Someone vandalized the National Mall by burning the numbers "8647" into the grass — a coded threat against President Trump that combines "86" (police code for murder) with "47" (Trump's presidential number) — and the U.S. Park Police are now investigating.
Remember when James Comey posted a photo of seashells arranged to spell "8647" on Instagram? That was cute. Real subtle, Jim.
According to Just The News reporter Kevin Killough, the pattern appeared as brown spots contrasting against the greener surrounding grass on the National Mall, clearly forming the numbers 8647. The U.S. Park Police have collected samples from the affected area and sent them off for lab analysis to determine exactly what substance was used to kill the grass in that very specific, very deliberate pattern.
The Department of the Interior didn't mince words in their response. Their statement read: "The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated. Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable."
Good. "Deranged" is the right word.
Now let's connect the dots here, because the media sure won't. The "8647" code has become a rallying symbol among the unhinged left ever since former FBI Director James Comey made it trendy by posting that Instagram photo of seashells carefully arranged to spell out the number. Comey — the same man who weaponized the FBI against a sitting president, lied under oath, and leaked classified memos to the press — thought it would be fun to play cute with coded language about "eliminating" the 47th President.
And before the fact-checkers start hyperventilating, let's be crystal clear about what "86" means. In restaurant slang, to "86" something means to remove it, get rid of it, throw it out. Pair that with "47" — Trump's number as the 47th President — and you don't need a decoder ring to figure out the message. This isn't a Rorschach test. It's a threat.
But here's the part that should make your blood boil. If a conservative had burned "8646" into the National Mall while Biden was president, every three-letter agency in Washington would have had someone in handcuffs within 48 hours. CNN would have run a weeklong special. The FBI would have formed a task force. Congressional Democrats would have held hearings.
Instead, we get the numbers literally scorched into the lawn of America's most iconic public space, and the mainstream media treats it like a quirky mystery. "Oh, how did those numbers get there? What a puzzler!"
We know how they got there. Someone who has been radicalized by years of "resistance" rhetoric — fueled by people like Comey who think coded threats are Instagram content — walked onto federal property and vandalized it with a message about removing the President of the United States.
The U.S. Park Police say they're investigating, and we'll take them at their word. But this isn't just vandalism. This is what happens when former heads of the FBI normalize threatening language against a president and face zero consequences for it. The fish rots from the head.
Find whoever did this. Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And maybe have a chat with the former FBI Director who made "8647" a thing in the first place.
