“In a stunning and alarming development, U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine Pirro confirmed that a woman traveling from New York to Washington, D.C., was arrested for plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump. According to Pirro, the suspect ‘was working to have him eliminated.’ She is now in custody and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
…
However, let’s be clear: this plot didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of years of deranged anti-Trump rhetoric from the Left, rhetoric that has gone unchallenged, unpunished, and in many cases, encouraged. Democrats have spent nearly a decade demonizing Trump and painting him as an existential threat to democracy. They’ve said he should be “removed,” “stopped,” “locked up,” and now, someone took that narrative to its logical and horrifying conclusion.

When Pirro said the woman would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, she meant it.

This attempted assassination underscores why Trump and Pirro’s crackdown on crime is so critical. Washington, D.C., under Democrat control, has become a symbol of unchecked lawlessness — with violent crime, looting, and assaults all on the rise.

“While the Minnesota legislature (and Fuddly governor)has been giving gun owners heartburn, the state’s judicial system has been delivering some surprisingly good opinions for Second Amendment supporters as of late.

Earlier this month the state Supreme Court ruled that Minnesota can’t prohibit the possession of unserialized firearms, at least not for firearms not required to be serialized under federal law. And earlier today, a judge in liberal Ramsey County struck down the state’s ban on binary triggers; not on Second Amendment grounds, but because of how the law was was passed. From the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, which filed suit over the ban:

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus secured a landmark constitutional victory today when Ramsey County District Court Judge Leonardo Castro struck down Minnesota’s binary trigger ban.

In Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus v. Walz, the court ruled that the Legislature violated the Minnesota Constitution’s single-subject rule by burying the ban deep inside the 1,400-page 2024 Tax Omnibus Bill.

The court permanently blocked enforcement of the ban.

‘Today, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus ended Minnesota’s binary trigger ban,’ said Bryan Strawser, Chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. ‘The Walz administration and anti-gun legislators tried to sneak an unconstitutional restriction into a massive omnibus bill. The court said no. Minnesota’s Constitution—not backroom deals—controls how laws are made in this state.’

‘The State has repeatedly tried to bury gun control provisions inside sprawling omnibus bills. Today’s ruling makes clear that this practice violates the Minnesota Constitution,’ said Rob Doar, Senior Vice President of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. “If lawmakers attempt to cram anti-gun measures into omnibus bills in the future, we will challenge them in court again—and our track record of victories should give them pause.’With today’s decision, the binary trigger ban is gone.The ruling reaffirms both the Second Amendment and Minnesotans’ constitutional right to transparent, single-subject lawmaking.

“Starting on September 1, municipalities and counties in Texas will no longer be allowed to waste money on gun “buyback” schemes, after Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that prohibits local governments from participating in the programs.

These compensated confiscation events have no demonstrable effect on public safety, but they’re popular with politicians who want to say they’re “doing something” to fight crime. And in El Paso County, officials decided to have one last gun roundup before the ban takes effect in a couple of weeks.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to save Oklahoma taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars every day through a program launched this year.

ICE announced on X August 15, ‘Oklahoma does not have any sanctuary cities and is undertaking an initiative to send criminal aliens from jails and prisons directly to ICE. All states could follow suit, eliminating the risks of criminal alien recidivism after incarceration. It just makes sense.’ If only more states made policies based on common sense. Now the $36,000 Oklahoma pays daily for the illegal aliens incarcerated in the state will dwindle until, hopefully, not a single illegal alien criminal is left.

ICE linked to an example of just one criminal set for deportation under the new program. Jorge Ramos-Guerra, 37, is an illegal alien from Mexico who had a Final Order of Removal on him since 1999. It took until now to apprehend him. Ramos-Guerra has a rap sheet that includes fentanyl trafficking, firearms possession, and also drug charges.

More than a quarter of a century after he should have been deported, Ramos-Guerra will no longer be allowed in the USA. It’s about d**n time.

The people of Bolivia went to the polls yesterday, and they did something they haven’t done in decades: They rejected socialism.
…
It took them nearly 10 years, but on Sunday, Bolivians made it clear that they are finished with Morales, socialism, and any candidate from the Move Toward Socialism party, including both the guys who’d been around for awhile and the fresh young faces who felt they could put lipstick on a pig — a pig called socialism — and make it appealing to voters.

None of the far-left candidates even reached double digits, while the three pro-capitalism, market-friendly candidates crushed them. Center-right Senator Rodrigo Paz earned 32.18% of the vote, while conservative Jorge ‘Tuto’ Quiroga earned 26.81%. A third right-wing candidate, businessman Samuel Doria Medina, earned 19.5% of the vote.

“Left-wing journalists have been trying to have it both ways — asserting that there is not a serious crime problem, while also arguing that the Trump administration is not doing enough to clean up the crime problem.
…
Deep state rag Politico — the same outlet conning subsistence funding from American tax dollars — defended an allegedly violent illegal alien in an attempt to stop the Trump administration from cleaning up Washington, D.C.

The corporate media has been falsely insisting since last week, when President Donald Trump declared an emergency and took federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police, that the nation’s capital is really the safest city on the planet. In doing so, they have been fighting against Trump’s crackdown on violence and crime by trying to revise the past, insisting D.C. is perfectly safe, or giving ridiculous accounts of how the crime crisis is ‘nonexistent.’

In Politico Playbook, essentially a D.C. ‘insider’ section of the outlet’s website, Deputy Editor Zach Stanton and others wrote of an arrest in the city, claiming the assailant was simply a ‘moped driver.’ In an apparent attempt at fearmongering, Politico described that ‘moped driver’ as being arrested by ‘masked law enforcement officers,’ presenting the driver as innocent — if not, victimized.

Painting the police in even worse light, Politico portrayed ‘onlookers’ and ‘pedestrian[s]’ as being in the officers’ chain of command, and when the officers told the bystander they were not required to answer to the crowd, Politico said the officers ‘barked back.’

‘The officers never identified themselves, never provided their badge numbers, never revealed their agency,’ Politico wrote. ‘They took the moped driver into an unmarked SUV and spirited him off, destination unknown.’

In standard, slimy D.C. journalist fashion, the writers noted that brunch service at upscale restaurant Le Diplomate ‘continued without interruption,’ as if to highlight the happening taking place in the proverbial ‘our community.’
