Mary Grace Westman, the mother of the transgender Minneapolis mass shooter and child killer Robin Westman appears to have fled and is not cooperating with police.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that a male in his 20s opened fire on children as they attended mass at Annunciation Catholic School, killing at least two children and injuring 14 children and three adults. Police say the shooter was armed with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.

The shooter was later identified as 23-year-old transgender Robert “Robin” Westman. Westman is deceased.

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.

The FBI is investigating the mass shooting as a domestic terror attack and a hate crime against Catholics.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, who has repeatedly stated he just can’t figure out the motive behind the anti-Catholic transgender shooter’s mass shooting, told the press on Thursday that Westman’s mother is not cooperating with law enforcement.

“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said.

After a transgender individual killed two people and injured 17 others in a shooting at a Minnesota Catholic school on August 27, it took several hours before social media users uncovered the perpetrator’s identity using Department of Justice and other public law enforcement records. Mainstream outlets suppressed this fact.

Conservative commentator Andy Ngo tweeted: “Today’s killing of Christian children at a church in Minneapolis occurred in the context of a surge in far-left trans propaganda encouraging Trantifa and other leftists to take up arms to kill transphobes and ‘fascists.’ Their targets: Christians and conservatives. I have been warning and reporting on this phenomenon for years and am called a liar by liberal media, and targeted with death threats by the far-left.”

This reflects a broader trend: transgender identity is often omitted when individuals are perpetrators, while their victimization receives extensive coverage. Numerous websites track violence against LGBTQ people, but almost none record violence committed by them. In cases involving gender, the media will frequently refer to a man dressed as a woman simply as a woman, or vice versa, omitting the fact that the person is transgender.

The Washington Examiner highlighted this double standard, noting that “The media have bent over backward to downplay, or even refuse to report entirely, the fact that the shooter had been ‘identifying’ as a gender not actually her own” and that “The message is clear: The media will bend over backward to kowtow to transgender ideology when it benefits the gender bender yet will also do backflips to hide a transgender status if somebody might draw negative inferences.”

This bias is reinforced by the way data is collected. There are extensive official and NGO databases tracking violence against transgender people, such as Human Rights Campaign reports, FBI hate crime statistics, and other NGO monitoring systems, but there is no comparable official system tracking cases where transgender individuals are perpetrators. Instead, information relies on “networked agencies and journalists to correctly identify victims’ gender identities,” leaving systematic gaps whenever the offender is transgender.

Ironically, while there is also comprehensive data on transgender suicides, these reports consistently suppress the fact that many occur after individuals have undergone surgical transition, undermining the narrative that surgery reliably improves mental health and stability. This asymmetry in reporting and data collection creates a skewed picture that amplifies victimhood while obscuring cases that challenge prevailing narratives.

One of the most common talking points is the “Do you want more dead kids?” narrative, used to argue that children must transition and that schools should not be required to inform parents. The claim is that if kids who want to transition are denied the opportunity, they will inevitably commit suicide.

The reality, however, is starkly different. Research consistently shows that suicide rates remain elevated, or even increase, after medical or surgical transition. A Swedish study (Dhejne et al., 2011) found that post-surgery transgender individuals had a 19.1-fold greater likelihood of death by suicide compared to matched controls, along with a 4.9 times higher risk of suicide attempts. A 2024 study concluded that gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive psychiatric support after these procedures.

The U.S. National Transgender Discrimination Survey (2010) similarly reported increased rates of attempted suicide after transition, with 45 percent of those who medically transitioned and 43 percent of those who surgically transitioned reporting suicide attempts. An Amsterdam study found that among 35 recent clinic visitors, 16 had died by suicide following surgeries such as vaginoplasty or phalloplasty.

Even the American Journal of Psychiatry had to issue a correction to a major 2019 study, clarifying that surgery offered no measurable advantage in reducing mood or anxiety disorders, prescriptions, or hospitalizations related to suicide attempts.

These studies also point to methodological flaws in the research often cited in support of transition. Many suffer from massive dropout rates, with researchers losing track of more than half of participants. As Dr. Hyde observed, this could reflect high levels of dissatisfaction or even suicide among post-operative individuals.

While activists continue to argue that transition saves lives, the most rigorous studies show no mental health benefit from surgery. Suicide rates remain alarmingly high, and the data that suggests otherwise is undermined by weak methodology and incomplete tracking.

The board is set, the pieces are moving.

As Latin American countries start taking sides, the US’ largest military contingent in 25 years has been sent to Latin America.

Over 4,000 Marines and sailors have been deployed to the waters of the Caribbean as part of a ‘counter-cartel mission’.

This deployment includes the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (comprising the USS Iwo Jima, USS Fort Lauderdale, and USS San Antonio), a nuclear-powered attack submarine, three destroyers (USS Gravely, USS Jason Duhan, and USS Sampson) a guided-missile cruiser, and additional P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft.

In the meantime, many Latin American countries are starting to position themselves regarding the upcoming operations.

• Argentina declares the Cartel de los Soles an international terrorist organization, joining the diplomatic offensive against the criminal network linked to Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
• Paraguay President Santiago Peña signed a decree classifying the Cartel of the Suns, allegedly led by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, as an international terrorist organization, and urged their citizens to leave the country immediately.
• The Republic of Guyana expressed ‘support for a collaborative and integrated approach to tackle transnational organized crime’.
• Even unprompted, Trinidad & Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar formally backed the deployment of US Navy Vessels against drug cartels, and even in the event of a Venezuelan invasion of Guyana over the Essequibo Region, allowing USN access.

And then, there’s Brazil.

• While Brasilia hasn’t even formally recognized Maduro’s presidency, everyone expects Lula da Silva to help his socialist counterpart.
• A news website specialized in military affairs reported that Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be preparing ‘Operation Imeri’, with the objective of rescuing Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
• Lula’s government denied the report – but no one was quite convinced.

As all this is happening, US GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez said that Nicolas Maduro’s wife could turn him in because she ‘intends to rule Venezuela’.

Reuters reported:

“A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said on Thursday that seven U.S. warships, along with one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, were either in the region or were expected to be there in the coming week.

[…] It is unclear what exactly their mission will be, but the Trump administration has said it can now use the military to go after drug cartels and criminal groups and has directed the Pentagon to prepare options.”

President Trump on Wednesday fired Richard Primus, a Democrat member of the Surface Transportation Board and he is refusing to leave the post.

Primus is not only refusing to leave after being fired, but he is also threatening to file a lawsuit.

According to The Hill, Primus was fired because he did not align with Trump’s America First agenda.

“The Administration intends to nominate new, more qualified members to the Surface Transportation Board in short order,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told The Hill.

Richard Primus wrote a lengthy message on his LinkedIn account after he was fired. He said he will file a lawsuit if he is forced out of his post.

“Earlier this evening, I received an email from the White House purporting to terminate my position at the Surface Transportation Board. This is deeply troubling and legally invalid. Ironically, this comes at a time when the Board is considering significant pressing matters of critical importance to both our national freight rail network and supply chain that would directly affect large swaths of our manufacturing, agricultural, industrial and energy sectors,” Robert Primus wrote on LinkedIn.

“As someone who was nominated by President Trump during his first term and unanimously confirmed by a Republican-led Senate, then renominated by President Biden and unanimously confirmed by a Democrat-led Senate, I have worked tirelessly to build bipartisan trust and have demonstrated myself to be truly an independent Board member that has consistently rendered fair and impartial decisions. My record during my four and a half years at the Board reflects this and I strongly believe the actions of the White House would weaken the Board and adversely affect the freight rail network in a way that may ultimately hurt consumers and the economy,” Primus said.

“With all of this in mind, I plan to continue to discharge my duties as a member of the Board and, if I’m prevented from doing so, I will explore my legal options,” he said.

This is very big news! The Hill reported that House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has launched an investigation into far-left Wikipedia.

Chairman James Comer, (R-KY) and Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-SC) chair of the panel’s subcommittee on cybersecurity, information technology and government innovation, sent an information request concerning the issue to Maryana Iskander, chief executive officer of the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia on Wednesday.

The letter demands that CEO Maryana Iskander provide information on foreign operations and individuals at academic institutions subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars to influence U.S. public opinion.

The Committees are requesting the following information from Wikipedia in their ongoing investigation.

1. Records, communications, or analysis pertaining to possible coordination by nation state actors in editing activities on Wikipedia.
2. Records, communications, or analysis pertaining to possible coordination within academic institutions or other organized efforts to edit or influence content identified as possibly violating Wikipedia policies.
3. Records of Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) including but not limited to all editor conduct disputes and actions taken against them.
4. Records showing identifying and unique characteristics of accounts (such as names, IP addresses, registration dates, user activity logs) for editors subject to actions by ArbCom.
5. Documentation of Wikipedia’s editorial policies and protocols including those aimed at ensuring neutrality and addressing bias as well as policies regarding discipline for violations.
6. Any analysis conducted or reviewed by the Wikimedia Foundation (or by a third-party acting on its behalf) of patterns of manipulation or bias related to antisemitism and conflicts with the State of Israel.

Here is a full copy of the demand letter sent to Wikipedia on Wednesday.

This is great news for conservative and independent publishers who have been severely damaged by Wikipedia’s lies and vicious attacks by the internet giant.

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in April — It’s not a secret that The Gateway Pundit, the fifth-largest conservative news website in America today, has one of the most dishonest and vile entries on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately for us, we do not own our name or entry “Gateway Pundit” on Wikipedia – the far-left editors do. We cannot comment or explain any entry under our name, we cannot edit our entry to include our award-winning journalism, we cannot rebut any of their lies about us, and we cannot add a mention of the hundreds of reports that were completely accurate and completely discredited the radical left.

Wikipedia is a great tool for the radical left and it has cost conservatives, including this website, millions of dollars in potential traffic and income.

The Gateway Pundit is not the only conservative website that Wikipedia smears and lies about.

In December 2019, T. D. Adler at Breitbart News reported that Wikipedia blacklists now included The Epoch Times and The Gateway Pundit for our truthful reporting on Russiagate.

Wikipedia highlighted The Gateway Pundit’s reporting that was true and factual and used it against us as an excuse to censor our website.

According to Adler,

China critics the Epoch Times and conservative outlet the Gateway Pundit have been banned from use as reliable sources on Wikipedia in the latest cases of news outlets that support President Trump being banned from the online encyclopedia. The Epoch Times ban proposal cited NBC’s hit piece on the site over its coverage of improprieties in the Russia investigation, commonly called Spygate, which prompted smear efforts against the outlet on Wikipedia. Gateway Pundit was proposed for a ban shortly after Epoch Times.

The Epoch Times Wikipedia ban proposal was apparently prompted by one of its articles being cited on the Wikipedia page for Joseph Mifsud, a key controversial figure in the origins of the discredited Russia investigation. Gateway Pundit’s ban was in response to the outlet being cited for past media silence over Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.

Over the past year, Wikipedia editors have been on a banning spree targeting conservative news sources. Having previously banned the Daily Mail as a source, the following year marked the beginning of an acceleration of the process. Since then, editors have imposed similar bans on fifteen other sites aside from Epoch Times and Gateway Pundit. While some data-focused sites and state-owned outlets in Venezuela and Iran have also been banned, the bulk of the sites banned have been conservative-leaning news outlets. Breitbart News was blacklisted as a “reliable source” on Wikipedia in 2018…

…Gateway Pundit’s ban came from a proposal soon after the proposed ban for Epoch Times. The ban proposal came in response to editor “BullRangifer” removing a 2017 piece criticizing media silence on Ukraine colluding with Democrats to influence the 2016 election. The article was originally added to frame Gateway Pundit as “fueling conspiracy theories” related to the impeachment inquiry over Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In fact, the piece correctly noted Politico’s coverage of DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa soliciting Ukrainian interference and then-Democratic minority leader of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff expressing concerns about the reported interference.

Criticism of Gateway Pundit was harsher during the ban discussion, though still predominantly from left-wing editors. Some regarded the outlet as unreliable, but argued against a full sourcing ban as they believed some legitimate uses may exist. In addition to Simonm223, who also voted for the ban, editors advocating a ban included “Snooganssnoogans” and “Volunteer Marek” who each have a history of smearing the outlet on Wikipedia.

That is just one example.

These attacks on Wikipedia against The Gateway Pundit have been ongoing for years.

Wikipedia even attacked The Gateway Pundit for our COVID coverage, which we now know was the most accurate in the country. The Trump administration even created a website to show the truth about the Chinese laboratory virus and the government website agrees with all of our previous reporting on the subject. Wikipedia was reporting inaccurate information on the subject for years and attacking and smearing those who reported the truth.

Maybe, Wikipedia’s lies and biased attacks have finally caught up with them.

US Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin wrote to the Wikimedia Foundation, which sponsors Wikipedia, demanding answers to its years of biased, politicized, and dishonest targeting of conservative entries on the platform.

Attorney Martin requested that the Wikimedia Foundation turn over documents regarding its tax-exempt status. The foundation had until May 15, 2025, to turn over the documents.

Now, the Oversight Committee is also going after the far-left smear machine.

Let’s pray something comes of it.
