One of my favorite Western reruns is "The Rifleman," starring the steely-jawed Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain.
In one episode, John Hamilton, president of North Fork's first bank, tried to talk a buzz of skeptical townsfolk into putting their lifesavings into the "absolute safety" of his bank.
The crowd didn't budge until Hamilton introduced his new security guard, former gunslinger Floyd Doniger, who awed the crowd by shooting plates in mid-air as fast as Hamilton's men tossed them up.
It worked. The townsfolk streamed into the bank with their lifesavings.
Doniger, now perched on a loft with a ready rifle, scanned the bank like a human security camera. After securing the people's trust, the new "security guard" was now in the perfect position to rob them blind.
The plan was simple. When accomplices stormed the bank, Doniger had one job: Do nothing.
Deluded by the theater of Doniger's grand lie, the bank's president was a pillar of calm when accomplices stormed the bank and stuffed their bags with the people's money. With an assured grin, Hamilton peered at Doniger's perch and signaled for him to shoot the bastards.
Doniger did nothing.
Paralyzed with shock, Hamilton realized that the man he used to win the people's trust was a cold, calculating bank robber.
That's what happened in Obama's third term (disguised as Biden years), after "one of the most secure elections in American history."
It was all a grand lie.
Dressed in fancy titles, people guaranteeing the "absolute safety" of our national treasures were actually political psychopaths planning all along to rob the country blind, to "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

The plan was simple. When accomplices allowed COVID mandates to destroy lives, millions to breach the border, crime to destroy cities, and race and gender to defy human nature, the "protectors" had one job: Do nothing.
It worked.
When violent mobs disguised as protesters toppled statues, robbed stores, destroyed property, and killed innocent people, leftist accomplices, disguised as elected officials, did nothing.
When snipers at Abbey Gate had terrorists in their sights and begged for permission to shoot the bastards, cowards disguised as military leaders answered with an order: "Do nothing." Thirteen U.S. servicepeople were killed.
When terrorists, disguised as "friendlies," poured into America unvetted, soldiers with battlefront experience were ignored.
At the time, former Army Captain Sean Parnell warned with a story about an Afghan, posing as an interpreter, who ended up plotting to kill Americans.
The interpreter worked with the platoon "in every fight" for over a year, while secretly coordinating with Iranians to plant a landmine on a route to kill his platoon.
"… [He] had been with us every step of the way," Parnell said in 2021, "… someone who we thought was our friend! … Just because an Afghan … is friends with us does not actually mean that they're safe to bring here. … And quite frankly, I can't believe we even have to have this conversation."
Too late.
When Biden's administration painted the botched Afghan evacuation as "an extraordinary success," his generals did nothing. The silence shocked Marine infantry officer LtCol Stuart Scheller into calling for accountability. He was jailed, court-martialed, and discharged.
COVID madness, disguised as a pandemic response, was actually the scheming of a global cabal exploiting extreme fear to trigger a "Great Reset" of the world. Dr. "Frankenstein" Fauci – a Trojan Horse for science – demonized repurposed drugs, downplayed natural immunity, and ignored the safety signals blaring against the experimental "vaccine."
When the COVID response damaged children, destroyed businesses, ended careers, and undermined science, Fauci – a crook disguised as a "security guard" for science – did nothing.
In that "Rifleman" episode, the corner turned after the truth became clear to Lucas McCain. McCain confronted Doniger, killed him in a shootout, and returned the money – a happy ending.
That's what we expected after it became clear that crimes were being committed, under color of law, by a web of scoundrels with fancy titles at the highest levels of government.
But, remarkably, America's Donigers are still on the loose and vowing to finish the job. Worse, because too many "townsfolk" are still deluded by the theater of grand lies, the mayhem not only continues, but the crooks are dropping their disguises:
Trump's nearly murdered.
Charlie Kirk murdered.
Hamas sympathizers activated, Oct. 8.
Islamists and their useful idiots (Marxists) infiltrate the Democratic Party.
An Islamist, posing as a socialist, elected mayor of New York.
Democrats team with violent mobs to assault ICE and border agents.
"Veterans" call for the military to disobey "unlawful orders."
An Islamist killed a National Guardswoman.
All to oppose Trump, who's not their real problem. We are.
Trump's elections were never about Trump. It's all about the national treasure, stupid – our values, national identity, and load-bearing institutions. We hired Trump because Obama, disguised as a patriot, put that treasure at grave risk. Remember?
It's now being robbed, in plain sight, by psychopaths with fancy titles "fighting, fighting, fighting" against the real protectors; protectors who're using extreme measures to address extreme problems, within the confines of politics.
Yet, politics hasn't shut down the crazies. They've chosen to declare domestic war, instead, disguising it as politics. It's not. It's extremely dangerous.
With his reelection, Trump – the single most indispensable figure of our time – cracked open a window for genuine politics to work.
But even if it fails, and political sociopaths shut that window – with or without Trump – it will only force a nation of Lucas McCains, watching this stuff for years, to be activated. How? Who knows?
And this may be the grand deception: that these still-rugged, common-sense people – horribly burned in the "O'Biden" years – will always sit back and do nothing as thieves, pretending to "protect democracy," use strategic lies to rob America blind.
It won't happen. Why? Because it was these people who hired Trump in the first place – to do something!
And we're not going anywhere.
