History does not necessarily repeat itself, but it rhymes. But for God’s intervention, we came perilously close to a presidential assassination. Requests for additional Secret Service manpower by the Trump team had been repeatedly turned down leaving them with reduced numbers to keep an eye on 50,000 gathered for a rally leaving the former president fully exposed and in the open without even a shield (glass shield, in the modern age) in what became a field of battle.
The same thing was reported to have happened in a very old book to Uriah (2 Samuel 11 ff).
What a close call for such a dear man as President Trump (I called him President Trump instead of former President Trump because to my way of thinking he has been the only true honest to goodness leader this nation has had since he was first elected).
Recently I had occasion to visit my grandchildren in Rutland, Vermont. I was in line at a grocery store when a gentleman came up behind me with 3 cellophane wrapped packages of flowers in his hand. He seemed to be in a hurry saying he was late to his own birthday party. I asked him how old he was and he replied, “92”. I motioned for him to go ahead of me, but we were in a fairly long line and there was time to chat. It was the Friday immediately following the presidential debate the preceding Thursday night. I asked him if he had watched the debate the night before.
Instead of commenting on the debate itself, he said that he had known Jill Biden since she was newborn baby since his sister and Jill’s mother were best friends and they all lived in same neighborhood in New Jersey at the time. He said this business of wanting to be called “Doctor” (referring to the fact that Jill Biden has a doctorate degree in education was a “bunch of stuff”. He said he had been in education for 35 years and he volunteers to teach veterans. The line began to move and as he laid his flowers on the conveyor belt for the cashier to ring up, he turned to me and said, “Jill’s mother called my sister and said “Jill has taken up with one of the worst S.O.B.’s in Washington by the name of Joe Biden”. He said Jill’s mother was very upset but there was nothing she could do to talk Jill out of it. I helped him get a paper bag to put his flowers in which he said he was taking to some ladies at the party. When I asked how he wound up in Vermont, he said he and his wife were the first ones to move into the new condominiums at Pico Ski Resort there in Rutland and that he lost his wife to breast cancer 20 years ago. I asked for his name and phone number and he wrote it on a ripped off piece of the paper bag.
His name is Bob Capuchi and he struck me as a very decent man with a lot of good common sense. Although he had given me his phone number if I wanted to talk further, as yet I have not called him. I am almost afraid what else I will learn. If I had to guess, he would most likely confirm what all of us already know – that Jill was not attracted to Joe out of love but rather for the ‘love of power’ which has played out in her ‘love of being president’ and her elder abuse of Joe – forcing him to stumble up to the next teleprompter and make half enough sense to maintain her franchise of power.
What a sordid mess at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Trump told us a short while back that he has been told that Hunter Biden is calling all the shots. Heaven forbid! Jill suddenly figures strongly in that equation along with Kamala Harris (who along with Jill has been instrumental in the great cover up of Biden’s cognitive state and his ever increasing deterioration over the past 3 ½ years) joined by Hunter Biden who left a breadcrumb trail of his addiction (cocaine powder) throughout the White House. (covered up by Biden’s head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, whose gross – or ordered – incompetence almost cost President Trump his life)
I’d say it has been a conspiracy of the three to take over the presidency and be the ones who give the orders, but I don’t think that they are intelligent enough to act in concert in a conspiracy. One thing for sure, when the camera looked into Biden’s eyes at the debate no one was home. Somebody is making the decisions for this man. He is only being given his note cards; where to go, where to stand, when to eat his vegetables – like a child. Thus, because of his progressive mental decline, we have a child in the White House and 3 irresponsible adults making his decisions for him (or maybe just 2, Jill and Hunter because we are told that Jill has never fully forgiven Kamala for the way she laid into Joe during their initial Presidential debate, calling him a racist.) Thus, by means of deduction, we arrive at the conclusion that 2 people, Jill and her son, Hunter, are manning the levers of power and decision making in the White House.
As an example of the decisions that Jill and Hunter are making let’s start with the request of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for secret service protection. The Secret Service comes under the executive branch of government (the president). Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was denied Secret Service protection. Yes, the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle (a Biden appointee who has proven herself grossly incompetent), would have been the one to have denied Kennedy Secret Service protection in his run for the presidency, but given the fact that both his father and uncle had themselves been assassinated, she would not have flatly turned down his request without checking with the White House (the levers of power, Jill and Hunter).
No wonder they are telling Joe not to fire this head of the Secret Service. A disgruntled former employee is quick to let it be known who is really making the decisions at the White House, and I wonder what else she could tell us, Has Cheatle handpicked a 1st string and a 2nd string and maybe even a 3rd string among the secret service agents? Do Jill and Hunter insist that the 1st string (the varsity) be reserved for President Biden only? (Especially if he is speaking in one city and President Trump in another distant city the same date) Was President Trump doled out the leftovers? (the 2nd string that usually sits out the game on the bench) Who decided that a 5ft 4in very sincere woman was a proper frontal body shield for President Trump who is well over 6 ft tall? He was left wide open!
No chain is stronger than its weakest link, and no human body shield is safer than the shortest person forming that shield. Shouldn’t this be Protection Policy 101? Had this junior varsity of the Secret Service (all very sincere in being willing to put their bodies between bullets and the president) been properly instructed on a plan for this location?
And had they practiced an escape plan? The 5ft 4in female officer was heard to say, as they were all still down and out of sight, “Where are we going?” Apparently, they had not even practiced whisking the president out of there in seconds. Somebody had been practicing when Ronald Reagan was shot. When you watch that footage, he was whisked into the back of the limousine in milliseconds. Good Heavens, now President Trump looked for his shoes which he was asking for and they had to convince him not to stay and continue talking which he wanted to do (bless his heart!). Just think, the terrorists of the world are watching this and laughing at us!
Is it true what we hear that President Trump’s team has repeatedly requested additional Secret Service protection and has been denied it? That means Jill and Hunter have denied it. Congress is going to find out. If Trump’s people had been given sufficient man power (and a least one member of the A team), they could have spotted that sniper perch in a direct line of fire to the podium at which President Trump would be speaking and posted Secret Service men on all 4 corners of that building instead of depending on local law enforcement because they were shorthanded and when the worst happens this incompetent head of the Secret Service plays the blame game “local law enforcement were supposed to take care of the area immediately outside the perimeter”.
That is like the captain of the Titanic saying “somebody else was supposed to watch out for icebergs, not me”. He knew the buck stopped with him and in the tradition of the sea, willingly went down with his ship. Kimberley Cheatle won’t even get wet – she refuses to resign. In the Biden White House, whenever something goes wrong, it’s like a cold night – everybody is trying to cover up, and if they are caught, they jump ship – or if they are not brave enough to jump overboard, they steal away and leave the ship dressed up like a woman aboard a lifeboat.
Another question that Congress is going to be asking, “Why no protective glass around the president?” Are we short of money? Can we only afford one set of protective glass such that we are forced to give priority as to where it is most needed – to a current president and not a former president? Maybe the bulletproof glass is on back order. Supply chain problems? The gross failure to have this goes beyond words! Uriah was left on the front lines without even a shield. They had a million excuses for it, but even an 8th grade child would have pointed to the lack of this routine shielding. It’s more than an oversight. It’s more than an accidental omission. It’s more than ‘somebody forgot to load it in the truck’. It was an ordered omission? By whom?
They will be brazen enough to claim that Trump’s team turned it down – just like they will claim that they offered additional Secret Service manpower but Trump’s team turned it down. Just think how close we came to a casket lying in state in the rotunda of the Capitol.
And we know who ultimately is behind the decision to leave President Trump exposed in the open air without protective glass. How horrifying is the putrefaction that has taken place in the people’s house: the White House.
Assuredly, Jill reads and approves every word that her mentally handicapped husband is going to read from a teleprompter on the campaign trail. As an example, let’s just take the night before the assassination attempt when the assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was home in his parent’s living room watching TV. He heard the President of the United States, Joe Biden, who he looked up to and hanged on every word of – even to the extent of risking his own life to carry out the directive of the Commander in Chief who spoke these words “I mean it from my heart this man (Trump) is a threat to democracy… he needs to be taken out.”) That is when he made his decision. He asked father for his father’s gun to go to the ‘shooting range’ and he knew what he had to do. He knew it would wind up being death by police (he fit the perfect profile for such devilish mischief – a loner, always bullied and made fun of in school (having just graduated from high school two years ago), no friends to speak of. As Paul Harvey used to say, “You know the rest of the story.”
This young boy, this amateur assassin acting alone, could never have pulled off what he did without President Trump being left open and vulnerable by a declination of his campaign’s request for extra Secret Service manpower (Yes, Jill and Hunter were jealous that he could draw a crowd of 50.000 when Joe was lucky if he could draw a crowd of 5,000 or maybe only 500). You need more man power to keep an eye on a crowd of 50,000 than you need for a crowd of 5,000. Even then you may miss something. Why no glass shield?
Why is it I am reminded of a story in a very old book? When King David wanted to take out Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, he didn’t do it with his own sword. He simply ordered his general to place Uriah on the front lines in an unprotected position (think ‘insufficient manpower’ to keep an eye on 50,000 people and having to turn the outer perimeters of protection over to local law enforcement who wound up being like the Keystone Cops).
A small bipartisan delegation from the Congress needs to stumble over the White House and return to Capitol Hill with the briefcase containing the nuclear codes so that all of us in the world can sleep at night and we don’t all go up in a puff of cocaine dust that becomes a mushroom cloud (of an incoming Russian ICBM).
We need responsible leadership in the White House IMMEDIATELY. We can’t wait another 5 months (our constitutional system of government ordinarily mandates that). There are some good minds in the Congress and there are some good minds in the country. Somebody needs to put their thinking cap on and come up with a solution. Our forefathers would have. There is devilish mischief afoot and we are wise to remember always that the devil has loved death and dying from the beginning. He has been a liar from the beginning and the truth is not in him. He prods and directs men by pulling the strings of their egos and pride. Once he has them addicted to his ultimate aphrodisiac – POWER – they willingly become his disciples. They lie like he does, accusing the ones opposed to them of the very things that they themselves are guilty of (such as the phrase “Trump is an existential threat to democracy”. It is they who are the existential threat, not Trump!
Senator Cotton said it: “The devil came to Butler (Pennsylvania) with a gun and took a shot at a lion, and that lion stood up and R O O O O O A A A A R R R E D!!!”
This triumvirate of power (Jill, Hunter, and Kamala – who as vice president has lunch with the president weekly and has witnessed his cognitive decline), secretly put together over a 3½ year period of cover up behind the back of (and in some cases with the willing assent of) Jill’s husband of his progressive cognitive decline. We are told he has repeatedly frustrated his Chief of Staff and his advisors by clearing any and all suggestions they may have with Jill and Hunter first, openly admitting that in the end, he can only trust his wife and his son to give him the best advice.
Where is William Shakespeare when we need him to write a play about this? He perhaps would decline the assignment claiming that the truth of thee matter was too fanciful to be believed in a fictional play. In this case, truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

P.S. Trump underwent a spiritual experience when he came ‘that close’ to a casket spray of flowers atop the American flag stretched over his casket lying in state in the rotunda of the Capitol. He will rise above it all, and seize this opportunity of leadership to unify the nation as did Abraham Lincoln at the time of a previous great division among our people. He won’t even complain about the poor protection he was given. But we need to review the facts leading up to his near assassination and know whose fingerprints are all over this. Be aware that we are in the midst of a national security crisis. The levers of power of the United States of America are in the wrong hands.
Who is going to do something about this? Is the Congress simply going to convene a million committees who don’t even coordinate and combine their efforts all for the purpose of political posturing, all the while allowing the levers of power which have been taken away from the elected president to continue to be seized by unelected family members?
The devil is alive and well and has loved death and dying from the beginning. World War III is assuredly on his agenda. We could find ourselves in World War III (President Trump has repeatedly warned that President Biden is going to get us into World War III!) before a committee renders a ‘report’. And then what? What do we do with the report? Wring our hands and go on, and wait and hope and pray – first of all that Trump is elected and we make it until he places his hand on the Bible in January? Can we even have an open air inauguration this year with a Russian nuclear submarine anchored and waiting off the coast of Havana should they receive an order from the Kremlin (Putin)? Clear all the grandstands of all the government with only a 3 minute warning? It would look like a mass stampede at a soccer match with people stepping over one another and trampling one another to death in the process. Do we simply take Putin’s word for it that he is going to be good, that he is simply going to watch the inauguration on TV himself from Moscow and not do any bad things?
President John F. Kennedy would have had that submarine turned around and out of here – or else – long before now. We are looking at the 2nd Cuban Missile Crisis. Jill and Hunter left that one out of Joe Biden’s note cards. It’s understandable. It’s too big for them to handle.
The watchman in the crow’s nest of the Titanic once gave his ‘report’ (think committee report). He reported an iceberg dead ahead. Below, in the belly of the ship, the lights were burning, the band was playing, people were dancing, and the champagne was flowing.
Nero fiddled (committee’s fiddle) while Rome burned.
