There is a chilling story out this morning that another assassination attempt may have been averted. This time, the target was not President Donald Trump or a conservative justice but my former student Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget. Notably, Colin Demarco, 26, referenced the “fascist” mantra being repeated by Democratic politicians, press, and pundits as the reason for his planning to kill Vought.
According to Arlington police, the assassination may have been thwarted by an attentive and courageous neighbor who, around 3:15 p.m. on August 10, 2025, saw a suspicious male who he believed was hiding a firearm under his shirt, wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves, and carrying a backpack on the Voughts ’ porch. The neighbor confronted the man and later called the police. The encounter was captured on home surveillance video.
Police then tracked down the man and found digital evidence that the suspect had obtained directions to the victim’s residence, had gathered information on firearms possessed by a relative, and had a guide on how to prevent criminal detection. He also allegedly solicited others to kill Vought and, within a few days of these postings, appeared at his house.
According to CBS News, Demarco claimed to have written a manifesto that detailed weapons and a “Body Disposal Guide,” adding:
The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials “R.V.” who, according to the criminal complaint, “has served as a presidential appointee.”
The complaint adds that the alleged victim was involved in the creation of Project 2025 — a project funded by the conservative Heritage Foundation- to produce a policy agenda for the next GOP administration. It called for a radical reshaping of the government in ways that consolidate power in the executive branch.
What is most chilling is how Demarco parroted the talking points of Democratic leaders in justifying the assassination. He reportedly told agents that he found the November 2024 election to be the “lowest point in his life” and feared “impending war and a fascist takeover.”
Many of us have condemned the now common rhetoric coming from top Democratic leaders who are calling conservatives or officials “fascists” and insisting that democracy is about to die in the United States. As figures like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and various congressional members called ICE “Gestapo” and a “secret police,” attacks on federal law enforcement officers have soared.
Recently, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) called out the “fascism in our streets” and suggested that citizens could be justified in shooting masked agents, a chilling claim made earlier by other Democratic leaders.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D. Conn.) recently declared, “What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is tear gassing elementary schools. It is disappearing legal residents into cars. It is murdering American citizens.”
Aspiring Democrats are getting the message. Total Wine billionaire David Trone (who is running to recapture his Maryland congressional district from fellow Democrat Rep. April McClain-Delaney) declared this week that the federal government is “literally executing people on the streets” in “not just Minneapolis… all over the United States.”
Ohio Democratic Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan is running on the catchy pledge that “I will kill Donald Trump.” It is a race to the bottom as Democratic leaders try to take the lead in mob politics.
For years, people have heard politicians and the press call Trump “Hitler” and the GOP a Nazi movement. Some compared stopping Trump to stopping Hitler in 1933. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) declared Trump “is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.” He later apologized.
Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.” Democratic strategist James Carville previously threatened that “collaborators” may be treated in the same way as they were after World War II.
When combined with the rationalization for the use of lethal force against officers, this rhetoric is not just inflammatory but dangerous. We have heard these voices before in our history. As discussed in Rage and the Republic, we have a rising class of new Jacobins, politicians and pundits who are pandering to the mob. History does not bode well for these politicians seeking to ride the wave of rage when the mob turns against them.
Figures like Demarco hear such reckless rhetoric and take it as a license to commit murder. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) previously went to the steps of the Supreme Court and called out Kavanaugh by name: “I want to tell you, (Justice Neil) Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Nicholas Roske would later go to the home of Justice Kavanaugh to kill him.
Notably, police are also reporting that Demarco expressed support for alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione. Again, the unhinged hear praise for such figures from writers such as former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz who explained the reaction of many women: “Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.”
Vought is now under enhanced security protection due to the heightened risk of assassination. Yet, there is no indication that Democratic leaders are tamping down their inflammatory rhetoric. To the contrary, they seem to have “jumped the shark” and are struggling to find ways to stand out to the mob with increasingly outrageous claims. It may work to get them back into power in the midterms, but it will come at a terrible price as they spur greater political violence in this country.

OT
Has anyone seen some of what’s coming out of the 2020 vote investigations? I saw a percentage breakdown from John Solomon that 25% of the California votes were from non citizens overseas, 20% out of Georgia. FBI just notified all State heads of elections for a briefing reportedly. You know it’s coming, right before the midterms. Epstein has been the distraction.
I get JTN, but missed that report. If you still have the link, please post it. John has provided some videos. One of the few things we can do is not vote for anyone who is a Democrat, even for dog catcher, and even if they are our friends. We need to tell them that the Democrat Party has to start anew because they are so corrupt. It’s not personal
. I don’t think you understand. It’s unspeakable. Yes, elections are no good and have no chance of ever being good. I can say that much.
I had waited for time to change her
The only change that came was over me
Jonathan probably should consider protection. Maybe he has. Just looking at the violent abuse of his website, the vicious, sick, threatening filth thrown at him. Dear GOD, protect him and all who speak out in truth about the collapse of dignity and moral clarity with in this precious land.
You know what the scum are good at? Hating GOD and spewing half-truths. How many of us have spent countless hours correcting their claims. In the mean time, vulnerable, often well meaning Americans are sucked in to their mission to destroy this beautiful land of the free
I guess I’m fine shopping at Total Wine.
Proclamation 80—Calling Forth the Militia and Convening an Extra Session of Congress
“On April 15, 1861,…President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling forth the state militias, to the sum of 75,000 troops, in order to suppress the rebellion. He appealed ‘to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union.’”
Proclamation 92—Warning to Rebel Sympathizers
“[On] July 17, 1862,…I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, countenancing, or abetting the existing rebellion or any rebellion against the Government of the United States and to return to their proper allegiance to the United States on pain of the forfeitures and seizures as within and by said sixth section provided.”
________________________________________________________________________________
Abraham Lincoln was a Great American President.
Now President Donald J. Trump MUST implement his rendition of “The Lincoln Era,” close the border, rescind rebel sanctuary cities, compassionately repatriate all illegal and unassimilable aliens, issue mass temporary work permits with no path to citizenship, revoke birthright citizenship, make English the sole official language, commence a war to defeat the rebellion, impose martial law, suspend habeas corpus, “smash” rebel printing presses, networks, podcasts, and social media platforms, and imprison political opponents and rebel judges, all in order to save, not the Union, but the Nation, eradicate the communist American welfare state, and place America squarely back on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including absolute freedom, free enterprise, free industries, free markets, private property, and minimal taxation and regulation, alongside infinitesimal constitutional government.
Ok. This is not remotely isolated, the modern left is insane. Period. If you are following the Epstein releases at all it should be a non-brainer. the modern left is something in its insidiousness we couldn’t imagine. It is no wonder they released nothing during the Biden years.

James,
That is truly diabolical.
Interesting how much the Biden admin was about normalizing the whole “trans” thing.
. Robert Trivers is a renowned evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist. He taught at Harvard and Rutgers.
Truly shocking and as thought experimental biology using children. Was there ever really doubt?
If this email can be verified beyond a shadow of doubt the torts will skyrocket. Will democrats care or will Ketanji Brown Jackson care or the senators confirmation votes with Harris tie breaker?
This email is far more important than a brothel. Epstein provided money for this research. Epstein murdered, Paris model agency murdered, Guifree murdered and others.
Mengele reincarnated?
.^^^^ Manipulation exposed just as all people right and left are being manipulated in terrifying ways and by any means. Rats in a maze but by whom? We are people being trained like dogs?
The remedy is to construct good daily but its like quicksand and people are climbing over others using others as a rope to get out.
It’s called a poverty pit. Poverty pits are being studied at MIT. The question is the reason poverty pits never succeed no matter what is given or tried. The answer must lie in human character flaws. Envy leads people to tear up what others have accomplished. Endlessly destroying. Perhaps Ghandi lived in such a place as he owned a diaper, sandals, bowl, spectacles. Nothing to steal? They’ll steal your bones.
🙏 in a hut down by the river. 😂
^^^^ By whom are we being manipulated question— the racist groups such as Indivisible, Solidarity and MANY others are tax exempt groups with millions funded by Soros,Singham and identifiable others actually whose stated mission is to create division and unrest in the US.
Basically find the punks locally getting the paychecks using ordinary morons to blow whistles at ICE, scream – give me my land back and no one is illegal on stolen land garbage. The white eyes, white saviors, white allies 😂 blow their whistles. Pretti and Good are dead white saviors.
ICE might change their acronym or just have police generic patches. It’ll scramble their flyers and confuse them. It’s kind of like the inane lingo of cisgender or binary .
Walz is clearly a white eye and Newsom, too. Whitmer, Spanburger and Pritzker white saviors.
DJT, send in the “regular forces”.
I’ve read the link, James. Epstein was lgbt. The women, girls are not truthful in such a case. It fits with Maxwell’s testimony.
Money was donated to such research. Most unfortunate…
. The email must be authenticated of course. Robert Tiver has written 7 or 8 books and has done original works in the areas of evolutionary biology and sociobiology.
This email sounds diabolical certainly and the language is offensive. He’s working with adults and not children. The tall weeds will be research in utero by bathing the fetus in testosterone to examine the results at birth. He apparently thinks it’s all about hormones and seeks to prove it. The last sentence says he does not work with children.
He studies flies and pigeons and other living organisms. He’s a firm believer in evolution and not creation. He sought donors in money for research from Epstein.
It’s chilling. Please don’t take this comment as support of either Epstein or Tivers. It’s all dangerous as laws are broken and murder is a virtue?
Adieu
^^^^ It is understood there are intersexional people. Hopefully the best medical care is available to aid in comfort.
Well, Mr. Turley, what democrat are you going to vote for I wonder?
Well the lunatic fringe is showing up. Thank god this was stopped. It is time to publicly call out the politicians and embarrass them. Believe it or not, as shameless as politicians are, this would work. Tie their words directly to words the lunatics say and watch them scramble to get out of the way.
“…as shameless as politicians are, this would work. Tie their words directly to words the lunatics say and watch them scramble to get out of the way.”
I really wish I thought that was true, but I do not. All that would happen is that they would redefine what they said, what they meant by it, and the word definitions themselves, to squirm out of the path of accountability. e.g., “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” That travesty was uttered in answer to a question about relatively trivial misconduct, how much more prevarication do you think would result from accusations of incitement to riot or murder?
. Democrats are desperate and resorting to murder. What a wondrous miracle this man, Vought, was saved by a neighbor.
Stopped? It hasn’t stopped. In some part of the world humans are being cloned and experiments being done. This must be the origin of birth defects.
It’s time for this to go its way. It’s pollution.
