(WND)—Long have leftists insisted that “thoughts and prayers” have no place in America when there is an eruption of evil, like this week in Minneapolis when a man calling himself a woman shot up a Catholic church, killing two students and injuring many more.
After that shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, multiple Democrats, progressives and others went public with their condemnation of prayer. A Minnesota bishop scolded the Minneapolis mayor for his comments, explaining that’s what is needed at such times.
But now an analysis at the Federalist, from executive editor Joy Pullman, notes that those Democrat talking points are a red flag.
“The New York Post published excerpts of the shooter’s journal posted on YouTube that include a drawing of him communing with a Satanic figure in a mirror. As I’ve written before, Satan-worshippers can be startlingly more direct than many Christians about the connections between their spiritual and political beliefs.
“This image is yet another striking testimony — from the dark side! — about the connections between queer ideology and the demonic. So are passages in the shooter’s journal that read as if they came straight out of the mouth of a demon: ‘I also love when kids get shot, I love to see kids get torn apart.’ Pictures of his arsenal show a gun magazine inscribed with the words: ‘Where is your God?'” she explained.
This is a striking example of what I talked about @AscensionMadiso last week on how Christ-haters are sometimes more honest about the culture war than Christians. It’s a spiritual war, and the demons know it. We should too. https://t.co/kbdkRSCyPN pic.twitter.com/IGLSrdusqd

Trans leftist accounts all over social media are celebrating the shooting and killing of children at the Minneapolis church by a trans gunman. They believe it is revenge against Christianity and the Trump administration for not allowing transitioning children, and defining sex as… https://t.co/owfZ3XCLD5

She continued, “According to reporter Andy Ngo, transgender ghouls are celebrating the attempted mass murder online. The quotes he provides read like a leftist fantasy about what a ‘fundamentalist Christian’ movie script would put in the mouths of trans activists: ‘MORE DEAD CHRISTIANS LOL.’ ‘Based. Take the fight to their kids so they can feel what it’s like to be attacked for your identity.’ ‘Future religious extremeists [sic] dying isn’t a bad thing.’ ‘Won’t someone please think of the poor innocent Christian transphobes that just want trans people dedd??'”
She cited Maxwell Alejandro Frost, a Democrat member of Congress from Florida, who posted, “These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your f—— thoughts and prayers.”
Frost later said on television, “We’ve had it with the thoughts and prayers for years, for decades,” prompting Pullman to note, “If you made a list of who hates prayers, Satan would be at the top of that list for sure. Prayer is perhaps the pre-eminent way to fight him. The less prayer, the less Satan is restrained. Now why would Democrats want that?”
Pulllman cited Frey’s trashing of “thoughts and prayers,” and noted, “The sentiments he’s communicating are the straightforwardly demonic, despairing lies that prayer does not work and that God is not listening and He doesn’t provide justice.”
Others said prayers don’t stop bullets and bashed Christians for referencing an “invisible sky-being.”
There is an answer to such “demonic screeches,” the analysis confirmed, revealing it’s: God was there with these children in their suffering, and He is with them now. God is not dead, He is alive, and so are all who have died in the faith, who with Christ will one day be resurrected. All martyrs have overcome Satan forever ‘by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.’ Death is not a moment of despair for a Christian, it is a moment of triumph and glory.”
She cited former Federalist colleague Emily Jashinsky, who wrote, “It’s really time to retire this cheap hit on people of faith, especially in cases where they’re actually the direct targets of an attack. Those little kids don’t believe the prayers they were saying today shield them from earthly tragedy or excuse them from doing good works.”
Pullman noted that her primary point was different:: “It’s to highlight the directly Satanic words coming out of the mouths of Democrat Party leaders and followers. There’s a truly shocking overlap between what Satan would say and what well-known political leftists are completely comfortable saying to hundreds of millions onscreen.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
Discern, why does nobody consider that it was God Who killed these children? People blame Satan, but he is but a servant as the Book of Job showed.
Now let’s explain some reasons why God would do this. Read: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/videos/why-sutherland-springs-full-version.htm
Boy are you delusional and have Noooooo idea who God truly is, your comment shows how ignorant you are.
Only satan would blame God for this. Go get help.

Interesting article. Only problem is there is no she involved as the author tried to slip in. Here is someone trying to come across as supporting the idea of thoughts and prayers and chastising the left for their condemnation. However the only reason we are having this conversation is because as a society we can’t seem to stop calling Boys girls just because that’s what they want us to do. You are guilty of it right here in this article. so my question is simple. which is it. You can’t be part of the problem feeding into the delusions and group think in this country while at the same time trying to virtue signal any Christian values. The words chosen just like in scripture is important.
‘Where is your God?’” she explained. NO. HE explained. let’s make sure we are clear on this.
Can you keep your cult things to yourself. God is not the author of evil. Back up your absurd claims with scripture. I actually went to your site. You almost have it. You are 100% wrong on losing salvation, it can’t happen. I’m not going to bother getting into a big debate but if you lost your salvation then you never had it.
Your off the farm with the nonsense that God would create evil. If you want to support that provide scripture not a link to something from man. It only takes a paragraph to state and prove the truth. The more you write the more you are trying to sell something that doesn’t add up. The truth is simple. Others can view your webpage and decide for themselves.
