COMMENTARY: The implications of the assassination attempt will present a challenge for Christians to read the signs of the times.
Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump embraces the firefighter uniform of Corey Comperatore (the misspelling on the jacket was an error made years ago, according to the Buffalo Twp Vol Fire Co. Events Facebook page, which explained that ‘the spelling on his jacket was in error years ago and it was left that way by Corey.
