NYT: "We May Never Know the Motive"

The New York Times said following the shooting in Washington DC Saturday that "We may never know the motive" of the shooter. 

The Times may never know, or admit the motives, but a whole lot of journalists and other interested parties are beginning to figure out the "motive." And it's becoming pretty clear to the ordinary people across the fruited plains.

By now, you probably know that Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, tried to attack the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. He was reportedly a hotel guest. He was armed with multiple firearms and knives and sprinted past security checkpoints outside the ballroom.

If the hotel name sounds familiar, it's because President Reagan was shot while leaving the same Washington Hilton Hotel (now often called the Hilton Washington) on March 30, 1981, during an assassination attempt as he was leaving the hotel.

"We may never know the motive?" The New York Times must be kidding. Or greatly underestimating the people of this country. Or simply trying to mislead.

Here's what we know as of Sunday night.

Babies For Sale

Yesterday, Josh Wood wrote for The Federalist, "Two posts went viral this past weekend. The first shows gay country music singer-songwriter Shane McAnally holding his infant son, who is calling for his mother while his male partner films the encounter. The singer looks down at the boy and tells him, directly, that he doesn’t have a 'mama.' Both men begin laughing as the baby cries."

Should babies be for sale?

Trump & Christian Leaders Convening for Prayer and Praise Event

Political heads, faith leaders, and media voices are set to speak during the nation’s gathering of prayer and worship at the National Mall in celebration of the 250th  anniversary of the United States. 

The celebration, "Rededicate 250," presented by Freedom 250, begins the morning of Sunday, May 17, with a fellowship in front of the U.S. Capitol and ends with an evening of music and Christian testimony on the Capitol’s 12th Street, according to a Wednesday statement.

PBS Reluctantly Reports that Trump Will Read the Bible

Yesterday afternoon, PBS sort of reluctantly reported that President Trump would participate in the reading of God's Word this week, along with other leaders in our country.

PBS begins: "President Donald Trump and many of his leading Christian supporters and top Republicans are taking part this week in a marathon reading of the Bible in an America 250-themed event billed as encouraging a 'return to the spiritual foundation that has shaped our country'."

You can easily tell PBS doesn't necessarily connect with the believing Bible readers, which reveals why this event is so important and necessary at this time in our nation.

Seattle Young Adults Saying "I Don't" to Marriage

In earlier decades, when there was nothing unusual about high school sweethearts getting married, young newlyweds were common. In 1960, half of the people ages 18 to 25 in the Seattle metro area were married.

Today, it’s almost rare.

The latest census data, averaged from 2020 to 2024, shows about 35,000 18- to 25-year-olds in the Seattle metro area were married — roughly 9% of the 390,000 people in that age group.

The Seattle metro area includes King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.

What's going on with marriage?
