He is unlikely to survive, but whether he does or not, it is not a coincidence that there have been assassination attempts on Kirk and Donald Trump while the Democratic Party and “the resistance” has claimed and is claiming that conservatives now place democracy at risk, with Democratic leaders calling for violent opposition, and large swathes of the political Left cheered the assassination of an insurance executive.

If this is not what the Left really wants, it is still what they have encouraged with their irresponsible fear-mongering and reckless rhetoric.

The Supreme Court this week overturned a federal judge’s order prohibiting ICE agents in Los Angeles from stopping people and questioning them about their immigration status based solely on factors like their ethnicity, their appearance, their language or accents and their places of work. If this isn’t “racial profiling,” which courts have found to be a breach of the 4th Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches an seizures, it sure is awfully close.

The 6-3 decision wasn’t signed and had no majority opinion. Justice Sotomayor, predictably (joined by the two other progressive women on the court) said in her typical dissent that “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.” And…

” After today, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little. Because this is unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees, I dissent.”

Republicans and conservatives have “pounced” on the fact that a brutal black-on-white murder in Charlotte, North Carolina that occurred on August 22 and was recorded on security video has received no publicity on Axis mainstream media outlets. (That’s how the event will be reported when the progressive, Democratic propaganda media organs finally have to mention the story.) August 22: that’s more than two weeks ago. The clip above captures the moment right before a career criminal, Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, who had 14 arrests on his record, slashed the throat of Iryna Zarutska, 23, on a light rail train in Charlotte, killing her almost instantly.

But it wasn’t news. Huh.

Charlotte embargoed the crime as long as it could, keeping the video secret. This is how the violent and insufficiently policed Democrat-run cities claim that violent crime is decreasing, I guess. Even after the horrific murder became (well, sort of) public, the NY Times, Washington Post…oh, you can name the rest by now, I hope…didn’t find that it was news fit to print or that darkness over the crime would harm democracy. Rasmussen reports wrote yesterday,

The United States Tennis Association asked broadcasters of the U.S. Open to censor any protests or negative reactions to President Donald Trump’s appearance at the men’s singles final today between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The President, an avowed tennis fan, was loudly booed when he last attended a match at the Open in his first term

Here’s the relevant section from the USTA email to U.S. Open broadcasters :

“With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony. We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”

There is no problem with the USTA making it clear to attendees that such demonstrations will, for example, result in removal from the stadium, but telling broadcasters not to report what, if anything, happens during their broadcasts is censorship, as well as asking the broadcasters to be complicit in a lie. The broadcasters, all of them, should tell the association to bite them.

The USTA will show Trump during the National Anthem, which “Bounce,” the tennis substack that is clearly infected with the Trump Derangement Virus and that first reported the memo, calls the playing of the anthem “one of the noisiest and bombastic portions of Sunday’s events” —nice—and describes the USTA’s request as “further complicity in broadcasting Trump’s desired stagecraft for his first appearance at the U.S. Open in a decade.”

Isn’t everyone sick of this attitude? The President of the United States has always engaged in public appearances that emphasize the importance and significance of the office, as well as embracing POTUS’s traditional role as “a human flag.” This isn’t “Trump’s stagecraft” nor is honoring the U.S. at a sporting event “bombastic” except to anti-American progressives like Ben Rothenberg, the writer of “Bounces.”

Sure, people like Rothenberg are the reason we have so many citizens who so revel in hating the elected President of the United states that they cannot be counted on to be civil when their nation’s leader appears in public. Nevertheless, journalists—and broadcasters of sports events are allegedly reporters—are ethically bound to report what happens no matter who it embarrasses or reveals to be an asshole.

1. To start off, let’s survey today’s headlines and anti-Trump spin at the President Trump Jeering Society, aka. The New York Times:

• Many Cities Say Yes to Federal Police Help, but No to ‘Occupation’

• Grand Juries in D.C. Reject Wave of Charges Under Trump’s Crackdown
• How Trump’s Blunt-Force Diplomacy Is Pushing His Rivals Together
• Three Opinion Writers on Whether Congress Can Rein in Trump [Note: All three are vocal anti-Trump pundits]
• Will Trump’s Caesarism Last? [Quote: “Barack Obama and George W. Bush were far more successful at consolidating presidential power, and Trump 1.0 mostly demonstrated that an inexperienced, incompetent president could still be pinned down like Gulliver….” Response: Well yes, when two partisan impeachments and a lengthy investigation weaponized by his Democratic predecessor effectively made it difficult for him to govern…]
• Will Trump Have to Run From the Economy?

• Second Weak Jobs Report Undercuts Trump’s Claims of a Booming Economy

There are no positive stories about the Administration in the Times at all. A few are arguably straight reporting, like “What Has the Trump Administration Gotten From Law Firms and Universities?”
