As a nation, with only 86.2 million head of cattle in 2026, we&#39;re at a 75-year low. And friends, that&#39;s something for us to address.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears that American ranchers are right now in a long-term liquidation phase. Frankly, from everyone who I&#39;ve talked to about this, American ranchers are being forced to either choose liquidation or face bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Also known in the cattle industry, as a &quot;contraction phase&quot; of the natural cattle cycle, that means producers are sending cows to slaughter rather than retaining them for breeding. The contraction phase, also known as a liquidation phase, can be a multi-year period where ranchers reduce the total size of the U.S. beef herd by selling more cows and heifers for slaughter rather than keeping them for breeding.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This phase generally lasts three to four years and is a direct response to low profitability, high production costs, or external factors like drought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Again, it&#39;s all about ranchers going through a lot of economic pressure and stress over the lack of water and poor pasture conditions, which reduces the ability of ranchers to feed their herd, forcing premature liquidation; high feed costs, and inflation-driven costs often make it unprofitable to keep cows, forcing producers to sell; and a high rate of cows failing to get pregnant leads to increased involuntary culling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, with high slaughter rates, which is when a high volume of breeding cows and heifers are being sent to slaughter, combined with reduced heifer retention, which means instead of keeping heifers to replace older cows in the herd, ranchers sell them for beef, that reduces the potential for future calves. Do that too often, and the result is a decrease in total U.S. beef cow inventory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ranchers make these sorts of tough decisions for a lot of reasons, mostly, it has to do with reduced profitability. Because of low calf prices, the market becomes flooded with beef, which pushes prices down. Rising costs for feed, fuel, and fertilizer can make it unprofitable to hold-on to cows, especially if they are not producing high-value calves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, high interest rates is another huge factor for why American herd levels are at their lowest in 75 years. High interest rates discourage investment in expansion or to rebuild. In many cases, because of a money crunch, ranchers who face high interest rates on loans to rebuild their herd are forced to liquidate their assets to reduce their debt.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for replacing aging or inefficient cows? In one respect, liquidation does allow a rancher to cull older cows, or those with poor health, which in the long run should help improve the genetic and productive potential of the remaining herd.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for involuntary culling? That&#39;s when a rancher has a high rate of infertility, which are cows that are &quot;open&quot; or failed to conceive. Involuntary culling can often drive down a rancher&#39;s herd size. It&#39;s just not profitable to keep them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While researching this subject, I&#39;ve talked with ranchers both big and small. And while I mentioned some aspects of their economic troubles above, there&#39;s no getting around the fact that droughts have gone on for a few years in major beef-producing states such as Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. In some cases, those droughts have forced ranchers to sell off cattle because of a lack of water and grazing land.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Right now, as of May of 2026, it&#39;s said that nearly three-quarters of the U.S. cattle herd is being impacted by significant drought conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Widespread drought forces rancher liquidations because they simply cannot maintain cows due to lack of pasture, grazing land, or water. A lack of hay, or silage, makes it physically impossible or economically unviable to keep cattle through the winter. This forces ranchers into selling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lack of forage means more cost to the rancher. And, for the most part, the number one reason for cattle producers to liquidate their herds has to do with the soaring costs for fuel, feed, and transportation. It&#39;s hard to stay in business when it&#39;s a losing proposition. When the costs involved in maintaining a herd isn&#39;t profitable, that&#39;s going to lead to ranchers facing forced liquidation. That&#39;s the bottom line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For today, because more cows are sent to market, the short-term supply of beef has increased. But, that&#39;s not a good thing because the long-term shortage because the liquidation of breeding animals means fewer calves are born in the following years. This leads to a sharp decline in beef production 2–3 years later. The cycle continues until the herd is small enough that reduced supply triggers high enough calf prices to make rebuilding (expansion) profitable again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m told that the current cycle is unique. I&#39;m told that as of early 2025, the cattle industry has experienced an extended &quot;contraction phase&quot; that dates back to 2019/2020. ) due to multiple years of drought and operating costs, leading to some of the smallest cattle inventory numbers in decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here the irony, according to everything that I&#39;ve been taught about this, this phase often happens when cattle prices are high. The high prices encourage producers to sell animals for immediate profit. Of course, by doing that, that shrinks the herd which eventually makes the number of cattle even a lot fewer -- which will also drives prices even higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From what I was told on this, the contraction phase is a natural cattle cycle that takes place as about every four years as a reaction to periods of ranchers over-expanding while trying to restore profitability when high costs, falling beef prices, or environmental constraints make maintaining a large herd unsustainable. This sort of liquidation occurs when producers reduce their breeding herd, by selling their cows and heifers for slaughter rather than keeping them for reproduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So now, let&#39;s talk about one more aspect of why as of February of 2026, the United States cattle herd has reached its lowest level since 1951. With only 86.2 million head of cattle in 2026, we&#39;re at a 75-year low.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do I think there are legitimate reasons for this? Yes, I do. And now, we need to talk about the number one issue that all Americans should be concerned with in regards to this subject.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wasn&#39;t exaggerating when I said that for the most part, the number one reason for cattle producers to liquidate their herds is the soaring costs for fuel, feed, and transportation. It&#39;s hard to stay in business when it&#39;s a losing proposition. When the costs involved in maintaining a herd isn&#39;t profitable, that&#39;s going to lead to ranchers facing forced liquidation. That&#39;s the bottom line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;But there is something that&#39;s even bigger than that on the long term. The fact is, America&#39;s ranchers are getting older. And yes, an aging ranching workforce and persistent labor shortages have contributed to the decline in the number of cattle being produced. I really believe that this is a crisis taking place right now in American agricultural. It&#39;s a crisis that we need to find solutions for.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The decline in cattle that we see today is driven by a combination of high costs, drought, government over-regulations which I will talk about in my next article, and a seriously shrinking workforce in ranching because our ranchers are getting older.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The average age of American ag producers is over 58, with 40% of producers over the age of 65. As these ranchers retire, many simply don&#39;t have the successors needed to take over. This is causing operations to either shut down or reduce size. And frankly, that&#39;s something for all of us to worry about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Older ranchers are said to be less likely to invest in rebuilding their herds because it&#39;s expensive. That&#39;s especially true when it comes to long-term expansion projects. So instead, many older ranchers are preferring to sell herds rather than rebuild them during challenging environmental or economic times. Some ranchers are selling out all together to developers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And besides the ranchers, there is the problem of finding workers. It&#39;s said that&amp;nbsp;87% of farmers report difficulty in finding necessary labor. And, since the livestock industry depends on manual labor for demanding, often dangerous work, ranching jobs are getting more and more difficult to fill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The effect of older ranchers and lack of workers has has a huge impact on cattle production. As mentioned above, high operating cost in fuel and feed, rising labor costs, high interest loans, surviving government over-regulations, all combined, is forcing cattle producers to sell their cattle early. Yes, including selling their essential breeding heifers. This all leads to a smaller tighter supply of beef for America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The combination of fewer ranchers and fewer workers means that the U.S. beef cow herd has dropped to its lowest level in over 70 years.&amp;nbsp;Because rebuilding herds takes years, the challenges for the next generation of Americans is made worst by the high cost of entering the cattle industry. Just the cost alone of wanting to get involved in putting together a small herd is today preventing younger Americans from wanting to replace retiring ranchers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So what&#39;re the solutions to replace our aging ranchers? Well, we can start by focusing on recruiting Veterans and other younger Americans, increasing education in schools, create the equivalent of a trade school for ranching, leverage modern technology to assist younger ranchers, make ranching and farming economically appealing, structure low-interest loans for ranchers and farmers to keep them solvent, and maybe we can find ways to ease retirement transitions with interested people who want to step into a ranching operation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have to expand agricultural education in schools, and offer financial incentives to young and veterans who want to be producers. There is a lot of emphasis on computers these days. And yes, America is producing AI tech folks out the ying-yang. But frankly, AI can&#39;t produce cattle. And really, there is a ton of truth in the saying: No farmers -- No food.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So yes, Americans need to support educational programs to get young people interested in being producers. We can increase support for FFA and 4-H to encourage younger generations to enter agriculture. Also, we can develop apprenticeship programs that formally mentor those interested in becoming cattle producers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Veteran recruitment is a way to get Veterans who don&#39;t want to live in cities and deal with the urban sprawl into the country where they&#39;d be happier. Speaking for myself, it would have been outstanding if something that like that was available to me when I completed my first active duty enlistment. We should try to connect interested Veterans to those who have the information they need. Utilizing training programs like the Farmer Veteran Coalition is a way to connect veterans with ranching jobs. All we can do is try.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Tom Correa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

I&#39;m amazed that Democrats have not changed since the Civil War. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My claim that the Democratic Party&#39;s &quot;playbook&quot; is the same today as it was in 1865 when they incited Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln is supported by historical facts about the political landscape of the time compared to the same political landscape today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a historical context John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Booth was a staunch Confederate sympathizer and supporter of slavery. And yes, he loathed President Lincoln as if he knew the president on a personal level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did John Wilkes Booth hate President Lincoln? Because Democratic Party propaganda told him to.&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Research will tell you that John Wilkes Booth hated President Lincoln because Booth was a &quot;White supremacist,&quot; a fanatic Confederate sympathizer, and that he had an &quot;intense anger&quot; over President Lincoln abolishing slavery. Research will also tell you that Booth was not a registered member of the Democratic Party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, researching Booth&#39;s supposed non-affiliation with the Democratic Party would certainly give someone the ammunition, so to speak, they need to refute my claim that John Wilkes Booth hated President Lincoln because Democratic Party propaganda told him to.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this were a news story today on the Democrat-controlled Mainstream Media, Democrat spokespeople would be on television screaming, &quot;See, the shooter, Booth, was not a registered Democrat.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They would say, &quot;Because he was not a registered Democrat, his act was not incited by Democrat leaders&quot; -- even though Democrat leaders are using hate speech to incited violence and get one of their followers to assassinate the President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with their argument is that it is a historical fact that the Confederacy was led by, funded by, and primarily supported by Democrats. We know for a fact that the vast majority of Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War were Democrats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans were not Confederate sympathizers. In fact, during the Civil War (1861–1865), there were effectively no members of the newly formed Republican Party within the Confederacy. Let&#39;s remember, the Republican Party was created to oppose the Democratic Party, and their slave owner mentality which wanted to see slavery expanded into other states as they were being admitted to the Union. That&#39;s why Democrats started the Civil War. They didn&#39;t get their way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m tell you, Democrats haven&#39;t changed in more than 200 years. If they don&#39;t get their way, they become extremely violent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that Booth was a staunch Confederate sympathizer who hated President Lincoln because Lincoln was a Republican. Does that sound familiar to the crazies today who hate President Trump just because he&#39;s a Republicans? You bet it does. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know Booth was influenced by a hostile political climate. And yes, even back in the Civil War, Democrats were attacking President Lincoln for being a &quot;King&quot; to incite hatred and violence against Lincoln. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Democrats attack President Abraham Lincoln as a &quot;King&quot; and a &quot;Tyrant&quot; during the Civil War in the very same way Democrats today are attacking President Trump for acting like a &quot;King&quot; and &quot;Tyrant&quot;?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br /&gt;The answer is yes. During the Civil War, both Northern and Southern Democrats, especially those &quot;Copperhead&quot; Democrats in the North who rooted for the South to win, attacked President Abraham Lincoln as a &quot;Tyrant,&quot; &quot;Despot,&quot; and a &quot;King&quot;. Democrats often accused him of violating the Constitution through actions like suspending habeas corpus, shutting down newspapers, and enacting military arrests during the war.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a valid comparison. In the 1860s, Democrats attacked President Lincoln in pamphlets and in newspapers. Democrat talking point at the time, &quot;Lincoln has made himself a king.&quot; Democrats would say this while accusing President Lincoln of all sorts of false crimes to validate their rhetoric of calling Lincoln a &quot;King&quot; who they said ignored or violated the civil liberties of Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, Democrats are using the same playbook that they used during the Civil War to get a follower like Booth to assassinate President Trump. The Democrat&#39;s modern-day attacks on President Trump are the same in that Democrats have today again likened a Republican President, in this case President Donald Trump, to a &quot;Corrupt would-be King&quot; and &quot;Tyrant,&quot; even going so far as to call President Trump a &quot;Dictator.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as for a person like Booth, someone who would willingly drank the Kool Aid that the Democratic Party handed out and saw Lincoln as a tyrant for suspending habeas corpus and freeing slaves, Booth viewed President Lincoln as a &quot;King&quot; and &quot;Tyrant&quot; who needed to be killed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know Booth&#39;s hatred for President Lincoln came from Booth blindly following Democratic Party propaganda. We know that Booth was heavily influenced by a media environment that labeled Lincoln a &quot;King&quot; or dictator. While we know this to be true, to be fair, besides the influence that Democratic Party&#39;s propaganda had on him, we also know that Booth&#39;s motivation to shoot President Lincoln was driven by intense personal fanatical conviction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that Boothe&#39;s response to President Lincoln&#39;s speech on April 11, 1865,  sent Boothe into a rage and was the tipping point. Historical records show that that&#39;s when an enraged Booth decided to escalate his plot from kidnapping to assassination, declaring, &quot;That is the last speech he will ever make&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Where&#39;s The Lesson?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, while I would rather be publishing interesting stories from the pages of Old West newspapers, let&#39;s be real clear over the fact that the political hatred, the vile rhetoric, all meant to incite a follower of the Democratic Party to assassinate President Trump mirrors what took place by Democrats leading up to and during the Civil War. That&#39;s the lesson here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said in my last post, since President Trump&#39;s first term in office from 2017 to 2021, a lot of Democrat politicians, celebrities, and influencers have made statements that could only be interpreted as inciting their followers to assassinate of President Trump. And yes, in my last post, I gave quite a few examples of such hate speech attempting to incite some simple-minded Democrats to carry out another assassination attempt on President Trump.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;As for President Lincoln, Democrats successfully incited violence against him. In fact, there were several known plots and attempts on President Abraham Lincoln&#39;s life by Confederate sympathizers or agents between 1861 and 1865.&amp;nbsp;While only one was successful, there were four serious instances by Democrats with pro-Confederate motives:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Baltimore Plot in February of 1861. That took place before Lincoln&#39;s first inauguration. It had to do with a conspiracy by Maryland Confederate sympathizers. The plot by those Democrats was uncovered in time, though it did force the new President to secretly pass through Baltimore to avoid an planned ambush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Yellow Fever Plot of December 1863 was a plot to infect the White House with Yellow Fever by using contaminated clothing. The Democrats who proposed that, failed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sniper Attempt in August of 1864 took place when a sniper shot at President Lincoln as he rode unguarded toward the Soldiers&#39; Home. The bullet missed his head by inches, but passed through his hat. While the shooter was never identified, it was believed to been a Democrats who again was a Confederate sympathizer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Final Assassination Plot led by John Wilkes Booth was initially meant kidnap President Lincoln in March 1865. Some say Booth wanted to exchange Lincoln for high-ranking Confederate prisoners-of-war. Some say he wanted to force Lincoln at gunpoint an order to rescind the Emancipation Proclamation. It&#39;s said that after the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee on April 9, 1865, that Booth decided to assassinate the President -- which he did on April 14, 1865.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;So how bad did Democrats want President Lincoln dead during the Civil War, and at the end of the Civil War after General Lee&#39;s surrender?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, it is believed that Democrats attempted to blow up the White House to &quot;decapitate&quot; the United States government under President Abraham Lincoln.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes, it&#39;s true. And yes, that brings me to the historical account of Confederate assassin Thomas F. Harney. He was a Confederate Army explosives expert who was dispatched from Richmond on or about April 1, 1865, to kill President Lincoln, the president&#39;s family, and the president&#39;s entire Cabinet and their families by blowing up the White House. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harney&#39;s plan was to use mines to blow up the White House. The attack was intended to occur while President Lincoln, the president&#39;s family, and the president&#39;s entire Cabinet and their families, were gathered to listen to a public serenade. You have to really want someone dead if you&#39;re willing to kill them and their families. Harney saw no problem with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plot to kill President Lincoln and his Cabinet was slated for early April 1865. It was actually supposed to happen just days before John Wilkes Booth&#39;s successful assassination of Lincoln on April 14, 1865.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately for President Lincoln, his family, and his Cabinet members and their families, Harney was arrested on April 10, 1865, before he could carry out his plan. A Union Army cavalry unit en route to Washington, DC, found Harney, realized his plan and immediately arrested him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;History is repeating itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;No matter what the Democratic Party&#39;s talking points are, Americans can see that today&#39;s Democratic Playbook focuses on hatred for President Trump, inciting violence, and being for anything that Trump is against. The Democratic Party&#39;s strategy today is viewed as a direct militaristic opposition to President Trump -- the same way the Democrats were in direct opposition to President Lincoln.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as Democrats, as the Democratic Party&#39;s propaganda and demonization of Republican President Lincoln during the Civil War led to multiple assassination attempts on his life, Democratic Party propaganda and demonization of Republican President Trump has lead to multiple attempts on President Trump&#39;s life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History teaches us that nothing has changed, that Democrats are still the same people that they&#39;ve always been. And frankly, people aren&#39;t blind to what&#39;s going on.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Millions of Americans, and the millions of people in countries all over the world, are watching Democrats in the United Stats plot and scheme the demise of President Donald Trump. Everyone can see it. Democrats today aren&#39;t even hiding their desire for someone to kill the President. They are very open about it. In fact, I&#39;d say Democrats today don&#39;t seem to care if people know that they want President Trump killed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for the rest of the us, we are all watching Democrats act out exactly as they did during the Civil War when they tried to incite their followers to assassinate Republican President Abraham Lincoln. We can only pray that Democrats don&#39;t find their 2026 version of John Wilkes Booth and that history has a different outcome.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Tom Correa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;American Cowboy Chronicles&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/feeds/8857445930429622773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2026/05/todays-democrat-playbook-is-same-one.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632055767270986594/posts/default/8857445930429622773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632055767270986594/posts/default/8857445930429622773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2026/05/todays-democrat-playbook-is-same-one.html' title='Today&#39;s Democrat Playbook Is Same One They Used To Assassinate Lincoln'/><author><name>Tom Correa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08433984644973794278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKKcDfjjeX7OxkO4yPcZUklNe8aCukaTeq3EtdTZppNR2YBS8hRocEhj2AwaDVI96UFqoZwCFdUPALytFpTPX9BHiuBLC60lrmYQz0xo8TUSvltfx1G99soMaL6PZMbd3kIsOKQ7QNRRorBMFujHN9gXIf_CWbJlrhyPgOHrSf0s7tA/s1600/326464957_1196202327666942_1776475200444695673_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbve7voeKajoCVkG5tHJYxaEdEcttPbAD8P5O1skMi1UyVJJe0IvnSZ87Ow9oW_1SZ-LZ4thcXY_XVMJMoCThUDUxpQh6aWzxrw781GqwFXuXYw1nJYCTYiocER3EnJOoDn-oQU4h8uUnbwgzNdNSFFakStdxELxflRDcAdqcMI0Hu7gJUZyVRMSDmbkU/s72-w396-h640-c/_abe2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632055767270986594.post-3201129216657238221</id><published>2026-05-01T03:58:03.324-07:00</published><updated>2026-05-02T00:26:14.913-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Democrat&#39;s Assassination Cult </title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QwOSxPfCW9VboElE5tXc6lgX_rYup2o8plbKhyphenhyphenVrLFPa8RUdT9H0qxSsRO77hupZuCiU12ZPa56nNYWlXfkjdrH1uh2CjtxFO9bnwtaPFEppvYRsmTyesw4vTWnNCrEwBLE5KgHr73R4EbXylbySo09_MZMGoVrRcXdbnng9x5s8BU5RkKk5y-HWfh8/s1920/02.18.26.webp&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QwOSxPfCW9VboElE5tXc6lgX_rYup2o8plbKhyphenhyphenVrLFPa8RUdT9H0qxSsRO77hupZuCiU12ZPa56nNYWlXfkjdrH1uh2CjtxFO9bnwtaPFEppvYRsmTyesw4vTWnNCrEwBLE5KgHr73R4EbXylbySo09_MZMGoVrRcXdbnng9x5s8BU5RkKk5y-HWfh8/w640-h360/02.18.26.webp&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Since President Trump&#39;s first term in office from 2017 to 2021, a lot of Democrat politicians, celebrities, and influencers have made statements that could only be interpreted as inciting their followers to assassinate President Trump. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2017, Former Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal posted on Facebook, &quot;I hope Trump is assassinated!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2017, celebrity Kathy Griffin used her celebrity status to call for the death of President Trump. The not-very-funny comedian posed for a photo holding a prop of President Trump’s bloodied, severed head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2017, actor Johnny Depp invoked Lincoln&#39;s assassination when he asked a crowd of fans, &quot;When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?&quot; Then, believe it or not, he suggested, &quot;Maybe it is time&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2018, Broadway actress Carole Cook echoed Depp&#39;s sentiment, when she said, &quot;Where&#39;s John Wilkes Booth when you need him?&quot; That was her answer when asked about President Trump. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2018, Former FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo with the numbers &quot;8647,&quot; which was interpreted as slang for &quot;86,&quot; meaning &quot;get rid of,&quot; the 47th President. In April 2026, Comey was indicted by the Department of Justice on charges of making a threat against the president&#39;s life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2020, another not-so-funny celebrity George Lopez commented on a rumored Iranian bounty put on President Trump&#39;s head. He wrote on Instagram, &quot;We&#39;ll do it for half&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2023, U.S. Representative, Democrat from New York, Dan Goldman stated in a televised interview that Trump is so &quot;dangerous&quot; to Democracy that he &quot;has to be eliminated&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2024, a celebrity by the name of Kyle Gass who goes by the alias Tenacious D had something to say about the attempted assassination on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Just hours after the shooting, Gass said, &quot;Don&#39;t miss Trump next time&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As recently as July of 2024, President Joe Biden, while in the Oval Office, told Democrat donors in a private call that &quot;It&#39;s time to put Trump in the bullseye&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think I&#39;m wrong, or maybe blowing things out of proportion, how about Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, just a few days before the White House Correspondents&#39; Dinner shooting when he called for his followers to &quot;Fight&quot; President Trump&#39;s agenda &quot;in the streets.&quot; Jefferies declared he wants his followers to conduct &quot;Maximum Warfare&quot; against President Trump and members of the Trump administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A day or two before the White House Correspondents&#39; Dinner shooting, ABC Television host, Democrat mouthpiece, Jimmy Kimmel referred to First Lady Melania Trump as an &quot;Expectant widow&quot; during his show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A day after the third assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents&#39; Dinner, Democrat Candidate for Governor of California Katie Porter sent out a donor email containing the phrase &quot;Fuck Trump.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are folks in the Trump administration who have correctly stated that Democrats and their Democrat-controlled Media outlets have &quot;systemically demonized&quot; President Donald Trump to such a point that they have created a &quot;permission structure&quot; for extremist violence. And really, think about all of the lies that Democrats have said, such as labeling President Trump as a &quot;threat to democracy&quot; or saying &quot;It&#39;s time to put Trump in the bullseye&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and other administration officials have pointed to specific comments from Democratic leaders and media figures as contributing to a &quot;culture of assassination.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the recent attempt on President Trump&#39;s life, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt argued that labeling President Trump a &quot;fascist&quot; and &quot;threat to democracy&quot; adds to the attempt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Karoline Leavitt said comments from Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said Republicans &quot;cannot know a moment of peace,&quot; and Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver, who stated, &quot;We are at war,&quot; are examples of rhetoric that fuels the Democrats&#39; assassination culture. White House officials have been very direct about who they blame for all of the attempts to kill President Trump. They explicitly blame Democrat for their hate-filled rhetoric. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, Democrats don&#39;t see anything wrong with violence against the President. Democrat hate speech is what&#39;s fanning the flames of violence, but they don&#39;t care to stop it. So yes, this all makes me agree when someone says that Democrats and others on the political left, including the Mainstream Media and Hollywood celebrities, like living in a &quot;Left-Wing Cult of Hate.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s The Democrat Party That Believes Hate For Trump Will Put Them Back In Power In 2026&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What are Democrats running on in 2026?&amp;nbsp;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kill Trump,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kill Anyone Who Disagrees With The Left,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Impeach Trump,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Imprison Trump Voters,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Save Iran,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iran Needs Nukes,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wipe Out Israel,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ban Christianity In America,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Europe Needs To Become All Islamic,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stop Killing Drug Cartel Drug Smugglers In Small Boats,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Embrace Fentanyl,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Love Homelessness,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leftist Violence Is The Answer,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bring Back The Illegals,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give Illegals Rights.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Abolish Citizens&#39; Rights,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Let&#39;s Put Men In Women&#39;s Sports Again,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stop America First,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make America Last Again,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loving America Means Loving Fascism,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Democratic Party Authoritarianism Is Good For Everyone,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Democrats Need To Control Your Life,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Embrace Communism,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Confiscate Private Property.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Love Countries Who Hate America,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dissolve The United States&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While some of my friends helped me come up with the list above, let&#39;s not forget that most of the problems that we face today are because Democrats created them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats opened the border to bring in new voters for them. Democrats allowed Drug Cartels to get a foothold in American cities. Democrat may or may not have been getting paid by the Drug Cartels. It&#39;s possible and would explain why they are so upset today that President Trump is blowing those Drug Boats out of the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats hate AMERICA FIRST because they are promoting Communism instead. And yes, for Democrats to make Communism work in America, Democrats cannot allow the needs of the American people to be a priority for Congress. That&#39;s why Democrats worship at alter of Globalism, and really see themselves as citizens of the world instead of Americans. In fact, Democrats don&#39;t see anything special about being an American. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s true. In a 2014 speech at Harvard University, then-Vice President Joe Biden said, &quot;There&#39;s nothing special about being American -- none of you can define for me what an American is.&quot; That is the sort of thing I&#39;d expect a Democrat to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And now, well now Democrats are angry that they are not in power to use a corrupt FBI as their personal Gestapo to go after political opponents, and intimidate citizens. Now, for the first time in a long time, Democrats are not above the law and are being made to answer for breaking the law.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTag3rkjYeZctlxmVD19jv8mQLIR5yf8UIzebsH-m6ZcF8UmL3w4RmgbcP8INgOAXrQfVyhbZVXrrBSqPVj1IsU9BzrPk-yz_HQnlVT61vSR8_TUCrWGDKZ5gMgsqizVwQ39XQti5eLurOBvQ2pzJjMDBv3dwCcCDRdyvBHLE59psuAq1QQaw0HdwDvNk/s640/748fc307-9f4a-483b-b858-c41f36be0633.jfif&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;564&quot; data-original-width=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTag3rkjYeZctlxmVD19jv8mQLIR5yf8UIzebsH-m6ZcF8UmL3w4RmgbcP8INgOAXrQfVyhbZVXrrBSqPVj1IsU9BzrPk-yz_HQnlVT61vSR8_TUCrWGDKZ5gMgsqizVwQ39XQti5eLurOBvQ2pzJjMDBv3dwCcCDRdyvBHLE59psuAq1QQaw0HdwDvNk/s16000/748fc307-9f4a-483b-b858-c41f36be0633.jfif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yes, unless you were asleep during the Biden Administration when the Democrat Shadow Government ran things, they attempted to Micro-manage the lives of every American with the Democrat Party in charge of every aspect of our lives. They wanted to tell us what we could drive, what stove we were &quot;allowed&quot; to use, what clothes to wear, who we could support politically, who they tried to stop from running. Democrats practiced the authoritarianism that they accuse President Trump of doing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And please, let&#39;s not forget that Democrats in the White House used Teachers Unions to indoctrinate your children to hate you and our country. They supported surgically mutilating our children. Democrats allowed men in Women&#39;s Sports, and tried to take away Women&#39;s Rights.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democrats are the reason American cities have the homelessness problems that they do. Democrats hand out drugs in big cities. Democrats have created an urban society dependent on the government. They created a society of young people with no work ethic and no drive to prosper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let&#39;s remember that Democrats want to be put back in power to against return to DEI, CRT, and judging people by the color of their skin, instead of the content of their character and their qualifications to do their job.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democrats want to return to power to get their hands on the money that Elon Musk didn&#39;t expose. Democrats want to return to use Congress to reinstate US AID so they can give Billions of American Taxpayer Dollars away to nations to promote their Social Agenda, their Gay Agenda, their Communist Agenda overseas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democrats want to again steal and launder Federal Government funds by Congress reinstating US AID and the other bloated programs that don&#39;t serve the American people -- but only benefit the donors of the Democrat Party. It&#39;s all about greed and Democrats understand greed very well. That&#39;s why they want to shut down Congressional investigations into Big Pharma and who has been taking bribes.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democrats want to do these things who diverting the attention of the American people on another Trump Impeachment, or while they attack White men for being masculine and Christians. They will again steal from the American people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And what is the Democrat &quot;solution&quot; to stop Iran from using a Nuclear Weapon? The Democrat &quot;solution&quot; to stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is to incite violence against President Trump. The fact is Democrat Administrations, both the Obama and Biden administrations, judging by their actions, have not taken the subject of Iran obtaining nukes very seriously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let&#39;s remember, Obama sent pallets of cash to Iran -- which Iran used to finance their Nuclear Weapons Program. Biden&#39;s policy was to say &quot;Don&#39;t&quot; and do nothing else. Both Democrat administrations have proven that their policy on stopping Iran has been weak, ineffective, incompetent, and irresponsible to the point of being dangerous for the world.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what is the Democrat &quot;solution&quot; to stop the flow of drugs, Illegal Aliens, the Mexican Cartels, the stop wars in various parts of the war, stop the Muslim Invasion of Europe, stop State and Federal Government regulatory overreach, bring down inflation, homelessness, bring down the high cost of living and healthcare, and increase education proficiency?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrat &quot;solution&quot; is all about doing nothing other than accusing people of racism, racism, racism, racism, and incite their followers to try to kill President Trump. If Democrats spent just a little of their time on searching for solutions to our problems instead of being obsessed with destroying American and having one of their followers kill President Trump, they might actually improve our lives. But, that is the Democrat &quot;solution&quot; to everything. And yes, that&#39;s what they are running on in 2026.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I find it interesting that a report in 2025 by the City Journal shows that roughly 55 percent of Democrat respondents in a survey considered the assassination of Donald Trump &quot;justified.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) 2026 report found that 67% of Democrat respondents believed &quot;Murdering President Trump would be justified.&quot; That is the Democrat&#39;s Assassination Cult in a nutshell. They are out there, and Democrats are motivating their followers to keep trying to kill President Trump. That&#39;s the Democrat Party&#39;s whole purpose for living. They want to see President Trump murdered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our job is to prevent that from happening and protect President Trump from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Tom Correa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;American Cowboy Chronicles&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/feeds/3201129216657238221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2026/05/the-democrats-assassination-cult.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632055767270986594/posts/default/3201129216657238221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632055767270986594/posts/default/3201129216657238221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2026/05/the-democrats-assassination-cult.html' title='The Democrat&#39;s Assassination Cult '/><author><name>Tom Correa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08433984644973794278</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKKcDfjjeX7OxkO4yPcZUklNe8aCukaTeq3EtdTZppNR2YBS8hRocEhj2AwaDVI96UFqoZwCFdUPALytFpTPX9BHiuBLC60lrmYQz0xo8TUSvltfx1G99soMaL6PZMbd3kIsOKQ7QNRRorBMFujHN9gXIf_CWbJlrhyPgOHrSf0s7tA/s1600/326464957_1196202327666942_1776475200444695673_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QwOSxPfCW9VboElE5tXc6lgX_rYup2o8plbKhyphenhyphenVrLFPa8RUdT9H0qxSsRO77hupZuCiU12ZPa56nNYWlXfkjdrH1uh2CjtxFO9bnwtaPFEppvYRsmTyesw4vTWnNCrEwBLE5KgHr73R4EbXylbySo09_MZMGoVrRcXdbnng9x5s8BU5RkKk5y-HWfh8/s72-w640-h360-c/02.18.26.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
