In a recent and deeply unsettling social media post, former FBI Director James Comey shared a photo of seashells arranged on a beach to spell out the cryptic message: “86 47.” While some tried to brush it off as a harmless riddle, the symbolism is hard to ignore — and for many Americans, it’s downright alarming.
To those unfamiliar, “86” is widely recognized slang for “killing” or “getting rid of” someone. Pairing that with “47,” a reference to Donald Trump potentially becoming the 47th President of the United States, raises disturbing implications. Whether intended as a veiled threat or tasteless innuendo, the optics are inexcusable in today’s deeply divided climate.
We live in a country where multiple attempts have already been made on President Trump’s life, and violent rhetoric from the political left continues to escalate. Politicians, media personalities, and even former officials too often stir the pot, creating a culture where threats are normalized, especially when aimed at those on the Right.
What happens next in our country is uncertain. But one thing is clear: those who incite or suggest violence must be held accountable. Our country cannot survive if intimidation and tyranny become the tools of political discourse.
This isn’t about party lines — it’s about the rule of law, free speech, and protecting the lives and liberties of all Americans. Tyrannists and agitators who play with fire must be confronted, not excused.
America deserves better. And it’s time we demand it.

Keep praying for the Lord to protect and guide President Trump. He sure needs the guidance since he can’t tame his tongue. Love what he does but wish he could control what he says.
