Nashville shooter manifesto leaks...
[PostMillennial] A leaked manifesto reveals the Nashville trans school shooter had a violent hatred of the "little crackers" with "white privilege" that were murdered.

First obtained and released by the Louder with Crowder conservative YouTube show, the three-page handwritten document shows Audrey "Aiden" Hale meticulously planned their last moments and the mass school shooting at The Covenant School on March 27. Three young children and three school staff were killed before Hale, 28, was shot dead by responding police.

The manifesto, written in a spiral notebook, has various screeds and thoughts scrawled down by pen.

"DEATH DAY," Hale wrote on one page with the drawing of a target reticle and a pistol, along with the date "3/27/23."

"The day has finally come!" Hale wrote. "I can't believe its [sic] here. Don't know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I'm a little nervous but excited too. Been excited for the past 2 weeks."

Not sure why the huge effort to hide this, other than the thought that there's no way to know if the leak is everything or even real. Photos at the link.

#1  Easy to see why the Junta would want to hide this - it's a psychotic's kill list justified by every Democrat/Leftist talking point under the sun. Love is love!

#2  It's interesting in that by their behavior, the 'authorities' only lend credence to this. Whether it is accurate or not we will tell by the full release of the manifesto.

Perhaps the hormone treatment did not actually improve this individual's mental stability.

#6  According to the Cincinnati Enquirer article linked by the Daily Mail, the Cincinnati police will increase their numbers in the neighbourhood after this latest incident, adding:

Long said the neighborhood has experienced “disproportionately high” levels of gun violence, but the city’s efforts to combat violence there – including a months-long investigation into a concentrated area of crime on Livingston and John streets that led to the closure of a liquor store – have led to some results.

I’ve met Mayor Aftab Karma Singh Pureval, and Mr. Wife knows him fairly well. He is the child of immigrants — father Indian, mother a Tibetan refugee — and was educated locally in public schools and universities. After the usual lawyerly pre-politics experiences, he spent three years at Procter&Gamble working with the business side of the company. He is handsome, charmingly friendly, and quite interesting to talk to. One of those well-intentioned suburb-reared liberal Democrats of colour, so he does quite well in Cincinnati city and county elections. Whether he’ll be able to parlay that into a seat in Congress when he is ready to try again remains to be seen, as does whether he’ll be able to improve anything in the city other than increase spending.

St Louis man, 19, tries to steal baby from woman's arms at crosswalk, before breaking 82 year-old woman's arms during rampage targeting strangers

#1 
Having seen too much of the inter-city St. Louis & East ST. Louis in 1994-95. Who the hell would even walks the streets now?

BTW: Doesn't St. Louis have or still have a Soro's funded DA?

So we could see the DA argue this is a Social Justice type payback crime. Given Whites 200 years ago stole (purchased Africans from Africans) blacks from their families and even injured the seniors. Then release him on a signature bond.

#4  ^#3 What's to say he was gonna to grab and run off with the baby?

It is just as likely he was gonna grab it and slam it on the ground, and killing it.

#5  This is in the Central West End, which is or used to be the richest and most prestigious neighborhood in the city of St. Louis. Pretty shocking.

I do understand the Missouri AG has taken steps to remove the Soros prosecutor in St. Louis (which he apparently has the power to do in Missouri.) Haven't seen any recent news stories about where his actions are.

#2  If the Spaniards (and others) insist on a cut of the proceeds, be sure and attach a bill for a share of costs (buying the research ship, development of the DRV, training, etc).
I'm sure you could make all the profits disappear in recovery costs.

Europe
Italian archaeologists have found a record treasure of ancient Roman coins in the sea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

It's keg party time for Italian archeologists!

I’ve never found anything but fish, coral sand, and seashells when scuba diving.
[Regnum] In the sea off the coast of Sardinia, archaeologists have found a treasure with ancient Roman coins, which can be considered a record-breaking one, Italian Ministry of Culture reported.

“All coins are in exceptional and rare condition,” the statement said.

Archaeologists have previously discovered from 30 to 50 thousand bronze coins from the beginning of the 4th century AD. This is significantly more than the treasure found in Great Britain in 2013, when almost 23 thousand bronze follis coins
...a silver-plated bronze coin, apparently worth 40 nummi at the time...
of the Roman Empire were found.

The department noted that the restoration of coins discovered at sea will expand knowledge about the find. What is currently known is that the type of coinage dates back to the period between 324 and 340 AD, and the bronze coins come from almost all the mints of the empire, with the exception of Antioch, Alexandria and Carthage.

In addition to coins, archaeologists found fragments of African and Oriental amphorae.

A man who noticed metal objects at shallow depths near the coast during a dive told specialists about the discovery.

As Regnum reported , a resident in northeastern Romania discovered a bronze vessel with ancient gold and silver coins in a local forest belt in September 2022. The contents of the treasure date back to 159 - 150. ad.

During excavations in the Dagestan city of Derbent in November 2021, two treasures with copper coins were found. During the excavations, housing and household remains from the 11th–12th centuries were also found, including the remains of dwellings, stove structures, and two water conduits.

#1  Of archaeological value, but no actual treasure.
Hence no competing claims.

Government Corruption
Chicago Secretly Renews Contract with Covid Staffing Firm to Staff Migrant Shelters-Some Staff on Track to Make $800K Per Year
[Gateway] Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson traveled to D.C. on Friday to push for more funding to handle the illegal crisis brought on by Joe Biden’s broken border.

Johnson, along with other big city mayors, is asking for an additional $5 billion more in federal funding from the Biden administration for aid for migrants.

Johnson said the services are costing the city an unsustainable $40 million per month.

Johnson and the City, however, have not been entirely transparent about where the money is going.

How To Join The "Secret Boycott" Patriots Are Using To Crush Woke Corporations

The Gateway Pundit reported that reporter William J. Kelly exposed how sites across Chicago are closed to Americans, including a luxury hotel on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, and are being used to house illegals.

The Inn of Chicago, The Standard Club, and parts of O’Hare Airport, have turned into multi-million dollar migrant shelters by Johnson.

Now, Kelly has exposed that the City of Chicago has secretly renewed it’s $40 million dollar contract with a Kansas based staffing firm, Favorite Healthcare Staffing, which had a prior contract with the City as a Covid staffing company.

Kelly shares, "And now, magically, it is a migrant shelter manager."

Majority Believe AI Will Spread Election Misinformation in 2024
[HOT AIR] New polling from the AP and NORC confirms that people are growing increasingly concerned about the dangers posed by Artificial Intelligence. These worries cover many areas, but voters are specifically worried about the impact of AI on the upcoming elections. A solid majority of poll respondents said they are concerned that AI will be used to "spread false or misleading information" during the election, potentially affecting the outcome. At the same time, the poll revealed that while most people have concerns about AI, not all that many of them have used it or really know much about it.

#3  If AI does not spread election misinformation it will at least be credited with doing so by grifters trying to hide the truth.

#4  I have played around with the Bing chat GPT-4.

Asked simple questions about historic political office holders (specifically naming the oldest and youngest) it tends to confidently make glaring mistakes, even though the answer can be obtained by trivially processing simple lists.

I wouldn't trust any AI "facts" without verification.
