I think Karen is a misogynistic, racist term like Uncle Tom, aunt jemimah, are now considered racist. Call a spade a spade, βbitchβ is good enough and doesnβt denigrate white middle aged women.
I agree. Dogs are smart and don't deserve being grouped with stupid smart people. I've known many stupid smart people in my day; they didn't go far because computers weren't the norm. We used to say they lacked common sense, like a three-year old toddler that puts his hand out to support himself as he falls headfirst into a pool. Darwin's law used to take care of most of them. Now with seat belts, air bags and propaganda in our schools we're seeing a proliferation of stupid smart people in our country. Eliminate, and get a constitutional amendment preventing, the department of education being a federal bureaucracy and let's get back to work making America great again.
Dogs are our angels on Earth I believe - why they don't live as long - they're here to help guide us along, and then have more work to do in the Heavens when they're gone.
Thanks for this comment. I needed to see this today. I'm getting close to having to release my senior angel. Each day we're closer "the decision". I've called her my angel for years, as she came into my life when I needed (non-judgemental) companionship the most. I keep telling her that her work here is mostly done, and I'll see her again soon enough. ππ
My condolences. I had Indiana Jones for 15 years. Pulled him out of a ditch with a broken leg and a horrible case of mange when he was about two months old. Looked like a black lab and pit bull mix. He never forgot I saved his life on a hot 4th of July.
I felt like he hung in for me to the last minute and I was just heartbroken.
Now I have a rescue named Sadie, likely Black Cur and pit bull. She is fiercely protective and we take care of each other.
They are our angels! One of my dear dogs is most likely the reason that I am still here today to write this. I miss him dearly and the other two I have had as well.
Love homeschooling! π is the article on the Washington post behind a pay wall? One positive thing the plandemic done for us was to make homeschooling grow. Also to make everyone question vaccines!
Now I tell my kids, stay away from pokey things! π₯π₯ππ
The moon and sun are also racist terms. The moon is too white ... and is also privileged because it can reflect white light. And the sun is racist because 'yellow' is a code word for Chinese. So don't say anything bad about the sun.
'Night' is also racist because it gets dark outside. And I don't dare use the word 'night' anymore.
Yes, but! DeWife says that I have no body awareness, or any other kind of awareness. She thinks the sun, at least for me, could quite possibly be lime green with soft rose polka dots. But in thankfulness of your writing to me, I am willing to consider super white with invisible yellow checks.
Actually, the world is so crazy that I am not sure what to think anymore. But I am glad you wrote to me. That was very nice. And because I am totally dyslexic, I really appreciate your spelling! Clever lass you are!
One is a derisive term for a black person. And the other is a dance. You can look them up on Dogpile, a really nice search engine. Metager is another one.
But since words no longer mean anything, or else anything you want them to mean, feel free to supply your own definitions. Like 'jitterbug' could mean 'moon', 'minnow' and 'shark' ... and all in the same tadpole pond. See! It's a crazy world and nuthin' makes any sense! (But we still can have fun!)
β₯ Can you vouch for these search engines of which you speak? The yellow duck showed it's true colors on Saturday and I am dumping it forthwith. Good to see you. : )
(Although with uncommon searches it sometimes runs out of results and asks if you'd like to fetch results from google or bing - but at least it gives you the choice.)
Nothing is perfect. But I don't use Google because I hate Google for what they have and are doing to us. And for sure Google has been and is waging war on us. And I gave up on DuckDuckGo when I heard them advertising on National Public Radio. At the time, the Duck was already not quacking too well. Maybe they got bought out or somehow coopted?
Dogpile gives generally good information. Metager, which is German based, is useful for more unusual stuff, technical stuff and so on.
These two do the trick for most things I want to know. And being 75 has admittedly lower my demand considerations.
Never the google. They are the devil, probably literally. Just watched Tucker from the Heritage Foundation at the RNC. It was really good and says just what I think. Here is the link in case you want a good watch. Thanks for the info! https://www.youtube.com/live/LhibtsGTB2I
Yandex has been working great as a search engine. Such a huge difference in what appears when I do a side by side search on Google then identical search on Yandex.
There is no such thing as racist or misogyny. These are Bolshevik terms that have no basis in reality. Itβs not unlike the patriarchy or extreme Whiteness. This is the language of our enemy and anyone who uses it is my enemy.
I hadn't seen that; I'm sure further info can confirm or deny it soon. It would explain why it wasn't "noticed" beforehand. (Though it doesn't explain why there isn't a gate/lock on it, like there normally is on roof ladders, if for no other reason than liability if some kid climbs up and breaks their leg.)
Although, I've heard reports that the shooter got there by crossing several roofs until he reached the closest one, so I'm not sure if he actually used that ladder anyway.
Sort of how it was hard growing up as a blonde during the era of dumb blonde jokes. That was very, very tiresome for me. No amount of my intelligence ever overcame it. π
Ca,iforia, a CHP officer pulled over a car because h hought a young child was driving i. He discovered the driver was not a young child, but an adult woman whose driving licence listed her height as four foot five. (I know seven year olds taller than that). She was it turned out, a legal immigrant from the highlands of Guatemala. I have seem these people and they are, in general, VERY short.
Not satisfied with being foiled at arresting a ten year old whilst driving, he cited her for NOT using a "child seat booster"as required by law for "children" under the age of twelve who are shorter than some arbitrary number. She was smart/stubborn enough to appear in court. The judge threw it out. Don't remembr what the judge said to the copper.. he SHOULD have cleaned his closk.
Then there is the kid my Dad remembered from his high school years.... he was "six foot sixteen". Star basketball player on the small school's team.
Hey I honestly think Karen is a way better name than Becki which has also been thrown around as pejorative for white women. Call me Karen Iβll just roll my eyes and say okay now I DO want to talk to your manager. But call me Becci or Becky or whatever and I just might throat punch a b****. Lol! But (of course) I have an annoying cousin named Becky that I canβt stand so thereβs that. My stepsister (Karin may she rest in peace) would be horrified at the awful use of her name, despite the fact that she probably would have embodied it, and Iβm glad she didnβt have to endure it during her much too short but fairly miserable life.
First I've ever heard of Becky being a bad thing although my sweet mama never allowed anyone to call me that. She didn't give me a middle name- thought that was sufficient. The Beckadee is what my Aunt called me. Must be a northern thing. ha
I actually love the name Rebecca I think itβs lovely and has dignity. Itβs the Becky that I think sounds dumb as hell. Your mom sounds like a great lady. π. My husband is Martin. Never call him Marty unless you want an enemy for life. π. Another dumbass nickname that should never have been. Beckadee is an awesome nickname. Like chickadee which I call people all the time.
In a book from the late 1800βs that I read a few years ago, described that many parents named their daughters Karen because the name sounded like caring and they wanted to bless future generations of their families with caring women.
Seriously, people! Are there any Jesus followers here? Comment on her hair? For heaven's sake.
Love your enemies! Bless those who harm you.
Me? I will pray for Karen. The shame she must feel for overreacting to her emotions must be overwhelming. And now you want to publicly throw dirt on her?
Who among you is without sin?
Jeff, I appeal to you, kindly please remove her personal contact information and pray for her. In Jesus' Name.
You are right Jana that making fun of her is no way to act either. But I do feel that those who are in a position such as hers need to be held accountable for their words and actions. There is not one single person that is without sin and cannot cast stones. We have a couple of generations that place blame on everyone but themselves for their own actions and these same people have not filters on their mouths or their minds and their minds. They have never been taught there are consequences to pay. Personally, when I was young, I had to grow a tough skin because there was a "bra" in my name and the boys were relentless. Plus, I was a freckled red head. One of my favorite scriptures when I first came to the Lord almost 50 years ago was when Jesus said that I would be persecuted just as he was persecuted but I was to endure till the end. I am sorry that my words offended you.
Darnβ¦ I was going to email herβ¦ Jeff needs to put more emails and phone numbers in his articles so we can βdo our partβ with these peopleβ¦ as Michael the Archangel said, βThe Lord rebuke youβ¦β Jude 1:9
And a "pinder" used to mean someone who would impound stray cattle as during the middle ages there was rampant theft of livestock - as we're seeing now with more "cattle" waking up reality.
Pinder isn't doing a good job anymore, is she? Too many awake cattle.
Iβm concerned that there will be a cover up by the FBI. I donβt buy this business about not being able to access the assassinβs phone, which is vital to the investigation. There are reports that bomb making materials were found at the home, and an explosive device in his car at the scene. The father bought the gun, which doesnβt necessarily mean anything, but whatβs going on with the family? Who are they? The guy was living at home, not on his own. Itβs far too soon to determine that he is a lone wolf.
Too broad a brush. My best friend of over 30 years is named Karen, and she's not a liberal nor is she inclined to wish ill on anyone. She does, however, cringe every time she has to give her first name.
it is amazing how trump triggers the extreme mentally ill, unstable---the corrupt politicians and SCREAMING KARENS. While he attracts the truth seeking hardworking God fearing, honest-leaning generous ppl of the world. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear....
Speaking of which (eyes to see and ears that hear)β¦β¦the Biblical symbolism of blood on the right ear and tight thumbβ¦β¦and the right toe. Did you know he lost his shoes when he went down? I would love to know if he had blood on his right big toe.
Read Exodus 29:20
The blood sprinkled ear must be always willing to hear Godβs Word; the blood sprinkled thumb on the right hand symbolizes hands that are ever ready to do Godβs will; and the blood-sprinkled toe is a symbol of feet ever committed to walk in the Way of righteousness and truth
When he went down, those who could see him said his lips were moving and it appeared he was praying. And what I saw when he got up, was a changed man. With his face on that platform, imho, he had an experience with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I saw something in his face I had never seen before. Humility.
I saw grit! Exodus 29:20. I have not seen that before, or never put it in context. As always, the Bible doesn't have an expiration date!
Donald Trump stood up, with such a look of grit and determination, as we've not seen. Oh, we saw his drive and energy, and how much he cares - but that grit, that force!
He arose with a determination that shows a man of strength and character that melts all the silly words the msm concocted.
God bless Donald Trump. God bless those who lost their loved one, and those injured. May the God of love and vengeance (for we know God says vengeance is Mine) be among us as we move through these times.
I think he actually had a spiritual experience on that floor. An encounter.
The blood on the right thumb, the right ear and the right toe is a sign of anointing.
He is still a man. Still flawed, like me. But the symbolism of that blood place in the exact way is a sign to those, as the original comment on this thread posted βlet him who has eyes that see and ears that hearβ.
There will be those who will scoff at this. But what happened had to happen. To prove that the Hand of the Almighty is upon him.
Those who are against him better be carefulβ¦.βTouch not My anointedβ¦β¦β
Maybe some people on here can at least recognize heβs a very unique and talented individual.
Some of what is said seems to come from a deep place of envy and jealousy and revulsion.
Iβm disappointed to see that on here.
But given the number of people on here yesterday, who didnβt seem to get Jeffβs reference to βthe shot heard round the worldβ, I blame it on the public school system.
I spent this last weekend helping to teach more than a dozen people how to become better skilled at arms,and about the events and individuals that stood up and MADE A DIFFERENCE on 10 April 1775, the day "the shot hard round the world" (along with a few thousand that followed that shot) was fired.
Donald Trump's response to the attempt upn his life is very like those w"well-regulated" men (and a handful of women) who rose to the need toat day. Taking no thought for their own "safety" or "comfort" they awoke in the wee hours, mustered out, and marched half the night to stand against the tyrants determined to further subjugate them. They stood firm and said NO.
It took almost another ten years to finally convince The King's Best that they would NEVER prevail against the true Sons of Liberty. And this nation was born out of that.
One of them later declared that the tree of liberty would ned watering from time to time with the blood of patriots.
That time is ow THIS time... there will be more blood to water that Tree in the coming months. But if I did not believe WE will prevail I'd ship off to some remote corner of this big dirtball and hibernate somewhere else.
I did. I have only seen where he said he prophesied it 3 months ago. Iβm VERY wary of todayβs βprophetsβ.
(People say that Joseph should have kept his mouth shut about his dreams, because he came off as spoiled. I posit that he HAD TO TELL his dreams, so that his brothers would remember. If he had told them βafter the dream came true, they could have said βOf course youβre saying that now!β β¦.. soβ¦.. Iβm very, very wary.)
Did you see the video clip of the fellow who allegedly predicted back in March that Trump would be shot in the ear and have a deeply religious experience? I don't know if it is legitimate or not but it appears to be.
It's a limited enough amount of detail that it COULD be a coincidence (and the guy says "busted his eardrum" which as far as we know didn't happen, but he may have misspoken). On the other hand, I'm not prepared to rule it out either - I sure hope the prophecy's consequence (Trump having a genuine born-again experience) does/did indeed happen.
I had the thought that he saw his life flash before his eyes and seeing, yes indeed they want me dead. And then that sense of humility that you are but a mortal man and can be taken out.
I can believe that The LORD has been a long time drawing him to Himself. HE chose this man for His purpose, WILL.. Spiritually a mix of Paul and Peter.
However I was sad to hear his position in abortion. I get a βrationaleβ for that but a believer believes all life is ordained by God and is precious in his site. Even a child from incest or rape.
That is pretty profound. Never noticed that scripture. I watched RNC tonight and he was moved to tears and seemed quite humble in facial expression anyway.
You make me realize the triggered left are probably mostly on psych medications due to mental illness, if just fear, but get this, the bottle of their "anxiety-calming" medication ironically says "may cause violence"
one of my past best friends jumped from pastor husb + 2 kids, at time they were 10 &12 to a lesbian relationship 30 yrs ago....she is the most hate filled rage infected man hating trump derranged person I've ever seen! I saw her on twitter over the last year...she spends her days bashing trump and anything godly. And YES she was molested by a man across street when she was young and by her cousins. I struggled with homo BS until 40...IT IS nurture and abuse...not nature I can vouch...do not believe the BS. Only Gods healing can get you out of those places of hate and unforgiveness.
OH MY GOSH! You are right...and ALL of the mass shooters(sandy hook etal..) are on psych meds and so many in the tranz self hatred sexual challenged camp. Why do the CIA groom tranz mentally ill to be their stooges?
I think an incredible number of people are on something. Imagine a crisis with a huge supply chain failure. Most of our pharmaceuticals appear to come from China.
Imagine these people cold turkey withdrawing from all these substances.
They feel like the happiest, friendliest place on earth. They are so powerful, when you see there are so many more of us than them.
And now, Iβm sure they will be very safe. Those big men you saw who spotted the evil creep will be doing their own surveillance from now on. Thereβs plenty of time for it, since most people arrive hours before the event.
My first instinct after the shooting was to tell him to just do rallies by zoom or something! But you are right, the rallies are so wonderful to attend in person! The camaraderie and friendships that are made there are second to none! Maybe they should put a bulletproof plexiglass cube around him or something?
As a veteran, after living through eight years of Obama and the divisiveness, I remember feeling so happy to see people proud to be American again! When that Lee Greenwood song is played, and everyone is standing together and pledging to the flag it feels like a celebration of Unity. God Bless America πΊπΈ
There are undoubtedly many police, fire fighters, ex-military and even current military who attend these rallies. Going forward I hope they join together to do their own surveillance at the events.
I actually don't think Trump triggers the mentally ill and unstable. They are triggered because of the all the propaganda by the MSM and the party that controls them. Most of what people believe about DJT isn't true. They have made an effigy out of the propaganda, and they are ready to destroy that.
when the demon possessed hear truth they scream and nash their teeth...maybe I should say the politicians and MSM who disseminate what trump says are triggering the masses. Honestly, what difference does it make? the vagina heads from 7.5 yrs ago were the original screaming karens...they choose what to be triggered by don't they? Regardless if it is given to them by whoopie and THE VIEW who're also mentally ill--WOKE? Liars are drawn to liars....mentally ill are drawn to other mentally ill commenters. I have incredible past friends who are brilliant educated loving folk who have never turned off CNN in 20 yrs! So who is at fault for what they believe? It makes me wary of anything they believe...not saying I'm a prophet but I sure as hell can see truth when I hear it.
And I note that people on this site want to talk about almost anything besides President Trump. And if something is said, three quarters of it is extremely negative.
Iβm happy to see what Jeff had to say about DJT this morning. But I bet a lot of regulars on here are having to go to their safe places and hug their teddy bears.
What horrifies ME more is the fact that (from her brief bio there) sheβs teaching DOCTORS her awful bull$)*! Letβs hope maybe her moment of internet fame will put a stop to that.
And she was taught (indoctrinated) by someone before her. The corruption of academia goes way back. And it trickles all the way down to preschools now.
Sheβs looking like a hot potato. I am expecting to read in the morning that she has been disavowed by Canada altogether. Maybe sheβs at the vanguard of a new category of homelessness: consequential ostracism.
After July 13, 2024, there can be no doubt God exists. If Trump had not tilted his head at the right angle at the right second, he would be dead today and America in flames. God saved President Donald J. Trump and America.
God sends His angels π to help us at the right time, though we may not discern them.
( Example:When my son was a toddler, I was feeding him in his high chair and our floor was unpolished hard tile. For one minute I got up to get something a foot away. He got very antsy and instantly was in a position of literally falling head first unto the floor. I felt time stop long enough for me to catch him. It defied time. I knew that it had to be an angel that stopped his fall).
God intervenes in so many ways from Heaven. Thank you God! π π
We too had a firsthand experience with the existence of Angels. A few years ago our sonβs car broke down on a busy expressway where cars were going impossibly fast (75-80 mph) on both sides of the chevroned median he safely pulled over to while waiting for a tow truck. Some woman who was impatient with the fast moving merge lane chose to drive in the median area to bypass everyone in front of her. My sonβs car engine was off, and so was his seatbelt because he had just gotten back inside after taking a picture of the surrounding area for the tow truck driver to find him. His hazards were on, but she rear ended him traveling 75 mph. It threw him and his car forward the entire 425ft length of the chevroned median area. His car came to a stop at the very tip end where cars on both sides whizzed past within inches of each door.
Paramedics and firemen said he should have been catapulted through his windshield and not be alive. They said the chances of any car traveling an exact, geometrically straight line like that for that distance without veering to one side or the other into traffic was nothing short of a miracle. Our son was shaken, but walked away with only a cut on his forehead. I wholeheartedly believe angels were on both sides of his car that day guiding it safely. Thereβs just no way you could recreate what happened even if you tried, not without CGI. β€οΈπ We thank God every day for sparing his life.
I love these evidences. My friend and another computer guy were waiting in a Sam Trans commute line at rush hour in SF, they got a call from someone at work to come immediately, and after they left a rogue bus that had lost its brakes plowed through the line of waiting commuters, killing and injuring them.
Thank you! Recently my cat was attacked by a feral Tom cat and I ran after them as they tumbled down the uneven stone steps of the apartment complex, down a hill, no handrails, nothing. I flew down the steps , did not trip or fall, miraculously. I am sure angels were holding me up. My cat was injured but is fine now.
So are the fallen angels. 1/3 of them were cast down from heaven. Prowling like lions like their leader. Stay aware; pray constantly. Love God and your neighbor.
Because of 2 Peter 2:4 I think we are seeing the work of demons vs fallen angels. But, definitely we are to do all you mentioned for the battle is real.
Oh, I believe the fallen angels ARE the demons. If people believe in angels they have to realize that demons are real, too. I agree we are seeing work that is being supported by demons.
The demons are the spirits of the Nephillim. And I agree. Fallen angels are among us. Demons donβt have the power of angels. And the battle is harder than it has ever been, at least for me. Iβm not sure that the angels held in captivity have yet been loosed. But I think itβs possible. The battle is going to get harder. Better put on the armor of Godβ¦β¦.HIS WORD!!
When my father was dying in 1989, my firefighter brother was working and living about 175 miles away from the hospital where our father was. He was driving down to the hospital but was tired and fell asleep at the wheel. Something jerked him out of his sleep and he was about to drive off the road but was able to catch it in time, and for some reason he glanced at the car's clock. It was 2:54 p.m. He later found out our father died at exactly 2:54 p.m.
In 1990, I was in a big ole Crown Victoria station wagon with my husband and four children. He was driving the New Jersey Turnpike, where the speed limit must have been 95. It was raining and it was rush hour traffic. We were small town Floridians visiting relatives and clueless.
My husband started to exit and then quickly changed his mind. All I know is he pulled directly into the path of a large white van that could not possibly have missed us. I had the distinct impression that it just went right through us.
I knew we should all have been dead. The van driver ended up beside us an let us know that whatever he had experienced, he was most unhappy about it.
I commented somewhere a while back, maybe a year ago, that I felt Trump was here because he had an historically pivotal role to play. In something. I was vilified, as a βTrump loverβ which is funny, because Trump wasnβt my preference in the primaries (I love the policy nerd that is Desantis), although Iβm 100% behind him now. After the shooting Saturday, I am more convinced than ever that Trump is here, right now, doing what heβs doing, for a reason. Personally, I believe itβs a God thing... He has used many flawed men to advance his kingdom over the course of history. Whatever his role is, though, it will be pivotal. And not just to the US.
Nard, having lost my son at the young age of 32 to a very rare cancer, I have come to understand that God has numbered each one of our days for His reasons we can not understand. In my understanding, God should have left him longer on this earth. He was a much loved Pastor, husband and father to two young children. However, in the 7 years since his passing I have come to a greater understanding of God's sovereignty. It sounded like Corey knew the Lord and we can be comforted that he is with Him now. I have no doubt that God protected our former president.
Yesterday, when I first saw his name given, when I read that he had thrown his wife and daughter on the ground and lain on top of them to protect them, taking the bullet which killed him, I prayed for his soul. And I felt shivers go over my arms and legs for a couplr of minutes, the Holy Spirit answering my prayer. Then twice more yesterday when I saw him mentioned. I wish he were still with his family, but I know he is happy in Heaven now. I made a small donation to the Go Fund Me, thanks for the link! Super article today!
Camille, your answer to that comment comes from the wisdom gained from your tragic experience. God has blessed you with the peace that passes understanding.. Those who have no relationship with God never understand the concept of Godβs sovereignty and yesβ¦ goodness.
βAnd we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.β
ββRomansβ¬ β8β¬:β28β¬ βESVβ¬β¬
So many reject this statement that ALL things work for good, because they are missing the caveat partβ¦βfor those who love Godβ.
Remember the old phrase, βonly the good die youngβ? Iβve known of many very good people who died young. I tend to think that they finished the race early, they did all that God put them on this earth to accomplish and got to go home early.
Validation, Freebird. Christ called my big sister home very soon after her youngest graduated high school. She was a happy, vibrant, busy, God-fearing woman directing music on Christmas Eve when she had a massive brain hemorrhage, stepped outside the church, and never regained consciousnessβhere on earth anyway. Iβve wondered why He would take such a blessing from us. The answer came to me, βShe faithfully accomplished what I asked her to do. I want to reward her.β
Iβm so sorry for your loss. This knowledge doesnβt diminish our grief at the loss of a loved one, but it does bring us peace. And what comfort we have in knowing Christ, for our families and ourselves! I often wonder how people without that faith cope with those losses.
Thank you. Years before he died, Dad told his grandkids, βNo tears at my funeral! Iβll be gone to heaven, and I want you to say, βHooray for Papa!ββ They honored his request. I mourn for survivors and pray for their peace, but we all know mortal death is a Christianβs victory. βTo die is gainβ (Philippians 1:21). My favorite funeral hymn: βFor all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Allelujah!β
Oh my goodness! That takes me back 55 years to dinner waiting on the table, Dad on his way home from work, and Mom patiently playing the piano. Happened at least once a week for many years. Thank you, and blessings to you!
That was sung at my dearest Pastor's funeral by an enormous choir compromised of members from numerous churches and the local Synagogue. I sang along, as did many in the congregation, because I learned it in choir at the hyper-liberal school I attended... That was back in the early 70s, before they vanished any songs that proclaimed Christ and all things associated... It was glorious! We sang him into heaven!
Long years ago, I was providing daycare to a toddler and, after school care to his sister, in kindergarten with my middle child. A Jewish family. Little girl's grandmother died, mother, as she confided to me, went to library to get a book which would explain this to child. I was taken aback, and so sad.
Freebird, indeed. I have come to understand many things. Including what it means to have the "joy of the Lord", no matter what happens to you in your life. When you have a biblical perspective that changes EVERYTHING.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
Very true. God used the Pharoah in Egypt without changing his heart. Trump is not invincible and must still be protected. Lowering the temperature of debate is not weakness. It takes more energy to hold our tongues. We must firstly, as brothers and sisters in Christ, share the Gospel, right? Increase faith and make people wonder why we're different and what we know so they will be encouraged to take the same path. I'm not saying I'm perfect in this manner; I fail way to often. I wish only to remind myself and other brothers and sisters what's really important. God bless everyone! Even Joe Biden, that man that is a slave to pride and arrogance and blinded from knowing his faults. Poor guy. He hasn't a chance to make it with his unrepentant heart.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can also get us βthroughβ.
We pray that He will get us βoutβ, but since we have been complicit in the sins committed by our own government through our very silence, I have a feeling we will have to go THROUGH some hard times, just as Israel did in the wilderness, just as the three Hebrew children going through the fire. But HE will be with us. May He Who wrestled with Jacob wrestle us and may HE win!!!!
I just ordered a book called The Fourth Turning is Here. Might be something you'd wanna read. (I have NO idea if it's a good book or not. It just sounds like it's on the same wavelength you are.)
Type in 'Hermit of Loreto youtube' and listen to the 8-minute video from the priest that gave compelling evidence, in early 2017, that DJT has been sent to bring America back to God.
I love this. I wear Our Lady of Loreto medalβ¦ she is the Patron of Flyers. (Iβm a retired Navy Helicopter Pilot). She definitely was with me when I was flying.
Whereas Jill was on The View, telling all that the choice was between her husband, kind, good, loving truthful ,of integrity, and the other one--evil. Saw it b/c a young man was there, his jaw dropping as she proceeded through her encomium, then proceeded to filet her. Figuratively. (felt need to add that disclaimer, as Dems speak such words w. literal meaning).
Valerie, I think you would enjoy Lance Wallnau's book, "God's Chaos Candidate". Lance is a well respected prophetic voice in the church and makes a case that Trump is like King Cyrus in Isaiah 45 (?) who released the captive Hebrews from Babylonia to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and paid for it out of his treasury. He declared he believed in the Hebrew's God.
And am struck by fact that Jonah was sent to Ninevah--Assyria! Those are Gentiles! And their king took the warning so seriously that he ordered a 3-day dry fast (in that climate?) for humans and their animals as well. Averted God's wrath.
The book of Judges (and indeed, much of the Old Testament) is full of stories about very imperfect people that God appointed βfor such a time as this.β
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
There is a YouTuber, Melanie King, who has a photo from TikTok@wardeadpool that shows a bullet hole in Trump's upper right side. The suggestion is that the bullet was stopped by a bulletproof vest. Has anyone else seen anything on this?
Ok, so this is weird, my husband saw a video of the shooter, supposedly AFTER the shooting, him saying that they "got the wrong man" ????? Anyone collaborate or elaborate on this??? I thought that was extremely weird!!!
Thank you. Noticing the growth of this βbeautyβ procedure in my middle/high school, 2007 into teens, then almost of a sudden, it stoppedβI figured there would a lot of nice cars and $$$ vacations for cosmetic surgeons in the future. Same for tatts.
Yes, and the leaked instructions to the media about how to minimize the whole thing, incident, not assassination attempt, no appearance of gravity or βlong facesβ. It was all spelled out how it was to be handled by the media. Ya know, this is no different than the old USSR. But itβs so hard now to achieve their desired results due to the internet, ubiquitous phone cameras etc. they try but canβt put a lid on everything. COVID demonstrated that.
Wouldn't that be amazing! But then he'd have to get both ears pierced because the right ear means he's gay (at least that's what it used to mean in the 90s)
βYou saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fearβ (Deuteronomy 7:19).
There are no coincidences. And, did this begin in Genesis? Genesis 6:11 says "Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence." A warning shot rang out and reminds us to fight the evil around us and get back to God.
I do believe God exists, but I cannot comprehend God sacrificing a good man for the sake of another. If God saved Trump, why not save Corey Comperatore? Iβm glad Trump survived, but Iβm not convinced it was an act of God.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5
Hi Nard, that is a great question, and we can turn to the Bible for help. The Bible provides several insights that can help us understand this difficult issue.
Death entered the world through Adam's sin, not through God's original design (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12). We live in a fallen world where death, disease, and suffering are present because of humanity's collective sin. This means that the tragedies we experience are a result of living in a broken world, not a direct act of God.
God is not the author of calamity but rather our Comforter in the midst of it (John 14:26). He promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). While we may not understand why certain events happen, we can trust that God is with us, providing comfort and strength during our times of grief.
It is important to remember that believers are not under God's wrath or judgment (Romans 5:9; John 5:24). Jesus' death on the cross was the full punishment for our sins, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). This means that God is not punishing us or our loved ones through death or suffering.
Our hope as Christians is not in this life but in the eternal life we have in Christ (Colossians 3:1-4). Jesus promises us that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). The assurance of eternal life with God provides us with hope and comfort, even in the face of loss.
Though we do not have all the answers to why specific tragedies occur, we can trust in God's goodness, His presence with us, and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. βοΈβ€οΈ
Thank you for this. I had been feeling like God was punishing me for something since 2020 with everything that had happened in my life and to family and friends. A little while ago I suddenly came to the understanding that it wasnβt all about me and that the reasons for my loved ones dying when they did likely had more to do with them, their needs, and with the situation in the world at large, than with meβeven though I was suffering the consequences. And so your reminder that whatever happens to us in this world, that is not what we need to focus on, is very timely. I need to keep in mind that eternal life, not this fallen world, is what my sights should always be on.
Oh no, our loved ones dying is never God's punishment. Death was never God's plan for the world. But He uses it, and the greatest mystery of all is that he chose to experience it himself as Christ, turning the most horrible of things into the greatest demonstration of his love for us.
I too have lost loved ones, but I know that God loves them even more than I do. I do not believe God wanted my daughter to suffer and die from cancer (her death was caused by negligent doctors and is on them not God; he allows us free will after all, and that means people are free to be criminally negligent). I do believe He knew she would die this way and provided so many graces including the timing of her death. He loves her so much more than I; I am just beginning to see that now. Grief is a journey and a long and winding one. Be patient with yourself through it. ππ
I guess it just felt like a lot to go through, and even though I knew on an intellectual level that it wasnβt punishment, it sure felt like it π At first I just thought, God is trying to teach me something through this, but then came to the realization that whatever I learn is not necessarily the reason for these things happening, but more simply an effect, if that makes any sense.
And, "whom God loves, He chastens" as I ( having just returned from hospital 6/29 , with a splint on shattered radius) responded to grandson who asked, "Why does Grandma have so many accidents?"
I follow pastor Dr. Andrew Farley, who has a wonderful, purely Biblical grace message that surprises most Christians. Most of us don't realize we can rest in Jesus and stop trying to out-best everyone else with our good works. Check him out!
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Matthew 14:27
All the answers to those questions remain elusive this side of heaven. No way our finite minds can comprehend Godβs ways. But, we do know that God is in control and has a plan to work things out for good for His glory. Our part is to trust, to be faithful and to obey.
As difficult as it is to hear when we ask Why it is actually prideful and a god-like attitude. The right attitude is like Jobsβ¦. is to say wHy NOT meβ¦. Lord I deserve nothing. Humility.
Godβs ways are not our ways nor his thoughts, our thoughts. Just because we cannot see how this current situation might end or what it may mean, doesnβt mean that God, who is sovereign over everything, does not. In our own lives we often see, much later, why something happened. And often, it is something difficult or unwanted. But God sees the end from the beginning and knows all. That is the difference in our lives. Either we trust him or we donβt. But He does not call us to stand on the sidelines and just watch. He expects us to pray and to work. Jeff is doing that, and we should all do it as well. Whether it is just talking to friends, or praying in private, God uses our prayers. Just like with Jobβ¦God told him to pray for his friends, even though God was right there, but JOB had to pray for his friends and THEN God would forgive them.
βAnd my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.β 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.β Job 42: 8b-9.
Regarding Corey Comperatore, in one sense, he gave his life for his family. But it was his time, as no one goes before his time. God says, in Psalm 139, that "in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The world is praying for his family and God will support them and sustain them in this new life that they now have to live.
Iβm glad you believe God exists. My prayer is that youβll to get to know him by reading his Word and develop a relationship with him. After that a question like this will never again enter your mind.
I've had many "good" people taken from me in my life. Family men, godly women, innocent children. Do I understand it? Absolutely not. This verse has helped me to remember not to put God in a box or make Him in my image ("Well, I certainly wouldn't have done that!) He's God. I'm not.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT
[8] βMy thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,β says the Lord. βAnd my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Uhhh, He sacrificed his only son for all of humanity.....And if Jesus wasn't "a good man", then no one is (not that we can be, that being the whole point)
He gave us His Son who went to the Cross what more should HE give? This was a horrible act of free will by a great number of satanic players. This is not Gods fault. Shame on you for suggesting so. Maybe itβs the fault of Buddha or Gia?.
Agreed, but we do NOT know the thoughts or ways of God as you yourself should know. It may be that God IS saddened by this death, but it was from evil, evil and sin are in this world and God did NOT want this but because of man's inability to keep God in front of him, sin and evil rules this world. We need as a nation to come BACK to God in REPENTENCE and seeking forgiveness for our sins individually and our sins as a nation. You know the famous passage, If we humble ourselves (in repentance and seeking forgiveness), God will hear and heal our land (yes paraphrasing since I don't have a bible handy atm) and this is what is lacking in our country right now. As Pastor Faircloth calls it -, LGBT BBQ, trans, homosexuality and such run rampant across this land, in addition to child trafficking, abortion (child sacrifice), God has lifted His arm of protection off this nation, off our so-called churches (lukewarm or non-existence). We need to turn back to God individually AND as a nation!!!!
Well a pastor would not question the God I know. Frankly I donβt care if you are a lay pastor whatβs your point in that. Like itβs not material to an opinion. It sounds like trying to bring up sexualityβ¦.again has nothing to do with opinions. Iβm a CPA.
Not questioning Godβ¦just asking questions. Much like we did in the pandemic. And with vaccines. Is it Godβs will that so many died because of the vax? Asking questions is never a bad thing.
If any of you guys have a free hour or so to watch this teaching by Jack Hibbs, it is a real eye-opener. Jump to 14:30 if you want to skip the worship music. It brought me greater clarity and peace in Sunday
Godβs ways are higher than our ways. He knows the beginning and the ending.
Though many (including myself) use reason and understanding of His word to feel like we know, we can never fully understand and it doesnβt bring comfort to everyone.
So I will just say: I trust God knows & God is in control.
I once asked a holy man how could God allow a young man in his late 30's whom I knew personally to be gunned down by a terrorist group. His answer you don't know what the future for that man would hold whereas God knew that this was the best time to take him. We cannot, with a small and limited minds, be able to comprehend God
Maybe it was an act of God, and the sacrifice of a truly good man was necessary and critical in Godβs plan to protect from the falsehoods that would be spread that this was all staged. I guarantee you his rewards in heaven will be great for his selflessness in sacrifice to protecting his family first and for his attempting to wake up every morning and live an obedient life to God as best he could. God doesnβt always save innocents, but that doesnβt mean he is unworthy of our reverence and love. It doesnβt mean he is cruel or unfeeling. I couldnβt save my own children from the consequences of their occasional bad choices, but I also couldnβt save them from the hurt and pain caused by others choosing sin and evil against them in spite of them doing and being good, and believe me I tried as hard as any mother should to save them from the evil acts of others. The fact that I could not protect them fully does not mean Iβm not a loving mother or unsuccessful or incompetent at my job, and unworthy of their trust. We canβt force people to choose good, therein lies the true test of love, giving them freedom to choose on their own. But to truly give that freedom of choice it means sometimes one man will hurt another who is innocent. God doesnβt just protect us here in the flesh, he protects us into eternity - for those who love Him.
God can do anything, yes, but like any parent he has to take into account what is necessary for the sake of the whole family as a unit. When it serves a greater purpose he sometimes allows the pain and injustice towards those who donβt deserve it. (Think Job) And I am confident no suffering is felt by those who are not saved and his immense love and rewards are showered on them when they unite with Him in heaven.
You donβt have to comprehend his ways before you give Him your faith and trust, before you give him the benefit of the doubt. Just like children canβt possibly see all that a parent sees before they choose to obey them, because the child has not lived enough to learn and understand and see all that the parent knows. The parent sees so much further than the child is capable of. God sees a bigger picture than you or I are able to see. We have to trust that our βFatherβ has our best interests at heart and faithfully obey. And of course good parents do. Just because there are parents among us, who are sinful, and they violate that principle does not mean the principle isnβt true.
We all have free will. Since the evildoers are running the show right now, we allowed it to happen.. I donβt know why he was allowed to die either. Iβm glad he was a born again Christian.
God will use the affliction of both of these men. He will and has been using Trump to expose the evils of this current administration and if he is allowed by God to make it through this election cycle to make changes for the good, apparently God isnβt done with Trump yet, and Coreyβs to enrage the people to the point of making changes and motivating them to Do Something about what is happening to this Country. Corey is a righteous man and undeserving of this death, but only the Lord numbers our days. I would imagine this would have been his last day on earth no matter the situation. We donβt die before our time. I pray for his family as they grieve their loss of this good and godly man. I pray they find joy and peace that he is singing hallelujah with the angels at the feet of Jesus.
Many of our ur eyes are being opened and the truth is coming out. Praise be to the God of all creation!
I was reminded of George Washington when I learned of the assassination attempt. Good to know history and it will deepen your faith in God:
"While riding along the ranks looking to steady the men, Washington had two horses shot out from under him and four bullet holes shot through his coat." He was unharmed. Look it up.
By the way, I did not learn this in public school.
Exactly my immediate thought! GOD protects His anointed. GOD is always working - no days, nights or weekends off. The thought of Him brings comfort and βthe peace that surpasses all understanding β.
The Georgia Guidestones destruction awhile back revealed that He is in fact with us.
Still, it took four? shots from how close? God protected Trump and sadly also proved it wasn't a bb gun or accidentally roughed up by attacking SS ladies.
πRoof gunman shot from had been 'flagged as security concern' by Secret Service
'The roof from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot at Donald Trump had reportedly been flagged as a potential security problem by the Secret Service before the assassination attempt, according to a report by NBC News.
Crooks climbed on to the roof of a building belonging to a glass research company which was 150 yards from where Trump was speaking on a stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. A source told NBC News:
Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,β
The Secret Service had indicated the building should be under the jursdiction of local law enforcement because it was outside the rally perimiter, according to the report'.
Passing the buck. As usual, no one takes personal responsibility for anything these days. Which is exactly why things like this happen. Itβs like little kids saying, βnot me! He did it!β. Disgusting, and disappointing.
Yep, big time deflection of responsibility. And there was a ladder. How and when was it put there? Did the shooter bring it with him or was it placed there beforehand? How did he know to place it on that particular building whey wasnβt it noticed before? Why did a local policeman climb it, see the gunman, and scurry back down?
150yds is outside the perimeter??? And pretty much the only roof not occupied by a security marksman?? If that is so, the first thing that President Trump should do after his inauguration is a complete overhaul of USSS.
There's that Magic Term again --- perimeter. Apparently as fixed as the North Star ... constant, immovable and inviolate! Never to be expanded, or contracted, nor moved about in anyway.
Perimeter! It is also a religious word because if something lies outside one's 'perimeter' ... then one is absolved of all sin, all responsibility!
Totally amazing how that powerful word works. And I'm going to remember that word! Because the next time DeWife asks me why didn't I do this or that I can just say ... "Well! That job was outside my perimeter!"
For Catholics, the 13th of the month is quite meaningful. Our Lady of Fatima appeared on the 13th of the month for six months in a row. Saint Pope John Paul II was also shot on the 13th of a month and was protected. Heaven is definitely interceding on Trump's behalf.
Orthodox too. Prayer is efficacious for all souls, whether they are experiencing a foretaste of heaven or hell until the final judgement.
That is why traditionally in foreign cultures, one said "may God have mercy on his/her soul" , though I do think that "rest in peace" has the same intention, though not as clear.
My mother's 106th birthday anniversary was Thurs. I prayed for her soul that day (and sent note to brothers and children suggesting same). Protestant here. Nothing to do with doctrine, just moved to offer prayer.
As Iβve said,there will necessarily be some killing in our future. But to wake the sleeping or one eye open giant that is us, it will take something so egregiousβ¦
Trump's weakness (?) is that he actually has a heart when it comes to his competition having lost. He is extrembly competitive, but feels for the loser. It is a good trait, a leadership trait.
I am sorry that you take my words as being that of an adoring fan. π€Obviously you have not read my many posts of honest critiques about certain things he has done or said. π€
I am not a blind fan of anyone!!
I am. however, entitled to my observations which include RFKJR being a man of integrity and reason.
I base my assumption on Trump from when he was running on 'getting Hillary' for her illegal actions in 2016. After she LOST to him, his rhetoric turned nice, going as far as saying that she and Bill were good people.
While anyone in politics or business is an opportunist, I still stand by my observation. I think that he hates losing because of his competitive ego, but he is gracious to those who he has lost to.
In any case, what does it matter? If you think that Biden is better for your vision of the country, then, by all means, vote for him. It is your prerogative. I wouldn't insult you for it!
Also, with all due respect, saying that I do not have the ability to be a critical thinker is extremely insulting and offensive, and just as much as if I were to say you have TDS.
don't know know? Haven't you been paying attention to the dumbocrats and the main stream propaganda? That the right-wing and Trump will be the end of democracy
Yuri, I've been praying (in our before dinner prayer, where two of us are gathered......) for several mos. "for those in positions of power or authority(knowing full well who put them there), that their hearts may turn to Him". So I guess I/we've been doing our homework.
Salena Zeto, a reporter, was at the rally with her daughter. She has been to many and noted to Glenn Beck this morning that in all the rallies she has seen, it was the first time heβd used graphics, and also the first time heβd turned his head to the side like that, to look at what he was speaking about, while keeping his body facing the audience.
I feel the same as Yuri regarding the flames. It may spontaneously combust or it may take a spark but the kindling is dry and just waiting.... You feel it and don't deny it.
I know it sounds like a minor thing under the circumstances, but to use GoFundMe instead of GiveSendGo is incredibly sad. The level of brainwashing is unbelievable. Organizers are naively using a woke communist deep state organization as the intermediary for charitable giving to heroes. Never forget what GoFundMe did to the Canadian Freedom Truckers and so many others, stealing their money and starving them out. But of course most, even the best among us, have forgotten. The Left wins in a million ways unless we are eternally vigilant.
Exactly right. Several mixups just here in this thread. GiveSendGo made a big mistake. They should have called it FreedomFunding or GiveLove, something that contrasts it. Too bad.
make that argument but I also think they are faith based in which βsendingβ someone like sending out a missionary makes sense. Give send go. But agree its tough being close to GFM.
Isnβt GiveSendGo the Christian alternative? GoFundMe was the one that wouldnβt give the Canadian truckers the money raised for them. And GiveSendGo allows you to also send prayers to recipients.
Same thoughts. Seriously?!!!! I wouldβve donated but not through them. I sincerely hope that they donβt pull an ethical fast one and find a way to withhold the money from those families. Iβm holding my breath hoping they do the right thing. There are 100 excuses they can dig up to withhold it. Even if they donβt donors just funded GFMs checkbook. Sad.
Since thatβs the platform chosen for donations Iβll use it to give to these families. Theyβll get the funds they need and at some point the Lord will ensure Godfundme gets what they deserve.
GoFundMe about 6% on a $10 donation and about 4.5% on a $20 donation. Minimum fee is approximately 3% as donations get larger and larger. It's complex in that is 2.9%, plus $.30 per donation. Also they ask for a tip which is preposterous. GiveSendGo, the good site, has a similar transaction fee setup but it's a little less. And you're supporting what appears to be a good business instead of an Antifa Satanist one.
I met the owners of GiveSendGo at RePlatform Las Vegas. They are incredibly good people. If not for GSG, and C&C, we would not have made it this far. Thank you EVERYONE!
Fire Chief Compertore, who rapidly pulled his wife and daughter to the ground, covered them to protect them, and took an incoming bullet that tore through his head is as precise and real of an example of a hero as you could ever find. Objectively.
Fun fact about Trumps rally on Saturday...it was covered live on CNN. CNN had not done a live Trump event since his Town Hall over a year ago. What are the odds that CNN covered that very event where Trump βshould haveβ been assassinated. Just like when CNN just happened to be hanging around Roger Stones house in the middle of the night before the FBI raided him like he was hiding Bin Laden.
This whole thing is extremely suspect, none of it adds up. And we will never get a straight answer.
And what are the odds that USSS sent a ragtag bunch of replacements for this particular event to relieve Trump's usual protective detail, and retained resources to cover Dr Jill's visit elsewhere in PA, including the snipers approved just a day prior, leaving them no time to prepare or scout the area?π€
There was a video of two of the female USSS looking back and forth while the male USSS were covering Trump. One of the females was trying unsuccessfully to holster her weapon. Good thing she didn't experience an AD with that thing.
Iβll take things that will never happen for $200 Alex.
The Don might want that. We might want that. But the RINO uniparty scum would not let that happen. Just like they were investigating the Bidens, where has that got us? A sternly worded letter or two? No impeachment.
When team R had all of the power during Trumps first two years in office very little was accomplished thanks to this same RINO uniparty scum. Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and their ilk.
I hope Iβm wrong and youβre right but Iβm not going to hold my breath. Iβm just thankful DJT is somehow still alive.
Haha! "Things that will never happen for $200" Good One. Will Ferrel needs to resurrect his character for a new take on "Celebrity Jeopardy"...."Deep State Jeopary"
Just like this kid they are accusing as the shooter. Heβs probably been moved away, given a new life and plastic surgery, living in a Black rock home somewhere. That dead body they showed us is not Thomas Crooks.
Oh very good point. Trump has rallies so often that I don't even notice anymore, and it seems as if the only place with live coverage consistently is RSBN on yt. Hm...
I hadnβt thought of that. Itβs chilling. We know that CNN works with the FBI and the CIA, through their reporting. If President Trump were killed on live TV Kennedy style, I cannot imagine. Itβs truly a miracle.
How would Blackrock know to search for any instances of the alleged shooter in their video ads? Is that standard practice for companies to review their advertisements after an incident such as this? And how far back do you look, 2, 4, 10 years? Just very odd.
Canβt remember specifics, unfortunately, but I do know there have been times in the past where they had no trouble and if they did they would tell the wireless provider to cough up the phone records. Just another example of coverup.
It happened with the pulse night club shooter in Florida. The FBI needed the backdoor to his Apple phone and they denied them access. It went to court.
I discovered how easy it is to hack someone's computer when mine refused to respond and Apple walked me through a few simple steps to bypass the password. I have to believe the phone is the same. So much for privacy! (That last sentence may need a /sarc)
That's extra funny to those of us who watch True Crime stuff on a regular basis. The first thing they do is bust into the phones. Not only that, obviously, even if a person tries to delete what's in there, it's no good. ALL of it can be tracked.
Laura Loomer posted that video on Twitter. Donβt know if she was the first to have it or not, but the video was out there, so Blackrock didnβt have any choice.
Laura Loomer reported on it either late Saturday or Sunday. I'm not sure how she found out so quickly as the kid was just an extra in the commercial and not mentioned by name.
"One hand pulled the trigger, another guided the bullet" - Pope John Paul II after his assassination attempt. Nothing less than the hand of God intervened on Saturday.
Biden's words last night ring hollow, coming from a man who has been claiming for the last 4 years that "Trump poses an existential threat to democracy!", trying to falsely compare Trump to Hitler as much as possible. Now, all of the sudden, he wants to tone things down?
Wow! I did not know that. Not surprising however. Last week, one of the national Leftist magazines had on their cover a "blended Trump/Hitler face." Disgusting. Inside the magazine they talked about how Trump fit the many signs of a fascist dictator. That's funny, I recall that Trump in his first term couldn't even get his wall built because some Lefty district or circuit judge was constantly blocking it. Nor did Trump ever throw any reporters in jail. Nor did he silence any speech.
Meanwhile, Biden was mandating that people take experimental jabs. Biden was conducting lawfare against his political opponents. Biden was not giving his political opponents adequate Secret Service protection. Biden was colluding with Big Social Media to "censor" the speech of fellow Americans who stray from the approved narrative. Biden was ignoring the Constitution by just unilaterally declaring student college debt "forgiven" in order to buy the youth vote. Biden never said a bad word about Antifa, the Orwellian named militant arm of his Democrat Party. There are many more examples.
It's a classic case of "projection." The Democrats ALWAYS falsely accuse you of the sins that they are committing themselves. The Democrats are the Fascists.
Trump didn't do a lot of the things you mentioned, but remember that Julian Assange was jailed and not released under Trump. He spent an extra 7 years in jail he didn't need to.
So typical, all the left wing politicians say the same exact thingβpolitical violenceβ has to stop, no place in β¦ blah blah blah. Their handlers are lousy script writers. No variety.
His handlers can see where that's all going. He has to at least give an appearance of calling to tone things down. We'll see what happens in the following days/weeks.
We still need to always remember that Jesus said those who take up the sword will die by the sword, and he also said to love our enemies. Human instinct is to fight back in the same way we are attacked. Christ Followers are called to be different, than those who are in this world. To be the light of the world. We are called to follow the example set by our Lord. Love, kindness, peace, forgiveness, mercy, goodness, truth, honesty.
if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
He also said to buy a sword. The one who has a sword, but shows restraint in it's use because of His Name, honors Him. The one who uses a sword in preservation of the life of another, and then dies by the sword, has given his life for another. I'm speaking as a man and not from scripture, but as a man who has used the sword and then has become a believer, only because of His mercy and grace.
The discriminator is whether He is acting in you as His proxy. Those who don't believe will not understand, and will act inappropriately. Those will then bring you before magistrates. Some may act in His name, but deceitfully. Pray for discernment.
Our Lord went to His death with legions of angels at His disposal. But at other times, He also brought to bear legions of angels to bring about His purposes.
Don't believe a word I say without prayerfully referring to scripture.
βDo not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. - Jesus
Yes, it is. I believe when Jesus cleared the Temple of the money changers and those selling sacrificial animals his anger was a righteous anger. Then when he dealt with the religious leader several times, we can hear his righteous anger in the words he used towards them.
The FBLie has yet to arrest the first client of Jeffrey Epstein's although they have computers, videos and other files. They bungled the pedophe investigation of Larry Nassar and had to pay his victims 139 million dollars. The FBLie had Hunter Biden's laptop and said nothing. They had lethal force authorization for the MAL raid. Etc. Etc. That FBI?
Wouldn't trust them to say it is raining without first looking.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven! How stupid do they think we are? (Rhetorical) Seriously?!!
My sister and brother in law (rabid liberals) said, they just donβt want people lying to them π€¦π»ββοΈ they honestly think the left is spewing truthβ¦OH and my sis (who is very smart) Northwestern grad a bunch of masters degreesβ¦said βthere is nothing wrong with Bidenβ π³ how do you even have a conversation with the gaslighting sheβs gotten?
Simple, you donβt or you canβt, itβs impossible to try to make sense with someone that has already make their mind. If they agree with you it means that they have to automatically accept that they have been wrong all along and not to many people have that kind of integrity, specially the very smart ones. By the way same problem hereβ¦I just donβt touch the subject when we have to be together.
βFor those that understand, no explanation is needed.
For those that donβt understand, non explanation is enough β
Exactly. None of my highly educated friends did their due diligence when it came to the clot shot. Some listened to me but went ahead and took the needle.
Once I determine someone is brainwashed, I just go away. I'm not into a conflict with a crazy person. And I run into them here and there on my podcast. The only rule of my podcast is "no politics"; I'm interested in the human journey. But the libs invariably have to say something, even if it's after recording. What is it with these people????
It's so bizarre. I spoke to someone the other day who was all about "unity" but as soon as the podcast was over, she/he reverted to their true self and started screaming "how could anyone be so stupid to not believe in Climate warming." This was out of the blue and had nothing to do with our conversation. I gave my standard response: "I think the issue is really about whether we've been good stewards of the earth, and the answer is clearly no". They had no response for that. It didn't fit their activist paradigm and they certainly couldn't go off their well memorized talking points. They swim in a different pond, and simply cannot see they are programmed the way they are.
Unfortunately, being βbook smartβ and possessing logic and common sense, that are much more important in the real world, appear to be mutually exclusive (not always, but in many cases). I worked at a university for many years and witnessed it first hand with the professional academic class.
I totally agree!! Iβm the street smart/logical one out of my sisters. My brother has that going for him as well. He and his wife (CA residents) are HUGE TRUMP fans. BUT only after they saw what was happening to media and them persecuting the man. Anyway, my sis is just so dug in I honestly feel sorry for her.
I failed high school, but got a job in a bank at 15. I enrolled in Uni when I was 40. Graduated SCL... Being an older student, I was well equipped to sort the bullshit.
Well I barely made it outβ¦BUT started my own business and have kept my head above water. I love being a logical thinker, itβs kept me alive and well during some shakey times.
Gigi ... you resonate. I keep thinking that if one's mind is cauterized by an incessant spewing of lies, at some point one is no longer genuinely human, but rather a mental cyborg owned by the state, the Deep State ... or whatever Invisible Hand Controlling.
The tearing apart of natural human relations is an act of warfare plain and simple. What has happened in the Western World is a tragedy as great as what happen to Russia in 1917. If one throws in the C19 bioweapon, maybe worse if only in enlargement of scale.
It is strange that 'smart' people are not always so 'smart'. And it kind of overturns the apple cart on what is 'smart'. It's looking like 'smart' needs the necessity of God and Scriptural Wisdom to even have a hope of being smart. Smart without wisdom and true knowledge is useless.
My sis used to work for the Catholic Church. One of her Masters was religious education. I could go on but honestly I fell sorry for them, itβs divided us siblings to a certain point. Which just breaks my heartβ¦I wonβt even get into the whole vax thing, that was another ridiculous psyop they believed in strongly.
Jenna McCarthy, your Substack this morning is hilarious and so on-target. I was going to provide the link in comments today but you beat me to it. You and Jeff share a snarky streak!
That's why it is no longer called the West Coast but the Worst Coast. Think BC, Washington, Oregon, California. I tend to think it is something in the water of the Pacific or something to do with what is emitting from the Cascadia Fault Line.
Debra, βWorst Coastβ is an excellent description of. We have roots and family ties to rural (southern) Oregon and I always thought weβd retire there. But, now, the political vibes flowing from Portland make it far less appealing.
It's, "within the ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people, and in the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation and their peoples"
There are plenty of American cities that I wouldnβt know the State where theyβre located. Iβm not offended. I AM embarrassed that Karen is a prof at a top Canadian university.
You make assumptions about our knowledge of geography if we don't have the maps app open. :) (And I was _never_ good at geography, even in school. I always claimed that is why we had atlases and maps. :D )
I learned geography and reading a map on family camping trips- one of those trips being to Calgary [Calgary Stampede Rodeo] and Lake Louise. Highly recommend. Of course a long time ago with an atlas.
I will admit I didn't catch it at first, even with the good fortune of having been to BC, AB, SK, ON , MB and NB. I blame it on my lack of caffeine. I was in Cranberry Portage MB fishing in the clear lakes for those good eating walleye and muskie. Jumped in Lake of the Woods, Sioux Narrows ON and that water so cold I could barely dog paddle out to get in a hot shower. 50 years ago. And twenty years ago the drive from Whistler back to Vancouver revealed stunning beauty. Thank God for a farmer Dad who loved to fish or this hick from Alabama wouldn't know geography.
Because Americans who donβt live near the border know nothing about Canadian geography and those who live near the border are probably only familiar with the area near where they live.
Now that's just not true. We know it as that great white mass of land north of America. It's always cold and there are moose drinking maple syrup while playing hockey. :D
As I said, it's the overconfidence that grates, as much as the ignorance. 'Oh Dublin, you say? Is that in the northern part of England or the southern part?'
Oh, if only there was a way to quickly look things up when there is a niggling doubt about something!
Just being honest unless we are at war with a country their geography simply doesnβt matter to us and when we are at war it only vaguely matters. Personally Iβm familiar with Canada only because I live close to Canada. I know Jack all about Mexican geography and donβt care enough to learn about it. So be glad that most Americans are unfamiliar because the moment Americans start to care you can assume you are about to be liberated.
I agree that many people are geographically illiterate but that includes people outside of the US too. Iβve known lots of non Americans who had trouble locating other countries or foreign cities on a map. Iβm kind of an anomaly, I have always been a map lover and interested in geography (my kids are too). I was also fortunate to have had a third grade teacher who taught us the names of the Canadian provinces and so Iβve known their names and locations since I was a child. But lots of people donβt seem to know or care about other parts of the world. If it doesnβt affect them, why bother to learn about it? This seems to be the prevailing attitude.
Things like grammar, geography, and so on ... can be argued to be 'nonessential' like certain businesses were during the height of the C19 terrorism campaign. Although not clearly defined these days, there once was in America a standard education deemed to be the bare essential for getting along in life, being able to communicate and understand things on a basic level. 'They' threw this all out and now look where we are.
The Empire of Lies may as well be called The Stupid Empire. And that is how I think the rest of the non-Western World Monstrosity views us ... at least the thinking portion.
βBehold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessingβ Life forevermore.β
I have a sign that says, "It's hard to coexist with those who want to kill you."
It is but with the help and grace of God we can. The Israelites have done it for thousands of years. They still struggle. We have to take each day as it comes and hope we do our best for God and others.
Hermon, where the angels who sinned made their covenant. A covenant with death. Our Lord and King has dealt with them, definitively. He tarries for the sake of our repentance. He is giving us time! He will make His enemies His footstool. He said His return would be when times were just as in the days of Noah.
He has TOLD us! Watch it happen! He will deliver us, from, through, or into His presence!
I'll see Him in the fiery furnace, or in the clouds. Either way. His will be done.
ERRATA:
β More! That dang Karen. Corrected to Vancouver, British Columbia, not Calgary.
How perfect is that her name is actually Karen?
I think Karen is a misogynistic, racist term like Uncle Tom, aunt jemimah, are now considered racist. Call a spade a spade, βbitchβ is good enough and doesnβt denigrate white middle aged women.
My female dog objects to being used as a pejorative to describe this Karen.
I agree. Dogs are smart and don't deserve being grouped with stupid smart people. I've known many stupid smart people in my day; they didn't go far because computers weren't the norm. We used to say they lacked common sense, like a three-year old toddler that puts his hand out to support himself as he falls headfirst into a pool. Darwin's law used to take care of most of them. Now with seat belts, air bags and propaganda in our schools we're seeing a proliferation of stupid smart people in our country. Eliminate, and get a constitutional amendment preventing, the department of education being a federal bureaucracy and let's get back to work making America great again.
Dogs are our angels on Earth I believe - why they don't live as long - they're here to help guide us along, and then have more work to do in the Heavens when they're gone.
Thanks for this comment. I needed to see this today. I'm getting close to having to release my senior angel. Each day we're closer "the decision". I've called her my angel for years, as she came into my life when I needed (non-judgemental) companionship the most. I keep telling her that her work here is mostly done, and I'll see her again soon enough. ππ
My condolences. I had Indiana Jones for 15 years. Pulled him out of a ditch with a broken leg and a horrible case of mange when he was about two months old. Looked like a black lab and pit bull mix. He never forgot I saved his life on a hot 4th of July.
I felt like he hung in for me to the last minute and I was just heartbroken.
Now I have a rescue named Sadie, likely Black Cur and pit bull. She is fiercely protective and we take care of each other.

They are our angels! One of my dear dogs is most likely the reason that I am still here today to write this. I miss him dearly and the other two I have had as well.
π’π’π’
My Dad had an angel cat. Frank . His nursemaid. We were blessed.
I agree that dogs should live forever but in God's great wisdom how much more do we appreciate them in their short lives.
Spent time this a.m. tracking progress of growth of homeschooling, even WaPo had long article on it, which fact speaks loudly IMO.
Love homeschooling! π is the article on the Washington post behind a pay wall? One positive thing the plandemic done for us was to make homeschooling grow. Also to make everyone question vaccines!
Now I tell my kids, stay away from pokey things! π₯π₯ππ
I love it.
Your dog will certainly take the high road, and learn from those Karens who live in the gutter.
Good one GG!
lmao!
Agree
Mine as well!
The moon and sun are also racist terms. The moon is too white ... and is also privileged because it can reflect white light. And the sun is racist because 'yellow' is a code word for Chinese. So don't say anything bad about the sun.
'Night' is also racist because it gets dark outside. And I don't dare use the word 'night' anymore.
Have you seen the sun lately? It's not yellow anymore...it's bright white...so super raysist
Yes, but! DeWife says that I have no body awareness, or any other kind of awareness. She thinks the sun, at least for me, could quite possibly be lime green with soft rose polka dots. But in thankfulness of your writing to me, I am willing to consider super white with invisible yellow checks.
Actually, the world is so crazy that I am not sure what to think anymore. But I am glad you wrote to me. That was very nice. And because I am totally dyslexic, I really appreciate your spelling! Clever lass you are!
I guess "jigaboo" is out too? π
I guess. And also 'jitterbug'.
Forgive my ignorance, What is a jigaboo and a jitterbug? π€·π½ββοΈ those are a new one on meβ¦ forgive my grammarβ¦ Ughβ¦
One is a derisive term for a black person. And the other is a dance. You can look them up on Dogpile, a really nice search engine. Metager is another one.
But since words no longer mean anything, or else anything you want them to mean, feel free to supply your own definitions. Like 'jitterbug' could mean 'moon', 'minnow' and 'shark' ... and all in the same tadpole pond. See! It's a crazy world and nuthin' makes any sense! (But we still can have fun!)
β₯ Can you vouch for these search engines of which you speak? The yellow duck showed it's true colors on Saturday and I am dumping it forthwith. Good to see you. : )
In my experience Brave Search is also not bad (from the same people behind the Brave browser).
https://search.brave.com
(Although with uncommon searches it sometimes runs out of results and asks if you'd like to fetch results from google or bing - but at least it gives you the choice.)
https://metager.org
https://www.dogpile.com
Nothing is perfect. But I don't use Google because I hate Google for what they have and are doing to us. And for sure Google has been and is waging war on us. And I gave up on DuckDuckGo when I heard them advertising on National Public Radio. At the time, the Duck was already not quacking too well. Maybe they got bought out or somehow coopted?
Dogpile gives generally good information. Metager, which is German based, is useful for more unusual stuff, technical stuff and so on.
These two do the trick for most things I want to know. And being 75 has admittedly lower my demand considerations.
Never the google. They are the devil, probably literally. Just watched Tucker from the Heritage Foundation at the RNC. It was really good and says just what I think. Here is the link in case you want a good watch. Thanks for the info! https://www.youtube.com/live/LhibtsGTB2I
Yandex has been working great as a search engine. Such a huge difference in what appears when I do a side by side search on Google then identical search on Yandex.
What about the ace of spades?

There is no such thing as racist or misogyny. These are Bolshevik terms that have no basis in reality. Itβs not unlike the patriarchy or extreme Whiteness. This is the language of our enemy and anyone who uses it is my enemy.

Have you seriously never met a rascist or a misogynist? Or are you speaking tongue-in-cheek and forgot to mention that?

The assassination attempt? Absolutely.
The βladderβ the murderer used appears in one photo to be built into the building. I cannot find the link now. Has anyone seen that?
I hadn't seen that; I'm sure further info can confirm or deny it soon. It would explain why it wasn't "noticed" beforehand. (Though it doesn't explain why there isn't a gate/lock on it, like there normally is on roof ladders, if for no other reason than liability if some kid climbs up and breaks their leg.)
Although, I've heard reports that the shooter got there by crossing several roofs until he reached the closest one, so I'm not sure if he actually used that ladder anyway.

Oh come on Kelli, isnβt there enough hate?
I love the tagline on your profile. "One of the good Karens." You Rock! That's awesome.... :-)
I agree wholeheartedly. Isnβt it tiresome to always have your name thrown around as a pejorative attack?
Sort of how it was hard growing up as a blonde during the era of dumb blonde jokes. That was very, very tiresome for me. No amount of my intelligence ever overcame it. π
Try growing up short !! I tried changing the color of my hair ..... but I couldn't fool anyone .
I still get left holding that end of the stick ........
I feel for all Karenβs born blonde and short. π€£π€£ Poor dears. The social trifecta
Ca,iforia, a CHP officer pulled over a car because h hought a young child was driving i. He discovered the driver was not a young child, but an adult woman whose driving licence listed her height as four foot five. (I know seven year olds taller than that). She was it turned out, a legal immigrant from the highlands of Guatemala. I have seem these people and they are, in general, VERY short.
Not satisfied with being foiled at arresting a ten year old whilst driving, he cited her for NOT using a "child seat booster"as required by law for "children" under the age of twelve who are shorter than some arbitrary number. She was smart/stubborn enough to appear in court. The judge threw it out. Don't remembr what the judge said to the copper.. he SHOULD have cleaned his closk.
Then there is the kid my Dad remembered from his high school years.... he was "six foot sixteen". Star basketball player on the small school's team.

Hey I honestly think Karen is a way better name than Becki which has also been thrown around as pejorative for white women. Call me Karen Iβll just roll my eyes and say okay now I DO want to talk to your manager. But call me Becci or Becky or whatever and I just might throat punch a b****. Lol! But (of course) I have an annoying cousin named Becky that I canβt stand so thereβs that. My stepsister (Karin may she rest in peace) would be horrified at the awful use of her name, despite the fact that she probably would have embodied it, and Iβm glad she didnβt have to endure it during her much too short but fairly miserable life.
First I've ever heard of Becky being a bad thing although my sweet mama never allowed anyone to call me that. She didn't give me a middle name- thought that was sufficient. The Beckadee is what my Aunt called me. Must be a northern thing. ha
I actually love the name Rebecca I think itβs lovely and has dignity. Itβs the Becky that I think sounds dumb as hell. Your mom sounds like a great lady. π. My husband is Martin. Never call him Marty unless you want an enemy for life. π. Another dumbass nickname that should never have been. Beckadee is an awesome nickname. Like chickadee which I call people all the time.
I love honestyβ¦
I'm so sorry your name has been turned into a slur. My maiden name was an old fashioned term in the UK for an idiot. I feel your pain.
I asked Siri and he came up with a ton of words for idiot. Dang, sorry about that. Itβs harder when youβre a kid.
In a book from the late 1800βs that I read a few years ago, described that many parents named their daughters Karen because the name sounded like caring and they wanted to bless future generations of their families with caring women.
That is so cool, I hadnβt thought about Karen in that way. Duh βΊοΈ
Itβs a derivative of Katherine and thereβs a long line of them in history of course, and in my family.
Wow! Thatβs wonderful. What a beautiful legacy.
Her mailbox is full.
That is hilarious!!! Yay!!!
Seriously, people! Are there any Jesus followers here? Comment on her hair? For heaven's sake.
Love your enemies! Bless those who harm you.
Me? I will pray for Karen. The shame she must feel for overreacting to her emotions must be overwhelming. And now you want to publicly throw dirt on her?
Who among you is without sin?
Jeff, I appeal to you, kindly please remove her personal contact information and pray for her. In Jesus' Name.
You are right Jana that making fun of her is no way to act either. But I do feel that those who are in a position such as hers need to be held accountable for their words and actions. There is not one single person that is without sin and cannot cast stones. We have a couple of generations that place blame on everyone but themselves for their own actions and these same people have not filters on their mouths or their minds and their minds. They have never been taught there are consequences to pay. Personally, when I was young, I had to grow a tough skin because there was a "bra" in my name and the boys were relentless. Plus, I was a freckled red head. One of my favorite scriptures when I first came to the Lord almost 50 years ago was when Jesus said that I would be persecuted just as he was persecuted but I was to endure till the end. I am sorry that my words offended you.
Accountability is important. We should "judge" people in that regard, as well as be willing to be "judged" (corrected) ourselves when we go wrong.
Emailed too.
Darnβ¦ I was going to email herβ¦ Jeff needs to put more emails and phone numbers in his articles so we can βdo our partβ with these peopleβ¦ as Michael the Archangel said, βThe Lord rebuke youβ¦β Jude 1:9
If that is her real name!
That was my comment in my email to her.π€£
And a "pinder" used to mean someone who would impound stray cattle as during the middle ages there was rampant theft of livestock - as we're seeing now with more "cattle" waking up reality.
Pinder isn't doing a good job anymore, is she? Too many awake cattle.
Iβm concerned that there will be a cover up by the FBI. I donβt buy this business about not being able to access the assassinβs phone, which is vital to the investigation. There are reports that bomb making materials were found at the home, and an explosive device in his car at the scene. The father bought the gun, which doesnβt necessarily mean anything, but whatβs going on with the family? Who are they? The guy was living at home, not on his own. Itβs far too soon to determine that he is a lone wolf.
Unfortunately today those who are "Educated Beyond Their Intelligence" are like vermin. Far too many of them and the STENCH! Gag reflex.....
As I come to think of it, I only personally know 3 ladies named Karen and all 3 are very liberal. I wonder?????
My ex-wife's name was Karen, and she was deeply, emotionally, ideologically a hard core liberal.
Too broad a brush. My best friend of over 30 years is named Karen, and she's not a liberal nor is she inclined to wish ill on anyone. She does, however, cringe every time she has to give her first name.
it is amazing how trump triggers the extreme mentally ill, unstable---the corrupt politicians and SCREAMING KARENS. While he attracts the truth seeking hardworking God fearing, honest-leaning generous ppl of the world. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear....
Speaking of which (eyes to see and ears that hear)β¦β¦the Biblical symbolism of blood on the right ear and tight thumbβ¦β¦and the right toe. Did you know he lost his shoes when he went down? I would love to know if he had blood on his right big toe.
Read Exodus 29:20
The blood sprinkled ear must be always willing to hear Godβs Word; the blood sprinkled thumb on the right hand symbolizes hands that are ever ready to do Godβs will; and the blood-sprinkled toe is a symbol of feet ever committed to walk in the Way of righteousness and truth
When he went down, those who could see him said his lips were moving and it appeared he was praying. And what I saw when he got up, was a changed man. With his face on that platform, imho, he had an experience with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I saw something in his face I had never seen before. Humility.
I saw grit! Exodus 29:20. I have not seen that before, or never put it in context. As always, the Bible doesn't have an expiration date!
Donald Trump stood up, with such a look of grit and determination, as we've not seen. Oh, we saw his drive and energy, and how much he cares - but that grit, that force!
He arose with a determination that shows a man of strength and character that melts all the silly words the msm concocted.
God bless Donald Trump. God bless those who lost their loved one, and those injured. May the God of love and vengeance (for we know God says vengeance is Mine) be among us as we move through these times.
I think he actually had a spiritual experience on that floor. An encounter.
The blood on the right thumb, the right ear and the right toe is a sign of anointing.
He is still a man. Still flawed, like me. But the symbolism of that blood place in the exact way is a sign to those, as the original comment on this thread posted βlet him who has eyes that see and ears that hearβ.
There will be those who will scoff at this. But what happened had to happen. To prove that the Hand of the Almighty is upon him.
Those who are against him better be carefulβ¦.βTouch not My anointedβ¦β¦β
I agree with all you said.
Maybe some people on here can at least recognize heβs a very unique and talented individual.
Some of what is said seems to come from a deep place of envy and jealousy and revulsion.
Iβm disappointed to see that on here.
But given the number of people on here yesterday, who didnβt seem to get Jeffβs reference to βthe shot heard round the worldβ, I blame it on the public school system.
I spent this last weekend helping to teach more than a dozen people how to become better skilled at arms,and about the events and individuals that stood up and MADE A DIFFERENCE on 10 April 1775, the day "the shot hard round the world" (along with a few thousand that followed that shot) was fired.
Donald Trump's response to the attempt upn his life is very like those w"well-regulated" men (and a handful of women) who rose to the need toat day. Taking no thought for their own "safety" or "comfort" they awoke in the wee hours, mustered out, and marched half the night to stand against the tyrants determined to further subjugate them. They stood firm and said NO.
It took almost another ten years to finally convince The King's Best that they would NEVER prevail against the true Sons of Liberty. And this nation was born out of that.
One of them later declared that the tree of liberty would ned watering from time to time with the blood of patriots.
That time is ow THIS time... there will be more blood to water that Tree in the coming months. But if I did not believe WE will prevail I'd ship off to some remote corner of this big dirtball and hibernate somewhere else.
Willing Spirit, I wonder if he had his Jacob moment of βwrestlingβ β¦..and thank God DJT didnβt winβ¦β¦.God did.
Did you see the video from April 8 where a prophet said this exact thing would happen to Trump? Amazing!!
He also mentioned it would cause in him a spiritual awakening.
I did. I have only seen where he said he prophesied it 3 months ago. Iβm VERY wary of todayβs βprophetsβ.
(People say that Joseph should have kept his mouth shut about his dreams, because he came off as spoiled. I posit that he HAD TO TELL his dreams, so that his brothers would remember. If he had told them βafter the dream came true, they could have said βOf course youβre saying that now!β β¦.. soβ¦.. Iβm very, very wary.)
I found the original one from April 8. They are mainly talking about the eclipses. Itβs the full video and this particular section is at minute 11.
YouTube?

Thank you so much!!!!

Grit and humility. What an amazing combination!!!!!!
I think any of us who have seen death pass right before our eyes (or ears) we become a very humble pile of dust.
β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ Yes
Did you see the video clip of the fellow who allegedly predicted back in March that Trump would be shot in the ear and have a deeply religious experience? I don't know if it is legitimate or not but it appears to be.
Hereβs a link.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/christian-prophesied-precise-detail-3-months-ago-trump/
It's a limited enough amount of detail that it COULD be a coincidence (and the guy says "busted his eardrum" which as far as we know didn't happen, but he may have misspoken). On the other hand, I'm not prepared to rule it out either - I sure hope the prophecy's consequence (Trump having a genuine born-again experience) does/did indeed happen.
I did. See my answer to PEL above
THAT's what it was! I saw it in his eyes mili-seconds before he dropped. I thought it was shock, but that wasn't really the right word.
Yes! Humility. Thanks for using that word!
I had the thought that he saw his life flash before his eyes and seeing, yes indeed they want me dead. And then that sense of humility that you are but a mortal man and can be taken out.
You can here in the video him telling the agents he needs to get his shoes. That photo taken when his face is inches from the floor is powerful!
I did not see this photo
I can believe that The LORD has been a long time drawing him to Himself. HE chose this man for His purpose, WILL.. Spiritually a mix of Paul and Peter.
This is an interesting insight. Possibly.
However I was sad to hear his position in abortion. I get a βrationaleβ for that but a believer believes all life is ordained by God and is precious in his site. Even a child from incest or rape.
Strange, I thought I saw the same.
Have you seen this prophecy from 3 months ago?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/christian-prophesied-precise-detail-3-months-ago-trump/
I did. See my reply to PEL above.
That is pretty profound. Never noticed that scripture. I watched RNC tonight and he was moved to tears and seemed quite humble in facial expression anyway.
the man DJT is open and being led by God Almighty Himself!
He's a lightning rod for all those who flail around in fear and have no God to turn to.
No one man can save us. ( except Jesus Christ)
Stop already! I am sick of the implication that Iβm worshipping Donald Trump.
Only God can save us. But He knows how to pick His hands for the work.
Iβll say it again. Donald Trump is a mighty weapon in the hands of God.
If he is anointed by the Almighty God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob he can!
I can name a few
Noah
Joseph
Moses
Joshua and Caleb
King Cyrus
King David
I need more time In my Bible reading, thanks!
Autoimmune stuff messes with my memory. Gid did hook me up with a real doctor a few years ago. So thankful. But I digress.
Mine too. Mine too.
You donβt think he saved you, do you? Oh, you think maybe God used him?
Imagine that!
Who are these people, who continuously cast doubt?
You make me realize the triggered left are probably mostly on psych medications due to mental illness, if just fear, but get this, the bottle of their "anxiety-calming" medication ironically says "may cause violence"
one of my past best friends jumped from pastor husb + 2 kids, at time they were 10 &12 to a lesbian relationship 30 yrs ago....she is the most hate filled rage infected man hating trump derranged person I've ever seen! I saw her on twitter over the last year...she spends her days bashing trump and anything godly. And YES she was molested by a man across street when she was young and by her cousins. I struggled with homo BS until 40...IT IS nurture and abuse...not nature I can vouch...do not believe the BS. Only Gods healing can get you out of those places of hate and unforgiveness.
OH MY GOSH! You are right...and ALL of the mass shooters(sandy hook etal..) are on psych meds and so many in the tranz self hatred sexual challenged camp. Why do the CIA groom tranz mentally ill to be their stooges?
MKUltra.
Watch the movie βManchurian candidateβ. The CIA drugs and hypnotizes vulnerable people to do their dirty work.
I think an incredible number of people are on something. Imagine a crisis with a huge supply chain failure. Most of our pharmaceuticals appear to come from China.
Imagine these people cold turkey withdrawing from all these substances.
they will self destruct...no doubt, they have no root, no hope to cling to...only anyone around them willing to listen and help.
I wish he would stop doing the rallies - I always thought they were unsafe. He's so popular he'll be fine if he just sits them out.
They feel like the happiest, friendliest place on earth. They are so powerful, when you see there are so many more of us than them.
And now, Iβm sure they will be very safe. Those big men you saw who spotted the evil creep will be doing their own surveillance from now on. Thereβs plenty of time for it, since most people arrive hours before the event.
My first instinct after the shooting was to tell him to just do rallies by zoom or something! But you are right, the rallies are so wonderful to attend in person! The camaraderie and friendships that are made there are second to none! Maybe they should put a bulletproof plexiglass cube around him or something?
As a veteran, after living through eight years of Obama and the divisiveness, I remember feeling so happy to see people proud to be American again! When that Lee Greenwood song is played, and everyone is standing together and pledging to the flag it feels like a celebration of Unity. God Bless America πΊπΈ
Could not agree more.
There are undoubtedly many police, fire fighters, ex-military and even current military who attend these rallies. Going forward I hope they join together to do their own surveillance at the events.
And a bunch of those Ultimate Fight Championship participants!
Where thereβs a will, thereβs a way!
That wouldnt be him. The Kennedys nor MLK were hiders, nor Regan.
No. He shouldnβt. He is covered.
He isnβt going to stop.
I dont see how they can safely have any rally now?
Are they greater than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
great idea
I actually don't think Trump triggers the mentally ill and unstable. They are triggered because of the all the propaganda by the MSM and the party that controls them. Most of what people believe about DJT isn't true. They have made an effigy out of the propaganda, and they are ready to destroy that.
when the demon possessed hear truth they scream and nash their teeth...maybe I should say the politicians and MSM who disseminate what trump says are triggering the masses. Honestly, what difference does it make? the vagina heads from 7.5 yrs ago were the original screaming karens...they choose what to be triggered by don't they? Regardless if it is given to them by whoopie and THE VIEW who're also mentally ill--WOKE? Liars are drawn to liars....mentally ill are drawn to other mentally ill commenters. I have incredible past friends who are brilliant educated loving folk who have never turned off CNN in 20 yrs! So who is at fault for what they believe? It makes me wary of anything they believe...not saying I'm a prophet but I sure as hell can see truth when I hear it.
Goodness, terrifies demons
Thereβs plenty on this site who get triggered.
And I note that people on this site want to talk about almost anything besides President Trump. And if something is said, three quarters of it is extremely negative.
Iβm happy to see what Jeff had to say about DJT this morning. But I bet a lot of regulars on here are having to go to their safe places and hug their teddy bears.
All public universities in Canada are controlled by the Satanic global capitalist class, so "no worries," as they would say.
What horrifies ME more is the fact that (from her brief bio there) sheβs teaching DOCTORS her awful bull$)*! Letβs hope maybe her moment of internet fame will put a stop to that.
Let's hope - it's a sick system all the way to its psychological core, eh?
All the way to its demonic core
And she was taught (indoctrinated) by someone before her. The corruption of academia goes way back. And it trickles all the way down to preschools now.
UBC probably just granted her tenure.
Agreed Diana - however when they say no worries, all the subconscious hears is "worries" why I like to say "always remember" instead of never forget.
I, for one, found it amusing that University of British Columbia was located in Alberta.
I was scratching my head, but figured there may be a satellite. In another university town. In another province.
Need more coffee...
Yes I thought of that also right when I sent that response. I agree
Ha. Good point
Glad to know you are human! Great Substack today
Agreed!
That Karen gets around like Waldo. She was also seen on a grassy knoll in Dallas and toting a ladder in PA.
Maybe she is an AI creation to get us all riled up
Hmmmmβ¦.
Well, I sent her an email, congratulating her for the classy manner in which she got her 15 minutes of fame.
And I called her number, but her mailbox was full.
None of that means sheβs real.
Spit coffee out my nose on that one. π€£π€£π
π
I get weekly emails from UBC asking for money, or to be included in my will, etc.
Can we get this story widely circulated?
Sounds like you need to be contacting them ASAP and demanding she resign.
who is ubc?
That Karen is a wily character...
yeah, you really had me going there. Thanks. Thought I was going crazy.
Ha ha ha. Give it up. Sheβs not worth the effort. π
Thanks, I was gaslite for a moment ππ
Sheβs looking like a hot potato. I am expecting to read in the morning that she has been disavowed by Canada altogether. Maybe sheβs at the vanguard of a new category of homelessness: consequential ostracism.
Sounds like we are both on the Worst Coast Patti!
After July 13, 2024, there can be no doubt God exists. If Trump had not tilted his head at the right angle at the right second, he would be dead today and America in flames. God saved President Donald J. Trump and America.
Pray for Corey and his family.
God sends His angels π to help us at the right time, though we may not discern them.
( Example:When my son was a toddler, I was feeding him in his high chair and our floor was unpolished hard tile. For one minute I got up to get something a foot away. He got very antsy and instantly was in a position of literally falling head first unto the floor. I felt time stop long enough for me to catch him. It defied time. I knew that it had to be an angel that stopped his fall).
God intervenes in so many ways from Heaven. Thank you God! π π
We too had a firsthand experience with the existence of Angels. A few years ago our sonβs car broke down on a busy expressway where cars were going impossibly fast (75-80 mph) on both sides of the chevroned median he safely pulled over to while waiting for a tow truck. Some woman who was impatient with the fast moving merge lane chose to drive in the median area to bypass everyone in front of her. My sonβs car engine was off, and so was his seatbelt because he had just gotten back inside after taking a picture of the surrounding area for the tow truck driver to find him. His hazards were on, but she rear ended him traveling 75 mph. It threw him and his car forward the entire 425ft length of the chevroned median area. His car came to a stop at the very tip end where cars on both sides whizzed past within inches of each door.
Paramedics and firemen said he should have been catapulted through his windshield and not be alive. They said the chances of any car traveling an exact, geometrically straight line like that for that distance without veering to one side or the other into traffic was nothing short of a miracle. Our son was shaken, but walked away with only a cut on his forehead. I wholeheartedly believe angels were on both sides of his car that day guiding it safely. Thereβs just no way you could recreate what happened even if you tried, not without CGI. β€οΈπ We thank God every day for sparing his life.
I love these evidences. My friend and another computer guy were waiting in a Sam Trans commute line at rush hour in SF, they got a call from someone at work to come immediately, and after they left a rogue bus that had lost its brakes plowed through the line of waiting commuters, killing and injuring them.
Amazing story! <shivers>
Oh wow! What a blessing that he was protected from harm!

Thank you! Recently my cat was attacked by a feral Tom cat and I ran after them as they tumbled down the uneven stone steps of the apartment complex, down a hill, no handrails, nothing. I flew down the steps , did not trip or fall, miraculously. I am sure angels were holding me up. My cat was injured but is fine now.
Cuddle that cat!
Happy that you are both fine! ππ

What is the feline gestation period?
Two Tom cats.
Your story is amazing! Yes, angels are among us π―
So are the fallen angels. 1/3 of them were cast down from heaven. Prowling like lions like their leader. Stay aware; pray constantly. Love God and your neighbor.
Because of 2 Peter 2:4 I think we are seeing the work of demons vs fallen angels. But, definitely we are to do all you mentioned for the battle is real.
Oh, I believe the fallen angels ARE the demons. If people believe in angels they have to realize that demons are real, too. I agree we are seeing work that is being supported by demons.
The demons are the spirits of the Nephillim. And I agree. Fallen angels are among us. Demons donβt have the power of angels. And the battle is harder than it has ever been, at least for me. Iβm not sure that the angels held in captivity have yet been loosed. But I think itβs possible. The battle is going to get harder. Better put on the armor of Godβ¦β¦.HIS WORD!!
This is true. Both are
When my father was dying in 1989, my firefighter brother was working and living about 175 miles away from the hospital where our father was. He was driving down to the hospital but was tired and fell asleep at the wheel. Something jerked him out of his sleep and he was about to drive off the road but was able to catch it in time, and for some reason he glanced at the car's clock. It was 2:54 p.m. He later found out our father died at exactly 2:54 p.m.
Wow
In 1990, I was in a big ole Crown Victoria station wagon with my husband and four children. He was driving the New Jersey Turnpike, where the speed limit must have been 95. It was raining and it was rush hour traffic. We were small town Floridians visiting relatives and clueless.
My husband started to exit and then quickly changed his mind. All I know is he pulled directly into the path of a large white van that could not possibly have missed us. I had the distinct impression that it just went right through us.
I knew we should all have been dead. The van driver ended up beside us an let us know that whatever he had experienced, he was most unhappy about it.
I was protected numerous times while being gang stalked, got me much closer to Jesus.
Amen Angela!
I commented somewhere a while back, maybe a year ago, that I felt Trump was here because he had an historically pivotal role to play. In something. I was vilified, as a βTrump loverβ which is funny, because Trump wasnβt my preference in the primaries (I love the policy nerd that is Desantis), although Iβm 100% behind him now. After the shooting Saturday, I am more convinced than ever that Trump is here, right now, doing what heβs doing, for a reason. Personally, I believe itβs a God thing... He has used many flawed men to advance his kingdom over the course of history. Whatever his role is, though, it will be pivotal. And not just to the US.
Nard, having lost my son at the young age of 32 to a very rare cancer, I have come to understand that God has numbered each one of our days for His reasons we can not understand. In my understanding, God should have left him longer on this earth. He was a much loved Pastor, husband and father to two young children. However, in the 7 years since his passing I have come to a greater understanding of God's sovereignty. It sounded like Corey knew the Lord and we can be comforted that he is with Him now. I have no doubt that God protected our former president.
Yesterday, when I first saw his name given, when I read that he had thrown his wife and daughter on the ground and lain on top of them to protect them, taking the bullet which killed him, I prayed for his soul. And I felt shivers go over my arms and legs for a couplr of minutes, the Holy Spirit answering my prayer. Then twice more yesterday when I saw him mentioned. I wish he were still with his family, but I know he is happy in Heaven now. I made a small donation to the Go Fund Me, thanks for the link! Super article today!
π
Cia, check out the GoFundMe page. Its $4.5 million now!!
Camille, your answer to that comment comes from the wisdom gained from your tragic experience. God has blessed you with the peace that passes understanding.. Those who have no relationship with God never understand the concept of Godβs sovereignty and yesβ¦ goodness.
βAnd we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.β
ββRomansβ¬ β8β¬:β28β¬ βESVβ¬β¬
So many reject this statement that ALL things work for good, because they are missing the caveat partβ¦βfor those who love Godβ.
Remember the old phrase, βonly the good die youngβ? Iβve known of many very good people who died young. I tend to think that they finished the race early, they did all that God put them on this earth to accomplish and got to go home early.
Validation, Freebird. Christ called my big sister home very soon after her youngest graduated high school. She was a happy, vibrant, busy, God-fearing woman directing music on Christmas Eve when she had a massive brain hemorrhage, stepped outside the church, and never regained consciousnessβhere on earth anyway. Iβve wondered why He would take such a blessing from us. The answer came to me, βShe faithfully accomplished what I asked her to do. I want to reward her.β
Iβm so sorry for your loss. This knowledge doesnβt diminish our grief at the loss of a loved one, but it does bring us peace. And what comfort we have in knowing Christ, for our families and ourselves! I often wonder how people without that faith cope with those losses.
Thank you. Years before he died, Dad told his grandkids, βNo tears at my funeral! Iβll be gone to heaven, and I want you to say, βHooray for Papa!ββ They honored his request. I mourn for survivors and pray for their peace, but we all know mortal death is a Christianβs victory. βTo die is gainβ (Philippians 1:21). My favorite funeral hymn: βFor all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Allelujah!β
I love that hymn, I may add it to my list! My other favorite funeral hymn is. Be Still my Soul , the last verse is especially beautifulβ¦
Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
God Bless you friend!
Oh my goodness! That takes me back 55 years to dinner waiting on the table, Dad on his way home from work, and Mom patiently playing the piano. Happened at least once a week for many years. Thank you, and blessings to you!
That was sung at my dearest Pastor's funeral by an enormous choir compromised of members from numerous churches and the local Synagogue. I sang along, as did many in the congregation, because I learned it in choir at the hyper-liberal school I attended... That was back in the early 70s, before they vanished any songs that proclaimed Christ and all things associated... It was glorious! We sang him into heaven!
One of my favorites also.
Long years ago, I was providing daycare to a toddler and, after school care to his sister, in kindergarten with my middle child. A Jewish family. Little girl's grandmother died, mother, as she confided to me, went to library to get a book which would explain this to child. I was taken aback, and so sad.
How about the classic statement by Joseph βwhat you meant for evil God used for good!β
Freebird, indeed. I have come to understand many things. Including what it means to have the "joy of the Lord", no matter what happens to you in your life. When you have a biblical perspective that changes EVERYTHING.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
And what a privilege that God gave you such a wonderful son!
For sure- all reports are that Corey loved the Lord and was a godly man. Read his daughters tribute to him!
People who reject God (or have never studied Scripture) aggressively reject the concept that God could be using Trump.
Those who hate Trump also reject that concept.
Rejection of God and/or ignorance of Him got us to where we are today.
But God can get us out. And the God who came to us not as a rich ruler but as a child born to a peasant girl uses very unexpected methods indeed.
Very true. God used the Pharoah in Egypt without changing his heart. Trump is not invincible and must still be protected. Lowering the temperature of debate is not weakness. It takes more energy to hold our tongues. We must firstly, as brothers and sisters in Christ, share the Gospel, right? Increase faith and make people wonder why we're different and what we know so they will be encouraged to take the same path. I'm not saying I'm perfect in this manner; I fail way to often. I wish only to remind myself and other brothers and sisters what's really important. God bless everyone! Even Joe Biden, that man that is a slave to pride and arrogance and blinded from knowing his faults. Poor guy. He hasn't a chance to make it with his unrepentant heart.
And consider the number of times Pharaoh was just about to give in, when his heart was hardened yet again.
Well said.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can also get us βthroughβ.
We pray that He will get us βoutβ, but since we have been complicit in the sins committed by our own government through our very silence, I have a feeling we will have to go THROUGH some hard times, just as Israel did in the wilderness, just as the three Hebrew children going through the fire. But HE will be with us. May He Who wrestled with Jacob wrestle us and may HE win!!!!
I wish I could β€οΈ love this a thousand time. He is always with us β¦ he helps handle what we are given. We can do anything through him.
Just deserts for going along to get along.
I just ordered a book called The Fourth Turning is Here. Might be something you'd wanna read. (I have NO idea if it's a good book or not. It just sounds like it's on the same wavelength you are.)
Yes, very well said. π
Type in 'Hermit of Loreto youtube' and listen to the 8-minute video from the priest that gave compelling evidence, in early 2017, that DJT has been sent to bring America back to God.

Verry interesting! Tom may have very well been a saint.
What an amazing video. Thank you for posting it. Also amazing was Melaniaβs response to the assasination attempt. What a beautiful soul.
Whereas Jill was on The View, telling all that the choice was between her husband, kind, good, loving truthful ,of integrity, and the other one--evil. Saw it b/c a young man was there, his jaw dropping as she proceeded through her encomium, then proceeded to filet her. Figuratively. (felt need to add that disclaimer, as Dems speak such words w. literal meaning).
Thank you for sharing! Goosebumps!
Your last note has shown up in several comments in past 36 hrs. I think of Aaron, Saul, David, Solomon.....yet God chose them for His work.
Ahab, Jezebel, Goliath, Herod, Pontius Pilate . . . Makes no difference. God has a plan, and everybody has a role to play.
Moses murdered a man. Yet the God of Israel used Moses to lead a nation.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound.
Never mind David's many sins!! :) A man after God's own heart.
last point
My last note?
Valerie, I think you would enjoy Lance Wallnau's book, "God's Chaos Candidate". Lance is a well respected prophetic voice in the church and makes a case that Trump is like King Cyrus in Isaiah 45 (?) who released the captive Hebrews from Babylonia to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and paid for it out of his treasury. He declared he believed in the Hebrew's God.
And am struck by fact that Jonah was sent to Ninevah--Assyria! Those are Gentiles! And their king took the warning so seriously that he ordered a 3-day dry fast (in that climate?) for humans and their animals as well. Averted God's wrath.
We are all flawed arenβt we?! That is our sin.
The book of Judges (and indeed, much of the Old Testament) is full of stories about very imperfect people that God appointed βfor such a time as this.β
I absolutely agree. It is a God thing,
Definitely!
Y'all note that the shooter fired at 6:11 PM
What familiar Bible verse bears the number 6:11?
Ephesians, "Put on the full armor of God".
There are no coincidences.
Followed by Ephesians 6:12, my favorite:
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
Which verse neatly contains your own great concerns--"those mighty powers". Is this in your mind as well?
There is a YouTuber, Melanie King, who has a photo from TikTok@wardeadpool that shows a bullet hole in Trump's upper right side. The suggestion is that the bullet was stopped by a bulletproof vest. Has anyone else seen anything on this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMFDnLo6HJ4
I saw a reported pic of dead shooter. His ear was crenellated and he had a repaired earlobe. Not the same ear as the photo of Crooks. ???
Ok, so this is weird, my husband saw a video of the shooter, supposedly AFTER the shooting, him saying that they "got the wrong man" ????? Anyone collaborate or elaborate on this??? I thought that was extremely weird!!!
I saw that, too. And the woman seated right behind DJT. Someone also gave the order to pull some SS to cover Jill Biden, who was campaigning in PA.
Yesterday 7/15 WH pooh-poohed this claim; today 7/16 it comes out as true.
The you tube Melanie king addresses that guy as a troll
I saw it
What did you make of that, was it legit?? I just saw it briefly, not the whole thing, but thought it freaky
It was really weird. Definitely looked like the pics Iβve seen of the shooter, but who knows?
Look into Maxwell Yearick. Antifa. Arrested at Trump rally in 2017 for assaulting police. From Pittsburgh.
Right? Heβs possibly the real shooter.
Fake idiot troller. Look at Melanie Kingβs video posted above. The bullet hole in his jacket was news to me. He was clearly wearing body armor.
"repaired", as in formerly holding a gauge?
Yes. Hole repaired and left scar.
Thank you. Noticing the growth of this βbeautyβ procedure in my middle/high school, 2007 into teens, then almost of a sudden, it stoppedβI figured there would a lot of nice cars and $$$ vacations for cosmetic surgeons in the future. Same for tatts.
Interesting. And interesting that a coordinated effort existed not to let people even listen to the news. Truth adds up. This doesn't.
Yes, and the leaked instructions to the media about how to minimize the whole thing, incident, not assassination attempt, no appearance of gravity or βlong facesβ. It was all spelled out how it was to be handled by the media. Ya know, this is no different than the old USSR. But itβs so hard now to achieve their desired results due to the internet, ubiquitous phone cameras etc. they try but canβt put a lid on everything. COVID demonstrated that.
I've been saying for at least 10 years that we're living in the old USSR. Now I realize how accurate I was!
I told my husband he has a new hole for an earring now, he should have a bullet made into an earring and wear that! LOL
not such a bad biz idea, tbh
My exact statement last night except we offered a few less tasteful options.
Wouldn't that be amazing! But then he'd have to get both ears pierced because the right ear means he's gay (at least that's what it used to mean in the 90s)
I remember that, but don't think he wants to go through that process again, should just stick to the one as a memento.
His security team had recently asked him to start wearing a Kevlar vest. Saved his life.
I saw the hole in his jacket.
βYou saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fearβ (Deuteronomy 7:19).
I saw the image on X. It looks like a bullet hole. But photoshop is an amazing thing.
There are no coincidences. And, did this begin in Genesis? Genesis 6:11 says "Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence." A warning shot rang out and reminds us to fight the evil around us and get back to God.
Once again. Let those who have ears, hear.
whoa Roger...ain't that something. good catch
Maybe God gave us all cellphones for a reason....after all?
If it wasn't for cellphone videos this case would've been "solved" yesterday.
Anything can be used for good or for evil.
Truth
I do believe God exists, but I cannot comprehend God sacrificing a good man for the sake of another. If God saved Trump, why not save Corey Comperatore? Iβm glad Trump survived, but Iβm not convinced it was an act of God.
After reading what the man's daughter wrote about him, I have no doubt he is in heaven with the Lord now. The man gave his life for his family.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down oneβs life for oneβs friends.
β€οΈ
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5
That is the bedrock of Christianity
Because of our sin we all deserve death. But God, in His perfect love for us made a way to redeem us. It is all His doing. To God be the glory π
Beautiful β€οΈπ
No one knows the time or the hour. Only God, for His own reasons.
God acted the other night. It is clear as day to me.
We were one bullet away from losing our republic.
Hi Nard, that is a great question, and we can turn to the Bible for help. The Bible provides several insights that can help us understand this difficult issue.
Death entered the world through Adam's sin, not through God's original design (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12). We live in a fallen world where death, disease, and suffering are present because of humanity's collective sin. This means that the tragedies we experience are a result of living in a broken world, not a direct act of God.
God is not the author of calamity but rather our Comforter in the midst of it (John 14:26). He promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). While we may not understand why certain events happen, we can trust that God is with us, providing comfort and strength during our times of grief.
It is important to remember that believers are not under God's wrath or judgment (Romans 5:9; John 5:24). Jesus' death on the cross was the full punishment for our sins, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). This means that God is not punishing us or our loved ones through death or suffering.
Our hope as Christians is not in this life but in the eternal life we have in Christ (Colossians 3:1-4). Jesus promises us that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). The assurance of eternal life with God provides us with hope and comfort, even in the face of loss.
Though we do not have all the answers to why specific tragedies occur, we can trust in God's goodness, His presence with us, and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. βοΈβ€οΈ
Thank you for this. I had been feeling like God was punishing me for something since 2020 with everything that had happened in my life and to family and friends. A little while ago I suddenly came to the understanding that it wasnβt all about me and that the reasons for my loved ones dying when they did likely had more to do with them, their needs, and with the situation in the world at large, than with meβeven though I was suffering the consequences. And so your reminder that whatever happens to us in this world, that is not what we need to focus on, is very timely. I need to keep in mind that eternal life, not this fallen world, is what my sights should always be on.
Oh no, our loved ones dying is never God's punishment. Death was never God's plan for the world. But He uses it, and the greatest mystery of all is that he chose to experience it himself as Christ, turning the most horrible of things into the greatest demonstration of his love for us.
I too have lost loved ones, but I know that God loves them even more than I do. I do not believe God wanted my daughter to suffer and die from cancer (her death was caused by negligent doctors and is on them not God; he allows us free will after all, and that means people are free to be criminally negligent). I do believe He knew she would die this way and provided so many graces including the timing of her death. He loves her so much more than I; I am just beginning to see that now. Grief is a journey and a long and winding one. Be patient with yourself through it. ππ
I guess it just felt like a lot to go through, and even though I knew on an intellectual level that it wasnβt punishment, it sure felt like it π At first I just thought, God is trying to teach me something through this, but then came to the realization that whatever I learn is not necessarily the reason for these things happening, but more simply an effect, if that makes any sense.
Amen RL. That focus will also help when things get tumultuous and stressful here. This is not our home ! Eternity is what matters
I needed the reminder myself! β€οΈ
Hugs
Thank you β€οΈ
And, "whom God loves, He chastens" as I ( having just returned from hospital 6/29 , with a splint on shattered radius) responded to grandson who asked, "Why does Grandma have so many accidents?"

What an excellent answer!
I follow pastor Dr. Andrew Farley, who has a wonderful, purely Biblical grace message that surprises most Christians. Most of us don't realize we can rest in Jesus and stop trying to out-best everyone else with our good works. Check him out!

All the answers to those questions remain elusive this side of heaven. No way our finite minds can comprehend Godβs ways. But, we do know that God is in control and has a plan to work things out for good for His glory. Our part is to trust, to be faithful and to obey.
Just like Job learned. 100%.
Ours is not to question why. We can't even create a rock out of nothing.
As difficult as it is to hear when we ask Why it is actually prideful and a god-like attitude. The right attitude is like Jobsβ¦. is to say wHy NOT meβ¦. Lord I deserve nothing. Humility.
,π―
Godβs ways are not our ways nor his thoughts, our thoughts. Just because we cannot see how this current situation might end or what it may mean, doesnβt mean that God, who is sovereign over everything, does not. In our own lives we often see, much later, why something happened. And often, it is something difficult or unwanted. But God sees the end from the beginning and knows all. That is the difference in our lives. Either we trust him or we donβt. But He does not call us to stand on the sidelines and just watch. He expects us to pray and to work. Jeff is doing that, and we should all do it as well. Whether it is just talking to friends, or praying in private, God uses our prayers. Just like with Jobβ¦God told him to pray for his friends, even though God was right there, but JOB had to pray for his friends and THEN God would forgive them.
βAnd my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.β 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.β Job 42: 8b-9.
Regarding Corey Comperatore, in one sense, he gave his life for his family. But it was his time, as no one goes before his time. God says, in Psalm 139, that "in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The world is praying for his family and God will support them and sustain them in this new life that they now have to live.
Iβm glad you believe God exists. My prayer is that youβll to get to know him by reading his Word and develop a relationship with him. After that a question like this will never again enter your mind.
I've had many "good" people taken from me in my life. Family men, godly women, innocent children. Do I understand it? Absolutely not. This verse has helped me to remember not to put God in a box or make Him in my image ("Well, I certainly wouldn't have done that!) He's God. I'm not.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT
[8] βMy thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,β says the Lord. βAnd my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Uhhh, He sacrificed his only son for all of humanity.....And if Jesus wasn't "a good man", then no one is (not that we can be, that being the whole point)
He gave us His Son who went to the Cross what more should HE give? This was a horrible act of free will by a great number of satanic players. This is not Gods fault. Shame on you for suggesting so. Maybe itβs the fault of Buddha or Gia?.
That is not what I suggested. I am a Christian woman and a lay pastor. As a flawed human, Iβm allowed to have questionsβ¦and opinions.
Agreed, but we do NOT know the thoughts or ways of God as you yourself should know. It may be that God IS saddened by this death, but it was from evil, evil and sin are in this world and God did NOT want this but because of man's inability to keep God in front of him, sin and evil rules this world. We need as a nation to come BACK to God in REPENTENCE and seeking forgiveness for our sins individually and our sins as a nation. You know the famous passage, If we humble ourselves (in repentance and seeking forgiveness), God will hear and heal our land (yes paraphrasing since I don't have a bible handy atm) and this is what is lacking in our country right now. As Pastor Faircloth calls it -, LGBT BBQ, trans, homosexuality and such run rampant across this land, in addition to child trafficking, abortion (child sacrifice), God has lifted His arm of protection off this nation, off our so-called churches (lukewarm or non-existence). We need to turn back to God individually AND as a nation!!!!
LGBT BBQ. Now thatβs a new one!
Well a pastor would not question the God I know. Frankly I donβt care if you are a lay pastor whatβs your point in that. Like itβs not material to an opinion. It sounds like trying to bring up sexualityβ¦.again has nothing to do with opinions. Iβm a CPA.
Not questioning Godβ¦just asking questions. Much like we did in the pandemic. And with vaccines. Is it Godβs will that so many died because of the vax? Asking questions is never a bad thing.
Ofcourse. πβ₯οΈ
Should we not work on pulling the log out of our own eyes, sister. Chastise with love and grace as commanded in the Bible.
If any of you guys have a free hour or so to watch this teaching by Jack Hibbs, it is a real eye-opener. Jump to 14:30 if you want to skip the worship music. It brought me greater clarity and peace in Sunday

Love him.
Amen sir
It is hard to make sense of these things.
Godβs ways are higher than our ways. He knows the beginning and the ending.
Though many (including myself) use reason and understanding of His word to feel like we know, we can never fully understand and it doesnβt bring comfort to everyone.
So I will just say: I trust God knows & God is in control.
As humans, we simply cannot comprehend the ways of the Lord.
God tells us so.
βFor my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.β
Isaiah 55:8-9
I once asked a holy man how could God allow a young man in his late 30's whom I knew personally to be gunned down by a terrorist group. His answer you don't know what the future for that man would hold whereas God knew that this was the best time to take him. We cannot, with a small and limited minds, be able to comprehend God
Maybe it was an act of God, and the sacrifice of a truly good man was necessary and critical in Godβs plan to protect from the falsehoods that would be spread that this was all staged. I guarantee you his rewards in heaven will be great for his selflessness in sacrifice to protecting his family first and for his attempting to wake up every morning and live an obedient life to God as best he could. God doesnβt always save innocents, but that doesnβt mean he is unworthy of our reverence and love. It doesnβt mean he is cruel or unfeeling. I couldnβt save my own children from the consequences of their occasional bad choices, but I also couldnβt save them from the hurt and pain caused by others choosing sin and evil against them in spite of them doing and being good, and believe me I tried as hard as any mother should to save them from the evil acts of others. The fact that I could not protect them fully does not mean Iβm not a loving mother or unsuccessful or incompetent at my job, and unworthy of their trust. We canβt force people to choose good, therein lies the true test of love, giving them freedom to choose on their own. But to truly give that freedom of choice it means sometimes one man will hurt another who is innocent. God doesnβt just protect us here in the flesh, he protects us into eternity - for those who love Him.
God can do anything, yes, but like any parent he has to take into account what is necessary for the sake of the whole family as a unit. When it serves a greater purpose he sometimes allows the pain and injustice towards those who donβt deserve it. (Think Job) And I am confident no suffering is felt by those who are not saved and his immense love and rewards are showered on them when they unite with Him in heaven.
You donβt have to comprehend his ways before you give Him your faith and trust, before you give him the benefit of the doubt. Just like children canβt possibly see all that a parent sees before they choose to obey them, because the child has not lived enough to learn and understand and see all that the parent knows. The parent sees so much further than the child is capable of. God sees a bigger picture than you or I are able to see. We have to trust that our βFatherβ has our best interests at heart and faithfully obey. And of course good parents do. Just because there are parents among us, who are sinful, and they violate that principle does not mean the principle isnβt true.
We all have free will. Since the evildoers are running the show right now, we allowed it to happen.. I donβt know why he was allowed to die either. Iβm glad he was a born again Christian.
God will use the affliction of both of these men. He will and has been using Trump to expose the evils of this current administration and if he is allowed by God to make it through this election cycle to make changes for the good, apparently God isnβt done with Trump yet, and Coreyβs to enrage the people to the point of making changes and motivating them to Do Something about what is happening to this Country. Corey is a righteous man and undeserving of this death, but only the Lord numbers our days. I would imagine this would have been his last day on earth no matter the situation. We donβt die before our time. I pray for his family as they grieve their loss of this good and godly man. I pray they find joy and peace that he is singing hallelujah with the angels at the feet of Jesus.
Many of our ur eyes are being opened and the truth is coming out. Praise be to the God of all creation!
I was reminded of George Washington when I learned of the assassination attempt. Good to know history and it will deepen your faith in God:
"While riding along the ranks looking to steady the men, Washington had two horses shot out from under him and four bullet holes shot through his coat." He was unharmed. Look it up.
By the way, I did not learn this in public school.
Wow
Betcha didn't. "Lies my teacher told me" is a good book. Which, incidentally,I discovered, on a colleague's desk, when covering his class.

Exactly my immediate thought! GOD protects His anointed. GOD is always working - no days, nights or weekends off. The thought of Him brings comfort and βthe peace that surpasses all understanding β.
The Georgia Guidestones destruction awhile back revealed that He is in fact with us.

But their timeline was interrupted.
Byβ¦..wait for it!!!
Donald John Trump!
Still, it took four? shots from how close? God protected Trump and sadly also proved it wasn't a bb gun or accidentally roughed up by attacking SS ladies.
β οΈFrom the Daily Mail!! UNBELIEVABLE!
πRoof gunman shot from had been 'flagged as security concern' by Secret Service
'The roof from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot at Donald Trump had reportedly been flagged as a potential security problem by the Secret Service before the assassination attempt, according to a report by NBC News.
Crooks climbed on to the roof of a building belonging to a glass research company which was 150 yards from where Trump was speaking on a stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. A source told NBC News:
Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,β
The Secret Service had indicated the building should be under the jursdiction of local law enforcement because it was outside the rally perimiter, according to the report'.
dailymail.com
Passing the buck. As usual, no one takes personal responsibility for anything these days. Which is exactly why things like this happen. Itβs like little kids saying, βnot me! He did it!β. Disgusting, and disappointing.
Yep, big time deflection of responsibility. And there was a ladder. How and when was it put there? Did the shooter bring it with him or was it placed there beforehand? How did he know to place it on that particular building whey wasnβt it noticed before? Why did a local policeman climb it, see the gunman, and scurry back down?
The ladder was there a head of time.
If true, how dumb are they? It ALL points to an inside job.
Source?
Very familiar with husband managing extension ladders. That takes strength and skill, imo. Crooks did not appear muscular.
hahaha true
Hmmm big surprise our diverse head of secret service (formerly of Pepsi) would not accept responsibility. π
150yds is outside the perimeter??? And pretty much the only roof not occupied by a security marksman?? If that is so, the first thing that President Trump should do after his inauguration is a complete overhaul of USSS.
There's that Magic Term again --- perimeter. Apparently as fixed as the North Star ... constant, immovable and inviolate! Never to be expanded, or contracted, nor moved about in anyway.
Perimeter! It is also a religious word because if something lies outside one's 'perimeter' ... then one is absolved of all sin, all responsibility!
Totally amazing how that powerful word works. And I'm going to remember that word! Because the next time DeWife asks me why didn't I do this or that I can just say ... "Well! That job was outside my perimeter!"
For Catholics, the 13th of the month is quite meaningful. Our Lady of Fatima appeared on the 13th of the month for six months in a row. Saint Pope John Paul II was also shot on the 13th of a month and was protected. Heaven is definitely interceding on Trump's behalf.
Whereβs the love button. And will the like button ever work again?

Contacting Substack support was futile.
He turned his head, not tilted it.
Why would America be in flames?
Corey is beyond prayer, but his family could use it.
Not according to Catholics. We continually pray for the souls of the departed. Purgatory is part of our faith.
Orthodox too. Prayer is efficacious for all souls, whether they are experiencing a foretaste of heaven or hell until the final judgement.
That is why traditionally in foreign cultures, one said "may God have mercy on his/her soul" , though I do think that "rest in peace" has the same intention, though not as clear.
My mother's 106th birthday anniversary was Thurs. I prayed for her soul that day (and sent note to brothers and children suggesting same). Protestant here. Nothing to do with doctrine, just moved to offer prayer.
Members of the Latter Day Saints also pray for the souls of the departed but they don't tolerate queers and child molesters in their pulpits.
No one is deprived of God's mercy if repentant.
word
Having repented multiple times, I've never gotten a return receipt.
@Vonu youβre still breathing, arenβt you? π
I was given an autonomic nervous system to handle that.
"Why would America be in flames (if Trump was ended)"?
.... I think you're right, right-wing America would have done nothing. We're too soft and would stay at home.
The GOP would put up Nikki Zion Hally who would continue the hollowing out of any Christian influence in our govt. There will be no revolution...
As Iβve said,there will necessarily be some killing in our future. But to wake the sleeping or one eye open giant that is us, it will take something so egregiousβ¦
Killing president trump would do it. Prettysure
And news yesterday is that NIkki is now invited to the convention.
Trump's weakness (?) is that he actually has a heart when it comes to his competition having lost. He is extrembly competitive, but feels for the loser. It is a good trait, a leadership trait.
I am sorry that you take my words as being that of an adoring fan. π€Obviously you have not read my many posts of honest critiques about certain things he has done or said. π€
I am not a blind fan of anyone!!
I am. however, entitled to my observations which include RFKJR being a man of integrity and reason.
I base my assumption on Trump from when he was running on 'getting Hillary' for her illegal actions in 2016. After she LOST to him, his rhetoric turned nice, going as far as saying that she and Bill were good people.
While anyone in politics or business is an opportunist, I still stand by my observation. I think that he hates losing because of his competitive ego, but he is gracious to those who he has lost to.
In any case, what does it matter? If you think that Biden is better for your vision of the country, then, by all means, vote for him. It is your prerogative. I wouldn't insult you for it!
Also, with all due respect, saying that I do not have the ability to be a critical thinker is extremely insulting and offensive, and just as much as if I were to say you have TDS.
Nikki Zion Hally (sic) isn't a natural born citizen any more than Marco Rubio is.
You believe that Lincoln's treason should have been made the gold standard for political behavior?
don't know know? Haven't you been paying attention to the dumbocrats and the main stream propaganda? That the right-wing and Trump will be the end of democracy
Yuri, I've been praying (in our before dinner prayer, where two of us are gathered......) for several mos. "for those in positions of power or authority(knowing full well who put them there), that their hearts may turn to Him". So I guess I/we've been doing our homework.
Salena Zeto, a reporter, was at the rally with her daughter. She has been to many and noted to Glenn Beck this morning that in all the rallies she has seen, it was the first time heβd used graphics, and also the first time heβd turned his head to the side like that, to look at what he was speaking about, while keeping his body facing the audience.
If not for that, wellβ¦
Divine Intervention indeed.
I feel the same as Yuri regarding the flames. It may spontaneously combust or it may take a spark but the kindling is dry and just waiting.... You feel it and don't deny it.

Seems to me, the Lord said, "Not today, satan."

I know it sounds like a minor thing under the circumstances, but to use GoFundMe instead of GiveSendGo is incredibly sad. The level of brainwashing is unbelievable. Organizers are naively using a woke communist deep state organization as the intermediary for charitable giving to heroes. Never forget what GoFundMe did to the Canadian Freedom Truckers and so many others, stealing their money and starving them out. But of course most, even the best among us, have forgotten. The Left wins in a million ways unless we are eternally vigilant.
Couldn't agree more. I won't donate for that very reason.
Me either
Add me.
Me four!
Ditto
I definitely thought of that too.
Same
So β¦ typo? Or do you prefer the crooks at GoFundMe?
Sorry, I had all these fundraising organization names mixed. Itβs GoFundMe Iβm against. I will, in the future, be more careful when I comment.
I figured it was a mistake!! ;)
Itβs easy to do, they sound a lot alike.
Exactly right. Several mixups just here in this thread. GiveSendGo made a big mistake. They should have called it FreedomFunding or GiveLove, something that contrasts it. Too bad.
Well
one could
make that argument but I also think they are faith based in which βsendingβ someone like sending out a missionary makes sense. Give send go. But agree its tough being close to GFM.
Thanks!
Can you say why? I don't like any of these funding platforms
Isnβt GiveSendGo the Christian alternative? GoFundMe was the one that wouldnβt give the Canadian truckers the money raised for them. And GiveSendGo allows you to also send prayers to recipients.
Yes, thatβs why I was upset with myself for getting the names mixed. I donate on GiveSendGo and deleted my comments that were in error.
Donβt be upset with yourself! We all make mistakes or mix things up sometimes!
Same thoughts. Seriously?!!!! I wouldβve donated but not through them. I sincerely hope that they donβt pull an ethical fast one and find a way to withhold the money from those families. Iβm holding my breath hoping they do the right thing. There are 100 excuses they can dig up to withhold it. Even if they donβt donors just funded GFMs checkbook. Sad.
GSG retains 17% for themselves either way.π€’
GSG???? I think you mean GFM. Go fund me?
Agree 1000%
ππΌ never forget!
Since thatβs the platform chosen for donations Iβll use it to give to these families. Theyβll get the funds they need and at some point the Lord will ensure Godfundme gets what they deserve.
I understand and respect this point of view. It's difficult.
But at some point we need to draw the line on supporting communist enablers like GFM.
Agreed.
I couldn't agree more. Never mind that GFM takes 3% i believe. GSG gives it all to the person. Smh!!!!!
GoFundMe about 6% on a $10 donation and about 4.5% on a $20 donation. Minimum fee is approximately 3% as donations get larger and larger. It's complex in that is 2.9%, plus $.30 per donation. Also they ask for a tip which is preposterous. GiveSendGo, the good site, has a similar transaction fee setup but it's a little less. And you're supporting what appears to be a good business instead of an Antifa Satanist one.
Maybe there is a way an alternative/additional fund could be set up? I donβt know who could do this though π
Absolutely 100% spot on. Thanks for saying this. GiveSendGo should have been the chosen app.
I met the owners of GiveSendGo at RePlatform Las Vegas. They are incredibly good people. If not for GSG, and C&C, we would not have made it this far. Thank you EVERYONE!
Yup.
βοΈ
I got to meet the founders of GiveSendGo and I am forever grateful of their platform which we used to start intake of funds for our non profit.
We obviously have disparate definitions of heroes.
Fire Chief Compertore, who rapidly pulled his wife and daughter to the ground, covered them to protect them, and took an incoming bullet that tore through his head is as precise and real of an example of a hero as you could ever find. Objectively.
Objectively.
Widows and orphans.
Objectivity has nothing to do with the innate drive to protect those one loves.
He was a former volunteer fire chief, FWIW.
Fun fact about Trumps rally on Saturday...it was covered live on CNN. CNN had not done a live Trump event since his Town Hall over a year ago. What are the odds that CNN covered that very event where Trump βshould haveβ been assassinated. Just like when CNN just happened to be hanging around Roger Stones house in the middle of the night before the FBI raided him like he was hiding Bin Laden.
This whole thing is extremely suspect, none of it adds up. And we will never get a straight answer.
And what are the odds that USSS sent a ragtag bunch of replacements for this particular event to relieve Trump's usual protective detail, and retained resources to cover Dr Jill's visit elsewhere in PA, including the snipers approved just a day prior, leaving them no time to prepare or scout the area?π€
*All according to RealClearPolitics
There was a video of two of the female USSS looking back and forth while the male USSS were covering Trump. One of the females was trying unsuccessfully to holster her weapon. Good thing she didn't experience an AD with that thing.
Yeah, she and the other two appeared to be in total panic.
...and so much shorter than Trump, who she was supposed to be protecting.
We may get the straight answers when Mayorkas and Garland are brought up on charges by PDJT47.
Iβll take things that will never happen for $200 Alex.
The Don might want that. We might want that. But the RINO uniparty scum would not let that happen. Just like they were investigating the Bidens, where has that got us? A sternly worded letter or two? No impeachment.
When team R had all of the power during Trumps first two years in office very little was accomplished thanks to this same RINO uniparty scum. Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and their ilk.
I hope Iβm wrong and youβre right but Iβm not going to hold my breath. Iβm just thankful DJT is somehow still alive.
Haha! "Things that will never happen for $200" Good One. Will Ferrel needs to resurrect his character for a new take on "Celebrity Jeopardy"...."Deep State Jeopary"
Hope so.
Clearly a hitβ οΈ
That is very strange. I think Trump should mention that in an interview.
It's almost as if they KNEW something was going to happen at that rally.
...and that a NYT photographer got the split second shot of a bullet racing by.
Just like this kid they are accusing as the shooter. Heβs probably been moved away, given a new life and plastic surgery, living in a Black rock home somewhere. That dead body they showed us is not Thomas Crooks.
Right on!
Oh very good point. Trump has rallies so often that I don't even notice anymore, and it seems as if the only place with live coverage consistently is RSBN on yt. Hm...
CNN is like the people who commit murder and get caught because they shopped at WalMart for the cleanup items.
I hadnβt thought of that. Itβs chilling. We know that CNN works with the FBI and the CIA, through their reporting. If President Trump were killed on live TV Kennedy style, I cannot imagine. Itβs truly a miracle.
Especially since the shooter appeared in a Blackrock commercial. Absolutely a pony show.
CNN headline was ridiculous until a few hours later.
Very good point CK
Very interesting... or as you said- extremely suspect....
That IS interesting.
How would Blackrock know to search for any instances of the alleged shooter in their video ads? Is that standard practice for companies to review their advertisements after an incident such as this? And how far back do you look, 2, 4, 10 years? Just very odd.
REALLY good point. Especially an extra??
It would have been some advertising company who set up the ad and wrangled some extras, not Blackrock themselves.
Something smells funny here. If only they could figure out how to unlock that phone! Lol
Did AT&T just get hacked, revealing all calls and texts.. Iβm sure those hackers could help
Canβt remember specifics, unfortunately, but I do know there have been times in the past where they had no trouble and if they did they would tell the wireless provider to cough up the phone records. Just another example of coverup.
It happened with the pulse night club shooter in Florida. The FBI needed the backdoor to his Apple phone and they denied them access. It went to court.
I discovered how easy it is to hack someone's computer when mine refused to respond and Apple walked me through a few simple steps to bypass the password. I have to believe the phone is the same. So much for privacy! (That last sentence may need a /sarc)
Maybe they should try using John Podesta's password.
πππΌ
That's extra funny to those of us who watch True Crime stuff on a regular basis. The first thing they do is bust into the phones. Not only that, obviously, even if a person tries to delete what's in there, it's no good. ALL of it can be tracked.
yessss! π€£
See? Now I can rest assured that no one can break my lock screen code!
Except my kids. Sneakly little people.
Because the ad was spotlighting a teacher at Bethel Park High School which the shooter attended. Included an image of the front of the high school.
In the ad, the teacher was extolling the benefits of Blackrock investments, blah, blah, blah.
That is important context. Otherwise, it's a real WTH moment.
Laura Loomer posted that video on Twitter. Donβt know if she was the first to have it or not, but the video was out there, so Blackrock didnβt have any choice.
They scrub soooo much from the internet.
There was a video of Jill first husband that disappeared around 2018.. still canβt find it. Didnβt save it on hard drive
He's been on Newsmax quite a few times including recently.
Great point.
Immediately thought this. Does big business do this as standard practice when something awful is in the news? Is this a part of PR departments?
Laura Loomer reported on it either late Saturday or Sunday. I'm not sure how she found out so quickly as the kid was just an extra in the commercial and not mentioned by name.
Yes! Odd! How do these things happen?
Laura Loomer found it, I believe. Maybe internet image search for his face?
Unless they saw their connection to the shooter might receive unwanted attention.
"One hand pulled the trigger, another guided the bullet" - Pope John Paul II after his assassination attempt. Nothing less than the hand of God intervened on Saturday.

"Thereβs been no word yet on Nancy Pelosiβs donation". She probably donated the bullets.
She wouldn't know the correct caliber.
I laughed so hard at that line, and yes, I do think she donated the bullets. Priceless!!!!
She still wouldn't have any idea what caliber to donate, probably not knowing what a a caliber is.
She tried and tried to buy a bullet button to donate, but kept missing her mark.
Only if theyβre going at the bottom of her gin bottle
I thought she was a vodka girl
Well, we know the hubs is a vodka girl.
Right?

Yeah but she sent a kind tweet. Thatβs all that matters
She does have those bullet pens...
No. That was Hillary
Biden's words last night ring hollow, coming from a man who has been claiming for the last 4 years that "Trump poses an existential threat to democracy!", trying to falsely compare Trump to Hitler as much as possible. Now, all of the sudden, he wants to tone things down?
Do you know that they were JUST ready to put out tv ads comparing Trump to Hitler, and they frantically pulled them!
Wow! I did not know that. Not surprising however. Last week, one of the national Leftist magazines had on their cover a "blended Trump/Hitler face." Disgusting. Inside the magazine they talked about how Trump fit the many signs of a fascist dictator. That's funny, I recall that Trump in his first term couldn't even get his wall built because some Lefty district or circuit judge was constantly blocking it. Nor did Trump ever throw any reporters in jail. Nor did he silence any speech.
Meanwhile, Biden was mandating that people take experimental jabs. Biden was conducting lawfare against his political opponents. Biden was not giving his political opponents adequate Secret Service protection. Biden was colluding with Big Social Media to "censor" the speech of fellow Americans who stray from the approved narrative. Biden was ignoring the Constitution by just unilaterally declaring student college debt "forgiven" in order to buy the youth vote. Biden never said a bad word about Antifa, the Orwellian named militant arm of his Democrat Party. There are many more examples.
It's a classic case of "projection." The Democrats ALWAYS falsely accuse you of the sins that they are committing themselves. The Democrats are the Fascists.
And, Biden is STILL doing all that.
Antifa are the brownshirts to the Biden Hitler.
"People" have no idea.
Brownshirts=bad!!!
What's a brownshirt? "I have no idea!"
What's a fascist? Anyone who disagrees with (what I have been told is) ME!
That is exactly how evil operates. Every time.
Very well said! Thank you.
ππ―π―π―
Spot on
Trump didn't do a lot of the things you mentioned, but remember that Julian Assange was jailed and not released under Trump. He spent an extra 7 years in jail he didn't need to.
This is true! And I also heard 5 days prior Biden said Trump needs to be put in a bulleye.
They could revise their ads to say that Hitler survived some assassination attempts too...
So typical, all the left wing politicians say the same exact thingβpolitical violenceβ has to stop, no place in β¦ blah blah blah. Their handlers are lousy script writers. No variety.
"The very soul of America is at stake!"
His handlers can see where that's all going. He has to at least give an appearance of calling to tone things down. We'll see what happens in the following days/weeks.
Politics. Itβs all Kabuki theater.

Hey, he dropped the blood red backdrop. What more do you want?!
Agreed! When people show you who they are- believe them.

And after saying it was time to put Trump in the bullseye.
Just like he said they were "laser focused" on helping the people of Lahina.
He is just covering his own butt!
If it wasn't a hypocrite and a projectionist, it wouldn't be a Democrat.
Exactly!
Yeah and said Trump needs to be in the cross hairs.

You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
In Yahweh, whose word I praise,
In God I trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Oh yes!
βYou shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.β
Deuteronomy 3:22
Amen!
We still need to always remember that Jesus said those who take up the sword will die by the sword, and he also said to love our enemies. Human instinct is to fight back in the same way we are attacked. Christ Followers are called to be different, than those who are in this world. To be the light of the world. We are called to follow the example set by our Lord. Love, kindness, peace, forgiveness, mercy, goodness, truth, honesty.
2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)
if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Thank you for posting this. It is exactly what I wanted to see!!!
He also said to buy a sword. The one who has a sword, but shows restraint in it's use because of His Name, honors Him. The one who uses a sword in preservation of the life of another, and then dies by the sword, has given his life for another. I'm speaking as a man and not from scripture, but as a man who has used the sword and then has become a believer, only because of His mercy and grace.
The discriminator is whether He is acting in you as His proxy. Those who don't believe will not understand, and will act inappropriately. Those will then bring you before magistrates. Some may act in His name, but deceitfully. Pray for discernment.
Our Lord went to His death with legions of angels at His disposal. But at other times, He also brought to bear legions of angels to bring about His purposes.
Don't believe a word I say without prayerfully referring to scripture.
Righteous anger is a thing. A biblical thing.
Not Peace, but a Sword - Matthew 10
βDo not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. - Jesus
Yes, it is. I believe when Jesus cleared the Temple of the money changers and those selling sacrificial animals his anger was a righteous anger. Then when he dealt with the religious leader several times, we can hear his righteous anger in the words he used towards them.
Be like the Bereans....

Love this passage.
Psalm 27 is another favorite! Also Psalm 91! And 23! And . . .
Genesis - Revelation is pretty good too. :D
I'm quite fond of Genesis 1 through Revelation 22!
"The sum of your word is Truth"
Psalm 119:160
NOT "only the parts that will fill the stadium seating on which we have squandered the tithes of the sheep" is (counterfeit) truth
Love your posts, Janice! Malachi 3:16-18 always come to mind!
Beautiful passage which I will now share over on my FB pages. Thank you, Tom!
The FBLie has yet to arrest the first client of Jeffrey Epstein's although they have computers, videos and other files. They bungled the pedophe investigation of Larry Nassar and had to pay his victims 139 million dollars. The FBLie had Hunter Biden's laptop and said nothing. They had lethal force authorization for the MAL raid. Etc. Etc. That FBI?
Wouldn't trust them to say it is raining without first looking.
They are too busy coralling grandmothers and other people that were in DC on January 6th.
And imprisoning pro-lifers peacefully praying at abortion mills.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven! How stupid do they think we are? (Rhetorical) Seriously?!!
My sister and brother in law (rabid liberals) said, they just donβt want people lying to them π€¦π»ββοΈ they honestly think the left is spewing truthβ¦OH and my sis (who is very smart) Northwestern grad a bunch of masters degreesβ¦said βthere is nothing wrong with Bidenβ π³ how do you even have a conversation with the gaslighting sheβs gotten?
Simple, you donβt or you canβt, itβs impossible to try to make sense with someone that has already make their mind. If they agree with you it means that they have to automatically accept that they have been wrong all along and not to many people have that kind of integrity, specially the very smart ones. By the way same problem hereβ¦I just donβt touch the subject when we have to be together.
βFor those that understand, no explanation is needed.
For those that donβt understand, non explanation is enough β
they figured out how stupid 80% of people are during covid- 'member?
Exactly. None of my highly educated friends did their due diligence when it came to the clot shot. Some listened to me but went ahead and took the needle.
the medical whores did it all for money. No pity on them
Once I determine someone is brainwashed, I just go away. I'm not into a conflict with a crazy person. And I run into them here and there on my podcast. The only rule of my podcast is "no politics"; I'm interested in the human journey. But the libs invariably have to say something, even if it's after recording. What is it with these people????
Like Vegans and Crossfitters. They just can't shut up about their cult!
It's so bizarre. I spoke to someone the other day who was all about "unity" but as soon as the podcast was over, she/he reverted to their true self and started screaming "how could anyone be so stupid to not believe in Climate warming." This was out of the blue and had nothing to do with our conversation. I gave my standard response: "I think the issue is really about whether we've been good stewards of the earth, and the answer is clearly no". They had no response for that. It didn't fit their activist paradigm and they certainly couldn't go off their well memorized talking points. They swim in a different pond, and simply cannot see they are programmed the way they are.
Unfortunately, being βbook smartβ and possessing logic and common sense, that are much more important in the real world, appear to be mutually exclusive (not always, but in many cases). I worked at a university for many years and witnessed it first hand with the professional academic class.
I witnessed it with someone who, on paper, was perfect. In the real world, not so much.
I totally agree!! Iβm the street smart/logical one out of my sisters. My brother has that going for him as well. He and his wife (CA residents) are HUGE TRUMP fans. BUT only after they saw what was happening to media and them persecuting the man. Anyway, my sis is just so dug in I honestly feel sorry for her.
Glad your brother came around.
I can barely have a conversation with my college educated friends in upstate New York. So glad Iβm in Florida now.
Makes me glad I failed out of college years ago! I was ashamed for years. ( I was drinking too much. Got help after)
I failed high school, but got a job in a bank at 15. I enrolled in Uni when I was 40. Graduated SCL... Being an older student, I was well equipped to sort the bullshit.
I took a few classes later, definitely advantages to being a β returning student β . Thanks for your comment!
Well I barely made it outβ¦BUT started my own business and have kept my head above water. I love being a logical thinker, itβs kept me alive and well during some shakey times.
Gigi ... you resonate. I keep thinking that if one's mind is cauterized by an incessant spewing of lies, at some point one is no longer genuinely human, but rather a mental cyborg owned by the state, the Deep State ... or whatever Invisible Hand Controlling.
The tearing apart of natural human relations is an act of warfare plain and simple. What has happened in the Western World is a tragedy as great as what happen to Russia in 1917. If one throws in the C19 bioweapon, maybe worse if only in enlargement of scale.
It is strange that 'smart' people are not always so 'smart'. And it kind of overturns the apple cart on what is 'smart'. It's looking like 'smart' needs the necessity of God and Scriptural Wisdom to even have a hope of being smart. Smart without wisdom and true knowledge is useless.
My sis used to work for the Catholic Church. One of her Masters was religious education. I could go on but honestly I fell sorry for them, itβs divided us siblings to a certain point. Which just breaks my heartβ¦I wonβt even get into the whole vax thing, that was another ridiculous psyop they believed in strongly.
My dad was a recovering Catholic. Heβd take a walk in the woods every Sunday. Heβd be shocked at whatβs going on these daze.
Even when C19 is most widely disbelieved (and it slowly working its way there), it is likely that some 30% will still believe The Magic Flu Story.

The University of British Columbia is not located in Alberta. I know you Yankees have trouble with geography, but Calgary isn't in British Columbia.
π€¦ββοΈ fixed
Common mistake given the .ca in the address. UBC is in British Columbia, Canada. It's location almost guarantees her views are widely held.
That's why it is no longer called the West Coast but the Worst Coast. Think BC, Washington, Oregon, California. I tend to think it is something in the water of the Pacific or something to do with what is emitting from the Cascadia Fault Line.
Is something leaking out of communist China and being carried eastward by prevailing ocean currents?
Encouraged by our Prime Minister and the BC government.
Debra, βWorst Coastβ is an excellent description of. We have roots and family ties to rural (southern) Oregon and I always thought weβd retire there. But, now, the political vibes flowing from Portland make it far less appealing.
I am from BC. I refer to it as the Left coast
It's, "within the ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people, and in the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation and their peoples"
I'm sure UBC will be giving the land back very soon.
Vancouver has an UNDRIP task force.

Great link.
Oh, of course. Duh! Calgary is just outside Jerusalem, right? I sometimes confuse it with cavalry also, soβ¦
Right!π
The Calvary is coming, and will set you right . . .
If the cavalry reaches you first, may the Calvary deliver you.
Calgary is for donuts, hockey, and fries smothered in gravy.
It's the overconfidence that grates. 'Calgary, British Columbia' - how can that sound 100% correct to anyone in North America?
There are plenty of American cities that I wouldnβt know the State where theyβre located. Iβm not offended. I AM embarrassed that Karen is a prof at a top Canadian university.
You make assumptions about our knowledge of geography if we don't have the maps app open. :) (And I was _never_ good at geography, even in school. I always claimed that is why we had atlases and maps. :D )
I learned geography and reading a map on family camping trips- one of those trips being to Calgary [Calgary Stampede Rodeo] and Lake Louise. Highly recommend. Of course a long time ago with an atlas.
Peter? Are you the transgendered version of that Miss South Carolina beauty contestant from years ago?
I will admit I didn't catch it at first, even with the good fortune of having been to BC, AB, SK, ON , MB and NB. I blame it on my lack of caffeine. I was in Cranberry Portage MB fishing in the clear lakes for those good eating walleye and muskie. Jumped in Lake of the Woods, Sioux Narrows ON and that water so cold I could barely dog paddle out to get in a hot shower. 50 years ago. And twenty years ago the drive from Whistler back to Vancouver revealed stunning beauty. Thank God for a farmer Dad who loved to fish or this hick from Alabama wouldn't know geography.
Because Americans who donβt live near the border know nothing about Canadian geography and those who live near the border are probably only familiar with the area near where they live.
Now that's just not true. We know it as that great white mass of land north of America. It's always cold and there are moose drinking maple syrup while playing hockey. :D
Moose play lacrosse; beavers play hockey.
And the housing is very bland.
Which make them no different than the 90% who live in America and canβt give directions to their own home.
... And the roughly 30% who neither register nor vote in any elections.
I gave someone directions once using the compass point, N,S, E, W. They had zero ability to comprehend the NW corner of the Plaza. Unbelievable.
Many Americans donβt know their own geography. I know New Yorkers who think Texas is on the West Coast. Seriously. Adults with good jobs.
I think that is the bizarre self-centrism unique to New Yorkers.
As I said, it's the overconfidence that grates, as much as the ignorance. 'Oh Dublin, you say? Is that in the northern part of England or the southern part?'
Oh, if only there was a way to quickly look things up when there is a niggling doubt about something!
Just being honest unless we are at war with a country their geography simply doesnβt matter to us and when we are at war it only vaguely matters. Personally Iβm familiar with Canada only because I live close to Canada. I know Jack all about Mexican geography and donβt care enough to learn about it. So be glad that most Americans are unfamiliar because the moment Americans start to care you can assume you are about to be liberated.
BOOM. It's Color Revolution time - here come Victoria Nudelman and Katherine Maher.
"Pay no attention to Barry's arm going up the back of Joe's suit as he walks him off stage."
He was TOLD that one day he would be a "real boy."
I agree that many people are geographically illiterate but that includes people outside of the US too. Iβve known lots of non Americans who had trouble locating other countries or foreign cities on a map. Iβm kind of an anomaly, I have always been a map lover and interested in geography (my kids are too). I was also fortunate to have had a third grade teacher who taught us the names of the Canadian provinces and so Iβve known their names and locations since I was a child. But lots of people donβt seem to know or care about other parts of the world. If it doesnβt affect them, why bother to learn about it? This seems to be the prevailing attitude.
Things like grammar, geography, and so on ... can be argued to be 'nonessential' like certain businesses were during the height of the C19 terrorism campaign. Although not clearly defined these days, there once was in America a standard education deemed to be the bare essential for getting along in life, being able to communicate and understand things on a basic level. 'They' threw this all out and now look where we are.
The Empire of Lies may as well be called The Stupid Empire. And that is how I think the rest of the non-Western World Monstrosity views us ... at least the thinking portion.
Yes things have certainly gone downhill as far as expectations and general knowledge π
There is no "niggling," Mac, so no need to look it up.
Here's the problem.
Did you just say niggling?
"RACIST!!1!"
Sad, but true.
Sorry, but no. It's like meeting someone who needs to look up the years of World War II.
If you meet many < 20 y/o kids, you first have to tell them what WW2 was.
Lol, youβre kidding. Iβd bet over 50% of people under 30 would not even know the decade, theyβd have zero clue.
Is that a clever joke?
Something that most Americans would also have to look up.
And you know every state in Mexico?
Maybe she just commutes from calgary like this guy:

I thought of that immediately, but since I am a Yank and not totally familiar with Canadian cities, I thought maybe there was also a Calgary, BC.
I note in passing that perhaps "University" should always appear in sarcastic quotes from now on.

I have a sign that says, "It's hard to coexist with those who want to kill you."
It is but with the help and grace of God we can. The Israelites have done it for thousands of years. They still struggle. We have to take each day as it comes and hope we do our best for God and others.
Hermon, where the angels who sinned made their covenant. A covenant with death. Our Lord and King has dealt with them, definitively. He tarries for the sake of our repentance. He is giving us time! He will make His enemies His footstool. He said His return would be when times were just as in the days of Noah.
He has TOLD us! Watch it happen! He will deliver us, from, through, or into His presence!
I'll see Him in the fiery furnace, or in the clouds. Either way. His will be done.
Jeff! I'm LMAO right now....UBC is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, not Calgary Alberta. :-)).
