Nashville authorities 'aware' of purported leak of Christian school shooter's manifesto
[FoxNews] Pictures of 3 pages said to be from Audrey Hale's Covenant School murder manifesto published online

Nashville authorities are "aware" of the purported leak of portions of Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale's highly anticipated "manifesto" found in the car where the killer gunned down three 9-year-olds and three adults in March.

In what appear to be crime scene photographs of the killer's handwritten notes, the unverified documents would explain why police were quick to label the massacre "calculated and planned."

"We are aware of that assertion," a city police spokeswoman told Fox News Digital Monday. However, she said it was too early to confirm the documents' authenticity and that authorities were investigating. Police later released a statement adding that "The photographs are not MNPD crime scene images."

Nashville police have said they recovered documents in the 28-year-old Hale's car after police killed the suspect on the school's second floor. However, they have been fighting in court not to release the manifesto, and so has a group of parents from the school.

The National Police Association is involved in a court battle with Nashville's city and police department demanding the manifesto be made public. Officials there told Fox News Digital their case is still pending, and the documents did not come out in court.

"I think it highlights the importance of getting the information out as soon as possible," said Doug Pierce, the Tennessee attorney representing the NPA in the case, who called the potential leak a "bombshell" but said he could not confirm the documents.

More information is expected to come out if he’s successful in court.

"What was requested would include more than just these three pages," he told Fox News Digital.

The lawsuit has been slowed for months. Currently, an appeals court is expected to rule on whether Hale’s parents and the school have a right to intervene. There is no clear timeline for a decision on releasing the full manifesto.

"It could go on," Pierce said. "This could be years before we get it all resolved."

Hale, who identified as a male named AIden, but who police describe as a transgender woman, kept more than 20 journals, court documents revealed earlier this year, and the three purportedly leaked pages would only represent a snippet of the killer's writings.

In a statement, Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell said the city would launch its own investigation into the potential leak.

"I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro’s Law Director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released," he said. "That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving."

His office told Fox News Digital that it did not possess the documents and could not confirm their veracity.

The FBI, which had been given copies to analyze earlier this year, declined to comment, citing the pending lawsuit.

In addition to the manifesto, Hale made hand-drawn maps and diagrams of the school, with possible entry points and illustrations showing a shooter wearing the same outfit worn during the murders, police said.

Police previously released surveillance video showing the heroics of responding officers as they stormed the building and neutralized Hale in front of a second-story window, where the killer was actively shooting from.

According to its website, the Covenant School opened in 2001 as part of the Covenant Presbyterian Church and served children from Pre-K through sixth grade.

From former Rantburg moderator ryuge:
If you follow people on Twitter X, he is well worth adding to your list. Very informative on WoT and the culture wars, presented with a delightfully sly wit all his own.

Youtube took down the Louder with Crowder video. You can see it on Crowder's Rumble channel here:



It is worth noting that Crowder said that google was suppressing news of the leak. But it turns out it was only suppressing a word order Google would not use.You can see the Google search results here.

#4  /\ Yes, a reluctant awareness but no condemnation.

Not a great leap from infanticide to the murder of school age children. A connection the left would rather not make.

Biden's Food Inflation Crushes Household Budgets
[American Greatness] The CEO of Target stores recently explained to CNBC that American consumers cut back significantly, "even on grocery items." He relayed to the business channel that "even in food and beverage categories, over the last few quarters, the units, the number of items they’re buying, has been declining."

Admittedly, few on the political right will shed any tears for the executive suite of Target, a company infamous for its obsession with woke politics. Nonetheless, Target provides a key gauge of overall consumer health. After all, this chain of nearly 2,000 big box stores, with more than 400,000 employees, boasts a market cap value of $50 billion.

The reality, as relayed right now by Target — and nearly every other major retailer — is that the U.S. consumer is so afflicted by Biden’s inflation that buying food has become a hardship in 2023 America.

In fact, the latest survey results from the battleground swing states of America finds that food insecurity is a foremost worry of American citizens. My organization, the League of American Workers, just commissioned a sweeping poll of the battleground states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Our survey canvassed 800 registered voters from these states that almost surely will decide the 2024 presidential election, and perhaps control of Congress as well. The poll revealed an overall dismal mood in America, with a staggering 77% of voters stating that America is on the "wrong track" vs. only 17% conveying optimism.

The main driver of the pessimism is clearly economic anxiety, and only 39% of these battleground state voters gave Biden positive marks on that issue. Even more damning for Biden and the Democrats, among battleground state independents, only 9% say they "strongly approve" of Biden on the economy vs. a whopping 48% who "strongly disapprove."

#4  Since, when a business wants to Plays Social Politics it costs the customers $$$$$$ as they just passed it on to the consumers.
So WHY would I want to help FUND it via 3rd person handout, given our reduced buying power?


Because just about all the food on the shelves has had strange ingredient adjustments and tastes odd. Plus with package Shrink-inflation, and the costs are now well up over 21+%.

We even turned off the lights, as many others did, for Halloween to save spending $50+ for candy. (about the current cost of 2 family in home meals)

Plus House values went up 25+% and SO DID the related taxes on the new value. Plus Home and car Insurance coverage costs went up to cover the increase repair and replacement cost differences.

Vehicle Fuel for most of America went up 50+% along with Home heating costs up and etc . etc. etc.

But cheer up we will get a 3.##% SSA COLA 2024 increase.


If it ain't on Special at 25% off, or better, and does not have at least a Best Buy Date of a year out or better, we stopped buying it.

Olde Tyme Religion
Check Yourself - Are You in Control?
[Last Refuge] It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this "great reset" bombardment. We must hold strong; you must hold strong.

If you look closely at the attacks that unnerve us, most of them are weak, and almost all of them are targeting your psychology. Do not fall into the trap of despair. Step outside of your home right now; look around, do you see any threat — or is the sense of fear and foreboding created by a dark imagining? If the latter, ask yourself, is the psychological attack working simply because you are allowing it?

Don't miss the imbedded "Heavy Metal" vocal

#1  Isn't there a saying "Don't get mad, get even."?
And
"Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing 'Oh how wonderful' and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out, and start their working lives
By grubbing weeds from garden paths with broken dinner knives."
