I’ve written a lot about how things changed on June 27th because the media was shown to be either willingly incompetent: We didn’t know that Biden had elder issues or lying through their teeth: We knew what shape Biden was in but we weren’t about to tell you and disrupt the Democrat narrative.

This was a solid crisis for the MSM/left because the debate which apparently the Biden campaign figured Trump would duck due to the insane conditions that were set showed every single person in the media and government who INSISTED that those who said Joe Biden had elder issues. It was a real 2 Book of Samuel chapter 12 verse 12 moment when the Prophet Nathan says to David concerning his arranging the murder of Uriah the Hittite


You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

And thus for the last 16 days we’ve had report after report from the MSM concerning the mental health issues of Joe Biden from the same people who denied it for years.

The reaction from the MSM was panic as not only was this going on, but Donald Trump wasn’t stepping on this story media site after media site kept asking why wasn’t Trump stealing the spotlight? Even Meta & Instagram suddenly revoked the bans on Trump’s use of those accounts in the last 48 hours in the hopes that there might be a statement or image to change the story of Election 2024 from Joe Biden and return it to Donald Trump.

Be careful what you wish for.

Before I say another word let me give a shout out to this photographer who as this video shows, ran to the point of danger to get this shot. He showed the same guts under fire that Trump did.

Almost as soon as this assassination attempt took place all over twitter leftists complaining about the assassin missing were trending.

It reached the point where leftist’s online were urging other leftists to shut the hell up.

Suddenly the media turned on a dime. The same media who has for weeks been telling everyone that if Trump is re-elected it would be the end of democracy as we know it, who said Trump must be stopped at all costs, who have compared him to Hitler and INSISTED the comparison was apt.

That same media were not only Shocked SHOCKED that this thing could happen but were doubly shocked SHOCKED that attendees were blaming them:

And of course those who had been calling literally calling him as bad as Hitler

suddenly called for calm and a return to civility.

and were very disappointed that some republicans were upset

Never mind that we had stuff like this for a long time that wasn’t called out by the MSM:

Scott Jennings on CNN who called them out after the debate AGAIN called them out on air.

And the Babylon Bee absolutely nailed it

So once again the media has to turn on a dime and go from:

Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet!

to

Can’t we all just get along?

while pretending they never suggested this was the case. As Ladd Ehlinger put it:

And by an odd coincidence Joy Reid of MSNBC has locked down her twitter account.

Make of that what you will.

I suspect Drew Holden will have a collection of the MSM’s Trump comments in a day or two but here was my question in reply to a George Conway tweet.

So let’s repeat my question and address it to the MSM:

When you kept insisting that Trump was a threat to Democracy, worse than Hitler, a person waiting to become dictator of America were you lying?

And if not then why do you:

Regret the attempted assassination and/or call for the rhetoric to be tempered?

I think we deserve an answer.

In the last hour there was an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump he appears to be wounded in the ear. There are conflicting reports of if anyone else was killed or wounded (other than the shooters). This is from Byron York

As I’m tying this the report is one attendee is dead and another wounded. Right now on twitter there are a bunch of leftists complaining “How can you miss” to the point where it is trending on twitter. I have this question for Elon Musk:

I wonder if those upset that Trump survived are consoled that they managed to kill at least one of his supporters.

Here are the headlines from the MSM at the time I posted this one twitter:

Well I guess when you scream that Trump is a threat to democracy and that he’s Hitler for a year this is not a shock. On the plus side for the media they now have an excuse to stop talking about Joe Biden’s mental health but I suspect this is going to hurt their chances in November even more.

My first thought and it’s actually a rather terrible one, Given the left’s continual Trump derangement fed by the media, academic, Hollywood and Democrats in congress I’m really shocked that it’s taken this long for someone to try to kill him.

I’ll close with this:

Update: the iconic photo

Update 2:

The White House has put out a statement but Joe Biden hasn’t spoken on it, that makes sense because the last thing democrats need is the contrast between the pair emphasized.

Update 3: Boy was I wrong. Heard Joe Biden’s statement on the radio on the way to supper. I don’t think it could have been more perfect in the situation. Furthermore it was his best public performance and the most presidential thing he has done in a long time.

I don’t think this was a calculation in this moment but I’d say this speech guarantees that he stays on the ticket

“I don’t know enough, I have an opinion but I don’t have any facts so I want to make sure we have all the fact before I make some comment or comments.”

The world would be a better place if a lot of people took that last line to heart.

Update 4: Donald Trump put out a statement on Truth social:

Solid statement as well particularly leading with thanks to law enforcement and condolence to the person murdered in the attempt to kill him.
