Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned.
@realDonaldTrump@POTUS
I disliked Obama,
Never wanted him dead.
I disliked Biden,
Never wanted him dead,
I though Kamala was an idiot,
Never wanted her dead.
You see that leftists?
That’s what we can being SANE.
After three assassination attempts, some people say that President @realDonaldTrump is one lucky man. I don’t think luck has anything to do with it—I believe it is the hand of God. What do you think?
Dear Lord, we need You now more than ever. Please place Your mighty hand of protection over President Trump.
Lord, this man carries so much on his shoulders. He carries the weight of a nation, the hatred of his enemies, the attacks coming from every direction, and the constant danger that comes with standing up for America.
Please cover him. Guard him. Shield him from danger. Surround him with peace, wisdom, courage, and strength.
After what just happened, and after every threat against his life, we thank You that he is still here. We thank You that evil did not win. We ask You to keep him protected every second of every day.
Lord, expose every evil plan before it can unfold. Stop every threat before it gets close. Block every weapon. Remove every person with wicked intentions from his path.
When he is tired, strengthen him. When he is under attack, give him peace. When the pressure is heavy, give him wisdom. When the world tries to break him, give him courage.
And Lord, please protect First Lady Melania Trump, his children, his grandchildren, his entire family, his staff, the Secret Service, and every law enforcement officer standing between him and danger.
Cover them. Guard them. Strengthen them. Keep them safe.
No weapon formed against President Trump, the First Lady, or their family shall prosper.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

@corylav The Trailblazers hasn't made the Playoffs since 2021, and he's stealing the joy from the fan's. He's not even waiting for the post season to be finished. Portland fan's are passionate about the Blazers. And he will get Booed every time they show his face.
I asked Gary Bettman before the game if he had any advice for NBA fans and media regarding Tom Dundon, who has been in the news as the new owner of the Trail Blazers:
"Tom is a very good owner. He has his own way of doing things, which have been very effective, and he's done a great job in Carolina. And when it came time to deal with the authorities in Raleigh with respect to what was going to be done to the building and renovating it, he negotiated in good faith. And I think he's been really a strong asset to the franchise and to the community, and I think the Hurricanes’ future is extraordinarily bright because of everything he's done and doing, including we had a pretty successful outdoor game there."
Stepping in as a guest coach for the Combat Ducks tomorrow…

@BoNix10 - we’re bummed you won’t be able to make it but can’t wait to see you back in Eugene soon! #GoDucks
