‘America is not ready for what comes next’ and Elon Musk ‘fully endorses’ Donald Trump for president and says Secret Service head must resign
Donald Trump after assassination attempt

There are many questions and concerns related to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Notice the following:
America is not ready for what comes next
July 14, 2024
Someone just attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump. We don’t … why, but we know they came terribly close to succeeding.
We should all be terrified about what comes next.
American politics has recently become trapped in a state of simultaneous stability and instability. It is stable in the sense that there are clearly defined and seemingly unshakeable partisan divisions. It is unstable in the sense that those divisions have grown so deep and so bitter that they threaten the basic faith in political coexistence that any democracy needs to survive. … The more people hate and fear their political opponents, the more likely they are to go outside the law to try to stop them.
And when someone on one side is attacked, the other becomes more likely to respond in kind. The ultimate fear is a cycle of violence akin to Italy’s “Years of Lead”: a roughly 15-year period beginning in 1969 in which extreme left and extreme right militias perpetrated a spree of bombings and assassinations.
At the time, I wrote that the “most likely flashpoint” for violent escalation was “a presidential election.”
Political violence tends to be emotional, perpetrated by angry people who have poor impulse control. …
And it’s not like either party’s leadership is especially trustworthy at this particular moment. President Biden has clearly declined with age and is fighting to maintain his role as nominee. Trump is a victim now, but he’s still the same man he was before it happened. Biden is a steady leader but in a poor position to handle a crisis; Trump is a demagogue who is more likely to raise tensions rather than lower them. …
A gunman’s bullet has just sent the country hurtling into an abyss. The only question now is how far we fall. https://www.vox.com/politics/360428/trump-assassination-attempt-pennsylvania-shooting-politics

A shooting at Donald Trump‘s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, law enforcement officials say.
Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide reacted to the shooting.
The Secret Service said it killed the suspected shooter, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue. …
- The FBI named Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the suspected shooter behind the assassination attempt.
- Latest on the victims: State police have identified the person who was killed and two people who were critically injured — all adult males — but didn’t release names at a news briefing early Sunday. …
- Records show 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn in to office. https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024
Less than a week ago, Newsweek, like some others, warned about possible violence:
Brace for Election Violence. …
July 10, 2024
It’s time for people to start thinking about and planning a response to the next round of possible election contestation and violence. …
Even if Trump didn’t orchestrate the aggression against U.S. government property and democratic processes, even if he is not leading the Stop the Steal movement, it is easy to look around and see that those initiatives were and continue to be supported by a complex ecosystem of pundits, elected officials, and media outlets who have propelled disinformation and stoked distrust in our electoral system. It’s a powerful force.
Yet, according to experts on nonviolent collective action, there’s a force more powerful than violence. Now, roughly four months from the November election, it’s up to citizens to dig deeper and find ways to come together across our divides so that we can raise our voices in harmony against political violence. We must be prepared to stand together in nonviolent collective action to stop election fraud in 2024. We must continue the tough work of (re)building our trust in each other despite our differences. …
If there are new attempts to deploy violence to manipulate election outcomes later this year, those of us who believe in the power of nonviolence, dialogue, and unity in diversity need to be … organized … https://www.newsweek.com/brace-election-violence-work-prevent-it-opinion-1923394
If Donald Trump is elected and keeps his pledge to deport illegal aliens, there will be a lot of violence and civil unrest in the USA. If a Democrat is declared the winner, political protests are likely.
Tucker Carlson said someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump last year, but Forbes called that a conspiracy theory:
Former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has repeatedly pedaled a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump will be the target of an assassination plot, most recently saying in an interview the U.S. is “speeding toward” the former president’s assassination—an unfounded claim amplified by other right-wing media personalities. …
Carlson’s conspiracy theory is sparked by escalated legal pressures faced by Trump, and vaguely claims an assassination against Trump is the next step from political opponents after the former president’s two impeachments and four indictments.
The former Fox News host repeated his unfounded claim in an interview with podcaster Adam Carolla this week, saying “we’re speeding toward [Trump’s] assassination” before accusing the Democratic and Republican parties of being so threatened by Trump, “they just can’t have him.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2023/09/02/tucker-carlsons-trump-assassination-conspiracy-theory-explained-where-it-started-who-is-pushing-it/
The mainstream media often dismisses items as unfounded, yet without having a foundation for doing so.
That said, Elon Musk made some comments related to Donald Trump and the assassination attempt:
Elon Musk “Fully Endorses Donald Trump For President”; Says Secret Service Must Resign
July 14, 2024
Elon Musk has endorsed Donald Trump for president, after the presidential hopeful was shot at a Pennsylvania rally.
Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), used the platform to tell his 189m followers:
“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery”
He then reposted a report from a man claiming to be a eye witness, who told BBC News that he had informed police and Secret Service about a man on the roof with a rifle.
Musk wrote:
“The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”
He also reposted another message from someone asking how such an apparent line of sight between the roof and Trump’s position on the platform had not been secured, and Musk added:
“Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign.” https://deadline.com/2024/07/elon-musk-fully-endorses-donald-trump-for-president-after-pennsylvaia-shooting-1236009762/
Last night, on the news, I watched a man who explained that he pointed to the potential shooter in an attempt to alert police of a threat to Donald Trump. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump was shot at.
This is a massive failure of security and a breakdown inside the secret service. https://t.co/95ehM643Lc

When looking at the circumstances in favor of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the identified alleged suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, PA, it’s hard to see how the guy failed. Almost every Secret Service security protocol seems to have been ignored, allowing Crooks easy
The rooftop used by Crooks was a mere 140 yards away from the event with a clear line of sight to the right of Trump. Those familiar with precision shooting know that any shot within 300 yards is considered easy for a moderately trained rifleman. With the right caliber an expert can hit a torso sized target consistently at 1000 yards or more. At 140 yards any amateur should be able to hit a pie plate-sized target with little difficulty, even without a magnified optic.
The Secret Service is supposed to secure all obvious “sniper perches” well before the arrival of a protectee – Meaning, nearby rooftops and buildings are supposed to have a security presence in place along with drone surveillance. In the case of Butler, PA, this was apparently not done. SS snipers were only present on the building right behind the venue stage. …
The idea of Crooks being able to get that close with an elevated position on the stage is unthinkable. Another fail was the lack of sight obstructions put in place near the stage. The Secret Service is supposed to erect barriers to block the line of sight from potential shooting locations. Again, this was not done.
Finally, there’s the dismal lack of response time. Witnesses outside the event report that they saw Thomas Crooks climbing to the building rooftop with his rifle at least three minutes before he started shooting. They claim they tried to warn police and Secret Service agents to no avail. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/massive-secret-service-failure-led-nearly-successful-assassination-donald-trump
Irrespective of what the Secret Service did and did not do, the assassination attempt was wrong.
Various ones have commented that this attempt and Donald Trump’s reaction to it will get him more votes.
As far as voting goes, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible New Prophecy YouTube channel:
Should Christians Vote in 2024?
There are elections in over 50 nations scheduled for 2024. How old is democracy? Does the Bible sanction it? Do people often act like they want to be deceived? Are there men on the ballots that meet the Bible’s criteria for leaders? How does the Bible show that leaders are to be put in place? Is the lesser of two evils still evil? Does the Bible teach that, “the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men in Daniel 4:17? Could someone vote against God’s plan? Do people know more than a prophet of God when it comes to choosing leaders? Are there truly pro-voting scriptures in the Bible? Are God’s people to support a crowd in doing evil? Will voting change the coming destruction that the Bible prophesies? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.
Here is a link to the video: Should Christians Vote in 2024?
Destruction is coming to the USA–as well as its British-descended allies (UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand)–and it will be worse than most people will believe–no matter who anyone will vote for.
