The language President Donald Trump employed in recent weeks to describe his brush with death on July 13 hinted at an appreciation for forces that secular materialists may dismiss out of hand. In the wake of yet another assassination attempt, Trump doubled down, suggesting that his continued existence despite the efforts of his enemies was not the result of luck but rather the handiwork of God. During an X Spaces conversation Monday evening, Trump recounted what took place at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday. At 1:31 p.m., a U.S. Secret Service agent on Trump's detail, who had been walking the perimeter of the course one hole ahead of the president, spotted the barrel of a rifle "poking out of the tree line" and through a chain-link fence, roughly 400 yards away from Trump. "All of a sudden, we heard shots being fired in the air," said Trump. "I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets, but what do I know about that?" 'It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.' The USSS agent reportedly opened fire, targeting the barrel of the would-be assassin's gun. The suspect, radical Democratic donor and Ukraine obsessive Ryan Routh, fled the scene without firing a shot. Trump noted that U.S. Secret Service agents whisked him away on a golf cart, even though he "would have loved to sink that last putt." Reflecting upon this and the previous attempt on his life by a Democratic donor who he figures was acting on the "rhetoric of Biden and Harris," Trump said, "There's something going on. I mean, perhaps it's God wanting me to be president to save this country." The day after he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump also credited God with saving him. "It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness," he wrote in a post on Truth Social. When speaking to Elon Musk on Aug. 12, Trump suggested that his last-second head turn in July, which meant a grazed ear rather than a bullet to the brain, was miraculous. "The bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of the shooter," continued Trump. "All because I put down a chart on immigration that showed that the numbers were so great. I love that chart." Trump was referring to a chart he had on the stage illustrating the millions of illegal aliens President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have failed to prevent from stealing into the homeland over the past three years. "It was amazing that I happened to be turned just at that perfect angle," said Trump. Trump noted that his head turn was all the more unlikely given his sporadic use of the illegal immigration chart at his rallies. "It's very much, I say, an act of God. It's a miracle," said Trump. "And I'm honored by it." In conversation late last month with BlazeTV host Mark Levin, Trump speculated that God is keeping him alive because He "thinks that I'm going to straighten out our country." 'Our God still saves.' Trump is hardly alone in thinking he has enjoyed the ultimate reinforcement. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) noted days after the first assassination attempt, "Trump is truly blessed by the hand of God being able to evade being assassinated." NPR noted that Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) similarly credited the Almighty with filling in the gaps in the Secret Service's protection. "If you didn't believe in miracles before Saturday, you better be believing right now," said Scott. "Thank God Almighty that we live in a country that still believes in the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the Alpha and the Omega. Our God still saves. He still delivers and he still sets free. Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle. But an American lion got back up on his feet." Referring to the photograph of a bullet whizzing by Trump's head in Pennsylvania, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy wrote, "That's Divine Providence. One hair's width away from a deathblow to a nation." Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) shared an illustration of the outline of what appears to be Jesus Christ protecting Trump from an incoming bullet, with the caption, "If God is with you, who can be against you?" New York Republican Rep. Brandon Williams tweeted, "God saved our Republic last night." Extra to Trump's appreciation for God, it appears also he is leaning into his fondness for Christ's mother. NBC News' Katherine Doyle confirmed Tuesday that President Trump, headed to Pennsylvania this weekend, will be visiting the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Earlier this month, he celebrated the birth of the Virgin Mary to the chagrin of radicals, including former foreign agent Ana Navarro of ABC's "The View." Like Blaze News?

Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom snickered as he sat on the stage at a conference this week and signed three bills that will further restrict "deepfake" or "materially deceptive" election content in California, but defiant social media users shared an AI election video scorned by Newsom nonetheless.On Tuesday, Newsom joined Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff onstage at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. Dreamforce is a tech conference that bills itself as "the largest AI event in the world."'So that's how easy it is to govern.'The event may have promoted AI, but the conversation between Newsom and Benioff seemed to focus on the problems associated with AI. When Newsom mentioned that he had 38 bills on his desk that related to digital concerns, Benioff suggested that Newsom take the opportunity of the Dreamforce conference to sign three such bills about election advertising containing AI material."I just thought, you know, why waste your time with a politician unless they're gonna do something for you?" Newsom said with a smile, a bundle of paper in his hand, and ostensibly drawing a pen from his jacket pocket. He then appeared to sign three pieces of paper."This is now official," he said with a laugh. "That is now injunctive relief if you do any of those 'deepfake' election misrepresentations."So that's how easy it is to govern."Newsom, Benioff, and the audience may have found the situation humorous, but many others worry that the bills may further erode First Amendment protections of free speech.AB 2655, also known as the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, requires online platforms "to block the posting of materially deceptive content related to elections in California" and "to label certain additional content inauthentic, fake, or false" during designated periods before and after an election.AB 2355 expands upon existing law and requires a committee that creates, publishes, and/or distributes some political advertising to add a "disclosure" noting when an ad has been "generated or substantially altered" using AI. The bill addresses "any image, audio, or video that is generated or substantially altered using artificial intelligence" that would give a reasonable person "a fundamentally different understanding of the altered media when comparing it to an unaltered version."AB 2839 also builds upon existing law that already prohibits people from knowingly distributing, with malice, election material containing "certain materially deceptive content." Previous law required this statute to be enforced 60 days before an election. It will now be enforced 120 days before an election and, in certain cases, up to 60 days afterward.In a statement, Newsom insisted these speech restrictions were necessary for the sake of democracy. "Safeguarding the integrity of elections is essential to democracy, and it’s critical that we ensure AI is not deployed to undermine the public’s trust through disinformation – especially in today’s fraught political climate," Newsom said. "These measures will help to combat the harmful use of deepfakes in political ads and other content, one of several areas in which the state is being proactive to foster transparent and trustworthy AI."Billionaire Elon Musk, a professed Trump supporter who recently moved some of his companies out of California because of its onerous laws, called out Newsom for essentially proscribing election parody ads.One particular video that went viral recently features a deepfake of Kamala Harris' voice bragging that she is "the ultimate diversity hire" who was "selected" to be the Democrat presidential nominee after "Joe Biden finally exposed his senility."In July, Newsom specifically cited that viral video as the kind of "manipulating" election content that "should be illegal."Early Wednesday morning, Musk tweeted the video out once again, demonstrating that he has no intention of abiding by California's new restrictions: "The governor of California just made this parody video illegal in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Would be a shame if it went viral."Libs of TikTok has also shared the video this week in light of the new California laws. "This is the video that @GavinNewsom doesn’t want you to see," the account wrote.Comedian Rob Schneider likewise called out Newsom for trying to restrict the funny video. "ALL FOLLOWERS PLEASE RETWEET THIS ONLY ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA PARODY…." he said.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The Viking Age is a perennial subject for many, a period of about three-and-a-half centuries where the fortunes of various countries across northern Europe were forged out of fire, fury, bloodshed, economic growth, expansion, and all that jazz. Or at least, that is how it first seems; a constant ‘ramping up’ of scale and scope from an isolated raid on Lindisfarne in 793 to the final showdown at Stamford Bridge in 1066. This narrative, moving from raiders to invaders to crusaders, is one of the key tenets of modern storytelling about the Viking Age, covering such famous figures like Erik Bloodaxe, Harald Fairhair, Hardrada, Cnut the Great; some real, many not. But it is such famous figures - Viking Age celebrities - that overshadow and obscure some of the more interesting elements of the period. You’ve all likely heard of Mr. Bloodaxe, right? What about Knutr and Sigfrodr of York? Two kings who ruled about fifty years before him and were some of the first to implement Anglo-Scandinavian coinage in the capital. What about Bjorn Ironside and Ivarr the Boneless? Huge names. A-listers of the Viking Age. People will know who they are either through their perceived pseudo-historical impact or their enduring legacy throughout pop culture. But what about their contemporaries and like-minded kin? What about Sitriuc Silkbeard, Rorik of Dorestad, Bjorn of the Broadwickers? Characters large and small from sagas and chronicles, some ripped straight out of fiction and others embroidered into real political narratives of the ninth and tenth centuries.

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings panned his own network on Monday for allowing Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign to mischaracterize former President Donald Trump's rhetoric in a way that's "designed to radicalize a political base."

Tupperware Brands filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Tuesday, succumbing to mounting losses amid poor demand for its once-iconic food storage containers.

Former President Donald Trump's favorability ratings have climbed since August, while Vice President Kamala Harris' took a dip, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.
