Not that long ago, people who struggled to accept their biological gender were diagnosed with a mental health disorder called gender dysphoria. But radical tolerance pushed by the left has ushered us into an age where transgenderism is so embraced, and even popularized, that advocacy for it continues even as transgender-perpetrated violence increases.On February 10, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, a biological male who identified as a woman, allegedly carried out a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, killing eight people — including his mother, stepbrother, five students, and a teacher — before dying by suicide. The mass shooting is one of the deadliest in Canadian history.The mainstream media, however, has consistently portrayed Van Rootselaar as a woman with mental health issues, seemingly aligning with the transgender movement’s emphasis on gender-affirming language and self-identification.But BlazeTV host Rick Burgess argues that mental illness isn’t the full picture.“A[n alleged] mass killer that then takes their own life — that is a calling card of demonic activity,” he says.On this episode of “Strange Encounters,” Rick delves into the spiritual dimensions of the atrocity, arguing that what society calls “mental illness” in such cases may actually stem from demonic oppression fueled by cultural confusion over God’s design for gender. “On this podcast, we do not believe that all mental health is demonic. There’s no doubt that the human brain is a piece of our fallen bodies, like everything else, and it can be sick,” Rick says.“However, there’s also a clear indication that many times we label demonic activity as mental illness when it’s not,” he adds.Much of the violence we’re seeing from trans-identifying individuals, he says, falls into that category: demonic oppression repackaged as mental illness.The LGBTQ+ movement that insists gender is a broad spectrum instead of the male/female dichotomy created by God is creating an environment that is both “chaotic and confusing.”“And what lives in those two worlds?” Rick asks. “Demonic activity. No question.”“We’re just pretending something, and it’s costing people their lives — and I’m including the people who are struggling with this,” he adds. “They become dangerous to other people and dangerous to themselves.”To hear more of Rick’s spiritual analysis, watch the episode above.Want more from Rick Burgess?To enjoy more bold talk and big laughs, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

After years of giving East Coast Man a hard time, I have to admit — he came through with a tool I didn’t even know I needed. In this video we head back up the mountain to recover more Douglas fir windfall, and I put a proper logging choker chain to the test. If you’ve ever tried winching logs out of a ravine using a standard chain, you know how frustrating it can be. This sliding hook choker system solves that problem and makes pulling logs with a truck winch faster, safer, and far more efficient. We cover: • How a logging choker works • Why standard chains slip when winching logs • Using a forestry shovel in frozen ground • Recovering windfall firewood from steep terrain • Winch techniques for pulling logs safely • Field lessons from cutting firewood in the mountains If you cut your own firewood, use a truck winch, or work in steep terrain, this simple tool may completely change how you recover logs. Winter heat starts with smart systems. Thanks for watching.

FIRST AID KITS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES AT https://kentuckysustainableliving.com/ Most families focus on supplies, food storage, and gear — but preparedness actually starts with communication. In this video we talk about the simple family meeting every household should have before emergencies happen. Learn how to create a household plan, assign responsibilities, improve communication during disasters, and reduce panic when power outages, severe weather, or unexpected crises occur. A coordinated family handles emergencies far better than a stocked home with confusion. Preparedness is not just about survival gear — it’s about clarity, leadership, and stability. Topics covered: family emergency planning, preparedness mindset, communication plans, staying calm during disasters, power outage readiness, homestead preparedness, and household crisis organization. #preparedness #familypreparedness #preppermindset #emergencyplanning #homesteadinglife #selfreliance #gridown #poweroutageprep #shtfpreparedness #readynotscared #offgridliving #prepping101 #survivalplanning #kentuckysustainableliving
