It was an amazing decision! Trump hit it out of the park! Can you imagine a better pick? Or: Everybody knew it was going to be Vance. What a letdown! Or: I knew it! Vance is the perfect successor to Trump and will excite the base and set the stage for another 12 years of MAGA rule after November! Or: WHAT A BETRAYAL OF MAGA! Trump picked a RINO who attacked him in 2016 and the uniparty wins! The truth is, no matter who Trump announced today, it would be exciting to some and a disappointment to others, and the choice will likely only have a marginal impact on the results this November. If that. To most Americans, it will have little to no impact because V.P. choices don't matter, and even J.D. Vance is an unknown figure to them. A very select group of people know who he is, and few will care, for good or ill. Chances are that few people could name Mike Pence, and he was Vice President for four years. This election is all about Donald Trump and was always destined to be. He is a once-in-a-generation figure from whom people cannot look away for long. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/07/15/live-reaction-to-vp-pick-n3791841

Justifying what ? Sen. Vance changing his mind, expanding his viewpoint ? Wow are you struggling. Meanwhile: A native of Middletown, Ohio, Vance detailed his upbringing in his acclaimed 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy, which was later adapted into a film directed by Ron Howard. His family’s struggles with poverty and addiction, Vance has said on multiple occasions, informed his political journey. From his humble roots in Ohio, Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps and matriculated from the Ohio State University. He graduated from Yale Law School in 2013. Vance briefly worked at a white-shoe law firm before he began his career as a venture capitalist. Vance’s 2022 Senate race was his foray into politics and largely an insurgent campaign against more established Ohio political figures. Bolstered by a primary endorsement from Trump, Vance secured the nomination with 32 percent of the vote. He would later defeat Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio), whose campaign focused on winning back white working class voters, by more than 6 points. During his brief tenure in the Senate, Vance has focused on economic populist measures such as revoking China’s most favored nation status and beefing up antitrust enforcement. A hardliner on immigration, Vance has been one of Trump’s biggest supporters in the Senate and one of his earliest endorsers in the 2024 presidential primary. His message of economic nationalism could potentially assist Trump in the rust belt, which has a disproportionate share of white working class voters. Polls show Trump leading in most rust belt states, which would be his clearest path to victory. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, urged Americans to "defeat Trump-Vance" in order to "protect democracy." https://freebeacon.com/elections/trump-names-jd-vance-as-running-mate-cementing-ohioans-meteoric-rise/ What a monster.

Young Voters Abandoning the Democrats in Droves. “The collapse began in 2016, the same year Donald Trump was elected to his first term in office — and, looking back, it seems almost inevitable.

Trump Reacts to Documents Case Dismissal: 'END all Weaponization of our Justice System' By Joe Cunningham Former president Donald Trump has spoken out about the dismissal of the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case against him. The Republican nominee, who is currently in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the Republican National Convention, sent a lengthy message via his account on Truth Social, sharing his thoughts on the dismissal and the government's continued prosecution against him. Trump's message to his followers was simple: It's time for the multiple cases against him to end and for the country to unite. https://redstate.com/joesquire/2024/07/15/trump-reacts-to-documents-case-dismissal-end-all-weaponization-of-our-justice-system-n2176886

No. Just to you and your bias. .

Again. The master of squirrels

Well certainly more that VP Biden claiming that Mitt Romney was going to put "Blacks back in chains" No ?

Nexstar @NXSTMediaGroup which has 200 owned or partner stations in 116 U.S. markets reaching 220 million people. Yes, the largest news broadcasting company in the country wanted to downplay Trump’s assassination Too bad we have to ignore this news because it came from DC Draino. .

.

.

No real response. Just attack a DC insider who has been posting for over seven years. Hey maybe you could refer to those you don't agree with as "SCUM" again. That seems to be your level of discourse. .

This will explode a few heads here.

Headfake. Classic Leftist. .

The Dog That Didn't Bark DAVID STROM Sometimes, what doesn't happen is the most important thing. In the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump, many in the mainstream media pointed a finger at...Trump...for raising the temperature of the political rhetoric. They quickly insinuated that Trump's followers, who have been labeled "domestic terrorists" and "white supremacists" would roam the streets looking for revenge. This is beyond ironic, since the president who they claim is trying to bring this country together has predicated his entire campaign--and the one in 2020, and much of his presidency--on the assertion that Donald Trump is an existential threat to America, akin to Hitler, that his supporters are terrorists, and he is intent on becoming a dictator. {snip} It wasn't the Reichstag fire, and it wasn't Antifa after almost any event that the left doesn't like. Republicans stood strong, stood together, and prayed for peace. The fact that Republicans and MAGA are, for the most part, middle-class people who want to recognize their country again and not feel constantly beset by people bent on "decolonizing," "queering," or "fundamentally transforming" our country is reflected in how we are comporting ourselves in this time of extreme stress. Don't get me wrong. Republicans and MAGA supporters are angry, sometimes furious, about what is going on in this country. Trump has tapped into that outrage, and it is a source of his political strength. But the anger isn't directed into violence, but political activism and support for a movement to restore sanity to our country. Nobody is plotting to "eliminate" Democrats, as has been suggested about Trump. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/07/15/the-dog-that-didnt-bark-n3791791

The Immaculate Conception of Thomas Crooks Had Saturday’s assassination attempt been carried out against President Joe Biden, we have no doubt we would have read about how the right’s dangerous rhetoric was behind it. We are old enough to remember more than a decade back when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs imagery to identify congressional districts—or, as the Atlantic’s James Fallows put it, "extreme, implicitly violent political rhetoric and imagery"—was fingered as an incitement for former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s (D., Ariz.) shooter. (He was, in fact, a deranged individual with no discernible motivation, political or otherwise.) We could go on: The media fatuously attributed a Georgia spa shooting in 2021 to right-wing, anti-Asian hatred while the motivations of the left-wing lunatic who almost took out Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) and other Republican lawmakers on a baseball field in 2017 went studiously unexamined. Plenty of poisonous rhetoric has been flying around on the left for the past decade. Biden is waging a campaign whose only argument, expressed with intermittent coherency, is that democracy is on the ballot. "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bull’s eye," Biden told donors last week. Even in the 2022 midterms he was scaremongering in front of Washington, D.C.’s Union Station, telling voters that the race was about "democracy itself" and a Republican victory would "allow dark forces to thirst," whatever that means. The New Republic and others compare former president Donald Trump to Hitler. We don’t know whether those moronic and misguided talking points led Thomas Crooks to try to assassinate Trump, but there are a few things we do know. The Democratic Party has bathed itself in violent and hysterical rhetoric about Trump. See above. And yet, the Democratic Party has consistently egged on Trump in the belief that he is the weakest possible standard bearer for the GOP. Trump is a force of nature, a unique political talent, and a showman who at the moment of maximum danger yesterday was at his finest. As it turns out, the Republican primary voters who nominated him see things clearly. The media are a spectacularly incompetent and ineffectual arm of the Democratic Party that has done more to empower Trump’s rise and resurrection than any other institution in American life. Their raison d’etre is defeating Trump and they’re about to go 1 for 3. The ultimate dissonance comes from the well wishes of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and other pooh-bas of the Democratic Party. "Get well soon, Donald, so you can get back to destroying our democracy!" Either they didn’t actually believe their self-interested talking points about Trump the tyrant or they are coming to the realization that the public doesn’t buy it. https://freebeacon.com/democrats/the-immaculate-conception-of-thomas-crooks/

Tell Us Again. Who is Inciting Violence Now? Barely one week ago, Joe Biden told his donors that “it's time to put Trump in the bull's-eye.” Looks like someone took him seriously. While I'm sure Biden will say this was not his intent, these careless remarks once again demonstrate that his current mental state is downright dangerous to America, to its national security, and now, unfortunately, to those attempting to save our great republic. There is absolutely no excuse. The corporate left-wing media has played a significant role in shaping the public’s perception of Donald Trump, often demonizing him and drawing dangerous comparisons to historical figures like Adolf Hitler. This type of inflammatory reporting only serves to stoke the fires of division and hatred. Donald Trump, a staunch constitutionalist, is campaigning for re-election with the goal of preserving our republic, restoring law and order, stabilizing and restoring a prosperous economy, and ensuring our constitutional rights and freedoms for our children. His dedication to this cause has made him a target for those who oppose this vision for America. https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/from-bull-s-eye-to-bullets-whos-inciting-violence-now .

But they didn't. Only Congress can use a special prosecutor. Unconstitutional Mr. Smith. .

I know it won't be but I wish it was Gov. Desantis. Has the longest, most successful record of fighting the Left.

An Assassination Attempt on Trump Has Been the Dems' Goal All Along STEPHEN KRUISER Some part of me would like to say that the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was "shocking," but it really wasn't. It was awful and depressing, of course, but I can't say that I was shocked. The Democrats have done everything they could since 2016 to make last Saturday happen, dutifully aided and abetted by their flying monkeys in the mainstream media. I use word unhinged a lot when writing about the Left, not because I have a limited vocabulary, but because it's the most accurate description of the way that they have been behaving since Trump was elected. Matt wrote yesterday that Tucker Carlson had predicted this last year: “If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment and none of them work. What’s next? Graph it out, man. We’re speeding towards assassination, obviously," he said in an interview with comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla. I had forgotten all about that. As Matt's post details, the MSM hacks were all over Carlson for that, calling it a conspiracy theory. If there is one thing that we on the Right have learned since the pandemic, it's that "conspiracy theory" is leftist code for "They're correct, but we can't admit that." The reaction from the Left has been pathetic and predictable. There have been a lot of variations of "Well, he kind of brought this on himself." David Frum vomited up some drivel at The Atlantic where he tried to draw a line connecting Trump supporters who legally open carry at rallies and the guy who tried to kill Trump. The New York Times Editorial Board wrote an Opinion piece titled "The Attack On Trump Is Antithetical to America," which is rich coming from a group of people who preside over a stable of columnists who regularly compare Trump to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, while telling everyone that a Trump election will destroy democracy. They keep the Trump hate turned up to 11 at the Times all day, every day. Democrats and their media lapdogs can continue to pretend that they don't condone violence, but hateful rhetoric about Donald Trump has been their brand for eight years now. Let's not forget the generous assist that they have been getting from the Never Trumpers all this time. We can be grateful that Trump survived while we mourn the tragic death of Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family. As for the calls from the Left to tone things down, I won't be holding my breath while waiting for that to happen. https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2024/07/15/the-morning-briefing-an-assassination-attempt-on-trump-has-been-the-dems-goal-all-along-n4930694 .
