The families of the murdered and injured in the heinous Minneapolis Catholic church shooting can rest well knowing that NBC News is going the extra distance to avoid “misgendering” the deceased murderer.

Investigators say that 23-year-old Robin Westman fired at children and others praying inside Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, killing two and injuring 17. Westman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the church.

‘Children were slaughtered. … But NBC made sure the pronouns were right.’

Investigators say that Westman identified as a transgender person, and the messages he left behind have provided some insight into his possible motivation for the shooting. Westman also expressed regret for becoming transgender in one post.

NBC issued the correction after using male pronouns when referring to Westman.

“A previous version of this article used the wrong pronoun for the shooter. She used female pronouns,” it read.

Many on social media excoriated NBC News for taking care to observe the preferred pronouns of a heinous murderer of children.

“Children were slaughtered. Catholics targeted. But NBC made sure the pronouns were right,” responded communications strategist Erica Knight.

“Ahh, the sickness of all these people is so deep in the media that at some point after these kids get murdered maybe we the majority will turn them off and watch the sponsors pull their hair out. We need another brand of news outlet over the air waves,” read one response.

“In an evil premeditated way, this beast plotted and tracked elementary school age kids, trapped them in a room and shot them with automatic weapons. NBC is worried about his pronouns?…How about a pronoun for NBC… A**holes!…Can’t hate them enough!” read another response.

“The lame stream media, corrects pronouns for a savage killer of innocent children who is now dead,” said one detractor.

“I don’t think the main stream media in this country is even trying to be unbiased anymore. It’s all out in the open,” replied writer Clara Winslow.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that investigators are trying to determine whether transitioning drugs possibly taken by the shooter might have been at least partly to blame for the attack.

On Saturday, August 30, the Florida State Seminoles, who finished last season with a dismal 2-10 record, pulled off a shocking victory against No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide. The underdogs dominated with a revamped offense led by new quarterback Tommy Castellanos, who accounted for 230 total yards and a touchdown, and a defense that stifled Alabama’s running game, limiting the team to 74 rushing yards.

The Seminoles’ triumph sent shock waves through college football, marking a stunning start to the season.

Furious Alabama fans are venting over head coach Kalen DeBoer’s performance, with some speculating about raising nearly $70 million to cover the buyout of his $87 million contract. Amid this unrest, rumors have swirled about legendary former coach Nick Saban returning to the sidelines or former NFL coach Jon Gruden being considered as a replacement.

“Kalen DeBoer may need to go. Nick Saban probably would be an upgrade. … Josh Gruden would be a significant upgrade and an incredible story,” Jason Whitlock agrees.

But Alabama’s woes go way deeper than a “coaching problem,” he says.

The Crimson Tide’s biggest issue is something mainstream media would never dare address: Its obsession with LGBTQ+ activism overshadows winning football games.

“The BLM LGBTQIA+ silent P alphabet mafia is ruining sports,” Jason says.

Wide receiver Ryan Williams, the Tide’s best player, he says, is an “alphabet soldier” who’s driving the culture at Alabama.

Not only does Williams regularly don painted fingernails, but he entered the Seminoles’ Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday carrying a stuffed T. rex, which is some kind of “anxiety doll.”

“And you’re wondering why the team is soft,” Jason scoffs.

“When your sexual identity and your desire to show off your feminine side, your womanly side, your alternative lifestyle side becomes the agenda, you got a problem that will affect the entire locker room,” he says.

“The head coach has to walk around on eggshells. He can’t talk the way that he used to talk because the best player might be offended.”

“Feminine energy doesn’t win football games. … Toxic masculinity and energy — that’s what wins football games,” he says.

As long as Alabama allows its “soft” culture to fester, its football will be subpar, he argues.

A federal judge appointed by President Biden said conflicting stories have given her no choice but to block a round of deportation orders.

A lawsuit was filed after 1 a.m. on Sunday by the legal activist group National Immigration Law Center. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said she received notice of the complaint at 2 a.m. and subsequently called the U.S. attorney’s office and left a voice message at 3:43 a.m.

The judge left word with federal authorities asking for a hearing before she issued an emergency motion that halted the deportation of a group of 76 illegal immigrants. She even moved the hearing up by three hours when she discovered the deportations were already under way.

‘I have conflicting narratives from both sides here.’

The issue, however, was that these illegal immigrants were minors who were set to be reunified with their families in Guatemala.

“The Court ORDERS that [Homeland Security] cease any ongoing efforts to transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States,” Sooknanan wrote, per ABC News.

Sooknanan also called it “surprising” that the government was “attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend.”

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign claimed the illegal minors are actually undergoing a repatriation process and that “all of these children have parents or guardians in Guatemala who have requested their return,” according to Fox News.

However, the judge claimed that she has been receiving conflicting stories that have forced her hand.

RELATED: Tom Homan says Trump administration has located 23,000 of the 300,000 migrant children lost under Biden administration

“I have conflicting narratives from both sides here on whether what is happening here is an attempt to reunite these children with their parents or just return these children to Guatemala where they face harm,” the judge stated.

Sooknanan said that in the court filings, the children themselves claimed that they were “afraid of going back to Guatemala” over a fear of abuse or neglect from their family members. One child also allegedly said their parents received a “strange phone call” about being deported back to Guatemala along with other minors.

Ensign’s explanation was far more simple, claiming that the government of Guatemala had requested the return of the children, all of whom have “parents or guardians in Guatemala who are requesting” that they be brought back.

“[The] United States government is trying to facilitate the return of these children to their parents or guardians from whom they have been separated,” Ensign said.

In a post on X, Dept. of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called the judge’s order “disgusting and immoral,” while oppositely, the NILC’s Efrén Olivares called it a “dark and dangerous moment when our government chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds.”

After some of the children had already boarded planes or had arrived to the planes on buses in Harlingen and El Paso, Texas — ready for deportation — they are now in custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

In total, the judge’s order blocks the deportation of about 700 Guatemalan minors.

Homeland Security did not respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg, an Obama-appointed federal judge who has been working ardently to block the MAGA agenda, ordered the release last week of a woman accused of repeatedly threatening President Donald Trump’s life.

Nathalie Rose Jones of Lafayette, Indiana, was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 16 and charged with threatening to take the life of, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon the president and with transmitting threats across state lines.

‘Any threat to the president’s life should be taken incredibly seriously.’

“Threatening the life of the president is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake — justice will be served,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a statement.

According to the Justice Department, members of the U.S. Secret Service observed a series of increasingly concerning posts made on Instagram and Facebook between Aug. 2 and Aug. 15 by a user with the handle “nath.jones.”

The user started off parroting Democrat and liberal media talking points, allegedly labeling the president a terrorist and referring to his administration as a dictatorship.

However, on Aug. 6, “Nath.Jones” allegedly wrote in a Facebook post directed at the FBI, “I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present.”

The same user followed up the apparent death threat with an Aug. 14 post directed to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in which she allegedly wrote, “Please arrange the arrest and removal ceremony of POTUS Trump as a terrorist on the American People from 10-2pm at the White House on Saturday, August 16th, 2025.”

The U.S. Secret Service met with Jones on Aug. 15 and conducted a voluntary interview during which she allegedly called Trump a “terrorist” and a “Nazi” and allegedly said that if afforded the opportunity, she would kill the president.

The DOJ noted further that Jones said she “would take the president’s life and would kill him at ‘the compound’ if she had to, that she had a ‘bladed object,’ which she said was the weapon she would use to ‘carry out her mission of killing’ the president, and that she wanted to ‘avenge all the lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic,’ which she attributed to President Trump’s administration and its position on vaccinations.”

The day after her interview, Jones took part in a protest outside the White House, during which she told NewsNation, “This regime has to go, the whole administration.”

Jones added, “We will not exist in this authoritarian regime. We will not accept fascism.”

The U.S. Secret Service interviewed Jones a second time after the protest. Jones allegedly admitted to the USSS that she threatened Trump’s life during their previous interview.

Jones appears to be among the many American liberals who think that violence against their political opponents, Trump in particular, is justified.

A survey conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab revealed in April that 55% of respondents who identified as left of center said that assassinating President Trump would be at least somewhat justified.

A poll conducted by Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research immediately following the alleged September 2024 attempt on Trump’s life at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, found that 28% of Democrats said it would have been better for the president to have been slaughtered on the green.

Jones was arrested after her second interview with the USSS and apparently confirmed that she had made the threatening statements as “Nath Jones” on social media.

“Special Agents from New York and Washington, D.C., working in close coordination with prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, acted swiftly and decisively to neutralize this alleged threat before it could escalate,” said Matt McCool, special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Washington Field Office.

Boasberg, whom Attorney General Pam Bondi slapped in July with a misconduct complaint “for making improper public comments about President Trump and his administration,” ordered Jones’ release on Wednesday.

Boasberg remanded Jones to the custody of her defense investigator, Tyrees Smith, and told her to “drive directly to New York City, taking only reasonable rests along the way and arriving in New York City to meet with her psychiatrist prior to 5 p.m. on August 27, 2025.”

When pressed for comment about Jones’ release, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Blaze News, “Any threat to the president’s life should be taken incredibly seriously — now more than ever considering President Trump has survived not one, but two, attempts on his life.”

“This should be common sense for anyone dealing with deranged individuals who make these types of threats,” added Jackson.

The Obama judge’s decision to cut Jones loose comes just weeks after a federal appeals court threw out Boasberg’s bid to pursue criminal contempt for Trump administration officials who deported illegal aliens to El Salvador.

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” noted earlier this year that Boasberg was a member of the “FISA court that rubber-stamped the illegal spy warrants against Trump during the Russiagate hoax. Boasberg was one of those judges signing off on it. ‘You go ahead and spy on Trump.'”

Boasberg also kept Kevin Clinesmith — the former FBI attorney who, according to the DOJ, fabricated evidence to support a surveillance application to the same FISA court, lying about Carter Page’s past cooperation with the CIA — out of jail.

The Obama judge gave Clinesmith only 12 months of probation and 400 hours of community service.

A Democrat commissioner in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, was one of nearly two dozen suspects arrested in connection with a “massive drug investigation” that spanned several years — and several states.

On Thursday, members of the Lehigh County Drug Task Force, with assistance from the Bethlehem Police Department and other agencies, arrested Commissioner Zach Cole-Borghi at Bethlehem City Hall, where he worked as an open records officer. Cole-Borghi was charged with possession of marijuana and possession with the intent to deliver a pound of marijuana. He paid $50,000 bond and was released.

‘A wide-ranging conspiracy.’

Cole-Borghi, a first-term commissioner who won the Democratic primary for District 3 unopposed earlier this year, was just one of 22 individuals arrested in connection with this case. Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan claimed the investigation into the alleged drug ring began three years ago and extended all the way to Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin.

“This is a wide-ranging, as I said, multi-jurisdictional investigation, which included people yesterday who were arrested in the City of Chicago and the State of Wisconsin,” Holihan said at a press conference on Friday, according to lehighvalleylive.com. “And there are warrants for people in multiple counties in Pennsylvania, as well as the state of New York, I believe the state of New Jersey, Philadelphia — so a wide-ranging conspiracy.”

Holihan also noted that law enforcement officers had seized a massive haul of evidence related to the case.

“To date, some of the items seized include well over $100,000 in cash, crypto accounts, more than 2,000 pounds of marijuana, large quantities of THC, liquid cocaine, and MDMA pills. Additionally, at least 25 firearms were seized yesterday, including semi-automatic rifles and ghost guns. As part of the operation, two clandestine labs were discovered manufacturing illegal THC products. Those labs were discovered and dismantled by the PA State Police Clandestine Laboratory Team,” he said.

Bethlehem Human Resources Director Michelle Cichocki confirmed on Friday that Cole-Borghi no longer works for the city.

The extent of Cole-Borghi’s alleged participation in drug trafficking is unclear, and during the press conference, Holihan declined questions about the commissioner’s alleged involvement, citing the ongoing grand jury investigation.

However, several of Cole-Borghi’s colleagues have weighed in. Bethlehem City Council member Bryan Callahan called Cole-Borghi’s arrest “distressing news,” while Council member Grace Crampsie Smith described it as “disheartening,” according to WFMZ.

Lehigh County Executive Phil Armstrong confirmed that Cole-Borghi has not resigned his seat on the board of commissioners. Lehighvalleynews.com further reported that without an order from a judge, Cole-Borghi’s name cannot be removed from the November ballot at this point since the deadlines to withdraw and for parties to name a replacement already passed.

Cole-Borghi’s Republican opponent, Jacqueline Rivera, issued a statement following his arrest: “As community leaders, we are entrusted with a responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and service. The people of Lehigh County deserve representatives they can trust — leaders who will put families, neighborhoods, and the well-being of our community first.”

Cole-Borghi’s name and picture remain on the county commissioners’ website, though as of Tuesday morning, he has no accompanying biographical information listed there. Instead, the website claims his “profile information” will be “coming soon.”

Executive Armstrong said, “The residents of Lehigh County should know that we are monitoring the situation closely, and at the first opportunity, we will speak with all relevant parties. We hope to have a more substantial statement after we have had the opportunity to gather the facts.”

Cole-Borghi did not respond to a request for comment from lehighvalleylive.com.

A Western Michigan player’s jersey is grabbing the attention of fans instead of his play after the college football kickoff last weekend.

A rivalry game between Michigan State University and Western Michigan University saw the Spartans win 23-6 at home, but one Broncos player stood out among the crowd in the losing effort.

‘This is still America right.’

Along with wearing the somewhat unique No. 0, it was not Mustafi Al-Garawi‘s two tackles that viewers took note of, but rather that the nameplate on his jersey was written in Arabic.

An East Tennessee State transfer, the senior defensive tackle submitted a request to Western Michigan in the summer asking if he could play his final season with Arabic writing on the back of his jersey.

According to Detroit News, Al-Garawi was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after his father was granted U.S. citizenship for rebelling against his own country (Iraq) during Saddam Hussein’s rule. Rashid Al-Garawi allegedly assisted U.S. forces in the Second Gulf War.

RELATED: Are MLB umpires getting worse? Fans say yes, but the stats might disagree

Western Michigan head coach Lance Taylor and school officials approved the Arabic writing, seemingly following an NCAA rule that allows players to “celebrate or memorialize people, events or other causes, subject to school and/or conference approval,” according to CBS Sports in 2020.

The messages can vary from player to player.

After a college football fan page with 150,000 followers posted an image of Al-Garawi’s jersey, it was met with mostly negative reactions from fans.

“That’s awful,” one Texan wrote on X.

“Why is that cool. This is America. Nobody can read it,” another user said.

“This is still America right,” another fan replied.

At least a half-dozen X users called for Al-Garawi’s deportation, while some other fans even called the writing “gay.”

While this may be the first time a player name has been written in Arabic in an NCAA football game, there have already been two players who have had their names written in Chinese.

First, Arizona State University’s He Peizhang, aka Jackson He, had his name written in Chinese in 2020. He came to the U.S. from Guangdong, China, at 17 years old, according to South China Morning Post.

In 2025, Charles Du of Notre Dame grabbed headlines and social media attention when he had his name written in Chinese during the Sugar Bowl on January 2.

As lawmakers return from their five-week recess, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is wasting no time to address the Epstein files.

Just as Republicans managed to drown out much of the Epstein drama, Massie is reigniting the fight for transparency surrounding the files.

‘Massie promptly pushed back on the move, calling it a “meaningless vote.”‘

Massie announced he will file a discharge petition as soon as the House is back in session on Monday, which would force a vote in the House to release the Epstein files, so long as he collects at least 218 signatures from his colleagues. If all 212 Democrats sign on, he will need signatures from at least six more Republican lawmakers.

“I pray Speaker Johnson will listen to the pleas of these victims for justice and quit trying to block a vote on our legislation to release the Epstein files,” Massie said in a post on X.

Massie’s bill, which is being co-led by Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California, requires all Epstein-related materials in the DOJ, FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Offices to be made publicly available within 30 days of the bill’s passage.

The legislation would also require Attorney General Pam Bondi to submit a report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees listing all the categories of the records that were released and withheld, a summary and legal justification of all the redactions made, and a list of government officials and “politically exposed persons” named in the materials “with no redactions permitted.”

With respect to redactions, the bill clarifies no information may be withheld for purposes of “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.”

The bill does allow for redactions for any content that violates the privacy of any victims involved; for child sexual abuse materials; if it jeopardizes an ongoing federal investigation or depicts death, abuse, or injury of a person; or if it is in the interest of national defense.

While Massie and Khanna continue their push for transparency, the House leadership also scheduled their own vote on a bill that would direct the House Oversight Committee to “continue its ongoing investigation” into the government’s “possible mismanagement” of the Epstein case.

Massie promptly pushed back on the move, calling it a “meaningless vote” that simply provides “political cover” for members who don’t support his bipartisan legislation. Massie and Khanna are also set to hold a joint press conference on Wednesday with 10 of Epstein’s victims to raise awareness and bring attention to their bill.

CHICAGO, Ill. — The crowd of protesters were packed tightly around the Haymarket Memorial to participate in a Labor Day march that shifted focus on the potential deployment of National Guardsmen to the city. President Donald Trump has said repeatedly he would like to have the same crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., to be done in the Windy City.

Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) joined the protesters to continue expressing his disapproval of the Trump administration’s public safety plans for Chicago, which also include surging federal law enforcement agents.

“Are you prepared to defend this land? This land that [was] built by slaves. The land that was built by indigenous people. The land that was built by workers. Are you prepared to defend this land?” Johnson asked the cheering crowd. “I need you all to stand firm, to stand strong, if this president decides to continue to break this Constitution.”

Johnson then led a “No troops in Chicago!” chant.

— (@)

The protesting crowd featured many Mexican flags and flags from other Latin American countries as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on Sunday extra immigration agents will be sent to the sanctuary city. While the crowd marched in neighborhoods close to the Loop, they did not march in the high-crime areas such as Humboldt Park or Englewood.

Johnson and other state Democrats’ ongoing resistance to a federal crackdown on the city’s crime could not have come at a worse time as over 50 people were shot during the Labor Day weekend. From Friday to Monday, at least 54 people shot, seven fatally, according to ABC 7 Chicago. Some of the incidents were mass shootings, which took place within 48 hours of each other. One of the mass shootings took place close to the headquarters for the Chicago Police Department.

Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez (D), a staunch Johnson critic, asked those who would say “hell no” to extra federal personnel in the city: “How much crime do you find acceptable, how many people are you willing to make victims for your politics? In my opinion, any tool that prevents one more Chicagoan from being shot, robbed, carjacked, forced into human trafficking, or killed by cartel-delivered drugs is absolutely worth it!”

Lopez further suggested the National Guard protect the tourist areas of the city so Chicago police “don’t have to babysit the Bean or Buckingham Fountain for eight hours a day. Our officers can return to their districts [and] answer the thousands of 911 calls logged but never answered.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York has long been a pillar of the Democrat establishment in Washington, D.C. After 50 years in public office, the 78-year-old made a consequential announcement with respect to his congressional career.

As of Monday night, Nadler will no longer be seeking re-election in 2026, leaving a vacant seat in the heart of Manhattan. Nadler said that although his decision to retire was difficult, the longtime lawmaker wants “to pass the torch to a new generation” of Democrat leadership.

‘I don’t know what the future beyond 2026 holds.’

“This decision has not been easy,” Nadler said in a statement. “But I know in my heart it is the right one and that it is the right time to pass the torch to a new generation.”

Nadler was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992 after serving in the New York State Assembly for 15 years. During his congressional tenure, he also served as chair of the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2023.

Notably, Nadler has not made clear what his next professional endeavor will be following his retirement.

“I don’t know what the future beyond 2026 holds, but I plan to stay fully engaged in the community that is my home and in the causes that I’ve championed throughout my life,” Nadler said.

“My plans for the next 16 months, however, are clear. I will continue to give everything I have to defend our democracy, protect our institutions, and fight for the values that as Americans and New Yorkers we share.”

In a recent interview, Nadler said the aftermath of former President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race was formative for the Democratic Party, noting that it “really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party.”

“I think I want to respect that,” Nadler said.
