Pray for President Trump!

Once again, the grace of God spared the life of Donald Trump, the most persecuted President in American history. He has survived two unfair impeachments, illegal surveillance, an unprecedented raid on his home, gratuitous lawfare from the Department of Justice and affiliated leftwing Democrat prosecutors, while being subjected to outrageous civil judgments, a mugshot, indictments, a politically motivated conviction, and an upcoming criminal sentencing.

After the first attempted assignation attempt failed in July, Trump’s opponents tried to derail his campaign by conspiring with ABC News to stage a rigged debate. Fortunately, it failed, and Trump is still positioned to win the upcoming election.

Before the evidence has been presented about the motive of the shooter and the egregious errors committed by the Secret Service in the first attempted assassination attempt in July, there has been another attempted assassination.

The alleged suspect in this case, Ryan Wesley Routh, is a crazed supporter of Ukraine who might have wanted to assassinate the President because Trump desires an end to the war. Routh was well positioned next to Trump International Golf Course, hiding in the bushes. He was equipped with an AK-47 rifle, a gun scope, backpacks, and a Go-Pro camera.

Thanks to an alert Secret Service agent, who engaged Routh by firing four shots at him, after noticing the muzzle of his gun protruding from the bushes, he was not able to kill the President.

After he was detected by the agent, Routh fled, leaving behind his equipment. Fortunately,  an observant bystander was able to capture his license plate, give police a description of his vehicle and he was subsequently apprehended.

Although credit must be given to the heroic witness and the agent who noticed the potential assassin, there are more troubling questions for the Secret Service. This incident should never have happened, especially after the first Trump assassination attempt two months ago.

After Trump was exposed at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, with the closest building not being secured, he should have subsequently received the maximum level of security. Incredibly, once again, President Trump was not adequately protected.

With the President playing golf, a street adjacent to the course was not secured, giving Routh access and time to set up his gear and prepare to shoot Trump. If not for the watchful eye of the agent, Trump may have been assassinated and it may have been captured on Routh’s camera and posted online.

Why was the security so lax for President Trump? According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, it was because he is only a candidate and not the incumbent President. He said, “At this level that he is at right now, he’s not the sitting president. If he was, we would have had this entire golf course around it. But because he’s not, security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.”

Really, after he had almost been assassinated in July! Bradshaw continued, “I would imagine that the next time he comes to a golf course, there’ll probably be a little bit more people around the perimeter. But the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done.”

No, Sheriff Bradshaw, the Secret Service did not do “exactly what they should have done.” They should have protected Trump and secured the perimeter, but they did neither. They allowed a potential assassination between “300 and 500 yards” away from the President with a high-powered rifle equipped with a scope.

In a flippant manner, Bradshaw said that “next time” President Trump plays golf, there will “probably be a little bit more people around the perimeter.” No, sir, there needs to be dozens more law enforcement personnel protecting the President on golf courses, at rallies and wherever he goes over the next seven weeks.

He is in extreme danger and the organization tasked with providing his security is either remarkably incompetent or compromised. There are also questions that need to be asked of the FBI. Was Routh on their radar, especially after his extreme online comments about Ukraine? How did he know to exploit such a vulnerable area next to the golf course?

The pathetic Republican leadership in the U.S. Congress needs to do more than hold meaningless hearings. It is time to use every power available to the House Republicans to extract answers as to why the President’s security is so inadequate.

It is time for massive upgrades to President Trump’s security detail immediately. There are gaping holes in his security, which allowed deranged individuals close access to attempt his assassination.

Trump has also been targeted by the terrorist regime of Iran, which has the resources to recruit professional assassins, who would have superior training and weaponry. Can Americans trust the Secret Service to protect Trump from more dangerous threats? Of course not, and this is why House Republicans need to take aggressive action immediately.

Sadly, as President Trump faced another potential assassination, his critics on the political left were making outlandish comments. Rachel Vindman, wife of “whistleblower” Alex Vindman, posted online, “No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.” MSNBC host Alex Witt asked a guest, “Do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence, or would that be atypical of the former president?”

This is utter insanity, as the “violence” is not coming from President Trump, it is being directed at him. Instead of calling for “violence,” President Trump made this statement after the incident, “I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER. I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”

President Trump’s courage in the face of these relentless attacks is inspiring. It should give Americans who love this country faith in his leadership and his commitment to “never surrender.”

In the final seven weeks of this crucial presidential campaign, let us pray for his safety and his victory, which is essential to save our country.

Faith-Driven Gold Company CEO Says Not to Downplay a Trump Victory

Anyone who receives correspondence from precious metals companies has likely received a flurry of fearmongering emails or texts claiming a victory by Kamala Harris will send gold and silver prices through the roof. This is not false, but one gold company is not only rooting for Donald Trump to win. They believe it’s going to happen.

Genesis Gold Group is one of the few in the industry that is actually rooting for President Trump in November. While most in “Big Gold” pay high-dollar Republican pundits to pitch for them, they quietly donate to and support Democrats. It’s no secret that the precious metals industry thrives when Democrats are in office.

Genesis sees it differently. Because they believe gold and silver should be viewed as long-term hedges against market turbulence, they have the luxury of supporting conservatives openly during elections. But as their Chief Executive noted, there’s no reason for Americans to shy away from precious metals if Trump wins.

“Gold prices were under $1200 an ounce when Donald Trump took office,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “By the time he left the White House for his first term prices had risen by over 50%. It seems likely they’ll perform even better during his second term.”

Rose, a Trump supporter, warned that those who are selling election fear are not positioning themselves or their clients properly.

“We understand the urgency with everything that’s happening in the world but we are still focused on helping our clients in the long-term as well,” Rose said. “Pushing doom and gloom may be effective for sales but it’s disingenuous and potentially dangerous. If gold companies push quick hits due to impending financial chaos, it’s likely their mix of metals in client portfolios are not ideally suited for growth.”

Not all silver and gold offerings are the same, as Rose noted. It’s important for those who are trying to protect their wealth and retirement to put the right coins and bars in their portfolios based on their individual goals and the economic climate.

As a faith-driven company, Genesis Gold Group does not shy away from praying with their clients, especially in times such as this. They have both precious metals experts and pastors on staff to guide their clients into making good decisions.

“We don’t have a crystal ball but we have an excellent road map,” Rose said. “That allows us to place the proper emphasis on important considerations such as bullion versus numismatics, bars versus coins, and silver versus gold. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to Gold IRAs that can possibly be effective.”

7 Takeaways From Josh Hawley’s Report on the Secret Service’s Failures in the First Attempt on Trump’s Life

(The Daily Signal)—The Secret Service missed several opportunities to stop the first attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in July, according to a Senate report released a day after the second such attempt on Trump’s life at his golf club in Florida.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., released a 22-page report Monday that says the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, and the FBI all failed to answer the public’s questions about the first attempted assassination of Trump on July13 during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“In response, Senator Hawley personally visited the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site to interview whistleblowers, opened up a whistleblower tip line, and encouraged those with relevant information to tell their stories,” the Hawley report says. “Since then, many individuals have come forward with information regarding the events of July 13—from the Secret Service, DHS, and local law enforcement, as well as private citizens.”

The Secret Service contends that it is working with members of Congress on oversight of the July 13 shooting, which clipped Trump’s right ear, killed one rallygoer, and wounded two others.

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the senator’s report and will continue to work with congressional oversight committees in both the House and the Senate,” Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring told The Daily Signal in an email responding to an inquiry about the Hawley report.

Here are top takeaways from the new report on the attempt to kill Trump in Pennsylvania.

1. ‘Gunman Would Have Been Handcuffed in the Parking Lot’

The Secret Service’s Counter Surveillance Division didn’t perform a normal evaluation of the Butler site, the whistleblower alleged. The division performs threat assessments of event sites involving protectees.

“The whistleblower stated that if personnel from CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder,” the report says.

The whistleblower said the Secret Service had ordered significant cuts to the division that could include reducing manpower by up to 20%.

Secret Service personnel also expressed alarm that individuals were admitted to the Pennsylvania rally without vetting. The whistleblower alleged that those who raised such concerns faced retaliation.

2. ‘Former President, and Not the Incumbent’

The Hawley report notes that during a Senate hearing July 30, Ronald Rowe, the acting director of the Secret Service, testified: “If you’re talking about Butler, Pennsylvania, all assets requested were approved.”

However, the whistleblower told Hawley’s office that countersniper teams and countersurveillance resources were not included in the request because Secret Service officials told the requesting agents that such requests would be denied.

The Secret Service denied the requests for additional security in part because Trump was “not the incumbent” president.

“The whistleblower alleged that officials within this office preemptively informed the Pittsburgh field office that the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources because Trump is a former president, and not the incumbent president or vice president,” the report says.

The whistleblower said the manpower request didn’t include extra security resources because agents on the ground were told not to ask for them in the first place, according to the report.

“Importantly, these resources included countersniper teams and CSD personnel,” the report says.

Members of Congress have questioned why Trump didn’t have more protection after the first assassination attempt July 13.

On Sunday, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told reporters that since Trump isn’t a sitting president, Secret Service coverage was limited.

“If he was [the sitting president], we would have had this entire golf course surrounded,” Bradshaw said.

During a Monday afternoon press conference, Rowe talked about both the July and September attempts on Trump’s life.

“Coming out of Butler, I have ordered a paradigm shift,” Rowe said during a press conference Monday. “The Secret Service’s protective methodologies work. And they are sound. And we saw that yesterday. But the way we are positioned right now in this dynamic threat environment, it has given me guidance to say, ‘you know what, we need to look at what our protective methodology is.’ We need to get out of a reactive model and get to a preparedness model.”

3. ‘Known to Be Incompetent’

One whistleblower asserted that the Secret Service agent in charge of the Butler rally was responsible for mitigating line-of-sight concerns at the site.

Another whistleblower alleged the same lead agent at the rally made decisions that “likely compromised the overall security of the event.”

“The Secret Service’s lead site agent on July 13—the agent with specific responsibility for the security of the rally site, including line-of-sight concerns—was known to be incompetent,” the report says. “That incompetence led to the placement of items like flags around the Butler stage and catwalk, impairing visibility.”

The report continues:

For example, campaign material such as flags were permitted to be placed around the stage and catwalk used by the former president, despite the fact that these items were typically prohibited because of how they affected the line-of-sight of those agents responsible for identifying threats.

The Secret Service also did not check IDs when issuing credentials that authorize access to restricted areas of the site, contrary to typical practice.

4. ‘Loose’ Security for Trump

The government whistleblower informed Hawley’s office that the Secret Service considered Trump’s July 13 rally a “loose” security event.

Among other things, this meant that “detection canines were not deployed to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner for outdoor campaign rallies,” the Hawley report says.

The report also says that individuals “without proper designations” could access backstage areas at the Pennsylvania rally.

“DHS personnel failed to properly police the 5-foot security buffer near the stage and allowed people to move barricades around the buffer,” the report says, referring to the Department of Homeland Security, parent agency of the Secret Service. Further, the whistleblower said, DHS personnel were not familiar with security protocols for campaign events.

“The whistleblower further alleged that the majority of DHS personnel working the rally were agents with the department’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team,” the report continues.

5. ‘Abandoned the Roof’

The whistleblower told Hawley’s office that there was supposed to be a security presence on the roof of what is called AGR Building 6, where the would-be assassin aimed and fired shots at Trump, killing one man, striking two other men, and grazing the right ear of the former president as he spoke onstage.

That rooftop was supposed to be covered by personnel, the whistleblower said, “but the post was abandoned because of the hot weather.”

During the Senate hearing July 30, Hawley questioned Rowe, the Secret Service’s acting director, about this point.

Rowe replied that law enforcement was “posted up inside” Building 6. He said “we’re going to ensure that state and local countersnipers are on roofs.”

Hawley pressed whether law enforcement officers had abandoned their post on the roof. Rowe replied that he did not “know that to be a fact.”

6. No Drone Coverage

On July 25, Hawley wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about a whistleblower allegation that drone coverage for the Trump rally had been denied by Secret Service supervisors.

The report provides more information on the matter.

“The whistleblower alleged that the night before the rally, Secret Service personnel repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally,” the report says. “According to the whistleblower, the drones that were offered to the Secret Service could not only identify active shooters but also help neutralize them.”

After the shooting, Secret Service personnel asked local law enforcement to deploy the drone technology to survey the site, the whistleblower told Hawley’s office.

The 20-year-old would-be assassin used his own drone to survey the rally area up to two hours before Trump took the stage.

7. ‘Poorly Secured’ Hospital

After the July 13 shooting, Secret Service agents rushed the stage to shield Trump before taking him to Butler Memorial Hospital for medical treatment.

Although the campaign rally wasn’t adequately secured, neither was the hospital, the whistleblower told Hawley’s office.

“The hospital site where former President Trump received treatment after the shooting was poorly secured, and the hospital site agent could not answer basic questions about site security,” the report says.

The report later adds: “The Secret Service site agent responsible for hospital security did not know what was going on and could not answer basic questions about site security.”

Trump: 2 — Deep State Assassins: 0 — Would-Be Assassin Identified as Ryan Wesley Routh

Update 4: According to Fox News, the would-be assassin has been identified:

The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Routh was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside Trump International Golf Club while Trump was playing the fifth hole on Sunday afternoon.

He was able to push the muzzle of his gun through the chainlink fence outside the golf club, authorities said.

He was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump. Secret Service spotted Routh and opened fire.

Routh was able to get way, but was later stopped by authorities and arrested.He was found with two backpacks and a GoPro camera.The rifle was recovered from the bushes outside the golf course.

Update 3: A press conference by all law enforcement agencies involved was held. Here are is the video of the 11-minute explainer:

Update 2: All indications point to this being another assassination attempt. It’s still technically unconfirmed but multiple outlets referring to multiple sources indicate a man with an AK-47 and a GoPro camera took shots at President Trump while he was on the 5th hole.

One important question being asked is how the would-be assassin knew Trump was there. His golf schedule wasn’t public.

Update: CNN reporting it was an assassination attempt:

Breaking…

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.

Secret Service is reporting that the President is safe and they’re working with local police to investigate.

The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe. @pbso will have more details soon.

Story will be updated with more information shortly.
