Former President Donald Trump entered the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to a roaring welcome from the crowd of thousands of Republican delegates, only two days after barely surviving an assassin’s bullet in Pennsylvania.
One of his ears was covered by a rectangular bandage as he entered Fiserv Forum on Monday, while people chanted “USA! USA!” and “Fight! Fight!” Hours earlier, he had received the official nomination from the party, after all state and territorial delegations announced their votes.
“Our Alaskan delegation and the arena as a whole erupted when the President came into the building. It was truly a hero’s welcome. We have the energy, we have the enthusiasm, and we have the candidate to lead our country into the future,” said Alaska Republican Party Chairwoman Carmela Warfield, who leads the Alaska delegation.
Nick Begich commented on how the arena was filled with emotion.
“Donald Trump was very clearly emotionally affected by the overwhelming support of thousands from across the country. Here is a man who only two days prior survived an attempted assassination and who knows undeniably it was by divine providence alone that he is alive today. America supports Donald Trump. America needs Donald Trump and we are united behind him,” Begich said.
Watch the scene in this video sent to Must Read Alaska by Nick Begich, candidate for Congress, who is in the arena:
I definitely choked up when he arrived…..I watched this RNC alllllll day waiting for him. The crowd was having fun and with the pick of JD Vance I feel like we have hope again.
Proud of our Alaska delegation. Agree with Carmela’s words 100 percent. This is our moment. There is momentum, clarity and urgency to win! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Congratulations NB on best fundraising quarter— YOU are supported by the grassroots and heart and soul of conservative Alaskans.
Congratulations Nick Begich III! I agree NB III is supported by the people of Alaska. NB III is FOR the people and FOR Alaska.
August 20 Primary Voting – Alaskans MUST vote for only 1 candidate for Congress. Every Alaskan registered legal vote please vote for Nick Begich III for Congress in the Primary Voting. Keep the momentum going.
There is NO rank choice voting in the Primary. Vote Nick Begich III for Congress!
Is Nancy going to pull out if NB III wins the primary? Warfield needs to have a talk with our Lt Governor who won’t even do her current job.
Divine providence is a phrase used often by our founders. We downplay and minimize its reality at our peril.
God bless President Trump!
And I believe tens of millions of Americans had their prayers for ‘protection and safety for Donald Trump’ answered Saturday when he turned his head just as the assassin’s bullet grazed his ear.
Howdy Kim, yes I was one who has been saying that exact prayer for years.
And divine providence is a ridiculous assumption to be making about the fate of any fellow primate. I’m glad Trump wasn’t seriously hurt and I think he has the momentum needed to win back the White House, but its ridiculous to think that a divine creator of the universe would care about the goings on here or protect one individual over another. That kind of thinking begs credulity.
For someone so superior and knowledgeable you seem to really care and be bothered by others faith in God.
Something significant missing in your life – a God shaped hole in your heart- that causes you to protest and fret so much?
When you write this way we see you. I don’t think you can see yourself though, otherwise you would realize how exposed and rather sad you reveal yourself to be.
I see you as well, that you would think so highly of another human being. Never mind that if god did protect trump, he made sure the bullet missed him and instead killed a retired firefighter.
You reveal your belief in something for which there is zero evidence. I prefer other methods of verification, that’s all.
Zero verification? You haven’t listened or read then.
Knock and the door will be opened. Deuteronomy 4:29, Acts 17:27, Matthew 7:8 and on and on.
I never wrote of anything about the shot and God saving trump and killing that poor man. But you brought that in. See one of your blind spots again. This is twice in one day for you. It get it. You are above average in IQ, but you rely solely on your own wisdom much to your determent. If you don’t fix this it will cost you big one day- if it has not already.
Good news is we don’t need verification to have faith you’re the best version of you that God created.
cman, your words: “Never mind that if god did protect trump,…..” Our heavenly Father’s name starts with a big “G.” There may be many gods, but there is only one true God and his name does not start with a little “g.”
Since I don’t believe in the existence of any god, I feel no need to capitalize its name.
Cman, you are suggesting everything in the cosmos, matter, energy, the laws they are bound by, the passage of time, life itself, all of it just sprung into existence by itself in the void of space. The problem with your suggestion is “there is zero evidence” to support it. On the contrary, scientific evidence and common sense dictate everything derives from an all-powerful creator existing in a spiritual realm unbound by the laws of His creation. It is the only true logical, scientific, conclusion. Common sense, and science, dictate something does not come from nothing. Moreover, believing your proposition requires far more faith than believing in the Creator. Search your soul my friend. You are not stupid. Your problem is not that you do not believe; rather, it is that you are in rebellion to the truth that you must submit to the one true god. If you sincerely ask Him, Yahweh, to reveal Himself to you, He will surely do so. Meanwhile, we pray for you to join us in truth.
Two hundred years ago we didn’t have a germ theory of disease. Illness was often considered a curse from god. Society progresses through scientific inquiry and doubt. Just because there are still things science can’t explain doesn’t mean “god did it”. That line of thinking is an ever expanding and elastic airbag.
cman, you remember Issac Newton? Most would argue he was the most influential scientist in history. He was also a committed Christian and wrote considerable works on the bible. While he had issues with the trinity, he firmly believed in God. For him science was a way to glimpse more of the universe created by God (and no we do not need to argue about timelines here). Just because we now know that there are bacteria and viruses, doesn’t make them less part of creation. Yes we can manipulate through science and technology, and we find new and exiting things about our world daily, but they were there all along, we just didn’t understand them yet.
Newton also believed in alchemy and the concentrations of mercury in his hair kept by his descendants are very heavy. Despite this, he was the greatest scientist of his day. There’s nothing about being a scientists that prevents you from being a kook. It doesn’t take away from his accomplishments, but it also doesn’t mean he couldn’t have been mistaken. Science is based on evidence and the testing and repeatability of results, while religion is based purely on faith. They are, as Steven J Gould said, “non-overlapping magisteria.”
Cman why can science and religion not exist equally? It isn’t an all or nothing proposition. Science in its purest form relies solely on observable, repeatable data and is the basis for our understanding of our current world. However skepticism comes when scientists put their finger on the scale and manipulate data to get the results they think they should get, not what reality shows. Science in my opinion is the nitty gritty of understanding the world around us, subject to vagaries of man’s arrogance. God is why we are here.
You reject faith that is your business, but your incessant declaration that all others are blithering idiots because they do not follow your example, is the worst kind of hubris.
I come back to my statement, if there is no God why does it bother you so much, since according to you there is no “there” there?
OK …..let’s pace ourselves, we have almost 4 months to go, so this is not the Oct surprise.
and the Communist never sleep.
God Bless DJT!
The would-be assassin was a programmed kid. A loner, with good grades. Studied the JFK assassination intensely in his high school history honors program. A regular at the rifle range, training with an AR-15.
Mom and dad both Democrats and Trump haters.
Had a ladder planted near the building which was used as a sniper platform. Was determined to take the shot at Trump even though he knew he was spotted and being confronted. SS was slow to neutralize him. He had no escape plans. A programmed assassin needs none.
He was an expendable kid, who was groomed for assassinating Trump = motive
He knew Trump would be in Butler, PA = opportunity.
This was a calculated hit attempt.
Evidence left behind = a dead assassin.
Deep dive investigation will eventually reveal.
He was decent, just not a Lee Harvey Oswald. One would think that if he and his co-conspirators were smart and wanted to succeed, they’d have invested in a $500 scope for the rifle.
This assassination was organized by others. The kid was disciplined to take the shot even if he was discovered. That kind of motivation us programmed through training. And Trump’s head was the target, not body mass, which means the assassin knew Trump was wearing body armor.
This plot stinks badly of some organizational planning and execution. The fact that very little is known about this kid is even more telling. I agree with Reaper. This executive action was planned by others.
The “others” were the media and the Democrat Party, who have been demonizing DJT for the past 8 years. Relentless use of symbols, rhetoric, and political castigation against Trump by CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times, etc , Democrats in power, the court system, Biden’s DOJ, Biden himself, liberal print media, etc, etc…..had a profound impact on this kid’s mind. He was being conditioned to hate Donald Trump. A target was being created by the Left. An assassin was being groomed, right here in America. It could even be your kid. The left-wing media is evil and wicked. It trains killers.
It would be worthwhile to review Crook’s high school classes and all of his teachers to check their politics and how they taught their classes. No doubt some lefties are in the school district who hate Trump. These ideas can be borne by a communist high school teacher, who is hoping to mold and transform students to hate Conservatives. Even kill. A bullied kid would be the perfect candidate to become an assassin. And, check to see who persuaded this kid to get active in a gun club and shoot AR-15s.
NEA trained assassin, no doubt.
So where is Lisa?
Has Princess finally joined the Democrats yet? Can’t miss her if she won’t go away.
She phoned Nancy and I and begged us not to attend the RNC.
Lisa visiting Liz Cheney in Wyoming?
God bless Donald J. Trump.
Amen. God Almighty bless and guide President Donald J Trump.
It was very nostalgic with the delegates busting the windows out to enter the convention center. Brought tears to my eyes with these patriots storming in.
