The Media Dismissing The Transgender Factor In This School Shooting Are Enabling Another One

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s truly as if the news media wish for more transgender psychotics to commit mass murders before offing themselves. Why else would they look at what happened in Minneapolis this week and continue insisting there’s no correlation at all between a potentially violent mental break and the irrational belief that a man can become a woman?

After a gunman identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman — originally Robert before his mother apparently allowed him to legally change his name at 17 — shot up a Catholic school’s church in Minneapolis on Wednesday, the media got to work, both treating the suspected killer as if his gender dysphoria was entirely incidental and belittling anyone who suggested otherwise.

The New York Times captured that dynamic best under the headline, “Minneapolis Suspect Knew Her Target, but Motive Is a Mystery.” The “her” was a deliberate word choice for a person we’re still learning about a day later. And what we did learn was that, according to the New York Post, Westman deeply regretted his attempts to become female, writing in a journal, “I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.”

But the Times wants the public to believe there’s nothing significant about being a shooter who tried swapping his gender, so — it’s ma’am!

Throughout the article, the Times refers to Westman as “she” and “her” and then, nine paragraphs in, attacks the people who dared notice that this isn’t the first, second, or third time in recent years where a “transgender” person has committed mass violence. “On social media,” the article said, “some conservative activists have seized on the shooter’s gender identity to broadly portray transgender people as violent or mentally ill.” (Read more from “The Media Dismissing The Transgender Factor In This School Shooting Are Enabling Another One” HERE)

Palantir CEO Peter Thiel to Lead Off-the-Record 4-Part Series on the Antichrist

/26 Comments/in , /by

Tech billionaire and Palantir CEO Peter Thiel, best known for co-founding PayPal and overseeing one of the world’s most powerful surveillance companies, is preparing to deliver a four-part lecture series on the biblical figure of the Antichrist. The events, hosted by the Commonwealth Club and organized by the Acts 17 Collective, will run on Sept. 15, Sept. 22, Sept. 29, and Oct. 6.

Promotional materials frame the series as a sweeping study of theology, literature, and the “politics of the Antichrist,” with Thiel citing thinkers like René Girard and Jonathan Swift. The lectures won’t be recorded, and entry is only available as a full-series pass, adding to the secrecy surrounding the project.

But the question hanging over the events is less about theology and more about Thiel himself. Why is one of Silicon Valley’s most powerful, secretive, and politically connected figures suddenly posturing as a religious authority — and why now?

Critics say the choice of Thiel as a Christian lecturer on the Antichrist is bizarre, given his contradictions and controversial history. Thiel, after all, is not a conventional Christian voice. He is openly gay, married to investor Matt Danzeisen, and has poured millions into U.S. politics. His company, Palantir, builds surveillance software used by intelligence agencies and police worldwide. Donald Trump has enlisted him to help craft a federal data-sharing order that watchdogs fear could evolve into a government super-database.

And now, Thiel is positioning himself as a Christian guide to spotting the signs of evil. Thiel himself has speculated that the Antichrist will seize control by promising “peace and safety.”

The timing makes the move even stranger. In 2023, Miami police investigated the death of Thiel’s former romantic partner, model and influencer Jeff Thomas, who fell from a luxury high-rise in what was swiftly ruled a suicide. Thomas, who once described himself as being “kept” by Thiel in exchange for cars and a $13 million Hollywood Hills mansion, had given a candid interview before his death, calling the relationship stressful and “like living in a dollhouse.”

“He wanted me to get the nicest car, the nicest house,” Thomas said, suggesting the arrangement left him feeling owned. “It was compensation for giving up my freedom.”

Police sources confirmed that Thiel was expected to be interviewed as part of the probe, but the investigation closed quickly. To this day, questions linger over how such a powerful figure’s private life intersects with his public influence.

So as Thiel prepares to lecture on the Antichrist, critics say the irony is hard to ignore: a billionaire gay conservative with deep ties to government surveillance, linked to a mysterious death, now stepping into the pulpit to define good and evil for the public.

Kirk Cameron Warns Taylor Swift ‘Mocks God,’ ‘Celebrates Explicit Sin’ in Her Music

/7 Comments/in , /by

Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift’s cultural influence, warning that the pop star “mocks God, normalizes sin” and “glorifies lust and rebellion” in her wildly popular music.

In a recent Instagram post, the 54-year-old father of six, known for his roles in “Growing Pains” and recent faith-based projects, said Swift’s latest work amounts to “discipleship” for young people.

“What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? You get the most powerful sermon that America’s youth will hear this year,” Cameron said. “She mocks God in her lyrics. She normalizes sin, she glorifies lust and rebellion as if this was womanly empowerment. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship.”

Cameron added that Swift’s influence over fans, many of whom are teenagers, can unfortunately serve as a substitute for parental guidance.

“She doesn’t have any kids of her own, but raising kids is hard. Why get into all that when she can just disciple your kids and train them up in the way that she would like for them to go?” he said.

FBI: School Shooter Targeted Religion in Hate-Fueled Attack

/4 Comments/in , /by

The suspect in the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School expressed hatred of Christianity in writings and videos released before the attack, federal officials said Wednesday.

According to investigators, 23-year-old Robin Westman posted a lengthy manifesto on YouTube that included images and writings mocking Christian faith. One image showed a picture of Jesus Christ pinned to a body target, while one of his firearm magazines bore the words “Where is Your God?” written in marker.

In a recovered notebook, authorities found a drawing of what appeared to be Westman speaking to a “demon” in a mirror. The figure in the sketch advised him to take his own life, according to investigators.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the case is being investigated as both an act of domestic terrorism and an anti-Catholic hate crime.

“The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There were two fatalities, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old. In addition, 14 children and three adults were injured,” Patel said. “The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.”

Westman opened fire during a school Mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others before dying by suicide at the scene, authorities said.

Investigators are reviewing hundreds of pages of material and online postings recovered from Westman’s devices and residence to determine the full scope of his motives and influences.

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Sorority Over Admission of Transgender Member

/3 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by several former University of Wyoming sorority members who sued Kappa Kappa Gamma after the organization admitted a transgender woman.

U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson ruled that the private sorority is free to define membership requirements in its own governing documents, including its definition of “woman.”

“Nothing in the Bylaws or the Standing Rules requires Kappa to narrowly define the words ‘women’ or ‘woman’ to include only those individuals born with a certain set of reproductive organs,” Johnson wrote in his decision. He dismissed the case on the grounds that the sorority had not violated a contractual obligation.

The plaintiffs had argued that Kappa Kappa Gamma advertised itself as a “sisterhood for women only” and that they would not have joined had they known the organization admitted individuals who were not biologically female. They claimed they were misled and were victims of fraud.

According to court records, Kappa Kappa Gamma adopted a policy in 2022 defining a woman as “an individual who consistently lives and self-identifies as a woman” for purposes of recruitment.

The plaintiffs’ 2023 complaint stated their belief that “a woman is an adult human female” and argued that admitting transgender members undermined the meaning of membership.

Judge Johnson’s ruling leaves the sorority’s definition in place. Attorneys for the plaintiffs have not yet indicated whether they will appeal the decision.

Report: State Gained 43,000 Illegal Aliens in Two Years

/3 Comments/in , /by

Colorado saw an influx of about 43,000 illegal aliens between 2021 and 2023, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

The report found that the state’s unauthorized immigrant population increased from 160,000 in 2021 to more than 200,000 by 2023. Most of that growth was concentrated in and around Denver, the Denver News Gazette reported.

City officials estimated that approximately 43,000 illegal aliens entered Denver during the period, with about 20,000 remaining in the city. The Gazette reported that the influx has cost Denver taxpayers at least $100 million.

Nationally, Pew estimated that 14 million illegal aliens were living in the United States in 2023, surpassing the previous peak of 12.2 million recorded in 2007. The research center attributed the increase to changes in federal immigration policy.

“The increase from 2021 to 2023 was driven primarily by growth in the number of unauthorized immigrants who were living in the U.S. with some protections from deportation, such as immigrants paroled into the country and asylum seekers,” the Pew report said.

According to Pew, about six million illegal immigrants entered the U.S. in 2023, twice the number from 2022, as asylum rules were eased. By 2023, unauthorized immigrants accounted for one in four migrants entering the country, the report found.

Pew noted that the trend began to slow after the Trump administration reinstated stricter rules and started denying additional applications, though it said the full impact of those changes will take time to measure.

Six states were reported to have between 500,000 and 2.3 million illegal immigrants each: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.

Biotech CEO ‘Shocked’ by Uber’s Response After Being Left ‘for Dead’ in Assault by Illegal Russian Driver

/2 Comments/in , /by

The CEO of a biotechnology company is suing rideshare giant Uber, claiming he was attacked by one of its drivers and left with a brain injury.

Bryan Kobel, CEO of TC BioPharm, claims the attack happened after a dispute with a South Carolina driver in April. Kobel explained the conversation started as “innocuous,” but quickly escalated when the driver allegedly knocked him unconscious.

“I was shocked. Uber is a $200 billion company. When you get in a car with the Uber sticker on it, it carries that brand weight. It carries the trust that you have in that brand,” Kobel explained Tuesday on “America’s Newsroom.”

Kobel said he was stunned by the company’s response.

“In fact, he picks up an Uber ride about two minutes later after leaving me for dead,” Kobel said, noting that he contacted the company with hospital records, a police report and photographs of his injuries.

“About 48 to 72 hours later, Uber just deactivated my account.”

Kobel argues that Uber has failed to properly vet its drivers and has avoided taking accountability for what happened to him. (Read more from “Biotech CEO ‘Shocked’ by Uber’s Response After Being Left ‘for Dead’ in Assault by Illegal Russian Driver” HERE)

Minneapolis School Shooter ID’d as Trans Woman — While Disturbing Video Shows ‘Kill Donald Trump’ Scrawled on Gun Magazines

/3 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning Mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified as a transgender woman — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.

Robin Westman, formerly Robert Westman, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Sources confirmed that law enforcement is investigating a series of twisted videos that appear to be posted to YouTube by Westman, 23, in the hours before the massacre.

In one 20-minute video, a person believed to be Westman flips through a disturbing handwritten journal.

In the deranged writings, she gleefully fantasizes about “being that scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids” and reverently confesses admiration for the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.

In the video, titled “So long and thanks for all the fish,” Westman slowly turns the pages of the red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears to be schematic gun diagrams, one of them reading “Ruger Mark IV.” (Read more from “Minneapolis School Shooter ID’d as Trans Woman — While Disturbing Video Shows ‘Kill Donald Trump’ Scrawled on Gun Magazines” HERE)

Catholic School Shooting Suspect Reportedly Identified, Manifestos Found

By Daily Caller. Authorities have reportedly identified the man who police say opened fire on children at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday before killing himself.

Authorities identified Robin Westman, a man in his early 20s, as the gunman who killed two children while they attended Mass at Annunciation Catholic School, injured 17 other people and fatally shot himself Wednesday morning, local and national news outlets reported, citing law enforcement sources. Videos from a channel bearing Westman’s name were posted on YouTube around the time of the attack, showing disturbing footage featuring multiple guns, cartridges and ammunition with statements written on the weaponry such as “where is your God?” and other ramblings, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.

The videos, which the DCNF saved before they were deleted, show what appears to be Westman filming an array of weapons in a bedroom and writings on paper apologizing to his family. A thumbnail image from a four-year-old video on the channel shows a man whose face matches images of Westman shared by The New York Post.

“I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is … I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away,” a notebook shown on camera reads.

One message written on weaponry in the video said “Guy Bartkus,” an apparent reference to the man who authorities say blew himself up at a fertility clinic in California in May because he believed humans should not procreate. Another name written on a gun was “Rupnow,” the last name of a high school student who opened fire at a Christian school in Wisconsin in December before killing herself.

Other written messages in the videos show a seemingly incoherent mix of racial slurs, a pride flag, calls to kill President Donald Trump, the phrase “kill pedos,” pentagram symbols, and a statement that “6 million wasn’t enough,” apparently referring to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust. One of Westman’s guns was inscribed, “There is no message.” (Read more from “Catholic School Shooting Suspect Reportedly Identified, Manifestos Found” HERE)

Shooter’s Mother Reportedly Worked at Catholic School Targeted in Attack

/1 Comment/in , /by

The mother of the man who carried out a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school reportedly worked at the institution where the attack occurred, according to law enforcement sources cited by 11Alive.

Authorities identified the gunman as Robin Westman, who opened fire Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic School during a Mass service attended by students. Police said Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injured 17 others, including 14 children, before fatally shooting himself.

During a press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the victims were shot while seated in the pews. Witnesses described a man dressed in black carrying multiple firearms at the scene. Police confirmed Westman had a rifle, shotgun, and pistol.

A now-deleted YouTube channel bearing Westman’s name appeared to display a cache of weapons alongside anti-Christian messages, racial slurs, and other writings.

Authorities have not released details on the mother’s role at the school or whether it factored into the motive. The investigation remains active with assistance from federal law enforcement.

Trump Admin Asks SCOTUS For Relief In USAID Funding Case

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to block a lower court order attempting to compel the government to disburse billions of dollars in foreign grants.

In his emergency application, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer requested the justices to stay an order from D.C. District Court Judge Amir Ali. That directive instructed the Trump administration to disburse billions of dollars in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) grants for various nongovernmental organizations.

“This Court should stay the district court’s preliminary injunction requiring the government to make available for obligation the full amount of the funds Congress appropriated in the 2024 Appropriations Act,” Sauer wrote.

The case stems back to the early weeks of the administration, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio — in compliance with an executive order by President Trump — issued a freeze on all USAID grants. The move prompted legal action by various recipients of the funds, with plaintiffs filing their case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Like clockwork, Biden-appointed Judge Amir Ali issued a Feb. 25 directive ordering the Trump administration to resume distributing the grant money to their intended recipients. This ultimately led the government to file a motion with SCOTUS asking the high court to pause Ali’s ruling. (Read more from “Trump Admin Asks SCOTUS For Relief In USAID Funding Case” HERE)
