Demonic Forces, Transgender Terrorism and Other ‘Random Coincidences’

Posted on | September 16, 2025 | Comments Off on Demonic Forces, Transgender Terrorism and Other ‘Random Coincidences’

You are here for a reason. There is a meaning and purpose to your life, even though this may not be apparent to you. God has a plan, and somehow you exist as part of that plan, because guess what? The odds against any single sperm fertilizing an egg are so astronomical that your life is literally miraculous. Be grateful, therefore, and also be patient as God does in your life whatever it is that He intends for you.

Why did God put Juliette “Baldilocks” Ochieng in my life? During a dark and desperate time — longtime readers will recall the events of September 2009 — Ochieng came to my aid unsolicited, an answered prayer for which I will always be thankful. Now, over the weekend, information began to be discovered and shared online about an apparent network of far-left LGBTQIA+ activists who might be linked to Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who assassinated Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. Among all the items I saw, nothing struck me as more potentially significant than the Facebook post depicted at the top of this post: In April 2023, a group calling itself Armed Queers Salt Lake City (AQSLC) distributed flyers on the UVU campus, listing the group’s communist/anarchist “principles.”

Anyone who investigates can easily discover that AQSLC is an actual organization that has gotten favorable publicity from Utah Public Radio (“Here’s how Palestinian and queer organizers in Utah are working together,” October 8, 2024) and negative attention from Young America’s Foundation (“University of Utah Sponsors Lecture by ‘Armed Queers’ Socialist Militia,” September 6, 2023). AQSLC has leaders and members known by name, including Ermiya Fanaeian, who is (or at least was) a student at the University of Utah (see her January 2024 opinion column in the university’s student newspaper). My point is that this isn’t some kind of paranoid right-wing conspiracy theory, but a documented reality — there are armed and organized radical “queer” activists in Utah.

The FBI appears to be taking this seriously:

The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned.
Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.
The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.
Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.
Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.
Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.
Flyers promoting the event hosted in partnership with self-described “leftist student organization” Mecha de U of U obtained by Young America’s Foundation feature a young woman clad in two ammo belts and clutching an AK-47, with her finger on the trigger.

Most people would be inclined to scoff at the idea of a violent transgender terrorism network. But unlike me, most people weren’t in the courtroom for the arraignment of the “Zizian” cult members. Evil is real.

Meanwhile, recounting a recent series of heinous murders — including Iryna Zarutska — Juliette Ochieng writes:

These murders are the works of lower order demoniacs. The Catholic school shooter was overt about who controlled him, but the others are no less diabolical obviously, and I think that most murders — not man-slaughters, not accidental killings, but intentional first degree murders — are perpetrated by demoniacs and have been possibly since Cain.
Are they ramping up? It’s difficult to say because, with the internet and, specifically, social media, we know about them nearly instantly instead of months or years or decades later. . . .
In this century, the devil can send his spiritual minions — demons — to countless corporeal targets faster and in greater numbers than ever before. Wi-Fi gives them instantaneous transport to various targets.
These random shooters, these mass shooters of children, these assassins, these stabbers, and these rapists are inhabited by mere foot soldiers in the kingdom of the devil. . . .

Read the whole thing, which Wombat tipped me to, after I sent him a link to my latest column:

It was late October, less than two weeks before Election Day, and the vice president of the United States was in a televised town hall appearance from a studio 20 miles south of Philadelphia. CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Kamala Harris a direct question: “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” Harris answered: “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.” Then, as is her habit, Kamala wandered off into word-salad territory for a while before speaking of “a legitimate fear, based on Donald Trump’s words and actions, that he will not obey an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
How many times have Democrats called Trump and his supporters fascists? Might as well ask how many stars are in the sky, and the same can be said of Democrats labelling Trump a threat to “our democracy.” Campaigning in Iowa in June 2019, Joe Biden called Trump “literally an existential threat to America … a genuine threat to our core values.” That certainly wasn’t the only time Biden made such remarks. After an assassin’s bullet came within a fraction of an inch of killing Trump in July 2024, someone on Biden’s staff deleted many of his previous online reiterations of this theme, but not before they were screenshotted: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country,” was one of the deleted tweets, while another called Trump “a threat to our freedom … a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.” Not to mimic Joe’s habit of using the word “literally,” but it was literally the day before the assassination attempt against Trump that Biden told a crowd at a Michigan rally: “Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.”
Democrats “cannot take responsibility,” Pelosi now insists, if some of their more fervent supporters actually believe their rhetoric and act as if it were true
Say these things often enough — as Democrats have been doing for years — and sooner or later, someone might take you literally (sorry, Joe) and act to eliminate what you have repeatedly called a fascist threat to democracy. . . .

A little less than two weeks to go until it’s time to get up early and take part in the 1974 draft in Pete’s Dynasty Baseball League. Unless someone stepped up last night, it looks like the Cubs will be managed by the robot manager after Pete drafts for them. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, I have a fortnight (less Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, which will be spent going to & from Las Vegas for a VA appointment) to go over the free agents and compile a draft list so I can fill the holes in my roster.

Plot Twist: Did Lance Twiggs Just Become the World’s Most Famous Transgender?

Posted on | September 14, 2025 | Comments Off on Plot Twist: Did Lance Twiggs Just Become the World’s Most Famous Transgender?

The question of Tyler Robinson’s motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk took a very weird turn on Saturday:

A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday’s shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a ‘transgender partner’ who is co-operating with the investigation. . . .

Let’s get more from the New York Post:

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.
Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson’s roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, “We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.”
Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.

They were “in a relationship.” Lance was Tyler’s “live-in transgender boyfriend.” Do I have to explain how that works? Would it help if I posted some diagrams from illustrated books that are probably in your child’s public school library? No, that’s probably not necessary. If you don’t know what the word sodomy means, you’re not going to get any further education here. But I just felt the need to call attention to the polite use of “boyfriend” and “relationship” to describe what was happening between Tyler and Lance (who also went by “Luna,” according to Andy Ngo).

Anyway, Axios got no fewer than six sources talking to them who confirmed the “romantic relationship” between Tyler and his boy/“girl” friend Lance/“Luna.” Furthermore, they report on the motive:

Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson, suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, believed Kirk’s views on gender identity were “hateful” to people like Robinson’s transgender roommate.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) confirmed Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week” that Robinson lived with a romantic partner who was undergoing a gender transition.
Robinson’s roommate is cooperating with authorities, Cox said, but Robinson is not and has not confessed to Kirk’s killing. . . .
Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.

Anyway, there’s lots more out there but (a) my wife just returned from a trip to visit her family in Ohio, and (b) my boy Mac Jones is starting for the 49ers against the Saints today, so I’ll just let it go and y’all can pile up the info in the comments. Enjoy your Sunday.

After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, Democrats Double Down on ‘Fascist’

Posted on | September 13, 2025 | Comments Off on After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, Democrats Double Down on ‘Fascist’

“People don’t have any intention of saying something that’s going to lead to something dangerous, but we cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.”
Nancy Pelosi, September 13, 2025

Absolving herself and her fellow Democrats of responsibility for inciting murderous hatred, Nancy Pelosi insinuated Friday that somehow Donald Trump himself is actually to blame for the murder of Charlie Kirk, saying that change needs to come “from the top” of the government. No matter what happens, the explanation is always: Orange Man Bad!

Jonathan Turley recites some recent history:

For years, Pelosi and other Democrats have blamed President Donald Trump and Republicans for their “inciteful rhetoric.” In seeking Trump’s impeachment, Pelosi bellowed that the use of “words such as a cry ‘to fight like hell’” produces violence and added, “words matter. Truth matters. Accountability matters.” . . .
When a mob destroyed statues, Pelosi brushed aside the criminal conduct and said, “People will do what they do.”
Pelosi’s latest pivot comes as Democratic leaders whip supporters into a frenzy over the impending death of democracy and the need to “fight back.”
Despite objections from many of us that the rhetoric was pushing supporters to violence, Democrats have continued to call for resistance to tyranny or oligarchy. . . .
Many are using the very words that Pelosi previously said were not just impeachable but criminal incitement. Democrats ratcheted up claims of a “coup” and called for Democrats to “fight in the streets.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) has called for people to take to the streets to save democracy and posted a picture brandishing a baseball bat.
Jeffries has also called for Democrats to fight “in the streets.”
Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. . . .
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “I’m going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.” It follows other violent rhetoric from Democratic leaders.

Much of this Trump Derangement Syndrome behavior can be traced to the simple problem of Democrats actually believing their own campaign rhetoric. If you go back to 2016, what was Hillary Clinton’s campaign platform? What signature policy did she offer voters? In other words, what was she asking them to vote for? You can’t answer that, except with vague phrases about being on “the right side of history” and electing The First Woman President. As a policy vehicle, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hollow, with no real selling-point. Instead, Team Clinton offered an entirely negative message about Donald Trump being a Putin puppet and an Existential Threat to Our Democracy. Nine years later, Democrats still have no other message and, living inside that echo chamber of negativity, they’re trapped in a doom-loop, a labyrinth of their own construction.

This is their message: Charlie Kirk deserved to die, because all Trump supporters deserve to die. Democrats have nothing else to say, so they’ll just keep yelling “fascist,” knowing full well the likely consequences of their rhetoric. Democrats are now the Murder Party.

UPDATE: In case you’ve forgotten:
