We all know that Trump was shot in the ear during the assassination attempt. And many others had minor injuries. Children were bawling at the sudden violence. A Texas representative reported that his nephew was grazed by a bullet in his neck for instance. Another injury that was maybe an inch from being fatal. Two rally goers were critically injured and Life Flighted to the hospital for treatment. And then there was the fifty-year old former Chief Firefighter who threw his family down when the bullets started flying. He covered them and protected them from the bullet that killed him right there. Never forget the victims of this assassination and never forget the rhetoric that incited it.

I was playing games with friends on Saturday when the news came down. We looked at each other and said that it was time for that. We were not surprised. We’ve been studying the rhetoric put out by the Democrat leadership, the Left, and the Main Stream Media, but I repeat myself, for the last decade and this is where it was all leading. They’ve been calling him Hitler, authoritarian, a dictator, a rapist, a traitor, and more over the last decade. They’ve called his supporters Domestic Terrorists and threats to America. They’ve assaulted and sometimes killed Trump supporters who came to Trump rallies. It was only a matter of time before someone took a shot at Trump himself. The question wasn’t if, it was when and who. In this case, it was a twenty-year old kid who lived his entire conscious life hearing this rhetoric from the Left. He didn’t ask to grow up surrounded by Left wing violence. But he did, and he killed a firefighter before going down. And that is truly tragic.

The Twenty-Fourth Amendment is yet another amendment aimed at modifying the voting electorate. In this case the target was the unjust use of poll taxes to stop people from voting if they could not pay the tax. These poll taxes were most often targeted at blacks, poor whites, and women if the State in question did not want those parts of the population to vote. This amendment banned the use of poll taxes, or any other tax, to deprive people of the right to vote.
