Murder By Any Other Name is Still Murder

By Rich Kozlovich

Mike McDaniel is one of the writers at American Thinker and he posted this piece,  The inconvenient nature of men and women, asking:  Who ultimately protects our rights and society?

He went on to discuss the absurd idea we must "believe all women" involving the "Jane Doe" rape charge of the Cornell Seven, and Letitia James' Soviet style form of justice of choosing the man and then finding the crime.   

Feminists demand that women be treated the same as men.... they really don't mean that!   Men who do the heavy lifting because men are designed to do the heavy lifting, and no matter what leftists claim, men are men and women are women and they really are different because they're physically and mentally structured differently   Women are wired differently than men, and entirely too many women's wiring has become corrupted with the plague of feminism. 

Women attempting to make the murder of the innocent unborn rational shout, "My body, My Choice", and that's become an issue with the Lindsay Clancy trial and the female "Cult of Collaboration" who are supporting her "right" to murder her children, and she's not alone.  

 

This was the slippery slope everyone warned about if we agreed to the vile and disgusting idea murdering the innocent unborn.  It's morphed into the idea it's acceptable to the murder of the innocent already born.

We now have a double standard for women who murder and claim temporary insanity to justify every kind of abuse there is .  One Hollywood nitwit even had the audacity to claim the Lindsay Clancy trial is a sexist "Salem" witch hunt.  A witch hunt?  She murdered her three children! 

For the most part I agree with the concept of my body, my choice.  They can choose not to have promiscuous and unprotected sex, and they can choose not to get pregnant. But the unborn baby isn’t their body.  It’s outrageous they have the choice to murder their babies for convenience. 

From accepting the murder of the innocent unborn to murder at any age is the natural progression of this vile corruption of moral truths, and epitomizes the evil that’s taken hold in the minds of millions of corrupt selfish people. As I watch the younger generations I’m not optimistic about the future.

I don’t argue with leftists in my life because there aren’t any. The beauty of being old, retired, and financially secure is you don’t need to go anywhere, you don’t have a job that forces you to deal with nitwits, and you don’t have to let anyone be a part of your life that irritates you and aggressively spews out nonsense…loudly!

As for American men looking for foreign women to marry…. I think we’re going to see far more of that than ever in the past.  An awful lot of American women are suffering from the feminist plague, and have lost their minds.   One writer said before dating anyone they need to ask them if they thought Lindsay Clancy was guilty, and let her answer be their guide.   There is one upside to this however. A lot of the women who support Clancy never saw man who wasn’t terribly flawed and unworthy, and will never marry or have children.

Thankfully.

This Should Break Your Heart!

By Rich Kozlovich

I came across this story a few days ago, and it was heartbreaking, and as it unfolds it becomes even more heartbreaking, where  a seven year old boy was tortured to death by his mother and her two transgender live in partners, and this article demands the end to polite silence.  He says that because he finds it strange how "reporters are extraordinarily careful about how they describe the adults accused of brutalizing him."

 

Last week, Cincinnati police entered an apartment and found 7-year-old William Evans dead in a closet and bound with duct tape. Prosecutors and the coroner say he had endured more than two months of abuse, including burns, blunt-force injuries, “bruises too numerous to count” and long stretches held underwater.

The mother's two accomplices are men, and jail records confirm it. 

Yet much of the news coverage incorrectly called them female, likely because the men were masquerading as women. To complicate it further, news reporting (make sure to follow the link) shows the boy’s biological father also claims to be a woman. Like the other men in William’s life, he wants to be called “she,” and we can expect some news outlets to indulge him."...."That contrast matters. Several of the men in William’s life falsely presented themselves as women, and the press has largely adopted those descriptions. The question is bigger than pronouns: What happens when a society trains people to be afraid to say what they know to be true?

The author goes on to say:

Such misbegotten courtesy sits at the center of everything that follows. A developmentally disabled 7-year-old spent his last two months in a closet in a household infused with a delusion as to who the grown-ups were. In that web of cruel confusion, he breathed his last.

William did not die without warning signs. He was trapped in a sick, dangerous situation that read like an entire flag store of red flags. Because of his developmental disability, William could not reliably tell anyone what was being done to him. But one call to child protective services, one visit that put an investigator inside that apartment, would have exposed the madness of what was happening and saved his life.

If anyone can read that and not have their hearts broken then they have no heart.  Unfortunately, leftist/atheist ideology has destroyed the natural affection that should exist between parents and their children.  If you can accept abortion as health care, you can accept any degradation of thought and action promoted by these Satanic hordes of the left. 

All I can think about is the pain, the tears, the agony, the fright, the eyes pleading for mercy, and ultimately the death of this poor seven year old child.  And yes, they deserve the death penalty, including the father.  

 

It's Time for Nidal Hasan to Die

He killed 13 and wounded 39 more at Fort Hood in 2009

By Susan Daniels, Oct 04, 2025 @ Susan's Newsletter

Sixteen years ago, former Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan entered Fort Hood’s processing center and fired upon the unarmed personnel. He killed thirteen and wounded thirty-nine more who were waiting for deployment.

According to HOT AiR:

 ...”The shooting began about 1:30 Central Time at Hood’s Soldier Family Readiness Center where (Lt. Gen. Robert W.) Cone said soldiers from multiple units were crowded into the center for a scheduled weekly ‘make up time’ for medical and dental appointments.

“Casualties were high due to the enclosed location, but would have been much worse were it not for the training and quick reaction of the soldiers, Cone said, adding that he was on the scene quickly after the shooting began.

“‘Suffice it to say…the American soldier did a great job,’ he said.

“From the reports of eyewitnesses, he said, the soldiers – ‘many of them combat lifesavers’ -- reacted instantaneously, ripping off parts of their own clothing to treat the wounded.

“‘I credit the first responders,’ he said. ‘God bless these soldiers and Department of Army civilians. As horrible as this was, it could have been much worse.

“The suspect is believed to have used two handguns in the shooting, one a semiautomatic, Cone said. And in responding to a question, “As a matter of practice, we do not carry weapons on Fort Hood,” he said. ‘This is our home.’

“The only saving grace was that Hasan had attacked a room full of combat veterans getting ready to head back out.

“Once the initial shock of the attack passed, battle-tested Army members swung into action, either in concert against their attacker or to immediately attend to offering life-saving aid to wounded comrades.”

Hasan continued firing when he left the building until he was shot twice by civilian police Sergeant Mark Todd, who, after he arrived, exchanged fire with Hasan. Hasan was shouting “Allahu Akbar” before he began shooting. He told a mental health panel “that the shooting was justified because the victims were going against the Islamic Empire.”  Hasan had been in contact by email with American-born, Yemeni-based radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

“Imam Anwar al-Awlaki (was) notable for being President Obama’s first drone strike assassination of a US citizen - and (Hasan’s) military colleagues had been concerned and warned of his increasing radicalization for several years preceding the murders.”

“President Obama…authorized the capture or killing of Anwar al-Awlaki on the basis that he posed an imminent threat to the United States. He was killed in an American drone strike in Yemen in September 2011 along with an American acolyte, Samir Khan, with whom he had published the slick English-language Al Qaeda magazine Inspire.”

Al-Awaki apparently influenced the unstable Army psychiatrist who had attended a mosque in Virginia where al-Awaki had preached. Despite the terrorist link, then president and fellow muslim traveler, Barack Hussein Obama, declared the shootings “workplace violence.” That designation prevented the families of the dead and injured from collecting government benefits.

That continued from 2011 to 2015 when Congress changed the designation, and the families were awarded a Purple Heart and benefits.

From the Daily Caller: 

“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is seeking the permission of President Trump to execute Muslim Jihadi, Nidal Hasan, via the death penalty, which was his sentence back in 2013 after massacring 13 and wounding 32 at Fort Hood. (Hasan’s final appeal expired in April 2025.)

“The execution, if approved by Trump, would be the first carried out by the military since 1961. Hasan, a former Army Major and psychiatrist turned radical Islamic terrorist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during his notorious rampage on the Army base in 2009.”

While researching this article, the following information was discovered. USAID reported bankrolled al Qaeda terrorist’s college tuition.

 

Luigi’s Leftists Cheer As Judge Throws Out Terror Charges

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

A mob of leftists wearing green ‘Luigi’ caps and waving banners about ‘fascism’ celebrated, danced and hugged each other on a Manhattan street after terrorism and first-degree murder charges were thrown out against the leftist killer of a health care CEO.

Judge Gregory Carro argued that Luigi Mangione was wrongly being charged as a terrorist since the radical terrorist’s objective “was not to threaten, intimidate or coerce, but rather to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry.”

Luigi’s means of drawing “attention” was murder which is the definition of terrorism.

The dozens of leftists crowding the narrow sidewalk outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse less than a dozen blocks from Ground Zero testified to the fact that Luigi Mangione was a political terrorist, part of a radical movement, killing on behalf of a larger cause. Why else was a mob wearing ‘Free Luigi’ t-shirts and caps associated with a Nintendo video game character hanging around an unappealing stretch of Center Street that not even a feeble attempt to stick a mostly unused park between the courthouses and government buildings could make livable.

It also brought home the ongoing leftist support for the “assassination culture” highlighted by Charlie Kirk before his murder and by the leftists cheering his killing across social media.

Luigi’s leftists had gathered early Tuesday morning, bringing sleeping bags, along with books about Communism and “Mansplaining’, and bottled water and Gatorade brought from nearby businesses in Chinatown run by elderly men and women who had fled Communist China.

Many had a good deal in common with Luigi Mangione: a rich kid turned radical. After all, no one who works for a living could just take Tuesday off and hang around Lower Manhattan.

Above all else, they wore their green ‘L’ caps like berets from a 60s militant organization. The reference to the Mario Bros video game cartoon character named ‘Luigi’ was typical of the hipster meme pop culture that the woke left, the woke right and Charlie Kirk’s killer had been marinated in. What had been pop culture irony for Gen X is tongue in cheek terrorism for Gen Z radicals who use pop culture references and memes to make murder and hate seem playful.

Gen X had used pop culture to tweak real world concerns while Gen Z radicals borrow pop culture to make their horrible politics seem cute, dressing up Communism and Nazism in cartoons, in Mario and Luigi, or in anime characters, for overgrown malicious children dreaming of a world in which WWII or the Cold War had gone very differently.

“Justice will prevail,” a skull and crossbones sign brandished by one man read. “Whoever wins this war becomes justice.”

In Manhattan, that had already happened. And that meant justice would not be done.

By the time Judge Carro threw out first degree murder charges against Luigi, the crowd had moved on to another of the micro-parks usually occupied by Chinese senior citizens playing board games on stone tables or court workers grabbing some Mexican food, where they clapped and awkwardly danced, but mostly taped each other, immediately uploading the spectacle they were creating to social media so they could take credit for it all.

But Luigi’s fan club had nothing to do with it.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a pro-crime prosecutor so radical that even Soros associates emailed me to disavow him, who came into office and in his Day One memo had ordered prosecutors not to pursue prison sentences for many crimes including armed robberies and told them not to ask for life sentences, had botched an easy case from the beginning.

Whether deliberately or through DEI incompetence, no one knows.

Judge Carro had previously given a pass to Mary Saunders, a woman who took part in her family’s murder of an Afghan war vet, and let her off with time served, and gave only 15 years to a transgender man who murdered a mailman at a deli after claiming that the man had misgendered him. Carro justified the light sentence for the transgender murderer who had previous offenses because “proving someone’s intent to kill is always difficult”.

Generally stabbing someone in the chest and neck indicates an “intent to kill”, but not to Judge Carro. And killing a member of a group as part of a political cause is generally terrorism.

But, once again, not to Judge Carro.

There was no evidence that Luigi Mangione had intended to “intimidate and coerce a civilian population” while murdering a civilian or that he had “made any demands of government or sought any particular government policy change, let alone that he did so by intimidation or coercion,” Judge Carro falsely claimed even as outside a mob was doing just that.

Luigi Mangione even wrote that the purpose of the murder was to “win public support”.

“There is no indication in the statute that a murder committed for ideological reasons (in this case, the defendant’s apparent desire to draw attention to what he perceived as inequities or greed within the American health care system), fits within the definition of terrorism,” the judge argued.

If murdering people for ideological reasons isn’t terrorism, what is?

The judge dismissed Luigi Mangione’s own stated “revolutionary anarchism” as insufficient evidence that he intended to “influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion” and then argued that CEO Brian Thompson and the 400,000 employees of United Healthcare could not “constitute a ‘civilian population'”.

If trying to intimidate 400,000 civilians isn’t terrorism, again, what is?

While Judge Carro may not have been wearing a green ‘L’ cap, his argument is suspiciously similar to the rougher one being made by the ‘Free Luigi’ mob outside.

Rather than following the law, Carro chose to read the most sympathetic interpretation into Luigi’s writings. “The defendant’s apparent objective, as stated in his writings, was not to threaten, intimidate, or coerce, but rather, to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry,” the judgewheedled. “The defendant emphasized that he wished to spread a ‘message’ and ‘win public support’ about ‘every.thing wrong with our health system.'”

And, most significantly to the judge, the terrorist didn’t believe he was a terrorist.

Judge Carro argues that “the defendant explicitly contrasted himself with Ted Kaczynski, the ‘Unabomber,’ because he ‘indiscriminately mail bomb[ed] innocents,’ and ‘cross[ed] the line … to terrorist, the worst thing a person can be.'”

The judge admits that a “defendant’s own characterization of his conduct is of course not dispositive,” but apparently dispositive enough to ignore his actual crime, his writings about the crime and the mob of leftist supporters outside, and drop first-degree murder charges.

Under second degree murder charges, Luigi Mangione will be eligible for parole.

Federal charges will likely preclude him ever seeing daylight again, but it’s hard to say.

What is more apparent is that the radicals in their green ‘L’ caps were only the tip of an iceberg when it came to support for the leftist assassin within the leftist political system. New York’s truly powerful leftists didn’t put on costumes or wave signs, they just abused the system to aid Luigi.

Anti-Israel Activists Cheer D.C. Murder of Israeli Couple

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Elias Rodriguez opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing two, a soon to be engaged Israeli couple, and wounded two others, but few media outlets reported his political orientation and his background. Or the outpouring of support from the anti-Israel Left.

In 2023, stickers reading “Exterminate Zionists” and the name of the Party for Socialism and Liberation appeared at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Rodriguez had been a member of the affiliated University of Illinois at Chicago and had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. According to Rodriguez’s manifesto, he became radicalized 11 years ago and was convinced that killing Israelis, Americans and Jews was the right thing to do. That was the same year that he was being quoted as taking part in protest rallies and speaking on behalf of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

PSL claims that Elias Rodriguez only had a “brief association” with the Communist group, but even according to their timeline, the terrorist was with the organization for at least 3 years.

And likely more.

Rather than disavowing him, members of the pro-terrorist movement cheered his crimes.

Palestine Action US, which currently uses the Jihadist name ‘Unity of Fields’, distributed an illustrated version of the D.C. killer’s manifesto under his headline of “Escalate for Gaza”. It described the murder of an Israeli couple attending an event at a Jewish museum as “the rightful execution of the two nazi pigs” and hailed “the resistance that Elias will inspire.“

Rep. Rashida Tlaib had previously held an anti-Israel event featuring Palestine Action US, the Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Jewish Voice for Peace and the Islamist group EMGAGE.

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition declared correctly that “what Elias Rodriguez did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism” and “we need more Elias Rodriguez in this world.” Its rallies have featured banners with pictures of Islamic terrorist leaders and calls for joining Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’.

PSL tried to deny its link to the murderer, but did not condemn it. Rodriguez was simply implementing the PSL’s enthusiastic support for the mass murder of Jews, and the Communist terrorist switched from cheering the attacks from the sidelines to actually engaging in them.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a Communist party with Trotskyist roots. Its most publicly visible face are the anti-war ANSWER coalition protests after 9/11. After Oct 7, PSL focused heavily on anti-Israel rallies. At a rally after the Hamas Oct 7 attacks, a PSL speaker celebrated that Hamas had “liberated an area that is actually larger than the Gaza Strip.”

He joked about the Nova festival massacre that “there was sort of rave or desert party where they were having a great time, until the resistance came in electrified hang-gliders.”

Participants gleefully chanted “700” in reference to the then reported number of Israeli victims.

One of Rodriguez’s reposts was titled, “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hamas.”

He also reposted speeches by former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah along with Iranian slogans such as “De@th 2 Amerikkka” and “Death to Israel”.

PSL’s official response on Oct 7 described the Hamas atrocities as “a counter-offensive by Palestinian resistance forces” and argued that the “actions of the resistance over the course of the last day is a morally and legally legitimate response.” And it declared that, “resistance to apartheid and fascist-type oppression is not a crime!”

Rodriguez’s manifesto was titled “Escalate for Gaza. Bring the war home.” That’s been the premise of the pro-terrorist rallies, including by his old organization.

While PSL may seem obscure to most Americans, its presidential candidate appeared on the ballots of 7 states, including California, New York and Florida, Its presidential candidate Claudia De La Cruz however works for an organization funded by a Maoist millionaire operating out of Communist China which has been accused of acting as a front of the regime.

Like PSL, the People’s Forum described Oct 7, as an “unprecedented liberation struggle” by “Palestinian resistance factions”.

“We give our heart, we give our life, we give our blood to the Palestinian people,” Manolo De Los Santos, a founding director of The People’s Forum declared at a pro-terrorist rally in Manhattan. “We will use whatever we have in our hands. A rock or something else. We will defend the Palestinian people.”

The anti-Israel Left is rapidly rationalizing and even celebrating the murder of an Israeli couple because that is what they intended all along. They were never going to draw the line at blocking highways while glorifying Hamas. The goal was to get useful idiots like Elias to carry out attacks.

Why did a Latino man travel across the country to murder the couple? Because he had been indoctrinated into believing that it was the right thing to do by a network of terrorist groups pretending to be “pro-palestinian” or concerned about “human rights”, when what they actually wanted was a pretext for street and then terrorist violence and finally a revolutionary takeover.

While America has seen numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, the rate of individual Communist attacks has declined. The red-green alliance between leftists and Islamists is partly a means of revitalizing the terrorist capabilities of the Left. That’s why they’re celebrating Rodriguez’s murders because they’re not an outlier, the murders are where they want America to go.

Remembering the 14,000 People Killed by BLM

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog 

In 2019, the FBI recorded less than 17,000 homicides. After George Floyd died of a drug overdose while violently resisting arrest, we would not see numbers like that again.

4,870 more people were murdered in 2020. Those excess deaths meant that Floyd and BLM killed nearly as many people that year as AIDS. And those nearly 5,000 deaths were part of a total of nearly 14,000 more excess homicides in the FBI crime database since then. (And those numbers are still incomplete because of reporting changes made by the FBI.)

The anniversary of Floyd’s overdose death on May 25th, 2020 led to an outpouring of political

commemorations of his death and musings about the need for yet more ‘racial justice’, none of which accounted for the 2,000 more black people killed in 2020 than in 2019.

The Floyd reckoning killed more black people than Hurricane Katrina did. The real legacy of the BLM race riots were 2,000 dead black people. The real legacy of the fists and kneelings were entire cemeteries filled with dead black bodies over the course of only one single year.

And coffins being placed in cemeteries across the country, planted there by the ‘reckoning’.

More Americans died in the BLM wars than were killed in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. Or at Pearl Harbor. To find a conflict that was more lethal to Americans, you would have to go back to Vietnam. Far more were killed by the BLM crime wave than perished in Hurricane Katrina, not to mention Sandy, Harvey, Maria, Ike and the California wildfires.

George Floyd’s death was the single deadliest non-drug or disease event of any war or natural disaster in the United States in the last 40 years.

The 14,000 dead, many of them black, are Floyd’s true legacy. Those 14,000 did not tour the nation in golden coffins. There were no multi-million dollar payments to their families. Members of Congress in cheerfully colored outfits did not kneel by their gravesides. Most simply disappeared and became footnotes.

In Floyd’s hometown of Minneapolis, 48 people were murdered in 2019. In the Year of Floyd that shot up to 82, then 94 in 2021, 82 in 2022, 70 in 2023, and 76 in 2024. That adds up to 164 more people murdered in the years since Floyd’s drug overdose. Shootings in Minneapolis increased 105% and the number of gunshot victims nearly doubled in 2020.

Five years later, Minneapolis politicians remember that one accidental death, not the 164 murders that they were complicit in while they promoted a ‘reckoning’ on racial justice.

Murders once again went up in Minneapolis last year even as politicians hail a safer city.

A cottage industry of pro-crime groups has spent the last 5 years denying that there’s a crime wave. The media will periodically run stories accusing the public of falsely believing that crime is a problem even as people are randomly slashed on the New York City subway and dozens of victims die in weekend shootings. The Biden administration tainted the FBI’s data collection so that it can no longer be trusted past a certain point, and yet the bodies do not go away.

The public expresses concern about crime in poll after poll. Voters came out for Trump in 2024 in part because of their worries about crime. The only counter-argument by a party that had told Americans that fighting crime was racist was to tell them that they were imagining the murders.

But no one imagined it when LA and San Francisco booted Soros pro-crime prosecutors.

Five years after their last reckoning killed nearly 14,000 people, caused billions in damage, destroyed small businesses and livelihoods and set back race relations decades, they want another ‘reckoning’.

Americans deserve a reckoning, not with the fictitious claim that racist police officers are roving the streets looking to choke black men to death, but with the forces behind a destructive movement that took a bunch of amateur activists and their hashtag, and used them to destroy the criminal justice system and unleash rioters and criminals on innocent Americans.

A political movement backed by top foundations, including the Ford Foundation, and leading corporations, led to the deaths of the equivalent of the population of St. Augustine, Florida.

That’s the reckoning that should be happening.

If the drug overdose death of one career criminal led to a national reckoning, what should the murders of 14,000 human beings lead to?

We don’t need more racial reckonings, diversity commitments and pledges to end policing that killed 14,000 people. What we need is a reckoning for the reckoning. We need a reckoning with the billionaires and foundations, like Soros and Ford, that led us here. Their radical tax shelters need to be stripped from them, their fortunes garnished to cover the losses suffered by families and shopkeepers across the country. We need a reckoning with every politician that tweeted, attended and enabled the violence that continues to claim lives every single day.

We need a reckoning with the “fiery but mostly peaceful” media that could position a reporter in the middle of a firestorm and still claim that the riots which claimed countless lives were peaceful. And finally we need a reckoning with prosecutors and law enforcement who practiced the two-tier policing that allowed violent criminals to run rampant across entire cities. The ongoing violence by Hamas supporters and whatever shape the riots of tomorrow take are a warning that while the BLM riots have ended for now, they legitimized the idea of rioting.

It will take a comprehensive national legal reckoning to shut down rioting once and for all.

A true reckoning with the 14,000 victims of George Floyd’s legacy will begin with unleashing the police to get back to enforcing the ‘broken windows policing’ and other measures that he[ped make America safe in the 90s, and filling the prisons with career criminals using measures like ‘three strikes’ to end the revolving door crime wave enabled by not only leftists or Democrats, but Republicans who went along with ‘criminal justice reforms’ promoted by the Kochs.

The reckoning of the 14,000 should bury liberal and libertarian pro-crime policies along with those bodies. We should never allow ourselves to be fooled into buying the idea that closing prisons and freeing criminals is a ‘conservative’ policy or good for America. The cost of prisons is cheap compared to the cost of a massive crime wave. The cost of preventing a crime is always cheaper than the crime itself. And when we forget that, criminals will remind us.

May 25th should not be the day we mourn a violent criminal who robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint, it should be the anniversary of the day we pledge to be merciless to criminals.

Because when we are kind to criminals, we are cruel to their victims. When we kneel at the coffins of criminals, they will bury us in them. Forget George Floyd, remember the 14,000.

Anti-American Anti-Heroes

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

When the Barrow Gang was conducting its brutal robberies and murders, socialists found in their exploits an echo of their anti-capitalist cause. So it was small surprise that the release of Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 marked the New Hollywood wave in which anti-heroes exposing the facade of American life through acts of dysfunction were to become the new focus of movies.

“Our best movies have always made entertainment out of the anti-heroism of American life,” Pauline Kael, the infamous film critic, gushed in her essay on the gangster film.

The anti-heroes were meant to be the heroes because American life was not heroic, it was anti-heroic, and the mission of the culture was to indoctrinate Americans with that message.

American heroes were not police officers, but the anti-heroes who killed them.

90 years after Bonnie and Clyde went down in a hail of bullets on the watch of Frank Hamer, one of the toughest Texas Rangers ever bred, and a half-century after the counterculture was launched with an appealing cinematic rebranding of the two criminals, a mentally unstable rich kid turned assassin became the new public face of the post-election counterculture.

Luigi Mangione is no hero except to those to whom American life is essentially anti-heroic. Luigi’s admirers are the same socialists who cheered on Bonnie and Clyde for robbing shopkeepers. Bonnie, Clyde and Luigi “made entertainment out of the anti-heroism of American life” and murder is the ultimate form of entertainment for anti-capitalist agitprop.

The three are not heroes because they are virtuous, they are anti-heroes because their admirers see America as evil, a corrupt oppressive capitalist society, hiding behind a heroic myth that must be deconstructed through propaganda, activism and terrorist violence.

A year before filming Bonnie and Clyde, its star Warren Beatty began working on the movie that would eventually become Reds (then titled Comrades) glorifying the Communist Revolution. Reds, unlike Bonnie and Clyde, never became a hit even though it’s beloved by leftists. Americans were not ready to embrace Communists as romantic heroes (unless like Nelson Mandella or other Communist figures, their Communist allegiances are kept secret.).

And that leaves the anti-heroes who are not Communists, socialists or radicals, but unwittingly serve their larger aims of violently deconstructing the American narrative. They’re criminals or lunatics who become popular in the process of assailing some outpost of capitalism. Their actual politics matter much less than the politics that can be attributed or read into their actions.

The anti-hero’s only real requirement beyond that is capturing the attention of the public.

Bonnie, Clyde and Luigi were all adept at media savvy crimes. The two robbers and killers built their reputation through the newspapers, like less anonymous Jack the Rippers, even posing for their own pictures. Like the average mass shooter, Luigi Mangione had his own manifesto, but even long before there was any public manifesto, leftists had adopted him as a class warrior of their own cause. But what Bonnie, Clyde, Luigi and countless school shooters, and leftists, really have in common is a malignant narcissism that leads them to lash out at the world.

Their half-baked narratives, Bonnie’s poems or Luigi’s manifestos, are a lot less interesting than the eagerness of leftists looking for killers who share their politics. Manifestos or messages from killers are symptoms not causes. Bonnie and Clyde didn’t actually steal because they had to, but because they wanted to be famous. Luigi went to great trouble to disguise himself and carry out a professional killing only to slip and give away his identity because he wanted to be caught. Men who truly don’t want to be caught, don’t carry manifestos explaining why they did it.

Killers of this kind, whether they pretend to be terrorists, school shooters, mass shooters or criminals, are narcissists. What they want most is to make their mark on the world. They’re narcissists who fume at the lack of recognition. By spilling blood, they want to make sure that no one ever forgets them. People scour their diaries and writings for clues, but whatever their stated grievances, it all comes down to some variation of, “I am angry at the world.”

The stated ideologies, even when they exist, rarely matter. The ‘incel’ shooters like Elliot Rodges, the supposed victims of bullying like the original Columbine shooters, the transgender shooters like the Covenant School killer, never actually have anything else to really say.

They are malignant narcissists who want to break the world because they’re unhappy.

Other people to them are interchangeable pieces or, in the slang of modern always onliners, ‘NPCs’ who can be smashed or killed to make a point. An entire culture exists around gamifying mass killers down to treating their victims like game scores and turning them into memes.

And that same species of violent narcissism also lies at the raw ugly heart of leftist politics.

Before Bonnie and Clyde hit movie theaters, the first modern mass shootings emerged most decisively in the University of Texas tower shooting. A few months later, the first copycat mass shooting arrived with an attack at a cosmetology school. The media became the vector for creating the copycat killers through its obsessive coverage of these new anti-heroes: the frantic efforts to find social or genetic excuses for their crimes and save them from execution.

The serial killer, in reality fairly rare, became a national phenomenon because he expressed the leftist cultural narrative that American life was not heroic, but anti-heroic, and should be understood not through the best of us, but the absolute very worst of us. Serial killers and mass shooters became the ideal anti-heroes, madmen lashing out at the mad society that spawned them. Exploiting the rising interest in nihilistic criminals as a commentary on a nihilistic society, Bonnie and Clyde reimagined the classic criminal duo and made anti-heroes into the heroes.

From there it was a short hop to A Clockwork Orange and dramas that made nihilism its star.

But that was back when movies mattered. Social media made life into entertainment while movies became special effects cartoons for overgrown children. There is no need to make a movie about Luigi (though one is reportedly in the works anyway) because his story already played out on the news and in social media. Whatever the trial will reveal doesn’t matter.

The Left successfully made Bonnie and Clyde into a referendum on banks (even though banks were not at issue) and it similarly made Luigi Mangione into a referendum on health care. And underneath both is the “anti-heroic” narrative of American life as a struggle against capitalism.

Glamorizing Luigi is not only about defending his crime, but inciting copycats to kill some more.

Reeling from catastrophic election defeats and the abandonment of the working class, leftists see in Luigi an opportunity to reboot their movement around a counterculture of class terrorism.

Dead Girls, Islamic Terror and Government Crackdown

Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog 

On August 8, Bernadette Spofforth, a 55-year-old British Twitter user, was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for posting that the murderer of 3 girls in Southport was a Muslim terrorist. The charge she was held under was “posting inaccurate information”.

Bernadette was one of thousands of people arrested in a massive crackdown by the Starmer government aimed at suppressing political dissent over its open borders migrant policies.

After Axel Rudakubana, a Muslim terrorist, entered a children’s Taylor Swift dance workshop and stabbed 11 little girls, killing 3 of them, British authorities declared an emergency. The emergency was not the latest act of horrifying Muslim terrorism targeting local children.

It was that some of its citizens had noticed the latest Muslim terror attack and were outraged.

These included the the Dublin stabbing of children outside a Catholic school by Riad Bouchaker, an Algerian Muslim or the Manchester Arena bombing at an Arianna Grande concert by the Muslim Abedi family which wounded over 1,000 people and killed 22 people, many of them children, forming a consistent pattern of Muslim child killing.

The Southport stabbing at a Taylor Swift dance workshop fit the pattern. So did the immediate torrent of media disinformation accompanied by police threats and government crackdowns.

British authorities, which usually make a point of withholding the names of Muslim terrorists for as long as possible, released Axel Rudakubana’s name even though he was underage. Axel’s name and his Rwandan background were used to mislead the public into believing he was not a Muslim. In reality, the authorities knew he was a Muslim convert and did not reveal that.

Instead the authorities began arresting people for describing the stabbings as a Muslim terrorist attack. Media outlets, including Sky News, conducted ‘analyses’ of ‘misinformation’ denouncing trending hashtags like “Southport Muslim”. PM Starmer demanded an immediate crackdown on such ‘misinformation’ as posing a threat to public safety and the justice system.

While the Starmer government and British authorities had tolerated and continued to tolerate widespread Muslim terrorist rallies calling for the murder of Jews at which the flags of known terrorist organizations are waved, they declared an emergency over open borders protests.

Dystopian scenes were televised of police raiding people’s homes for “spreading misinformation”. Over 1,000 people were arrested for protesting and speaking their minds. In the same nation where police stood by while Muslim waved Hamas flags, shouting “who the f___ is Allah” earned a 61-year-old British man over a year in prison for opposing open borders.

This was in sharp contrast to the soft treatment meted out to Muslim terrorists like Mohisnath Chowdhury, who had attacked police officers with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and spent only a year in prison, before being released, and then arrested yet again for another terrorist plot targeting British people and tourists in London.

Much as in Dublin, the emergency was not a brutal attack on little girls, but criticism of Islam.

Even as PM Starmer demanded censorship of ‘misinformation’ and Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim with her own extremist views, unleashed a ruthless crackdown on the British people, the regime was undoubtedly aware of the truth about the terrorist.

After denying that Axel Rudakubana was a Muslim terrorist and arresting people for saying that he was, the police have finally admitted that he possessed an Al Qaeda manual titled ‘Military Studies in the Jihad’ and, like a number of previous Al Qaeda terrorists, had been making Ricin in an attempt to produce a biological weapon.

“You may have seen speculation online that the police are deciding to keep things from the public. This is certainly not the case,” Chief Constable Serena Kennedy claimed of the new charges. “At this time, Counter Terrorism Policing has not declared the attack on Monday 29 July a terrorist incident. I recognise that the new charges, may lead to speculation… for a matter to be declared a terrorist incident, motivation would need to be established. We would strongly advise caution against anyone speculating as to motivation in this case.”

It took the police nearly four months to reveal that the Muslim terrorist possessed an Al Qaeda manual, but the authorities are still denying that he stabbed the little girls in the name of Islam. The authorities deem this to be “transparent” and continue to warn the public about “speculating” about the motive of a Muslim terrorist who was getting his ideas from Al Qaeda.

“Don’t engage in rumour and speculation and don’t believe everything you read on social media,” Kennedy insisted.

Social media is unreliable, but the authorities are more so. Social media may have gotten the name wrong, but it got the essential truth of the story right. And social media does not engage in sustained cover-ups or break down your door to arrest you to protect those cover-ups.

In “early August”, the authorities had turned up the Ricin. The Al Qaeda file probably came up even earlier. While the authorities were arresting people for describing Axel as a Muslim terrorist and warning about the dangers of misinformation, they were well aware of what he actually was.

Was the media aware of the truth even while it was warning about “misinformation”? Likely so.

Over the course of the ruthless government crackdown that followed, the media became the main source of ‘disinformation’, falsely claiming that Axel was not a Muslim, demanding urgent censorship and arrests of anyone who told the truth, and even attributing it to Russia.

All of these were not only lies, but calculated lies used to aid a government cover-up.

Few media platforms, even the more prestigious and conservative ones, have corrected their false claims that Axel was not Muslim. For example, the Financial Times continues to falsely claim that Axel “is not Muslim” even as it urges greater censorship. The FT quoted a professor employed by the Islamic terrorist state of Qatar, to bolster its claims about ‘misinformation’.

Nor is the crackdown by the Starmer government over. The same British establishment which has made few arrests in a year of Hamas riots has announced that months later, “inquiries continue regarding 216 wanted people whom the police are actively seeking to arrest” in the protests against the Islamic terrorist killings of British little girls.

But if there are to be arrests for ‘misinformation’, they should begin with PM Starmer, the authorities and the media which spent months lying to the public and using those lies to justify a crackdown, political persecution, arrests, and the chilling of free speech and protest in the UK.

The Southport crackdown was one of the ugliest periods in British history in this century. And it was all based on a government lie. There must be a reckoning for the illegal arrests, the warnings by police to social media users and the lies spread by the political establishment.

More DOJ And FBI Corruption

October 12, 2024/ Francis Menton @ Manhattan Contrarian

A couple of weeks ago I posed the question of whether the recently-initiated federal prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams is legitimate, or whether it is yet another instance of abject corruption by our Department of Justice and FBI, in this instance pay-back by the prosecutors for Adams’s criticism of the regime’s immigration policies. To help you as you ponder that question, it might be useful to look at a few other things that the DOJ and FBI are recently up to.

As Item Number 1, Justice “Special Counsel” Jack Smith chose the date of October 2 — 34 days before the upcoming election — to file his brief laying out his reasons why ex-President Trump does not qualify for immunity from prosecution under the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling in Trump v. United States. Smith’s brief, which is 165 pages long, was then promptly unsealed by the District Judge in the case, Tanya Chutkan. I am not going to quote from it here, but it is fair to say that the brief goes out of its way to be as inflammatory as possible against the former President.

In a New York Times op-ed on October 9, Professor Jack Goldsmith of Harvard Law School raises completely legitimate questions about the timing of the filing. Note that Goldsmith is no fan of Trump. From the op-ed:

[T]he timing of the release should receive more scrutiny, because the Department of Justice should not have allowed the information to be disclosed so close to Election Day. This event is the latest of many examples of Biden administration officials paying insufficient public attention to executive branch rules that are designed to ensure that prosecutions are, in appearance and reality, conducted fairly and apolitically. . . . 

It is . . . vital . . . for the executive branch to take scrupulous care to assure the public that the prosecutions are conducted in compliance with pertinent rules. On this score, Mr. Smith has failed. . . . The filing is in clear tension with the Justice Department’s 60-day rule, which the department inspector general has described as a “longstanding department practice of delaying overt investigative steps or disclosures that could impact an election” within 60 days of an election.

Professor Goldsmith has used the gentlest possible terms to describe outrageous conduct by Justice. What Smith has done is to construct an overheated filing against the administration’s main political rival, and to orchestrate its timing, in a clear effort to achieve maximum impact on the election. I guess that the Times should get some credit for publishing the op-ed, although if this had been a prosecution by Trump of one of his rivals we would have been treated to six different stories on the front page.

For today’s Item Number 2, consider the case of Dr. Eithan Haim of Texas Children’s Hospital. TCH is the largest hospital for children in the country. In early 2022 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued an opinion stating that gender transition surgeries for minors were a form of child abuse. Within days, in March 2022, TCH announced that it had halted all such procedures. (From the AP, March 6, 2022: “The nation’s largest pediatric hospital has announced it has stopped gender-affirming therapies.”). Thereafter, the Texas legislature began work on a bill banning such surgeries for minors, which bill was then enacted in 2023 and signed by Governor Abbott on June 2, 2023.

Dr. Haim was working as a resident at TCH in 2022 and 2023. Haim observed gender transition procedures on minors as young as 11 taking place at TCH shortly after the March 2022 announcement, and continuing thereafter. From Health Care News, July 8, 2024:

“The hospital had said unequivocally they were going to shut down their transgender program because of potential criminal legal liability,” Haim told Health Care News. “Because I worked there, I knew that this was a lie. Categorically, it was untrue. They not only continued the program but expanded it.” The documents showed TCH performed “gender-affirming care” just days after the announcement . . . . One such procedure done shortly after the announcement was performed on an 11-year-old girl.

Haim provided documents about the ongoing gender procedures on minors to Texas authorities and to investigator Chris Rufo, who published information on this matter in City Journal on May 16, 2023. All patient-specific information had been redacted from the documents to protect the privacy of the patients. From Rufo’s City Journal piece:

I have obtained exclusive whistleblower documents showing that, despite its public statements, the Houston-based children’s hospital—the largest in the United States—has secretly continued to perform transgender medical interventions, including the use of implantable puberty blockers, on minor children. . . . I can confirm that nothing in the information provided to me identified any individual; all the documents were, in fact, carefully redacted.

In June 2024, the Justice Department issued an indictment not of TCH, but of Haim. What had he done wrong? Here is the DOJ press release announcing the indictment. The subject matter appears to be violations of medical privacy, but curiously the press release does not assert that any private patient information was improperly revealed. Rather, it states that Haim “obtained personal information including patient names, treatment codes and the attending physician from Texas Children’s Hospital’s (TCH) electronic system without authorization . . . [and] under false pretenses.” The press release does not mention what statute may have been violated, although presumably it must be HIPAA.

In other words, the theory is that finding out about ongoing illegal behavior and reporting it to the authorities and the public is now itself deemed criminal by DOJ when the behavior disclosed is deemed important to the progressive agenda. All people in a hospital who are not actually doing the gender surgeries themselves are to be prohibited from talking about them. If they can silence Haim and others like him, then TCH can go on engaging in its conduct free from concern from pesky Texas statutes.

Read some of the linked articles for more details on DOJ’s tactics of intimidation in the effort to silence Haim.

And for today’s Item Number 3, have you heard of the case of Brian Malinowski? This one comes from the August 2024 issue of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. Malinowski was the manager of the airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, until the morning of March 19, when DOJ’s ATF conducted a pre-dawn SWAT-style raid on his house and shot him dead.

Malinowski was a gun hobbyist who sometimes bought and sold guns at gun shows. Federal law requires people “engaged in the business” of buying and selling guns to get a federal license. The statutory definition of “engaged in the business” is quite restrictive:

Congress has defined “engaged in the business” to apply to those who deal in firearms “as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit” as opposed to those who make “occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby.”

ATF took the position that Malinowski was “engaged in the business” of buying and selling firearms, despite the restrictive definition and the fact that Malinowski had a rather responsible day job. Anyway, rather than, say, writing Malinowski a letter, or issuing some kind of summons, here’s how ATF chose to proceed:

Multiple undercover ATF agents were sent to observe Malinowski selling firearms at a gun show, a GPS tracker was secretly placed on Malinowski’s car, and a search warrant was obtained for his home. Malinowski wasn’t home the first time ATF agents showed up to serve the warrant, so the second time they left nothing to chance. 

Dressed in SWAT gear, together with Little Rock police, they showed up in ten vehicles at Malinowski’s house before dawn on March 19. They cut the power to his house and put a piece of tape over the doorbell camera so that Malinowski couldn’t see who they were. Less than a minute later, after an exchange of gunfire, Malinowski was dead. And in violation of both ATF and Little Rock police policies requiring body cameras, not one of the law enforcement agents involved in this deadly raid was wearing an activated camera.

Your federal government in action. The chances of any of the personnel involved facing any consequences is about zero.

Terrorist Murderer of 5-Year-Old Girl Caught Hiding in Maternity Ward

By Daniel Greenfield

On a Sabbath morning, three Islamic terrorists invaded the Israeli village of Adora located in the Judean Mountains in the rebuilt vicinity of a city dating back to the reign of King Solomon.
The Jihadists had carefully picked the Sabbath morning when many of the men and some of the women would be praying in the synagogue. To fool what few families were at home, they wore the uniforms of Israeli soldiers as they entered their houses.

At the Shefi family home, Jacob Shefi, a policeman, was in the synagogue and his wife Shiri was in the bedroom playing with their three children, 5-year-old Danielle, 4-year-old Uriel and 2-year-old Eliad, when.one the terrorists burst into the bedroom.

Danielle had wanted to go to the synagogue, but her mother insisted on doing her hair first.

Shiri told the children to hide under the bed and covered them with her body as the terrorist opened fire. Wounded, she still managed to force the door closed as the terrorists continued their rampage across the village. Uriel and Eliad were wounded, but Danielle, hiding under the bed, was dead.

Jacob Shefi, running home at the sound of gunshots, thought the terrorists were soldiers and asked them what was happening. They shot at him and he ran to a house nearby to find a gun. When he saw his wife again, she told him, “they murdered our daughter.”

Danielle Shefi was one of 4 people murdered in the Adora attack, including Katia Greenberg, a Russian immigrant and mother of 3 who worked with the disabled, Yaakov Katz, a Soviet dissident physicist, who left the USSR with Reagan’s help and was working on laser technology, and First Sergeant Arik Becker, a 22-year-old reservist who was killed trying to stop the attack.

It was the spring of 2002 and such Islamic terror atrocities still had the power to shock the world. Or those parts of it that were not the media which headlined the story as, “Palestinian Gunmen Kill 4 Israeli Settlers in West Bank.” And Danielle Shefi became just another “Israeli settler”.

“Anyone capable of looking a 4-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl in the face and then shooting them is not human,” Jacob Shefi told the press. “Danielle, who never hurt anyone and who was taught to love and respect all human beings, Jew or Arab, was murdered in her parents’ bedroom – which for her should have been the safest place.”

When her kindergarten classmates were told that the little girl had gone to heaven, they asked, “What is Danielle doing up there near the birds and planes?”

“Please remember Danielle Shefi, a little girl in Israel. Danielle was five. When the murderers came, she hid under her bed. Palestinian gunmen found and killed her anyway,” Elie Wiesel, the great writer of the Holocaust, urged President Bush. “Please remember that while Israelis mourned alongside us for our nation’s tragedy on September 11th, Yasir Arafat was busy suppressing footage of his constituents dancing in the streets.”

But few remembered and the world moved on. One of the terrorists from the Adora attack was released as part of the disastrous Shalit hostage exchange deal in 2011.

Fadi Mohammed Salaam Dewik, that terrorist, rose through the ranks and became a senior figure in Hamas. After Israel had finished its previous raid on the Al-Shifa hospital, the Qatari base used by Hamas, Dewik along with many other terrorists returned to the hospital.

They assumed that Israel would not come back without offering plenty of warning the way that it had during the previous raid on Al-Shifa under pressure from the Biden administration.

But this time the terrorists had made a fatal mistake.

After a campaign by Islamic terrorist supporters in Dearborn, Michigan, and their leftist allies, the Biden administration had turned on Israel to salvage his chances in the swing state.

Senator Schumer was chosen by the administration to denounce Israel and warn it not to endanger civilians by attacking Hamas. The weekend after Schumer’s shameful speech, Israel came back to Al-Shifa and this time there were no more warnings to tip off the terrorists.

Over the holiday of Purim, Israeli soldiers took out over 200 terrorists and captured over 650 terrorists. There were more terrorists at the hospital than its official number of 700 patient beds.

The terrorists included the top leadership of Islamic Jihad and senior Hamas officials. While most of the terrorists surrendered, expecting to be traded in a deal for the hostages, some of the most hardened holed up in the hospital’s maternity ward and wouldn’t come out.

Among them was Dewik.

Cartoons had often depicted Hamas hiding behind babies, and the terrorists made those cartoons come to life as they opened fire from the ER, threw grenades from the burn ward and when the maternity ward was finally liberated, IDF soldiers found sniper rifles, handguns and mortars hidden everywhere from beds to drop ceilings.

Dewik died alongside Zakariya Najeeb, a top terrorist who had coordinated operations for Hamas, in the maternity ward where mothers are supposed to bring life into the world.

The terrorist who had taken part in the murder of a 5-year-old girl died in a place of children.

Justice had been delayed for 22 years before finally catching up with Fadi Mohammed Dewik.

“When I heard my daughter was murdered, my first reaction was: there is no God,” Jacob Shefi said at the time. “Then I came to my senses. I thought to myself, here, my two sons and my wife were left alive, even though terrorists shot at them from point blank range. They also shot at me and didn’t hit me, there is a higher power watching over us.”

“She loved to pray, go to synagogue. If only she had gone out with me in the morning, maybe she would be alive,” he said.

Today, Jacob is one of the “Blue Riders” motorcyclists in Israeli law enforcement and posts inspirational religious messages in the wake of the Islamic terrorist attacks of Oct 7.

When Danielle was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said that she wanted to be a righteous woman. Today she would have been a young woman, perhaps married with children of her own. Islamic terrorists denied her the opportunity as they had so many innocent victims, from the dead in Adora to those murdered on 9/11, 7/7 in London and Oct 7 in Israel.

Justice under these conditions seems elusive and at times even impossible. And those who are left behind may even wonder if there is a God who sees and makes right a broken world.

Danielle’s full name was Danielle Bat-El Shefi. Bat-El means “Daughter of G-d”.

Murdered on a Sabbath, Danielle was avenged on Purim which commemorates the day when Haman had plotted to kill the Jews, “from the young to the old, little children and women”.

The Biden administration and the world had abandoned Israel, but that higher power had not.

The World as I See It, March 25, 2024

"You know that little voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say? Yeah, I don't have that!" - Lotus Flower Press

By Rich Kozlovich

2024 Election

Here are the issues Joe Biden and his band of misfits will be running on in 2024, Bidenomics, which is a disaster, the legalization of mind altering drugs, the murder of the innocent unborn calling it health care, destroying American industry and calling it saving the planet, promoting ever transsexual agenda there is, all of which will require a total abandonment of reason, logic, truth, facts, history, real science, and reality.  

No problem, just as long as the Republicans fail to stop all the voter fraud that's going on, that's all Joe will need.  It was all he needed in 2020, and that's all the Democrats will need in 2024. Even in Ohio, where it wasn't believed voter fraud was as big a deal as it is in the rest of the country, we Ohioans are now shocked to find....that's not entirely accurate.

It turns out it's been discovered by civilian volunteers there are massive irregularities in Ohio's voter database, stuff that elected and hired state officials should have known about and fixed.  Why didn't they?

Violence in America

Violence in America is frightening.  Racial violence is pandemic.  Black culture in America is now a criminal culture, and it's not just against whites, Asians, and Hispanic.  Black thugs are non discriminating.  They hate everyone. 

Outrage Over Hung Jury in Brutal Beating of Asian Jewelry Store Owner Despite Clear Video Evidence  The video has been deleted in this link, but it is available in this one.  Trial for man seen on video attacking jewelry store owner ends in hung jury Surveillance video shows 68-year-old Chang Suh being stomped on and hit in the head at least a dozen times - twice with a hammer..........

A hung jury? Ya just gotta be kidden me!   How in the world could there possibly be a hung jury? The video blatantly demonstrates this man was guilty as sin?  I can't prove it but I'm willing to bet there were blacks on that jury who would have acquitted him if he'd publicly murdered a dozen people and filmed it.  And that's been the trend for decades.  Black leadership, prominent black movements, and the media not only excuse that kind of behavior, they lie about the events, and then they applaud it, and they benefit from it.

Eight monsters abducted, tortured, raped a young mother and then murdered her, and these monsters even videoed the whole vile event. Her name was Mahogany Jackson.  What did they have in common? They were all black.

There are entirely too many people, black and white, who sympathize and justify what all  these black criminal thugs are doing!  Fortunately there are some prominent blacks who see this for what it is.  Sharika Soal addressed this horror by saying:  Stop Sympathizing With Black Criminals – It Harms Americans.  

A man in New Orleans was almost beaten to death because he accidentally stepped on a black kid's shoe.  Lesson?  Don't step on a black kid's shoes, but if that's the lesson, one has to wonder how can you line in and/or revive any major city if the inhabitants live in a culture that’s undisciplined, irresponsible, refuse to be educated, and violent? One in which an unacceptable percentage of the inhabitants of the city think that’s just fine and dandy.

I don't think that's possible because they've abandoned all the Judaic/Christian values that make a society stable.  If there is no stable moral foundation for a society, there is no stability, then society becomes a mob.

 

It appears the victim is now finally able to breath on her own, but her head injuries were severe, and I'm betting she will suffer from this beating for the rest of her life, and now, "here's the rest of the story".   The suspect who smashed Kaylee Gain’s head into the pavement claims she’s the victim.  If you watch that video you can only conclude one thing.  No one picked on this girl.....ever.  She looks like she could beat up the guys.

Race and punishment: truth over facts January 8, 2024 The destructive effects of such lies don’t seem to matter to politicians like Joe Biden, who spoke for D/s/cs when he said: “we believe in truth over facts."...... 

Here’s what ‘white rage’ in the heartland really looks like - And what MSNBC partisans are getting woefully wrong........MSNBC won’t report on what local Republicans are doing, because it would bore the audience to death.............You want to know what rural Illinois Republicans want? They send people to a Democrat-supermajority Legislature and hope for some scraps for their districts. Maybe get some of the worst potholes filled, or signage for school zones. They don’t expect much, except more tax increases. There’s no rage. There’s definitely lots of disgust, but no rage. The folks in flyover land don’t really have much time for such. They have bills and taxes to pay.......

In Cleveland 100 year ago you couldn't get a job in the factories if you were a Jew or an Italian, yet they're both successful parts of the American culture today because of family commitment, education, and hard work.  Those are the choices black culture in America has eschewed, and that failure of responsibility belongs to black America, and black America alone.

Stop the blame game, marry the women they're impregnating, raise those children in a nuclear family, get a job, go to work everyday, don't steal from the employer, do the work without five hundred pounds of attitude, educate their children and raise them with those same values.

Problem solved.   Does anyone think that's going to happen any time soon?  Black Americans have been told by Democrats that they are completely unaccountable no matter what they do and are actively backing up that narrative officially. In addition it is insisted now that everyone else put up with this to make up for past racism....or something. This is unsustainable.

Violence by blacks against white people is so prevalent because we reward them for it. It is that simple. When you reward someone (or a group) for a behavior - you will get more of it. When you punish someone (or a group) for a behavior - you will get less of it. This is really not rocket science.

Yet what do we see?  The promotion of blatant insanity from academia is unending, all of which is a stench in the nostrils of sane people. 

'Woke' Insanity Continues: University Professor Says Traditional Marriage Promotes 'White Supremacy'  - The following story illustrates the reality of the insane world of the woke in today's America and our desensitized reaction to it. Let's be frank: The radical woke are hellbent on destroying every moral tradition in this country, including traditional marriage. Or, as a George Mason University professor chooses to call it, "marriage fundamentalism." "Marriage fundamentalism," argues Professor Bethany Letiecq, is an "ideology and cultural phenomenon in which adherents espouse the superiority of the two-parent married family."  It gets weirder. According to Letiecq, the federal government has coerced:

 Red line, red line, whose got the red line?

   Kamala Harris says there will be consequences!!!! Really?  Okay, it looks like we have a new red line.  Right?  So then, where are those red lines?  Oh yeah, there they are, the ones left over from the Obama administration.  Oh, yeah, that was really great press.  It didn't accomplish much, but hey, this time its different.  Kamala said it, and Kamala has studied the maps!   Ya know, like she studied that maps of the America/Mexico border maps. Well, if that's the case, Israel has nothing to worry about, it's not a real "red line"......it's just another "red herring".   But she did say it with a lot of conviction. 

Everyone is so worried about Israel killing "innocent" Gazans, calling it "genocide".  but no one is interested in the worldwide violence Muslims perpetrate against Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and even other Muslims.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. In all these countries, the humanitarian situation was orders of magnitude worse than in Gaza, but the worldwide protests against these crimes were orders of magnitude weaker than the powerful anti-Israeli demonstrations and accusations of Israeli genocide of Muslims in Gaza.

These Gazans aren't soldiers. They are terrorists, terrorists, terrorists. Did I say terrorists?  Yep, terrorists, that's called repetition for emphasis,  to remind everyone Hamas was declared a terrorist organization by the United States in 1997. 

All of which Kamala, Hollywood, the media, and the leftists screaming about Israels "murder" of "innocent civilians" seems to ignore.  Not a thing to say about the fact these terrorists are using these "innocent" Gazans, including women and children, as human shields to prevent Israel from attacking them.  

All  outrageous propaganda claiming Israel is putting civilians at risk, with death toll numbers that are highly inflated.  Genocide is what China did to the Chinese, what the Nazis did to the Jews and Eastern Europeans, what Castro did to Cubans, what Turkey did to Armenians, what Pol Pot did to Cambodians, and those numbers were in the millions, and it was deliberately planned and done.  War casualties are accidentals, not genocide. 

It's great propaganda, but the fact is, there are no innocent civilians in Gaza.  They're all Hamas supporters who danced in the streets watching the videos of the atrocities these monsters perpetrated against actual innocent civilians in Israel, especially women and children.  

These terrorists who are so convened about the women and children in their society happily use them as suicide bombers, even as young as seven years old.  Perhaps Kamala and the rest of these Muslim supporting nitwits should read a history book on occasion.  Lot of good it would do though since ideology makes smart people stupid, and leftist ideology makes stupid people like Kamala look even dumber.  

The Republican party is a mess.  

It has no shared vision or goals.  The leadership in every state is filled with RINO's who are lying to their base, just like DeWine in Ohio and their choice for the Senate, Matt Dolan, whose vision is far more in line with Democrat Sherrod Brown than with Donald Trump.  Fortunately Bernie Moreno, an America First conservative won. 

 First off, I have no idea why any Republican willing goes on CNN to be interviewed, but GOP Representative Chip Roy did stating his opinions on how and why the Republicans are a mess, and how they need to get their act together.  

 

Well, while I think that sounds really nice, but, given the reality of the Republican party, it's really stupid.  

 

How does a party get it's act together when one side wants to continue going along to get along, spending and borrowing as if there's no penalty for such insanity, and is willing to scheme to destroy the Republican majority in the House?  Somehow I find that to be a bit....just a bit... insurmountable.

 

How is a party to find common goals when it has members like Alaska Senator Murkowsli who is so outraged that Trump is the Republican nominee and says she won't vote for him, and is telling that to the world.  The difference between Murkowski, Romney, John Kasich, Liz Chaney, and so many of these others in the Republican party and the Democrats is...... wellllllll ...... let me think about this...... hmmmmm ........I guess there is none.   Imagine that.

 

So how exactly does Ole Chip plan to get them together?  Oh, wait, I know, I know, every one of these moderates and lefty Republican traitors will resign, and hope for a massive red surge of actual conservatives in November.  Otherwise, it's all a bunch of clabber.
