Breaking Down the Would-Be Assassin’s Manifesto

Breaking Down the Would-Be Assassin’s Manifesto

In the wake of Saturday’s most recent assassination attempt on the life of President Trump, former President Barack Obama posted on Sunday a social media statement in which he declared that “we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind [the] shooting.” Apparently he didn’t read the failed assassin’s manifesto, which The New York Post published in full – 1052 words he sent to family members just 10 minutes or so before he barreled through a security cordon toward the room in which Trump, administration officials such as Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller, and other guests attended the White House Correspondents Dinner.

The Hypocrisy of the ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ Contingent

The Hypocrisy of the ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ Contingent

The signs are less common now where I live, but once they were everywhere. “Hate has no home here,” in large letters, usually against the same blue background common to the Democrats’ election signs. Scattered around the main lettering, the same phrase repeated in multiple languages, although never in the language of those Americans whose ancestry was European. Moreover, one couldn’t help noticing that, during an election season, the signs would be joined by “Vote for…” followed by the name of whichever Democrats were in the race.

Assassination, Normalized: WHCD Gunman Radicalized by Mainstream Dems, Not Left-Wing Streamers

Assassination, Normalized: WHCD Gunman Radicalized by Mainstream Dems, Not Left-Wing Streamers

Cole Tomas Allen, the gunman who tried to murder President Donald Trump and other senior officials at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday, is the latest would-be assassin whose radicalization owes less to the juvenile rantings of left-wing influencers than to the everyday rhetoric of mainstream Democrats and media figures.

Many have pointed out that just days before the failed assassination, the New York Times hosted a roundtable discussion in which radical left-wing pundits Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino endorsed shoplifting and other crimes while expressing sympathy for Luigi Mangione, the gunman accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

‘It’s bizarre’: Californians grapple with revelation that suspected Trump gunman suspect was neighbour

‘It’s bizarre’: Californians grapple with revelation that suspected Trump gunman suspect was neighbour

The man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at a Washington dinner lived with his parents in a quiet coastal suburb of Los Angeles.

Some people here lovingly refer to the city of Torrance, known for its good schools, ocean breezes and million-dollar homes, as “Bore-ance” because nothing much ever happens.

Cole Thomas Allen’s neighbours in the community told the BBC they were shocked to see his face on TV – handcuffed, topless and face down on the ground of the Hilton Hotel after allegedly coming armed to Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The bougie nihilism that is killing America

The bougie nihilism that is killing America

People are bemused that the man who allegedly rushed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with all guns blazing was a teacher. Why? It should be common knowledge by now that a not insignificant number of American teachers go weak-kneed for a spot of political violence. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September last year, teachers all over America were sacked or placed on leave for dancing on his grave before it had even been dug.

Why Assassins Almost Always Go After Republicans

Why Assassins Almost Always Go After Republicans

Democrats have created a permission structure for all types of political violence.

During a press conference held shortly after an armed gunman ran through a security barrier at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with the obvious intention of shooting President Trump and other members of his administration, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked this question: “Respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?” Trump answered, “The people who do the most, the people who have the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.” And by “they,” Trump meant Democrats. He has, for obvious reasons, studied presidential assassinations and knows that all but one of the victims were Republicans.


That’s a lot of stolen booze…

With Angry Rhetoric Soaring, the ‘Luigi Left’ Finds a New Champion in Shooter at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

It didn’t take long for the camaraderie that embodied the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner to evaporate after thousands of individuals online cheered President Trump’s would-be assassin and compared him favorably to another alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione.Shortly after the Saturday night shooting, President Trump expressed support for the press corps that he has openly and frequently disdained. He encouraged members of the nation’s premiere media association to organize a quick redo of the annual black-tie fête affectionately known as Washington’s “Nerd Prom.”But the goodwill ended shortly after the release of details about the alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen.

‘Shots Fired!’: Inside the Pandemonium at the Washington Hilton

‘Shots Fired!’: Inside the Pandemonium at the Washington Hilton

A man armed with knives, a shotgun and a handgun was barreling through security at a full sprint, heading toward the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.

At that moment on Saturday night, President Trump and many of America’s top government officials and journalists were one floor down, crammed into the ballroom for a black-tie dinner. The mentalist Oz Pearlman, the night’s entertainer, was leaning over Mr. Trump and the first lady, demonstrating one of his mind-reading tricks by trying to guess the name that the White House press secretary had picked out for her baby, due to be born any day.

Washington hotel shooting raises questions about Trump security

Washington hotel shooting raises questions about Trump security

“I can’t imagine that there’s any profession that is more dangerous,” President Donald Trump told reporters, just hours after he was at the centre of yet another major security incident.

While a small army of Secret Service agents make the president arguably the world’s most protected person, keeping him safe is proving to be no easy task.

First there was the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 2024 in which a bullet grazed his ear. Just 64 days later, Trump was again the target of a would-be assassin as he played a round on his Florida golf course.
