 1 Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven.  2 Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.  3 But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth.
Matthew 6: 1-3
Trump has been quietly doing good deeds throughout his life. He may not have read the above Scripture, but he has lived it.
It’s these stories that I heard about Trump that caused me to vote for him. He cares about us little folks.
It’s stories like these that take away any doubt in my mind that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful due to God’s Holy Angels. Not a coincidence that he moved his head when he did.
He was not finished with the work that needs to be done. The work to keep the Republic.
To safeguard our freedoms. To fight, fight, fight against the agents of destruction that have the unmitigated gall to call themselves Americans. They are the majority of the Democratic party in Washington. Trump.
A man for our times. God bless him.
God Bless him. This doesn’t surprise me. Trump has always come across as a down to earth person. I liked this impromptu job interview Trump once did during a press conference:

The guy can’t be a real politician because he uses his own $$. A few of our bishops could learn a lot about true charity from this man.
Great example Ezabelle. I wonder if she got the job?
We, America, have been at war within our boarders. The time for a strong American to take charge has come. One of the things that I’m noticing about #47 v. #45 is a bit more humility. I would cringe when he bragged about himself…over and over again.
Thus far I see much less of that.
Maybe the bullet grazing his ear or just maybe enough people in his close circle suggested it, what ever the reason I’m happy to notice the change.
[…] Analysis, Punditry, and News:Let Not Thy Left Hand Know What Thy Right Hand Doeth – Donald R. McClarey, […]
I heard this second hand in the 90s from a reputable person.
He said two friends got a flat at night in the rain on the Atlantic City Expressway. Desolate stretch of road. A limo stops and the driver gets out. He says, “My boss told me to help you out.”
The driver changed the tire and leaves.
The friend who wasn’t changing the tire says to the other friend “Do you know who that was in the limo?”
“No. Who?”
“Donald Trump.”
@ Dave RX: Spot on.
August 15, 2025 from today’s news:
Legal Harassment or Frivolous lawsuit whatever. The Democrats in Pennsylvania and New Jersey have not read Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist Church wherein Jefferson acknowledges man’s conscience as primary and “a wall of separation between church and state.”
A virgin is a virgin is a virgin. Consecrated virgins are in a special and metaphysical, eternal relationship with God as their God.
The Little Sisters of the Poor, all consecrated virgins in an eternal relationship with God are being hauled into court again for not fulfilling Obama’s demand that they supply contraceptives and abortion in their health insurance to their employees. Perhaps their employees do not need contraceptives or abortion matters not for the letter of the law. What about conscience? What about separation of church and state? What about the fact that virgins do not need or want contraceptives or abortion. The consecrated virgins of the Little Sisters of the Poor are being forced to buy and pay for something that they do not need or want; something that violates their very life in relationship with God.
The courts are catering to the lowest common denominator in our culture. The courts have become tyrants over the souls of all good people of good will.
A Turtle parasite continues to squirm into the lives of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Unreal Mary De Voe. smh
From OSV news;
The nuns will appeal the ruling “in the coming weeks,” said Becket, the religious liberty law firm representing the Little Sisters of the Poor in their ongoing legal efforts over their objections to paying for abortifacient drugs, sterilizations and contraceptives in their employee health plans.
“The district court blessed an out-of-control effort by Pennsylvania and New Jersey to attack the Little Sisters and religious liberty,” Mark Rienzi, president of Becket and lead attorney for the Little Sisters, argued in a statement. “It’s bad enough that the district court issued a nationwide ruling invalidating federal religious conscience rules. But even worse is that the district court simply ducked the glaring constitutional issues in this case, after waiting five years and not even holding a hearing.
“It is absurd to think the Little Sisters might need yet another trip to the Supreme Court,” he continued, “to end what has now been more than a dozen years of litigation over the same issue. We will fight as far as we need to fight to protect the Little Sisters’ right to care for the elderly in peace.”
That old serpent has friends.
The Almighty often chooses the imperfect to carry out his will. David was certainly an example. Result is that injustice is often remedied and evil doers receive justice. Has always been so and will probably continue as a manifestation of God’s will.
@donald, I’m pretty sure the Lord chooses the imperfect to carry out His will because that’s all He’s got. 😉
I mean He doesn’t need us, but He delights in working with us. Glory to Him that He lets us be His miracles.
True Nate. I think it also pleases His sense of humor and to remind us that in the most unlikely people there can be extraordinary possibilities.
Thank you, Philip.
