President Trump survives an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday. The apparent shooter is dead after firing several shots at the president, wounding him in the ear, before Secret Service swarmed.
Warning: Disturbing video:
President Trump, with blood on his ear and cheek , raised a defiant fist and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight! as the protective detail rushed him out of the area as thousands of horrified attendees looked on. Media reports the shooter killed at least one rally attendee.

Trump’s campaign staff reports the President is ok , with no critical injuries. However an eyewitness reported to the BBC, he saw a man with a rifle crawling on a roof and getting into position just before shots were fired. The witness frantically pointed out the rooftop gunman to cops in the area, whom he said, did nothing.
BREAKING: Eyewitness tells BBC that he informed police, Secret Service about a suspicious man on a roof with a rifle.
The witness said he heard five shots fired before Secret Service killed the individual. But now questions arise. As the witness pointed out to the reporter ,why were there no Secret Service or police on the buildings surrounding the rally? And why did police and Secret Service ignore the witnesses’ attempts to alert them?
Meanwhile, media reports say a quote by President Biden on July 8 is coming back to bite him. The Gateway Pundit reports that during a video call with top donors Biden said “I have one job and that’s to beat Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that.”
Biden continued, “So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a Bullseye.”
With the mockingbird media piling on Biden to step down, it will be interesting to see if they try to blame him for inciting the shooting. Remember how they blamed Sarah Palin for the Gabby Giffords shooting after Palin’s Political Action Committee released a map showing crosshairs on targeted Democrat districts back in 2011? .
A few weeks ago I would have predicted crickets with such a statement from Biden. But now, I’m not so sure.
In meantime, please thank God for his mighty hand of protection and the angels surrounding President Trump and his family. I am also praying that those behind this assassination attempt are exposed to everyone and punished. Finally, please also pray for the family of the innocent rally goer killed by shooter.
President Biden gave a very rare news conference Thursday, where he took “questions” from the Democrat stenographers. How did he do and did the “big boy” press conference save Ol Joe from those in his party calling for him to step down?
Well it didn’t help he called his VP ,”Vice President Trump” when addressing the opening question about Vice President Kamala Harris’ qualifications as president.
Biden replied , “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump as vice president if I (didn’t think) she was not qualified to be president. “
And the look on the face of Biden’s team says it all. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s like “What did I just hear?” The look on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’ eyes say “Oh, not again!” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan places his hand over his mouth and chin and is like “Dude!”
The reaction from Biden's team when he called Kamala "Vice President Trump"
If that gaffe wasn’t the stuff of new memes, President Biden, a.k.a the Commander-in-Chief, then misspoke saying one point he’s “following the advice of his commander-in- chief.”
The “big boy ” press conference was the just the finale of a gaffe-filled day for the President who got 81 million votes in 2020. At the NATO meeting in Washington D.C. earlier in the day , Biden introduced Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as President Putin before catching himself.

To be fair , Biden didn’t completely blow the press conference, after all the bar was set pretty low. All he needed to do was take questions, not wander off, or exhibit any bizarre behavior. Mission accomplished.
Biden will be the nominee leading up to the Democrat National Convention in August. It’s simply too problematic to change candidates due the election rules and deadlines of each different state.
If there is a change of candidate, it will probably happen during or after the convention. That could mean Biden stepping down voluntarily for the good of the country, his cabinet evoking the 25th Amendment or Biden and family leaving the scene with a lucrative deal. Or perhaps I am wrong and Biden will remain the candidate. We’ll see.
Either way, the question remains, did the big boy press conference save Ol Joe? Probably not , but his showing has, for now, bought him some time.
Intellectual Froglegs: “War”, Joe Dan Gorman’s latest transmission. Mr. Gorman comments on the Soviet style show trial of President Donald Trump in New York, spiritual warfare and features an interview with scientist, Dr James Tour.
While, Mr Gorman’s humor is still present, this is a serious and weighty episode. He addresses the full-scale attack on President Trump and concludes God is protecting him with Divine Providence.
I believe the evidence strongly supports Mr Gorman’s conclusion. You have to ask, why with all these attacks on President Trump, is he getting stronger?
I’ve written about spiritual warfare in different posts which means our weapons are not of this world. To fight this war, all we can do is stand, pray, study Scripture, and worship and praise God. As Mr Gorman eloquently points out, “the ammo is free.”
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.– Ephesians 6:11-12 (ESV)
This is not just another election about policy. What God has presented to the American people, out of the darkness, and plain to see, is evil. You can see evil in our enemies eyes, their speech, their actions and policies. This, because indwelling in their hearts is not the Spirit of the LORD, but demons.
Of course we vote and speak the truth, but only God and His heavenly forces can fight demons. All we can do is stand, armored in God, through, the transformative power of Jesus, and guided by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. –Ephesians 6:13-18
Maybe this is God’s timing for the fall of America, or God’s plan for America’s revival. His will be done. Practice obedience to God, have faith in Jesus, and pray always.
Recently sworn in for his second five-year term, President Nayib Bukele has smashed MS-13 as a menace in El Salvador, and is bringing peace and prosperity to a country once known as the murder capital of the world. Tucker Carlson interviews El Salvador President Bukele to find out what makes this man, the “World’s Most Effective Leader.”
Bukele reveals in the one on one , a trait missing in many world leaders: seeking God’s wisdom first in everything. Also discussed, the state of Western Civilization and Bukele’s advice to President Trump. The interview is well-worth your time. Watch:
Perhaps God is placing the seeds of change for Western Civilization in leaders like President Nayib Bukele , Argentinian President Javier Milei and President Trump? All we can do is seek God’s wisdom and His will in prayer.
I was a once a liberal Democrat, who even voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. So, I thought it would be interesting to illustrate a dialogue between my conservative self and my former liberal self. I call it, “An interview with Democrat me. “
Just so you’re able to follow, my Democrat dialogue is in bold italics. I wrote this in an interview format. With that said, here we go:
“Historic! That racist Trump is finally getting what he deserves. This should weaken this threat to America and our democracy, MAGA.”
“Yes! It’s dim-witted idiots following a leader in the mold of Hitler. MAGA is code for taking us back to the days of McCarthyism and Jim Crow. “
But aren’t Democrats practicing those historical black- eyes, with demonizing white males and the blacklisting of conservatives in Hollywood and education ?
“No. What we’re practicing is Diversity Equity and Inclusion.We’re stopping evil!”
“Ok. You questioned the results of the 2020 election. You say the 2020 election was stolen by cheating. This is dangerous for democracy!”
Why is it dangerous?
“You racist Republicans are undermining the integrity of elections which divides the country.”
Didn’t the Democrats do that when Americans elected Donald Trump as President in 2016?
“No, we said Trump was illegitimate. That’s different. Hillary won the popular vote.”
Trump won the electoral college which is what counts. The Constitution details the President is elected via the electoral college, so populous states are stopped from having undue influence.
“Russian interference helped steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin.”
You do understand the whole Russia Collusion story was revealed as a hoax after Hillary’s campaign paid for the Steele Dossier?
“No it wasn’t . That’s lies and disinformation from the evil Trump side.”
Disinformation? You guys use that word a lot. What’s the difference between disinformation and misinformation?
“Don’t try your rhetorical games with me. The words speak for themselves.”
Those words speak of censorship. You Dems seem to throw out those words to shut down free speech.
“Freedom of speech doesn’t give conservatives license to spout lies or spread hate speech.”
Hate speech? Conservatives don’t go around using racial or misogynistic slurs like the N-word or the b-word in our speech or everyday parlance.
“You may not say those words, but you imply them when you talk about patriotism or a merit-based culture. “
So, that’s racist and sexist, talking about love of country or of rewarding people based on merit, rather than skin color?
“Patriotism is code for white supremacy, and merit is another way of promoting institutionalized discrimination.”
I see. You guys are always warning against white supremacy. How can you say that when America voted for Barack Obama for president . Lots of Republicans cast their vote to elect the first black president.
“Yes, but racism got worse after Obama was elected.”
It only got worse because Obama and his administration made it worse. In fact , Obama set back race relations 50 years.
” More disinformation! Whites in this country, especially conservative Republicans, wanted Obama to fail. Trump was complicit in this by calling Obama’s birth certificate fake.”
Is that one of the reasons you hate Trump?
“Yes, Trump is a racist. He and MAGA are the greatest danger to democracy.”
Interesting. Under Trump ,America had no wars, had the strongest economy in decades, and the lowest minority unemployment ever. If he’s such a a racist, why did so many people benefit from his polices?
“Did you ever read his tweets? He’s a narcissist and only cares about himself. It’s all about Trump. His cult is blind to his evil and his danger to democracy.”
So again MAGA is a cult?
“Of course! MAGA ignores climate change, despises science , rejected the mask mandates, and demonstrates hatred toward drag queens and transgenders. These are dumb people who blindly follow Trump.”
But how can Trump be this existential threat when Biden got 81 million votes in 2020?
“His lies cast doubt on the integrity of the election process.”
Hmm… maybe Trump’s accusations were a threat to your narrative that Joe Biden got more votes than Barack Obama and every other president in history.
“President Biden got more votes because Americans were tired of Trump’s failures and lies. They wanted proven and mature leadership. What kind of a president constantly attacks the press and calls it fake news? The press is vital to our democracy.”
Trump must have struck a chord because public trust in media is at an all time low. Anyway so what’s your take on Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts by a Manhattan jury?
Courtesy: Slate.com
“Justice finally prevailed. The legal process worked and no one is above the law.”
Does it bother you that no one, not even legal experts can articulate exactly what Trump is guilty of? The proceeding was called a hush-money trial and such a violation is a basically a misdemeanor, a non-disclosure agreement.
“Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers, a jury his lawyers agreed to.”
Trump’s lawyers agreed to the best of what was a hostile jury pool. And what about Judge Juan Merchan’s donations to the Biden campaign and his daughter’s ties to a group promoting Democrat candidates?
“Judge Merchan gave a small campaign contribution and let’s not bring his daughter into this. Trump, the convicted felon, tried to make the judge’s child a distraction.
You guys love saying convicted felon, don’t you?
“Yes, because it’s true.”
Looks like Trump supporters are embracing it also. He raised over 50 million dollars within a day of his conviction.
“That shows what a danger the MAGA cult is.”
Uh-huh. Looks like more blacks and hispanics are buying into MAGA over Biden as well.
“Those aren’t real blacks and hispanics if they vote for Trump.”

How are you doing one day after a New York jury, a partisan judge and DA convicted a former president? I don’t know about you , but I am optimistic.
On its face, it looked as if President Donald Trump and Make America Great Again suffered a major defeat. But was it a defeat or a self-inflicted wound by the left?
A New York jury , enabled by a partisan liberal judge became the first in history to convict a former President . Let’s not even focus on the sham charges or the leftist judge for a moment.
What happened yesterday was the setting of precedent. It is no longer outside the realm of reality to convict a former president.
Think about that seriously. What the legal system of this country used to consider out of the question, is now reality.
This means any state attorney general or local district attorney can prosecute any former president suspected of committing real crimes. No longer does a judge or prosecutor have to worry about the media blowback of being the first one to try a former president. Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg have become trailblazers. Perhaps, not in the way they think?
I believe Trump knows this and was counting on a conviction verdict. I reached this conclusion after a comment made by CNN Legal Analyst Professor Jonathan Turley in the aftermath of the Thursday’s verdict (cued to 8:08. play to 8:43).
“The atmosphere in the room at the end, I must say, was solemn and it was riveting: no one moved. ” Turley said. “Now it was funny cause they really ramped up security right before the verdict came in and they , the security said nobody move, nobody stand. And there was a bit of chuckle cause no one was moving, everyone was frozen…The person that seemed the calmest was Trump. He continued to talk with his counsel. This did not seem to surprise him in the least.”
Remember also to 2022, when the Supreme Court allowed Congress access to Trump tax returns? Again, a precedent was set , allowing access to every presidents’ tax information. If Trump is re-elected these are substantial means of access for any Congressional inquiry or Trump Department of Justice investigation.
Consider also the Supreme Court is set to decide the issue of presidential immunity as early as next week. A ruling against Trump means past presidents can no long claim immunity from criminal charges based on official acts as president.
It will be interesting to see how this looming SCOTUS decision plays out. Before you accuse me of hopium, all I’m doing is recounting what has occurred thus far. Maybe Trump is playing 4D chess, or maybe he isn’t?

No matter the verdict in the Trump “Hush -Money” trial in New York, it will go down in history as a travesty of justice. Whatever the outcome, the Democrat Party loses.
Judge Juan Merchan’s jury instructions that a unanimous verdict is not needed for guilt, ensures a Trump conviction will not survive the appellate process. It’s obvious the only importance to the left is Trump, “guilty!” They want to have their mockingbird media headline and narrative of former President and “convicted felon,” Trump.
They want so bad to say those words, they can taste it. Who cares if Democrats destroy America’s judicial system and rule of law in the process?
They better care, because if Trump loses , the Democrats’ victory will be a pyrrhic one. The cost will nullify any the win due to the damage and losses sustained. The losses for the Democrats will be credibility, legitimacy and most importantly , power.
Americans are coming to a realization about the Democrats with the Trump show trials, the wide-open border, the party’s support of transgendered men in women’s sports, its demonization of local law enforcement, its promotion of a two-tiered justice system, and its lust for war, that this party is an enemy to America.
Americans will never unsee , for a least a generation, the spectacle of the Democrats weaponizing the legal system and the intelligence apparatus against a a former President, private citizen and presedential candidate. To use their self-righteous, description for any of their destructive policies, it’s historic.
If there’s a hung jury or , this is highly unlikely, the jury acquits , then the public sees the Democrat lawfare tactics of weaponizing the courts against an opponent, as another form of cheating. Secondarily , anyone , despite their political affiliation will now be able to recognize and label lawfare as political dirty tricks.
If Trump survives this, which I believe he will, the Democrats’ action will surpass Watergate as the benchmark of political illegality.
In the meantime, pray for God, according to His will, to revive this nation and restore a righteous hatred of evil. Pray also for the LORD’s hand of protection over President Trump as he weathers this travesty of justice.
And the polls always understate Trump’s support as Biden voters are not shy about their support for him whereas Trump voters are more cagey when talking to pollsters.
When CNN tells the truth about President Trump’s poll numbers, this is after trying to skewer it every which way to benefit Biden. You know things must be really bad right now. Zaharia even admitted in his take that polls usually underrepresent Trump support.
Here’s my take . When “news” outlets like CNN actually report facts, this is usually the sign something is about to drop. What that is, I’m not sure.
However, I don’t believe Biden will be the candidate in November. Watch the Dems bring in a change of batter at some point.
Don’t avert your eyes from the rampant government corruption and societal decay you are witnessing. God’s light is exposing the darkness for even the most obtuse to see.
Wednesday’s Senate dismissal of Articles of Impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis, reveals a Democrat-led Senate spitting on the Constitution. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) issued a blistering rebuke on the Senate floor.
While I have my problems with Sen. Cruz, this speech is on point:
The House impeached Mayorkas for lying to Congress that the U.S southern border is secure. It’s not. Thousands of criminal invaders crossing on a weekly basis testifies of a federal government violating its Constitutional oath to protect American citizens.
We’re witnessing intelligence agencies spying on the American people. Before our eyes, the FBI has morphed into the equivalent of a secret police tasked with surveilling and arresting innocent Americans the U.S. Government deems a threat to its ruling interests.
In recent hearings, Rep. Mike Garca (R-Ca) recently told FBI Director Chris Wray what more and more Americans are thinking, “I don’t trust you.”
Shocking revelations in the last four years, show the FBI working within Facebook, Twitter and other social media to control content and manipulate public opinion to support the interest of the corrupt political class, mostly Democrats. The brilliant Sundance of the Conservative Treehouse, lays out the betrayal of the FBI and the Department of Justice here.
We’re seeing the show trials against President Donald Trump brought about by biased DEI puppets appointed as prosecutors (or is it persecutors?). We watch and understand the reality of sinister interests determined to deprive Americans of their choice for President.

We hear the silence of Republican leadership as the Democrats carry out blatant election interference under Lawfare. Where are the Republican leaders going to microphones daily, condemning the injustice against President Trump?
Yeah, it’s mostly crickets since establishment Republicans want Trump gone just as bad as the Dems and the globalists. Is it any wonder we’ve concluded leadership in both parties are bought and paid for?
Do you know that Congress doesn’t even author its own bills?Representatives and Senators instead, introduce legislation written by lobbyists working for multinational corporations and other special interests.
We’ve come to the realization of government pushing mental illness and sexual perversion as mainstream, worthy of civil rights protection. On the flip side, we see a government antagonistic toward family, Christianity and masculinity.
Why these three areas? It’s not difficult to figure out. Destroy the family and you destroy the bedrock of any society. Counterfeit Chritsiantity, and truth is lost. Demonize masculinity, and the protectors of family and country are cucked.
Put these three areas together and what does this all it add up to? The answer is a weakened country primed for conquest from within.
The evil we face bombards us daily and from all sides. Don’t avert your eyes. Steel your gaze so you will know what to pray for.
Prayer and fasting is needed right now. The evil staring back at us from the abyss is Satanic. This indicates spiritual warfare which means we ask God to intervene and use us on His behalf.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.–Ephesians 6:12 (ESV).
Christian men it is time to fight like real men, by getting our knees and praying fervently for revival in America. We must do so with love in our hearts, not with the hatred of our enemies.
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ …– 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (ESV)
Our weapons are heavenly , forged and milled with the absolute truth of God. And in these times we are living , it is crucial to put on our spiritual armor daily.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints…–Ephesians 6:13-18(ESV)
The rampant corruption we face is daunting, demoralizing and wearying on our own strength. The evil seems so encompassing because of the passivity and fecklessness of those tasked to protect and uphold the Constitution.
No longer put your faith in these weak men and women. Place your faith squarely on God through His Son , Jesus. Ask God to deliver America from demonic rule according to His will.
In Tucker Carlson’s latest interview, he speaks with former Congresswoman and now Fox contributor, Tulsi Gabbard. Among the subjects covered: Gabbard’s criticism of Hilary Clinton, her leaving the Democrat Party, and Gabbard’s potential as Donald Trump’s Vice President choice.
It is the last subject of Gabbard as VP that Carlson seems to push in the interview. While Gabbard has taken some principled stands, is former Army and says the the right conservative things, I hope Trump does not pick her as his running mate.
Trump needs a loyal outsider not a D.C. insider. I wrote about this in length here.
Personally, I’m not even sure Trump needs to place her in a cabinet position. Her value is right where she is.
