Casey Goonan was arrested Monday morning at his parents’ $1.1 million home in Pleasant Hill on suspicion of a string of arson attacks at UC Berkeley from June 1 to 16.

Feds, cops and CalFire allege the 34-year-old, a Northwestern University doctorate of African American studies, firebombed a Berkeley campus police car and carried out three other arson incidents on university grounds June 1, as well as last Thursday and Sunday.

A leftist BBC presenter is under fire after he suggested that President Biden should have Donald Trump “murdered” in the wake of his Supreme Court immunity ruling.

“If I was Biden I’d hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America’s security,” Radio 4 host David Aaronovitch, 69, wrote on X.

His comment was in response to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling Monday that Trump has immunity for any “official acts” he made during his presidency. ...

Aaronovitch’s reaction sparked immediate backlash – including one account that suggested “people have had police visits for a lot less. Knock knock.”

When Aaronovitch deleted his initial post, GB News contributor Alex Armstrong accused him of “backtracking” due to advice from his “handlers.”

First, note that Trump’s assassination attempt followed a few months after pro-Trump Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico’s May 15th shooting. Politico, July 9th:

surviving assassination
"Sorry to have survived, but I am back," Slovak prime minister tells media and opposition.

And six days ago, the Japanese commemorated the successful assassination of pro-Trump Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Headline from last week, Universal Press International:

JULY 8, 2024 AT 11:10 AM
Japan marks second anniversary of Shinzo Abe's assassination

A pattern seems to be developing, if you are willing to see it. I cannot find a single example from recent history of globalist leaders being shot or assassinated. Maybe it’s time for people to confront the obvious facts.

Maybe it’s time for people to confront the obvious facts.

This conviction is just the first shot. Trump has 3 more trials to go. The Dems will keep pushing until there are protests, which they will call an: insurrection.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all of these delayed to the point nothing is going to happen until way after the election?

Lefties are adults

A California man has been charged with attempted arson for twice trying to torch a women’s Republican club in the Golden State, according to a report.

Carlos Espriu, 23, allegedly busted the windows at the East Valley Republican Women Federated office in La Quinta on May 31, then lit three Molotov cocktails to set the building on fire — and came back to try again when they didn’t spark a blaze, Fox News reported.

Espriu’s second attempt was caught on surveillance video which cops posted on a GoFundMe page that raised nearly $9,000 to repair the damage.

“The terrorizing goes on,” the page said. “Their headquarters have experienced increased hostility including: multiple harassing phone calls daily, eggs thrown at the windows, and drive-by shouting accompanied by obscene gestures.”

If you’ve been wondering why there has been such an endless firehose of hate coming from the Left for the last nine years, that’s why. They need a way to express these dark and angry thoughts because, on the Left, you’re not allowed to anymore. You have to always reflect GOODNESS. You have to be a feminized man, or it’s “toxic masculinity.” You can’t call a woman fat. You can’t use sexually violent language, or your career would be over in seconds.

Ah, but to do it to a woman who will be voting for Trump, then all bets are off. It’s fair game. Dehumanize at will. There is no bottom. There are no rules, so why not unleash all of that pent-up rage? It’s probably true on the Right, too. I’m not saying it isn’t. But they don’t define themselves as morally pure. They don’t put up bullshit lawn signs, “In this house, we believe.”

John Anderson doesn’t realize that I’ve been online for 30 years. The level of bullying I’ve received online has been off the charts for years. It goes with the territory.

So far, no physical violence, but I can survive that too. I grew up with it. I hope that no one shoots me. That’s the one thing I fear. These folks, these angry Leftists, they’re so close to concentration camps, gulags, public executions. They’re right there. All they need is the green light. ...

When Ashli Babbitt was shot point blank in the Capitol, a tiny, unarmed woman, it didn’t even matter. Her life was treated like she was nothing. She wasn’t even worthy of acknowledgment by our government. She was treated as a terrorist. ...

We’ve never been as close to fascism as we are right now. A president was threatened and removed from power, and a candidate was installed. The entire propaganda press is going along with it. In other words, all aligned as one against the individual. The last time we were this close was the post-WWII Cold War era. Every major institution of power was aligned with the state, even Hollywood.

But imagine if Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Complex before 9/11; imagine what it looks like now. It’s just bigger and bigger.

ABOUT NEW TOLERANCE CAMPAIGN

MISSION: FIGHT TO UPHOLD REAL TOLERANCE IN AMERICAN SOCIETY
New Tolerance Campaign is a watchdog organization mobilizing Americans to confront intolerance double-standards by establishment institutions, civil rights groups, universities, and socially-conscious brands. NTC action campaigns empower ordinary Americans to hold accountable self-proclaimed arbiters of tolerance when they betray their own stated values.

PROBLEM: “PHONY TOLERANCE” BY THE ESTABLISHMENT
The “tolerance establishment” has lost its moral compass by failing to uphold basic standards of decency for all people, and is inspiring others to do the same. The establishment criticizes the moral conduct of certain people while ignoring vile bigotry by others. Even worse, the establishment wields “tolerance” selectively as a weapon for political attacks, sometimes even aligning with extremists to advance their goals.

Examples of “Phony Tolerance” include:

The ACLU, which once upheld free-speech for all on principle, has declared it will no longer defend the civil liberties of “others whose views are contrary to our values…”
The NBA boldly advocates for Black Lives Matter while abetting China’s human rights abuses, ignoring repression of Muslims, and silencing criticism of China’s subjugation of Hong Kong.
The ADL is partnering with Al Sharpton – the unrepentant inciter of one of the worst anti-Semitic riots in US history.
UC Berkeley, a public university once renowned for its Free Speech Movement, has repeatedly allowed students to physically threaten and shut down unpopular speakers.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, founded to protect minorities from intimidation, uses its Hate List to defame liberal Muslim reformers while partnering with CAIR, a bigoted Islamist extremist group.

SOLUTION: ACTING TOGETHER TO HOLD MAINSTREAM ORGANIZATIONS ACCOUNTABLE
As a grassroots nonprofit organization, NTC has mobilized over 75,000 activists of diverse backgrounds from all 50 states. Our campaigns have pressured universities to reverse decisions that violated their students’ basic rights; called out companies that gave lip-service to equality while profiting from human rights abuses; and saluted heroes upholding consistent standards of tolerance. Join the growing movement for real tolerance!

For two years, from behind bars and in courtrooms, to journalists and judges, a former Las Vegas-area Democratic elected official has insisted he wants to tell his story to the jury that will decide whether he goes to prison or goes free after trial in the killing of an investigative journalist who wrote articles critical of him and his workplace conduct two years ago. ...

German spent 44 years covering Las Vegas mobsters and public officials at the Las Vegas Sun and then at the larger Review-Journal.

Democrats and the mafia are very, very closely connected. Pelosi's father was in La Cosa Nostra, for example.

Did the guy live? If not, that video is an excellent argument for the death penalty.

Yes, apparently so, but she still may have killed him.

I'm convinced it was not staged.

Let's discuss the growing crisis of left-wing violence in our country

It's well past time to acknowledge the truth.

For all the media hand-wringing about "Christian Nationalism," all the pearl-clutching about the threat of authoritarianism from right-wing fascists, all the online hysterics about the rise of "white neo-Nazis," there is an intentional blind eye being turned to episodes of real violence, real death, real political terror.

Antifa violence was real and it was left-wing.

Black Lives Matter violence was real and it was left-wing.

The recent spate of transgender school shooters was real and it was left-wing.

Now, a second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was real and has all the continued markings of left-wing lunacy.
Let's state the obvious. Not all those with progressive politics, in fact not very many at all, would participate in or even condone any of the above. But too many of them are willfully turning a blind eye to what is fomenting from their corner of the culture.

Take what happened Saturday night. The imagery was chilling and disconcerting - Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris speaking in front of a dark backdrop at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner, warning the audience that its "vision" (and that of the country) is "under profound threat" should Donald Trump return to the White House.

A little over 12 hours later, a Secret Service agent would pounce on top of Trump again, shielding him from gunshots echoing in close proximity. A second would-be assassin, this time not taking a position on an inexplicably close and unguarded rooftop, but rather in an inexplicably close and unguarded row of shrubs at Trump's own golf course, was preparing to kill the former and perhaps future president just moments after security personnel thankfully saw the barrel of his rifle and engaged.

Thanks to internet sleuths, we have quickly uncovered much information about this assassin, Ryan Routh. But learning more as the investigation unfolds seems unlikely, given that we still know so very little about the first attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Former First Lady Melania Trump recently voiced her own concerns about the slow drip of sparse information that has been forthcoming from law enforcement agencies about the July 13 attempt...

Now the silence around it feels heavy. I can't help but wonder why didn't law enforcement officials arrest shooter before the speech. There is definitely more to this story. And we need to uncover the truth.

After this most recent assassination attempt, Kamala Harris wasted little time in posting her gratitude that Trump was safe to social media. It's a kind gesture, but admittedly rings a bit hollow when coupled with her tone and terminology Saturday night.

Trotting out her now-infamously comedic go-to line about being "unburdened by what has been," the current vice president proclaimed her commitment to,

A vision for the future of our nation, a future where we can see what is possible, unburdened by what has been, a future where we fulfill the promise of America, a promise of freedom, opportunity and justice, not just for some, but for all.

To be blunt, in our current environment doesn't any desire for such things necessitate an immediate rollback of the hostile, aggressive hyperbole that likens your political opponent to Hitler, manipulates his every word to imply he holds antebellum views of racial minorities, and conveys to the ears of anyone registered to vote that he would usher in the death of global democracy?

No, I don't believe Vice President Harris is involved in any secretive plot to murder the former president. I'd say it's pretty apparent that her only chance of winning this election is to rely on and feed off of the anti-Trump fervor of her base. That disappears immediately if Trump were no longer in the picture.

But I also believe it's apparent that two assassination attempts in two months should speak volumes to her and all of those involved in the left-wing media/Democrat party political sphere that fueling the vitriolic hatred in deranged half-wits is itself proving to be a profound threat to the preservation of our democratic republic.

As is left-wing violence in general.
