“The coward only threatens when he is safe.” Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

Yogi Berra once said, “That’s too coincidental to be a coincidence.” Yogi always had a way with words.
Along that same line, 007’s creator, writer Ian Fleming, observed, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”
For some reason, that last one reminded me of Chuck Schumer. Maybe it’s the way Chuck has with words.
Take for example when he threatened the justices of the Supreme Court. It was at an abortion rights rally outside the Supreme Court last year, before the Court reversed Roe v. Wade.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh,” Schumer screamed. ‘You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
That was in March. In June, Nicholas John Roske attempted to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. Coincidence?
In 2017, when The Donald dismissed the FBI’s Russian dossier as fake, Schumer warned what could happen.
“Let me tell you,” Schumwe said to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “You take on the Intelligence Community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
It took a while, in between impeachments, but on August 8, 2022, the FBI raided Trump’s home. Then Schumer moved on to another arch enemy, Tucker Carlson.
In May 2022, Schumer sent a letter to Rupert Murdoch and the executives at FOX News, demanding that Tucker Carlson be ordered to stop pushing the “Great Replacement Theory.”
That's the idea that Democrats are replacing the current electorate with more obedient voters from the Third World.
Such as the people coming over our open border.
In July, Schumer called Carlson a “shameless hate-monger,” again for the Replacement Theory.
And in March 2023, he verbally attacked Carlson on the Senate floor, berating him for airing the first of the January 6 tapes, which the Liz Cheney- January 6 Committee had never allowed to be released to the public.
“I hope every member of this chamber will call out FOX and Mr. Carlson for defending the insurrectionists,” Schumer urged.
“Take a stand, and call out Mr. Carlson’s conduct for what it is, a dangerous unforgiveable attempt to destabilize our democracy, and rewrite the history of the worst attack on our Constitution since the Civil War.”
(At least he didn’t say it was worse than Watergate.)
But just like Trump and Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, it sounds like Tucker really got under his skin.
Because, as we all heard, this Monday Carlson and FOX “parted ways.”
As Yogi would say, that’s too coincidental to be a coincidence...Six ways from Sunday.
Hold the line, America.
