The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman is not cooperating with police in the investigation, authorities announced on Thursday. Mary Grace Westman, who worked at Annunciation Catholic School, which was targeted by the deranged 23-year-old gunman Wednesday morning, has not contacted police — nor responded to their attempts to reach her, Minneapolis police announced at a press conference Thursday. “We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said.

Either she is struck with grief or, she purchased his guns and ammo for him.

I think she's culpable in this. Her son was nuts-gender confused, sadistic, hero-worshipped famous mass killers, made disturbing videos, armed to the teeth-and somehow she didn't notice? Other than the fact that she had to grant parental approval for a name change, how could you not know your son was, well, not well?

The guy whines he couldn't afford transgender items, but that looked like a very expensive arsenal of weapons he had collected.

Fr. Nix (Padre Perigrino) has an interesting take on his Substack page titled Liberal Catholicism is the Way of Death. The mom was supporting her son's transgenderism while working at the parish. Infowars says the house had a black lives matter sign on Google that is now blurred. These things don't happen in conservative Catholicism.

Some are happy to say the son does not inherit the guilt of the father, but in these situation parents are increasingly targeted for retribution for the sins of the child... I wouldn't have any contact with authorities. Let the lawyers do their job. "Anything you say..."

Whack job tranny kids often have whack job parents, almost always the mother, with the father either not present, or trying to fight against the insanity. She probably pushed him into it.

She only has two choices. Co-operate fully and risk the authorities deciding you are guilty because the whole country is out for blood, or use your 4th and 5th amendment rights and make them prove their case without your help. I think the lawyer is the best option. She knows her kid was a psycho. I'm sure she didnt like it and along the way tried to make him normal. Any parent would. When it became clear he was not going to become normal she may have given up and played along to salvage something of his self destroyed life. It didnt work. Anyone who has ever tried to raise a teen knows the "phases" they go through. Sometimes its a bully. Sometimes its a goth. Sometimes its drugs or booze. Sometimes its being a slut. Sometimes its skipping school frequently. Its always frustrating and all parents do the best they can. Usually the phase passes. Sometimes it doesn't.

The assailant’s mom worked at the school of the church where the attack occurred. This clarifies. Possibly some psychoemotional mother issues are in play here.

So the mom is not cooperating with police. OK. But what about the dad? Why hasn't a single reporter from ANY media asked about his involvement in the family? Are the parents divorced? If so, when? Was it about different trans tolerances? We don't even know if Robert was an only child? If there aren't siblings, is there an extended family? Where was Robert living? With his father? Was he supporting himself or was the father providing financial assistance? Has the dad lawyered up? Why do journalists seem to have NO interest in the father's role in the family? Where is the media frenzy?

She may be culpable in some ways...bought him the guns, knew he was unstable and didn't get him help etc. Or she just may be overcome with horror and grief at what he did and wants no contact with anyone. She will have to live with what he did for the rest of her life and I can actually feel some sympathy for her and what a horrible thing that her son did and as she will remembers the little baby she loved so much.

I continue to believe that he harbored deep anger toward his mother for oste3rint his gender dysphoria. He didn't just "brainwash" himself. He had (her) help. I wpmder how many of these mothers of male to female grannys wanted a girl and pushed that in their sons? Why would she need a criminal defense attorney? That is strange. Dad James Westman lives in another home nearby. Will he be heard from?

Try this one on: A boy is born to a mother who is disappointed. She wanted a girl. So she encourages him to "become" a girl to gain her favor. At some point the hormone "therapy" begins. Then his body and brain begin to be scrambled. But all the while thew mother approves and facilitates. This scenario may have caused dad to leave? As for the "items" he could not afford, it's my guess that those were the surgeries. He was stuck with just what the hormones had done to him. I read about that "HRT yesterday. The side effects can be significant and must be monitored.

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

She was arrested because the tools she used to scare away the predator were a knife and an axe. A 14-year-old girl in Scotland has been charged with possession of a knife after viral footage showed her and another minor being approached and filmed by at least one foreign man. The girl brandishes a knife and an axe before walking away from the scene. The incident occurred on Saturday evening in the Lochee area of Dundee. "She will be reported to the relevant authorities,"

And much like the condition of the national media industry, there is no desire exhibited by them to change what is not working. And this week it became even worse.

Democrats have long attacked the idea of offering “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families in the wake of mass shootings, arguing that political action is needed, particularly gun control legislation.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to expand a fast-track deportation process, ruling that the broadened application of the sped-up process creates “a significant risk” that immigrants who may be entitled to stay in the U.S. will be hustled out of the country. In a decision issued Friday evening, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb granted a request by an immigrant advocacy group to put a hold on a pair of policies the administration issued in January that made millions more immigrants eligible for expulsion from the U.S. under a process known as “expedited removal.”
