Our country is a mess. I believe that because we have lost our way that that has led to a disintegration of our institutions that used to be run on justice, truth, and reason.
This country used to be built on three principles: God, family, country.
God, specifically the Judeo/Christian faith, was the moral fabric of this country. Our laws were based on it. Justice was defined by Judeo/Christian principles. And, yes, God did support the death penalty. God did believe in separate communities and they must protect and care themselves. God did believe in the authority of the government.
But God specified more than just justice. He declared that he was the authority over His creation. No authority was over Him. And He gave us free will. He gave us the freedom to execute our free will. No one has the right to take that away. Only He does. The Bill of Rights is based on those freedoms.
The family is important. Very important. A family is made up of a father, a mother, and children with extended family of grandparents and siblings. The family is the ultimate community. They are there to help and protect each other. There should be no one in the world that can be trusted more than the family.
But the parents have a greater purpose. They are to lead the children. They are to raise them with the religious education that will give them that moral base. They are to civilize the little savages. They are to teach them so they have all the tools needed to succeed in life. For the parent, children are the ultimate reason to be alive. For the children, the parents are the beacon for their success and contentment.
And, finally, country. Our country is the framework for it all. It has created the framework and pathways for God and family. A country’s government is only there for two things: protecting the country (an army) and solving inter-community conflict using the framework that was created. That’s it.
And we, the people, have the power to control the government. We elect our leaders based on our beliefs. We fire the people who don’t do what we want them to do. We also risk our lives to defend this country. Not for the government, but to protect and maintain the framework that will maintain our lives and the lives of our families.
The big problem with a country’s government is when it tries to replace God. Unfortunately, that’s been the problem with most governments in human history.
Our country was the exception. We were based on all the principles I just talked about. What happens when those principles that have made our country go away? When God, family, country irrelevant concepts? Well, we get the stories we are going to talk about today.
There Are Advantages of Being Black
So, He Didn’t Do It?
According to Andy NGO on X:
A Seattle man who shot and killed an eight-month pregnant Korean-American woman and nearly killed her husband when they were driving to work has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Cordell Goosby m—rdered Elina Kwon and her unborn baby in June 2023 when they were stopped at a red light. Prosecutors did not charge him for killing the baby due to concerns about protecting abortion in the liberal state.
After hearing testimony from defense medical experts that Goosby was “insane” at the time of the shootings, the prosecution agreed to have the case ended through the not guilty motion. Goosby will be committed to an institution and regularly evaluated to see if he is fit to be released to the public.

According to NBC News Chicago:
According to Perplexity:
What Happened
- In the early hours of a recent Thursday, Sheridan was walking with friends near Tobey Prinz Beach, close to Loyola’s campus, reportedly to get a view of the skyline and even the Northern Lights.
- A male suspect approached the group on foot, pulled out a gun, and opened fire; Sheridan was shot in the head and died at the scene, while no one else was physically injured.
- Her family emphasized that she was simply walking near her dorm in an area believed to be safe and that there was nothing reckless about her actions.
Investigation and Suspect
- Chicago police quickly identified and questioned a person of interest and later announced an arrest.
- Prosecutors have charged 25‑year‑old Jose Medina, a Venezuelan national living in the U.S. illegally, with first‑degree murder and related offenses in connection with the shooting.
- Officials say Medina entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, was released by immigration authorities, and had a prior shoplifting arrest in Chicago; DHS has now requested an immigration hold so he can be processed for deportation after the criminal case.
Family, Community, and Political Reaction
- Sheridan’s family has issued public statements calling her killing a “violent and preventable act” and urging anyone with information to help investigators.
- Memorial services are being planned in Yorktown, and both the Yorktown and Loyola communities have held vigils and called for stronger safety measures near campus.
- National and local political figures have pointed to her case in broader debates over immigration enforcement and public safety, including references to legislation like the Laken Riley Act.
Is there a particular aspect you want to know more about—her life, the legal case, or the political/immigration angle?
