The left’s true face is becoming visible. You like it, America?
It’s strange how small gestures can sometimes echo events taking place on much larger stages. It may well be the same impulse acting simultaneously at the human level and on the global.
Last week an elderly man slapped a young man scarcely out of boyhood across the face in public for no rational reason. It did not occur during an argument; no such argument took place. Rather, the old man was responding to reasoned statements with an unhinged tirade totally at odds with the circumstances.
On election day in Laconia, New Hampshire, 70-year-old Steven Redic confronted Rainer Vesey, an 18-year-old volunteer spokesman for Charley Kirk’s Turning Point manning a table at a polling place. The early moments of the incident are unrecorded, but what we get to see is enough. That consists of Redic shouting at Vesey, cutting him off, not allowing him to speak, and at last slapping him across the face.
Onlookers reacted with shock. Only after a few seconds did somebody say, “Call the police.” By then Redic is walking off, moving pretty quickly for a man his age, shoulders slightly hunched in the posture of somebody actively fleeing.
This occurred simultaneously with a number of other incidents as the American left celebrated its anticipated return to power.
Somebody released a 182-page “hit list” of targets the Democrats want to gang up on as soon as they enter office in January. This includes a number of high-tech corporations such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI, Oracle, and Palantir, along with the executives, the Trump family, cabinet members, government officials, and needless to say, Elon Musk. It’s not likely to stop there.
In recent months, James Carville has been speaking in measured tones like a man worthy of civilized, intelligent debate. That’s all gone now. In his latest clip, he comes across as a badly animated cadaver, looming into the lens while ranting about how “We gone git that-there Donal’ Trump and his whole famla, das right.”
Then we have podcaster Jennifer Welch, a strange-looking female with the fixed gaze of a department-store mannequin, who, while speaking to Angie Sullivan – apparently another podcaster — responded to an online posting by talking about how she’d like to dig up Charley Kirk so she could “kill him again.” The two of them then laughed uncontrollably for the better part of a minute. Welch went on to claim that “He was shot by a MAGA person. White person, White MAGA family.”
This, playmates, is the real left on display. They’re not going out of control. They’ve always been this way. They’re just showing it now because, after one victory, they think they can get away with it.

Their problem is – they can’t. Redic was arrested and charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct. He calls himself a “poet.” What rhymes with indictment?
As for Jennifer Welch, she immediately shed most of her sponsors. Her anchor sponsor, Cash App, announced, “We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast.” Eyewear manufacturer Zenni followed in short order, along with bedding company Boll and Branch and pet outlet Chewy. A transparently fake apology did nothing to slow down the stampede.
This will continue, and it will continue to cost them. The left always shoots itself in the foot. They can’t help themselves – they are going to take it all the way down the line. They really think they’ve got a blank check and can do any damnfool thing that gets into their heads. And that’s the way it should be. They need to be encouraged in this, provoked into expressing themselves to the ultimate degree, to living up to their carefully nurtured self-image as bloodthirsty, destructive, hateful Lokis. Do that, and you’ve won half the battle.
Of course, that brings us to the question of why our team can’t take advantage of it. Which we will have to learn to do.
