Kamala Harris' plans to attack gun owners, as she outlined when she was a prosecutor in California, is a preview of her agenda for totalitarianism, according to commentator Tucker Carlson.

WND already has reported on her proclamation that any time they wanted, police could walk into a home and check whether the resident was doing what they wanted with his or her guns.

Now Carlson has commented: "This is openly totalitarian. If we don't resist this, we're done."

Social media commenters responded with:

"This is the most insane thing shes every said… AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT."

"Kamala Harris literally said they will be doing a gun confiscation. What's it going to take for everyone to realize these people are straight up communists and they are coming for our guns, our free speech and all our constitutional rights. Democrats are domestic terrorists."

"This is a red line they are crossing."

report from Shore News Network explained, "As San Francisco's district attorney, Kamala Harris made headlines in 2007 when she told legal gun owners that authorities could 'walk into' their homes to inspect whether they were storing firearms properly, under a law she helped draft. During a press conference in May of that year, Harris explained, 'Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe.'"

The report pointed out, "Now, legal gun owners across America are waiting to see if she would enact a federal law that allows police to enter any legal gun owner's home at any time, to perform a gun safety inspection."

It pointed out Harris has worked on developing penalties for gun owners who don't store their firearms as she wants.

"The bill also included broader gun control measures, such as requiring gun distributors to submit an inventory to the police chief every six months and banning the possession of guns in public housing, even if they were legally owned."

Those issues already are law in San Francisco, the report noted.

Harris also has talked about taking action against gun owners by executive order, and not waiting for Congress to make such actions legal.

It was Fox News that reported:

As San Francisco's district attorney, Kamala Harris told legal gun owners in her community that authorities could "walk into" their homes to inspect whether they were storing their firearms properly under a new law she helped draft.

The remarks came during a press conference introducing legislation that Harris helped draft, which sought to impose penalties for gun owners who fail to store their firearms properly at home.

The bill, which at the time had just been introduced to the city's board of supervisors, was ultimately signed into law a few months later by then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. It was bundled with other gun control provisions, including a new requirement for legal gun distributors to submit an inventory to the chief of police every six months, and a ban on possessing guns – even legally – in public housing.

"San Francisco now has the strictest anti-gun laws in the county," Newsom said when he signed the new laws.

Most recently, Harris is claiming there's a need for an "assault weapons" ban although there's no such thing as an "assault weapon" and it's a term commonly used by leftists to try to make firearms appear bad.

A former CIA officer was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison for his role in dozens of sexual attacks against women over the course of 14 years.

The U.S. Department of Justice said Brian Jeffrey Raymond, 48, of La Mesa, California, was on assignment in the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico, when a woman was seen nude and screaming for help from his balcony in May of 2020.

The woman reported to authorities that she had no recollection of events after she was provided food and drink by Raymond. A subsequent investigation revealed Raymond had hundreds of photographs and videos of over 25 women he had drugged and sexually abused while they were unconscious and unable to consent.

After learning of the investigation into his conduct, the DOJ stated Raymond attempted to delete explicit photographs and videos which depicted Raymond manipulating and touching the victims after he had drugged them. In total, Raymond admitted to drugging over 30 women between 2006 and 2020.

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement Raymond's prosecution shows a commitment by the Justice Department to bring criminals to justice – no matter who they are.

"Brian Raymond sexually exploited dozens of women over the course of 14 years, including while he served abroad as a U.S. government employee. Today's sentence underscores the Criminal Division's commitment to prosecuting sexual abuse in violation of federal law – no matter where those violations occur or who commits them. We are grateful for the valuable partnership we have with the Mexican government and will continue to work with our domestic and international partners to pursue justice for victims of sexual exploitation," Argentieri said.

In November 2023, Raymond plead guilty to one count of sexual abuse, one count of abusive sexual contact, one count of coercion and enticement, and one count of transporting obscene material. As part of a plea deal, Raymond admitted to drugging and engaging in non-consensual sex with six women, and admitted he had touched the breasts, buttocks, groin area and/or genitalia of numerous women while they were unable to consent.

Assistant Director in Charge David Sundberg of the FBI Washington Field Office, said the crimes committed by Raymond were reprehensible.

"For 14 years, Raymond exploited his trusted position as a U.S. government representative to lure women into his confidence. He then drugged and sexually assaulted them and took explicit photos and videos of them without their consent. The FBI thanks the brave women who shared information that furthered this investigation. We recognize our domestic and foreign law enforcement partners who helped bring Raymond to justice for his reprehensible crimes," Sundberg said.

According to the Associated Press, U.S. Senior Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly imposed the full 30-year sentence requested by prosecutors.

"It's safe to say he's a sexual predator…You are going to have a period of time to think about this," Kollar-Kotelly said.

Some of the victims were unaware they had been sexually assaulted until the FBI had made contact with them.

"My body looks like a corpse on his bed…Now I have these nightmares of seeing myself dead," one victim said of the photographs. Another victim claimed she had suffered a nervous breakdown after Raymond's crimes against her were exposed.

Raymond said in a statement during his sentencing that he was in a "downward spiral," and has spent hours thinking about his crimes, the report said.

"It betrayed everything I stand for and I know no apology will ever be enough…There are no words to describe how sorry I am. That's not who I am and yet it's who I became," Raymond said.

The DOJ has been under fire from many quarters in recent years for the appearance it has been weaponized against President Donald Trump.

The problem has gone so far that Attorney General Merrick Garland recently publicly claimed that the department is non-partisan and does not make decisions based on politics.

However, it charged President Trump with felonies over possession of government documents after he left office, but gave Joe Biden a pass for boxes and boxes of government secrets he had stashed in an unsecured garage.

Further, the DOJ has weaponized itself by claiming that Trump committed crimes with his statements challenging the accuracy of the 2020 presidential election ballot count, when Hillary Clinton's multiple claims that the election was "stolen" from her have not drawn DOJ criticism.

Even further back was the DOJ's work, based on political documents assembled by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, to make wild claims about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia, which in fact did not happen.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has threatened to use his "subpoena power" to get to the bottom of both assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump, the Post Millenial reported. Blumenthal said the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is "stonewalling" the investigation.

Blumenthal is the chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations under the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. He promised to use the force of his position to thoroughly investigate the two attempts on Trump's life.

The Connecticut Democrat railed against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' Justice Department for obstructing that mission. On Monday, he said the agency was "almost derelict in its duty by resisting our requests for documents, evidence, and information that are necessary to investigate" the attempts.

"We may need to require more cooperation from them. And we have the power to do so through the compulsory process. In other words, the subpoena power," Blumenthal said.

The Two Attempts

The senator has turned on Biden and Harris over this issue. Although Blumenthal has never been a fan of Trump, he is rightly blaming the current administration, if not for its failures to protect the former president, then for its continued obstruction in the probe.

The first assassination attempt occurred on July 13 when Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet. Blumenthal already believes the committee found abysmal failures that can be laid directly at the feet of the Biden-Harris administration.

After all, this happened to Harris' GOP rival under her watch. "I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished, and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former president," Blumenthal said.

"But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank, as it should be to them in terms of providing information," Blumenthal added. If they are hiding something, it's reasonable to ask why.

The second attempt on Trump's life only adds to the suspicion. On Sunday, the Secret Service spotted would-be gunman Ryan Wesley Routh just one hole ahead of where Trump was playing a round of golf, the New York Post reported. How he knew where to find Trump and got so close to him before being discovered leaves many unsettled.

Dangerous Rhetoric

Even if there is none of the stonewalling Blumenthal is alleging, Biden and Harris still share a portion of the blame for what has happened. ABC News reported that Trump believes Democrats' "highly inflammatory language" is inciting people like Routh to violence against him.

"These are people that want to destroy our country. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat," Trump said.

Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, was more direct in blaming the president and vice president. "I know it's popular on a lot of corners of the left to say that ... we have a both-sides problem. And I'm not going to say we're always perfect. I'm not going to say that conservatives always get things exactly right," Vance said in Atlanta at the Georgia Fath and Freedom Dinner Monday.

"But you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that we -- no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months. I'd say that's pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out," Vance added.

Trump has been too close to mortal danger two times in as many months. If there truly is obstruction on the part of the current administration in finding out how and why, Blumenthal's committee needs to get to the bottom of it before another attempt succeeds.

Ryan Wesley Routh, who is implicated in former President Donald Trump's second assassination attempt, may have had "inside information," the UK Daily Mail reported. Routh was arrested after allegedly pointing a rifle through bushes outside the Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach near where the former president was playing.

There are many questions about how and why Routh showed up to the golf course where Trump would be playing a round. Authorities say he was there about 12 hours before he was apprehended.

It's unclear how Routh got so close to Trump without being discovered sooner, especially since there was already one attempt in July to take his life. Moreover, Trump does not make his daily schedule public, which begs the question of how Routh knew where Trump would be and when.

A former top FBI official said this could point to one of several possibilities, including that the gunman was tipped off in Trump's orbit. If that's the case, Trump could be in continued danger.

The Possibilities

The former FBI official said there were one of three "possibilities" to explain this lapse in security. "One is this guy had inside information, and having enough time to get to that fifth hole—that location between the fifth and sixth hole—and get himself set up," the source told the Daily Mail.

When examining the timing, the likelihood that someone fed Routh this information becomes apparent. "So if somebody tipped them off, at the time Trump went off the first tee, it would have been about an hour and 15 hour and 20 minutes before he got to that that spot," the former FBI official said, noting it would give Routh "plenty of time" to set up.

'The other possibility is that he's been surveilling the former president, and either a watching Mar-a- Lago as to when when he leaves, or actually physically following him and his vehicle and determining exactly where he went," the source continued. This is questionable as the Secret Service around him would likely spot when they're being tailed.

The former FBI official had a third theory: Routh simply "got lucky" in guessing Trump would be at that club on that day. Trump often golfs, but the source thinks some happenstance is the least likely explanation.

"I don't think that's the case. I think it's one of the first two, and neither one of them has good implications," the former official concluded.

Employees Questioned

It appears the investigators have similar suspicions about Routh's ability to access the GOP presidential candidate. According to the New York Post, several club workers were asked whether they shared information with someone else.

One employee told the Post that the Secret Service and FBI "asked a couple questions about who I tell when President Trump is here," the staffer said Monday. "They asked everyone if we tell our friends when he comes and goes," the worker added.

Workers are strictly prohibited from sharing that Trump is at the club. "They’ve told us for a long time that we are putting him in danger if we text a friend to say that he’s here, even if the friends are fans of him. So I have never once done that, and I don’t think a lot of my coworkers have either," the staffer said.

They also denied seeing or even knowing Routh after authorities showed them photos. "Everyone was actually really nice to us; they said that we weren’t suspected of anything, and they made sure I wasn’t too shaken up when they started talking to me," the worker said.

It's reasonable to believe that there was some tip-off to Routh that Trump would be there that day. Only time will tell, but it's reasonable to explore several theories in the meantime, including that an insider betrayed him.

Following recent assassination attempts, the Secret Service has flagged significant security gaps at Donald Trump's frequented golf courses.The Secret Service has advised that Donald Trump's security needs major enhancements while he golfs, citing recent threats to his safety, the New York Post reportedThe concerns were voiced after an alarming incident near Trump's West Palm Beach golf club, where an individual armed with an assault rifle was apprehended. Acting Director Ronald Rowe discussed the security issues with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club.

The meeting, occurring just a day after the incident, underscored the vulnerabilities Trump faces at his properties. Ryan Routh, the accused gunman, was found mere hundreds of yards from Trump, leading to urgent calls for fortified security measures.

Routh, equipped with an SKS assault rifle, was quickly neutralized by Secret Service agents, who captured him on a nearby highway shortly after.

Security Enhancements Discussed at Mar-a-Lago

Trump's repeated requests for increased security over the past two years, especially after a close call in July, have been met with resistance due to resource constraints. The July assassination attempt had already heightened concerns within Trump's team.

During the meeting, Rowe proposed that Trump consider golfing at the more secure military base at Joint Base Andrews. The suggestion aims to mitigate risks given the challenges of securing properties adjacent to public roads.

Trump expressed apprehension about the feasibility of continuing his golf routine under such threats, particularly when photographers are nearby.

Comparative Security Concerns Between Current and Former Presidents

The disparity in security between sitting and former presidents has become a focal point, with Trump's aides frustrated over perceived inequities. Unlike Trump, President Biden enjoys robust protection even in public spaces like beaches.

These frustrations are compounded by the fact that Biden, who has spoken with Trump regarding the assassination attempts, agreed that more needs to be done. The provision of additional security, however, hinges on congressional approval for the necessary funding.

Trump's security detail, as voiced in his conversation with Biden, urgently requires more personnel to manage the heightened risks.

Secret Service and Presidential Security at a Crossroads

Recent events have sparked broader discussions on the adequacy of security for high-profile political figures. The Secret Service's quick response to the Routh threat underscored their crucial role in safeguarding former presidents.

Despite appreciating the Secret Service's efforts, the tension during discussions about security enhancements indicates significant concern about the current measures' sufficiency.

The incident has not only brought to light the ongoing security challenges but also the continuous struggle to balance public accessibility with necessary security protocols.

One individual is being "questioned" by authorities after some sort of a "security breach" occurred at a venue just hours before President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a rally there.

There were reports that an explosive had been uncovered.

But the Daily Mail had an explanation, that, "There is a person who is being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by police," according to Nassau County police commissioner Patrick Ryde.

The incident, which has not yet been fully explained, comes just days after a second apparent assassination attempt against the GOP nominee for president in 2024. He was wounded by a sniper in July.

The Daily Mail said police claimed there is "no threat" to Trump or his rally.

The circumstances were described by police as a "suspicious occurrence."

The report noted that police earlier apparently revealed the site "perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed."

The initial reports said authorities "found an explosive device in one of the vehicles" and a driver ended up running into the woods.

Thousands of MAGA supporters are expected to assemble tonight for a rally with Trump.

A Secret Service official later said reports of explosives in a car were incorrect.

Trump was shot in the right ear by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Then last weekend a gunman pointed an AK-47 at the former president while he was playing at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach.

The Gateway Pundit reported Trump's comments at the event in Uniondale, New York, have a start time of 7 p.m. EST.

The report explained, "Nassau County is reeling from the harmful effects of the dangerously liberal policies championed by Kamala Harris and Democrats like Eric Adams. Since Kamala took office, the average New York household has been forced to spend an additional $27,387, including $4,118 more on food, $4,656 on shelter, $3,882 on energy, and $8,621 on transportation. These disastrous economic policies are draining the bank accounts of hardworking New Yorkers.
Nassau County has also felt the dangerous effects of Kamala Harris' open border bloodbath. The flood of illegal immigrants into nearby 'sanctuary,' New York City has unleashed crime and chaos into their community. "

In a stunning revelation about how she would like to exercise a dictatorial control over Americans and their ideas, twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has called for jail for those with ideas that differ from hers.

In an interview she was addressing her concerns about those who were "boosting Trump back in 2016."

"But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. Uh. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence…."

Of course, back in 2016, it was her campaign that funded the creation of a long list of lies about then-candidate Donald Trump, called the Steele Dossier, which she and other Democrats then promoted to try to defeat the eventual GOP president.

One of the claims was that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia against Clinton in the race, a claim that was debunked by a years-long special counsel investigation.

Social media responses immediately pointed out how the Democrat was projecting onto her opponents what she had done, with a meme with the statement "Trump kept kids in cases," and Barack Obama admitting, "That was me." Further was "Trump colluded with Russia" and the response from Clinton, "That was me." And finally, "Trump blackmailed Ukraine!" with the response from Joe Biden, "That was me."

commentary at Twitchy said, "As Twitchy readers know, Hillary Clinton openly called for the jailing of Americans who post 'misinformation'. Misinformation. Right. Gosh, wonder who gets to decide what is and isn't misinformation …"

"In other words, Hillary wants the American people to be afraid of the government. How very Democrat/Authoritarian of her. Almost as if she does not want the little people knowing the truth. Keep in mind, this is the same woman who funded the Russian hoax and has done nothing but push misinformation herself for years and years (decades)."

Elon Musk, who bought Twitter, made it X, and has worked to restore free speech there, commented: "Troubling."

Real Clear Politics reported Clinton's comments were to MSNBC leftist Rachel Maddow, who claimed the Kremlin is "interfering" "in yet another presidential election cycle on Trump's behalf."

Clinton said, "So, I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They're not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish."

A second assassination attempt was made against former President Donald Trump on Sunday when a man identified as Ryan Wesley Routh pointed a rifle at him from the perimeter of his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a news conference Monday, that Florida will be conducting its own investigation into the incident, after Routh faced federal charges of felony possession of a firearm and possessing a gun with a defaced serial number.

"I did announce yesterday we're gonna be doing a state-level investigation. I understand that the feds are involved, but we do believe there were multiple violations of state law, we also believe that there's a need to make sure that the truth about all this, comes out in a way that's credible," DeSantis said.

DeSantis told reporters he doesn't think it's best to have the same people currently prosecuting Trump conducting the investigation of the assassination attempt.

"You know, I mean I look at the federal government, with all due respect to them, you know, those same agencies that are prosecuting Trump in that jurisdiction, are now going to be investigating this? I just think that may not be the best thing for this country. Nevertheless, they have their prerogative, and we have our prerogative, so we'll be making an announcement further along those lines in the ensuing days," DeSantis said.

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino stated during a congressional hearing held recently that the Secret Service had repeatedly nixed security requests from Trump to properly secure his locations. Bongino added the culture has changed since he worked in the Secret Service and has now become politicized.

"From the commentary directed at some of the agents in charge of the Donald Trump detail, which I have heard about, clearly, it appears that for the first time in American history we have a Secret Service that is making decisions that might not be all political, but may have a political tinge to them," Bongino said.

Bongino noted the Secret Service could have done much more to improve Trump's security detail, but they were reluctant because they did not want Trump to look like a "big shot."

"I would love to say 'Congressman that's the craziest thing I've heard,' but I tell you with a pure heart…I absolutely believe Donald Trump and an enhanced security posture he should have had, would have made him look more presidential, would have facilitated the logistical operation of him traveling. I think they [Secret Service] were concerned about optics, and making him look like a big shot or whatever word you wanna throw out there, and they were making some of these decisions based purely on grade-school level politics," Bongino said.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said in response that he didn't want to believe that agencies like the Secret Service and the FBI have become subject to political influence, but them doing so is very damaging to the U.S.

"I didn't want to believe it, but I didn't want to believe it with the FBI either, I didn't want to believe it with the NIH either. I mean, a lot of these agencies that have been, I think, subject to political capture, we want to believe they're above that…but just like in the military, just like at the FBI, I worry about the political capture happening at Headquarters, and then that culture in forming decisions, in a way that's very damaging to the country," Gaetz said.

Gaetz noted any devious intent that is found during the investigation into the Secret Service needs to be rooted out.

"\What Mr. Bongino just said, ought to be the most important work of the United States Congress, to figure out if these decisions were run of the mill incompetence…But if it's something even more darker and more devious than that, that must be rooted out. Because what we've seen at these other agencies of government is, it does not cure itself. It has to be excised, and that investigation is the most important work we can do," Gaetz said.

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., released a whistleblower report on the first assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania in July. In the report, it states there was found to be a "compounding pattern of negligence, sloppiness, and gross incompetence that goes back years, all of which culminated in an assassination attempt that came inches from succeeding."

"On July 13, 2024, former President Donald J. Trump was nearly killed by an assassin's bullet while hosting a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Secret Service failed to prevent it. It was the most stunning breakdown in presidential security since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan," the report states.

The report exposed further instances where the Secret Service failed – which included the agent who was responsible for overseeing the Butler rally failing a key examination during their training as an agent; intelligence units who were supposed to pair with local law enforcement to handle suspicious people were missing; and the hospital that treated Trump after the shooting was also poorly secured.

A recent study reveals that a stunning number of Americans actually support violence against President Donald Trump in order to keep him from returning to the White House.

More than 26 million.

And the results are being cited by a constitutional expert who is warning that those who now are "toying" with such extremism could end up the targets of extremists.

The numbers are from political science teacher Robert Pape's "Political Violence and the Election: Assessing the threat from the Left and the Right."

The June results show that, with a margin of error of about 3%, those 26 million say the "use of force is justified to prevent Trump from becoming president."

The violence and lawfare against Trump, in fact, has generated a faction of some 18 million who also say the use of force is justified to "restore Trump to the presidency."

The study noted those 26 million are "active, dangerous" and have "growth potential."

Nine million of them, for example, own guns, and five million have attended a protest over the last 12 months.

It is a threatening situation, according to Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, author of "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage," and frequent witness before Congress on the Constitution.

He cited a number of politicians working with leftist, and sometimes extreme, groups.

"These politicians are playing a dangerous game in toying with groups like Antifa, which will not stop at threatening their opponents. Politicians like (Minneapolis council member Jeremiah) Ellison could easily find themselves the next target as groups seek to 'strike fear in in the heart' of the establishment."

He called the poll results "a chilling account of the growing radicalism in America, particularly after the second foiled assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump."

In fact, since then multiple organizations have published long lists of individuals, including politicians, celebrities and officials, who have threatened Trump, some calling for his death including one that told a suspected assassin to take shooting lessons to not miss again.

"For some, violent language can become violent action. There is a normalization that can occur as extreme actions become more acceptable to more and more citizens," Turley noted.

He quoted from his own book: "We are living in an age of rage. It permeates every aspect of our society and politics. Rage is liberating, even addictive. It allows us to say and do things that we would ordinarily avoid, even denounce in others. Rage is often found at the farthest extreme of reason. For those who agree with the underlying message, it is righteous and passionate. For those who disagree, it is dangerous and destabilizing."

He pointed to the "unrelenting claims of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and others that democracy is about to die in America," explaining "some now feel a license to commit criminal acts in the name of 'saving democracy.'"

In fact, twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, even after the second assassination attempt against Trump, was on the stump with her favorite message over the years: Trump is a threat.

But Turley said, "It is the ultimate form of self-delusion that one saves democracy by committing political violence against those with whom you disagree."

He cited the attitude as coming from "higher education" into "society at large."

"Years ago, many of us were shocked by the conduct of University of Missouri communications professor Melissa Click who directed a mob against a student journalist covering a Black Lives Matter event. Yet, Click was hired by Gonzaga University. Since that time, we have seen a steady stream of professors joining students in shouting down, committing property damage, participating in riots, verbally attacking students, or even taking violent action in protests," he said.

Now it's common for "professors" to support "strangling police officers, celebrating the death of conservatives, calling for the killing of Trump supporters" and more.

He pointed out, "While Democratic leaders have condemned the second assassination attempt on Trump, they have continued the unhinged rhetoric of how this may be our last election and democracy is about to die in America."

And they've "allied themselves" to violent groups.

One of those is Antifa.

"Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would 'strike fear in the heart' of Trump. This was after Antifa had been involved in numerous acts of violence and its website was banned in Germany. Ellison's son, Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison, declared his allegiance to Antifa in the heat of violent protests," he noted.

A political activist shamed the FBI away from his New Hampshire home after the agents came to his residence to probe a message he posted online indicating: "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero."

Jeremy Kauffman, a Libertarian, recorded his interaction with two gentlemen claiming to be FBI agents, though they refused to show their identification.

"I'm Agent O'Donnell with the FBI," one of the men is heard saying after being asked to identify himself.

"Is that sufficient identification? Is there only one Agent O'Donnell in the FBI?" Kauffman replies.

"In New Hampshire, yes," the agent responds.

"Your full name, sir?" Kauffman asks again.

"Can you please stop recording?" the agent requests.

"No," replies Kauffman, noting it's his "First Amendment right."

Jeremy Kaufffman

Kauffman then asked the second agent: "What's your name, sir?"

"Can you stop recording?" the second agent asks, as he never provides his name.

"Absolutely not," Kauffman insists. "I'm going to go back inside my house."

Eventually, the agents departed, as Kauffman extended his middle finger to them on camera.

The activist posted the video online with the caption: "The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes. You can see the shame on their faces. This is the Democratic regime manifest."

The since deleted post by Kauffman came Sunday, the same day a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was foiled in West Palm Beach, Florida.

U.S. Attorney Jane Young said: "We are aware of the tweet. Although the department generally will not confirm or deny any specific investigation, threatening violence is a crime and those who do this will be investigated, prosecuted, and held to account in a court of law."

A Secret Service spokesman told NBC10 Boston: "The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the social media post made by the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, and as a matter of practice, we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence. We can say, however, that the Secret Service investigates all threats related to our protectees."
