I find it unbelievable that everyone is calling for President Trump to reign in the violence when said political violence has been aimed directly at him. It’s like a cop stopping Trump for speeding down the freeway and calling on him (demanding) that he make other drivers stop speeding.
It really does remind me of when the democrats calling for gun control kept saying that when law abiding citizens lay down their guns, the bad guys with guns will see that nobody has guns but them and they will in turn lay down their guns……..remember that?
Let me put it another way so even democrats can understand – The left keeps referring to things Trump said 8 years ago, while ignoring what Biden is saying and doing now in 2024.
After the assassination attempt on President Trump, which left one man dead and two other people in the hospital in serious condition, President Biden went on television calling for EVERYONE to tone down the violent rhetoric. He said there was no justification for political violence ever (or something close).
And then less than 3 days later Joe Biden and his campaign team continued running those despicable campaign ads calling Trump a threat to democracy. I still say Biden doesn’t even know what democracy really is?
If President Joe Biden was serious about stopping the threat to democracy he would look in the mirror and point his finger at himself and say – “STOP IT JOE!” He could then in all good conscious head for the refrigerator and get his container of ice cream and sit in front of cartoon network and nobody would know. After all it has been reported that the White House staff has been laid off since Biden is at the top of his game from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (and doesn’t really need anyone looking over his shoulder except Jill).
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” – John 8:32
Americans have been hammered with this false narrative of what and who Donald J. Trump is and what we’ve been told from the pundits on the left is far, far from the actual truth. If you want to really know a man, look at how he treats his wife and his children. It’s real easy to think that Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he simply passed that spoon down to his children, but that’s not true.
Years ago I watched a documentary on how Donald Trump raised his children into the construction industry by taking them to a job site, turning them over to the foreman and letting them learn literally from the ground up. They each started with shovel in hand to learn and perfect basic skills. Early on Trump may have had a problem with women and marriage, but with kids he did it right.
What many people don’t know is that when he was young, Donald got into trouble and his father Fred Trump sent him away to military school for five long years (to straighten him up). It was then that he became involved in sports – baseball and boxing. He became captain of the school baseball team and learned how to stay on his feet or to get back up on his feet while boxing.
After military school Donald went to earn a degree in finance as he was very good with numbers. Then he went to work in his father’s construction business and wasn’t the first choice to take the reins from his father, but after taking over he was all about branding and exceptional workmanship, well above the average construction competition.
It was without hesitation that Donald Trump stopped a mugging in New York City by holding down the assailant until police arrived, and then proceeded on his way.
Trump made some bad business deals which were costly, but when knocked to his knees he always rose back to his feet and continued on, learning as he went. Trump saw opportunity where others saw failure and on more than one occasion he created a masterpiece out of ruin, like Trump Tower.
Trump likes to help other people and has done so repeatedly and without any thought of repayment back to him. Talk to people like actress Jennifer Hudson how Trump helped when she went through a family crisis; or that disgruntled former White House employee who had her New York wedding at Trump Tower, at no cost to her; oh there have been other examples of Trump’s random acts of kindness, just ask any of the soldiers stranded in California and Trump sent airplanes to transport them back to their military base in time for the holiday at no expense to them.
Donald Trump had dealings with some very prominent politicians always ready for photo-ops with him.
There were ups and downs in Donald Trump’s personal and professional life but nothing like the onslaught launched after he announced his candidacy for President of the United States and that ride down the escalator in Trump Tower with Melania in 2015.
Donald Trump’s life forever changed when he entered politics on the national and international scale and won the presidency and was sworn in as POTUS #45 in 2017. Trump may have thought he knew many of those politicians, but found they had turned on him furiously as he became a threat not to democracy but to their political power over our nation. That’s why draining the swamp caused a tidal wave of animosity and hatred that can be seen by those same politicians today in 2024 and in spite of battling legislators in both the house and the senate and of all political parties Donald Trump’s accomplishments: Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem; the Abraham Accords; and building the wall were some of his most notable.
To those on the political left Making America Great Again is an affront to the Obama’s “America was never great” and sayings like “all white people are racist”.
When told of the left’s characterization of Trump as a dictator and he will come after those who attacked him as retribution, his answer “Yes on day one I’ll be a dictator and seal the wall and we’ll drill, drill, drill and regain our oil independence once again.
Donald Trump’s reaction after the assassination attempt on 7-13-2024 showed his real character and it has changed the thinking of some major political players and has caused his support to grow even larger.
Trump’s calls for unity are being met by the same lies from the left and they are so afraid and emboldened to continue attacking Trump, but Americans who don’t fall for their false claims.
Do you want to hear directly from Donald Trump about his vision for America, tune in to Fox News’ coverage of the RNC Convention in Milwaukee tomorrow night 7-17-2024.
Whether you like, love or hate Donald J. Trump be assured that Almighty God is in control. – RTM
The 2024 RNC Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is on day two and in the aftermath of the Assassination Attempt on President Donald Trump who picked Senator JD Vance as his VP running mate, today’s day two theme “Make America Safe Again” should chart a new course for America with a renewed focus on keeping our president(s) safe again.
While Trump’s Clarian call for unity was coming out of his mouth, shots rang out as a lone would be assassins bullets creased Trump’s right ear, killed a firefighter and wounded two MAGA attendees in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shortly after this tragic event President Biden said everyone needs to tone down the destructive rhetoric. Barely 24 hours later, had Biden forgotten his own words as he launched into Trump and his followers as threats to democracy?
The 2024 DNC Convention is set to be held in Chicago in August with the theme “Decision 2024”. It truly will be a time for decisions over who will be better for the safety and security of our nation. Will it be President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris or an unknown X factor candidate like RFK Jr?
I remember back in 2006 when Senator Barack Obama stealthily took the DNC nomination right out from under Senator Hillary Clinton and never looked back.
In 2012 it was Senator John McCain who introduced Governor Sara Palin as his VP running mate and the politicians kept comparing President Barack Obama with Governor Sara Palin (Not Senator John McCain).
In 2016 the tables turned and Senator Clinton aced out Senator Bernie Sanders for the DNC nomination and it was Donald Trump who introduced Governor Mike Pence as his VP running mate.
In 2020 it President Donald Trump who ran with VP Mike Pence and it was Vice President Joe Biden who introduced Senator Kamala Harris as his VP running mate.
2024 appears to have battle lines drawn for at least one debate between VP Kamala Harris and VP candidate Senator JD Vance. Let them be judged as they stand on their political records – the good, the bad and the ugly. – RTM
Questions Arise after Assassination Attempt on President Donald J. Trump
After the 7-13-2024 assassination attempt on President Trump and as more information becomes available there seem to be a lot of unanswered questions as to how this could have happened?
I have just finished reading the book “Butler” by Salena Zito which gives a firsthand account on July 13, 2024, that is a very detailed and comprehensive look at the day that America changed and how the democrats and their left-leaning media continue to miss it big time.
What we’re learning is that in Butler, PA although the Secret Service was responsible for a 1,000 ft “bubble” around the venue where Trump was to speak, the areas of responsibility put the building in line of sight less than 400” from where Trump was speaking and under the control of local law enforcement?
Some of the cell phone video showed a man in white with a rifle moving into position on top of the building as many people spoke about seeing a man with a rifle, what has not been released was if anyone called 911 or spoke to law enforcement officers in site? Clearly Secret Service snipers were prepared to respond, but didn’t anticipate any such thing occurring.
One news outlet reported that a local officer saw the man with a gun, fired and missed, but when the man with the gun was pointed at the officer, the officer retreat. Why? Did that officer not report clearly suspicious activity to his superiors or to the Secret Service? Did that officer attempt to maneuver himself to a position where he could take another shot at the man with a gun? Within moments (seconds) the shooter began firing in the direction of President Trump as he was speaking and Secret Service snipers took him out quickly but not until the damage had already been done, one man killed and three men wounded (including Trump).
What is being reported by main stream media is that Trump fell after hearing loud noises that sounded like gunfire and had to be helped down by Secret Service agents. One headline was “Trump said he had been shot” and with blood covering the right side of his head and face it surely must have been staged, right? Some reports even suggested that this episode was staged for sympathy by Trump, even as one person was shot and killed by the gunman’s bullet and two others were evacuated to a local hospital in critical condition. Several media outlets said that Trump and his supporters caused this by their rhetoric from back in 2016, while saying nothing about the inappropriate campaign speeches by President Biden saying Trump was a threat to Democracy and should have a bullseye on his back.
Take responsibility for your actions, your agency’s failure and your rhetoric Mr. President.
Other information coming out says other than the shooter’s name and town where they found IEDs inside his van and bomb making material in his home, HLS and the DOJ still do not have any idea of his motive or even know how to unlock the shooters phone? He was a 20 year old male on a shooting team but has no social media presence and was a registered Republican.
None of the heads of the various law enforcement entities (HLS, DOJ, Secret Service or local law enforcement) have taken responsibility for some very obvious failures in protecting President Trump until during a congressional hearing the director of the Secret Service said “they failed” yet none of these department heads have resigned or have been fired by President Biden. These law enforcement agencies are resembling the Keystone Kops of yesteryear’s silent movie era.
Where are the rolling heads Mr. President?
This is especially disturbing as they are the very ones charged with protecting President Biden and many others as well. – RTM
It’s a given that when starting a new job employees may be required to don or wear a uniform or be subject to a dress code. Employee conduct that violates the dress code or puts the company/corporation in a bad light may be grounds for termination.
The same is true in sports. Putting on the uniform identifies players with their teams. Bad conduct on or off the field can reflect on the team as a whole as well as the individual player and result in fines, penalties and/or termination.
It’s no different when it comes to religion, take that car that exhibits reckless or bad driving behavior and that displaying a Christian fish or Church decal lets everyone know who you are or what you believe that is not what you practice in real life. What if someone followed you to that “reserved for pastor” parking spot in front of the church or on Sunday morning?
In politics it’s easy to spot the big blue “D”, “Biden” or big red “R”, “Trump” sticker and cause someone suffering from what amounts to political PTSD to have a total meltdown.
The same goes for social media. Certain words, names or images cause havoc with people’s psyche as they become triggers to “instant response before thinking” and bad things happen.
Why is it that posting about Team USA in the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris on FB is so offensive or considered violating community standards?
Pride in one’s nation sparks patriotism and garners exuberance and support during what amounts to the Super Bowl of Super Bowls! Therefore it is incumbent upon Team USA players to be on their very best behavior and demonstrate superb sportsmanship at all times while placing others before themselves. It is never the time or place to demonstrate political disobedience especially when they or their countrymen are on the podium as their nations flag flies in their honor or while their nations National Anthem is being played. – RTM
At 6:11 pm (ET) today in Butler, Pennsylvania during a MAGA rally while President Trump was speaking multiple shots rang out, striking Trump on the right side of his head near his right ear, it is also noted that 1 MAGA rally supporter was killed shielding his two daughters and two others were seriously wounded. Almost immediately secret service agents took out would be assassin 20 year old Matthew Thomas Crocks.
While President Biden was quick to publicly condemn this attempted assassination the media was still publicly treating Trump with contemptuous headlines “Trump say’s he was shot” and “Possible assassination attempt”. Social media posters falsely claim that “Trump set this whole thing up” even with Trump and 2 others wounded and 1 rally goer and the shooter dead.
It’s not surprising since over the past 8 years Congressional legislators and Hollywood “elites” have called for actions such as what happened today. After January 6th House Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have attempted to create a “disgraced presidents bill” and other actions that would strip secret service protection from Trump.
It has been reported that this is the first Presidential assassination attempt since Reagan in 1981, but is that even accurate? Remember when Obama feared Somali extremists in Milwaukee were going to launch an attack on him after he became the President-Elect in 2006? Have there been other under-reported presidential attacks that we have never been told about? Today’s secret service detail had both male and female agents and they responded rather quickly.
I was pretty ticked off when in 2017 a female secret service agents assigned to newly elected President Trump’s detail said she would not take a bullet for him. She was quietly moved to another secret service detail. Was she in the minority?
While world leaders weighing in on this “shocking” development, the left leaning media and left wing radicals still try playing off this shooting as a Trump stunt.
I’m trying to pin down a CNN story which suggests that “prior to shots being fired a sheriff’s deputy spotted a person on the rooftop armed with a rifle, but that person pointed his weapon at the officer.”
My questions, why wasn’t that person immediately engaged and what did the deputy do about it?
Prior to the start of the RNC Convention in Milwaukee, WI President Trump has re-written his opening speech to be more unifying and without the harshness of bashing President Biden, who on the other hand in his speech from the Oval Office has promised to “tone down” the rhetoric and bring the campaign back to the realities of his record and his policies, rather to the political mudslinging – at least until the RNC Convention gets underway.
It sounds like both sides are willing to bury the hatchet and not just a democratic figure of speech either.
I have just finished reading the book “Butler” by Salena Zito which gives a firsthand account on July 13, 2024, that is a very detailed and comprehensive look at the day that America changed and how the democrats and their left-leaning media continue to miss it big time.- RTM
The world is gearing up for the Summer Olympics 24 July – 11 August 2024 in Paris, France.
After the opening ceremonies athletes from many nations will be competing in many individual and team sports.
I stand behind Team USA as they do their very best, placing other competitor above themselves, stand on the pedestal under the US Flag, with pride as our National Anthem plays in their honor bringing national pride to the United States of America.
I urge them not to confuse personal political opinions with the solemn responsibility to stand in unity representing Team USA. – RTM
Publicity is the thing that gives politicians nightmares especially when it’s negative. Someone wrote an op-ed bashing the media for its coverage of President Biden’s obvious to everyone mental decline and more visible his gaffes. Oh it’s okay when Biden and his vocal congressional Democrats voice innuendos and outright lies about his political opponents, even of his own party.
Remember the 2020 debates where Biden and Harris called each other all sorts of unpleasantries and most despicable names even how unfit for the presidency they each were? We can see that now but was it okay then, right? Democrats have even jumped on the “never-RFK Jr” bandwagon fearing his candidacy would end up handing the election over to Trump. I’m sure there are some pretty smart people in the Democrat Party, but alas their voices are almost never to be heard unless it’s a fringe crackpot like AOC and the Squad.
What we’re seeing in Biden is a man fighting for his political life to retain the power he has grown accustomed to having as his name recognition precedes him. I have long felt and written about the Biden campaign and presidency having been a perfect textbook example of elder abuse. Why would anyone subject Uncle Joe, Grandpa Joe, former Senator, former Vice President and sitting President Joe Biden to such humiliation and disgrace when he should be enjoying his senior years in comfort and style? I seem to remember the age old saying about when the shoe being on the other foot?
Democratic politicians wonder why these “attacks” by the media have sunk Biden’s ship, but the complete opposite happens when they “attack” Trump, his following base increased and he seemed to thrive. Trump has been known to say something along the line – publicity is publicity so long as I’m not paying for it. It keeps his name on their minds and in the public square.
American’s deserve better than out of this world political spending that gives us a soaring national debt with an unreasonable economic future, higher gas prices, higher food prices, higher medical care expenses and a never before debt taking care of illegal immigrants, a non-existent southern border and a very weak national security and a foreign policy that can hardly be taken seriously by our nation’s sworn enemies.
We must come back to our dependency on Almighty God for peace, guidance and vision of a better day ahead and we must bring common sense back to the USA. – RTM
There’s a saying that if you find yourself digging a deep hole and you can’t get out the first thing you should do is put down the shovel (stop digging). – Unknown
Have you gone to the mountains or found yourself on a narrow dirt road or trail where it’s obvious that other drivers have created deep ruts as their vehicles have bogged down and at some point they have high centered (frame on dirt contact)? Suddenly you too have high centered.
What do you do? You try to back out and failing that you must think of the best way out. Calling AAA doesn’t work (no signal) and there are no other vehicles or people around. Do you pray? But will God hear you (remember no signal)?
There may be many options available, but one many choose is to abandon the vehicle and walk back the way you came in. An experienced driver will pull out a shovel and start digging dirt from under the frame, rocks to put behind the pulling wheels and/or gather branches to put under the wheels. Hardcore off roaders will look for a tree, boulder or object to anchor the winch cable and then pull their vehicle out of the rut.
Politically speaking politicians haven’t learned those lessons. The deflect blame on their opponents, slander or smear them personally, professionally, politically and as a last or final resort they employ Lawfare against their enemies.
Just who are their enemies? Conservatives cite the Constitution as the Rule of Law and nobody is above the law. Liberals cite beating Trump at any price, while marginalizing their voter base and demonizing the voting base of their opponents.
It’s clear that unless you are a dutiful Democrat voter toting the party line, you aren’t qualified to be treated with respect and are or may soon be a threat to their Democracy (power), just as anyone of the MAGA persuasion. They call us deplorables, unpatriotic and even want to deplete potential voters by abortion (up and until after birth) – that’s called murder.
It must be disheartening for them to see that MAGA supporters are of every race and every political party coming together with Trump to undo what Biden has done to America in order to make our country great again.
What goes around comes around and from what I see coming around are the same labeling as 2016 & 2020.
From the Democrats come the allegations of Trump wrongdoing, followed by Russia election interference and then continued allegations of Trump lying about anything and everything while ignoring the Biden elephant in the room. Biden’s cognitive decline is apparent to everyone and after the disastrous “debate” his own performance let the cat out of the bag (so to speak).
Afterwards Biden said “I’m fine, it’s just my brain!”
Biden handlers in the White House said he was just tired and Biden said Trump yelled at him.
We are told that Biden is at the top of his game from 10AM to 4PM and his daily schedule for today begins at 11AM and runs until 8PM with leaders in the NATO summit Biden is “hosting”.
Also from the Democrats come threats and allegations of potential Russian Election Interference over the Swing States by a former CIA chief of Russian investigations? Sound familiar?
Nothing has been said about the Democratic Election Interference by state prosecutors and judges in the form of Lawfare trying to keep Trump out of the White House.
I remember when Pelosi and Schumer were among legislators pressuring VP Pence to call on the 25th Amendment because Trump wasn’t fit to execute his duties as president.
Yet when asked about Biden dropping out, Pelosi said “she wants Biden to do what he wants to do.” It has nothing to do with “for the good of the country” either. The Democratic Party is divided by Biden’s decline and a potential for a VP Harris takeover.
George H.W. Bush might have called these tactics “Smoke and Mirrors” to detract and confuse American voters. – RTM
Now that the patriotism of the 4th of July has gone out of the American consciousness what’s next? We have been told that what we see isn’t real and what is real is what we are told is real. Don’t believe your eyes just believe the media and social media.
I have some good friends who are bent on telling me that by extension I’m going to destroy America if my presidential candidate is elected because that’s what they’ve been told and strongly believe. These are my friends! But are they really?
I could go off on them and tell them to buzz off. I could tell them to open their eyes and see what their political party and it’s currently “elected” President has done to this country over the past 4 years and what his agenda will do if left unchecked, but will that be enough? I think not.
There are members of congress who have orchestrated the downfall of America by their ignorance of the Constitution and history. They are pushing us to believe that we are a Democracy. I doubt they even know what constitutes a Democracy. We constantly hear that America fights to bring Democracy to third world countries that are fighting for their national identity and the right of their people to be free.
Free from what?
Free to do what?
My friends think that when we make things better for others, that’s all we need to do. We can pat ourselves on our collective backs and feel good about ourselves. But they turn a blind eye to what their elected politicians are doing to destroy our country and turn it into one of those third world countries and it doesn’t even upset them in the least.
Why, because they have been told lies so long that they cannot even see the light of day. Democracy does not equal Freedom. Don’t believe me, then tell me how is it that every nation that has Democratic in their name is either Communist, Marxist or Socialist nations where the only prosperous people who free are at the top of their political food chain? Money talks and a people who have the means to defend themselves are a threat to those who have the money.
Look at North Korea, China, Russia, and many other Democratic countries and tell me how many people do you see are caravanning or walking hundreds of miles, through all sorts of danger, how many are climbing walls, swimming across water or scaling mountains to get into those nations? NADA
It’s especially disheartening to hear American Veterans “kitting up” against true American patriots who are standing up to defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies foreign and domestic, the same oath YOU took and you call us enemies of the state? You better wake up!
Standing for the flag, the National Anthem and against evil is NOT un-American. It is precisely what this nation was founded on. It’s why our country went through a Civil War to defend against government encroachment of our civil liberties and the rights given by our Creator God and enshrined by the Constitution.
Your party has circled the wagons around a president who has declining mental faculties and the ability to command NOTHING, yet you are so bent on preventing Trump from being elected that your party has clearly gone off its constitutional rocker an “at all cost” mindset, regardless of common sense or what is within the rule of law = Constitutional.
Clearly the United States of America is teetering on the very edge of the very freedom we strive to give to others. Unless this infighting stops and I mean right now there will be no turning back the hands of time or prevent the decline of life as we know it = The American Dream. – RTM
