I have been the loudest voice on X about this case, bar none.

Everyone calling me a racist for calling out what happened to Iryna on the train is suddenly extremely silent about me ALSO calling out this case, in which a black woman got stabbed on a train

I will call out crime, no matter where it happens, people deserve to be safe in America

Period.

End of story.

It just so happens that black men are the people stabbing women on trains in this country, and if that hurts your feelings, I’m sorry, but it’s just the truth

They are stabbing white women and black women

We need to lock violent criminals away for life.

We need to protect the innocent.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Disappointed to see Democrats once again fail the American people.

The SAVE America Act was a commonsense measure to strengthen confidence in our elections.

[Commentary 🇺🇸 Tom Homan @HomanNews]

💥 KABOOM 💥🚨

Marco Rubio just said something that’s blowing up online.

He pointed to Americans who worked their entire lives, only to retire on $800–$1,000 a month in Social Security.

Then compared it to claims that some new arrivals receive higher monthly benefits.

Read that again.

Worked your whole life…
Less support.

Just arrived…
More support?

🇺🇸🔥

This is why the debate over benefits, fairness, and government priorities is EXPLODING right now.

People are asking:

Who comes first?

America First — that’s the message.

Watch closely.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

These are all common sense!

Southern Poverty Law Center is a criminal organization

Can’t think of a single time this happened

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

The water is ON, the Reflecting Pool is reflecting, and D.C. is looking better than ever.

We are so back. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP. 🇺🇸

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Something is truly sad but it is not the cleaned reflecting pool

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

@johnnymaga Very sad to lose this. Very sad.

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Outstanding, truly outstanding. THIS, just when you think the Democrat Party can't sink any lower.

[Karol Markowicz @karol]

The Democrats have accepted that Graham Platner had a Nazi tattoo, roots for American military deaths, mocks rape victims, demeans rural Americans and is abusive to women. Is there any line they won’t cross? My column up now at @FoxNews https://t.co/nxZduMj8Rv

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

@catturd2 He can't hide behind that cackle.

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Yes, let's see if he can ignore the mess he helped create post November.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Thom Tillis voted against the SAVE America Act.

Good riddance to the POS Traitor... He is done in November.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

Traitor who won’t secure our elections says what?

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Something smells like yesterday's diapers. LA is gonna need a lot of air freshener. Their endocrine systems are already twisted anyway.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Says the guy two has profited big time from capitalism. He and Bernie be mates same trash rhetoric.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Mark Ruffalo thinks it's time America rethinks capitalism: "It’s gonna take some re-imagining of what America is."

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

Why indeed? Someone is only pretending to be concerned and have overlooked that the American people gave Trump clear mandates. They are ignoring Trump AND the American people.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

@timburchett @ThomGallagher27 Honestly Tim?

The GOP feels like it’s purposely trying to lose the midterms right now.

And I hate to say it, because I know the Democrats are awful…

But why are the GOP hell bent on not passing Trump’s agenda?

No DOGE cuts.
Still funding the Taliban.
No SAVE Act.

I need you to picture something for me.

It is New Year's Eve. The year is 2011. Blanchard, Oklahoma.

There is an 18-year-old girl alone in a mobile home. Her husband — 40 years her senior, her best friend, her protector — died of lung cancer six days ago. On Christmas Day. She buried him, came home, and now it is New Year's Eve and she is holding a three-month-old baby boy.

Her name is Sarah McKinley.

She hears a knock at the door. She looks through the peephole. A man she does not know — a man named Justin Martin who had showed up at her husband's funeral under the pretense of offering condolences — is standing on her porch. He says he is a neighbor who needs help. Her gut says something else entirely. She tells him to leave.

He doesn't leave.

He goes to the back door and tries to force his way in. He is not alone. There are two of them. And through the door, he tells her: "Let me in or I'll kill you."

Think about that for one second. Her husband is six days in the ground. She has a baby in her arms. She is 18 years old. And a man is threatening to kill her while trying to break down her door.

What Sarah McKinley did next is the part the gun control crowd does not want to talk about.

She put the bottle in the baby's mouth. She grabbed her 12-gauge shotgun. She grabbed her pistol. She pushed a couch against one door, went to the bedroom, and called 911. She had two guns in her hands and an infant in her lap, and she stayed on the phone with dispatcher Diane Graham for 21 minutes while those men worked to get through her door.

At one point she asked the dispatcher a question that should be on the wall of every legislature in America: "I've got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?"

Dispatcher Diane Graham said: "I can't tell you that you can do that, but you have to do what you have to do to protect your baby."

Twenty-one minutes. She held the line for twenty-one minutes.

When Justin Martin finally kicked through that door and came toward her with a 12-inch hunting knife, Sarah McKinley pulled the trigger.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. His accomplice was charged with first-degree murder under Oklahoma law — which holds that when you commit a crime and a death results, you are responsible for that death. No charges were filed against Sarah. Oklahoma law was perfectly clear on why.

No charges. Because the law recognized something that the gun control lobby cannot bring itself to acknowledge: she had every right to be alive.

The media gave this story exactly the coverage you would expect for a story that destroys the narrative. A few days. Some local coverage. A brief appearance on a cable talk show. And then it disappeared. No Everytown fundraiser. No congressional testimony. No orange awareness ribbon for Sarah McKinley. Because she survived. And the gun control campaign has no use for survivors.

Now let me give you the data behind what you just read.

John Lott — University of Chicago economist, researcher of 13,312 statistically controlled regressions across every county in America — found that approximately 95 percent of the time a gun is used defensively, it is NEVER EVEN FIRED. A woman opens a curtain and points a gun at a man kicking down her door, and he runs — straight into a wall in one documented case — and no shot is ever fired. No dead body. No 911 call. No news story. And no awareness campaign.

Between 760,000 and 3.6 million defensive gun uses occur in America every year, depending on which survey you use. The Department of Justice's own floor estimate is 65,000. A JAMA study from March 2025 put the number of DGUs where a firearm was actually discharged at 489,000 annually. That is almost HALF A MILLION times in a single year that a law-abiding person used a firearm to stop a crime being committed against them or someone they loved.

You do not hear about them because nobody died. And nobody died because the gun was there.

The Supreme Court has already settled the question of whether the government is required to protect you. DeShaney v. Winnebago County, 1989. Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 2005. The answer is no. No legal obligation. None. You are your own first responder. That is not a political argument. That is settled constitutional law from the highest court in the United States.

So the political class that just told you the government is not required to protect you... is also the political class trying to disarm the Sarah McKinleys of this country.

Think about what that actually means. An 18-year-old widow with a baby and a 12-gauge is the reason a three-month-old boy grew up with a mother. Take the gun out of that story and tell me how it ends differently.

I will wait.

Quinn's Law Number One. Liberalism produces the opposite of its stated intent. They say they want to protect women. They want to disarm the tool that kept one alive on New Year's Eve while she sat on a bedroom floor with a baby in her lap and a man threatening to kill her on the other side of the door.

I am DONE with the performance. I am done with the orange shirts and the awareness months that suppress the data that would actually SAVE the people they claim to be fighting for. The research is not ambiguous. The story is not ambiguous. The law is not ambiguous.

The gun does not make you violent. It makes you hard to kill. And for people who want to hurt you, that distinction is everything.

But what do I know — I am only a combat medic who has spent his entire adult life trying to keep people alive, a father of four daughters who sleep safely in their house, and a science teacher who believes the data matters more than the fundraising cycle.

@TomSteyer This type of rhetoric is deliberate. Saying “every ballot” instead of “every legal vote”. That’s the tell. The real issue is making sure we only count ballots cast lawfully by actual eligible American voters. Nothing more, nothing less. We the people deserve better!

[S. Shellito @sh3115]

How can anyone take these "hearings" seriously? Yelling "questions." Storming out before answers/responses are given. Referencing shoes! Really? It's comical, even more so because it happened.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

LOL.
