Nearly 3 in 10 Democrats polled say it 'would be better if Trump had been killed'



A damning new poll revealed Wednesday that nearly one in three Democrats would have preferred to see Kamala Harris' political opponent gunned down in cold blood on Sunday.

Scott Rasmussen's RMG Research conducted an online survey of 1,000 registered voters for the Napolitan News Service earlier this week to gauge the public's response to the latest known attempt on the life of President Donald Trump.

The super-majority of respondents indicated they were paying somewhat or very close attention to the latest news about the second assassination attempt against Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

When asked whether U.S. government agencies were involved in the murder plot, 37% of respondents said it was very or somewhat likely.

Thirty-four percent of respondents figured the Democratic Party or the Harris campaign were involved; 33% suggested foreign governments were involved; and 33% suggested that Trump himself or his campaign orchestrated the elaborate attempt to have a Democratic donor allegedly wait in ambush for 12 hours with a high-powered rifle.

A majority of respondents (54%) suggested Trump had "used overheated language that might encourage some people to act violently"; 35% blamed CNN and MSNBC; and 33% suggested Harris was an inciter.

However, when asked which one played a role in specifically encouraging the assassination attempts on Trump, 45% of respondents blamed anti-Trump rhetoric; 41% blamed the media; 30% blamed the victim's campaign; 25% blamed Harris' campaign; and 18% attributed the attempts to other reasons.

The question with the most staggering results was: "While it is always difficult to wish ill of another human being, would America be better off if Donald Trump had been killed last weekend?"

Sixty-nine percent of respondents said no, and 14% said they were not sure.

Seventeen percent of respondents said it would have been better for Trump to have been slaughtered on the green.

'These numbers suggest that the phase of getting worse is clearly upon us.'

The Napolitan News Service highlighted that a staggering 28% of Democrats had answered "yes."

Only 47% of Democratic respondents indicated America would not benefit from the assassination of the Republican candidate for president; 25% said they weren't sure.

Scott Rasmussen said, "It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered."

Rasmussen appears to have been referencing the Democrat talking point recycled ad nauseam in recent years regarding the supposed threat Trump poses to democracy.

Harris, President Joe Biden, the Democratic National Committee, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are among the many Democrats who have called Trump a "threat to our democracy" while their allies worked to silence the Republican, throw him in prison, and strike his name from the ballot.

When broken down by race, it appears Hispanic respondents disproportionately would like to have seen Trump murdered: 30% of Hispanics answered yes whereas only 14% of whites and 19% of blacks voiced support for the political assassination.

"I continue to believe that America's best days are still to come," Rasmussen said. "However, for years I've been saying that things will get worse before they get better. These numbers suggest that the phase of getting worse is clearly upon us."

While things may be getting worse, Democrats indicated years ago they were already primed for nightmarish extremes.

Whereas Democrats are now disproportionately expressing support for the murder of Trump, during the pandemic, they were disproportionately signaling support for the imprisonment of the unvaccinated and the confiscation of their children.

In a Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of 1,016 likely voters conducted in January 2022, pollsters asked, "Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus by having federal or state governments require that citizens temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine?"

Whereas 71% of all voters — and 84% of Republicans — signaled opposition to throwing the unvaccinated in quarantine camps, 45% of Democrats said they strongly or somewhat favored the proposal.

According to the same poll, 48% of Democrats supported federal or sate governments fining or imprisoning Americans who questioned the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines on social media, TV, radio, or in digital publications.

Whereas 80% of respondents said they somewhat or strongly opposed the proposal of taking children away from parents who refuse to take the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, 29% of Democrats signaled support for breaking up such families.

Taliban celebrates 3rd anniversary of botched Biden-Harris withdrawal, parading around in American vehicles



The Taliban took to the streets of Kabul Wednesday to celebrate the third anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Adding insult to injury, the Islamic extremists paraded around the former U.S. Bagram Air Base with the expensive U.S. weaponry and vehicles that were abandoned along with American citizens during the rushed exit — an exit Kamala Harris once boasted cosigning and President Joe Biden deemed an "extraordinary success."

Joined by Iranian and communist Chinese diplomats, Taliban officials who have yet to be recognized internationally gave speeches about the significance of their Aug. 15, 2021, reconquest of Kabul, bragging both about advancing Islamic law and about developing "peace and security" by means of a burgeoning military system, reported the Associated Press.

"The Islamic Emirate eliminated internal differences and expanded the scope of unity and cooperation in the country," said Mohammed Abdul Kabir, a senior Taliban military official now serving as the acting third deputy prime minister for political affairs. "No one will be allowed to interfere in internal affairs, and Afghan soil will not be used against any country."

Whereas the Islamic extremists suggested Afghanistan has thrived in recent years, the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan noted Wednesday that religious minorities, women, journalists, former government security officials, and other groups have been subjected over these past three years to "serious and targeted human rights violations by the Taliban. These include arbitrary arrests and detentions, unlawful killings, acts tantamount to enforced disappearance, rape and other crimes of sexual violence, and torture and ill-treatment."

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) noted that footage of a Taliban military parade involving American equipment serves as a "stark reminder that the Biden-Harris Administration chose to arm the Taliban and leave behind American soldiers."

"We will never forget the devastating consequences of the White House's reckless withdrawal from Afghanistan," added Johnson.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote, "Infuriating. This was Kamala Harris's gift to the Taliban."

The Pentagon confirmed that over $7 billion worth of military equipment was effectively left behind for the Taliban.

'Kamala Harris was the last person in the room with Joe Biden when he made the disastrous decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.'

Blaze News previously reported that one intelligence assessment estimated that 2,000 armored vehicles and 40 aircraft including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones were left behind for the Taliban.

Last year, the House Budget Committee noted that an additional 181,640 air-to-ground munitions and 50,150 practice munitions were left behind along with 9,200 guidance, control, assemblies, fuses, or launchers; "'nearly all' night vision, surveillance, 'biometric and positioning equipment' totaling nearly 42,000 pieces of specialized equipment"; and "'nearly all' of the communications equipment, including base-station, mobile, man-portable and hand-held commercial and military radio systems, and associated transmitters and encryption devices."

These figures don't include all of the American weapons the Taliban inevitably lifted from those Afghan forces that were ultimately left at the mercy of the extremists.

The special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction revealed that from 2017 to 2019, the U.S. gave Afghan forces over 7,000 machine guns, 4,702 Humvees, 20,040 hand grenades, 2,520 bombs, and 1,394 grenade launchers. Ahead of the withdrawal, the U.S. also supplied Afghan forces with 211 aircraft.

Far more was lost than weapons during the Biden-Harris withdrawal.

Amid the confusion, an Islamic terrorist — who reportedly had been released amid the chaos just days earlier from the Parwan prison at Bagram Air Base — detonated a suicide bomb on Aug. 26, 2021, at Abbey Gate, the last route open for Afghans into the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

The ISIS-Khorasan suicide bombing killed 11 Marines, a solider, and a sailor: Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui; Marine Lance Cpl. David Lee Espinoza; Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee; Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover; Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss; Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez; Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum; Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola; Marine Sgt. Johanny Rosariopichardo; Marine Cpl. Humberto Sanchez; Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz; Navy Hospitalman Maxton Soviak; and Marine Cpl. Daegan William-Tyeler Page.

The attack also left 45 other service members wounded and killed at least 170 Afghan civilians.

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said in a Thursday statement, "Today marks three years since the Biden-Harris Administration's colossal failure in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Americans must never forget the 13 service members who lost their lives and the Gold Star families they left behind in this completely preventable tragedy. We honor their lives and their sacrifices, and we must continue to demand answers, transparency, and accountability."

Stefanik noted further that "Kamala Harris was the last person in the room with Joe Biden when he made the disastrous decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Kamala Harris owns this catastrophic withdrawal and proves just how incompetent, incapable, and dangerous she would be as our nation's commander in chief."

Harris confirmed to CNN in April 2021 that she was the last person in the room after Biden decided on his particular withdrawal scheme and noted she felt comfortable with the decision.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted Thursday, "Three years ago today, Kabul fell into the hands of the Taliban. Kamala Harris needs to answer questions about her role in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan."

Southern Poverty Law Center has 'gutted its staff' despite nearly $1 billion in reserves, union says



The Southern Poverty Law Center has "gutted its staff" despite nearly $1 billion in reserves, its union said.

The SPLC Union on Wednesday posted the following to X: "Today, @splcenter — an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for 'hoarding' donations — gutted its staff by a quarter."

'The organization has sometimes been criticized for its aggressive fundraising tactics. In 2022, the organization reported having $711 million in assets and receiving more than $100 million in donations each year since 2019.'

The union added, "SPLC’s decision has a catastrophic impact on the organization’s work in support of immigrants seeking justice and its mission to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance human rights through support of educators."

The union added a dozen subsequent posts on X. One of them noted, "More than 60 SPLC Union members, including five Union stewards and our Union Chair, were informed that they would be losing their jobs. We are devastated for our Union and for our colleagues."

Another said, "The layoffs of all 16 staff in the Southern Immigrant Freedom Initiative and its office closure will decimate free legal representation to detained immigrants across Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi." Another added, "The dismantling of the full Immigrant Justice team ends SPLC’s decade-long commitment to the rights of migrant workers and the deep coalition work to advocate for immigrants’ rights and decriminalize migration across the Southeast."

The Associated Press said the SPLC didn't confirm how many staffers were laid off but issued a statement saying it is "undergoing an organizational restructuring,” which will result in a staff reduction.

More from the AP:

The Montgomery, Alabama-based law center was founded in 1971 as a watchdog for minorities and the underprivileged. A decade later, the organization won a $7 million judgment against the United Klans of America on behalf of Beulah Mae Donald, whose son was killed by KKK members in Mobile. Over the years, the organization has advocated for expanding voting access, protections for immigrants and equal rights for members of the LGBTQ community. It has also maintained a list of extremist organizations.

The organization has sometimes been criticized for its aggressive fundraising tactics. In 2022, the organization reported having $711 million in assets and receiving more than $100 million in donations each year since 2019.

Employees of Southern Poverty Law Center voted to unionize in 2019. The employees voted to join the Washington-Baltimore News Guild.

Anything else?

Mainstream news outlets frequently cite the SPLC as the authority on what organizations are hate groups.

Fox News said the SPLC had to apologize after calling neurosurgeon and former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson an "extremist." The SPLC recently called Moms for Liberty an "anti-government extremist group."

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), in a scathing 2023 opinion piece, suggested that the SPLC's corruption and terror-links disqualified lawyer Nancy Abudu from serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals. President Joe Biden nominated Abudu, who supervised and strategized SPLC litigation since 2019. She began serving on the Eleventh Circuit on June 1, 2023.

An SPLC attorney was arrested for domestic terrorism in a group of 23 who allegedly violently attacked the future site of an Atlanta police training facility last year.

Elon Musk Resurfaces 7 Year-Old Warning That Predicted This New Danger

Elon Musk Resurfaces 7 Year-Old Warning That Predicted This New Danger

Until Republicans Use Power To Reward Their Friends And Punish Their Enemies, They’ll Always Lose

Conservative gatekeepers are content to let the left amass power for the sole purpose of harassing and even jailing those on the right.

Leftists Hate Natural Law Because It’s The Only True Bulwark Against Tyranny

Politico Reporter Heidi Przybyla made an unfair attack on people of faith — and also got wrong the entire foundation of our country.

KJP cannot provide straight answer about whether Biden considers anti-Israel protesters 'extremists'



The Biden White House is quick to call its conservative critics and political opponents "extremists" but appears unwilling to go so far when it comes to fanatical anti-Semitic leftists.

Fox News' Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday whether the anti-Israel protesters swarming college campuses and city squares across the nation constitute "extremists," at least where President Joe Biden is concerned. Although Jean-Pierre was prepared to slam former President Donald Trump and denounce anti-Semitism in the abstract, at no point during her labyrinthine answer could the press secretary bring herself to castigate potential Democratic voters.

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus group, the Coalition Against Apartheid, called the massacre of thousands of Israeli civilians earlier this month by Hamas a "response to the settler colonial regime." Other radicals at the university reportedly chanted, "One solution, intifada revolution," reported Fox News Digital.

Last week at New York University, hundreds of students including members of the Young Democratic Socialists of America staged an anti-Israel rally. Among the signs exhibited by demonstrators was one that said, "Where there is oppression, there will be resistance," insinuating that the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks were justified. Another sign showed a blue Star of David in a garbage can with the caption, "Please keep the world clean."

At least one Hamas flag made an appearance at another such rally in Minneapolis on Oct. 22, where an elderly man was viciously mobbed.

"Does President Biden think the anti-Israel protesters in this country are extremists?" asked Doocy.

"What I can say is what we've been very clear about this — when it comes to anti-Semitism, there is no place. We have to make sure that we speak against it very loud and be very clear about that," said Jean-Pierre.

The press secretary referenced the revisionist tale Biden often tells — in one instance twice in a row during the same fundraising speech — of how the geriatric Democrat decided to run for president after the August 2017 incident in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"He saw neo-Nazis marching down the streets of Charlottesville with vile, anti-Semitic, just hatred. And he was very clear then and he's very clear now. He's taken actions against this over the past two years. And he's continued to be clear: There is no place, no place for this type of vile ... and this kind of rhetoric," said Jean-Pierre.

Not having heard an answer to his question, Doocy noted that "extremists" is a word the Biden White House frequently employs, "usually about MAGA extremists."

For instance, on Sept. 1, 2022, Jean-Pierre felt confident telling the nation that conservatives with non-mainstream viewpoints are "extreme," captive to an "extreme way of thinking," reported the New York Post.

She went onto call "MAGA Republicans ... an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights."

That night, Biden took the stage at Independence Historical Park in Philadelphia and claimed, "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic."

Last month, Biden suggested Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville was an "extremist" over his principled stand against the Pentagon's abortion policy.

The president has also insinuated on multiple occasions that lawmakers' pro-life stances qualify them as extremists.

Doocy continued, asking, "So what about these protesters who are making Jewish students feel unsafe on college campuses? Are they extremists?"

"I've been very, very clear," said Jean-Pierre, who had yet to brand anti-Israel protesters with the term apparently reserved for pro-life lawmakers. "We are calling out any form of hate. Any form of hate. It is not acceptable. It should not be acceptable here, and we are going to continue to call that out. And let me be very clear, this is a president that has continued to have that fight in his office, in this administration, you know, when he repealed Trump's Muslim ban on his very first day in office."

"He also established an inter-policy committee to counter Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and related forms of bias and discrimination," continued Jean-Pierre. "We have taken this very, very, very seriously from the president all the way on down."

Doocy changed tack, asking whether Biden regards the anti-Israel protests as a positive sign of youth engagement in politics or a harbinger of doom.

"Here's the thing. There's no place for hate in America," replied Jean-Pierre, reiterating that the administration condemns anti-Semitism and that no student should live in fear.

Footage reportedly shows reinstated Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones holding up and assaulting a driver during BLM's 'Summer of Love'



Democratic state Rep. Justin Jones of Tennessee was reinstated to his position Monday after being expelled last week over his involvement in what Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) described as an "insurrection."

Hundreds of Jones' supporters swarmed the state House prior to Jones' reinstatement, threatening, "no Justin, no peace," reported WZTV-TV.

Shocking footage from 2020 has re-emerged this week indicating that, contrary to the protesters' suggestion, there's no guarantee of peace with Justin Jones back on the scene.

A history of violence

According to the Tennessean, Jones faced over 15 charges ranging from trespassing to assault during what former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan dubbed the "summer of love."

Among the charges: assault of an officer; resisting arrest; disrupting a meeting; disorderly conduct; criminal trespassing; obstruction of a passageway; and aggravated littering.

Davidson County General Sessions Judge Lynda Jones, a Democrat, reportedly dismissed or accepted a decision not to prosecute Jones' charges.
It would appear, therefore, that Jones got away with his alleged involvement in a violent June 2020 protest near the Tennessee Capitol.

Jones, who insisted that summer, "We must rise up, fight back," later claimed he was challenging "an entrenched white power structure."

The district attorney's office issued an indictment against Jones on two reckless endangerment charges, claiming he threw a traffic cone through the driver's side window of a moving car, striking the individual inside, reported the Tennessean.

Scoop Nashville, a local publication, shared a video of the incident, which appears to show several protesters initially holding up traffic.

While one individual pretends to have been injured by an idling vehicle, another person wearing a sun hat — identified as Jones — approaches the driver's side of a white truck and peers inside.As the driver attempts to circumnavigate the illegal blockade, the individual in the sunhat picks up a traffic cone and hurls it into the victim's face.

Trampling the law

In May 2020, Jones reportedly climbed atop a police cruiser along with another radical, Jeneisha Harris, amid an anti-cop protest in which a courthouse was set on fire, reported Fox News Digital.
It is unclear from footage of the incident whether Jones and Harris were attempting to incite the mob or secure a photo op. Charges for reckless endangerment were brought against them over the damage done.

Three hours after their issuance, however, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department recalled the warrants for Jones' and Harris' arrests.

Despite the recall, WZTV reported that 60 detectives had sorted through video and photographic evidence from the incident, establishing that the same police car Jones roosted on was the same that had been "significantly damaged," with its windows broken.

An attack on democracy

Jones attacked former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada on Feb. 28, 2019.
He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of disorderly conduct after throwing a coffee at Casada and Republican Rep. Debra Moody, reported the Tennessean.

The arrest report indicated that Jones fought past uniformed state troopers and screamed, "Casada is a racist," while winding up his unprovoked attack.

Jones was subsequently barred from the Capitol and ordered to avoid contact with both Casada and Moody.

Two days after a transsexual slaughtered 6 Christians, Democratic Rep. Katherine Clark says trans community 'is being forced to fight for its very existence'



Just days after six Christians were murdered in a brutal school shooting by a female transsexual, Democratic Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts gave a speech honoring the trans "community," which she claimed "is being forced to fight for its very existence."

Beyond honoring transsexuals, Clark, who serves as Democratic whip in the House, also denounced those who stand in the way of the full execution of the transsexual agenda, including the very groups ostensibly targeted in the Nashville shooting.

'Not one tragedy but two'

In the aftermath of the Covenant School shooting, a number of LGBT activists and trans advocacy groups vilified Republicans, religious institutions, and others. In a number of instances, they appeared keen to displace blame from the transsexual woman who murdered three children and three adults.

The LGBT lobby group Human Rights Campaign noted in its response to the atrocity, "We still don't know all of the facts about what happened in Nashville. We do know that every study available shows that transgender and non-binary people are much more likely to be the victims of violence, rather than the perpetrator of it."

TheBlaze previously reported that Madonna had decided in the aftermath of the shooting that it was an opportune time to state, "The oppression of the LGBTQ+ is not only unacceptable and inhumane; it's creating an unsafe environment," suggesting that it's becoming particularly unsafe for transsexuals.

The geriatric musician also announced she would perform in Nashville, with proceeds going to "trans rights" groups.

The Trans Resistance Network said in a statement that the incident in Nashville "is not one tragedy, but two," intimating that the child-killer should similarly be mourned.

The group also suggested that recent policies (i.e., Republican legislation protecting children from genital mutilations and hormone therapies) and criticisms of the trans agenda together amounted to a "genocidal eradication of trans people from society" and were at least partly to blame for the massacre.

The Trans Resistance Network went so far as to threaten, "Hate has consequences."

More polarizing rhetoric

Clark, whose "trans" son was charged in January for assaulting a police officer, echoed much of the activist groups' rhetoric in her speech Thursday in Congress.

The Massachusetts Democrat said that to stand in the way of transsexuals' happiness "is to stand against our most basic American values. But that's exactly what MAGA extremists are doing across this country — on school boards, in state Capitols, here in the halls of Congress."

Evincing no sense of irony, Clark claimed that Republicans are "waging an especially vicious crusade on our kids," adding members of the trans community have been subjected to "cruelty" by "right-wing extremists."

"Let's reject the forces of opposition and bigotry," said Clark. "Let's celebrate the bravery and beauty of our trans community."

Clark quoted a letter from a mother to her transitioning daughter, saying, "I know your strength, but I also know how determined the forces are that have pitted themselves against you, the politicians and preachers who would rather see you languish in a dark closet."

At no point in the speech did Clark mention the Nashville shooting or the lives — including that of a preacher's daughter — claimed therein.

\u201cRep. Katherine Clark, whose transgender kid was charged with assaulting a police officer, rails against "politicians and preachers" and "right wing extremists" for their "cruelty" against transgender people, just days after a crazed transgender person murdered six Christians.\u201d
— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1680099865

Clark was recently in the news after her son Jared Dowell, 23, was charged with assault and battery on a Boston police officer inflicting serious bodily injury, vandalizing a historic monument, damaging property by tagging, and resisting arrest.

TheBlaze reported that Dowell, whom his mother refers to as a daughter named "Riley," allegedly left an officer "bleeding from his nose and mouth."

Police had attempted to arrest the Democrat's son after they caught him allegedly vandalizing a monument with anti-police slogans.

Jared Dowell is not the only person in the family fond of provocative rhetoric.

While silent on the topic of transsexual child-killers, Clark has been a loud critic of her Republican colleagues in the House, calling them "extremists."

The Democratic whip reiterated this claim on St. Patrick's Day, stating, "The extremists are running it," in reference to the House Republicans and their majority in Congress.

If There’s A Theme To Extremism-Related Murders, It’s Environmentalism

The Anti-Defamation League and much of the corporate media are intent on construing any racist as a conservative right-winger -- but it's not true.
