Political Bombshells: Are You Ready for an October Surprise?
We are in the final month before what could potentially be one of the most controversial and impactful US elections to date. With all of the bombshells, unexpected twists, and controversial interviews that have happened so far, it looks like things are only going to get more interesting from here on out. Especially when it comes to October, where most hard-hitting truths tend to come out right before the election in a phenomenon known as the “October Surprise.”1
Many people are already well aware of the drama and oppressive forces surrounding the Trump campaign and many of the public attacks they’ve come under. He continues to stand strong in the face of adversity even with two public assassination attempts and hundreds of people attempting to drag his name through the mud. Now, as the election draws nearer and nearer, many people continue to wait for further bombshells to be dropped, particularly against the Trump administration.
After the initial Trump versus Harris debate, rumors of more interviews, or even another potential debate, have been circulating. While Trump has insisted that this will not be the case, particularly after the way the last debate was handled, he said he would be open to the idea. This, however, came before the second attempt on the former president’s life.2
This second assassination attempt took place on September 15. An active shooter was spotted in the tree line at the presidential candidate’s oceanfront club in Florida. The gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, had reportedly been sitting in the surrounding woods since 2:00 a.m.3 Now, with more and more security questions and concerns being raised, it is possible that Trump will not be making any more live appearances until the November election. Many of his supporters and rally attendees have been disappointed by this news, but many others insist that it’s the right way to go, especially with the election getting closer. With plenty of threats constantly rolling out against the presidential candidate, the Secret Service and other related personnel have begun to increase security and attempt to limit public interactions.
Now, Trump has had his fair share of issues these last few months, particularly surrounding his campaign. But what about Kamala? What scandal could we potentially expect from her? Well, for starters, lately, many people have taken time to note that she has not really shared any of her personal campaign plans. When asked her goals about particular issues or what her plans for the country are, she gives no concrete ideas or even suggestions as to how she is going to run America. This raises a large amount of questions about how American citizens are supposed to know what issues she supports, how she plans on using our tax dollars, or even what she would do when faced with issues such as the possibility of a war or the current recession.
While her campaign website does help to give some ideas on how she plans on operating and what issues she thinks are the most important, it’s particularly important to note the slander Kamala also pushes. She has even gone so far as to call her opponent “a convicted criminal who only cares about himself” and said “he is refusing to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election if he loses a second time.””4 The closer the election gets, the more the Democrats have proven they are not beneath slandering the people around them if they think it will help their cause.
With that in mind, be praying for America, Warriors. We are currently at one of the most crucial points in American history. Deception is at an all-time high, and Christianity is at an all-time low. We need to be in our prayer closets as we find ourselves in the final stretch of this election year. Prepare your hearts, your spirits, and stand on the Word of God as we ready ourselves to fight this evil that is trying to take over our country. Stay strong, Warriors! Be ready! And most importantly, stay in the know!
