No human being is a substitute for the Higher Power even El Rushbo said "talent on loan from God".

'CHARIOTS OF FIRE' AND THE 1924 PARIS OLYMPICS

The theme from the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire" which chronicled the exploits of the 1924 British Olympic runners in Paris. It would win Academy Award for Best Picture among other things.

And the Olympics return to Paris in 2024 opening ceremonies set this coming Friday.

"Chariots of Fire" we all went out to see that in Philly in a movie theater Society Hill I recall the Evangelical Christian subculture I was in and we got the tickets to go see this film handed out by various organizations.

The British runners at those Paris Olympics the Christian runner Eric Liddell the Jewish runner Harold Abrahams.

The story of the British runners at the Paris Olympics had a patriotic aspect not just a religious one the British Empire needed a national lift in 1924 as the economic and social devastation of World War I hit the UK.

The first distinct signs of the decline of the British Empire evident in the aftermath of the war in the 1920's.

Early in the film disabled World War I vets are seen.

"DRUGS, ALCOHOL, PORNOGRAPHY"

BBC News: "Ingrid Andress: Country star sorry for singing US anthem drunk"

Getting back to last Saturday evening the shocking attempt on Donald Trump's life.

In a previous life I would have reacted to that with anger, obsession posting online late into the night, getting tired and then getting drunk using my 'drug of choice'.

To be perfectly honest I would have created an intoxicating chemical reaction in my own body with my own hands you know what I'm saying.

Someone texted me concerned about the shooting of President Trump last Saturday evening and I reacted with Scripture Titus 3:3 but I will present Titus 3:1-6 as my response:

"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone,

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Christ Jesus our Savior."-

Titus 3:1-6

Getting back to the Trump Assassination Attempt were people responsible for Mr. Trump's protection under the influence of something prior to the attack?

I've had this habit of wanting to politicize problems when maybe it does boil down to people using:

"DRUGS, ALCOHOL, PORNOGRAPHY"

In Israel the October 7th attack young female soldiers warning the male officers up the chain of command about all the attack preparations.

In that instance I asked the question.

Were the military men listening with their ears to those young women or staring at them with their eyes?

Sexual activities with others or sex with self in the ranks of the Secret Service?

Those things along with drug or alcohol use all capable of hurting job performance In My Humble Opinion.

What in the world we get this regarding the man who tried to kill President Trump and did kill a man wounded two others beside President Trump...

That's a different way to see things you don't have to drink the Kool Aid narrative one could argue. She sees the "Deep State" linked to Donald Trump.

My one thought you talk about intelligence agencies the forces supporting Israel and so on driving this kind of activity:

"Fear Of The Next Holocaust"
