In late October of 2024, Loretta Guzman called 911 because her nephew had been shot.
After hearing at least 10 shots, she needed police to secure the scene and an ambulance to try to save his life.
Instead, she got a recording.
He died before help arrived.

Atheists: The Catholic Church has always been against science
Meanwhile the Church:
• Georges Lemaître — Catholic priest; proposed the “primeval atom” theory, which became the foundation of the modern Big Bang cosmological model.
• Gregor Mendel — Augustinian friar; discovered the laws of inheritance (Mendelian genetics), forming the basis of modern genetics.
• Nicolaus Copernicus — Catholic canon; developed the heliocentric model (Sun-centered solar system), transforming astronomy.
• Christopher Clavius — Jesuit priest; principal mathematician behind the Gregorian calendar reform still used worldwide today.
• Roger Boscovich — Jesuit priest; early theory of atomic structure and force fields, influencing modern physics concepts.
• Angelo Secchi — Jesuit priest; pioneer of astrophysics and first classification system of stars based on spectra.
• Francesco Maria Grimaldi — Jesuit priest; discovered diffraction of light and contributed to wave theory of optics.
• Jean Picard — Catholic priest; first highly accurate measurement of Earth’s radius using modern scientific instruments.
• Nicolas Steno — Catholic bishop; founded stratigraphy (law of superposition), a foundation of modern geology.
• Marin Mersenne — Minim friar; “Mersenne primes” in number theory are named after him; also built scientific communication networks across Europe.
• Benito Viñes — Jesuit priest; developed early hurricane tracking and forecasting methods in Cuba.
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city's mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass "an incredible liar," and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year.
CBS News' @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.
Under NO circumstance can Planned Parenthood receive taxpayer dollars to fund abortions and transgender insanity
I’m offering this amendment to BAN federal funding from Planned Parenthood
A must-read this Monday.
A society that offers death instead of justice betrays those it is meant to protect.
In this essay for @RestoringWest, @daisymaeinglese shows how Noelia Castillo’s case exposes a deeper moral collapse: when suffering is met not with justice, healing, and care—but with death—we have failed the vulnerable.
Member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, warns America of the planned Islamic takeover
She says there are actual manuals that were created by Muslim leaders to take over the United States, and they’re being followed
“The establishment of mosques of Islamic centers that are paid for by governments like Saudi Arabia and Qatar to promote, assist a belief system that is hostile and that is designed to replace the existing our American system. — It is gradual. It is a match through the systems, through government, through the media, through education, through the family. And I'm not making these things up.
— You can access all this information. You can get these Dawah manuals and just read for yourself how they set out their strategies, get into campuses, establish Muslim student associations. The Muslim student associations, they're given tools and tactics and to islamize that particular institution. And it's the same for government, the same for media. And it's working.
It's working because right now you cannot discuss political Islam. It's been made a taboo, a time Islamophobia has been invented. That makes you, especially — a white man, it, it uses your own vulnerabilities against you because the minute you start to question their goals, their objectives, you're not having a conversation about those particular facts. We are going to have a conversation about you are bigotry”
When peaceful Christian conviction is treated as hate speech, free speech in Europe is already in grave danger.
In this essay for @RestoringWest, @daisymaeinglese argues that the prosecution of @PaiviRasanen is not just a legal wrong, but a warning about what happens when orthodox Christian belief is recast as a punishable offense.

Italy Meloni: "There is an ongoing process of Islamization in Europe, which is very far from the values of our civilization. Sharia law means stoning for adultery, the death penalty for apostasy, and homosexuality."
