Sometimes I’m just shaking my head in stunned amazement. How, I have to ask, could a public school teacher call for the assassination of President Trump, in public, on Facebook, and still have a job?

Well, maybe she doesn’t, as Superintendent Peter Hallen notified the public that he and “appropriate authorities” are actively investigating the “incident.”

Hat tip to Carol Marks of The Victory Girls! The copy of the post at the right is a screen capture, before Facebook takes it down or the lovely Miss St Germain takes it down.

At the moment, she’s doubling down.

As far as I am concerned, nothing she said is criminal. She has not threatened the President herself, saying that she lacked the “skill set” to do anything, but has ‘asked’ the Secret Service and the United States military to do it for her. But not being criminal, and the freedom of speech and of the press that we are guaranteed, is not a guarantee of complete immunity from the consequences of her speech.

But, let’s tell the truth here: if what Miss St Germain advocated actually happened, millions of whacko Americans would be cheering. I suppose that there were a few people who would have cheered had President Biden been assassinated, but I certainly wouldn’t have, and the vast majority of conservatives are smart enough not to put something like that online. In the most practical sense, it would have made Kamala Harris Emhoff President, and she would have been, if possible, even worse.

And let’s tell another truth: social media have exposed the utter stupidity of some of our friends on the left. I have absotively, posilutely no doubt that the #TrumpDerangementSyndrome-afflicted columnist Will Bunch would be among the first to cheer if President Trump were assassinated, but he at least has enough sense not to publish that on Bluesky.

The lovely Miss St Germain didn’t have even that much sense!
