Celebrate Diversity?
If you have to pinpoint it, that might be the best moment, but I would probably move it back to Trumpās primary win. You could make all kinds of arguments for a lot of significant events.
As far as āthe most important in history goesā, I donāt know how many more clues people need to see before they understand that the Democrats are in full-blown socialist revolutionary mode.
The differences are so profound, yet many believe itās āsame stuff on both sidesā or that pretending to be above the fray is a more enlightened position than actually picking a side today.
It makes me think of George Carlin and his cynical nihilism. Believing in nothing and mocking everything might have seemed brilliant in the '90ās when it was a lot harder to spot the differences between Democrats and Republicans.
His schtick sounds totally stupid if you place it in any other socialist revolution in history. There was probably a George Carlin somewhere in Venezuela pointing out the hypocrisy of both sides during the Chavez election, and he probably has eaten dog meat for a protein source or gotten roughed up by some collectivos who didnāt give a damn that he mocked both sides equally.

Itās been eventful morning coffee reading today.
The usual TDS loudmouths on Maine social media all seem to believe it was a staged event to distract from the Epstein files.
It appears as though the shooter is a teacher and Kamala Harris donor. Letās see what the SPLC says about his links to far-right extremist groups.
It reminds me of the Witch of Waterville here in Maine.
So true. He was an act you were always expected to like but in reality didnāt care for after you turned 18.
Carlin had some good bits over the years but a lot of people believed he was on to something really deep with his political insights. He wasnāt. He was just a professional critic, but maybe he would show more moral clarity if he was alive today.
It was surprising that Pres Trump finally decided to attend this event. I donāt know about things being āstagedā though. That said, nobody was killed, so it can be fun to speculate.
Conspiracy theories are fun to contemplate, but it isnāt good when so many people in society are so easily manipulated into fact-free groupthink.
I think youāre being overly dramatic. Iām not saying it would be better or worse because I cannnot know that. I suppose we will see soon enough., the pendulum mght swing hard the other direction and the radicals will lkely be more polarized after Trump 2.0 than theyĀ“d be in a Kamala win. I also see lotās of reports of MAGA voters dissappointed with the way Trump is governing the country. Then thereās all the Tucker Carlsons and the Tailor Greens voices standing up for Trumpā¦ I dunno, man. If I were a betting man Iād tell you to brace for whatās coming.
Oh, yes, Jorge Carlos. They proven him right cause he was beaten and shot in the face by both sides. For the sake of equality. And symmetry.
Trump has never attended the Correspondence Dinner since 2015 when Obama ripped into him, before last night.
āHeās currently in a legal battle with a judge for a new ballroom, that Trump claims he āneedsā because public venues are too unsafe, and the judge stated that Trump would have to prove public venues are unsafe.
āThe entire line of presidential succession were in that same room together, but the Secret Service let a lone gunman literally sprint from the other end of the building, all the way to that room.
āMoments after the gunman was apprehended, Trump and everyone went right back to partying, without a single security official doing a sweep to make sure there wasnāt another gunman lurking, or scrutinizing a single guest or staff to make sure no one there was part of the plot.
Just sayinā.
Maybe. Thereās no way to know how that would have played out for sure, but we can be reasonably certain that mass migration would have continued and likely accelerated. ICE would have remained neutered like it was during the Biden administration. If they just had the Presidency and Republicans had both houses, no transformative legislation would have passed, but Iām fairly convinced thatās the plan if they once again get all 3. Plus statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, along with Supreme Court packing.
James Carville was recently heard advising Democrats to ānot campaign on it, just do itā, which is how they operate. Nobody campaigned on any of the most transformative policies implemented in Maine over the last 7 years. They just did it once they got power. Not a single politician won an election in Maine by promising to allow illegal aliens to get driverās licenses, vote in our elections, receive benefits, or allow anyone to send an invoice to Mainecare and have it paid with no questions asked. At best, these were mentioned in euphemisms like āexpanding healthcare accessā and āensuring voting rights for everyoneā.
Harris explicitly campaigned on āequityā, which isnāt exactly a subtle message about their plans for Democratic Socialism. Tim Walz was her VP candidate and heās a straight-up Maoist. He just spoke in your neck of the woods at the Socialist conference, using the same language Marxists have used for over a century. He even bragged about Minnesota volunteers fighting for the communists in The Spanish Civil War.
They wonāt stop until every state is like Maine. Permanently rigged in their favor with structural disadvantages for anyone who tries to vote them out of power, all while importing more and more new voters with public money. All while gaslighting the public with propaganda that Goebbels would admire.
Itās amazing how you know all of these details less than 24 hours after the event happened. A lot of hardcore anti-Trumpers in Maine believe it was staged by Trump for the reasons you outlined.
Meanwhile, in reality, the dude was obviously severely afflicted with TDS, was active on Bluesky, and wrote a detailed explanation for what he was attempting to do and why. He had pronouns in his bio.
His manifesto sounds exactly like what all of Maineās most prominent woke white women say every day on social media and write on their signs at the regular āNo Kingsā protests.
Multiple news outlets are reporting on this as an authentic message sent by Cole Allen to his friends and family shortly before he acted exactly like youād expect someone who believes Trump is Adolf Hitler to.
Hello everybody!
So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.
I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for āMost Wanted.ā
I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)
I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.
I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.
I donāt expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.
On to why I did any of this: I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity Iāve had to do something about it.)
While Iām discussing this, Iāll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but Iām not military so too bad.)
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope theyāre wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who arenāt
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
National Guard: same as Hotel Security
Hotel Employees: not targets at all
Guests: not targets at all
In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)
I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesnāt come to that.
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. Iām not the person raped in a detention camp. Iām not the fisherman executed without trial. Iām not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressorās crimes.
Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isnāt about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be āinconvenientā for people who arenāt the victim? This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.
Objection 3: You didnāt get them all.
Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.
Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldnāt be the one doing this.
Rebuttal: I donāt see anyone else picking up the slack
Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesarās.
Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is astoundingly incompetent.)
Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.
Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.
Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.
Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.
Thank you to the many acquaintances Iāve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole ācoldForceā āFriendly Federal Assassinā Allen
PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe theyāre pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope itās corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.
Actually insane.
Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: itās awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.
Canāt really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.
To be fair, thereās still a lot of questions about his other assassination attempt and Trumpās magical healing ear.

What are the betting lines on ole Ghislaine Maxwell getting pardoned by Trump?
I bet heās going to do it, but on his last day in office.
Apparently her lawyer is stating the chance is high it happens.
She has agreed to spill the beans in exchange for clemency, which Trump obviously doesnāt want her to do.
What the democratic contenders should do is say that to get to the truth they will offer her clemency on their first day in office, just to make Trump start to panic.
She shouldnāt get a pass though. Iām still ticked off about the unexplained prison move.
