The second ambush sparked a brief gun battle. No injuries were reported. The first attack occurred around 2:15 a.m., when Air Force Security Forces personnel at the entrance gate of the Chapman Training Annex on the Southwest Side heard gunshots and the sound of bullets whistling past them, the San Antonio Police Department said. The guards called for back-up, and shortly before 5 a.m., a sedan stopped just east of the gate at Ray Ellison Boulevard and Medina Base Road. “For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force Security personnel,” said Sgt. Washington Moscoso, an SAPD spokesman. This time, the Air Force guards returned fire at the sedan with their service weapons, typically 9mm handguns. No one was injured in the exchange of gunfire, said JBSA spokeswoman Stefanie Antosh. It wasn’t known how many rounds were fired. Antosh said there was more than one shooter in the sedan but the exact number was unknown, as was the attackers’ motive. No details of the car’s make, model or color were released. AP confirmed: U.S. Air Force security guards exchanged gunfire with someone who opened fire at an entrance to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland early Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the base. No injuries were reported after the guards returned fire at a passing vehicle at a base entrance around 4:30 a.m., public affairs chief Stefanie Antosh told the San Antonio Express-News. It was not known how many rounds were fired, how many shooters there were, or what their motive was, Antosh said. “We don’t know what, if anything, started it,” Antosh said. “But it wasn’t an active threat to the installation, and there is no active threat to the installation.” Antosh did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press for more information. The entrance was closed for several hours after the shooting, but the base was not locked down, according to Antosh.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee has just launched an investigation into the troubling links between Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, and Communist China. Before becoming Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz worked as a high school teacher in China. After marrying his wife, the pair honeymooned in China. And, he visited China every single year from 1996-2003. Tim Walz, Dem VP Pick, and his wife HONEYEMOONED in China and oversaw a scholarship program funded by Beijing.

He says that these trips were provided in order to foster a peaceful relationship between the U.S. and China. However, it now appears that these trips might not have been so innocent and that Walz’s relationship with China goes much deeper than what he wants you to think. Congressman James Comer, chairman of the U.S. Oversight Committee, is leading an investigation into Walz’s position at a Chinese institution with deep devotion to the Communist party, alongside his travel sponsorships which are believed to have been aimed at planting anti-American sentiment in the minds of young people. Take a look: BREAKING Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz, Kamala Harris’s recently announced vice-presidential running mate, following reports detailing the Governor’s longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and… — Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) August 16, 2024 The New York Post has more information: Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s “cozy” relationship with Communist China is being probed by a Congressional committee, The Post has learned. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability are investigating Walz’s connection with government officials in the Asian adversary nation over nearly four decades. In a letter to the FBI Friday, James Comer (R-Ky), chair of the committee, requested “documents and communications” related to the Minnesota governor’s connections with Chinese Communist Party officials and groups. “The CCP has sought to destroy the United States through coordinated influence and infiltration campaigns that target every aspect of American life, including our own elected officials,” said Comer in a press statement. “Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China.” The probe comes on the heels of a letter sent to the Pentagon Tuesday by Rep Jim Banks (R-In) demanding to know if Walz, a member of the Army National Guard during many of his China trips, had complied with security protocols for members of the military traveling to an “adversary nation.” “Any individual traveling dozens of times to an adversary nation in a personal capacity while having access to classified information poses an obvious security risk,” the Indiana Republican said. Walz, 60, first traveled to China in the spring of 1989 to teach high school, arriving when the People’s Liberation Army massacred pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Newsweek added: House Republicans have announced an investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over what they say are his “connections” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After graduating from college in 1989, Walz, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, spent about a year teaching high school in China as part of Harvard University’s WorldTeach program. While in college, he took classes in East Asia studies. Five years after teaching in China, Walz and his wife, teacher Gwen Walz, spent their honeymoon in China while simultaneously leading two high school tour groups. They later set up a company called Educational Travel Adventures, which organized annual student trips to China until 2003. While there does not appear to be any personal connection between Walz and the CCP, Republican Representative James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, said Friday he was opening an investigation into Walz’s “longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials,” a committee press release said. “Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China,” Comer said in the release. He continued: “Mr. Walz has visited China dozens of times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders.” Comer went on: “FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with China goes.”

As we usher in a new year, let’s lean on the precious promises God gives us in His Word and take comfort in them.

Our sins and past failures can cause us to hang our heads in shame even after we’ve repented and received forgiveness. This shame can lead us into a wilderness of despair. But God says to remember not the former things and to recall his forgiveness.
