As with every investigation, one door leads to another. Such is the case with the recent shooter in his assassination attempt on President Trump and other Republican politicians.
It seemed to me that over this last month, that many added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site seem to consist of Democrat politicians (as opposed to Republican). Note the research below, where indeed 22 Democrat Politicians passed away as opposed to 8 Republicans.
I considered this a prompt to investigate the Democrat Party wikipedia page, and one thing that immediately struck me was …, yep, that’s a Donkey in their logo!!
And the donkey has its own section on the Democrats wikipedia page re Name and symbols . Note the following that crop up as I continue following leads:
The song "Happy Days Are Here Again" is the unofficial song of the Democratic Party.
"Happy Days Are Here Again" is a 1929 song with music by Milton Ager and lyrics by Jack Yellen
The song was recorded by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra, with vocals by Lou Levin in November 1929[citation needed] and was featured in the 1930 film Chasing Rainbows
The film, Chasing Rainbows caught my eye given my previous posts re the “rainbow pearl horse head” . The main actress also caught my eye, given her surname “Love” is an addition to the recent “Valentines/Cherub Theme” patttern cluster . Note below, her date of death is April 26… the birthday of Melanie Trump
(born Melanija Knavs; April 26, 1970)
and then we have Jack Benny who was born on February 14– Valentine’s Day!! Other dates and names below also stand out in cryptic fashion, butt I’ll leave that with you.

For the record, on further investigation, I did learn that there a lot more aging Democratic Politician’s vs Republican… still, it seems high this month.
