11 Lessons From The Murder of Iryna Zarutska

It's up to you and me to seriously watch our six.

Apparently, a homeless black lunatic with multiple violent priors can stab and kill a pretty white Ukrainian young woman, and that ain’t newsworthy to The AP, PBS, NYT, NPR, WSJ, BBC, CNN, WAPO, MSLSD, or Reuters. At this writing, there have been scant mentions of this deadly, public attack via the aforementioned outlets.

Iryna Zarutska, who fled her war-torn country of Ukraine for a safe haven here in the US, was butchered on a train, August 22nd, by a lifelong felon with a rap sheet longer than Rosie O’Donnell’s McDonald’s receipt. Question: Would that be considered, by you, the wizards on The Left, a “hate crime?” It sure looked hateful to me. But what do I know? I’m just a po’ rube stuck in the flyover states.

Since places like Charlotte, where the bloody murder occurred, have leaders who are soft on crime and the criminally insane, it’s up to you and me to seriously watch our six. Here’s some practical advice for the ladies …

  1. Assess your situation. Meaning … judge people. If someone looks nuts, don’t sit by them, especially not in front of them. If a loon comes to sit by you, pick your stuff up and sit or stand somewhere else.
  2. If you’re “feeling” something is jacked-up about a person or a location you’re in, trust that feeling and adjust appropriately. Make sure your BS detector is highly attuned.
  3. Get off your phone when in sketchy situations. Don’t look down, look up.
  4. Also, when exercising outside, forgo listening to Taylor Swift and instead listen for jackasses in the bushes.
  5. Carry a gun. Master it first and then carry it everywhere. If some places “won’t let you carry there”, stop going to those places.
  6. If you don’t want to wield a firearm, at least get a Byrna. I hear that’s a great, non-lethal, little thumper. Google it.
  7. If able, travel with your femme fatale wolfpack of with-it chicks who take zero crap from anybody.
  8. Get an apocalyptic warlord boyfriend or husband who has no problemo whatsoever double-tapping someone who’d try to harm his loved ones.
  9. Learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Especially if you live in a crap-addled liberal city that’s soft on crime. And don’t just take a couple of classes. Master it. Both my daughters are black belts and are lifelong students.
  10. Cheer on Trump when he wants to deploy the National Guard to crime-laden liberal hellscapes.
  11. And lastly, always pray for divine protection from these demoniacs that The Left lets roam unfettered.

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection from the book of Psalms regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness.It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.

Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.

This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
