Ife’s Greatest Joys Are Not in the Pursuit of Things or Pleasure or Travel

… I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Who is Cole Allen

Fox News

According to his LinkedIn profile and online records, Allen’s life and career trace an accomplished path as a computer scientist, engineer and independent game developer, even building a shooter role-playing game called "First Law."

In September 2013, according to his online profile, he enrolled in the highly competitive California Institute of Technology, known as CalTech, to pursue a BS in mechanical engineering, graduating in 2017. CalTech confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student named Cole Allen graduated from the school in 2017.

Fox News Digital unearthed a 2017 video showing him as a quiet Caltech engineering student presenting an invention for seniors in Los Angeles.

At the “Aging into the Future” conference, he demonstrated a wheelchair brake prototype — built with simple piping used for plumbing.

Kneeling beside a wheelchair, speaking in a flat, affectless tone, he explained:

“The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels but don’t actually lock the chair to the ground… The deal with this is to prevent it from moving at all.”

The device itself?

Not sophisticated — a basic pipe-based contraption that experts say didn’t reflect advanced mechanical engineering for a Caltech senior.

His future, on paper, looked stable.

In the summer of 2014, he wrote that he landed another competitive spot as a summer undergraduate research student fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he said he contributed to astrophysics research.

That summer, his profile says, he created "First Law," a physics-based role-playing shooter game based on realistic two-dimensional space combat. At CalTech, he also built offensive and defensive robotic systems, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He later made "Bohrdom," a complex 2-D physics-based video game that he described as a "combination of a racing game with a bullet hell as experienced by self-propelled pinballs," released on the popular Steam gaming platform, according to his profile.

Beginning in March 2020, his LinkedIn profile says, he joined C2 Education, a tutoring company, enrolling at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2022 to pursue an MS in computer science, graduating in May 2025. That school also confirmed that a person by the same name graduated with a master’s degree that year.

A Dec. 30, 2024 Facebook post from C2 Education congratulated "Cole Allen of C2 Education Torrence on being honored as December teacher of the month." A photo matching that of Allen was attached to the post.

According to Federal Election Commission records, Allen donated $25 to Kamala Harris during the 2024 election cycle.

Investigators say Allen had drifted further into anti-Trump extremism, attending a "No Kings” protest organized by Indivisible, MoveOn, People's Forum, ANSWER Coalition, Party for Socialism and Liberation and 500 groups with about $3 BILLION in revenues.

A portrait emerges of a man radicalized.

Cole Allen said in his manifesto: "...I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

Those words are very familiar to me. I have seen them shouted at No Kings rallies over the past year.

See their graphic designs that the anti-Trump nonprofits began in 2016, continuing through today, even selling this on T-shirts:

"Traitor'
"Rapist"
"Unfit"
"Moron"
"Pedophile"

Now charged in a federal case, Allen’s trajectory raises a chilling question: How does someone go from a quiet engineering student focused on helping seniors to an accused gunman with a manifesto outlining violence?

The answers lie in the rhetoric of a manifesto that parrots the rhetoric of nonprofits manifesting in a young man the very hate they have been bringing to life on the streets.

… be commended for their swift action to secure the scene and protect those present.

As someone whose family has suffered political violence, my prayers are with the injured officer and all those affected by the trauma of these horrible incidents.

… environment. At some point, the people shaping the narrative need to acknowledge the consequences of the climate they helped create.

The View

On Thursday, ABC’s The View claimed Trump was literally trying to kill everyone. On Saturday, someone tried to him and administration officials at the WHCD.

… climate change that would alleviate the problem. And we can see it everywhere that the Earth is in a lot of trouble.

But here you've got a guy who is in charge of our health, who is a former heroin addict, a—he swam in sewage. Who does that?! Who does that?! And that snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat. This is who is in charge of your health, America. Do not put up with this! We're in a lot of trouble! Don't we—don't people see that?!

… Nazis, eventually enough people will believe it. Then saying, “Political violence is political cowardice. It is unacceptable in all forms,” is cowardice given the words shouted from your very own mouth.
