It took only hours for the establishment media in America to make clear they would be cheerleading for Kamala Harris, presuming she ascends to the Democrat party's nomination for president this year as many expect.

The nomination was thrown into turmoil over the weekend when Joe Biden, who already had accumulated enough delegate vote commitments to get the nomination, withdrew and endorsed Harris.

Within a day she, too, had accumulated enough delegate commitments to get the nomination when Democrats assemble next month, although there still remain questions about the candidate, and who will be supported.

That's when he said he got a "thrill" up his leg when he heard Obama speak.

Many ribald jokes followed that it wasn't actually a "thrill" up his leg, but a report from Newsbusters explained the background of his "sycophantic" comment.

It was in 2008 when Matthews said, "I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often."

It was in 2004 he said, "I have to tell ya a little chill in my, in my legs now. That is an amazing moment in history right there. It is really an amazing moment. A keynoter like I've never heard."

That was when Obama spoke at that year's Democrat convention.

Now, according to a report from Fox, legacy media voices have confirmed their advocacy journalism for Harris during this election cycle.

The report noted Harris "kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday with what some members of the media hailed as a speech that left them with 'chills,' 'blown away' and arguing over who jumped out of their seat higher."

Harris' speech was about her relationship with Biden and included a recitation of her complaints about President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee.

She said in her previous jobs, "I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump's type."

Donny Deutsch, of MSNBC, immediately joined her campaign, with, "There was a twinkle in her eye. There was a kick in her step that, you know, when you're vice president…you're not loose. There's somebody above you, somebody you don't want to overshadow them. And this was quite the coming out. I got chills when she said, 'Donald Trump: I know your type.' That was like, 'Wow, she's going to prosecute this case.'"

He, in fact, was "blown away."

"I was, like, I kind of fell in love with her. I thought she was smart, engaging. She's funny, feisty, twinkle in your eye, punch you in the gut. I mean, everything you kind of want. And I just thought it was a great, great opening act."

Tim Miller, of the "Bulwark" podcast, joined in, "Bear with me, I'm jumping out of my seat over here watching this. People have been thirsting for this."

And Maya Wiley, an MSNBC guest, agreed, "I'm with Tim – Tim, I'm jumping out of my seat higher than you, my brother. I'm just going to say that."

Wiley went even further, "tearing up" with her excitement to promote Harris.

"These aren't people who just show up for the public to put on a show. This is what you see behind closed doors. This is not just graciousness for political expediency. This is graciousness because grace is something that matters deeply to these two leaders."

CNN correspondent Jamie Gangel acclaimed Harris with, "What struck me most was that is fighting Kamala Harris. She is coming out, guns blazing."

And David Axelrod, a former Obama adviser, said, "If I were sitting in the Trump headquarters and I watched that speech, I'd be very, very concerned. Kamala Harris gave what was, I thought, a perfectly conceived and well-delivered kind of introduction to the country, introduction, reintroduction of herself, not as a vice president, but as a standard-bearer."

Polling shows Trump leading Harris among voters, even in some instances by wider margins than he led Biden.

WND had reported only a day earlier on rising concerns about Harris' long-established habit of unleashing "word salad" statements that confuse and misdirect.

One of her rambles was: "My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?' You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."

Another: "I think it's very important…for us at every moment in time and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualise it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future."

Pundits poked fun at her condition, but amid the obvious decline in Biden's cognitive abilities in recent months and years, Harris performances were little more than entertainment.

But with her ascension to possible Democrat nominee for president, with Biden's withdrawal over the weekend, there is new concern.

A report in the Daily Mail confirmed there "is no indication" that she suffers from a specific ailment, but said such uncontrolled speaking can "indicate brain injury, autism or serious condition."

Or it can be a "symptom of anxiety or over-confidence."

The report explained, "Kamala Harris's rambling 'word salad' speeches may be a symptom of a little-known but common psychological condition called logorrhoea — also known as verbal diarrhea."

She is "known for her jumbled, sometimes incoherent speaking style," the report said.

The report explained, "A 2009 study of the condition in Spain found the risk of logorrhoea was linked to level of schooling. Those with lower educational achievement were more likely to 'speak in circles,'"

It explained, "Logorrhoea is also associated with laughing wildly at random moments, something Ms. Harris has become known for, with Donald Trump even nicknaming her 'Laughin' Kamala.'"

Her cackling, in fact, has made headlines at times, too.

Another Harris stumble: "You need to get to go, and you to be able to get where you need to go, to do the work and get home."

Add there was her famed "passage of time" passage: "The governor and I and we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time. The significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children."

Many disputes arose a few years ago when the then-liberal U.S. Supreme Court created, in a decision condemned as unrelated to the Constitution, same-sex "marriage" for the entire nation.

One of the more vicious was a series of lawsuits against a Kentucky county clerk who declined to issue ANY marriage licenses for a time because of the conflict the court decision created with her own constitutionally protected religious rights.

An activist federal judge, David Bunning, took up the LGBT agenda and put Kim Davis in jail for a time. And two same-sex duos sued her for damages.

One of those cases was ended without damages, but another jury awarded each of the duo $50,000 in damages and Bunning piled on with an order for her to pay some $240,000 in lawyers' fees.

That's the case that's now going to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

But the goal is much higher than that single verdict.

The filing, by Liberty Counsel, which has defended Davis over the years since she was attacked, raises multiple contentions on appeal.

And the trial court mistakenly rejected Davis' contention she was entitled to a reasonable accommodation because of "sincerely held religious beliefs under the First Amendment and Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act."

But then the appeal gets to the real fight: "The district court erred by finding that Obergefell created a clearly established constitutional right that superseded Davis's pre-existing fundamental, textual constitutional rights to religious exercise."

Obergefell was the high court ruling that literally "created" out of a political agenda the "right" in the Constitution to same-sex marriage, when marriage is not even mentioned in the document.

And, the appeal charges, "Obergefell should be overturned for the same reasons articulated by the court in Dobbs," Dobbs being the decision that decimated the Roe v. Wade decision from 1973 that similarly created a federal "right" to abortion.

The appeal charges, "Obergefell's atextual rights creation was not deeply rooted in the nation's history or traditions."

In fact, the appeal explains "Obergefell was not grounded in the nation's history or traditions, nor could it have been because it was not rooted in any nation's history or traditions. As Chief Justice Roberts noted, the right that the Obergefell majority created out of whole cloth was inconsistent with 'the meaning of marriage that has persisted in every culture throughout human history.' Indeed, 'marriage has existed for millennia and across civilizations [and] [f]or all those millennia, across all those civilizations, marriage referred to only one relationship: the union of a man and a woman.'"

The argument points out that the then-liberal majority on the court "discovered in the Fourteenth Amendment a 'fundamental right' overlooked by every person alive at the time of ratification, and almost everyone else in the time since."

The fight, of course, would have to end up at the U.S. Supreme Court for Obergefell to be overturned.

Liberty Counsel explained the background, "In 2015, two same-sex couples who sought marriage licenses from Davis sued because she declined to issue the licenses due to her religious beliefs even though she referred the couples to other clerks who would. Despite Davis receiving an eventual religious accommodation from the state to abstain from granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples, the litigation against Davis continued. In Ermold v. Davis case, along with a second case in Yates v. Davis, two juries heard the same evidence and the same arguments in both cases. The jury in the Yates case awarded zero damages because the evidence did not support the awarding of any damages. The plaintiffs in that case originally asked for $300,000 in damages."

But, the report said, "The Ermold jury reached a verdict of $50,000 for each plaintiff and the judge also awarded the plaintiffs an additional $246,000 in attorney's fees and $14,000 in expenses despite lacking evidence to support the awarding of emotional damages."

"Kim Davis deserves justice in this case since she was entitled to a religious accommodation from issuing marriage licenses under her name and authority. This case has the potential to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges and extend the same religious freedom protections beyond Kentucky to the entire nation," explained Liberty Counsel chief Mat Staver.

Davis had sought a religious accommodation, and was granted one by new Gov. Matt Bevins several months later.

Her state legislature even passed a law permanently granting all clerks an accommodation to opt out of having their signatures on licenses for same-sex duos.

But the court cases had developed in the interim.

Davis had explained, "I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage. To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven-or-Hell decision. For me, it is a decision of obedience."

WND later reported that the case got a "Told you so," from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after the eight-member high court declined to review one issue of the attacks on Davis.

In a statement then, Thomas said Davis "may have been one of the first victims" of the Supreme Court's "cavalier treatment of religion" when it issued its same-sex marriage ruling, "but she will not be the last."

Thomas called Davis a "devout Christian" who "found herself faced with a choice between her religious beliefs and her job."

"Due to Obergefell, those with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage will find it increasingly difficult to participate in society without running afoul of Obergefell and its effect on other antidiscrimination laws," Thomas wrote. "Moreover, Obergefell enables courts and governments to brand religious adherents who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman as bigots, making their religious liberty concerns that much easier to dismiss."

In fact, since then the state of Colorado twice has launched attacks on Christians who failed to promote the state's messaging on same-sex unions, a baker and a web designer. And both times it has suffered defeat at the Supreme Court, including once when the justice scolded the state for its hate of Christianity.

Thomas pointed out the high court's decision on same-sex marriage was found "nowhere" in the 14th Amendment.

"Several members of the court noted that the court's decision would threaten the religious liberty of the many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman. If the states had been allowed to resolve this question through legislation, they could have included accommodations for those who hold these religious beliefs," he said.

"The court, however, bypassed that democratic process. Worse still, though it briefly acknowledged that those with sincerely held religious objections to same-sex marriage are often 'decent and honorable' … the court went on to suggest that those beliefs espoused a bigoted worldview…"

Thomas noted that the four justices who didn't agree with the ruling "predicted that 'these … assaults on the character of fair-minded people will have an effect, in society and in court.'"

"Those predictions did not take long to become reality," he wrote, citing the Davis case.

The former county clerk is a Christian, he said.

"When she began her tenure as clerk, Davis' sincerely held religious beliefs – that marriage exists between one man and one woman – corresponded with the definition of marriage under Kentucky law," Thomas said.

At the time, she was lobbying for amendments to state law to protect religious rights, he said.

"But those efforts were cut short by this court's decision," he said.

"As a result of this court's alteration of the Constitution, Davis found herself faced with a choice between her religious beliefs and her job. When she chose to follow her faith, and without any statutory protection of her religious beliefs, she was sued almost immediately."

Articles of impeachment, accusing her of high crimes and misdemeanors, have been filed in Congress by U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., against Kamala Harris, the current vice present and, since Joe Biden's exit from the race, the presumed Democrat party nominee for president.

The action originally was reported by Politico's Oliva Beavers and charges that Harris "has willfully and systemically refused to uphold Federal immigration laws, in that: In her conduct of the Office of Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris … has willfully prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice."

In fact, under the Biden-Harris regime, millions and millions of illegal aliens have violated the law and entered the United States without permission. This was possible because of the cancellation of a multitude of security measures implemented by President Donald Trump.

Critics of the administration have accused the Democrats of trying to build their party's numbers by luring illegal aliens and then putting them in the position of being able to vote by banning voter ID requirements and such.

The charges further allege Harris has "demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties."

The resolution cites Harris's failures to secure the southern border and the "disproportionate" price paid by "women and girls," including a 13-year-old New York girl raped in a park by an illegal alien.

"During her tenure as the designated border czar, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency 'encountered' nearly 302,000 illegal aliens at the southwest border in December 2023, the highest monthly total every recorded…"

The articles also cite the flood of lethal fentanyl brought into the U.S. under Harris' tenure.

She has failed to execute her duties, to preserve and protect the Constitution and has blocked justice from being served, they charge.

Democrats in charge of the House during President Trump's first term in the White House created an impeach-and-remove campaign against him which failed. Then after he was out of office, they oddly tried a second impeach-and-remove campaign against him, which also failed.

Graphic new footage of the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump shows the shooter lying in his own blood on the roof from which he killed a firefighter and injured two others.

The shocking footage, released by U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals local police standing with a Secret Service agent over the body of shooter Thomas Crooks, and appearing to confirm the 20-year-old had been identified as a suspicious person before the first shot was ever fired.

One man in a red tie and wearing sunglasses appears to be a Secret Service agent who tells a Beaver County Emergency Service Unit officer that the deceased male on the roof appeared to be the suspicious person to whom they were previously alerted.

With apologies to T.S. Eliot, his poem "The Hollow Men" perfectly describes the end of President Joe Biden's career. Biden is one of those political figures whose only distinguishing characteristic is his longevity rather than any signature accomplishments. He failed upward his entire career, finally arriving in the White House essentially by default at an age when he was unable to take advantage of it or even enjoy it.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was elected a councilor in New Castle County, Delaware, in 1970, spending an unremarkable two years opposing new highway construction. He won election to the U.S. Senate two years later at the age of 30 in a campaign that contrasted his own youth to the incumbent's advanced age – Cale Boggs was 63 at the time.

Biden occupied one of Delaware's two Senate seats for the next 36 years, rising to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1987 to 1995. It was here that he earned national infamy for the way he treated Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. Biden worked with Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts to torpedo Bork's nomination, accusing him of being an unrepentant racist. In 1991, Biden oversaw what Thomas himself called "a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves."

In 1987, Biden launched his first presidential campaign. Despite being heralded as the front-runner early on, he was ultimately derailed when Maureen Dowd of The New York Times exposed his plagiarism of a speech by British Labour leader Neil Kinnock. It turned out that Biden was doing a lot of plagiarism, not only of Kinnock but of Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, and Hubert Humphrey as well.

Biden apologized for the plagiarism but never stopped lying. He claimed to have been arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison, said he walked with civil rights marchers, and boasted about graduating in the top half of his law school class. None of it was true.

Despite having to exit the 1988 presidential campaign in disgrace, the people of Delaware saw fit to send Biden back to the Senate for another 20 years. He resurfaced in 2008 with another short-lived campaign before accepting Barack Obama's invitation to serve as his vice president. During that campaign, he told black Americans that Republican candidate Mitt Romney would put them all back in chains.

Biden's most famous moment as vice president might have been boasting about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, a gas company on whose board Hunter Biden sat, fired.

Biden declined to run in 2016 but returned in 2020, launching his campaign based on the debunked lie that President Trump had praised neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville. Despite the 2020 Democratic primary being initially led by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the party establishment circled the wagons. Biden won the South Carolina primary after having lost in Iowa and New Hampshire, and most of the remaining candidates dropped out and endorsed him leading into Super Tuesday. Biden promised to put a woman of color on the ticket as vice president, and accordingly picked Sen. Kamala Harris of California, despite her having previously accused him of being a racist.

Biden remained in his basement for much of the 2020 campaign, counting on the media to carry his water and nationwide mail-in ballots to do the rest. His term as president has been a series of carefully choreographed media appearances in between long vacations, making it increasingly clear that Biden was merely a figurehead for the deep state bureaucracy. The way in which his career is ending is yet more confirmation that America has not really had a president for the past four years.

As of this writing, Biden's last appearance was on Wednesday, July 17, shortly after announcing he had tested positive for COVID-19. He arrived at a Delaware airport and got into his motorcade, presumably bound for home where he would rest and recuperate. On Sunday, July 21, Biden's Twitter account announced that he had decided not to accept nomination for a second term, despite weeks of defiantly stating that he was definitely running.

Even though there was no proof that Joe Biden was even aware of this statement, the media and political machines fired up. Journalists posted paeans to Biden's supposed courage for being willing to relinquish power, while Democratic politicians lined up behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden's voice was heard on Monday afternoon calling Harris' campaign headquarters by phone, but that did not quell speculation about the president's true condition.

So ends the career of one of the most undistinguished political figures in recent memory. Rather than retiring at the end of his career and spending time with his grandchildren (including the one he refuses to acknowledge), Biden's last days are full of speculation about his physical and mental capacity as he vainly holds on to a veneer of power.

What a sad end.

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

My prediction in the summer of 2023 was that Joe Biden would retire from president of the USA by the end of 2023 so that Kamala Harris could run as the incumbent president and serve for up to 10 years.

My prediction was wrong. My assumption that the oligarchs and super delegates who run the Democrat party wanted Harris was wrong.

Last April, about three months ago, my prediction changed to that Biden would drop out of the race immediately after the Republican convention so that Democrats would have six weeks to dominate the media before the Democrat convention. My prediction missed it by two days.

So who will replace Joe? The battle to be the Democrat nominee will be fought in the black churches. And Democrats will not complain about violating the separation between church and state. Why will they not be complaining? Because Democrats will be violating the separation now just as they did with Barack Obama and Reverend Wright.

Of the seven battleground states (Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan), Trump needs to win four of the seven, and Democrats need to win four of the seven. Currently, Trump leads in all seven. Since Hispanics are switching in droves from the Democrat party to the Republican Party (macho machismo), Trump has a lock on Nevada and Arizona, and only needs two additional states from the remaining five, while Democrats need four of the remaining five.

Que Mala Harris should not be the Democrat nominee. Democrats would be foolish to nominate her. The oligarchs and super delegates who control the Democrat party know that she is a loser, otherwise she would already be running as the incumbent. Far left extremist. Failure as border czar. Dumb. And the Democrat party is not democratic, even if they try to make the nomination process look democratic. Gaslighting.

Open convention? Mini primary elections? All so that the oligarchs and super delegates can claim that Harris is not the nominee because Democrats used a democrat process to pick someone else. A lie. The fix is in.

In 2020, Biden received more than 92% of black votes and Trump received eight percent. About 90% of black men and 94% of black women voted for Biden. Today, black men are voting for Trump at more than 40%, so that the total black vote is 23% for Trump. Twenty-three, up from eight percent. Why are black men switching to Trump? Emasculated. Dominated by women. Gender push back.

So what does Harris offer? Nothing. With 94% of black women votes, she does not add anything to help Democrats unless she can bring in black male voters.

Instead, Democrats need to nominate a black man to pull black male votes back to the Democrat party. Black women and other feminists will vote for the Democrat no matter who is the candidate or what are the issues.

Watch closely how the black gender war erupts in black churches across America. Black men are rejecting being dominated by black women.

How about Andy Beshear? or Roy Cooper? or Joe Manchin for president? Probably not. All are white guys. Christians. Pro-life. Exactly what those Democrat feminists oppose.

As stated by me about a month ago, Wes Moore is the logical pick. Black male. Military veteran. Married with two children. Religious. Governor from Maryland. Business Executive. The only reason why he may not be the nominee is if he rejects being the nominee for fear of losing to Trump and ruining his chance to run for president in 2028 without Trump in the race in 2028. Then Democrats are probably stuck with Que Mala. Those discussions with Wes Moore are happening right now.

Citizens of the People's Republic of China believe the 2024 U.S. presidential election is a shoo-in for former President and Republican nominee Donald J. Trump.

Democrat incumbent Joe Biden officially announced Sunday that he will be removing himself from the upcoming election, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place. Biden encouraged Democrats to come together to "beat Trump."

"My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as president for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my vice president. And it's been the best decision I've made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it's time to come together and beat Trump. Let's do this," Biden shared on X.

However, Bloomberg and Business Insider reported Monday that Chinese political analysts and Chinese social media users believe Harris has a slim chance of winning the election.

State-run Chinese media outlet Global Times reported Chinese officials refused to comment on Biden pulling out of the race, and possibly replacing himself with Harris.

"The US election is an internal matter of the US, so I will not comment on it," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday, according to Global Times.

Newsweek further reported that research fellow at the Academy of Social Sciences Lu Xiang told Global Times the Democrats are in a "desperate situation."

"By replacing Biden with Harris, the Democratic Party can see if there is still a slim chance to win this presidential election," Lu told Global Times, adding the move was "rational and pragmatic," but probably came too late.

Harris was also given the nickname of "HaHaHaHarris" by Chinese social media users, over her habit of cackling during interviews.

A statement has been issued that Joe Biden is out of the race for the Democratic Party's nomination for president, which he already had won.

But he's still in control of the White House, the nation's military, and its nuclear football containing launch codes for its weaponry.

And that's a "frightening message" the Democrat party is sending the world, according to a long list of prominent commentary voices.

It is Miranda Devine, a prominent New York Post commentator, who said, "We're still stuck with Joe Biden as president for six months. He might have passed the political torch to VP Kamala Harris but he still has control of the nuclear football. Or maybe Dr. Jill and Hunter do. Either way, it's a frightening message to send to the world: The U.S. president is too cognitively impaired to run for re-election in November but he's staying on as commander in chief until January."

She pointed out that just a week ago Biden was "digging in his heels" about staying in the race, but charged there was a "deal" struck as "Nancy Pelosi and the Obamacans ratcheted up the pain."

"Of course," she wrote, "'working something out' for his benefit has always been the point with Biden, whether it's his donors providing grace and favor jobs at inflated prices for his wayward son and other family members, or President Xi Jinping blessing Hunter's lucrative business venture after he flew into Beijing with dad on Air Force Two."

Some of the assassination survival rhetoric from the right about President Trump is disturbingly messianic in tone. We witnessed similar talk from the Israelis during his first term of office, which is more understandable from the Jewish perspective of God-ordained deliverers – their history being filled with fully human and humanly flawed "saviors" from Moses through Judges to the return from Babylon by the intervention of the Persian King Cyrus. Indeed, Trump was equated with Cyrus on a special commemorative coin.

From the Christian perspective, however, the true messiah is Jesus Christ, not a flawed human but a perfect God in human form, and it is only the Antichrists – such as Antiochus IV Epiphanus in the time of the Maccabees (Daniel 11) and the still future end-times Antichrist of Revelation who claim the messianic mantle for their imperfect, demonic selves. Indeed, in Christian eschatology, the entire world (except for "the elect") will be fooled into thinking the next/final Antichrist IS the Christ – the chief Christ imposter of the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:3-26:1, Mark 13, Luke 21:7-36) and the White Horse prophecy of Revelation 6 (all of Revelation being Christ's expanded version of the Olivet prophecy as explained to John at the close of the Apostlic Age.) All prophecy is properly understood from the viewpoint of the Holy Land, the Israelis will be among but by no means even a majority of those bedazzled masses.

One of my oft-repeated themes in my columns is that I think Donald Trump is a modern equivalent to the Judges of Israel during the pre-monarchic Israelite Republic under the administration of the House of Israel. These were political/military "deliverers," but none of them were "the messiah." When, after 400 years, God wrenched power away from backslidden Israel and its capital Shiloh, and transferred it to the House of Judah in Jerusalem, the first true Judean King (conforming to the prophecy of Jacob in Genesis 48:10) was David, a Christ figure, but also not the Christ. However, a chorus of prophets states that the true messiah will sit "on the throne of David" in the Millennial Kingdom (e.g. 2 Samuel 7:10-13, Ezekiel 37:24-25, Luke 1:32-33.)

That still future event is the second coming of Jesus Christ, but it is preceded by the seven-year reign of the Antichrist (whose identity as Antichrist is hidden for the first 3 ½ years).

Preceding David in Bible history as the first transitional monarch of the new order was King Saul – a Benjamite, not an ethnic Judean; an initially competent King who descended into mental illness under the dominion of a familiar spirit whose chief mission was to destroy David. The similarity to the Biden/Trump relationship is remarkable. (Even more so if one contemplates Barack Obama in the role of the familiar spirit). Additionally, the assassination attempt on President Trump's life has its parallel in 1 Samuel 10:6-11.

"And it came to pass as they came when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine [Goliath], that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul, hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousand. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousand, and to me, they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied amid the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice."

Trump's "Goliath" is the deep-state lawfare campaign exemplified by special prosecutor Jack Smith whom Trump conquered immediately before the Butler PA rally, clearing his path to the presidency as the post-debate Biden-demeaning media (the minstrel women) began finally admitting Trump was the far stronger candidate. The javelin was the would-be assassin's bullet, which barely nicked him. It's not a perfect analogy, but the key elements align.

Notably, David escaped Saul's javelin twice, the second time recorded in 1 Samuel 19, so we may see another failed attempt on Trump in the weeks or months ahead if my analogy holds tightly. Further, the biblical narrative sees Saul dead before David attains the throne, which may be fulfilled in my highly speculative observation/prediction that the elites' best-case scenario for keeping Trump out of the presidency is for Biden to die in time to be replaced by Michelle Obama as Barack's new and improved Avatar. As I said, this add-on is highly speculative but plausible – and not fatal to the core comparison is wrong.

What does this all mean if Trump's second term fulfills the role of David in the biblical model? From the Jewish perspective, he could very well be perceived as the Messiah whom they eagerly await in Israel with virtually all pre-conditions having been met to receive him – including the elusive "red heifer."

I can easily see Trump endorsing the building of the third temple just as he bucked world opinion in moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem (earning the Cyrus comparison). And I can easily see that coming as a part of a global peace deal to end WWIII, which start seems ever more likely as the elites' last geopolitical move to try to keep Trump out of the White House. NATO/Ukraine provocations aimed at triggering an "intervention"-justifying Russian escalation are increasing dramatically. See this link, for example, which source admittedly has a pro-Russian bias but is usually careful and well-reasoned in his analysis and documentation. Importantly, this is also the official MAGA viewpoint.

Christian perspectives are divided about the end times, so in the millennial view of Roman Catholicism (in which the Millennial Kingdom of Christ is purely symbolic of the RCC itself) and the post-millennial view of much of the Protestant Reform movement (in which the millennium ended a thousand years after the ascension of Christ – putting the burden on the church to bring about its promised peace and harmony) there is no inherent conflict in seeing Trump as a human "savior" figure, so they might go along with it.

But to the futurists like myself who take the millennial prophecies in the Bible literally, the timeline of a Trump "salvation" of Israel, America and the world from the iron grip of evil globalist forces (the "principalities and powers") seems disturbingly to coincide with the emerging pre-MK Antichrist Kingdom – a conclusion I shrink from fully adopting personally despite the "math" I've outlined above because its implications are just too horrible to contemplate – and because I could be wrong on any or all of it.

I'm therefore going to vote for Trump and support him vigorously – while keeping a wary eye on his actions relative to the ticking prophetic clock of judgment. But I'm also going to watch for a possible near-term usurpation of Trump by my actual candidate for Antichrist, Obama, who has yet to make his big move in the electoral drama unfolding before us.

Having established that the lone shooter narrative does not stand up to logical scrutiny – a conclusion shared by growing numbers of common-sense Americans – questions remain that seem to invite further investigation. Simple logic is the rule here. We will be waiting a while on "evidence" from a compromised FBI.

The central question, appallingly overlooked by most of the talking heads permitted to speak publicly on the issue, concerns the stark doubts as to how Mr. Crooks chose the roof that he did, in the attempt on President Trump's life.

Many questions about the shooter are best answered by other questions:

1. A claim has been added into the conversation that the shooter used a drone for reconnaissance earlier. And he was seen, that day, walking in the area near the building he used. Did he spot a flaw in the protection and take advantage of the opportunity?

2. We now know it was pre-planned, as he didn't just happen to bring a rifle and then spot an eleven-foot ladder to a perch with a clear line of sight. What was he looking for?

3. Was he working from the hope that the Secret Service would leave a lucky lapse in the iron-clad ring of protection they are famous for? And that he would happen to find it?

4. Or was he simply confirming the information he already had?
