The half-staff flags will honor the two children who were killed and the additional 17 people who were injured by a gunman who opened fire on students and teachers gathered for Wednesday morning Mass at the Minneapolis Catholic school. The shooter, named Robin Westman, according to the Associated Press, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the parking lot. Public flags will fly at half-staff until sunset on Sunday, Aug. 31. Trump said the order comes “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on August 27, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” Trump last posted on Truth Social earlier this morning, announcing he had been fully briefed on the shooting. “The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!” Trump said.

Things are heating up… President Trump just openly called for both George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be prosecuted for funding “violent protests.” Specifically, President Trump said they should be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Read President Trump’s full statement on Truth Social: George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to “BREATHE,” and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter. RICO is a federal law that can extend penalties for crimes committed as part of a criminal organization. If charged with racketeering under the RICO law, criminals can face fines up to $25,000 and up to 20 years in prison — per count. Axios has more: Context: The federal RICO law targets organized criminal activity and can enhance punishments for actions taken as part of an organized criminal enterprise. RICO was historically used to target mafia members but has more recently been used to prosecute a wide variety of criminal enterprises. Catch up quick: Conservatives have been using Soros as a bogeyman for years, and his name is often brought up in right-wing conspiracy theories due to his support of left-leaning causes. The Open Society Foundations supports a wide range of activism groups, including those dedicated to combating discrimination, civic participation and voter outreach. Zoom out: The president has launched multiple investigations into his perceived opponents since returning to office, including using mortgage fraud as a tool for criminal referrals. He’s also floated mobilizing the military against “radical left lunatics,” and promised to root out the “enemies from within” the government. Soros foundation Open Society responded by denying they have done anything wrong. Here’s their statement: The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests.

Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles in the United States and around the world. We stand for fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, including the rights to free speech and peaceful protest that are hallmarks of any vibrant democracy. Per Newsweek: A spokesperson for Open Society Foundations, founded by Soros, said Trump’s accusations are “outrageous and false.” “The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests. Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles at home and around the world,” the spokesperson told Newsweek. Yeah, right. Unfortunately for Open Society and the Soros family, I’m not sure anyone believes that. It’s been an open secret for quite awhile that George Soros, and by extension, his son, are shady individuals with their hands pulling strings everywhere… That includes (allegedly) financing ” peaceful protests” that often turn violent. Everyone has known that for a long time. So, the real question is: why is President Trump going after George and Alex Soros now? Clandestine on X has an interesting theory: Holy shit… Trump just called out George/Alex Soros for funding violent protests. The timing is not accidental.

The timing is not accidental. Soros is planning more protests/riots in major US cities for when Trump begins arrests on Deep State actors, hence why the NG are being deployed. NG presence is not just about stopping crime in our cities. Trump is deploying them to cities nationwide to have a preemptive standing deterrent on hand, because he knows what the enemy is planning. Trump is warning Soros and the Dems, that he knows they are planning another nationwide insurrection, similar to the BLM “summer of love”, which was also funded/orchestrated by Soros via Democrat NGOs. Trump knows their playbook, only this time, he is not going to let them get away with it. Things are about to get VERY interesting. What are your thoughts?

Major tensions are brewing between the United States and Venezuela. Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolas Maduro, has announced he has deployed 15,000 soldiers to the Venezuelan coast after the U.S. Navy sent warships to the Southern Caribbean. The warships deployed by the United States have over 4,000 sailors and marines and were sent to the region to stop drug cartels. Bloomberg reported more details on the military tension: Venezuela vowed to reinforce security along its border with Colombia as President Donald Trump’s administration sends US warships to the southern Caribbean. President Nicolas Maduro used his weekly television show to confirm he ordered the deployment of 15,000 “well armed and trained” men and women to the states of Zulia and Tachira. He also singled out Trump’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warning the US move risked becoming a debacle. “Unfortunately this gentleman, with his madness and extremism, could lead President Donald Trump to the worst possible scenario in Latin America and the Caribbean,” Maduro said Monday evening. “We will emerge victorious from this situation.” The Venezuelan forces will be joined by an unspecified number of boats, aircraft and drones, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said earlier at a news conference. At least three US warships, carrying more than 4,000 sailors and Marines, are set to approach the region to counter drug cartels. Trump has rattled Latin American leaders by reportedly ordering the Defense Department to prepare for potential military operations.

In a video on social media, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino announced a “significant” drone deployment as well as naval patrols along its Caribbean coast, including “larger vessels further north in our territorial waters.” The move comes amid escalating tensions with Washington, which sent three guided-missile destoyers and 4,000 Marines towards Venezuela last week to curb drug trafficking. On Tuesday, a U.S. source told AFP that President Donald Trump was dispatching two more ships to the Caribbean to crack down on drug cartels. A guided missile cruiser, the USS Erie, and a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, the USS Newport News, are due in the region next week, the source familiar with the move told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The school shooter who took the lives of two young children and injured many others today at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis has just been identified as Robin Westman. Reportedly, he was a mentally-ill transgender male in his early 20s. A series of social media posts made before he carried out the evil attack on children reveal that his gun magazines were scrawled with things like “Kill Donald Trump” and “For the Children.” See for yourself: BREAKING: The Minnesota Catholic church shooter has been revealed as Robin Westman.

After carrying out the horrific attack on the Catholic school, Robin Westman took his own life. Per NBC News: Police believe the suspect was a lone shooter in his 20s who died of a self-inflicted gunshot in the parking lot. NBC News also says that he has a “limited criminal history”: The suspected gunman in today’s shooting has been identified as Robin Westman, multiple senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. Police have said publicly that the suspect is in their early 20s with a limited criminal history. NBC News has confirmed with those law enforcement officials that the suspect left behind multiple videos posted online with writings that reference suicide, “extremely violent thoughts and ideas,” an apology to their family, and a hand-written sketch of the interior layout of a church. It’s unclear whether that church was the one at Annunciation Catholic School.

Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police are investigating whether a sick 20-minute YouTube video shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman. In the video, a hand slowly turns the pages of a red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears to be schematic gun diagrams. Each page is filled with inscrutable handwritten scrawl, an occasional plume of smoke is seen from the bottom of the screen as the person turning the pages coughs and occasionally maniacally giggles. At this time, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the shooting. 17 other victims, including 14 children, were also injured. Two are still in critical condition at the hospital. Please pray for all of these poor victims and their families.

NBC Washington reported more on the restoration process: Members of the National Guard deployed to D.C. will pick up trash and work on dozens of “beautification and restoration” projects, the military task force overseeing all troops in the District said Monday. The D.C. National Guard posted a video on social media showed troops cleaning up an area around a trail. They were shown hauling several garbage bags. “Today here, we are right outside the waterfront. Had everyone with gloves and trash bags and all the materials they needed, and instructions to head out and pick up the trash,” a member says. “It feels good to be out here cleaning streets, making D.C. beautiful again. I feel like D.C. really needed this, and I feel like it’s only going to get better and better from here,” said a member who said he’s a Southeast D.C. native.

Bhatia said her store was robbed so many times they had to sink piles of cash into renovations to increase security. “All we can do as a small business owner is protect yourself,” she said. The video player is currently playing an ad. It’s not just about the National Guard and federal agents on the streets, she said — Trump also took over the Metropolitan Police Department, for the better. “I think the local cops have been doing the job, surely, better,” Bhatia added. Washington has long been one of America’s most violent major cities — with a murder rate that outstrips Chicago and is nearly seven times higher than New York City. Violence has been trending down so far this year, but certain categories of crime that affect everyday Washingtonians have skyrocketed since the pre-pandemic era.

Tsk tsk tsk. They just CAN’T leave well enough alone, can they? Fine. They want a fight, they’ll get one. Should a mother protecting her child be thrown in jail for 90 days? Should a mother saying a slur be taken from her child and locked behind bars? Isn’t this not the United States of America? Or is this Communist Soviet Russia? Ask City Attorney Michael Spindler-Krage. He seems to want to choose the Communist route of throwing the mother, Shiloh Hendrix, in jail. With all the crimes occurring and all the violence and theft we’re seeing from illegal immigrants, this City Attorney’s office wants to go after this mother? Big mistake. Local ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) News reports: The Rochester City Attorney’s Office moves to leverage three counts of Disorderly Conduct against Shiloh Hendrix, a woman who used slurs against a Somali child with a disability in a since-viral video in April. The charges would amount to a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. The legal complaint is still subject to review and approval by a district court judge, but it concludes that “[Shiloh] wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive obscene, or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.” This matter involved a large amount of evidence and required careful consideration of potential charging options across multiple offices. Additionally, under Minnesota law, prosecutors are required to involve and consider the perspective of the crime victim. Given the sensitive and complicated nature of this case, along with the high level of public attention, completing the necessary reviews and conversations with the victim’s family took longer than usual. The City Attorney’s Office remains focused on…. On what, lying and subversion? Twisting facts? I love how they ignore the fact that the man who filmed Shiloh was Muhammad Hussein Omer, an illegal from Somalia. The real focus should be, why is an illegal alien, with a sex crime history, at the park? Who else is livid over this?! A lot of us are! X is blowing up in rage over this. Patriots are banding together to say they won’t stand for this!   I’m sure the City Attorney, Michael Spindler-Krage, would love to hear from freedom-loving patriots like you. Would you like to give him a call? Would you like to remind him we live in a free country? You would? Well then… This is also a great time to remind you that Shiloh has a GiveSendGo.  With the attacks on her starting up, let’s push her donations over $1 million! I’m so tired of the system attacking any lone wolf that stands their ground. We need to be like the fish in that teamwork meme, joining together against these predators. If we could do it for Cracker Barrel, surely we can do it for the mothers like Shiloh. Let’s push it over the top! Click her to donate to her. With all the criminals invading our country, robbing us, and killing our citizens, killing people on the roads, they decide to target this mother? They’ll regret it like the CEO of Cracker Barrel. This story and others like: Both these White people protected themselves. Both were first to be taken into police custody. pic.twitter.com/5xg93PyCQy — David Santa Carla (@TheOnlyDSC) August 25, 2025 Those stories remind me of… Sure, Shiloh wasn’t technically doing self-defense but as someone tweeted: “We are being actively persecuted and hunted down…” Do you want to live like that? I don’t think so. We need to have ZERO tolerance towards targeted attacks like these we see against Shiloh Hendrix. Because they’re using it to send a message. They see ALL of us citizens as Shiloh. We will send them our message instead.

Why did this ever stop happening? The Trump administration has announced it will reinstate “neighborhood checks” for immigrants applying to be U.S. citizens. The neighborhood checks will consist of immigration officers conducting interviews with neighbors and employers of immigrants who are applying for U.S. citizenship to ensure they have good moral standing. EXCLUSIVE — The Trump administration is reinstating a long-dormant practice of conducting “neighborhood checks” to vet immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship, expanding its efforts to aggressively scrutinize immigration applications, per a memo obtained by CBS News. pic.twitter.com/LvXj0Ho4gv — Camilo Montoya-Galvez (@camiloreports) August 26, 2025 CBS News reported more on the neighbor checks and what all that entails: The Trump administration is reinstating a long-dormant practice of conducting “neighborhood checks” to vet immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship, expanding its efforts to aggressively scrutinize immigration applications, according to a government memo obtained by CBS News. The neighborhood checks would involve on-the-ground investigations by officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that could include interviews with the neighbors and coworkers of citizenship applicants. The government investigations would be conducted to determine if applicants satisfy the requirements for American citizenship, which include showing good moral character, adhering to the U.S. Constitution and being “well-disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.” To qualify for American citizenship in the first place, applicants typically must have lived in the U.S. for three or five years as legal permanent residents. They must also not have any serious criminal records, and pass a civics and English test. The process is known as naturalization. Trump administration restores ‘neighborhood checks’ for citizenship applicants after 30-year hiatus https://t.co/PE3tE45ynX — POLITICO (@politico) August 26, 2025 The method of background checks has been on hiatus for over 30 years, according to Politico: While the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act requires these neighborhood checks, the U.S. government hasn’t enforced that since the 1990s. Instead, U.S. officials have relied on the FBI to conduct background checks. The change is the latest move by the Trump administration to add requirements or steps to the legal immigration process. In recent months, the administration has reduced the amount of time foreign nationals can stay in the United States on student visas and imposed new requirements on the diversity visa lottery requiring applicants to have valid passports at the time they submit their documentation. The administration has said its goal is to limit visa overstays and conduct proper scrutiny of migrants. Joseph Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said in a statement that “incorporating neighborhood investigations will help enhance these statutorily required investigations to ensure that we are meeting congressional intent.” “Americans should be comforted knowing that USCIS is taking seriously it’s responsibility to ensure aliens are being properly vetted and are of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well-disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States,” Edlow added.

As the WLT Report previously reported on Wednesday morning, a mass shooting occurred at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Authorities have stated that the gunman in the shooting is now dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Initial reports have revealed that there have been an estimated 17 people injured in the shooting, with the majority of them being children, and two deaths. Fox News reported the latest update on injuries in the shooting: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed on Wednesday that two children were killed and 17 others were injured, 14 of whom were children. “The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible,” O’Hara said while addressing reporters. Additionally, O’Hara said police believe the assailant took his own life. The suspect is believed to have shot through the church windows into the area where the children were praying. He was confirmed to have a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. There was a smoke bomb found at the scene.

At least three of them were covered in blood, he said. He also saw adults who appeared to be members of the faculty or staff. “Don’t go in there,” one of them said. Minneapolis police soon arrived at the scene, and officers darted inside the school, Garrity said.
