Wednesday morning a shooting occurred at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The gunman killed himself after killing two children, injuring fourteen children, and injuring three adults during the school’s “first all-school Mass of the year.” The shooter fired his weapons through a window into the church during Mass, specifically into the area where the children were praying. He was confirmed to be in possession of a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun. While there was a smoke bomb found at the scene, it had not been set off.
The killer, Robin Westman, who had changed his name from Robert claiming to be transgender, left behind a manifesto, and posted online images of firearms with the words “Kill Donald Trump” written on them. The shooter was in his early twenties, and changed his name to reflect his transgender name of Robin when he was 17 in 2020.
In his manifesto, Westman expressed personal despair, suicidal ideation, and rage against society, America, and “bills, jobs, and society at large.” In addition to his hatred for Donald Trump, in his writings he expressed hatred for Christianity – writing “F*** everything that you stand for.” Some reports indicate a possible tie to Satanic extremist groups like the “Order of Nine Angles,” and the “764” cult.
The manifesto was posted in a video before the attack, a video YouTube has since taken down. In the manifesto images in the video of some of the writings were written in Cyrillic. Diane Nerozzi of the New York Post translated some of the pages. In his manifesto and other writings:
- He spoke of “murdering filthy Zionist Jews.”
- Wrote slogans such as “Free Palestine.”
- Wrote, “I hate those entitled, penny-sniffing k*kes.”
- Mused about assassinating President Trump and the Jews.
- Decided that “killing children and innocent civilians would bring him the most joy.”
- Said he had been suicidal for several years, and wanted to take others out with him.
- Wrote: “I don’t want to do it to spread a message. I do it to please myself. I do it because I am sick.”
- Also in the journal: “I don’t think I could just take myself out. I would need to do something with my final act.”
- Named groups he considered “greedy” executives, including Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
- Stated he was racist against Jews and people of color, and had thoughts about school shootings since the seventh grade.
- He wrote he was inspired by Sandy Hook and Adam Lanza.
- Wrote, “I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.”
- According to the FBI, Westman “glorified past shooters, hated God and religious conservatives, and specifically targeted Catholic churchgoers.”
- In one video uploaded by Westman, a body target on his wall had an image of Jesus Christ on the head of the target.
After all of that information was released, the Minneapolis Police Chief claimed, “I have no information to share on a motive.”
No motive? No admitting that the leftist Cultural Marxist progressive ideology might have had a hand in sending this loony over the edge? Even John Miller of CNN in a dishonest speech to Jake Tapper that “it’s now clear the…shooter did not have a specific motive and there won’t ever be a specific motive because his manifesto was kind of rambling and he hated everybody.”
Not only was there an apparent motive, it was also planned, considering this was the first opportunity at the school he graduated from and the school that his mother used to work for to attack children. It was, after all, their first all-school Mass of the school year.
Chalk one up for the progressive left’s “nothing to see here” attitude. But don’t worry, they will find a false claim of fault somewhere – and then call for more gun control.
Info Wars has reported that federal deep state forces have attempted to cover-up the terror attack by scrambling to take down the shooter’s various online pages.
The Anti-American Swamp’s accomplices in the leftist media also made sure to go to work on the story, ensuring that they honored Westman’s feminine “pronouns.” The Washington Post, ABC News, NBC News, Daily Mail, and others referred to the young gunman as a “she” and “her” to accommodate his mental illness. The Minnesota Star Tribune referred to Westman as his mother’s “daughter.” One CNN reporter (CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez) straight-out lied about the firearms used, claiming in a statement that the semiautomatic firearms used could fire “dozens of bullets” with a single pull of a trigger. That kind of function is only available with a fully automatic, a firearm that is nearly impossible to get one’s hands on (for most people in most circles). He’s either an ideologically-conditioned liar, a complete idiot, or so uninformed he knows so little about guns that he’d be better off reporting about rock fights.
The anti-Christian ideological Left’s guns were firing both barrels after the shooting as well, with the Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey slamming Christians for praying after the shooting, mocking Christianity by saying that the victims already prayed while they were being targeted. His verbal attack followed the request for prayer by the church that had been targeted, whose call for prayer, they said, was during an “impossible situation.”
- “In this time of darkness, let us commit to being the Light to our children, each other and our community.”
The media and leftist politicians failed to mention that two years prior the non-profit schools, including Catholic schools, in Minnesota requested from Democratic Governor Tim Walz funding to help with security at their schools (you remember Walz – the bug-eyed “let’s put condoms in boy bathrooms” running-mate of Kamala Harris during her failed 2024 presidential campaign) like they were already doing for public schools. The letter referenced recent shootings and attacks against private schools, such as the other trans shooting at a Christian school in Nashville. Truth be told, the best security would have been to simply put guns in the hands of a number of members of the church staff – good guys with guns are always affective in stopping bad guys with guns.
President Trump, in response to the shooting, signed a proclamation honoring the Minneapolis Catholic School victims shot down by the twisted individual, and proclaimed that flags need to be flown at half-staff. Trump’s Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, stated that the FBI is investigating the shooting as domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics.
Jessie Watters delivered in his opening monologue, “…two years ago another trans 20-something walked into a Christian school in Nashville with a rifle and shot 3 kids and 3 adults. They [the media] buried the manifesto and locked down the case…we’ve seen trans shootings in Colorado and in Maryland. They even shot up an ice facility in Texas. And it seems like half of Antifa is trans. A couple of they/thems just got popped for firebombing Teslas….statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence. That’s not villainizing, that’s reality…the left is weaponizing trans kids and turning them into culture warriors. And they’ve been turned loose against the church, schools, and Trump…[it is a] trans…militant wing, and it’s out for blood. They’re taking lives, defiling churches…there’s a growing trans epidemic and they [leftist leaders and media] won’t admit it. They created a crisis and then lie about it and blame you for not being compassionate. But their fake compassion is getting people killed.”
This is the consequence of “affirming” the sickness, rather than treating it. We need to call out those pushing this evil, and exclaim from the mountaintops that they have blood on their hands. This transgender gunman was able to do what he did because he was encouraged to be sick, and lived in a “trans refuge” State. The delusion of gender confusion is being fed for political reasons, and now people are dying because of the Cultural Marxist attempt to destroy God’s creation (men, women, and family).
The establishment Democrats and their leftist allies have revealed that they believe our children belong to them. That those children must be fed a steady diet of “transgender” delusion and sexual fantasy. And it all began with the agenda to normalize homosexuality, celebrating debauchery and X-rated acts of public exhibitionism in front of children and strangers. It has been a celebration of sin – pride – and indoctrinating young people during the first two decades of their lives with non-stop sexual deviancy. These kids were taught at an early age that fat, hairy men wearing lipstick and some straps of leather is an example of civil rights, and anyone who even questions it are bigots, haters, and deserve to be canceled…or worse. While the homosexuals flaunt their masturbatory excess in front of everyone and Democrat-controlled teachers’ unions and Hollywood and all of the other institutions the leftists have infiltrated call it “virtuous,” drag queens will continue to poison our society, and specifically our children, with strip-teases and twerking in front of kindergartners during “story time.” If we don’t stop this madness the Democrat-controlled medical community will continue to call chopping up children’s genitals the “affirming” thing to do, and continue their practice of mutilating bodies and sterilizing them forever because if you don’t you are some kind of hater. They ruin lives. They destroy childhood. And they are somehow succeeding in calling this madness normal, and convincing a certain segment of the population that it must be celebrated. It is as the days of Noah, the fall of Greece and Rome, and Sodom & Gomorrah, with sexual overindulgence and exploitation overtaking common sense and common decency. And they did it with creeping incrementalism. From the occasional gay kiss to gay marriage to “love is love’ to full blown gay orgies in plain view. And if you don’t agree, they’ll put you out of business for not baking their cake, get Christians fired from their jobs, and close down Christian businesses and non-profits for daring to question them. They say they are calling for compassion, but the homosexual (and other sexual deviancies) political agendas seek seizing the culture, seizing political power, and crushing anyone who dares to stand in the way and dare to even make a comment that they claim offends them.
They denounce you as a bigot for speaking the truth, and for truly having compassion for these folks by warning them of the dangers of their behavior. I refuse to condone the insistence that a child can be born in the wrong body, I refuse to be accused of committing violence against trans people with my words or thoughts, I refuse to let them have God’s rainbow, and I refuse to embrace their homosexual idolatry. I don’t care if my contemporaries tell me that it is a subject that we shouldn’t touch, and I refuse to call these sexual deviancies anything other than what they are: habitual sin and satanically driven.
And no, that does not mean I hate homosexuals. God wants everyone to embrace salvation, and if you are willing, He will embrace you with salvation – but when you come to Christ, the conviction of the Holy Spirit will create conflict. That’s why when homosexuals give their lives to the Lord, they become former homosexuals. Light and darkness cannot occupy the same space. The light of the Lord extinguishes the darkness of sexual sin when one dies unto themselves and places it all in God’s Hands.
My message to my opposition on this is that you don’t have to continue to pray at the altar of Pagan idols. You don’t have to embrace the idiotic erasure of sex, or sexual normalcy. You don’t have to live lives with an ideology that leads many to suicide, murder, and loneliness. God accepts you as you are, but if you come to Him, he will change you to be the person He Created you to be.
And understand, I understand the plight. I grew up around the homosexual community and I understand the pain of such a plight. I understand how sexual sin is like a drug addiction, becoming a never-ending need for more and more, to become as nasty as possible, and then more – and more often than not for the purpose of poking God in the eye.
Which means we need to get our churches in order. God’s people cannot fight the spiritual enemy if they set one foot in the world, and fly those flags and fall into the trap. How can we get our cultural house in order and our political house in order if we don’t get our godly house in order?
