So President Joe Biden has found himself facing the nation in the aftermath of an egregious security failure: the shooting of Donald Trump during a rally. With the backdrop of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump, rather miraculously, walked away with just a grazed ear, but not everyone was as fortunate. One rallygoer lost their life, and two others are hanging on by a thread.
Joe Biden’s solution? An “independent” investigation—whatever that means in Washington speak. Undoubtedly, this move is to placate the masses while Democratic insiders quietly manage the narrative. And let’s not kid ourselves; such incidents are more than just physical attacks—they strike at the heart of democracy and, in this case, appear to be another chapter in the left’s unprecedented smear campaign against Trump.

Biden supposedly had a heartfelt conversation with Trump, expressing his relief that his contender was doing okay and offering his prayers. They chitchatted briefly, and Biden was quick to exploit the moment, giving a sermon about how America must reject violence and anarchy. The irony of these sentiments coming from the head of a party that has often remained tight-lipped on mob-like behavior from radical wings is palpable.
In a moment dripping with irony, Biden made lofty statements about this assassination attempt being un-American. One must wonder if the teleprompter fed him that line or if he genuinely grasped the gravity of what such violent acts mean. From the right’s perspective, this incident is yet another rallying cry, further galvanizing voters who see Trump not just as a candidate, but as a resilient symbol against the Establishment’s continuous oppression and hostility.
As Biden gears up for another address, supporters on the conservative side are gearing up for a different reason. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee promises to be electric, especially with Trump already in Wisconsin, defying odds and critics alike. His perseverance only fuels the conservative fervor—a stark contrast to Biden’s seemingly insincere telecast. But then again, actions have always spoken louder than words, and the event in Butler was nothing short of a testament to that.
