Our nation’s survival came within centimeters of a bullet’s path tonight. The same Divine Providence that guided our Founders protected Donald Trump today. If any good comes of tonight’s tragedy, let it be this:

Not true. There has only ever men “one man” charged with salvation. His name was Jesus the Christ. God raises an army each of us with our own part. God visibly saved President Trump to raise more of an army of righteousness. We cannot say that there is one man. We all must discern the will of God and then act to bring it each in our own gifts and ability.

She did something very stupid! She reached down to pick-up his hat, which exposed the President unnecessarily!

Common sense, in critical situations, is Gold! It can’t be taught, it can’t be bought!

Poise under fire is what’s called for.

Jesus also held the victims, everyone dies. It was not Trumps time.
The real question is how many of us are willing to take a bullet for freedom.

Did you not consider that if a 6’5” man were positioned there instead we never would have seen Trumps face. God designs things for a reason. Either you have faith that each was there for Gods reasons or you do not. It is not piecemeal. Every person was there at the right place at the right time to advance the will of God. Tearing this down is to not have faith

She was so short she did not block the photo shot of Trump’s face but someone much taller should have been front and center.

In other news the FBI is now calling it an assasination attempt.

Amen.

However , I am not holding my breath waiting for the Left to be shocked and change their ways and attitudes. I saw too much last night on social media, including one moron who was upset that the assassin missed! I absolutely lambasted her, and then had to deal with some other idiot, who criticized me for being “mean” to his friend, who is “a lady.” I’m glad I wasn’t the only one, but I pointed out that someone who posts that she is upset that a political leader wasn’t assassinated is no lady, she might be a woman, but is absolutely not a lady. I further pointed out that she was an adult, and as such is responsible for whatever she posts in a public forum - and that she deserved everything that she received back from me and other people. The interesting thing is that I read and posted all of this on a friend’s Facebook page and he later pulled the entire discussion. I subsequently spoke with him, and he indicated that this woman was pretty much a lost cause in terms of rational thought and decency. He also indicated that she had contacted him, and asked him why he did not defend her. He told me that his response to her was that he “only stands up for shit that is defensible.“

It is amazing how you ignorant and vile some people can be. I suppose that part of me will always maintain hope, but the realistic part of my mind understands that we are never going to defeat ignorance or the impulse to control others, no matter what political form the latter may take.

I’m a woman and I see his/her point. The woman was too short to fully protect Trump like the taller men.

Does Trump have the final say on who is picked for his SS detail? If not, why not? After this, will this be changed? Is his private detail distinguished from the regular Secret Service?

Major Garrett? Didn’t he used to be on Fox News? When did he turn to the dark side?

According to Vivek, it was “Divine Providence” (not God) on the job...whoever that person might be.

Maybe you were listening to a different clip than me... but I very clearly heard at the 25 second mark who Vivek identified ‘Divine Providence’ to be....

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

I saw last night where they show the sniper’s head rise up from the scope once he heard gunfire. Not sure if that’s the very sniper that shot the shooter dead or not as you don’t hear the sniper’s rifle.

How did she get on the security team? Who makes that call? God help us if it’s got anything to do with Biden’s cronies or else it will seem intentional. EVIL.

Yes!
Photo looks like the bullet
grazed the top of Trump’s right ear. One quick move by Trump to the right or left could have sent the bullet into his head.

Look, I’m a retired cop. And based on my own personal experience I’d choose a 5’2” woman who is right there next to be when the feces impinges the rotary cooling device than a 6’4” guy who is nowhere to be seen. That’s what I’m basing my statements on. And despite her height difference she was there in the fray when it went down. It’s fair to question where in the detail she may serve best. But it’s not fair to second guess her performance in the position she was assigned to by somebody else. She saw her duty and she did it. And as regards the agent who had problems re-holstering: let’s see how well you do when the range becomes two- way and your adrenaline dumps.
