America’s values are under attack. For years, many of us have felt it in subtle ways: policies that prioritize bureaucracy over freedom, rhetoric that pits neighbors against one another, and cultural trends that undermine faith and family.

But this latest incident in Oroville, California, is a stark reminder that these attacks aren’t always subtle. Sometimes, they’re heartbreakingly literal.

Last week, at Feather River Adventist School, two innocent kindergartners were targeted in an act of pure evil. Roman Mendez, just six years old, and Elias Wolford, a five-year-old, were critically wounded when a man walked onto their school grounds and opened fire.

If you’re hearing about this for the first time, I can’t say I blame you. The mainstream media has barely touched the story. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative they’re desperate to sell.

A Motive Rooted in Hatred

Let’s start with the facts, because they’re chilling enough to make anyone question where we’re headed as a society.

From The Daily Wire:
The shooter met with the principal at Feather River Adventist School in the early afternoon on Wednesday before opening fire and wounding two young boys before turning the gun on himself. The young victims were identified as 6-year-old Roman Mendez and 5-year-old Elias Wolford. Mendez was shot twice, resulting in internal injuries, and Wolford was shot once in the stomach, also resulting in internal injuries. Both boys remain in critical condition.

If that doesn’t make your blood boil, the shooter’s motives will. Authorities revealed that the man—who will not be named here out of respect for the victims—wrote about his intent to carry out “child executions” as retribution for what he described as “America’s involvement in Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians.” Think about that. A grown man, with a documented history of mental illness and a lengthy criminal record, walked onto a Christian school campus and attempted to execute children to make a political statement.

Where’s the outrage? Where are the media outlets rushing to cover this story? You’d think this would dominate headlines, but instead, it’s being quietly swept under the rug. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the tidy, politically convenient mold that the left-wing media loves to exploit.

A Pattern of Ignoring Christian Victims

This isn’t an isolated incident. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a growing trend of anti-Christian sentiment, both in cultural rhetoric and actual violence. But when Christians are targeted—whether it’s through IRS investigations, legal battles over religious liberty, or literal attacks like this—the story gets buried. Compare that to the wall-to-wall coverage when a crime can be spun to fit an anti-Second Amendment or anti-conservative agenda. The double standard is staggering.

The truth is, the Biden administration has been quick to lecture law-abiding gun owners while ignoring the root causes of violence. They love to grandstand about “common sense gun reform,” but they can’t be bothered to enforce the laws already on the books. And when their policies contribute to chaos—like defunding police departments or demonizing religious institutions—they’re nowhere to be found when it all goes wrong.

The Cost of Leadership Failure

President Biden campaigned on a promise to bring the country together and “end the epidemic of gun violence.” Instead, his administration has overseen rising crime rates, a weakened police force, and a Department of Justice more focused on targeting political enemies than actual criminals. What happened in Oroville is the tragic result of a system that prioritizes optics over outcomes.

Meanwhile, the media—Biden’s faithful ally—continues to turn a blind eye. They don’t want to cover stories like this because it highlights the failure of their preferred policies. It’s easier to villainize responsible gun owners than to address the real issues, like mental health crises or the toxic political rhetoric that fuels hatred.

A Call for Accountability

What happened in Oroville should serve as a wake-up call. This isn’t just about one deranged individual. It’s about a culture that’s lost its moral compass. It’s about leaders who are more interested in scoring political points than protecting innocent lives. And it’s about a media machine that picks and chooses which tragedies are worth covering based on how well they can be spun.

Trump’s presidency saw a focus on religious liberty and safety for faith-based communities, and it’s clear that focus is desperately needed again. Whether it’s ensuring schools are secure or addressing the mental health epidemic head-on, the solutions are there. But first, we need leaders willing to take action—and a media willing to tell the truth.

Key Takeaways:

• Tragic Shooting at Christian School: Two kindergartners remain in critical condition after being targeted by a man with a hateful political motive.
• Media Silence: The attack has received little coverage because it doesn’t align with the mainstream media’s political agenda.
• Policy Failures Exposed: Biden’s administration continues to prioritize optics over effective solutions to violence and anti-Christian sentiment.

We deserve leaders who will protect all Americans, not just the ones who fit a narrative. Until then, stories like this will continue to be buried, and innocent lives will continue to pay the price.
