An assassination attempt against a former president and current candidate must not be forgotten.

  • Mark Steyn: “The other night my youngest expressed a wish to see The Manchurian Candidate—the original, of course. And, as great as it is, its famous ending seemed an artifact of a lost and somewhat innocent age: a man is able to stroll into a political rally and access easily a high-up vantage point with a direct line of sight to the nominee. Couldn’t happen now… And yet it just did.”
  • Austin Ruse: “Good Lord Almighty, that man is a legend. He gets shot, gets up almost immediately, with blood running down his face, throws his fist in the air and shouts ‘fight, fight, fight.’ Donald Trump is a legend.”
  • Judicial Watch Statement on the Assassination Attempt on Former President Donald Trump: “Americans can be assured that Judicial Watch has already initiated an independent investigation into today’s events.”

In response to Election 2024: Positioning for election 2024 is already started; the campaign will heat up very quickly after November 2022.
