Authorities at a news conference praised the two congregants who opened fire as part of a volunteer security team at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement.

It was unclear if the two people who were killed were the two who shot at the gunman.

‘This team responded quickly and within six seconds, the shooting was over. Two of the parishioners who were volunteers of the security force drew their weapons and took out the killer immediately, saving untold number of lives,’ said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who also hailed the state’s gun laws.

Britt Farmer, senior minister of the church, said, ‘We lost two great men today, but it could have been a lot worse.’

Authorities said there were more than 240 parishioners in the West Freeway Church at the time of the shooting.

Authorities have not released any details about what led to the shooting and officials have not released the names of the victims or the gunman.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Matthew DeSarno said they’re working to identify the gunman’s motive, adding that he is ‘relatively transient’ but had roots in the area.

DeSarno also said the gunman had been arrested multiple times in the past but declined to give details.

An elder at the church told the New York Times that one of those killed was a security guard who responded to the shooter, calling him a dear friend.

‘He was trying to do what he needed to do to protect the rest of us,’ said elder, Mike Tinius.

‘It’s extremely upsetting to see anyone committing violence,’ he added.

Tinius said he didn’t know the gunman and that the shooting appeared to be random.

A witness told CBS 11 that the armed man walked up to a server during the communion and opened fire.

‘You feel like your life is flashing before you. I was so worried about my little one,’ witness Isabel Arreola said.

Video of the livestream shows a person wearing a large coat, with the hood covering his head, standing up and walking over toward another man at the back of the room.

The shooter appears to say something to the man, prompting him to point in a direction at the back of the church.

In a matter of seconds, the shooter whips out what appears to be a shotgun and fires two rounds.

One of the shots hits a man who stood up in the back of the church and the other shot hits the man the victim had spoken to.

After the second shot was fired, the gunman attempted to flee the scene before he was shot by an armed member of the congregation.

Trusty said she was told by a supervisor at the scene that one of the people who died was the shooter. A third person in critical condition and is being treated at a hospital. All of the victims are male, she said. Authorities outside the church Sunday morning

According to one member of the church, the gunman had spoken to one of the deacons in the back of the church before he opened fire.

The member wrote on Facebook that another deacon ‘who is a concealed carry instruction, and retired law enforcement officer, shot the guy before he could fire a third time!’

That deacon has not been identified but according to CBS 11, he is actually a former FBI agent and part of the church’s security.

While the shots were being fired, people ducked under church pews and at least five others rushed towards the shooter with handguns.

A church leader then tries to calm people down, while members of the congregation scream, cry and run towards the exits.

In a statement, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said: ‘Our hearts go out to the victims and families of those killed in the evil act of violence that occurred at the West Freeway Church of Christ.

‘Places of worship are meant to be sacred and I am grateful for the church member who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life.’

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he was ‘shocked and saddened’ to hear about the shooting.

‘As reports come in, please pray for any victims and their families, this congregation, and the law enforcement officials at the scene. My office will assist in any way needed,’ he added.

White Settlement police have not responded to requests for comment. An investigation is ongoing.

It is not the first deadly shooting to take place at a church in Texas.

In November 2017, Devin Patrick Kelley opened fire on the congregation at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing more than two dozen worshippers, before taking his own life.

In the video, he referred to the article from Business Insider in which Republican National Committee spent almost $100,000 for book sales. However, like most far-left ideologues ideologues who can’t do math, Kulinski didn’t do the math nor research to claim his conclusion.

If RNC bought $100,000 of books at $30 a piece, it would mean that 3333 copies were bought by them. However, a report from CNN suggest that, “Triggered” sold 70,730 hardcover copies in its first week. The second book on The Times’ list that week, “Finding Chika,” sold 30,678 copies. Even if RNC purchased $100,000 of books at a 50% discount, it would have bought a little under 7,000 copies.

Kyle Kuliski is the same person who was surprised by the sight he had from a plane of an area of land. It turned out to be a view of farmland. Many people made fun of him suggesting that far-left socialists like him have no clue of the realities of life yet want to dictate everyone else on how to live their lives.

Tucker Carlson from Fox News reported,

“Before the contents of the whistleblower complaint were known publicly, a Democratic congressional staffer contacted the former American ambassador to Ukraine to discuss what the staffer described as ‘quite delicate and time sensitive questions,’”

“This show has obtained exclusively an email for that Democratic staffer for the House Foreign Affairs Committee sent by private email to the former American ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Yovanovitch, you know, is a key player in the Democrats’ impeachment probe and was recalled from her post in Ukraine by President Trump in May 2019 following allegations of serious partisanship and political bias.”

After the president on Thursday declared that he would not sign the bill if it did not include border security funding, the house started a started a new effort to push for the $5.7 billion wall funding. President Trump also had threatened to veto any legislation that is pushed without border security.

The bill also includes $7.8 billion in disaster relief funding. The House Freedom Caucus released a statement on Thursday saying that the Senate must now pass the funding. The Freedom Caucus also urged the president to fight for border security funding on Wednesday night. The chairman of the Freedom Caucus Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that House conservatives will back him if he vetoes any legislation that comes without border security.

Republicans in Congress have continually told the American people that we would fight for wall funding, and today the House of Representatives took its first step toward fulfilling that promise. The Senate must follow our lead. It’s time we do what we said and work with President Trump and the American people to secure our borders.

After the bill passed, Ann Coulter posted a series of tweets saying that the bill with the promises about “border security” isn’t the same as the bill about the “border wall”.

The chant wasn’t “SIGN A BILL WITH B.S. PROMISES ABOUT ‘BORDER SECURITY’ AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, GUARANTEED TO FAIL!”

It was “BUILD A WALL!”

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) December 20, 2018

“Money for border security” = drones (so we can watch illegals pour in), more border patrol (to arrest, then release the illegals pouring in), money for the ACLU (to assist illegals breaking in). Only a wall will work.

Pinterest removed the official InfoWars board after “multiple people alerted the company to policy violations”. Spotify removed his podcasts claiming that his podcasts are a violation of “hateful content”. Stitcher has strongly claimed that Alex Jones has “harassed or allowed harassment of private individuals and organizations”.

None of the companies are however clear on what the specific instance is that led them to terminate his account.

The fact that it is extremely DANGEROUS to see the Social Media Giants colluding to shut down different political viewpoints can’t be ignored.Most suggest that it is because of his views on 2012 Sandy Hook, which Alex Jones has retracted long ago and apologized.

Leftists also claim that Alex Jones’ retraction is unaccepted. However, MSM does that all the time.

On July 26, Forbes published a fake article stating “Jones pushed a child to the ground”. Forbes changed the sentence on their slanderous article after realizing that the person pushing the child wasn’t Alex Jones.

But whether you like Alex Jones or not, the biases and immorally shutting down right-wing opinions by the mainstream left-wing giants controlling 90% of the social media outlets are something to be fearful of.

Just a day before his meeting with European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker, Trump made clear that the ultimate goal for a free and fair society is free trade.

The European Union is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a deal on Trade. I have an idea for them. Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be called Free Market and Fair Trade! Hope they do it, we are ready – but they won’t!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2018

After Trump slapped tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from several U.S allies including the EU, the EU in response retaliated by implementing tariffs on several American products that includes blue jeans, whiskey and motorcycles.

Trump then threatened to impose a whooping 20 percent tariff on all European automobile imports. The EU rightfully has warned that it would “be harmful first and foremost for the US economy” as the US citizens would be the ones to ultimately pay higher prices for the products.

Earlier this month, Trump also called the EU “a foe” during an interview for its trade policies against the United States. Trump also made a sarcastic statement saying “Tariffs are the greatest!” in response to the ones the EU has been imposing on the United States.

Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with Tariffs. It’s as simple as that – and everybody’s talking! Remember, we are the “piggy bank” that’s being robbed. All will be Great!

The facilities are believed to have been disassembled at launchpad. According to the satellite imagery from July 20th, the rail-mounted processing/transfer structure has been moved to the middle of the pad, exposing the underground rail transfer point—one of the few times it has been seen in this location.

An image from two days later shows the continued presence of the crane and vehicles. Considerable progress has been made in dismantling the rail-mounted processing/transfer structure. One corner has been completely dismantled and the parts can be seen lying on the ground. In both images the two fuel/oxidizer bunkers, main processing building and gantry tower remain untouched.

The North Koreans have also reportedly started to disassemble a vertical engine test stand. 38 North adds:

The rail-mounted environmental shelter—which hadn’t been moved since December 2017—has been razed and removed, the older fuel/oxidizer bunkers are in the process of being razed, and portions of the test stand’s upper steel framework have been dismantled and its paneling removed.

President Trump also made a tweet about this situation saying, “A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months,” Trump tweeted. “Likewise, no Nuclear Tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy. But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy!”

The government of Iran also tried to ridicule President Trump saying that Trump couldn’t do a “Damn thing”.

But the most outlandish of the tweets came from Parkland activist David Hogg. He copy pasted most of President Trump’s Tweet and tweaked the latter part of his tweet to threaten the president himself saying that the president himself would face consequences if he threatened the United States.
