Doubling Down

http://zelmanpartisans.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/trans.jpg

I’m sure by now everyone has heard about the horrific school shooting in Minneapolis. Another transgender named “Bucket of Chum” decided he too wanted to be famous.

In another video, Westman’s gun magazine can be seen with the names of Adam Lanza and other mass shooters.

In 2012, Adam Lanza opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, killing 26 people, including 20 children. His admiration for mass shooters, including Lanza and Sandy Hook, can also be noticed when he flips through his journal in which he has written, “I have deep fascination with one man in particular: Adam Lanza,” the New York Post reported.

Chum had legally purchased a shotgun, rifle and handgun in preparation for his attack on Annunciation Catholic church and school from which he graduated. He also carefully selected his outfit.

I look pretty, smart and modest’

“I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man … I really like my outfit,

Chum joins a long list.

List of transgender killers

It’s almost like putting the wrong hormones in a body cause strange reactions….

He was 17 when he decided he was born in the wrong body and wanted a name change, as he was a minor he couldn’t do that. But his Mom who had worked at Annunciation until her retirement could, and did. Yes, that’s the same Mom who is now refusing to talk to police and has lawyered up.

Mother of Trans Shooter Appears to Have Fled, Isn’t Cooperating with Police, and Retained a Criminal Defense Attorney

According to court documents obtained by Fox News, Mary Grace Westman ‘transitioned’ her son and changed his name from Robert to Robin when he was 17.

Via Fox News: According to court docs, at 17-years-old Robert Westman formally had his legal name changed to Robin because docs state the “minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect the identification.” The application for a name change of a minor was filed by the mother and a court granted the request in 2020.

After Westman’s mother transitioned him, he wrote in a journal that he was tired of being trans.

I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The New York Post.

He had messages written on several magazines, holsters and guns. Including:

Kill Donald Trump

Six Million wasn’t enough

Suck on this

For the children

Where is you G-d

The big one

Israel must fall

Psycho killer

Burn Israel

He really really hated Israel and Jews with his manifesto containing such slogans as “Free Falestine” and his desire to murder “filthy Zionist Jews”.

In his writings, Westman fantasises about killing the “powerless children” and confesses admiration for other mass shooters.

In other parts of the journal, Westman — whose records say changed his name from Robert to Robin in 2020 after applying when he was 17 — said he had been suicidal for several years, but wanted to take others out with him.

….

I don’t want to [do] it to spread a message. I do it to please myself. I do it because I am sick,” he wrote.

I don’t think I could just take myself out. I would need to do something with my final act,” the journal continued.

So he knew he was sick for a long time, I would have to think his Mom did as well…and instead of getting him help, she enabled him to exacerbate his mental illness. Kids he went to school with said he would praise hitler. No one was concerned about this? No one looked into it? Was this just his family norm?

Signs were there, this kid has problems. But see, according to the left, none of this is a problem. His mental illness was enabled by his Mom, nor did she seek help for him. He said he was sick in his writings. Praising hitler…well, you know those evil Jewzzz, totally understandable. Freedom of speech, ok. But if it’s a kid wouldn’t you want to ask a few questions? Find out if there is a troubling mindset going on there? And from his journal it’s clear he hated religion, not just Judaism. Although Judaism and Jews appear to have garnered the majority of his mentally unbalanced hatred.

Again, this is leftist, and not a problem for them. This is shown by the reaction of Jen Psaki aka Ginger Gobbels when she launched into her tirade against those expressing “Thoughts and prayers”.

Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.

Jen Psaki (@jrpsaki) August 27, 2025

Vice-President JD Vance had an excellent response to Ginger

We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.

Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying? https://t.co/KfTJ71Hcjf

JD Vance (@JDVance) August 28, 2025

Of course Ginger being Ginger and a demoncrat, she’s also a total hypocrite.

She typed this on June 14, 2017

Thoughts and prayers with @SteveScalise and officers shot. And thank you to members, hill staffers for your public service.

If you want to read some brutally honest responses to the disgusting Ginger Gobbels, help yourself, they are excellent but some have some naughty, even if deserved, words. Psaki, Minneapolis Mayor Eviscerated for MOCKING Prayers Following School Shooting

She wasn’t the only one, the mayor also criticized thoughts and prayers. Minneapolis Mayor Uses Catholic Church Shooting to Scold Christians for “Thoughts and Prayers”

So what does Ginger and the left think would help? Doubling down on stupid, their usual answer.

BREAKING: A tearful Jen Psaki TORCHES Republicans for offering only “thoughts and prayers” after the Catholic school shooting:

We have seen this play out over and over again. There is a shooting, then come the thoughts and prayers… It’s the guns. It’s always been the guns.” pic.twitter.com/SIxanaQ5SY

The disgusting fake news ABC during their coverage only showed comments from one old man at the scene, and his comment was he didn’t think anyone should have guns.

Sadly someone or several someones, there didn’t respect his opinion and they made a phone call and then a whole bunch of men showed up and they all had guns. But by then it was too late. The people attending mass were dead or wounded and the Bucket of Chum has taken his own life.

See there was no one there that could stop him. All they could do was hide, and this is so sad, but it deserves to be mentioned. 10-Year-Old Boy Says Friend Took a Bullet After Jumping on Top of Him, “Making Sure I was Safe” During Transgender’s Shooting Spree at Catholic Church

My friend, like, ran, kind of. Someone helped him, like, run out. He saw him. He was wearing all black, and he had a ski mask on. I was down, so I didn’t really look up. I mean, he shot through the stained glass windows, so they’re probably ruined. And then my friend Victor, he was, like, laying on top of me, like, making sure I was safe, and he got hit. So, that was really brave of him.

More courage and heart than your average MSDNC show host.

There was no one there protecting the children, not one person there was in a position to help them. No one. These parents care enough and somehow save the money to keep the kids out of the public school system and yet the institutions they pay all that money to is unwilling to protect them?

Is that true? They did nothing to protect the innocent children entrusted to their care? Not exactly.

Minn. Catholic school leaders’ 2023 plea for enhanced security to Walz and Lt. Gov. went ignored

Yep, CCP plant and Kamela’s running mate Gov. “Jazz Hands” didn’t have any interest.

Two years ago, before the heartbreaking school shooting in Minneapolis claimed the lives of two children, leaders of independent and Catholic schools in Minnesota wrote to Governor Tim Walz and the state’s lieutenant governor asking for help in securing non-public schools and keeping their students safe.

However, despite the urgency of their written warnings, their concerns were ignored.

On April 14, 2023, in a letter sent by Jason Adkins, the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC) and Tim Benz, the president of MINNDEPENDENT, representing Catholic and independent schools respectively, Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan were informed of the “urgent and critical need” for improved security in non-public schools.

The MCC highlighted recent attacks on educational institutions nationwide, including the Covenant Christian School shooting in Nashville. The letter also emphasized that nonpublic schools, particularly religious institutions, had been experiencing increased threats and thus needed support to ensure the safety of their students and staff.

….

We are asking for your assistance in making sure the Minnesota Legislature enacts your budget recommendation of $50 million to establish the Building and Cyber Security Grant Program and include all schools as eligible for funding, whether they are public, charters or nonpublic schools,” the letter read, emphasizing that “the exclusion of one sector of schools … is a discriminatory act against our students.”

The letter concluded with a request for a meeting with the Democrat governor to “discuss the proposal and our ongoing concerns regarding safety and security in our schools.” Had their request been granted, Catholic schools like Annunciation would have had access to state funds for security enhancements. However, the letter went unanswered.

It’s the way of the left, demonize anything useful like armed parents guarding a school, paying off duty police to guard a school, firearms education which used to be taught in school. And my own helpful suggestion, ban the mainstream media that propagandizes people to think that it’s the gun and not the sick mentally ill enabled demon holding it. If they truly believe that, I hope they don’t call the police next time there is a problem because a pistol or revolver might show up.

Stupid policies that don’t work and make situations worse, doubling down on stupid, it’s the way of the left.

All the violence is coming from the left.

Trump Unveils Giant Cannon For Faster, More Entertaining Deportations

https://media.babylonbee.com/articles/68ae0bee325a468ae0bee325a5.jpg

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump delighted the nation this week, unveiling plans for a giant cannon that he hopes will facilitate faster, more entertaining deportations.

"We’ve got to make our country safe again, and the best way to do that is with a giant cannon capable of firing them out of the country," said Trump. "I want a circus one. Just tremendous what those circus freaks can do. Can you believe they have a man who tames lions? I told them there’s no way you can tame a lion, but he did it. Anyway, cannons. We’re gonna have so many of them."

Sources say the crowd cheered wildly at the announcement.

Officials are currently testing an advanced cannon prototype in the nation’s capital, using criminals picked up during nightly D.C. patrols as ammunition. If all goes according to plan, cannons will be set up at every port of call, ready to shoot would-be immigrants out of the country at a moment’s notice. But for now, the government will have to make do with firing people over the Potomac River.

Democrats pounced on the President, saying his immigration cannon disproportionately affects minorities. "This sets a dangerous precedent," Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said. "It’s only a matter of time before Trump begins firing American citizens out of a cannon."

"I don’t care how fun and exciting it is to see people shot out of a cannon."

Trump responded to criticism by pointing out that when illegal immigrants are fired out of cannons, they flail around and fly through the air helplessly. "It’s really funny," he said.

At publishing time, Trump, further inspired by the circus, suggested illegal aliens seeking asylum must complete a death-defying trapeze act.

Speed Up Your Internet with This Simple DNS Tweak

https://static1.makeuseofimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2025/05/private-dns-settings-on-android-smartphone.jpg

There are all sorts of different ways to speed up your internet connection. Believe me, I’ve tried most of them, stuck on an aging internet connection that doesn’t get much more than 60Mbps across the whole household. So I was surprised to find that this small tweak actually made a real difference. Best of all, it was super simple to set up.

Why Your Internet Speed Is Slower Than It Should Be

When I think about "slow internet," I immediately imagine a poor Wi-Fi signal or my ISP throttling my incoming connection. And while those can be factors, there’s often more going on. Even with a good plan and a decent router, several bottlenecks can creep in:

  • ISP speed vs. real speed: The speed you pay for and the speed you get can differ, especially at peak times.
  • Router placement: Sticking your router in a corner, behind furniture, or inside a cabinet can hurt Wi-Fi range and speed.
  • Network congestion: Too many devices streaming or downloading at once can slow down the network for everyone.
  • Outdated settings: Your devices and router have default configurations that might not be optimal for performance.

Think of your connection like a motorway. Even if you have the fastest car (a good ISP package), a traffic jam (inefficient settings) can still slow you down. This internet speed tweak tackles one of those hidden jams waiting to snarl you up.

Change Your ISP’s DNS Settings

The tiny change is to ditch your ISP’s default DNS settings for a faster and more reliable alternative.

Now, DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phonebook of the internet. When you type in a website like makeuseof.com, your device asks a DNS server to find its matching IP address. See, computers don’t look up the specific website name, MakeUseOf.com. Each website name corresponds to a specific numerical address on the internet. And when you hit Enter and start the search, the Domain Name System translates that human-readable name into a numerical IP address, and begins to locate the specific server hosting the website.

It feels like magic. But if your DNS server is slow, which is frequently the case with default ISP settings, it adds tiny delays to every page you attempt to load. This also extends to gaming, streaming, sending files, and so on. Basically, if you’re using a slow DNS, everything about your internet connection will feel like a drag.

Switching to a faster DNS can cut down those lookup times and make your internet connection feel faster.

I’ll caveat this by saying that you won’t suddenly find multiple extra megabytes of connection speed. That’s not how it works. However, it can bring marked improvement in responsiveness and page loading times, which, at the end of the day, contribute to your internet feeling faster than before.

Try These Alternative DNS Providers for Faster Internet Speeds

You’re probably wondering how on Earth you find a new DNS provider. Well, don’t worry; I’ve got you covered. There are two ways of doing this.

You could use a tool like Google’s Namebench to find out exactly which DNS provider will provide the absolute fastest DNS settings for your machine. It’s free and easy to use, but takes some time. However, it does provide the most accurate results. Namebench creates a unique list of DNS providers specific for your computer, which is super handy.

Alternatively, and this is the easy option, you can opt for one of the top alternative DNS providers that are known to be faster and more reliable, cutting out the testing phase. These alternative DNS providers include Google DNS, Cloudflare, and OpenDNS, and all frequently rank towards the top of DNS provider rankings. In that, you can’t go wrong using the following settings for your DNS provider:

Provider

IPv4 DNS Addresses

IPv6 DNS Addresses

Google DNS

  • 2001:4860:4860::8888
  • 2001:4860:4860::8844

Cloudflare

  • 2606:4700:4700::1111
  • 2606:4700:4700::1001

OpenDNS

  • 208.67.222.222
  • 208.67.220.220
  • 2620:119:35::35
  • 2620:119:53::53

You’ll need some of these addresses to change your DNS settings in the next section.

How to Change Your DNS Settings

Thankfully, changing your DNS settings on almost any device is a straightforward process.

How to Change Your DNS Settings on Linux

Given that there are so many Linux distros, the method for changing DNS varies. Furthermore, you can change your DNS settings on Linux via the user interface or through the command line, adding extra options. Considering this, I’m not going to delve into how to change DNS settings on each Linux distro; that would be a mammoth undertaking. However, you can check out how to change your Linux DNS settings in GNOME, KDE, and using the terminal, as well as how to change your DNS settings on Ubuntu.

How to Change Your iPhone DNS Settings

It’s similarly simple to change your DNS settings on an iPhone.

  1. First, head to Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the ‘i‘ icon next to your connected network. This will open a settings page for the network you want to adjust. Scroll the page until you reach the DNS header.
  3. Tap the Configure DNS option. By default, this will be set to Automatic. Select Manual to enable further options. The Add Server field will appear Under DNS Server.
  4. Tap the button and enter the IP address of your desired provider.

Once complete, tap Save at the top right of the screen.

How to Change Your DNS Settings on Android Devices

The steps to change your DNS on Android vary depending on your device. However, for stock Android 9.0 and above, the steps are relatively similar (you may have to account for your specific version of Android, though).

  1. Open Settings > Network and Internet.
  2. Tap on the arrow to expand the Advanced settings. By default, the Private DNS field will be set to Automatic. Selecting that option will open an input window.
  3. Tap Private DNS provider hostname. Here, you will need to use the DNS server’s hostname rather than the IP address, as below.

    • Google DNS: dns.google.com
    • Cloudflare: 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com
    • OpenDNS: doh.opendns.com
    • Quad9: dns.quad9.net

Once you’re done and confirm the settings, your Android device will begin using the new DNS settings.

How to Change Your DNS Settings on Chrome OS

Chromebooks use Chrome OS. It’s a nimble, web-focused operating system frequently found in schools, but millions of people use it worldwide.

Xbox Ally handhelds will be available October 16, but we still don’t know the price

Xbox gamers will have a new option for taking their library on the go this fall. During Gamescom 2025, ASUS revealed that the Xbox Ally handheld consoles will be on store shelves on October 16. We heard a thorough explanation of the specs and availability for the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X this summer, but the arrival date is the only new info to come from the major gaming event in Cologne.

There’s still no price available for these handhelds, but we expect to receive that critical detail along with pre-order information some time in the coming weeks. For comparison, the 2024 ROG Ally X costs $800 while the simpler ROG Ally Gaming Console from 2023 costs $500. So if we were hazarding guesses, the ROG Xbox Ally might come in at a price tag around $650, while the spiffier ROG Xbox Ally X could be more in the ballpark of $900. 

The Official Xbox Podcast also included a segment about the upcoming handhelds, with a pair of Xbox execs talking about the devices and their experiences using them for titles like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Balatro. The chatter is unsurprisingly very positive about the hardware, but it might have enough tidbits to hold you over if you’re super amped about getting your own hands on an Xbox Ally this fall.
