Lost too in all this is any sense of what really happened that Monday or why it happened.
Distraction reigns.
The last few days have been arguably the mother of all distractions when, as reported here at The Epoch Times and virtually everywhere, riots or protests (depending on how you see them) broke out in front and within the Tennessee State Assembly.
The rioters/protestors were largely high school students, bent on gun control, instigated, at least in part, by three members of the assembly, two of whom have now been expelled for their behavior.
Unfortunately for the local GOP and Republicans everywhere, the two expelled, deservedly or not, happened to be black, naturally providing a propaganda opportunity for our resident White House "civil rights activist" and ally of former Sen. Robert Byrd (D-N.C.) who once informed us "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."
Meanwhile, the tragic murders are being used inevitably as a battering ram for gun control that has never been shown to work and for red flag laws that can work, but not in the way intended.
Which brings me to the missing "manifesto."
In the immediate aftermath of the murders the police informed us the obviously emotionally disturbed shooter was transgendered, something that was ratified by the video of the killings at the Christian school showing the female-by-birth Audrey Hale dressed entirely like a macho terrorist.
Further, they told us she had left behind documents and a manifesto, explaining her actions.
Then, as if by magic, we heard no more of the word transgendered in any of its forms, from the media or anywhere, nor, almost simultaneously, anything of the manifesto, except that it had been handed to the FBI for review.
Regarding the media, it isn’t just CBS, widely known to have decreed the word "transgender" should be omitted in coverage of the crime but almost all of the MSM. NPR, recently labeled "state-affiliated" on Twitter, does not mention the word in its recent update on the crime, nor does it apply a pronoun of any sort—male, female, or "they"—when referring to the shooter. This must be a new form of asexual reporting.
As for the FBI, no word so far on when they will release the manifesto, in original or redacted form.

Patience,
It is not easy flipping the narrative from blaming the shooter and IT's Mental Illness, to blaming TRUMP, Christians and the Teachers. Besides, before the PC agenda safe edition can be released, certain people need to be "taken care of" to ensure what is released is not questioned.

Early word was that the hormone-enhanced girl despised both far left and far right, and the Christian school of her childhood was not her first-choice target. But one does wonder if Antifa was somewhere in her social circle.

I would have supported a policy of keeping people names, affiliations and manifestos out of the news, but the media’s determined effort to find a MAGA shooter pushed me into the other camp. The policy cant be selective.

#6 Wonder no longer TW. 2 recent examples that illustrate how our rulers perceive things show the score. Following the TN shooting we were treated to two photos by Dem pols - the Auntie-Tifa meme and then another wearing a shirt promoting defense of trans rights that featured a combat knife and a rose which is a classic Antifa reference a la Rose City Antifa.

EFFBEYE suppression of evidence that might be damaging to demokrat propaganda themes, utterly predictable now. If you get out of line, the DoJ Bureau of Justice Assistance may suddenly call with an audit question that might freeze your agency Byrne funds or BJA Grants. When they do, the Mayor or Sheriff will suddenly find silence really is "golden".
❗And they say that only in our province people go to a disco to fight! It's the same in Texas! Even the cop got involved! Won the cash prize for the best slam throw! As gamers say, knocked out for good loot!

Just a bit of clarification. Wasn't a cop. Was a private security company employee hired by the bar per the local media. Cops are trained in de-escalation. These guards are cc carriers and steroid junkies.
According to sources, Mulvaney, who recently became a spokesman for the alcoholic beverage, was personally recruited by CEO Phillip Bud while he was inebriated — now human resources need to know how this could have happened.

I was standing at the bar in an International Airport when this small Chinese guy comes in, stands next to me, and starts drinking a beer I asked him, “Do you know any of those martial arts things, like Kung-Fu, Karate, or Ju-Jitsu?”
He says “No, why the fuck would you ask me that? Is it because I am Chinese?”
“No”, I said, “It’s because you’re drinking my beer, you little fucker.”

Last three years have been bad but this year so far the worst. Three small businesses hacked with passwords changed. They were told 30 days just do cash transactions. One business up in four days. Individuals of all sorts hacked as well. Food stamps, $300 in bank gone. Answer your phone and question, is this so and so?. If you say yes they have your verbal OK recorded and you have been sold whatever.

If you pay no other attention to your personal cyber security, heed this: Don't do banking on your phone. Don't use your phone as a credit card substitute.

Nasrallah's the one who issued the orders. PIJ is the group shooting off the rockets. So far only Gaza and Damascus have taken the predictable consequences. Eventually Beirut's gonna take them. Nasrallah will continue living in his bunker.

Well we know it tells you want you want to know, leans left, falsifies data when necessary, and creates footnotes out of thin air to support its point. So basically AI is a politician.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
