Americans watched justice move quickly this week as a federal jury found Ryan Wesley Routh guilty of the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump, a chilling reminder that political violence is not a theoretical threat but a real danger to our republic. The verdict, returned after prosecutors laid out careful evidence of planning and intent, should silence anyone who thought attacks on conservatives would be treated as anything less than a national emergency.
The courtroom drama didn’t end with the verdict: Routh, reportedly distraught, tried to harm himself as the jury’s decision was read — a grotesque coda that underscores both his instability and the seriousness of what he tried to accomplish. That attempted self-harm was quickly stopped by marshals, and the episode ought to remind every American how close we came to losing a leader because of political hatred.
Make no mistake: this was not random madness that fell from the sky. Prosecutors showed Routh had surveilled the site, accumulated military-style weapons and made concrete preparations that moved beyond fantasy into a clear, prosecutable attempt. We must praise the Secret Service, FBI, and local law enforcement whose vigilance stopped a catastrophe and who deserve the full support of a grateful nation.
While the country digests that verdict, President Trump used his day at the United Nations to deliver a message many Americans have been waiting to hear: put your nation first, secure your borders, and reject the dangerous globalist policies that hollow out Western prosperity. His blunt defense of sovereignty and refusal to bow to the UN’s climate and migration orthodoxy was a welcome corrective to decades of elite appeasement.
On his show Greg Kelly blasted the “weirdness” at the United Nations and called out the hypocrisy of institutions that lecture America while failing to secure their own houses. That kind of no-nonsense media commentary is exactly what patriotic Americans need — a voice that points out the rot in international institutions and defends national interests rather than apologizing for them.
This moment should harden our resolve, not our fear. We must back tougher enforcement against political violence, demand accountability from an out-of-touch elite, and rally behind leaders who put America first. The hard-working people who built this country want safety, pride, and common sense in foreign policy; it’s time the rest of Washington caught up.
