Tea at Trianon: Trump, Fatima & the Deep State

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Trump, Fatima & the Deep State

From The National Pulse:

Former White House Chief Strategist and War Room host Stephen K. Bannon has issued a statement from jail on the assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump, in comments made exclusively to The National Pulse.
Reacting in the immediate aftermath, Bannon, who forewarned of this, said: “I’ve warned about this very thing for over a year–an assassination attempt–the threat is real, very real. Thankfully, President Trump wears the Armor of God. Today, our leader showed total command presence, stood tall, and said ‘FIGHT’!” (Read more.)

From WLT Report:

As we’re now a day out from the assassination attempt on President Trump, we’re all starting to gather our thoughts, dig into the things that don’t make sense, and start to connect a lot of dots.

I’ve been doing it all day, and I definitely have strong opinions about what happened here.

I’ve been posting them all day (make sure you follow me on Twitter: https://x.com/DailyNoahNews) but I just came across this excellent video from Sebastian Gorka who did exactly what I’m doing….he just gave his takeaways from the attempted assassination 24 hours later, and they are SPOT on.

He touched on almost everything I’ve been covering all day today.

And he did it in one concise video.

So I thought I would share it with you. (Read more.)

From The Georgia Record:

Like many of us, I’m still digesting the assassination attempt on President Trump. I’d have crawled over broken glass to vote for him before this weekend, in case you were wondering. But there’s one thing I know – this is a pivotal moment in history.

God inarguably saved Trump’s life on Saturday; his RNC speech this week isn’t just a speech anymore. It’s one of THOSE moments in history. “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” (Genesis 50:20)

This was never just about Trump or Biden. This is Biblical chess unfolding on a global scale and like Outkast said, “Revelation’s getting impatient.” Before Saturday, the discussions were about Biden’s cognitive decline, the price of gas and groceries, WW3 ramping up, and leftists trying to tie Trump to a think tank’s memo on policy recommendations.

But thanks to God’s providential protection, Trump lived. We witnessed a miracle. Not only that, Trump had the presence of mind to hit the ground immediately, and even though obviously in shock (my shoes!) he pumped a fist as his face dripped blood and told us to FIGHT. We know his fight or flight response! As a veteran, I can tell you that’s exactly what I want to see in my Commander in Chief. He’s 78 years old, just got shot, was tackled by half a dozen agents. His body must be bruised and sore. His eardrum probably exploded, part of his ear may be gone, and he likely has a headache that won’t quit. He’s probably dealing with a mix of shock, gratitude, guilt (3 people in that crowd took bullets meant for him, one dying as he used his body to protect his daughters) and hugging his family extra tight. He has millions of people praying him through.

He’s also the man God has obviously chosen for this moment in history. Teddy Roosevelt was shot with a bullet that went through a glasses case and speech and lodged in a rib (ironically in Milwaukee, where Trump is now). He took out the speech with a bullet hole in it and gave it. He also lost that election because he was primarying a guy he’d actually picked to succeed him and primaries were a new thing, wild story. But what would have happened next if JFK or Lincoln had survived their assassination attempts? If they’d given a huge speech just afterward? (Read more.)

It is shameful how the wicked cannot contain their disappointment that Trump was not killed. From Jan at The Easton Gazette:

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some teachers feel entitled to share their hate filled social media posts regarding the assassination attempt on former President and current candidate Trump. After all, these young people have gone through a school system and college training programs which have taught them more about their "right" to socially influence their students than how to actually teach. And, goodness knows, they have been fully indoctrinated.

In my career, I taught new teachers in our county. Most of them were idealistic, energetic, wonderful young people who chose teaching as a calling rather than a profession. They wanted to do what was best so their students would learn. Occasionally, in most extreme cases, we would get a knucklehead who wanted to share their weekend party habits with kids or show them X-rated movies (yes, it happened). There were those who wanted to be buddies with their students instead of the adult in the room.

I remember reminding students about appropriate dress and inappropriate language. Most of them figured out the limits. Those that didn't were usually gone, sometimes by December of the first year they were hired.

Political bias was not normally something we worried about. Most teachers didn't feel compelled to do share political leanings. (Read more.)
