This week saw a horrific tragedy, as Americans mourned Catholic school children murdered in cold blood by a crazed gunman. Many others were injured and deeply traumatized. Before discussing anything else, we hold them in our hearts and keep them in our thoughts.
Revelation 21:4 — “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
POTUS Signs EO Banning Flag Burning
President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning flag burning, citing its use by leftist groups as a violent and incendiary act no longer protected by the First Amendment. Recent incidents, including anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and Seattle in June 2025, involved agitators burning American flags under the guise of “protesting” federal policies.
In August 2024, anti-Israel demonstrators in Chicago burned U.S. and Israeli flags during the Democratic National Convention, pushing police lines and leading to detentions. Similar acts occurred in July 2024 in Washington, D.C., during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit, resulting in eight federal arrests.
In June 2024, an anti-Israel mob in New York and, in September 2023, communists protesting a Jason Aldean concert also desecrated flags. Trump’s order emphasizes prosecuting such acts to restore respect for the flag, viewing them as provocative and threatening to national unity.
Key passages in the President’s executive order include:
“Our great American Flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America, and of American freedom, identity, and strength… Over nearly two-and-a-half centuries, many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled, and died to keep the Stars and Stripes waving proudly.
“Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. American flag burning is also used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their nationality and place of birth.”
NY Communist Mayoral Frontrunner Can’t Lift, Gets Humiliated by Beautiful Woman
Zohran Mamdani, the socialist New York City mayoral candidate known for his anti-American and pretentious victimhood narrative, faced public humiliation after struggling to bench press 135 pounds during a campaign stop. Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimming champion and women’s sports advocate, mocked Mamdani’s weakness, noting that she easily lifted 165 pounds at a lighter body weight.
Social media erupted, with critics such as Ian Miller and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo questioning Mamdani’s strength and leadership ability. Gaines’ sharp critique highlighted Mamdani’s self-inflicted embarrassment, exposing his physical and symbolic inability to carry the weight of leading New York City.
Let’s see: a leftist guy who hates America, lectures Americans about his sick third-world views, brags about his own victimhood, thinks crying is empowering, but also puffs himself up and talks a big game… and then realizes that how “strong” he feels is not the same as how un-strong he is in reality.
Sounds like a typical, textbook leftist man. Keep living your truth, you precious little snowflake. But for your own safety, don’t ever try lifting alone.
The Tragic Shooting This Past Week in MN
This week, a disturbed 23-year-old man opened fire on children praying during Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The horrific attack claimed the lives of two innocent children and wounded 18 others, though initial reports counted 17.
The shooter, a biological male who identified as transgender, carried out the heinous act. His manifesto revealed chilling intent, filled with hateful words directed at his future victims, at God, at President Trump, and even at himself. After attacking the schoolchildren, the shooter took his own life.
Since the shooting, there has been considerable political posturing by the mainstream media and politicians. The spins and arguments are already prominent online. For now, we prefer not to add to that firestorm. Instead, we desire to pray for the lives lost, the survivors scarred by this unspeakable trauma, and the families and friends of all those affected by this tragedy.
Matthew 5:4 — “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 — “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
Air Force Veteran Killed by Democrat on J6 Will Receive Military Funeral
Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran killed during the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest, has been granted full military funeral honors, reversing a prior denial by the Biden administration.
Following a review prompted by Judicial Watch’s petition, the Air Force acknowledged the error in the initial decision. The ceremony will include an honor guard, the playing of Taps, and the presentation of the American flag to her family. This decision honors Babbitt’s service and fulfills her family’s request for recognition.
Former SNL Cast Member Recalls Toxic and Dysfunctional Culture On Set
Devon Walker, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, revealed that the show’s set was sometimes “toxic as hell” in a candid Instagram farewell post. He described his three-year tenure on the far-left program as a mix of rewarding and dysfunctional experiences, likening the cast to a “f—ed up lil family.”
Walker, who joined in 2022 and left before Season 51, is among several cast members exiting, including Emil Wakim and Michael Longfellow. The departures align with producer Lorne Michaels’ supposed plan to “shake things up” amid pressure to reinvent the show.
Creepy Leftists Fantasize Online About Trump Dying
On August 30, 2025, baseless rumors spread across social media claiming President Trump had died. The speculation was triggered by his brief absence from public view and amplified by Vice President JD Vance’s routine comments on succession.
Leftists eagerly celebrated the hoax, posting cash rewards for likes on “Trump is dead” claims and sharing morbid GIFs of cult-like rituals proclaiming his demise. These posts revealed a grotesque fixation on the president’s mortality. The troubling “celebrations,” including memes about gifting McDonald’s or dancing in the streets upon his death, underscore the morbid toxicity of political hatred.
Trump quickly debunked the speculation by appearing publicly to play golf in Virginia, highlighting how such rumors expose deep societal divisions fueled by misinformation and unchecked animosity.
And yes, this is a reminder of how leftists “live their truth”: creating a lie, gaslighting themselves, gaslighting each other, and simply being really, really disturbed and gross. It’s a mental health crisis, self-inflicted, with no end in sight.
NY Model and Paramedic Stabbed While Defending Others in Germany Endorses Trump’s Immigration Policies
John Rudat, a 21-year-old American model and paramedic, bravely intervened on a Dresden tram to protect two women from harassment by Syrian migrants. In the process, he was stabbed in the face with a six-inch blade, requiring emergency surgery. Despite the deep wound to his nose and lip, Rudat expressed pride in his scar and positivity about his recovery.
He highlighted the overwhelming support from locals, who view Dresden as his second home. Drawing from hundreds of similar accounts of migration-related safety declines, Rudat emphasized that such incidents underscore a growing public safety crisis in Germany.
He lauded President Trump’s successful and common-sense immigration policies as a model, stating that Germans would greatly appreciate similar measures to ensure safety on public transport and foster a secure environment for all citizens.
Leftist Idol, Wife-Beating, Human Trafficking, Non-English-Speaking MS-13 “Maryland Man” Tries Another Asylum Claim
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 gang member, human smuggler, and wife beater idolized by leftists, is attempting to dodge deportation by filing for U.S. asylum, claiming fear of torture and persecution if sent to Uganda.
Despite his denials, federal authorities have long identified him as a dangerous MS-13 affiliate based on gang indicators and informant tips. His wife also accused him of brutal physical abuse, including punching and scratching.
Now in ICE custody in Virginia after release from jail pending human smuggling charges, Garcia’s lawyers are arguing his right to fear persecution in Uganda. This latest legal maneuver continues to highlight his criminal history as a human trafficker and child predator, all while he fights to evade justice and remain in America.
ZERO Illegals Entered U.S. in Three Months
Under the Trump administration’s secure border policies, the U.S. has achieved three consecutive months with zero illegal immigrants entering the country, marking a historic milestone in national security. Over 1.6 million illegal immigrants have voluntarily self-deported, encouraged by strong enforcement of immigration laws and messaging that prioritizes legal pathways to citizenship.
These measures have led to the arrest and removal of hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens, reducing violence against American citizens and enhancing public safety. Economically, the policies reversed Biden-era trends, when 88% of new jobs went to foreign-born individuals, and have created 2.5 million additional jobs for American-born workers by fostering opportunities and reopening the economy.
The administration saved taxpayers approximately $15 billion in social program costs, plus over $13 billion through cutting inefficient contracts and renegotiating DHS vendor agreements. President Trump commended Secretary Kristi Noem and her team, affirming that the border is now secure and America is safer than it has been in years.
Trump Orders Voter ID, Paper Ballots, Election Integrity
Following through on his longtime pledge, President Trump will sign an executive order mandating voter ID for all votes to ensure election integrity through verified voting. The order limits mail-in voting to the very ill and overseas military, prioritizing secure in-person voting.
The plan replaces electronic voting machines with paper ballots and hand counts for greater transparency, though critics cite concerns over cost and accuracy. Typically, states have control over their region’s elections, which raises some legal questions. However, Trump’s proposal offers a practical approach to protecting democracy.
Chicagoans Call On Trump to Save City While Democrat Leaders Ignore Crime
Chicago residents are urgently calling for President Trump to federalize the police and address rampant crime, citing a violent weekend in which six people were killed, including a 5-year-old boy, and 27 others were injured. They describe the city as a “killing field,” plagued with robberies, muggings, and carjackings.
The calls for help contradict Democratic leaders like Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker, who are focused on “resisting” Trump instead of addressing crime in their cities. Supporters such as Aaron Del Mar and Robert Milan back Trump’s plan, recalling Rahm Emanuel’s success in reducing shootings through increased police presence.
Residents view Trump’s intervention as vital to restore safety. This is despite Democratic claims of declining crime rates and their sanctimonious cries of “protecting” people from Trump, all while turning a blind eye when these same citizens are shot, robbed, or murdered.
POTUS Eyeing GOP Convention Before 2026 Midterms
Riding a wave of electoral victories, President Trump is considering an innovative national GOP convention before the 2026 midterms to unite Republicans and maintain momentum.
Despite left-leaning Nate Silver polling showing Trump’s approval rating below 45%, the GOP’s strong fundraising, policy successes, and other factors often ignored by leftist statisticians may shield it from typical midterm losses.
Trump’s unconventional proposal aims to capitalize on his administration’s achievements in reversing Biden-era policies and driving national recovery. Democrats are also exploring a similar convention to bolster their candidates and revive any hopes of challenging Trump’s momentum.
