#2 Note: TW seems to be the pro at finding YouTube links to FoxNews items, and you may want to watch Hannity's actual interview with Lorenz or the vignettes of Lorenz that you've already seen if you've been following the story.

#3 I'm sorry. That's Taylor Lorenz, aka Fang-Fang.

#4 And finally, here's a link to the Rantburg article on Tuesday, but my comments got scrubbed at midnight on Wednesday, so I've included the comments below from what I've managed to save:

Political Violence Is Now Ingrained in American Youth

[The Ingraham Angle 4/14/25, the piece begins the program and lasts 13 minutes]

This time the Angle is about how political violence has become mainstreamed in American youth today.

Laura starts with a picture of Luigi Maglione, and an odd photo of an unidentified guy who killed someone.

A clip is played of Taylor Lorenz [has been a journalist for many left wing publications, like the Times, the Post, the Beast, and apparently Substack] She’s a 40 year old immunocompromised vegan who’s had many recent online harassment attacks including threats of death and violent rape, and has had her share of problems with stalkers and “swatters” as well.

By an act of the Lord, it seems, she has been engaged now for 10 years to Christopher Mims, an author and a technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal. (I wonder if this might be something like the Stalwell situation.) Laura continues with how Taylor has bragged about murderers, like those displayed on the screen, of how cool they are, including the CEO healthcare murderer. “Why he’s a famous handsome young revolutionary, smart, and the sort of guy that any girl would want to become involved with.” In a clip she laughs off the healthcare murder as “this is America, as if we don’t lionize murderers, as if we don’t give then Netflix shows,” and is glad that some journalists are now finally “standing up and speaking out about the anger that we all feel.”

Laura tosses in a clip [The Daily Show/Comedy Central 12/11/24] of a comedian who says that the recent google search for “conjugal visit” is now trending. Laura appreciates that we now know more about the guy who recently threatened Trump, rather than, for example Thomas Crooks. See:

The rest of the show follows in the same vein, including the Tesla attacks (one perpetrator is now a folk hero), the break-if of Governor Shapiro [PA]’s residence where the place was touched, and Trump comes in to suggest the perpetrator is just a whack job. I’m 7 minutes into the program I haven’t reviewed anything beyond this point but I don’t really care to and this is enough.

Fang Fang is the nickname of the Chinese intel woman who was dating US Representative Swalwell. Her actual name is Christine Fang.

Chicks dig bad boys.

#8 Finally, the Rantburg article cited in comment #4 had my comments on the 9/17/24 Rantburg article which have been scrubbed, and if anyone is interested in this, it would be great if some member of the club can put these in a comment, otherwise let me know and I can type them in from my hardcopy, but that will take over 20 minutes to reenter and proof.

#9 Chicks dig bad boys.

Dumb chicks, SteveS. We smart ladies vastly prefer a good man who can handle that nonsense if necessary.

Dear Fairbanks, you are ever gallant, and inspire my best efforts. (All the rest of you inspire my best efforts, too. Y’all are worth it)
