Opinion
As JRB’s embarrassing departure from the presidential race seems increasingly imminent (despite his repeated insistence that he’ll continue his campaign, at least until yesterday). The DNC Convention in Chicago (scheduled for next month) is promising to be war-ridden, both inside and out, and with each passing day, getting a Democrat’s name on the presidential ballot (other than JRB’s) in many states is becoming close to impossible, panic is setting in!
Democrats at the highest level morbidly fear catastrophic losses in both houses of Congress come November, not to mention the Presidency (which they’ve pretty much already written off).
In their panic, we’ll be hearing from the mouths of Democrat politicians, as well as leftists in the media and in Hollywood, overt calls for political violence directed at all who can be identified as “political adversaries!”
To Marxists, seizing and consolidating political power (by any means) for themselves represents their only real priority, and that has ever been the case since Karl Marx first spouted his anti-freedom rhetoric in the late 1800s.
To Marxists, violence is thus an ethical, political tool they can and should (and have) legitimately use in order to hang onto power when they cannot retain it any other way.
This is frightening!
Between now and November, I believe we’ll hear Democrat politicians subtly (maybe not so subtly) hinting that violent, indeed lethal, attacks upon political antagonists are “approved.” Many among the volatile and unstable will take that literally!
We can do little to influence events at the national level, but we can take precautions at the personal level to keep ourselves from harm.
1) All political activity is dangerous and exposes one to precipitous political violence!
Understand that overtly working on behalf of a particular candidate, on any level, carries with it significant personal risk. I know many will step-up to the plate anyway, regardless of risk, and bless them for it. But, there are still many among the naive who believe political activity in this country is risk-free.
It has never been risk-free, but it is far more dangerous this season than ever before, at least in my lifetime.
2) Political gatherings/meetings/rallies are particularly dangerous!
Attending political rallies, in person, is something I especially do not recommend. My advice is to find other ways to manifest your support.
3) A low personal and political profile will prevent unwanted confrontations.
Political bumper-stickers, baseball caps, T-shirts, lawn-signs, banners, etc I concede are all a traditional part of our “election seasons,” but this election year I recommend against all of it!
Being visually identifiable as an advocate for a particular political candidate/party/issue is not in your best interests, in my opinion. Such “flags” will attract unsavory, maybe violent, personal contacts. Again, my advice is to find other (less denotative) ways to show your support.
4) Our metro areas can look forward to violent, destructive rioting (even more so than “normal”).
Don’t get inadvertently caught in the middle of one. Pay attention to what is going on in the places where you find yourself. Always have an emergency-exit plan!
Our nation and the world in general are anything but “stable” right now. Smart Operators never hesitate to make appropriate and timely adjustments to their personal plans, profiles, and lifestyles as necessitated by circumstances.
Loudly the bell in the old tower rings
Biding us listen to the warning it brings.
Sailor, take care!
Sailor, take care!
Danger is near thee, beware! Beware!
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep so beware!
Beware!
From “Asleep in the Deep,” written in 1897 by Arthur Lamb, and put to music by Henry Petrie.

I have not heard them blaming the assassination attempt on Iran. I have heard that secret service was on elevated alert due to intelligence that Iranian operatives were planning something.
From my perspective this makes their failure much worse. If they screw up this badly when warned of imminent attack – do they provide any security at all in normal times?
Idiot shooter may well have done Trump a favor as I think it prompted greater security awareness – which may well forestall Iranian’s plans.
not a surprise
Yeah right! That means that Blackrock and the kid were in cahoots with Iran. Not believing that. They figure that WE the people are gonna buy that? They are just trying to take the pressure off the Secret Service, the justice department and homeland security. Inept, totally non-american organizations, that wanted Trump dead, anyway. If you can’t beat him, allow someone to kill him. Where is that Journal from? DC? Yeah I believe that one…..NOT!
likely miss information put out by fib I mean fbi
If there is anyone out there who still believes that the attempted Trump assassination is not government approved, sanctioned and ordered I have some ocean front property just outside of Phoenix, Az. I would like to sell you. This was a government sanctioned hit and nobody is above suspicion; potus, obama, shumer and others including the friend of Jill Biden the head of the secret service. How convenient it was that several in Trumps security detail were pulled to go to Jill on the same day. How convenient it was that several in the detail present with Trump were obviously… Read more »

Uh! I believe that Obi’DUMB already called for the assignation of a previous president? There was no hinting there. The left wants all republicans dead MAGA or not.
