I had season tickets to the San Francisco Giants for over 25 years. When Barry Bonds was playing for the Giants, he was the most feared hitter in baseball. There was even one game where the bases were loaded, with two outs and the other team had a two-run lead. The manager walked Barry Bonds, giving up one run, because he just did not want to pitch to Barry Bonds in that situation. Attending an SF Giants game in San Francisco was a guarantee that Barry Bonds would walk at least once and maybe more every game. So, a lot of people, including me, got a rubber chicken and when Barry Bonds was walked, the entire stadium would wave our rubber chickens and do the “chicken dance.” It was great fun.
Now we are watching another chicken dance. The assassination attempt, secretly longed for by stupid Democrats, missed. It not only missed, but Trump also rose defiantly with his fist in the air shouting “fight.” It could not have been choreographed better for Donald Trump.
The response by the MSM was ludicrous and predictable. First many of them didn’t even acknowledge that this was an assassination attempt, that Trump had been hit, but not seriously injured. Some of them reported that Trump fell after hearing a loud noise. CBS reported: “Trump rally shooter killed by Secret Service sniper, official say.” A desperate attempt to distract the attention away from Donald Trump.
It didn’t and won’t work. The shooting was shown on live TV and it was obvious that it was a miracle that Trump wasn’t killed. The bullet came within an inch of his life. The Secret Service did surround Trump and try and shield him from further attack. But he was still able to stick his head up and raise his fist. We are truly fortunate there was no second shooter on site.
Now the finger pointing is underway, and there are a lot of fingers. The Biden Administration is trying to get ahead of this and pretend they are ready, willing, and able to handle this responsibly. Few believe them. Instead, we see that the Secret Service reports to Alejandro Mayorkas, yes that Alejandro Mayorkas. The head of the Secret Service, predictably, is a female, former head of security for PepsiCo on a mission to implement DEI into the Secret Service. The result was three females, looking panicked and ineffective putting on a remarkable display on national TV.
It is also increasingly obvious that there was a total breakdown in security. There is absolutely no excuse or explanation for how this 20-year-old man was able to put himself to take a kill shot at Donald Trump. One problem is that there are reports that the Trump campaign asked for additional security and this was denied. There are reports that some Secret Service agents working on the Trump campaign were reassigned to Jill Biden for an event on the same day. There is video of people, many people, pointing out this guy crawling on a rooftop. Eventually a local police officer climbed a ladder, only to back down when the shooter pointed a rifle at him. Shortly after that the shooter fired at Donald Trump. There are pictures that seem to show that Secret Service Snipers saw this guy, before he fired, but did not act until he had fired. If any of this is true, this will be difficult to explain and impossible to cover up.
In addition, there is all that video of Democrats, including Joe Biden, calling Donald Trump an existential threat to our democracy. Numerous Democrats saying the only thing that mattered was defeating Donald Trump, because he was such a threat to the country. There were even some suggesting that Biden assassinate Trump. This puts all those lawsuits against Trump into perspective. Those now calling for peace and unity were the ones most vocal in demanding the opposite. There is no chance this will work. Just as that debate showed the incompetence of Joe Biden, this shooting showed both the unrelenting hatred of Donald Trump and his own incredible act of courage during the most stressful of occasions. Democrats were stripped naked and exposed on national television, and it may take years, if not decades for them to recovery. No recovery is possible if the current leaders remain in charge.
If Democrats are smart, which is unlikely, heads will roll immediately. They need sacrificial scapegoats so the rest of them can pretend to be surprised and outraged. Instead, I think we will see the political equivalence of the chicken dance, only this time the chickens are coming home to roost.

This scenario smells very similar to January 6th with probable perpetrators being of the same political persuasion! I have to think God had something to do with Trump turning his head at just the right instant!
