Since at least the Bush administration, designating someone or something as a terrorist or terrorism has been our equivalent of the John Wick universe\u2019s being declared excommunicado. Due process, the notion that someone would come to your aid if you were physically harmed, out the window. And while the designation hasn\u2019t lost any of its gravitas, the threshold you need to cross before getting called a terrorist has rapidly fallen over time. Per a recent White House<\/a> release, merely having \u201canti-American views\u201d \u2014 otherwise known as thought-crime \u2014 could get you on the list. As it turns out, even active members of the government aren\u2019t safe from the suspicion that they\u2019re actually terrorists in wait using their positions for dastardly ends. For example, here\u2019s Stephen Miller tweeting about judges. <\/p>\n

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate\u2026<\/p>\n

A day after this tweet, Judge Diane Goodstein\u2019s home went up in flames. AP News has<\/a> coverage:<\/p>\n

\n

State investigators are trying to find the cause of a fire that destroyed a judge\u2019s home on a South Carolina island.<\/p>\n

The Saturday blaze nearly burned to the ground the house listed in property records as owned by Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein on a remote part of Edisto Island, authorities said.

Three people were hurt in the blaze and one of them was taken by helicopter to the Medical University of South Carolina, according to Colleton County Fire-Rescue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She\u2019s received death threats since she blocked the DOJ from accessing South Carolinians\u2019 voter data<\/a>. An investigation is underway, so it is too early to say definitively that her home was attacked over her rulings, but the threats and recent acts of violence do suggest a connection between Democrats and terrorism \u2014 namely, that they are the ones being targeted:<\/p>\n

A liberal judge just had her home mysteriously set ablaze.<\/p>\n

A Charlie Kirk fan just ran over two girls.<\/p>\n

A Trump supporter set a Mormon Church on fire and then went on a shooting spree inside.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say that the only political figures who are concerned with their safety are Democrats \u2014 a guy who tried to assassinate Kavanaugh was just sentenced on Friday. But it is to say that the Trump administration is doing their damnedest to pretend the violence only matters when Republican lives are targeted. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Now try answering my question.<\/p>\n

If you are trying to combat political violence, why don\u2019t you condemn the political violence against a judge who ruled against you and your admin?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty simple: do you condemn all political violence or only that against your supporters?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Daniel Goldman (@danielsgoldman) October 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Surprise, surprise: Miller didn\u2019t seem to take Goldman up on that opportunity.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t take a high level of reading to see that Miller side-stepped the opportunity to condemn all political violence with a moral grandstand about how much the administration is doing. Say what you want the regime, but one of the things about Trump is that he\u2019s so transparent with his disdain that he\u2019s incapable of pulling the \u201cwe\u2019re the real good guys!\u201d shtick Miller is going for here. Not only is Trump not capable of caring less about right-wing extremism:<\/p>\n

\n

This is your president, folks. Trump is asked, \u201cHow do we fix this country?\u201d. His reply: \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less\u201d. Stunning, but not surprising. pic.twitter.com\/bT6OKNhvPT<\/a><\/p>\n

Long story short \u2014 don\u2019t expect a heartfelt condemnation of what happened if it turns out that Judge Goodstein\u2019s home was set ablaze for political reasons. Unless, of course, an unused Molotov cocktail is found nearby with the words \u201cI am doing this for antifa!\u201d are found in handwriting that looks eerily similar to Kash Patel\u2019s.<\/p>\n
