@geraldposner Only three left-wing attacks in 2020? It seemed as if a Federal Building was being attacked every other week from Memorial Day to Thanksgiving.

🚨 WSJ bombshell: Antigovernment violence in America just hit a 30-year high—the “Year of the Molotov Cocktail.” For the first time in 20 years, the progressive Left is the most violent side. By a considerable margin. The data doesn’t lie. The radical left has a serious violence problem. Paywall-free 🔗 wsj.com/politics/polic…

@AndrewKolvet Not the first. Nikita Casap murdered his parents Feb 2025 to fund an assassination attempt. Crooks & Routh were also sane but radicalized by media.

Greg Gutfeld just delivered the single most succinct and cutting indictment of the leftwing media's complicity in Saturday's WHCD attack: "This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW." "I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness." "He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders." Greg nails it.

@TimOnPoint Graham Platner famously trained antifa militia. No one has asked the SRA about the training, eg. who was the enemy they trained to fight? A foreign terror group? A domestic opponent (eg. Proud Boys)? The federal government?

Trump’s attacker isn’t deranged and disconnected, he is an engaged, rational soldier for the Left. Democrats and their drone media labeled President Trump “Hitler,” and this Cal Tech graduate took the only logical next step—to get rid of “Hitler.” Greg Gutfeld is 100% correct. x.com/AndrewKolvet/s…

@jimgeraghty I made this point on a different tweet yesterday. I've yet to see a photo of Mangione from a bad angle or looking pathetic, awkward, uncomfortable. They exist for everyone, but the press discards them in favor The Narrative, with an eye toward jury nullification or copycats.

You know exactly what Luigi Mangione looks like, and what he did. You probably have no idea who Edward Scott Huffman, Briana Boston, Ryan English, Cody Balmer, Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, Tina Lai, Micah Legnon, Chamel Abdulkarim, Daniel Moreno-Gama are, what they look like, and what they have done.

@SenRonJohnson @OIGatHHS Many people involved in the Hillary 2016 presidential campaign & the Mueller Russiagate investigation should have been arrested & charged in similar fashion.

More than two years ago, my PSI staff discovered and made public emails in which Dr. David Morens bragged to colleagues about his efforts to avoid transparency by destroying federal records and using his personal email to communicate on “sensitive issues.” Today, @OIGatHHS announced that Dr. Morens has been arrested and charged with conspiracy and destruction of federal records. I applaud OIG’s new leadership for taking this much needed step forward to hold Dr. Morens accountable.

@jimgeraghty Scary to think that one of Graham Platner’s antifa militia platoons could’ve reserved 30 separate rooms at the Hilton, assembled, & forced their way into the WHCD.

In a development that is sure to raise a furor, Janet Mills’s defiance of the state’s Democratic state legislative majority may be seen as a de facto surrender to her rival in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, Graham Platner. It’s been a while since Mills led a poll in that primary, a fact that no doubt has Platner thumping his chest and feeling some Schadenfreude, believing he has captured the zeitgeist and proven himself the Übermensch.

@sgallz_ Has any journalist interviewed members of the SRA re: the nature of the training? E.g. who was the enemy they trained to fight? A foreign terror group? A domestic opponent (eg. Proud Boys)? The federal government? @steverob @themainewire @politico

And this... politico.com/news/2025/10/1…

🚨Graham Platner trained Maine's "Socialist Rifle Association" on paramilitary tactics... He also: -Called himself an "antifa supersoldier" -Said "an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice" -Told people to "fight fascism with a good semi-automatic rifle"

@GenerallyLeMay @politicalmath @redsteeze Which incident that wasn’t an Trump assassination attempt brought the “shots fired” tally to 4?

@politicalmath @redsteeze Number of times Secret Service discharged a weapon to protect the president: Trump: 4 Biden: 0 Obama: 0 G.W. Bush: 0 Clinton: 0 G.H.W. Bush: 0 Reagan: 0 Carter: 0 Ford: 0 Nixon: 0 L.B. Johnson: 0 Kennedy: 0 Eisenhower: 0 Truman: 1 Roosevelt: 0 Coolidge: 0 Harding: 0 Wilson: 0

The 11 Obama "assassination attempts" include (not making this up) - a Hispanic man shot 25 rounds at the White House from his truck when Obama was in another state - an accountant was at a waffle house when he said he wanted to kill Obama - an extremist Irish Islamist gave an interview to a major newspaper and said he wished that he could assassinate Obama - a "death ray" plot in which 2 rednecks planned to use x-rays to kills Obama (and also Jews) - a Walking Dead actress sent Obama a letter with ricin in an attempt to incriminate her husband

@micsolana I agree. I have yet to see a “lame” photo of Luigi Mangione. Photos or vid of him frog marching around would have a huge deterrent effect.

this is not a joke btw. psychopathic political influencers turned luigi mangione into a new heroic archetype. the image is rooted in "cool." shame is the only thing that can really do damage to these people now. what happens to them needs to be unimaginably mortifying.

every would-be assassin should be wrapped in aluminum foil and positioned for photos like a gay baked potato. they should tour him around the country so we can all come see the gay baked potato before his public floggings, and throw vegetables.

@CynicalPublius Scary to think that one of Graham Platner’s antifa militia platoons could’ve reserved 30 separate rooms, assembled, & forced their way into the WHCD.

Let me explain the four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence: 1. Rightwing violence comes from the fringes of the conservative movement. Leftwing violence comes from the mainstream of the progressive movement. 2. Conservatives rarely encourage or glorify rightwing violence. Progressives routinely encourage and glorify leftwing violence. 3. Leftwing violence is such a common event that we hardly take notice of it unless it involves assassinating a major political figure--think of how routine Antifa/BLM style destruction of our cities has become. Rightwing violence is notable in its rarity. 4. Leftwing violence is often falsely attributed in the mass media to conservative beliefs. The opposite never happens.

@AaronBMacLean @DouglasKMurray @schoolofwarpod Scary to think that 1 of Graham Platner’s antifa militia platoons could’ve reserved 30 separate rooms, assembled, & forced their way into the WHCD.

Coming very soon: @DouglasKMurray and I were both witness to the chaos at Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner. We’ll discuss the shooting and the normalization of political violence in America on @schoolofwarpod, dropping imminently.

@Commentary @NRO @NoahCRothman Scary to think that 1 of Graham Platner’s antifa militia platoons could’ve reserved 30 separate rooms, assembled, & shot their way into WHCD. @jpodhoretz @elianayjohnson @SethAMandel

LISTEN: @NRO’s @NoahCRothman joins us from his vacation to discuss the attempted assassination of Trump and the media coverage of the incident and the shooter Cole Allen’s manifesto. commentary.org/noam-blum/viol…

@Commentary @NRO @NoahCRothman Weird that we are at war with #1 terror sponsoring nation & we let VP (#2) & Speaker (#3) attend a frivolous event w Trump. Hello, President Grassley! @jpodhoretz

@Commentary @NRO @NoahCRothman Cole Allen thought he was one of the heroes in One Battle After Another but is now realizing he’s the villain in Death By Lightning. @jpodhoretz @SethAMandel

@SeanTrende Were mainstream politicians, celebrities, variety show hosts, or news icons calling abortion a holocaust in the 90s? I'm in my 50s & am a news junkie - I don't recall that level of rhetoric compared to today.

In the 90s, a popular liberal argument was all pro-lifers shared blame for clinic bombings, since they grew from the claim abortion was murder. It was a bad argument intended to shut up pro-lifers. Cons are doing their own version. The only person to blame here is the assassin.

@LargeFamDad I saw so many of my generation's women (Gen X) seduced by the Sex & the City lifestyle that even the author wound up disavowing. Now Millenial & Gen Z women are being led into the Angry Woke lifestyle that began under pied piper Obama. So much happiness forsaken.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

@letsgoskatepool @grok @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea There is a range of options of which deportation was likely the most appropriate, given the children. I won't hold my breath for an apology or admission of error from you, but I'm done playing "I'm rubber, you're glue" with you. Good luck

@protagonist2012 @grok @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea Yet a Republican run DOJ didn’t charge the wife 🤔 Sounds more like a politician blowing really hard on Fox News where he won’t be challenged.

Buried many paragraphs deep: The dad in this Egyptian family is the jihadist who firebombed Jews in Boulder CO during a vigil for Israeli hostages. Dad murdered a Holocaust survivor.

@letsgoskatepool @grok @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea Not accepting your bullshit framing doesn't make someone an ignoramus. This is how the Left works, folks: stop enforcing laws or appropriate oversight, and convince your gullible foot soldiers that illegal acts are legal.

@grok @protagonist2012 @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea Check your data. The asylum case was filed in 2022 and was an affirmative filing.

@letsgoskatepool @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea @grok The family received full due process and was issued a final order of removal on December 29, 2025. They appealed the judge's decision. The board of appeals upheld the final order of removal on April 22, 2026. Everything else is cope.

@protagonist2012 @guypbenson @TheJewishIdea They’re not here illegally. @grok please educate this ignoramous
