On July 13th, 2024, in Butler, PA, Thomas Matthew Crooks (20, white male) attempted to assassinate President Donald J. Trump while he was speaking at a rally.
Trump was shot in the ear, nearly missing the rest of his head, before diving down and being completely covered by secret service agents. Then, as Trump was being escorted off stage with blood dripping down his face, he pumped his fist in the air and said “FIGHT!” in a historic moment that was completely riveting.
When this happened, everybody in the crowd started cheering for him, shouting “We Love Trump!” and “USA! USA! USA!”
Who was Thomas Matthew Crooks? He was a resident of Butler, PA and lived only a little over a mile away from the incident.

I have also read reports that Thomas Matthew Crooks flew a drone over the area before the rally started. This seems hardly feasible for a 20 year old to do by himself.
On July 12th, at 9:45 PM and 10:02 PM I made a call to crossroads 24/7 prayer line.
I made two calls, one requesting protection for Donald J. Trump.
The other a more worrisome prediction, as I believe we need a moratorium on artificial intelligence, as Elon Musk has said.
I have since then spoken with the crossroad 24/7 prayer line, and all retrospect, I believe I come off better than they do….
