Today is Wednesday, August 27, 2025. The school year hasn’t even truly begun yet, and today, we have a shooting in Minneapolis that has left two children dead and nearly 20 other people injured, while the suspect is deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to local officials. This tragic story is reported in an online MSNBC article entitled “Two children dead, 17 injured in shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis,.” by Erum Salam.

The name of the school is the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis where two innocents, ages 8 and 10, were killed where they sat in the pews during Mass, police said. Seventeen others were injured – 14 of whom are children, including two who are in critical condition.

Late Wednesday afternoon, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, “All remaining victims are expected to survive.” But that report is little consolation to the families who lost their loved ones to perennial gun violence today.

The shooter was identified as a 23-year-old whose name I will not print here. It seems as if this troubled young man produced a manifesto and had posted videos online referencing suicide and “extremely violent thoughts and ideas,” according to law enforcement officials. These sources said the assailant left behind an apology to her family and a handwritten sketch of a church’s layout, thought it wasn’t apparent that the sketch was of the school she struck.

The Minneapolis police chief said at a news conference that the assailant wore black clothing and was armed with legally purchased weapons, including a rifle, shotgun, and pistol. She fired dozens of rounds through windows as she targeted her innocent victims for no apparent reason.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the attack “an act of evil,” and said he is “so deeply saddened, and I’m so sorry to the families I know who are suffering right now.”

Today’s shooting is the most recent of several notable violent incidents in the Minneapolis area this year. In June, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in what officials have described as a politically motivated attack at their home. This attack also resulted in the death of the couple’s golden retriever.

This latest assault on innocence by a gun-loving person who showed signs of mental duress (the shooter was identified as a trans woman, which will cause such an uproar in MAGA world that it will drown out any kind of empathy for the victims of this suicide-prone assailant) just highlights the urgent need to address bringing up an assault rifle ban in Congress. Of course, now that we have a dotard in the White House, this won’t happen when lawmakers come back after their none-too-deserved recess over the summer! It’s average Americans who need to press their legislators to pass sensible gun control legislation in the fall. And to give anyone running for office a litmus test on this subject.

Because of the serious nature of what happened today, I will suspend writing about my day. Who needs to hear my bullshit anyway?

All of these families have been impacted forever by this one evil incident! No one should expect to send their children to any school to be shot! No one! What is fucking wrong with this country? We just revel in gun violence and that’s a fucking, crying shame! There are more guns here than people. Ponder that raw fact, people!

It’s time to fucking do something about this!

Tomorrow I will not be writing my blog because I will be attending our artistic friend “Ralph’s” movie based on his satiric musical skewering the current occupant of the White House called Dictator for a Day which was turned down by Amazon Prime because of the fucking censorship going down in this country because of our sitting dictator. But I will not write where this event is happening for fear that some Dump law enforcement guy is keeping notes on this event because it criticizes the president to no end! We all know this guy has a sense of humor up his ass!

And so it went!
