Re: President Trump shot at rally in Pennsylvania
the news alert popped up on my silenced phone at church while i was at praying before mass was to commence (its sunday morning here)
i prayed for his safety
the video shows that during his speech he grasps his ear and when they usher him away he has blood trickling around that region.
we pray for his protection as clearly the "organization" does not want him progressing to the presidency
Lord mercifully hear our prayers

Trump Confirms Bullet ‘Pierced’ Ear During Rally Shooting
‘Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening,’ the 2024 GOP frontrunner wrote.
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday night issued a statement after he was shot at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania just hours earlier.
The presumed 2024 GOP presidential candidate confirmed that a bullet had “pierced the upper part” of his ear.
“Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” former President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
A shooter is dead and an attendee was killed, officials said. Two attendees are critically injured. The former president’s campaign says he is “fine” after being whisked off the stage and is being checked out at a local medical facility.
The former president confirmed in his statement that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,” adding that he “knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.”
“Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening,” he wrote, adding that it’s “incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”
During the rally, the former president was speaking to the crowd when several loud gunfire-like noises were heard as he ducked to the ground behind his podium before multiple Secret Service agents rushed to gather around him. As he got up, blood appeared to streak across former President Trump’s face.
Multiple shots were fired toward the stage by presumably a shooter, who has yet to be identified. The suspect fired from an “elevated position outside of the rally venue,” said the U.S. Secret Service in a statement Saturday. Agents “neutralized” the shooter who is now dead, the service added.
Former President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., issued a statement on his father’s health, saying he is in “great spirits” after the incident. He will never stop fighting to save America,” he added.
Before former President Trump allowed Secret Service to whisk him off the stage, he made a conscious effort to let the crowd know he was ok with some fist pumps in the air while looking around at the crowd.
A spokesperson for New York Mayor Eric Adams told news outlets that out of “an abundance of caution,” the city’s police department will increase its presence across the city, including at Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street.
“While we are surging these resources, we want to be very clear that we see no nexus to NYC at this time,” wrote Fabien Levy on X. Mr. Levy said the mayor “has been briefed on the incident involving former President Trump in Pennsylvania [and] continues to get updates.”
After the incident, several top Democrats, including President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama, condemned the shooting.
I question the sincerity of several who condemned the shooting.
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy,“ former President Obama wrote in a statement, adding that ”we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.”
President Biden told reporters who were with him in Delaware, “I tried to get ahold of Donald. He’s with his doctors.
“I plan on talking to him, shortly, I hope,” he added.
The president added that there is “no place in America for this kind of violence,” continuing, “It’s sick. It’s sick. It’s one of the reasons we have to unite this country.”
He added, “We cannot condone this.”
In a formal statement, President Biden said that he is “praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.”
“There’s no place for this kind of violence in America,” he added. “We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”

July 13th is the 3rd apparition of Our Lady of Fatima. 
She saved Papa JPII on May 13th; I am confident that she also saved President Trump. I hope someone brings this to his attention.

How July 13, 1917 “changed” the Church. Hopefully July 13, 2024 will wake the woke in the Church and in the USA
https://aleteia.org/2017/07/10/fatima-h ... the-churchWhat Our Lady of Fatima did that day inspired many to convert, but provoked others to reject the faith.

Re: President Trump shot at rally in Pennsylvania
Wow, I watched an interview with this priest and he said the same thing about July 13th and May 12th as I did. I only saw his interview after I posted here. Hum, must be something more to it than just in my head. The interview at Pints with Aquinas is linked in the article. And, great priest by the way.
https://www.ncregister.com/cna/catholic ... e=hs_emailThe priest said that the Trump campaign contacted him a few days ago and asked him to offer a benediction at the rally.

Re: President Trump shot at rally in Pennsylvania
there were allegations of the police or secret service not acting in time or appropriately
one worker at the event alerted there was a man on the roof crawling to take a position and had a gun....he said he was amazed that the speech wasnt ceased but permitted to go through as he watched the gunman take position then fire several shots
for the bullet to hit trump above the ear.......what a miracle he is alive to be shot near the head region.....with such precision
theories are being thrown out about this and how on earth trump survived
God knows

Re: President Trump shot at rally in Pennsylvania
President Trump issued a statement of gratitude to Almighty God after he was nearly struck down by an assassin’s bullet at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
https://www.toddstarnes.com/values/trum ... ns-bullet/“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” the president wrote Sunday morning on Truth Social. “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.”

This is all beginning to smell really rotten. Candice Owens is also on top of this along with Russell Brandt. She makes perfect sense.

Re: President Trump shot at rally in Pennsylvania
yes and another bizarre twist
the secret service had to cover all areas except that one building where the sniper took position (was seen and reported by a ground staff but nothing was put in motion).....
secret service said that the local police had to cover that building
sniper knew which building would not be manned
the plot thickens

From Fr. Paul
Dear Friends,
“Bethel and the Trump Rally, July 13th”
Just now I heard that the city/town was Butler, PA - the location of the rally.
It was held at "Bethel Park."
Recall that "Bethel" means "House of God."
bethel meaning hebrew - Search (bing.com) (https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=41&q=b ... =1&PC=ASTS)
Bethel was mentioned in Sunday's first reading, the first part of the first sentence to be exact.
Nothing to see here!
Ha!
May God bless you!
Fr. Paul
