A second grader made the 911 call. That's interesting because you'd think and adult would have done it. We'll be getting more in coming days which will probably explain why this violent person decided that killing herself and others was "the best answer", which, of course, it was not any sort of best answer to anything.

Daughters went to a small Christian school in Louisiana where there was a girl sent from public school who had been causing trouble. Let’s pray for students like this that teachers recognize their attitudes and show them extra kindness, perhaps on a sports team then might like, something to encourage their hearts and feel valued. Above all, as I’m trying to teach my Grandblessings here in CA, 6 and 8, ‘Be Kind’! TBIYTC

Challenging times. Certainly Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. However, the trans gender movement is closely related to rebellion against God. The age old question of "loving the sinner, but not the sin." The Biblical definition of love is not that we think that everything is O.K. (love rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth) Essentially, God's love is that we should desire the best for everyone. Rebellion against God is not the best; as a matter of fact it is the worst and will result in terrible consequences. As Christians we must desire to "speak the truth in love" but yet at the same time we must strive to protect the innocent and restrain the evil. Could this tragedy have been avoided? Truly only God knows. But it did happen and we certainly cannot solve these problems without acknowledging the Truth.

Since the murderer is dead why do we need to know her name or see her picture? Why give her more infamy? If the names and pictures of school murderers are not mentioned in the Media this might lead to less shootings at schools.

Poster #3, transgenderism is not 'close to rebellion' against God, it IS rebellion against God. It rejects His design for His creation and tries to override His sovereignty. It tries to put the individual on His throne and make themselves in control. They reject God as God and choose instead to be their own god or ultimate authority. It will not end well for anyone involved in these pursuits.

Full Media Freakout Over ABC Settlement
with Trump

Donald Trump sued ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over the "This Week" host's lies about the judgment against Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case. ABC agreed to a $15 million settlement and a $1 million payment to Trump's lawyers. At issue in the case was Stephanopoulos' insistence that Donald Trump was found liable for raping Carroll--which was not the case. Here is the exchange that started it all. We can argue about how insane the case itself was--only a New York jury would have found Trump liable for something this absurd--but even assuming the verdict was reasonable, the jury specifically said that Trump did not rape Carroll.

At Mar-A-Lago yesterday, Donald Trump introduced Howard Lutnick, his pick to run the Commerce Department, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, who has pledged a $100 billion dollar investment in a tech-focused project that could see the hiring of 100,000 new American jobs. After Trump's comments on the economic future he foresees once he officially takes office on January 20th, he did something the American President has not been able to do for four years - conduct a press conference where the questions and questioners were not pre-selected by a very nervous White House Press Office.

However, alerts were triggered due to the possibility of falling debris from the interception. Generally, only the Arrow missile defense system is capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, as opposed to the Iron Dome, which shoots down lower-grade rockets.

Welp. Everyone's best guess was correct.

Defense Minister Israel Katz reportedly told Knesset lawmakers on Monday that Israel is “closer than ever” to closing a deal with Hamas to free the hostages held in Gaza, bolstering Arab media reports of heavy optimism on the chances for an agreement in the coming weeks. Katz’s comments to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee were made behind closed doors but leaks of his remarks were reported widely in the Hebrew press. “Israel is closer than ever to another hostage deal,” Katz was quoted as saying. He added that the less said the better, echoing comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday after

Bluesky advertises itself as the X-alternative for the nice, compassionate left. It claims to be less toxic and a place for civil discussion, without all the misinformation that plagues X. What crap. Bluesky is a leftist sewer in which anybody who deviates from leftist orthodoxy is not only shunned but outright threatened, often with death. That's not hyperbole, and to demonstrate how awful it is let's discuss the case of Jesse Singal. For those of you who don't know, Jesse is one of the leaders of the gender-critical movement, focused mainly on saving kids from alphabet ideology and its sick consequences.

Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it. In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States. This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.
