Through the shocking assassination attempt on Trump, the Left’s war against America finally burst out into the open, escalating from psychological warfare to the kinetic. Make no mistake: this is our Lexington and Concord.
For many years now, the Democrat machine has been pushing the poisonous narrative that Trump is Hitler, and therefore, by implication and even outright suggestion, should be “taken out.” As Biden said very recently, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” Well, someone did.
Now we’re hearing echoes of the narrative the powers-that-be tried to sell us in 1963 after JFK was assassinated: just a lone gunman with a rifle from a book depository window—case closed. Regarding the attempted murder of Trump: “The FBI is treating the incident as a lone-wolf attack and is investigating it as a possible case of domestic terrorism.” This is as false as the official story from 1963.
In the case of a conspiracy to kill a political leader, what matters most is who set it up–who planned it. It’s the instigators and the conspirators who are the culprits. They’re the ones that benefit. Not a dead patsy. Not Lee Harvey Oswald and not the 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks who tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
PRIMING THE PUMP
Recall Biden’s Mussolini-like speech in 2022 in front of Independence Hall with Marines stationed on either side, and everything bathed in eerie blood-red lighting, when he angrily exclaimed:
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundation of our democracy!
Of course it isn’t Biden himself who is the real author of any of this. His vacant stares, slurred words and pathetic mumblings during his recent “debate” with Trump made all too clear what many of us have known for several years: Biden has advanced dementia and is merely a front-man for the real leader behind the scenes: Barack Obama.
It is at Obama’s doorstep that one might well lay the blame for July 13th, as well as for October 7th of last year. And many suspect he plans to be in the White House again, as the spouse of President Michelle—if the Dems can pull it off, which is now happily looking less and less likely.
THE DESPERATE DEMS
The Dems solved one of their problems via Biden’s disastrous debate that will enable them to replace him, but now they have to face the fact that they have no candidate who can beat Trump. They’ve tried so many ways to take Donald off the playing field: two impeachments, myriad false accusations, a stolen election, the raid on Mar-a-lago, lawfare cases galore on phony charges, and all the bad press money can buy.
Speaking of lawfare cases, two days after the assassination attempt on Trump, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon tossed out the bogus classified documents case against him, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith “was unlawfully appointed to his role and did not have the authority to bring the case.”
Another miracle! Seems Divine Providence is smiling on America once more. This is not only great news for Trump but also for that endangered species, the rule of law.
Back to the Desperadoes:
There’s nothing that the Dems hate and fear more than Trump rallies. The huge crowds Trump draws make the Dems’ candidates look pathetic by comparison. And there’s always the danger that some Democrats will actually watch a Trump rally speech, and discover that he is smart, funny, down-to-earth, authentic and inspiring—and he genuinely loves America and the American people.
Can’t have that!
So they’ve bent over backwards to forestall his rallies. They did this in 2020 through fearmongering: large gatherings, i.e. Trump rallies, would be “Super-spreader” events! No more rallies. And they did it in 2024 by keeping Trump in courtrooms as much as possible, and off the campaign trail.
Clever plan, guys.
But it hasn’t worked out too well, as Trump has held wildly successful rallies even in the blue states where he was being tried in court. Rallies in New Jersey and Harlem! Blacks for Trump! Uh oh. Another Dem backfire.
The poor Dems—one could almost feel sorry for them—if they weren’t so evil. Seems even the assassination attempt against Trump has backfired. Billionaire and media giant Elon Musk just endorsed Trump and pledged $45million/month to his campaign! And take a look at this chart.

Of course the persecution of Trump isn’t simply about the man. As he himself has often stated, “In reality they’re not after me. They are after you. I’m just in the way.”
SECURITY FAILURE OR SET-UP?
Just today CNN described Crooks’ actions on July 13th. Apparently, he got up that morning and decided to assassinate President Trump. So he went shopping, bought 50 rounds of ammunition and a ladder so he could climb up on a rooftop for a sniper’s vantage point, and drove for an hour to the rally site.
Who in his right mind would think he could waltz into the environs of a high-security Trump rally schlepping a ladder and carrying a shotgun around in plain daylight?
But I suspect Crooks was not in his right mind. In fact, this sounds to me eerily like a case of MKUltra or other mind-control mechanism at work—almost as if Crooks were hypnotized and listening to a voice telling him what to do, step by step. We’ll likely never know. But many of us, myself included, suspect an expert sniper, not neophyte Crooks, fired the shot that hit Trump.
Here’s why I believe it was a set-up:
· Trump out of the way is the Dems’ dream come true
· His sudden death just days prior to the Republican’s Convention would throw the party, and the nation, into chaos
· Biden refused to increase Trump’s security though asked in advance of the rally, even taking agents away from Trump’s security detail and giving them to…Jill! who was coincidentally “campaigning” in Pennsylvania that day
· The DEI Secret Service security leader failed to station anyone on the rooftop of the nearby building(s)
· The local police saw the shooter but fumbled their chance to stop him
· The Leftwing media downplayed the incident in their first few headlines, all refusing to use the word “assassination”
If we were back in the day before online reporting, every newspaper in the country would have immediately been running headlines like this:
President Trump Hit by Bullet in Brazen Assassination Attempt at Pennsylvania Rally!
Instead, we got the following:
From CNN:
Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally (Priceless, though despicable)
From ABC:
Two killed, Trump evacuated in shooting at rally in Pennsylvania.
From NBC:
Trump injured amid gunfire at rally ahead of RNC.
From AP:
Donald Trump has been escorted off the stage by Secret Service during a rally after loud noises ring out in the crowd. (This one takes the cake. Just the facts, ma’am. We’re journalists. )
Oops…here’s Fox:
Trump Rally Halted by Security Incident (A close second.)
Nice try, guys. Guess you forgot how to spell A-S-S-A-S-S-I-N-A-T-I-O-N.
They were apparently told to downplay the assassination attempt, suggesting it was just a fluke.
Interestingly, according to Dr. Ryan Cole, the major stations—CNN, MSNBC, et al.—oddly and uncharacteristically provided live coverage of this particular Trump rally. If true, this suggests they’d been told something big would happen. It would also seem that the conspiratorial masterminds behind the plan wanted the MAGA millions to witness DJT being assassinated in real-time on TV, just as many of us witnessed the assassination of JFK in 1963. All the better to shock, horrify, traumatize and demoralize America’s patriots.
The real enemy of the people is not only the Marxist Dems and their globalist friends, but also their mainstream media presstitute enablers.
FORENSICS, PLEASE!
In the plethora of information that came tumbling out in the hours after the shooting, multiple eyewitnesses said there were shots from different directions, meaning more than one shooter. That certainly makes sense, if the Dems were out for blood.
Now we need the receipts.
So far two forensic experts from University of Colorado have weighed in, using audio analysis: Forensic analysis indicates that up to three firearms were discharged during the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
And here’s a shocker: several eyewitnesses saw a man shooting from a nearby water tower! I suspect that man was the expert marksman drafted to assassinate Trump. After all, you don’t go to all the trouble of elaborately planning an assassination and then leaving it to an inexperienced kid who “was rejected by his high school’s rifle team and ‘shot terrible,’ ” to pull off the public assassination of your most hated and feared opponent.
I’d also like to hear from ballistics experts regarding the angle Crooks’ had from the rooftop to Trump on the stage. Might a shot from the water tower be more likely to have hit Trump’s right ear once he moved his head? Take a look at the photo from the New York Post using this link, also shown below. And while you’re at it, take a look at young Crooks. Looks like a patsy from central casting if you ask me.
We’ve now also learned why the DEI Secret Service Director didn’t put a counter-sniper on the rooftop from which Crooks fired his rifle:
That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.
Brilliant, Madame DEI Cheatle. Keep the counter-snipers safe while endangering the President!
A MAN OF VALOR
We’ve just seen what courage looks like.
Right after he came close to being assassinated by a sniper’s bullet, not only did the bleeding Trump hold up his fist in a gesture of strength and defiance, he followed by shouting to the MAGA crowd: “Fight, fight, fight!”
That’s a leader! That’s a Commander-in-Chief! No thought for himself, but for his countrymen, for the battle to take back America from O’Biden and the villainous Marxist/globalist Left.
And the day after he narrowly escaped death, Trump said this:
In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win.
SPEAKING OF MIRACLES
The bullet that hit the side of Trump’s head was only millimeters away from being a deadly shot to his brain. This is surely one of the greatest miracles of our time.
Here’s what Trump himself said,
…it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. …We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.
Back in 2008, seven years before Trump and Melania came down the escalator in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, Kim Clement prophesied thus: “Trump shall become a trumpet, says the Lord!“, and that the president to come “would have no fear!” Clement also prophesied that Trump would serve “two terms.” But he didn’t say they were consecutive.
Funny thing, all my bookmarks of his prophecies now lead to blank pages. But you can watch Clement’s prophesy on Trump by scrolling to the video here.
AN AMERICAN HERO IN THE CROSSHAIRS
At any rate, we’ve learned at least two things from this attempt on Trump’s life:
America is at war and our own homegrown treasonous Marxists/Dems & RINOs, with possible aid and assistance from the international globalist predatory “elites” and/or Chinese Communists, resorted back to the traditional, time-tested method that still trumps the fancier “fifth generation warfare,” i.e. assassination.
And that Trump is a national hero. Make that an international hero—one for the ages.
Says Benny Johnson,
We learned one very important thing tonight—President Donald Trump is willing to die for this country….Willing to die for us. … this alone should be enough to win all 50 states.
Says Michael Goodwin:
In that moment, Trump proved himself a pure warrior. Rising in front of the American flag with blood on his face and with a fist pump and declaration to “Fight,” he justified the enormous faith in his leadership millions of supporters have.
Says Tucker Carlson during his interview of John Rich:
Everything has aligned in the period of the last three days to make it very obvious Donald Trump’s going to be the next president…
When bloodied Trump—who’d just survived a nearly successful attack on his life— brandished his fist, he not only demonstrated courage, he also urged his followers to continue to fight for our Republic. For he knows, as do the MAGA millions, that the stakes are as high as they were when our courageous Founders fought their version of this battle: either secure liberty or suffer tyranny. Let us work, pray and hope for our own triumph in taking back the Republic they bequeathed to us.
Yet Trump’s rousing “Fight! Fight! Fight” message to the crowd was not only an inspiring battle cry—coming at such a moment, it was also a poignant one. This was a beloved President and Commander-in-Chief, essentially saying to the MAGA millions: “Even if they take me down, keep fighting! Fight for your country! Fight for liberty! Fight for your families! Fight so good triumphs against evil! Fight!”
And the crowd broke out in chants of “USA! USA! USA!”
This was their answer, and the answer of all who love America:
“Yes, Sir, we will!”
