I make that three assassination attempts so far. That we know of!!! And all three have failed. The first one either by fortuitous turn of the head or by sniper ineptitude, the second because walking round a golf course which has 635 security guards whilst carrying an assault rifle over your shoulder may possibly attract notice. And the third never happened. The nation of Iran plotted an assassination from afar, by proxy, as that horribly nasty, dirty-deedy nation does all its business, but it was foiled.

And my question is: HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU MISS SUCH A MASSIVE FUCKING TARGET AS DONALD J. TRUMP?????

And it’s not like he ‘blends into the background’, he bright orange FFS. But it begs the question as to whether he’ll last his term as president. There must be at least 1 decent assassin in America. Or Iran. Surely?

Obviously, I don’t want him dead, that wouldn’t help anything, but I’m thinking of placing a bet and I’m not sure what the odds should be.

Meanwhile, over in Europe, the worst ‘pogrom’ since the war (not counting 7/Oct/23) occurred on Thursday night in Amsterdam. Where Macabi Tel Aviv visited to play Ajax in the Europa League. And after which, a few hundred ‘locals’ organised themselves into a strategic attack on Israeli fans as they returned to their hotels in small groups. A series of premeditated, orchestrated hit-and-runs, with their taxi-driver mates telling them where to go.

The leaders in Holland are beside themselves, they’ve never really got over Anne Frank, and now yet again they failed to protect Jews. Geert Wilders, the ultra right wing politician and populist leader now has more grist to his mill of anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant narrative. And, on the anniversary of Krystallnacht, which is today, FFS, it firstly resonates deeply and secondly makes everyone in Paris, London, Brussels and most other large, ‘multi-cultural’ cities, start to seriously worry.

And I’m not a natural ‘worryer’. More a natural ‘moaner’.

Happy Saturday
