Toning Down the Dangerous Rhetoric Didn’t Last Long

 Just a few short days after a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, and after Democratic political leaders and their media accomplices expressed "Horror" at the attempted assassination, urged that the political rhetoric be toned down, and called for "Unity," they are right back at it - calling Trump a danger to democracy.

Eric Levitz, writing in Vox, remarks that the attempted assassination should not cow Trump's critics who rightly call him a threat to democracy.

The New Republic, which featured a cover with Trump as Hitler, says that after being shot at the Pennsylvania rally, "Trump is a bigger threat to American democracy than ever before." David Farris, writing in Slate, says "Trump is still as dangerous as he has ever been." The Left and the Democrats are doubling down on the "Threat to democracy" rhetoric, as if that is all they have.

" In an essay in City Journal, Heather Mac Donald admits to having felt "a sense of dread that Trump would be assassinated, in light of the nonstop, ubiquitous rhetoric against him." Mac Donald believes that calls for toning down the ugly rhetoric "Are unlikely to go far." Many Democrats actually seem to believe that "Trump is the next coming of Hitler." Trump occupied the office of president for four years, and there was nothing he did that was "Fascist," or dictatorial, or that "Threatened democracy," but the Democrats and their media allies have constructed a narrative that they cannot afford to abandon.

Joe Trippi, a Democratic consultant, summarized the heart of Biden's campaign: "The reality is Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, period." Princeton University history professor Eddie Glaude urged Democrats to "Continue to tell the truth about the danger [Trump] presents." "The fact that there was an attempt on his life," Glaude continued, "Does not change the threat Trump poses to American democracy." There will be no unity.

The rhetoric comparing Trump to Hitler, and calling him a dictator and threat to democracy will continue, just as if the assassination attempt never happened.

With the polls showing Trump leading in most of the battleground states, and even threatening to upset Biden in Nevada and Virginia, in the wake of Biden's miserable and, frankly, scary debate performance, characterizing Trump as a threat to democracy may be their only hope - assuming enough voters believe them.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
