reasonable, fair-minded person fault Mr. Trump for seeing himself and his supporters as being in the fight of their lives? Surely Trump himself, as the assassination attempt made undeniably clear, is literally fighting for his very life, as are his supporters, as attested by the rally attendee who was killed and the two others still fighting for their lives.
Nevertheless, commenting on Trump's courageous belligerence in the face of an attack on his life, this is what the pathetic CNN's Jamie Gangel had to say:
“I do want to say there was one thing ... I found odd because of all of the heated rhetoric. And that is that after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, “Fight, Fight! Fight!” I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down.”
Indeed, here essentially is the “tamped down” message the corrupt, seditious Left and their slaves in the media are attempting to sell to the nation after the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump:
"Hold on! Tone it down! Chill out! No big deal, right? Trump survived, didn't he? A close call, but, hey, all is well! We're all delighted he made it, aren't we? We all agree there's no place for violence in our political life, don't we? Time to move on. What's the point of endlessly digging into the details? The past is past, isn't it? Can't we just let bygones be bygones? Can't we all just get along? No need to dig up old grievances, right? Time to bury the hatchet. Onward and upward! Beyond the poor, misguided soul who pulled the trigger, no need to assign blame for what happened, right? Let's just move forward into a bright new day of cooperation, peace and unity!"
Of course, Brutus, but what is that red stain on your robe?
In reality, metaphorically, America has just experienced a category 9 earthquake. The seismic intellectual, moral and spiritual fault line splitting America, the gaping chasm in our society separating right from wrong, truth from lies, reality from fantasy, light from darkness, good from evil, has never been more expansive.
In all their vicious attacks on Trump, culminating in the attempt on his life, the treasonous, seditious Left have used every tool at their disposal to foment violence and incite lawlessness, riot and disorder. Up to and including the moment Thomas Matthew Crooks pulled the trigger on his AR, leftists have attempted to strike a fatal blow at the very heart of traditional, rule-of-law, Judeo/Christian America. As a consequence, though the Left doesn’t wish you to see it, the entire intellectual, moral and spiritual face of the land has been changed and will never be the same again - all thanks to the indomitable Donald J. Trump.
Following the attempt on Trump's life, I told my wife I was glad it had happened and worked out the way it did, with Trump safe. Indeed, I actually felt invigorated.
Why?
In past posts I have observed that a great and broad-based failing among the American people is their lack of imagination - their inability - or perhaps unwillingness - to recognize and confront the true scale of evil at work among them. It is not a pretty picture, but it is an inexorable picture of unforgiving reality - a hostile, seditious, treasonous reality that threatens everything this great nation has been blessed with since its founding - our God-given liberty, our prosperity and our security - our very lives.
This threat is perpetrated by Godless elitist traitors among our own people and the mindless useful-idiot minions who blindly do their bidding. These are intellectually, morally and spiritually defunct individuals who have utterly no regard for anything but power and money and satisfying their own selfish desires. In pursuit of those selfish interests, they, without a second thought, will not hesitate to burn the country down. Without a patriotic bone in their bodies, they are the very incarnation of my preferred definition of evil - what some people, in pursuit of their own selfish interests, are willing to have other people suffer.
These people do not constitute any sort of "loyal opposition". They are not people who share with us a reverence for our Constitution, the rule of law and our traditional way of life. They are not separated from decent, patriotic Americans by honest differences of opinion but by pure evil and the lust for power that springs from it. They actively, aggressively reject everything traditional America is built upon - belief in God, belief in inalienable God-given human liberty, belief in Judeo/Christian morality, belief in and support of an inspired Constitution and the rule of law that flows from it. Because these values and principles impinge upon their lusts, they despise all of it - including all of us “deplorables” who do believe. They hold in derision the Founders of America and consider the Constitution not a bulwark protecting the sacred liberties of the people but an obstacle standing in the way of their ambitions.
As Abraham Lincoln observed:
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
Now is the hour. The proposed and aspiring "authors and finishers" of our destruction are among us and are actively working to bring America down. Having rejected the principles and spirituality that alone have power to counter the corruption of the human soul (Mosiah 3:19), they are implacable in their evil intentions. Like the Terminator, they will not stop. Driven by the unmitigated corruption that wells up within the unregenerate human soul, they cannot stop.
Unless and until they are stopped.
So why was I invigorated by the unsuccessful attempt on Trump's life? Because I believe we are inexorably moving toward an existential conflict with the implacable, Godless, corrupt, seditious element among us. They are bounded by no governing principle of morality and are absolutely beyond the reach of reasoned argument. They are absolutely the enemies of America, and they are not going away. I believe we are going to have to fight them sooner or later. (Billionaire investor Ray Dalio estimates a 1 in 3 chance of civil war.)
"Know thine enemy" is ancient wisdom. In the same way a problem undefined has no solution, we can't fight an enemy we have not named and understood. The attempt on Donald Trump's life was the inexorable culmination and logical conclusion of the tidal wave of lies, deceit, slander and libel the Left has directed against him and his supporters from the beginning - and the ultimate revelation and definition of the threat America faces. These people, steeped in their Godless intellectual, moral and spiritual corruption and their lusts for power and money, are that threat.
We all saw the blood streaming down Donald Trump’s face. We all now know with brilliant, bloody clarity there is nothing these people won't do in their attempts to stop the man they rightly see as an existential threat to their power and money ambitions.
Accordingly, the good part of this sad event - what I found hopeful and invigorating - is that very clarity - the people’s opportunity to see in all their hellish hues, with greater precision than ever before, "the true faces and eyes" (真面目) of the utterly lawless, evil enemy that confronts us and threatens everything that matters to us as a free and prosperous people. With the benefit of such clear vision, we - the people - now, as never before, have the opportunity to adjust accordingly our posture in relation to this enemy within.
If we are willing to embrace what is now so plainly manifest, we may well begin to prevail in this existential conflict between good and evil, the outcome of which will determine the fate of America.
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, order vs. chaos, law vs. lawlessness, justice vs. injustice, patriots vs. traitors, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, happiness vs. misery, God vs. the Godless…
Wuddulit be, folks?
If you can be fooled, you will be…
These are the times that try men’s souls…
