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: I hope our grandchildren see images of it in their history books and remember this as the moment when our nation turned the page on an ugly chapter...

The building the perp was on was to the left of President Trump’s position, as you look at him from the audience.

The picture of the bullet trail shows it going from left to right as you look at President Trump from the audience .

I’m a short woman and I agree with Macoozie. If women - or a male - don’t have the physical ability for a job, they shouldn’t get it

She left him completely open for another bullet to his head.

I don’t want a group of puny women showing up if me or my husband need assistance getting out of a building on fire, either

“We all must discern the will of God and then act to bring it each in our own gifts and ability.”

that’s beautiful.

can I steal it?

I hope that now some get inspiration to help/protect/follow/etc Trump. He needs an army behind him.

“I agree about DEI and I agree that because she’s short, she shouldn’t be a part of the screening detail, but she did put her body between Trump and the would-be assassin’s bullets. She did her job. Shouldn’t have been assigned the job, but she did do it.”

She shouldn’t have taken the job.
She’s not smart enough to know that she’s
too short for the job.

Calm down. I only said that I think she is too short to fully cover a 6 foot 2 inch man. My opinion. I never said anything about holsters or other skills.

It reminded me of George Washington when he was on the battlefield and were bullets just were whizzing over his head while he wrote his horse.

BREAKING: A source familiar with Trump’s security detail tells @FDRLST
that the former and future president’s detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden’s DHS.

DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail “wasn’t responsive to those requests” for more resources, the source said.

Was Biden’s regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?

True. There’s a lot of that sort of thing on Free Republic.

For example ,anything ever said by Lindsey Graham , causes people here to indicate how much they hate Lindsey Graham, rather than addressing whatever Lindsey Graham may have said.

“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....”

Yes, he did mention God in the audio clip. But he admits to being Hindu... and to my understanding, the Hindu religion does not recognize the God of Abraham, as we Christians do. Most Hindus recognize a “one God with many manifestations”. Hence, his “Divine Providence” comment.

If you have info that corrects this, please comment as such. Thanks.

yes indeed, there is no doubt in the minds of me or my family that divine intervention operated last night against the forces of evil ... this is not the first time that we’ve recognized divine intervention, including some that were personal, so it’s pretty easy to spot, especially when the intervention is so powerfully obvious as it was last night and when the forces of evil themselves were so powerful ...

and what was especially wonderful about this intervention, wasn’t just that the forces of evil were halted, but the tables were actually turned, namely the resulting iconic image of a bleeding Donald Trump with fist raised in deviance under the U.S. flag just moments after being shot, an image that was instantly recognizable as joining the panoply of the most recognized iconic images in U.S. history ... there is no doubt that that image will seal Trump’s victory in November ...

there were many other silver linings as well, including the likely immunization against future attempts to assassinate Trump by the Deep State ... they took their shot and failed, they kicked the hornets nest and were massively stung themselves, and any possible future attempts would simply be too obvious ...

also, from now on, the secret service will be forced to truly lock down security, greatly reducing the chances of any ACTUAL lone-wolf attempts, AND should Trump again rightfully insist on his own security forces joining and monitoring secret service security plans, the secret service will have no legs to stand on in rejecting such demands ...

Good points. Will be interesting to see if Biden now gives RFKJ the SS protection he had been asking for.
