Back in 1975, a radical leftist from San Francisco named Sara Jane Moore tried to shoot Republican President Gerald Ford. Luckily, she missed and was caught. She was tried, convicted and sent to prison for life.

Eventually, many years later, she was freed on parole, but no one ever forgot who she was or what she tried to do.

She died this week at age 95.

The New York Times reports:

Sara Jane Moore, Would-Be Assassin of President Ford, Dies at 95

Sara Jane Moore, the middle-aged radical and mother of four who fired two errant shots at President Gerald R. Ford outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on Sept. 22, 1975, with a vague notion of igniting a leftist revolution in America, died on Wednesday at a nursing home in Franklin, Tenn. She was 95.

Demetria Kalodimos, a reporter for The Nashville Banner who had developed a friendship with Ms. Moore, confirmed the death, which was first reported by The Banner.

Ms. Moore’s attempt to kill Mr. Ford occurred only 17 days after another would-be assassin, Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme, a follower of the cult leader Charles Manson, pointed a gun at the president in a crowd at Sacramento but was seized before she could fire.

In San Francisco, about 3,000 people were gathered near Union Square for a glimpse of the president as he left the St. Francis Hotel. Ms. Moore, 45, who had been questioned by Secret Service agents the day before but then released, was standing across the street, 40 to 50 feet away from the commander in chief. She drew a chrome-plated .38-caliber revolver and fired at the president. The shot missed, and she raised the gun for a second shot.

Oliver W. Sipple, a former Marine, deflected the gun just as she fired. The bullet narrowly missed the president, ricocheted off a wall and grazed a bystander. Pandemonium erupted as Mr. Ford, unhurt, was hustled into a limousine by Secret Service agents and sped away. Mr. Sipple and two police officers seized Ms. Moore.

Ten years ago, CNN interviewed Sara Jane Moore and host Alisyn Camerota asked her why she did it. Her answers are eerily similar to what is happening in the country today. Watch:

In many ways, it feels as though we are living through a repeat of history.

EMERSON POLL: Republican Jack Ciattarelli Tied With Democrat Mikie Sherril in New Jersey Governor’s Race — Scott Presler Rallies The Grassroots!

EMERSON POLL: Republican Jack Ciattarelli Tied With Democrat Mikie Sherril in New Jersey Governor’s Race — Scott Presler Rallies The Grassroots!
September 25, 2025

The New Jersey gubernatorial race is currently a dead heat, according to the latest Emerson poll.

Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democratic Mikie Sherril are currently tied at 34 percent.

The poll’s results were explained by Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling:

The first Emerson College general election survey of New Jersey’s 2025 election for Governor reveals a tightly contested race in the Garden State. Young voters, under 40, break for Sherrill by large margins, 58% to 24%.

The race tightens to seven points among voters in their 40s, with Sherrill leading 47% to 40%, then Ciattarelli flips the script among voters over 50, leading Sherrill 52% to 36% among this group.

A stark gender divide also emerges among Garden State voters: women break for Sherrill by ten points, 46% to 36%, while men break for Ciattarelli by 12 points, 51% to 39%.

Notably, women are over twice as likely to be undecided at 15% compared to 6% of men.

Both President Trump and Governor Murphy are underwater among Jersey voters. Sherrill is trying to tie Ciattarelli to Trump, at the national level, and Ciattarelli is trying to tie Sherrill to Murphy and the cost of living at the state level.

Conservative activist Scott Presler is urging the Republican grassroots to try and push Ciattarelli over the line.

During a debate between the two candidates Monday evening, Ciattarelli pointed out how his opponent had become far wealthier since entering politics, while in his case it has negatively affected his personal wealth.

Jack Ciattarelli previously ran in the 2021 gubernatorial election against incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy, losing by just over three percent.

Conservative Talk Host Matt Walsh Asks a Million Dollar Question – What if the Parties Were Reversed Over the Last Two Weeks?

Conservative Talk Host Matt Walsh Asks a Million Dollar Question – What if the Parties Were Reversed Over the Last Two Weeks?

Conservative talk host Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire has just performed a fascinating thought experiment. What would happen if the parties were reversed over the course of the last two weeks? Would things have played out differently?

You better believe they would have.

Walsh really puts it into perspective here. He broke it all down in a lengthy post on Twitter/X that has been viewed millions of times.

Here’s an excerpt:

Imagine that we have a Democrat administration. Now imagine that a right wing radical shot and killed one of the most influential liberals in the country on live TV. Now imagine that thousands of other conservatives shamelessly celebrated the assassination and called for more of them. Now imagine that in the same week another right winger shot up a country club while shouting “MAGA” and another one shot up a news station and left behind a manifesto complaining about liberal bias in the media.

Now imagine that a week after all of those attacks, a conservative sniper perched on a rooftop fired into a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing or injuring multiple people. And imagine that this Planned Parenthood attack was just the latest in a string of them stretching back several months.

Is there any doubt how the Democrats would respond? Is there any doubt that they would wage a full scale war on conservatives and have people like me frog marched in front of cameras in handcuffs and leg irons? Is there any doubt that they would declare martial law and label all right wing expression incitement? Is there any doubt that they would be rounding up conservatives by the bus load and shipping us to Gitmo?

Is there any doubt that they would have Fox News and every other conservative media company shut down and its executives arrested or sued into bankruptcy?

Walsh goes on to explain that he is not even advocating for the right to do what the left would do, but that he does want the Trump administration to act in order to save lives.

It’s also an important scenario to imagine, because Walsh is right, we all do know how Democrats and the media would react. They need to be reminded of that.

NEW: Biden Judge Assigned to Comey’s Criminal Case

NEW: Biden Judge Assigned to Comey’s Criminal Case
September 25, 2025

A Biden-appointed judge was assigned to oversee James Comey’s criminal case on Thursday evening.

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia – false statements and obstruction.

James Comey will reportedly surrender on Friday morning. Why aren’t the feds slapping leg irons on James Comey like they did with Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro?

Comey will be arraigned on October 9. Former US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is representing Comey.

US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff was ‘randomly’ assigned to Comey’s case after the former FBI agent was indicted on two federal criminal counts by a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.

“Nachmanoff, who sits in a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, has had some brushes with Trump world before. As a federal magistrate judge, Nachmanoff presided over the 2019 arraignment of two associates of Rudy Giuliani — Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — who were charged with campaign finance violations. He released them on a $1 million bond,” Politico reported.

Comey lashed out at President Trump after a grand jury returned a two-count indictment on Thursday evening.

“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way,” a visibly rattled Comey said in a video posted to social media.

“We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right, but I’m not afraid, and I hope you’re not either,” Comey said.

Kamala Harris message to supporters after losing 2024 election

If you pay attention to politics at all, you know there is a running gag about Kamala Harris being a massive lush. Whether it is true or not, sometimes she just sounds drunk when she is talking.

At WPHT Radio in Philadelphia, one of the on-air hosts decided to see what it would sound like if he slowed down a recording of her reading her book by 30 percent and the results are comedy gold.

The clip has been making the rounds on various social media platforms.

The Daily Caller even reported on it:

On a much lighter note, however, on Tuesday, a talk radio show out of Philadelphia brilliantly played a snippet of Harris’ book, albeit slowed down. The result was hilarious, and it certainly sounded as if Harris were drunk. The way her words get draaaaaaaaawn out is usually a tell-tale sign of inebriation.

Back in July, Harris posted a TikTok in which she claimed she had not been slinging adult beverages during her absence from the public eye.

“Everyone thinks you’ve been kicking back, drinking margaritas on the beach, but really you’ve been hard at work writing a book, meeting with leaders, thinking about the future of our country,” Harris said, a reference to a dorky TikTok trend at that time in which participants turn their heads away from the camera, concealing their mouths while delivering audacious statements…

Of course, she probably wasn’t drunk during the recording; however, it wouldn’t shock me if she was. I also wouldn’t blame her. The ghostwritten book seems so bad that you almost have to be drunk reading it; otherwise, the experience would be akin to something like torture.

Listen below, this is really funny:

Maybe Kamala should consider leaving politics and going into entertainment.
