The DFL just posted this on X, straight from their official account:
“Minnesota Republicans recently spoke for 20 minutes on ‘improving school safety’ and not once did they mention guns, school shootings, or gun violence. We haven’t forgotten about the 200+ Minnesota children who have been killed by gun violence since 2021.”

Sick. Obvious. And exactly the playbook these monsters have been running since before 2023.
This isn’t “concern” for kids. This is the DFL crime syndicate — Walz and his legislative foot soldiers — exploiting the blood of two innocent children slaughtered at Annunciation Catholic Church and School on August 27, 2025, to ram through more violations of our God-given rights under the constitutional republic. Harper Moyski (10) and Fletcher Merkel (8) were gunned down during all-school Mass by Robin Westman, a former student at that very school. Dozens more wounded in a sacred place of faith and family. Westman had journals full of violent obsessions, mental health red flags dating back years, and a history the DFL’s own policies helped bury. No major adult criminal record tripped alarms because the system was already rigged to look away.
The DFL didn’t pull the trigger. They set the stage. And now they’re using the bodies of Catholic school kids to hook the uninformed, the misguided, and the unaware into their psychological warfare operation.
Let’s call it what it is: Munchausen by proxy on a statewide scale. The DFL creates the illness — then screams that only more government control can cure it. Stockholm syndrome for the masses: abuse the public, erode their safety and families, then pose as the savior while tightening the chains. This is straight communist destabilization tactics dressed up as “progressive reform.” Break the family. Fracture the community. Sow fear and chaos. Erase truth from the records. Then blame the Second Amendment and disarm the productive citizens who actually follow the rules.
It started years before 2023, but the DFL trifecta supercharged it when they seized full control. Soft-on-crime policies. “Equity”-driven non-prosecution. Defund-the-police mentalities that left streets and schools vulnerable. Mental health systems gutted or twisted into enabling delusions instead of treating real illness. And then the crown jewel: the Clean Slate Act (HF 2023), rammed through in 2023 and live January 1, 2025.
Automatic sealing of hundreds of thousands of criminal records — petty misdemeanors, most misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and piles of non-violent felonies. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension wipes them from standard background checks. Employers, landlords, schools, and law enforcement go blind. The offender can legally say “no” when asked if they have a record. The DFL called it “breaking barriers” and “redemption.” Bullshit. It was a deliberate shield for their foot soldiers, nonprofit grifters, repeat low-level chaos agents, and street-level operators. Patterns of violence, threats, and mental instability — buried. Public safety? Sacrificed so the syndicate’s networks could keep looting, defrauding, and destabilizing Minnesota families without the paper trail.
They excluded the absolute worst on paper, but the culture they built — leniency, plea deals, ignored juvenile flags, “restorative justice” that restores nothing — created the perfect storm. Troubled individuals like Westman slip through with histories hidden or downplayed. Families and communities get destabilized by the resulting fear and crime. Trust erodes. Parents wonder if the next Mass or school day ends in horror.
Then the DFL turns around and screams the sky is falling on “gun violence.” They push assault weapon bans, magazine limits, red-flag expansions, storage mandates — every unconstitutional infringement on the Second Amendment they can dream up. All while their record-wiping racket and soft policies made it harder to spot the real threats. The same machine that attacked a Catholic school during Mass now pivots to disarming law-abiding farmers, fathers, and faithful Minnesotans.
This is information warfare and psychological operations at its sickest. Hide the data. Rewrite reality. Flood the media with fear porn to hook decent people who just want their kids safe. Good-hearted Minnesotans get angry and frustrated — exactly as designed — and miss the real enemy: the DFL syndicate engineering the chaos to justify more control. It’s not about guns. It’s about breaking families, fracturing communities, and advancing a communist agenda that treats the constitutional republic like an obstacle to be dismantled.
Real mercy and second chances? They come through genuine repentance, restitution, and transformation in Christ — not government whitewashing that endangers the innocent flock. As a retired Navy intelligence officer, fraud whistleblower, farmer, father, and employee of a Catholic Church who walks with my Savior Jesus every day, I see this clearly. These policies aren’t mistakes. They’re weapons in a racket that’s looting our state while attacking the foundations of faith, family, and freedom.
The blood of Harper and Fletcher, the suffering at Annunciation, and every family living in fear demand truth, not spin. Minnesotans are done being played.
The Minnesota worth fighting for in 2026: A constitutional republic where children attend school Mass in peace, without bullets shattering stained glass. Families walk secure in their neighborhoods. Farmers protect their land and livestock without hidden threats. Communities stand strong on truth, accountability, and personal responsibility — not fear sown by the syndicate. Safe streets. Protected kids. Transparent justice that dismantles the looting networks root and branch. Hardworking Minnesotans thriving free from the racket, grounded in faith and the unalienable rights our founders secured.
No more bait. No more abuse. Full repeal of the Clean Slate sabotage and every policy that blinded us to real dangers. Expose the DFL’s sick operation for what it is. Restore accountability. Rebuild stronger.
Republicans and every freedom-loving Minnesotan must stop taking the bait and start calling these monsters out by name. The problem isn’t guns. The problem is the DFL crime syndicate that set the stage for Annunciation — then used it to push their agenda.
Enough.
