A shouting match began on the House floor during a moment of silence for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called for a spoken prayer. “An unbelievable moment on the House floor. Rep. Lauren Boebert requests a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk,” Townhall wrote. “Democrats can be heard shouting ‘no!’ Then, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna shouts back ‘y’all caused this!'” it added.

Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) demanded a spoken prayer. “Silent prayers get silent results,” she said, leading to jeers from Democrats, with some shouting about a school shooting that also happened Wednesday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) stood up and started shouting expletives at the Democrats before Speaker Mike Johnson gaveled lawmakers down. Earlier Wednesday, she had posted on social media that she was “done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused.” “This is disgusting,” said a House Republican granted anonymity to react candidly to the clash. “EVERY D*** ONE OF YOU WHO CALLED US FASCISTS DID THIS. You were too busy doping up kids, cutting off their genitals, inciting racial violence by supporting orgs that exploit minorities, protecting criminals, and stirring hate. YOU ARE THE HATE you claim to fight. Your words caused this. Your hate caused this. Charlie. His family. Those kids. No one deserved this. Enough is enough,” Luna said. I am done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused. EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU WHO CALLED US FASCISTS DID THIS. You were too busy doping up kids, cutting off their genitals, inciting racial violence by supporting orgs that exploit minorities, protecting… — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) September 10, 2025 Axios shared comments from other lawmakers: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who worked as Kirk’s director of Hispanic engagement at Turning Point USA, then stood up and yelled at Democrats: “You caused this!” That prompted a raucous Democratic response, with Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.), a leader on the gun violence prevention task force, shouting, “Pass some gun laws!” The incident was a “reminder that we need to turn the temperature down in this country,” Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.) told Axios. “Political violence is scary for all of us, and … that type of backlash doesn’t help things,” she said. Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) told Axios the scene was “classless.” “We had a couple on our side that should have kept their mouths shut…there were many on the Democrat side that needed to show their discontent and rudeness,” Meuser said. One source of Democrats’ frustration was a belief that granting Boebert’s request for a prayer would have been a departure from standard House procedure. House Administration Committee ranking member Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) told Axios that saying a prayer on the House floor in response to a tragedy is something “we don’t even do for fallen members.”

Frank Watkinson is the internet’s “virtual granddad.” The septuagenarian began singing on YouTube in 2011. He has done several cover versions of mainstream songs by popular artists from all genres. He has his own elderly man singing style, so even his cover versions will make you think it is new music. One of his recent covers is How Long Will I Love You by Ellie Goulding. @franktwatkinson How long will i love you , #waterboys #acousticcoverss ♬ original sound – Frank Watkinson – Frank Watkinson The description on Frank’s YouTube channel is “Just performing songs my way, nothing too serious, we can’t all be polished professionals, but that shouldn’t be a reason not to sing.” That short sentiment says it all. Frank bought his first guitar at 17, and the elderly man still loves singing. He also writes songs and talked about his song, Miss You, during an interview with Why I Cried on Medium. He wrote that one during the pandemic lockdowns. Frank thinks it might have been a bit too sad, but everyone was sad during that period. Frank’s emotions don’t shut off. He states that when he covers a song, he tries to imagine the mood and tone of the writer. Sad songs make him sad, and that comes through in his version. He admits that he has never been good with happy songs because he “can’t pull cheerfulness off.” In real life, he is a cheerful man, but he can’t convey that in song. We’re pretty sure Frank will keep making music until he can’t. He has 1.11 million subscribers on YouTube. He has gradually been adding other social media sites. You can find him on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, where he is gaining followers. He may not appreciate his own talent, but this elderly man singing has captured our hearts. Please share.

A moon gate can be many things to many people. For most, the circular opening, built into a garden wall or freestanding, signifies endings and beginnings. As one passes through a moon gate, it closes out the past and opens a fresh start. It can act as a transitory point between the ordinary and the extraordinary. They have been a landscape feature in gardens since ancient times. When TikToker Summer Goddess began creating her moon gate in March, she opted for all-natural materials. The frame is a series of small branches woven together and shaped into an arch. @lakeontariosisters Started working on this gate in late March and I am over the moon about it #fy #fyp #diy #diygarden #diygate #gate #gardengate #garden #moonlight #moongate #luna #witchy #whimsy #magical ♬ Good Looking – Suki Waterhouse Although the entire construction took several months, the final smiles are worth it. The moon gate has become a focal point in the garden with incredible visual appeal. The structure has a place in all their backyard entertaining and family gatherings. They decorate for different occasions, using the natural beauty of its elements and adding embellishments and lighting to enhance the overall effect. At night, the moon gate takes on an ethereal quality. @lakeontariosisters We still have the best weeks of summer left but when I go back to work it feels like it’s over #whimsy #cottagecore #diygarden #witchy #romanticizeyourlife ♬ original sound – globallylyrikal The Summer Goddess lives just outside of Buffalo, New York, on Lake Ontario. The view from the property is amazing. The moon gate creates a captivating sight with sunlight or moonlight highlighting the feature. The landscaping includes vast numbers of colorful wildflowers. Like many people who enjoy nature, this family appears to be cat lovers. They employed a gray tabby as a Quality Assurance Inspector during the construction phase of the special arch. Now that construction is complete, the fluffy tuxedo cat is content to be a table decoration. Images from TikTok here and here. The moon gate can serve as a gateway to transformation, beauty, and peace as it merges function and art. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
