Senseless tragedies often make the world feel irredeemable.
Adam Johnson, formerly of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins, was killed on the ice during an Elite Ice Hockey League game in England on Oct. 28.
According to USA Today, 24-year-old Ryan Wolfe — Johnson’s girlfriend of three years — has since discovered an engagement ring in the apartment they shared.
Family friends confirmed that J0hnson, 29, had intended to propose to Wolfe.
Grant Clafton, one of Johnson’s former coaches, described the slain player as a “joyful grump” who eventually “became just joyful. And we all know Ryan was the reason.”
“I was looking forward to the life that Ryan and Adam were creating and deserved. And my heart breaks for her,” Clafton said at Johnson’s memorial.
Johnson was killed during the second period of a game between his Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers.
As Johnson carried the puck into the Steelers’ defensive zone, he began veering toward the middle of the ice. At that point, he collided with Steelers player Matt Petgrave, whose left skate slashed Johnson’s throat.
Johnson collapsed to the ice and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
On social media, video of the incident caused a firestorm of controversy. Some thought Petgrave raised his skate intentionally, while others deemed the collision a freak accident.
On Tuesday, South Yorkshire police arrested an opposing player — presumably Petgrave — on “suspicion of manslaughter.” The English justice system will determine the rest.
Of course, even if Petgrave is convicted, Wolfe will feel nothing resembling justice.
At Johnson’s funeral last week in Minnesota, where the couple grew up and met one another, the young woman read a tribute to Johnson as if he were still here — the sort of thing she might have read on their wedding day.
“You’ve been so amazingly supportive and kind to me since the day we met. And I couldn’t have been more grateful for it. I always thought that maybe if I was lucky enough, after a lifetime together, that I might start to be more like you,” Wolfe said, according to the Daily Mail.
Later, when describing Johnson’s dreams of starting a farm, she envisioned him in his new home.
“I just hope in heaven they let you have your farm, and all the cows and chickens your little heart desires,” she said.
Finally, she shifted to the past tense.
“To me you were everything. You were my home, my best friend, my sounding board, my rock, my safe haven and the love of my life. I’m never gonna stop thinking about you, missing you and loving you until we can be together again.”
After the death of Abigail Adams on Oct. 28, 1818, her husband John Adams — the Founding Father and second U.S. president — received a letter from his friend, Thomas Jefferson.
Instead of offering what he called “useless condolances,” Jefferson gave his grieving friend a vision of a glorious future.
Together, Jefferson wrote, he and Adams could look forward to the day when they would “ascend in essence to an ecstatic meeting with the friends we have loved & lost and whom we shall still love and never lose again.”
Jefferson had it right. Condolences feel like platitudes. Visions of ecstatic meetings, however, give hope.
Until then — hard as it is — we must remind ourselves that a world in which we know tragedies is also the only kind of world in which we can learn the meaning and value of love.

The Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, has selected several very interesting “experts” to find out what caused Robert Card to shoot and kill several members of the community in Lewiston Maine.
We know Robert Card was a mental health patient of the US military, through Keller Hospital, and also the private psychiatric hospital Four Winds in Katonah, New York. AbleChild has already covered Psychiatrist Dr. Ng.
ABLECHILD: Maine Governor’s Choice of Psychiatrist to Investigate Mass Murderer Is a Poor Choice for America
Now, let’s look at Dr. Debra Baeder.
Dr. Debra Baeder, Ph.D – Certified in forensic psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology, Baedar served as Chief Forensic Psychologist for the State Forensic Service in Maine and then as the Director of Clinical Services for the Maine Office of Behavioral Health for 23 years.
Dr. Bader appears to be an “expert” in Assessment Risk for Violence in Juveniles. She even offers a course where, apparently, one can learn about “Risk Assessments.”
Again, there is zero science behind these questionnaires, checklists, and assessments. The federal government has invested billions of US taxpayers’ money into psychiatry and its bags of subjective criteria.
We know from the history of Card he was identified as a risk and we have been told that assessments were done; however, the public has not been provided with the paperwork to really understand who, when, and where these evaluations took place.
Remember, Henderson Behavioral Health in Florida treated Nikolas Cruz on and off for years and provided the youth cocktails of psychiatric drugs – these cocktails of psychiatric drugs have never been tested or approved by the FDA.
[Cruz killed 17 students and faculty members in Florida on Valentine’s Day in 2018 and injured another 17 students in the deadliest high school shooting in US history.]
The State of Florida vendor, Henderson Behavioral Health, did do a “risk assessment” on Cruz. In fact, Henderson said he wasn’t a harm to himself or others.
The Florida appeals court ruled against the Parkland parents on May 27, 2020 (reference Miami Herald, article 243027576). “At one point, counselors from Henderson Behavioral Health advised police that Cruz was not a risk to harm himself or anyone else.”
NBC South Florida reported the Florida Court Mental Health Provider Not Liable in Parkland School on May 27, 2020. An appeals court has ruled “A mental health provider cannot be held liable.”
The Hill reported, Florida Court Finds Mental Health Facility Not Liable in Parkland Massacre” by Alexandra Kelley “Changing America” On Wednesday, the 4th district court of appeal concurred with the lower courts previous ruling and determined that Henderson could not be held liable for the shooting and was not negligent in failing to prevent Cruz’s mainstreaming or reporting his dangerous propensities.”
The Judge reportedly wrote that “although there may be a special relationship between Henderson and Cruz and separately between the high school and its students there is not special relationship between a student patient’s mental health provider and other students, who attend school with the patients.”
The judge further ruled that Henderson did owe a legal duty to the school to disclose patient details, it would undermine the doctor-patient confidentiality relationship and potentially disincentivize mental health professionals from treating students.”
Wow. Interestingly enough, the Governor of Maine appoints a “risk assessment expert” to find the facts while the public has no legal recourse to hold the behavioral health vendors responsible for the subjective treatments and cocktail of drugs they are providing to the patients. The treatment records of a mass murderer are withheld because it would undermine the doctor-patient confidentially relationship and potentially disincentivize mental health professionals from treating students.
The public has a right to this information and without it, the Governor’s commission is just another in a long line of useless efforts to get to the bottom of what causes these mass shootings.
The benefits of protecting the billion-dollar behavioral health and mental health industry outweigh the risk that society is suffering.
Governor Mill’s fact finders will meet on Monday to start their investigation to solve the deadly mass murders that took innocent lives and wrecked the lives of those who loved them.
Long ago, it was a police department with detectives that solved crimes, not political appointed committees that are tied to law firms that defend Big Pharma and Mental Health and Behavioral Health providers that always appear to be involved with the killers prior to the crime.

On Friday Night Speaker Mike Johnson fulfilled his commitment to release the security camera footage from the January 6, 2021 protests at the US Capitol.
The first batch of video was released Friday afternoon.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson previously declared his intention to release thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capitol.
on Friday Johnson tweeted, “Today, I am keeping my promise to the American people and making all the January 6th tapes available to ALL Americans.”
Of course, Democrats and Liz Cheney lost their minds! They know they are about to be exposed.
On Saturday morning, Steve Bannon invited investigative journalist Julie Kelly on to The War Room to discuss this development.
During their discussion, Julie Kelly called for a new Congressional investigation into the events on January 6.
Steve Bannon agreed and added this,
Steve Bannon: He must reinstate the Joint Committee on J6. Let them have a ranking member, let him have minority council. Let’s set it up the right way, not the way that was set up. It’s one of the key arguments I’ve made in my case, which I don’t talk much about. But you can’t do it the way Nancy Pelosi did it. You have to do it by the rules.
But Johnson must set this up. We must have the House go through and do a formal event. This must be adjudicated… Two things we must adjudicate now. This must be done. Is, number one, we have to get to the bottom of J Six, and this footage is part of it. We have to get to the bottom of it. Wherever it leads. We have to get to the bottom of it. All of it. All of it. And you also have to investigate Nancy Pelosi’s committee. This committee I think there’s brazen criminality in what they did, and I think that will be proven. Criminality.
We all know it’s true.
No wonder Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are freaking out! They know they lied for years to the American people!

Chief Special Warfare Operator Bryce Henson, an active-duty Navy SEAL known for exposing, challenging, and resisting CRT, radical gender ideology, and vaccine/mask tyranny in Southern California, is now under investigation for allegedly supporting “extremist” group “Proud Boys.”
Henson is currently under investigation by the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC).
The investigation reportedly concerns allegations of “possibly participating with, or supporting, extremist causes,” Navy spokesman Cmdr. Ben Tisdale confirmed to Military.com.
This investigation was prompted by Henson’s involvement in parental rights protests and his public stance against LGBTQ+ education in schools.
Known under the pseudonym Ben Richards, Henson has been a significant figure at school board and city council meetings, advocating against LGBTQ+ indoctrination, Critical Race Theory, and other woke and radical educational policies.
He founded SoCal Parent Advocates, a group that echoes these sentiments on its website.
Here’s one video of Henson during a school board meeting:
This inquiry by the Naval Special Warfare Command has raised questions about Henson’s freedom of speech.
“While Sailors are always allowed to exercise their rights to freedom of speech and assembly if they follow the law and policy restriction, participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is contradictory to the core values of the Navy and is not tolerated by NSW,” a Naval Special Warfare Command spokesperson told Newsweek.
“As a matter of policy, we will not release specific details about the ongoing investigation. We ask for the public’s patience and understanding as we proceed with this investigation. Our priority is to ensure a fair and just process for all parties involved.”
Newsweek reported:
It comes after KPBS in San Diego reported that Henson, who has also identified himself as Ben Richards, was seen at several rallies held by the Proud Boys. The local news station reported that since July 2022, Henson has been photographed at least 12 different rallies, mostly opposing LGBTQ+ issues. The Naval Special Warfare Command did not provide details on specific groups that Henson could have been associated with but KPBS reported that many of the photos they obtained show him alongside members of the Proud Boys.
Henson told the Times that he uses a different name to combat the parts of the transgender community, saying that people should respect his different “identity” if members of the transgender community want him to “respect their crazy identity.”
KPBS also reported that Henson attended a rally against the LGBTQ+ community after a situation where a transgender woman used a female locker room. Henson previously spoke on a Christian podcast and said he attended different rallies to combat a “radical trans army,” according to Military.com.

Julie Kelly then called on Republicans to call in the the January 6 “hero” cops to come in and testify and explain all of their lies!
Via Midnight Rider.
Julie Kelly: I want all of those four celebrity January 6 cops, Mike Fanone, Dan Hodges, Aquilino Ganell, and Harry Dunn. They not only lied under oath to Congress in that hearing, they have lied under oath in court testimony and victim impact statements that have prompted longer prison sentences because they’ve all lied about what they endured on January 6, what they saw, allegations of racism. Michael Fanone was almost killed. We also have footage that totally contradicts that. Those four need to be put back on the stand under oath and explain their lies.
