Trump has become a victim of violence and not an instigator

 The Federalist Wire:

...

In yet another example of media bias, The New York Times has taken aim at former President Trump, painting him as an “instigator” and “inspiration” of political violence just days after he survived a second assassination attempt.

The timing of these accusations, led by chief White House correspondent Peter Baker, is no surprise coming from a publication that has consistently vilified Trump while downplaying the actual threats he faces.

“Donald Trump has long been seen as an instigator of political violence,” Baker claims in a video posted by The Times on Tuesday, offering no acknowledgment of the real violence and hatred Trump endures.

Instead of sympathizing with a former president who has now survived two attempts on his life, Baker shifts the blame back onto Trump, insisting he has “trafficked in the language of violence.”

This is despite Trump’s clear stance on who is truly responsible for the heated political environment.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump directly pointed to the dangerous rhetoric from President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, both of whom have called him a “threat to democracy.”

Trump didn’t mince words, holding their inflammatory statements accountable for fueling the latest assassination attempt.

The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, was arrested after being spotted aiming a rifle through a chain-link fence near Trump’s golf course.

This comes only months after a July assassination attempt where Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania.

Yet the media continues to brush these incidents aside, focusing instead on twisting Trump’s words to fit their narrative.

Baker’s criticism goes further, accusing Trump of creating a culture of violence by simply defending his supporters.

He dredges up old claims that Trump “encouraged violence” at rallies or spoke harshly against lawbreakers like looters or criminals crossing the border.

Rather than addressing the political climate that put a target on Trump’s back, Baker conveniently overlooks the fact that the suspect in the recent shooting had echoed Biden and Harris’ own words that “Democracy is on the ballot.”
...

The Democrats should drop the "threat to democracy" BS and focus on the real issues important to voters like the economy and national security.  If they can't do that they don't deserve to win.  It is possible they have taken this route because the economy and national security were much better under Trump and they don't have a serious answer for that.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
