ANALYSIS: TRUE. The scourge of left-wing violence isn’t new. It’s only going to get worse.

There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia.

That’s not even to mention the “free Palestine” activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history.

When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it.

That’s a pattern. That’s a big problem.

Read the whole thing.

A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION, MASQUERADING AS A POLITICAL PARTY:

MEANWHILE, AT THE USAFA…: Air Force Academy Female Insubordination Threatens Secretary Of War During Global Conflict – Former Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson Reportedly Leads Charge Against ‘Old White Men’.

n a flagrant display of insubordinate Marxist ideology, the U.S. Air Force Academy terrazzo was overun last Friday with hundreds of females from a USAFA affinity group for women that literally threatened the Secretary of War during the ongoing conflict in Iran.

Apparently up to 500 women showed up for the event which was reportedly sponsored by the Academy and USAFA AOG.

AFP has been told scores of women marched in front of Mitchell Hall Cafeteria, some with signs derogatory to the Department of War leadership, with quotes like, “No matter what SecDef says”. SecDef refers to the previous designation for the Secretary of War, an obvious slur, and in our view, a threat to DOW leadership.

AFP has received multiple phone calls from women who attended the event, describing open insubordination to DOW leadership, Marxist ideological slogans and propaganda, and calls for getting rid of ‘Old White Men’ on the USAFA Association of Graduates Board of Directors.

We are told former USAFA Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson (USAF, Ret) led an event where witnesses claim that at a gathering of USAFA women in a Polaris Hotel ballroom shortly before a memorial ceremony, Lt Gen Johnson spoke to the crowd denigrating and advocating opposing certain AFA AOG Directors whom she claimed were making the AOG “political,” reported one source.

More to come, I’m sure.

THE BANALITY OF EVIL, AGAIN:

President Donald Trump erupted in anger at CBS journalist Norah O’Donnell after she read him excerpts from what is said to be a manifesto written by Cole Tomas Allen, the man charged with trying to kill Trump at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Some conservatives seem to think no good can be served from reading these words, but that’s a mistake: It’s always useful to be reminded, again, of the banality of evil.

The distinguishing feature of the manifesto is its insipidity. “I am a citizen of the United States,” Allen writes. “What my representatives do reflects on me.” Later, he justifies the possibility that he might harm the people in the ballroom “on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist and traitor, and are thus complicit,” although he adds that “I really hope it doesn’t come to that.”

The manifesto lays out five objections to what he is about to attempt — starting with “As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek” — followed by his brief rebuttals. The impression is less of a person struggling with an anguished conscience than of someone not bright enough to come up with objections that would force anything but glib self-justification.

Finally, the author is at pains to convey the impression that he’s a nice guy with a sense of humor. He apologizes to everyone he deceived and offers copious thanks to family, friends, colleagues and students. His final words are that he experiences “rage thinking about everything this administration has done,” followed by “Stay in school, kids.” He is — or so he thinks — Guy Fawkes by way of Sesame Street.

In addition to his ridiculous “manifesto,” Allen posed for a selfie on the way to his failed assassination attempt:

Of course, that was far from the most embarrassing look for Allen on Saturday night. As Blehar wrote yesterday, “A potential atrocity was instantly prevented. The most memorable image from Saturday’s WHCD will not be one of blood, or tears, or spectacularly televised violence; it will be that of a naked, hog-tied Cole Allen kissing the carpet as he lies prone with a Mylar blanket draped over his raggedy hindquarters to hide his shame. (Police had stripped him to search for weapons.)”

HOW IT STARTED: Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.

—The London Independent, March 20th, 2000.

How It’s Going: Al Gore invokes disaster film, warns of ice age within 25 years.

Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience Thursday that a Gulf Stream collapse could occur within 25 years, remarks that came 20 years after his climate documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” drew criticism for predictions that did not bear out.

Mr. Gore, 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.”

According to a Breitbart account of the event, Mr. Gore invoked the scenario depicted in the 2004 disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow” — though he repeatedly referred to it as “The Day After,” the title of a separate 1983 television film about nuclear war — saying a shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, commonly called the Gulf Stream, is “a very real threat within the next 25 years.”

“That movie that I mentioned, ’The Day After’ about the Gulf Stream shutting down, well, this morning in one of the English newspapers is a whole big article summarizing the recent dire warnings of the scientists who found yet more confirmatory information that this is a very real threat within the next 25 years,” Mr. Gore said, according to Breitbart.

Mr. Whitford raised a more compressed timeline, suggesting that a Gulf Stream collapse could put the world “in an ice age in, like, 10 years.” Mr. Gore pushed back, saying such a scenario would unfold more slowly, while acknowledging the consequences would be severe.

“It would be bad. It would be very bad and would be bad on a scale that is beyond our, anything we can compare it to today,” Mr. Gore said, according to Breitbart.

With America about to celebrate its 250th anniversary and with many of its citizens still having fond memories of the bicentennial, the return to global cooling is also a return to the zanier aspects of the decade that never dies, the 1970s. Leonard Nimoy tried to warn us of “the coming ice age” in 1978, but alas to no avail:

As did Walter Cronkite in 1972:

Exit question from the late Scott Adams in 2018: “How many heads would explode if global temperatures head lower during the Trump administration?”
