Two children were killed and 17 other people, including 14 children, were injured in a shooting in Minneapolis.

The suspected shooter who killed two children and injured 17 other people at a Minneapolis Catholic church on Wednesday morning has been identified as Robin Westman, per reporter Karol Markowicz. Reports indicate that the suspect may have been transgender.

A since-deleted YouTube account under the username “robinw” posted numerous videos in the hours leading up to the shooting. In one video, the user showed off a gun that had writings on it, including the phrases “where is your god?,” “kill Donald Trump,” and “I’m the Woker, baby, Why so serious?” Other phrases included “burn Israel” and “6 million was not enough.” In the same video, the user shot at a target that had Jesus on it with “”he came to pay a debt He didn’t owe because we owe a debt we cannot pay” typed out underneath Jesus.

A cherished French bakery in Jefferson County, Colorado, is facing potential closure because of the county’s harsh enforcement of exclusionary zoning regulations. This situation underscores how overly restrictive regulations create unnecessary hurdles that stifle entrepreneurship, especially when the local economy is struggling.

Lookout Mountain, Colorado, is celebrated for its breathtaking views, luxurious homes, and as the final resting place of Buffalo Bill. Just 12 miles from downtown Denver, it has become a must-visit destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and tourists from all over the globe.

This charming mountain community has long grappled with one significant drawback: the lack of a quality café. For many years, residents and visitors have had to travel to the nearby city of Golden for a decent cup of coffee or tasty pastries. So both locals and tourists were thrilled when a French bakery, Et Voilà!, opened less than half a mile from Buffalo Bill’s Museum and Grave.

Et Voilà! — meaning “Here you go” in French — is run by a passionate trio of French immigrants: husband-and-wife team Eric and Rachel Dufour, along with Rachel’s sister, Ruth. After leaving a successful career as an economist, Ruth pursued her passion for baking at renowned chef Olivier Bajard’s pastry school. The Dufours want to share their love for authentic French cuisine with the Lookout Mountain community, creating a welcoming space for locals and visitors. They also count on the bakery’s financial success to support their nonprofit, Serving Alongside Ministry (SAM), which provides counseling services for Christian organizations and leaders globally.

The nation was left reeling Wednesday after a tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where a gunman killed two young children and injured several others. Authorities later identified the shooter as a transgender-identifying male with radical left-wing views—a detail the media was quick to downplay. Sadly, this has become an all-too-familiar pattern. Just as we saw after the 2023 Covenant school massacre in Nashville, the press is once again bending over backwards to bury the shooter’s transgender identity. On his Fox News program Wednesday night, Jesse Watters blasted the media for their blatant double standard.

In his monologue, Watters detailed cases of shootings, firebombings, and ideological extremism, and accused politicians of placing ideology over child safety.

Watters began with an unapologetic charge, linking a recent Catholic school shooting to a broader trend. “So a suicidal transgender who hates Trump’s Christians and Jews shoots up kids at a Catholic school, and the media wants to take away your handgun. So how are we supposed to protect ourselves from trans shooters?” he asked, before accusing the press of deliberately ignoring what he sees as an undeniable pattern.

Excerpt:

Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who primarily goes by just “Kennedy” on the network, argued during Wednesday’s installment of “The Five” that Robin Westman’s transgender identity is irrelevant when discussing Wednesday’s mass shooting targeting a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Westman — a biological male who started “identifying” as a female when he was 17 — indiscriminately opened fire on students as they were attending a school-wide mass on Wednesday morning. Two children, aged 8 and 10 were killed, while 14 other students and three additional adults were wounded. Thankfully, all of those injured are expected to survive.

The gunman uploaded a number of disturbing videos prior to carrying out the attack, many of which contained anti-Christian imagery and nods to far-left extremism. Westman scribbled a number of messages on his weapons, including “Where is your god,” “I’m the woker, why so queerious” and “Kill Donald Trump.”

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele — who now works as a partisan left-wing host for MSNBC — trashed Christians and conservatives for offering prayers in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting targeting the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

While speaking on a panel that included U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and longtime Democratic Party operative Symone Sanders, Steele said that he agrees with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s stance on the “trans community.” After a transgender-identifying gunman killed two children and wounded several others, the far-left mayor has repeatedly stated that the city must stand by its “trans community” and protect them from “abuse” and “harassment.”

“As an elected official, you are on the ground with your folks and you appreciate this journey. I agree with the mayor,” Steele said.

“The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

If you needed evidence that biased misinformation is more harmful than no information, you needed to look no further than CNN on Wednesday morning.

Just a little while earlier, the news had emerged that a shooter had opened fire on Catholic students in Mass at a school in Minneapolis. School had just started on Monday, and the Wednesday morning service had been meant to mark the beginning of the school year.

At 11 a.m. ET, it was known that the shooter was dead, and it was known that many were injured, although the exact number or if any were dead had been unreported. What wasn’t known was that the shooter was an anti-God, anti-Jewish, anti-Trump transgender former student with serious mental health issues who left a number of messages to that effect on the guns he used. This would become an optics problem for the liberal media as the day unfolded.

That kid is a hero, and he has the gratitude of his friend, who told this incredible story to the press in the aftermath of the tragic shooting that occurred Wednesday at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Robert “Robin” Westman, a man who identified as a woman, opened fire during a mass commemorating the start of the new school year.

Weston Halsne, 10, told reporters that when shots rang out—Westman fired through the stained glass—his friend dove on top of him, protecting him.  He was struck in the back. The good news is that everyone injured in the attack is expected to survive. Seventeen people, 14 children and three adults, were injured. Tragically, two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. Westman committed suicide before police could make an arrest.

On Wednesday, Robert “Robin” Westman committed a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Westman killed two students, ages 8 and 10. Seventeen others were also wounded, some critically, though all are expected to survive. It led to the discovery of two videos, one showing the manifesto being revealed, some of which was written in Cyrillic, and another showing the arsenal of weapons that were assembled for the assault.

“Kill Donald Trump” and other rantings were inscribed on the magazines. There were also a slew of antisemitic and anti-religious scribblings, too. Westman was unhinged. Still, the FBI says it’s now investigating this as an act of anti-Catholic domestic terrorism:

While the Trump administration and many state legislatures are showing it is possible to ban transgender child mutilation procedures, the top contributing factors to children adopting a transgender identity haven’t gone away. Those include family breakdown, psychological abuse, and leftist-controlled mass media. Government can affect these factors, but not quickly.

This means the transgender social contagion will last some time, especially in culturally leftist locales. How can compassionate friends help these sufferers among us?

Embracing God’s Design, a magazine-like, easy-to-read new book by Dr. Jennifer Bauwens and Walt Heyer, gives some evidence-based ideas. The book details where transgenderism comes from historically, psychologically, and politically, and how to respond in a way that expresses genuine love for those who suffer from it. It is a how-to manual for parents, teachers, pastors, churchgoers, and anyone else who interacts with a sexually confused person — which at this point is most Americans.

Minnesota trans shooter who killed Catholic schoolchildren had ‘Luigi’ stickers decorating his manifesto – The Post Millennial

Trans shooter Robert “Robin” Westman, who opened fire on Catholic children while they worshipped in Minnesota at Annunciation Catholic School, had a disturbing manifesto that glorified school shootings and paid tribute to Luigi Mangione

One sticker on the journal reads “Defend Equality,” featuring an image of a machine gun imposed on top of a pride flag. Others display the Nintendo character Luigi, a reference to Luigi Mangione — the man who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

As reported earlier, Westman uploaded disturbing videos to YouTube prior to the attack, lacing them with pop culture allusions and tributes to notorious mass killers. In the recordings, Westman is shown handling several firearms and ammunition magazines, alongside a target board affixed with an image of Jesus Christ.

Westman declares, “This message brought to you by BlackRock and Exxon Mobil, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon” near the beginning of the video. The footage has since circulated widely online. According to police, the rampage left at least two children dead and 17 people injured — 14 of them minors — when gunfire erupted at a Catholic school during morning mass.

Living things emit a ghostly glow that vanishes at death: Study – timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Excerpt:

Ever wondered if life itself shines, even if just a little? A fascinating 2024 study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters by researchers at the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada reveals that all living organisms emit an ultraweak light, scientifically called ultraweak photon emission (UPE), which mysteriously disappears the moment life ends.This glow is so faint that our eyes cannot see it, but advanced EMCCD cameras detect it clearly in mice, plants, and potentially other living beings. Unlike bioluminescence in fireflies or jellyfish, UPE is a natural byproduct of cellular processes such as oxidative metabolism and stress responses.Remarkably, injured plant leaves glow brighter, indicating that cellular stress amplifies this faint light. The discovery not only gives scientific evidence to ideas like “auras” but also opens possibilities for real-world applications in medicine, agriculture, and biological research. Life literally leaves a subtle light signature, and death quietly turns it off, shedding new light on the invisible glow that accompanies vitality.

Two children are dead, ages 8 and 10, and seventeen others were injured after a trans gunman opened fire at at a Catholic church during morning Mass in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.

The gunman, identified as Robin Westman, 23, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol, Westman shot through the stained glass windows toward the children sitting in the pews during Mass at the Annunciation Catholic Church, the Associated Press reported. Fourteen of the seventeen wounded victims were reportedly children, according to police.

In a statement on Truth Social, President Trump said that he had been “fully briefed on the tragic shooting” and that the FBI had quickly responded.

“The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!” Trump posted.

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. During that case, a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood was released, naming CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, as one of its allied groups, and explaining that the mission of Brotherhood groups in the U.S. was “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Philadelphia: CAIR-Philadelphia is now “partnering” with city schools to promote “inclusive education.”

Among its offerings:

• A 9/11 curriculum that bans teachers from using the words “Islamic terrorists” or “jihadists.”

• A workshop titled “American Jews and Political Power: Myth or Reality,” teaching students about the ADL, AIPAC, and promoting BDS activism.

The workshop is run by Jacob Bender, who described October 7th as merely “the first day of the Gaza war.” He also served on the Philadelphia superintendent’s “anti-racist district culture” team.

So under the guise of “equity,” Philly schools are letting CAIR push propaganda that erases jihad from 9/11 and portrays Jewish political life as suspect.

Key Takeaways

  • The Conversation is a news organization partially funded by public universities to the tune of $2 million annually while producing predominantly anti-Trump content.
  • None of the articles analyzed by The College Fix were explicitly supportive of Trump, and the language used in many instances was deemed emotionally charged and biased, raising concerns about the publication’s claim of neutrality.
  • Public universities, including Michigan State and West Virginia University, financially support The Conversation, but inquiries to these institutions about their contributions and the political alignment of the outlet went unanswered.

Avowed socialist and New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani garnered attention with his pledge to allocate tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to gender-affirming medical care, but far less publicized is his proposal to fund LGBTQIA+ “educational liaisons” in every public school.

Mamdani’s LGBTQIA+ policy memo states that only two LGBTQIA+ liaisons cover the 1,800 schools and 900,000 students under the purview of the NYC Department of Education. Under Mamdani’s plan, an Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs would be created, costing taxpayers $3 million to expand staffing and place at least one liaison in every NYC school district.

Given Mamdani’s views on gender ideology, these positions would inevitably push affirmation-only “gender-affirming care,” embedding the “student-to-trans pipeline” and placing children at the center of trans activism.

Friday, a federal judge in Florida ordered the famed “Alligator Alcatraz” detention and deportation center for illegal aliens closed and dismantled. My colleague Brad Slager had that story:

Judge Kathleen Williams, late Thursday evening in a Miami courtroom, issued a temporary restraining order requiring the state to refrain from bringing in any additional detainees, and declared that in 60 days the facility needs to be cleared of all of those being held, and the process of hauling out the installed infrastructure begins to take place.

Williams, a Barack Obama appointee, stated that an environmental impact assessment was to have been conducted prior to installing the new structures and other operational needs. She noted that no such advance research was conducted by the defendants, although the state did argue with a reference to a “Preliminary Ecological Assessment” that was conducted in late July. While that study alluded to several species possibly endangered, the state asserted that installations around the facility were erected to shield those in the surrounding area.

By now you might have seen a video clip circulating on social media of a defiant and terrified young Scottish girl wielding a knife and a hatchet to fend off the advances of a migrant man who allegedly had been harassing her and her younger sister. You can hear the fear and anger in their voices, a mix of desperation and rage and confusion. You can also hear the man’s voice, taunting them. At one point one of the girls cries out, “Don’t touch my little sister, she’s only twelve!”

You might also have heard how the story ended: the police arrested the girl for possession of a bladed weapon. They didn’t detain or even investigate the migrant man.

The entire sordid history of Britain’s civic collapse — stretching back decades to the Rotherham rape gangs scandal and forward to today — is in some ways contained in the striking image of this wisp of a girl with knife and hatchet in hand, facing down a predatory migrant. She is clearly desperate, abandoned by the adults who were supposed to protect her, sold out by the political leaders who were supposed to maintain the cohesion and safety of her city, reduced at last to brandishing crude weapons to defend herself from foreign men brought to her native land against her will.

Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker signed two new laws Friday to further aid the abortion industry, one spreading abortion pills on college campuses and another solidifying the state as a “safe haven” from pro-life laws.

HB3709 makes abortion and contraception pills available on Illinois college campuses and removes “approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration” from the definition of “emergency contraception.” HB3637 shields abortion providers from out-of-state prosecutions for helping facilitate abortions in pro-life states.

“At the end of that movie (2019’s Avengers: Endgame), all the women of the Avengers come together for the final battle. That’s how I feel about the women here today, and the women in the General Assembly who have led this fight,” Pritzker said at a signing event, The Center Square reported. “Our job right now is to protect Illinois and its residents from the onslaught coming from Washington and neighboring states, and to provide a safe haven for women across the country seeking to have their rights protected.”

Restricting u-turns is now homophobic, and at this point, it would probably be a lot easier if the powers that be provided a list of all the things that are not anti-gay.

Silver Lake, a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles known for its high hipster population, has officially taken down the last two “No U-turn” signs because they were supposedly put in place to prevent gay men from “cruising” and picking up other gay men.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News:

Getting rid of the signs was long overdue for many, including Donovan Daughtry, a gay man who five years ago moved to Silver Lake, known as being LGBTQ-friendly.

Two years ago, Daughtry reached out to L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman’s office about the signs after learning about them from a podcast hosted by Chris Cruse, founder of queermaps.org, an online archive of 150 years of queer history in L.A. On Monday, moments after he helped take down the last sign, Daughtry said, “This is a small effort, but just to have a sign that I would have to walk past with my dog every day be taken down meant a lot.”

Oh, geez. Cry me a river, Karen. This is how you know these people are privileged. They can literally go and complain that they don’t like a sign and city officials will get rid of them just so they don’t have to look at them. You really can’t get more spoiled than that, and they will still turn around and pretend they are victimized.
