If ever there were an example of the perils of the Democrat approach to crime and social disorder, it is Minneapolis, ground zero of the George Floyd/defund-the-police movement that roiled the country five years ago, and a “sanctuary transgender state.” The deadly mass shooting of small children at Mass at Annunciation Catholic School Wednesday brings home the tragic cost of a disordered society, where evil rampages unchecked and those who would protect the vulnerable are handcuffed and pushed away. It’s too early to say exactly how, or even if, the tragedy could have been prevented. Yet Minnesota Democrats already have reached for their lazy gun-control mantra,

The shooter had posted regrets about his trans status, 'I wish I hadn't brainwashed myself (paraphrase)'. Maybe if Minnesota hadn't made conversion therapy for LBTQ folks illegal, this could have been prevented. So, of course, the oft-repeated mantra of blaming guns is voiced instead of the untreatable mental illness he now-tragically demonstrated.

dear miranda-the damnocrats didn't lose the plot-they killed it. officer chauvin is a political prisoner. st floyd is a martyr ... even after his 'sacred memorial' is blasted and burned by a thunderbolt from Heaven itself. but the blood-thirsty mad-dog political narrative lives on... in evil party leaders. wake up MN! find out who was funding that shooter...stop the lunacy and murder of your families. your politicians are murderous twisted sickos ... delighted w/ a greater blood sacrifice of innocent children by a tormented gun-toting young man...as they, frey walz klobuchar and the rest, can't get the cops moving, but condemn their victimised parents on nat;l tv.

Transgender sanctuary state......meaning that they will embrace the insane and go along with their delusions, making them even more unstable, rather than try to get them some psychological help to get their brain back to reality. Catering to the mentally ill is a disgusting, sick thing. Probably a mental illness of it's own, it certainly isn't grounded in reality.

Exactly what do "transgender" people need protection from? Why do they have more rights than anyone else.? People must think GOD is stupid. HE made it impossible for people to "transgender." Mutilating one's body does not accomplish anything but big pharma and doctors who must have flunked biology, get rich. Anyone who believes they can trans also must believe the "grass is greener on the other side!" These people need mental help instead of a butcher knife. Parents who condone this trans stuff, along with judges, doctors and nurses, should be stopped. Just look at Waltz transgender sanctuary state. Protect someone who should see a mental health doctor, along with his parents, and ignore the rest of the citizens who live in that state that are living their lives and threating no one, and now making fun of people who pray.

Dimocrats are the party of domestic terrorists. The leadership is egging on their lunatics. Mass shootings help their cause, or do they think. It sure helps fundraising.

As usual, Miranda nails it. “ Since most, if not all, of the lives saved are the young black men who usually fill mortuary slabs, it’s a rich irony that the loudest critics of Trump’s law-and-order push are the same Democrats who weaponized “Black Lives Matter” into an insane movement to defund the police.”

"where evil rampages unchecked and those who would protect the vulnerable are handcuffed and pushed away." Not just Minneapolis. Look at ANY large, Democ'RAT-run city. They're all the same. Chain-link fences with barbed wire around equipment storage lots, iron bars on the windows of houses. Unsafe in the daytime, Dangerous at night.

For how many years was this young man on hormone replademenn ttherapy -estrogen and anti-androgen - before his mother assisted him in legally changing his name his name because :"he identifies as a female" and he was not quite of legal age. Tje HRT therapy is complicated, a forever thing, and full of side effects and health risks. All of tjat is described here: https://physixis.com/articles/side-effects-male-to-female-hormone-therapy/ He was clearly a mental mess, believed he had causedd himself to be physically ill, and so forth. How did he feel about his mother's complicity in all this? Although he attended the school, was she (a former school employee) the nexus to this dreadful anger-filled action?

A disordered society? Or a society ruled over by those with disorders? When a society plays along with and celebrates mental illness you get things like mass shootings by unstable transgender people. Mentally ill people roaming the streets, living in homeless encampments should not be the norm but they are (thanks to activists protecting their "rights"). This is the breakdown of an orderly society. Not a sign of a progressive society.

I 'borrowed' most of this from Scott Miller on 'X': -Today's Annunciation Catholic Church shooter identified as trans. -The Nashville Christian shooter identified as trans. -The Lakewood Church shooter identified as trans. -The Colorado Springs shooter identified as non binary. -The Denver shooter identified as trans. -The Aberdeen shooter identified as trans. -The Iowa high school shooter was a trans activist. Gee, anyone else see a pattern here?

President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of having the Republican Party hold a convention just ahead of the 2026 midterms, as Democrats say they’re considering a similar idea. “The Republican Party is doing really well. Millions of people have joined us in our quest to MAKE AMERICA, GREAT AGAIN. We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

The heartbreaking mass shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday has brought the issue of transgenderism once again to the forefront of American conversations. Robert Westman was an unwell boy who, in 2019, decided he was a girl and officially changed his name to Robin. Westman was a minor at the time so his mother, Mary Grace Weston, signed the application. This is the second such attack by a transgender person on a Christian school. In March 2023, Audrey Hale killed six people, including three children, at the Covenant School in Nashville.

Two years before a shooter opened fire on students attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of independent and Catholic schools in Minnesota begged Democrat Governor Tim Walz for help securing their schools, according to a 2023 letter reviewed by The Daily Wire. The funding was never authorized. In a letter dated April 14, 2023 that specifically addressed “school safety in nonpublic schools,” Tim Benz, the president of MINNDEPENDENT and Jason Adkins, the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, stressed an “urgent and critical need in Minnesota to make sure our schools are secure and safe” in light of “recent, and continuing attacks, on our schools in this country and

France, Germany and the UK launched a 30-day process to reimpose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program on Thursday, sending a letter stating their intent to the UN Security Council. The three countries only had until October this year, 10 years after they originally lifted the sanctions, as a window where it would be possible to automatically reinstate the penalties, which include a complete embargo on arms sales to Iran. An Iranian deputy foreign minister said earlier on Thursday that Tehran would cease cooperation with the UN's nuclear agency if France, Germany and the UK reimposed so-called "snapback" sanctions that were halted as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.

I went to prison for defending the Constitutional separation of powers. John Bolton (an occasional contributor to The Hill) may well wind up in prison, too, if investigators uncover evidence and prosecutors decide to bring charges over his alleged classified disclosures. When Bolton wrote his book, “The Room Where It Happened” — reportedly receiving a $2 million advance — he wasn’t just dishing gossip. He was sharing information about Oval Office conversations and national security that should have stayed secret — either by law or under executive privilege.

The answer was not Trump alone. Indeed, irony abounds when Democrats resonate with the claims of the vestigial Never Trumpers that the MAGA movement “hijacked” the Republican Party. In characteristic projectionist fashion, the left is simply falsely attributing to their opposition the very hijacking that hit the Democratic Party. The Republicans are still the party of conservatism and traditionalism. But in the last decade, it adopted an expansionary middle-class agenda that has led to record party registration, its first popular presidential vote victory since 2004, and control of all three branches of government.

D.C. Democrats Are Furious At Trump For

Democrats in Washington, D.C., are furious — not because violent crime was spiraling out of control, but because President Donald Trump did something to stop it. A new Washington Post-Schar School poll found that roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose Trump’s deployment of the National Guard. The poll was conducted between Aug. 14 and Aug. 17 and surveyed 604 D.C. residents with a +/- 4.1 percentage point margin of error. This outrage was unsurprising, given that the propaganda press peddled the same narrative in recent days. A quartet of so-called journalists at CNN reported on Aug. 14 that a crowd in D.C. was “outraged by federal law enforcement presence.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James is going to need a bigger fish or a smaller trophy wall. For months, James has paraded her victory over President Donald Trump in her civil judgment of half a trillion dollars. It did not matter that many of us denounced the judgment as grotesque and raw lawfare. Now, however, the appellate court has replaced that mounted Marlin with a mere minnow. It threw out the financial penalty as unconstitutional and unwarranted. Even that downsized catch may have to be pulled down, since Trump can appeal the decision to leave the injunctive relief — including limits on doing business in New York — in place.

Florida’s immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will probably be empty of detainees within days, a state official has said, indicating compliance with a judge’s order last week that the facility must close. The Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the order by federal court judge Kathleen Williams that the tented detention camp in the Florida Everglades, which attracted criticism for its harsh conditions, must be dismantled within 60 days. But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.

The black community’s disengagement from ordinary acts of civic responsibility is harming America as a whole, but mostly, it’s harming blacks.
