god has no shame....

Many people, including President Donald Trump, have been suggesting over the last year that, because Trump survived being shot at during the 2024 presidential campaign, he and the things he does are endorsed by God. Indeed, this week, Trump, speaking with a reporter next to the Air Force One plane, said regarding the shooting that “God was protecting me, maybe because God wanted to see our country do better or do really well, make America great again.”

 

The Divine Right of Donald Trump

   by 

 

For some Trump supporters there has been an audacity or public relations devotion that urges them to keep asserting that Trump’s brush with death resulted in Trump’s actions thereafter having God’s support. It harkens back to the days when the divine right of kings was asserted. As then, the claim regarding Trump appears to be a self-serving assertion that critically thinking people, if they feel adequately safe from the enforcers of the narrative, will respond to with a smirk and snicker.

An example of the Trump miracle talk at near its bluntest was provided this week by United States House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), stating that “God miraculously spared the president’s life” when “multiple assassins tried to kill him.” This divine intervention, Johnson further declared was “undeniably” undertaken by God “for an obvious purpose.” That purpose, Johnson went on to explain as follows:

His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence, and he points that out obviously now all the time, and he’s right to do so.

The shots were fired at a Trump campaign event one year ago this week. Isn’t this a good time to call it quits on the divine intervention to help Trump make America great again talk that seems better suited for comedy than American politics? It has grown wearisome.

Jim was like most men. He approved of the Almighty’s dealings with him when he was on the winning side.

price warung....

Price Warung, born William Astley in Liverpool in 1855, was a notable figure in Australian literature and journalism. After relocating to Victoria, Australia, with his family in 1859, he developed an early interest in storytelling, particularly influenced by a medical officer’s accounts of the penal system. Warung's career flourished when he worked for the Bulletin in Sydney, where he published numerous short stories that vividly depicted Australian life and the experiences of convicts. He adopted the pseudonym "Price Warung," merging his mother’s maiden name with a name reflecting a native place in Sydney. His significant works include collections such as "Tales of the Convict System" and "Half-Crown Bob and Tales of the Riverine." Despite facing personal challenges, including a degenerative spinal condition and subsequent morphine addiction, Warung remained committed to social reform, advocating for workers' rights and criticizing the injustices of the penal system through his writing. He passed away in 1911, but his literary contributions continue to resonate as a reflection of his time and the issues he passionately addressed.
