Greetings and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links.
As you can well imagine, the main things on my mind this week in terms of the news cycle are the second attempt at assassinating President Trump (precisely when the Dems were already "setting the table"), and the spectacular, large-scale gender reassignment/circumcision/population control operation executed against Hizballs-nah! Coming soon to a funeral, coffee maker and radio near you.
It's probably too early to say who done it. Some people just did something, I guess. Julia Song has some thoughts on how it all went down.
As Batya Ungar-Sargon rightly points out, everything the Democrats accuse Republicans of is a confession. And as Mark has pointed out, they simply want Trump dead. Listen to what these evil people say clearly and slowly.
The only answers to evil are faith, courage and to "resist, resist, resist" and fight, fight, fight.
The situation is very fluid, and who knows what the coming week will bring, but I would encourage you to read this X post by JD Vance. I especially appreciated how he pulls together the various threads of the events that we are witnessing, and how he spells out the inevitable end result so articulately and clearly.
"...I'm asking all of us to reject censorship. Reject the idea that you can control what other people think and say. Embrace persuasion of your fellow citizens over silencing them--either through the powers of Big Tech or through moral blackmail.
I think this will make our public debate much better. But there's something else. Reject censorship and you reject political violence. Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf.
The reason is simple. The logic of censorship leads directly to one place, for there is only one way to permanently silence a human being: put a bullet in his brain."
It's happening all around us. We are now on the road to permanent silence. Only now, this evil, global movement is being assisted by Tech Giants, various evil billionaires and the governments that are supposed to serve the people.
Resist, resist, resist.
Fight, fight, fight.
Pray, pray, pray.
Have a good weekend and I'll see you in the comments.

NO KIDDING. Or, putting my tin foil hat on, maybe he did because none of it makes sense otherwise.

Anyone notice a common denominator with these "British men"?
