5 Christian Leaders Respond to Attempted Assassination of Trump

All agree that "Satan is on the move."

Christians nationwide are reacting to the third brazen attempted assassination of President Donald Trump’s life that unfolded Saturday night as the commander in chief and members of his administration attended the annual White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner halted by gunfire that echoed inside the Washington Hilton hotel.

Some attendees reported hearing the gunfire as a succession of four loud noises, "boom, boom, boom, boom," while others said they heard plates crashing as security and Secret Service agents ordered everyone to duck under their tables as Vice President JD Vance, the president, and first lady Melania Trump were rushed from the dais.

Five Christian leaders who were in attendance have shared their response.

When The Virtual World Becomes The Real World

Robert Maginnis published an article yesterday with the American Family Association titled, "When the Virtual World Becomes the Real World."

The article can be understood, from a biblical perspective, as a warning about the growing tendency for people to substitute digital experiences for God-ordained reality. While technology itself is not inherently evil, Scripture consistently calls believers to live in truth, embodied relationships, and faithful stewardship of time—areas that can be distorted when the virtual world begins to dominate.

Some thoughts on how the virtual world can dominate the real world.

I'll also be talking about the latest news from the attempted assassination in Washington DC. on our radio program this morning.

NYT: "We May Never Know the Motive"

The New York Times said following the shooting in Washington DC Saturday that "We may never know the motive" of the shooter. 

The Times may never know, or admit the motives, but a whole lot of journalists and other interested parties are beginning to figure out the "motive." And it's becoming pretty clear to the ordinary people across the fruited plains.

By now, you probably know that Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, tried to attack the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. He was reportedly a hotel guest. He was armed with multiple firearms and knives and sprinted past security checkpoints outside the ballroom.

If the hotel name sounds familiar, it's because President Reagan was shot while leaving the same Washington Hilton Hotel (now often called the Hilton Washington) on March 30, 1981, during an assassination attempt as he was leaving the hotel.

"We may never know the motive?" The New York Times must be kidding. Or greatly underestimating the people of this country. Or simply trying to mislead.

Here's what we know as of Sunday night.

Babies For Sale

Yesterday, Josh Wood wrote for The Federalist, "Two posts went viral this past weekend. The first shows gay country music singer-songwriter Shane McAnally holding his infant son, who is calling for his mother while his male partner films the encounter. The singer looks down at the boy and tells him, directly, that he doesn’t have a 'mama.' Both men begin laughing as the baby cries."

Should babies be for sale?
