The 1965 Motown hit, First I Look at the Purse by the Contours, can be rewritten to frame the tragedy at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis with the title: First I Look at the Mother.
Mary Grace Westman, who looks a lot like her son, Robert Westman, the deranged trans woman who killed 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski and wounded countless other children and three adults, was described by the legacy media as having worked at the school as an administrative assistant until her retirement in 2021.
The mother — who has hired a criminal defense attorney and refuses to talk to police — was also described as a “devout Catholic” who opposed abortion and engaged in protests in front of Planned Parenthood. Yet this same mother and “devout Catholic” in 2019 petitioned the court to give Robert the legalized name “Robin.”
She then encouraged friends and family to use “Robin’s” preferred pronouns.
Here we have the heart of the problem: the gender ideology/pronoun movement has infected every strata of society, even infiltrating churches and changing traditional definitions of “devout.”
How do you go from opposing abortion to approving and even celebrating your minor child’s wish to change his biological sex?
It was mom, after all, who greased the engines to have her minor son legally identify as a female. She may have had reservations about his trans identity later on, but once the name change became legal, son Robert was well on his way to violent manifesto-land where he began to feel more and more confused and even regretted becoming trans, admitting in his “kill the children” manifesto that he should not have allowed himself to become brainwashed.
Even a mentally ill killer could plainly see that he had been brainwashed.
And who brainwashed him? The media, CNN, the Biden-Harris administration, the Human Rights Campaign, slogans like “Trans Rights are Human Rights,” and the false glamour attributed to men who think they can become women just by claiming they are.
Add to this the fact that so many Democrats have stated publicly they cannot define what a woman is, and you have a culture resembling a southern California landslide.
The Left normalizes mental illness and tries to make it look cool. In Minnesota, a so-called trans refuge state, a child can be taken away from a parent if that child — influenced by the “trans is cool” culture — announces to parents that he/she is transgender and wants treatment but the parents refuse.
The state of Minnesota can also be blamed for this tragedy. As one social media commenter observed, “What do you expect when you have a lunatic kid raised in a die-hard, Democrat, progressive and liberal state? It was a disaster waiting to happen.”
Let’s also look at the complicit attitudes of clergy, both Catholic and Protestant, for not taking a stronger stand against gender ideology in the pulpit.
Milquetoast clergy err on the side of caution, afraid to offend or alienate liberal members of their congregations, so they leave crucial issues like gender ideology untouched in homilies while concentrating on “benign” sins like gossip without ever mentioning serious sins that carry a heavy weight.
These priests and ministers don’t mention big sins like bowing before the transgender cult’s catechism, which states children can be born into the wrong body. Clergy don’t mention these big sins because they have been normalized and politicized by Democrats.
For a devout Catholic to think that helping to transition your minor child is a show of love and not a sin suggests that Catholicism is failing its believers. It’s also an indicator of how menacing and far-reaching gender ideology infiltration has become.
I recently had a short conversation in my parish church with the mother of three sons. When the subject turned to politics, she announced that while she was neither right nor left, she didn’t want the government telling her — or women in general — what to do with their bodies, and she had no trouble with the use of pronouns.
I backed up in disbelief. Did I hear what I had just heard?
Ironically, just twenty minutes prior to our conversation and in the spot where we were standing, the air was filled with incense and chants to the Virgin Mary. Yet here was a supposedly “devout” woman defending abortion, the use of pronouns, and presumably trans surgeries.
How does the smoke of worship become the smoke of feminism?
If ordinary church-going women like this can become this confused about matters of faith and morals, what happens to a mentally ill 23-year-old who is told by the liberal media that Donald Trump is Hitler, a threat to democracy, and that the United States is on the threshold of fascism with concentration camps around the corner?
In March of this year a number of Catholic clergy jumped on the “equality” bandwagon and released a letter with the Human Rights Campaign condemning violence against transgender people.
While the condemnation of violence is always praiseworthy and the Christian thing to do, there was a larger, more obvious message in the script, since it was released and published on the Transgender Day of Visibility, a day set aside for the celebration of all things trans.
In other words, the text condemning violence was hidden among the larger text that celebrated transgender identity and the freedom to be trans, whether one is an adult or a minor.
Speaking at a press conference following the school attack, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis said those attacking transgender people had “lost their sense of common humanity.”
This is the same mayor who scoffed at praying for the murdered and the wounded at Annunciation Catholic because, in his mind, prayers really don’t mean anything. And how could they mean anything, given that the absence of religious theology is primarily responsible for the creation of far-left woke culture.
Far-left woke culture has become its own established faith.
This is why Mayor Frey, as observed by Bruce Bawer at FrontpageMag.com several years ago, “Abased himself at a memorial service for George Floyd, sobbing hysterically for over a minute, his entire body trembling and heaving, as he knelt by the creep’s casket…” You might call Mr. Frey’s tears far-Left theater, but they definitely were not prayers. Posturing for political gain is a more apt description.
“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” Mr. Frey continued, not even two hours after the tragedy occurred. “Anybody who is using this … as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity.”
Maybe it’s not hate the way you understand it, Mr. Frey. Maybe what is being villainized is a sickness that is being masked as something worthy of celebration.
Meanwhile on Reddit, some trans activists were celebrating the attack with comments like, “More dead Christians, lol,” and, “The trans community will not die laying down without a fight.”
One trans activist on social media even stated that there shouldn’t have been any children in that school in the first place because “we all know what priests and the Catholic Church do to children.”
Well, they do have a point about Catholic priests and children. It’s been a major problem for quite awhile. No point in lying about it now.
Yes, the Church needs to aggressively purge all homosexual priests, nuns, teachers, and administrators. The attacks on kids and young men must to stop.
Why are there so many homosexual priests and nuns? Because seminary (and convents) are where the kids are. And priests and nuns become teachers, and move up the chain to administrators, and even bishops and cardinals, where they seem to protect their own.
Catholic priests perving on children is horrible, yes, but the chances of that happening are roughly equal to the odds of being caught in a school shooting. More likely than it should be, but still highly unlikely. Acting like all priests are pedophiles is like believing every white person is a Nazi or every black person is a criminal. ‘Judge not, lest your judgement be turned upon you,’ should guide Christians everywhere. It’s hard, but doing the right thing when it’s difficult is supposed to be what sets Christians apart.
“One must never fail to pronounce moral judgment….
But to pronounce moral judgment is an enormous responsibility. To be a judge, one must possess an unimpeachable character; one need not be omniscient or infallible, and it is not an issue of errors of knowledge; one needs an unbreached integrity, that is, the absence of any indulgence in conscious, willful evil. Just as a judge in a court of law may err, when the evidence is inconclusive, but may not evade the evidence available, nor accept bribes, nor allow any personal feeling, emotion, desire or fear to obstruct his mind’s judgment of the facts of reality—so every rational person must maintain an equally strict and solemn integrity in the courtroom within his own mind, where the responsibility is more awesome than in a public tribunal, because he, the judge, is the only one to know when he has been impeached…
The precept: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” . . . is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself.
There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accessory to the torture and murder of his victims.
The moral principle to adopt in this issue, is: “Judge, and be prepared to be judged.” – Ayn Rand
Dear THX 1138:
Ayn Rand was no Bible scholar but ironically she does, by dumb luck, explain the meaning of Matthew 7:1 in the last full sentence of your quote, THX.
Jesus was cautioning us against hypocrisy whenever we pass judgment.
Kent
Even Google gets the theology:
“Judge not, lest ye be judged” is a biblical verse from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew (7:1). It serves as a caution against hypocrisy and a reminder to exercise humility, self-reflection, and compassion towards others, rather than condemning them for their faults. The core message is that the standard by which you judge others is the same standard by which you will be judged, encouraging a compassionate and humble approach to dealing with others’ perceived flaws.”
Condemnatory judgment is hypocrisy between sinners, but the magistrate is appointed to condemn what is evil. Romans 13:4 “For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.”
All people are free to discern right and wrong in ourselves and others.
There is a missing element in the discussion about when and when not to judge. The community, represented by its institutions, has a duty to judge and impose justice as appropriate. The individual members should not, should be forgiving and cleanse their hearts of unseemly attitudes. It is not for individuals to behave as if they are institutions. And institutions must not act as if they are forgiving individuals. Judge not that ye be not judged is an admonition to the individual. Society as a whole must act to establish justice and this is done through institutions and institutional arrangements.
Before you judge someone, you should first walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you do judge them, you’re a mile away from them, and you have their shoes!
sexual “indiscetion” (to use a gentle term) is far more pevasive than you suggest. I grew up in that church, as a child and teenage we attended two diffeent chuches. I had catholic gade and high school too. I was myself appoached by piests in both paished and high school. I pushed back. I guess wod got out, those wee the last.
The whole idea of celibate clegy is based on a lie. The whole “Blessed Mary always vi gin ” is plainly notbiblically suppoted. Jesus had 3 bothes,all named, and “sistes”, not named not counted, but plual thus two at least. Look it up youself.
BECAUSE all clegy become emsculated and have no di ect expeience with amilyissues they ae incompetent to coulsel well. No to mention the who life.le unnatual life they lead, cut off fom one of the usual and common activities of life
This sounds like a sectarian fundamentalist screed against Catholicism. The fact that not all priests are holy in no way impugns the commitment of men like John Paul II, Benedict XVI, or, in this country, bishops like Salvatore Cordileone and Joseph Strickland to the cause of Christ. Sexual behavior is not involuntary! One can give up sexual fulfillment in one’s zeal to carry out the work of Christ on earth. The idea that one cannot control one’s desires is just a symptom of wokeness.
When the ways of men take precedent over the ways of G-d, men move quickly in actualizing myriad evils to suit themselves
Pedophilia, secretively practiced in the church, is bad enough by causing a lifetime of heartache for the victims. However, most egregiously, it is the church’s resistance to holding these priests accountable in total condemnation of this evil. Instead, victims are paid off, priests are secretly moved to another parish and the parishioners are deliberately kept in the dark as these unsuspecting parents are entrusting their children to priests more than willing to violate them with impunity.
The numbers violated is empirical evidence of a moral collapse by the church that is encouraging a profound disobedience to G-d by asserting their abominable preferences for sexual gratification from children. Such heresy undermines the very love and trust extended to them as priests counted as representatives of G-d at the very heart of their positions!
Let these men stand before their savior and explain their right to violate and destroy the innocence of a child. But then again, my guess is they are atheists assuming this position precisely to have access to the sexual innocence they crave and neither the new Pope or others within the Vatican are willing remove these men from the priesthood, the church or to have them rightfully prosecuted by the law.
So, it’s not only the horror of pedophilia, it is also the church’s willingness to excuse this abomination and that moral turpitude is the REAL horror being inflicted.
LMAO
Mary Grace, you’re yipping out of both orifices, and BS’ing out of both simultaneously.
Statistically less so than at public schools. It’s a problem all over, and yes, the pervs all over need to be dealt with very harshly indeed. No need to paint everyone with the same brush, though. It is unfair and untrue.
Child sex abuse by public school teachers are much greater in number than about 1 percent of Catholic priests. Changes have been made regarding priests, but nothing is done about the myriad of public school teachers unless it is brought out to the public.
And we know what so called trans people do to kids too.
That is the Vatican II problem. Go visit “What Catholics Believe” at wcbohio.org and find a Traditional Catholic Chapel; you will find the true faith.
It is absolutely, btw, against canon law to enlist any man who has even an inkling of feminine siding; this is what Vatican II has done. Additionally, you can read several books on this topic to study what has happened within the walls of Rome, while Francis was flagrant, perhaps Leo is worse because he is sly and sneaky and not so overt.
So many souls are being misguided. First Protestants who look through the glass windows cannot see the Church and second those within the Novus Ordo, with the new Mass and all it’s horrible changes these have lost their reverence, their peace and they have become a Church that accepts and embraces the woke.
Mom sounds like a Democrat
“A big part of the reason why so many children of white progressive parents have identified as transgender during the last few years is that they can’t bear thinking of themselves as members of an oppressive class.”
Bruce Bawer, 9/11/2023 FrontpageMag.com
I have been saying this since Child Transing (and all adult male autogynephile Transing) began:
Transing is a simulacra of non-whiteness.
Transing is a “get out of white” free card.
Transing is a self-marginalizing totem-fetish offering made by terrified white progressives to magical Social-Ranking spirits as a form of fake atonement for pretend guilt over their neurotically-conceived fear of “moral” status demotion based solely on their now “evil” white skin colour.
Cunning disingenuous white progressive parents smear their own Facebook panic-feces/clown make-up on the faces of their children to masquerade their offspring as “oppressed”.
Transing sacrifices their child to the gods of Woke by forcing a place for their child, and thus themselves, on the intersectionality hierarchy ladder of Leftist “moral” purity, thereby redeeming the white progressive parents as “good”, meaning not “fascist”, and as subservient snivelling obedient nihilist lackeys of their Authoritarian State paymasters, deserving of their privilege because they, via their mutilated and thus “marginalized” children, are no longer “white” oppressors.
In other words, parents who Trans their own (and other people’s) children are human scum.
Point about wanting to NOT be white is valid.
Parents of trans is complicated – emotionally and on several levels.
To object to transition is to lose the child. Parents who object have little support in mental health community, medicine, or legally. All advice is to support their child as trans, to “affirm.” Their doctor or therapist is likely to see their upset or as their deficit. Out of love for child, they may support transition. Thus joining the Munchhausen by proxy trans club. Yes, you can judge them. It’s not always a political view though. It does becomes political across society.
Should a professional -doctor therapist – not wish to “ affirm” trans they may lose license and livelihood. Laws must changed to protect them.
I have seen trigger events-deaths in family, awkward kids, learning issues, depression, misdiagnosed as transgender. Hormones and even surgery can follow.. Some GP’s are handing out hormones to confused depressed kids teens and adults.
All this requires reform and regulation. .
Ultimately, altruism demands that we sacrifice reason and facts, that we sacrifice our minds, for the sake of others. Judge not that ye shall not be judged.
“If the religionist wing of conservatism is futile, the secular one is, perhaps, worse. The religionists preach the morality of altruism, knowing that the liberals and the extreme left are its much more consistent practitioners, but hoping—since consistency is a requirement of reason, not of faith—that a miracle will wipe out that fact. The secular conservatives solve the contradiction by discarding morality altogether, by surrendering it to the enemy and declaring that social-political-economic problems are amoral.” – Ayn Rand
I wish I had been a liberal arts major in college – then I could write psycho babble too.
Yeah, why care about your fellow human beings when you can be a dickhead instead?
Derp.
Altruism does not mean kindness or charity. It means that man is a sacrificial animal and that he has no right to live for his own well-being and happiness.
“Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible. The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute, is self-sacrifice—which means; self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction—which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good.”
“Altruism does not mean mere kindness or generosity, but the sacrifice of the best among men to the worst, the sacrifice of virtues to flaws, of ability to incompetence, of progress to stagnation-and the subordinating of all life and of all values to the claims of anyone’s suffering.”
– Ayn Rand
“The best thing you can do for the poor is not be one of them! But if you absolutely feel compelled to help a hungry man, for God’s sake, don’t just give him a fish, teach him how to fish!”
“You can’t lose with the stuff I use!”; “Some may say money is the root of all evil, but being in poverty is a damn shame!”; “The best thing you can do for the poor is not be one of them”; “God doesn’t want you to have your pie-in-the-sky, by and by, when you die. He wants you to have it now with a cherry on top!”; and “If it’s that difficult for a rich man to get into heaven, think how terrible it must be for a poor man to get in. He doesn’t even have a bribe for the gatekeeper!”
– Reverend Ike
I can honestly say I’ve never sacrificed myself and have no desire to do so but I do like people.
I think you’re a misanthrope who makes excuses for your enmity.
Ayn Rand AND Reverend Ike – Remember when television had variety shows?
The Ayn Rand show with this week’s guest Reverend Ike
Let’s give it up for the reverend.
And Ayn Rand is going to do her dance, the perpetual nonsense of nomenclature.
– Truman Butterfield
Are you at all capable of formulating thoughts of your own without the crutch of Ayn Rand? Do you not see that your demonstrations of rationality slide out from under you if you are not justifying yourself by denigrating others?
Rational self interest does not preclude individual acts of generosity, kindness, thoughtfulness and contributions to community.
Rational self interest easily devolves into an insular selfishness void of demonstrable awareness of others. Somewhat reminiscent of the initial stages of autonomy in early childhood development. A significant process of individuation necessary in forming a child’s emerging identity. Developmentally it is a time of self centered focus. Eventually, children become aware of their own needs for relationships and the discovery process necessary for including the wants and needs of others as part of their own self interests.
It would seem that the rational objectivist’s development has been thwarted and stands irrationally fixated on me, me, me just like that of a two-year old toddler.
From this immature. point of view, any acts including others quite often result in tantrums. These are demands of self interest dictating what others must do to fulfill these desires regardless of the impact on others. Such was the case when Ayn engaged in a sexual affair with her favorite acolyte, Nathaniel Brandon disregarding both of their marital commitments and the emotional duress to each of their partners. Their rational self interest nothing more than a euphemistic cloak for nothing more than garden variety selfishness.
What a disgusting thing to say. I don’t post much, but the things I see you and a few others post is juvenile.
You offer nothing to the discussion, other than profanity laced posts. Weren’t you even bragging about doing crack cocaine on a prior post?
Really? Where are the moderators?
“Ultimately, altruism demands that we sacrifice reason and facts, that we sacrifice our minds, for the sake of others.”
So T, another swing and a miss. But then you always miss. Looks like your mind was sacrificed long ago. If I thought about Ayny Rand and her gibberish I’d never have the time to knock back a few Kilties.
Hey man, I need to run out to the store today and pick up a six pack or two of Kilt Lifter. Because when someone mentions “altruism” the discerning Objectivist, or non “Objectionist,” must have the right brew to party with.
Kilties for all, and to all a good night.
Beer is better than THX, that’s for sure. And I’m sure it tastes better. So would butt sweat, though.
No one wants to talk about this either. God clearly prohibits communicating with the dead. No doubt Mary was a special woman who deserves honor as the Mother of Jesus, but those who are deceived and disobedient enough to worship and burn incense to a dead person are on the path to greater disobedience and deeper delusion which is what the transgender cult is.
God help us.
I cannot believe the callous selfishness of your comment.
In the USA today, children were slaughtered by an ideological monster and your response is to obsess over a long dead 16th century anti-papist “who’s the real witch?” squabble. Are you living in 2025? Are you living on this planet?
Are you aware that these children were murdered for an ideology championed by the U.S. Democrat Party and the entire establishment of the Western world? Are you aware that all over Africa, the middle East and elsewhere, Christians are being mass murdered in a literal genocide by islam? Are you aware that British girls have been systematically gang raped as sex slaves by muslims for 25 years and their govt turned a blind eye because “racism” and “religious and cultural tolerance”?
Western “trans” children are being mutilated, rendered psychotic then ideologically compelled to murder their fellow citizens while a rabid islam of 1.2 billion people is carrying out a death jihad against Christians and the West and boasting and posting about it on the internet. All of this and so much more horror is happening in front of your face and you obsess over some ancient absurd microscopic “theological” nonsense.
Do you care? No, you don’t. You ignore reality and obsess to avoid your own culpability in your and our collective demise. You’re not losing a battle. You’re euthanizing your own religion. And suiciding Western civilization with your unspeakable folly.
non sequitu much?
No clue about this 16th Cent idol you mention. And the othe is all mindless rant.
The lion’s bi at the bottom ofthis urde falls plainly on the mama and her twisted clergy she ollows. Had any of them held to truth the SON would not have been allowed to go down this twisted path that dest oyed him and his victims.
God has said :let us make Man in our own image, and so He made man. Male and female made he them. And He left not a speck of cofusion on the subject. But then that old Liar spoke up and posed the question: did God say…..?
Yes, He most definoitely DID and in Him there is not even a shadow of changing.
He still makes man today, male and female. And nothing else. Once He has made someone of one type there is no changing it.
Where in the Bible does GOD forbade communicating with the dead – Familiar spirits demonic spirits – they were never alive, never born of woman…..not the same thing…
What about all these sightings of Mother Mary? (I am not Catholic, so I say Mother Mary)
Look up the sightings of Mary, mother of Jesus, over a cathedral in Egypt 1968 and see those pictures.
Lord Jesus Christ came to me in my sleep, the sleep between REM. It was a message for me and I was not desperate or praying at the time and in fact in the best place of my entire life at that time.
I pray to GOD in the Name of HIS SON JESUS – and Jesus was born of woman and died and we pray to HIM.
Just watch out for those familiar spirits, those demonic beings never born of woman!
I of II – .BTW……those appearances of Jesus and Mary and the angles in the Old and New Testament are what I coined the term Heaven’s Holograms – I don’t know the mechanics of how THEY do it, but I do know that thought is faster and more permeable in subsequent dimensions than the speed of light.
Regarding your statement: “God clearly prohibits communicating with the dead. ”
Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
I have dreams of my human dead friends and family-they really come to me. I don’t will it, it happens and I am trying to train myself to be mentally ready and to ask the right questions. That’s a confirmation that life is eternal. These dreams are blessings for GOD ALMIGHTY – I naturally assume everyone has these dreams.
I had an “out of body” dream in January, 1989 that the artist Salvador Dali’ appeared above me hovering horizontally in an artist smock and beret and his left hand held an artist’s pallet with three paint brushes with the tips pointed to me and his right hand, palm up pointing to me and said: “You take” Dali’ wanted me to take his palette and brushes. I said: “I can’t. You’re the maestro” To which Dali’ replied sternly: “Si, you take. You take.
The next morning at my local coffee shop where I stopped in for my morning jo’ just about every morning. I sat at the counter, someone left that day’s LA Times on the stool next to me.
I picked it up, opened to the second page and the article: “Salvador Dali’ Died” Dali’ died the night of the dream. He was on his way out and gave me his mantle-as some would say.
II of II – 1974, Ft. Sill, OK – I was taking a short cut from the PX to the barracks past a cemetery that was from the Calvary-Indian wars era. When I turned as saw a white fog silhouette that looked like a platoon of 5 men. One of them said: “Let’s get him”. And I took off running. I wasn’t waiting to find out if these were dudes pranking me or ghosts. I ran over 100 yards, stopped and turned and they kept the same distance as when I first saw them. And then one or more laughed. I ran over another 100 yards and saw a light out of the darkness of this prehistoric forest on a moonless night in February, 1974. It was a street light on a highway into the base. I was relieved and could walk. There was a lighted billboard that read: “JESUS LOVES YOU” .
So again with demonic spirits and wizards, witches and whatever they title themselves: Leviticus 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Ghosts are not demonic spirits, because they were born of woman. However, some “familiar spirits” can be demons, those who rebelled with lucifer-satan – and frankly, I do not know how to tell a familiar spirt from a ghost. And I don’t go looking for either – but hopefully my life experiences have readied me for any further such encounters! Shalom .
It’s like in the Stalin years. Everyone knows everything is a lie, but keep shutting eyes and ears and repeating the slogans hard like trained parrots for fear the mob will eat them alive.
Every church denomination has problems. First there is political and theological leftism, we have prosperity gospel “Preacher’s in Sneakers,” there are rampant sex and money scandals, there are Charismaticswho claim to be big “A” Apostles, and have new revelations from God. “Behold, the days come, says the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a famine of thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord” Amos 8:11 Charismatic
She encouraged the castration and mutilation of her son and endangered the lives of other children. Tell us again that happy horseshit that “gender affirming care” is “life giving”.
Apparently it was not his mother who encouraged him it was his very progressive leftist father.
I read that as well.
SO WHAT? Mama had custody, as much as I’ve seen, and Mama did not ave to “go alng to get along”. Besides, it appears quite clealy that Mama was all in on the whole business. And the “priests” at the sicko excuse of a “church”they attended.
It is the highest honor among democrats to sacrifice their children to Satan. Whether it’s abortion, transmogrification, LGBTQ+, climate cult worship or experimental clot shots they just can’t wait to throw their kids into the cattle cars headed for lefty camp. This what Obama meant when he encouraged the youth to become left wing activists rather doing something constructive with their lives.
molochism – satanic molochism in the 21st century
Of course Mrs. Westman lawyered up. Only white folks are prosecuted for the new crime of “bad parenting” .
Jennifer and James Crumbley about that.
When Governor Frey says “our trans community,” he is lumping two different groups together: the groomers and the groomed.
“Anybody who is using this … as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity.”
It is absolutely correct to villainize anyone who is planting the idea in the heads of other people’s 4 year-olds that they might be “born in the wrong body,” as is going in public schools across the whole country, thanks to the fact that the whole public school enterprise has long been dominated and run by Democrats.
Any adult trying to sexualize children in the public schools at all, never mind trying to indoctrinate them into deviant sexualities, should be sent to jail for a very long time.
The kids who are victimized by this grooming pose a complicated problem, as they often end up “transitioning” from victims to victimizers. They need compassion, but they can’t be allowed to become sex groomers of the next generation of children, or mass murderers.
Just stop, the shooter wasn’t a deranged woman. Why do intelligent people give in to this madness.
The Association of U.S. Catholic Priests, which signed the “Trans Day of Visibility” statement along with two bishops and a Jesuit, is a heretical group of disaffected priests, former priests, and laypeople that does not represent the views of the majority of Catholic priests in this country.
Why does Intel contractor Dad get an automatic pass. Where is the nudge to wait for all the facts. It seems the mother is a big target and the world ignores the Dad, when he lived close to the son and was in a better position to notice the crazy coming into and out of his own son? Just wait for the whole story, which we don’t have. I don’t blame her for hiding out. I would too. I think encouraging gender dysphoria is a sin and a crime, but where was Dad when the name change came. It seems he was at least supportive of his son.
A mentally ill mother, with a mentally ill son. Until we start putting some bucks to help mental illness in the country, more deaths will occur.
It’s too early to declare any of these family members to be mentally ill; delusional? Yes. Brainwashed by leftist doctrine as a cult member. These are loyal disciples who believe they’re right to be “compassionate”, and take drastic steps. Not unlike Jihadis. Except “Robert” woke up to this folly and flipped out. We do need more mental illness treatment facilities, but we need to squash this Leftist madness first if we’re going to make any progress.
“Robert Westman, the deranged trans woman” – there was not one thing about this lunatic that was woman or female.
OK to say trans meaning the chemical puberty blocking castration and any surgical mutilation puts a male or female in a “trans” category.
Also, I do not see reports on the main sleaze lying fake news propaganda censoring media or postings on the internet of violence against trans people.
To the trans person, their skewed psychology has everything blown out of proportion, They know they are freakafied by their appearance and hallucinate people are looking at them askance or muttering threats to them ….People don’t give a tinker’s twiddly wink about if you’re dressed like you’re a clown in a circus.
I wondered about where is the dad in all this and only the comments to this article by astute viewers of life have indicated that the dad is alive and is an Intel contractor.
“Robert Westman, the deranged trans woman ….
Seriously, Thom. Can you drop the Leftwing gender nonsense?
Westman was a psychotic, gender dysphoric murderer. There was not once cell in his body that was female.
I believe a lot of the time the mother secretly hates men, hates that she got pregnant, and desperately wanted a girl once she was pregnant. So she turns her son into a girl. SICK,SICK, SICK.
MOMS DEMAND ACTION for GUN SENSE in AMERICA just Fools on a Fools Mission they should be demanding that Dangerous Maniacs be kept off the Streets Out of the School and Away from their Kids and screw the UN Human Rights idiots and the ACLU as well
When the word of God is compromised by denominational institutions, the focus reverts to relative morality. The church has muffled the gospel by compromising with the world. There is a very distinct warning that states: woe to those who call evil good and good evil. The term woe means impending judgment on the practitioners of evil.
Ok I don’t like the woman. Maybe she was a bad mother, But a 23 year old is an adult and makes his own decisions. He made the decions to murder people. His mom is not a criminal, She killed no one. She is not a murderer. I won’t condemn her – period.
Newsflash!
The Catholic Church is not The Church!! Why be surprised when a mom who just chanted to an idol while burning inscense subscribes to trans stupidity? Really? Get real! The real church is the early church founded in the Book of Acts. The original doctrine of the apostles founded upon the words of Jesus is THE CHURCH! All other denominations are off shoots from the original, except the Catholic Church, which is just one big fat false doctrine. The other denominations are almost as bad as well because they run in human reasoning and deny the power of the Holy Spirit. Why? Because human kind wants it their way,kinda like Burger King! There is only ONE WAY the Acts 2:38 Plan of Salvation, the original and ONLY plan whereby we must be saved.
About 2 years ago a close friend told us that her son was transitioning. When I asked why she was supporting it, given the statistics about trans suicides, her reply was, “I just want him to be happy.” Well, he went the full Monty — name change, castration, boob implants, and last month, marriage. I just pray that he (yes, he still has the Y chromosome) is happy, and that if something happens in the future, divorce for example, that he can handle it without killing himself. I guess that time will tell.
