It was also upon us.
Make no mistake, it’s not Trump the Deep State hates (well, they do hate him in ways that defy explanation), it’s also us they hate.
Who is “us”? The normal people that voted for Trump, 63 million in 2016 and 74 million that voted him him in 2020. And no, I don’t believe 81 million actual people voted for Sleepy Joe, but that’s a story for another day.
The Deep State, the Oligarchy hate us. Why? Because we had the temerity to vote for him and actually make him President once. Now, when it looks like we’re going to make him President again, they’re doubling down on their hatred.
The fact that he’s well on his way to reelection is a bridge too far for these people. And yes, that includes Republicans who are part of the Uniparty.
Ever since he and Melania glided down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, the Uniparty has thrown everything but the kitchen sink against him. Nothing has worked: Russia collusion hoax, two scoops of ice cream, two impeachments, lawfare, a mug shot, 94 indictments, the “convicted felon” meme, and now this: assassination.
And it hasn’t worked. Why?
Because the Lord’s hand was upon him.
Make no mistake, had Trump not looked to the right, the bullet which only grazed his ear would have taken out the back half of his skull.
I’m going to write more as events warrant. Was this an inside job? Why didn’t the Secret Service sniper take down the shooter when he had him in his sights? How for that matter did the shooter get so close (148 yards) to Trump? Not only did he have a rifle, he had a ladder. This was either an act of gross negligence on behalf of the Secret Service or it was an inside job.
Mind you, we can’t overlook diversity hires but that’s a story for another day as well. The head of the Secret Service should be fired forthwith. Period.
In any event, in churches all over America, services of thanksgiving to the Almighty worth offered for sparing Trump’s life. And for America: do you have any idea where we would be right now had the shooter not missed?
Think about that.
In any event, Archbishop Elpidophoros was celebrating the Divine Liturgy in Salt Lake City the very next day. In Utah. One of the reddest states in the nation. Did he offer a molieben of thanksgiving for Trump’s life or for our nation? Or for that poor fellow who died, while protecting his daughters from the barrage of bullets that went astray? No, he didn’t.
That too is a story for another day.
America is not over. Not yet. The Lord’s hand was indeed upon him.
V. Rev. Fr Patrick B O'Grady, Ph.D. says
I have checked, literally (sic!), everyday since Sunday of Pascha to see you two back at it.
Glad to finally see Monomakhos again!
The Lord bless your work.
Fr Patrick B. O’Grady
Esther Smith Holmes says
So thankful you have returned! I’m confused as to why you were gone. Will you let us know?
God bless you both.
Marie says
Hooray! hooray! Hooray,,,,,,
Gail Sheppard says
Yea!!!!!
Gail Sheppard says
Yea!! Times 3. We’re back in the saddle again! (Now, if I can only remember how to ride a horse.) 🙂
Hilber Nelson says
Bravo! Your triumphal return at long last! Yes, God’s hand was surely upon him. Continue to pray for divine protection for the entire Trump family and all who are boldly opposing the globalist cabal (now running the Dem Party election. “Thanks, we’ll take it from here.”) This goes for Steve Bannon, J6 prisoners, prolife protest prisoners, and more. And pretty much any dissident who dares to publicly stand in their way, Remember, tyrants don’t share power and don’t co-exist. They insist.
Gail Sheppard says
We haven’t forgotten about you. We want to interview you so you can tell us about all you’re doing with your own blog.
Gail Sheppard says
Write this down, George. We can use it! We’ll be calling this week to arrange for that interview. Although we’ll need your contact number again. It’s with all our old data.
Gail Sheppard says
Write that last line down, George. What a great way to put it.
Dcn John says
Yay!🎉🎉🎉
Gail Sheppard says
Hi, Father Deacon! Yea, we’re back!!
Gail Sheppard says
Yay, Father Deacon! Certainly time to celebrate!
Gail Sheppard says
Indeed. YYYAAAYYY!!!
Constantine says
Nice to see you back, hopefully you took this time off to evaluate how you respond and treat people who disagree with you and have changed accordingly.
Gail Sheppard says
Yeah, we probably won’t be changing, but we’re glad to see you!
Ronda Wintheiser says
It is a miracle that Donald Trump is alive.
When the 2020 election was stolen, I imagined Donald Trump coming back and triumphing over his enemies.
He already has, and we haven’t even voted yet.
And what happened — this miracle — reminded me of Romans 13:1: “…For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”
I did, and still do have reservations that the thing could be stolen again. And I have friends who are despondent because of that theft and believe it is futile to vote this time.
But if God intends to establish Donald Trump as President again, I want to be part of it.
🙂
George B says
Glad to have you back online George and Gail.
Regarding the state of our nation, as Solzhenitsyn said, “He who chooses the lie as his principle inevitably chooses violence as his method.”
Gail Sheppard says
Write that down, George. Good thing to remember.
George Michalopulos says
Indeed. Solzhenytsin is a wealth of wisdom.
Dionysia says
Hurrah !
Welcome Back George and Gail
Gail Sheppard says
Hey, my friend. Good to have YOU back! (This lady has the best take on all the intel we receive.)
Anna says
Hello George & Gail!!! I missed you two and this blog as well as the commentors.
May God bless you both and this blog. I pray for President Trump and all of his family and can’t imagine how horrible it would be if the assassin hadn’t missed.
Anna
Gail Sheppard says
We missed you too. What a horrible ordeal that was. But at the same time, reassuring. God is still very present.
Fr David Hovik says
WELCOME BACK! I am so happy to see that you are up and running again.
Fr David
Gail Sheppard says
Thank you, Father, and thank you for your contribution to our success. It was badly needed and completely necessary. What I didn’t know about Microsoft was pretty astounding. Having someone who made himself availble check and double check my progress and take on the legal mumble jumble for me was critical. Such a good man and such a good friend. Thank you, Father, for taking care of us and finding the resources we needed.
Father Wilson says
Wonderful to see you back! You are irreplaceable,
Gail Sheppard says
Oh, so good to see you here too! You are never far from my heart.
Dima Bobroff says
I was checking every day. Glad to see you back!
Brendan says
Moi aussi!
David P. says
Great to have y’all back! Hope all is well! Looking forward to future content!
Brian says
Welcome back.
George Michalopulos says
Good to be back!
Alex says
Alleluia!
