Covenant school shooter Audrey Hale’s leaked writings authenticated by Nashville police
By Selim Algar
Now we know. What on earth was there that had to be hidden from the public for so long?
[NYPost] Nashville Police Chief John Drake confirmed the authenticity of writings attributed to school shooter Audrey Hale, as the city’s mayor ripped the fact they leaked to conservative commentator Steven Crowder.

Crowder published three hand written pages authored by Hale before she murdered six people, including three kids, at The Covenant School in March.

The materials indicated deep anti-white animus — especially towards those Hale, who was deeply troubled and identified as transgender, considered “privileged.”

The potential release of Hale’s full writings has caused controversy since the slayings.

#1  Sorry, given the amount of time for the leak.
It almost seems semi-planned and coordinated.

So yes I and I am sure others will always wonder if we will seeing the: WHOLE & REAL Manifesto, An the deleted Social Media Files, email comm's and SMS txt traffic before his name was released.

#6  I can understand the desire of the victims to move on and not be traumatized again by having this spill out again. Better to have released it all immediately as it was a single shooter who faced no charges in this life.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia voters ok with abortion
[NYT] Ohio voters approved a ballot measure enshrining a right to abortion in the state’s Constitution on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, continuing a series of wins for abortion-rights groups who have appealed directly to the public as they try to recover from the United States Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
A mentality that sort of all goes hand-in-hand with the recent Hamas infant cooking episode. Perhaps we shouldn't discuss that. They were only babies you know.
Issue 1, as the ballot measure is known, had become the country’s most-watched race in the off-year elections. Both parties are looking to gauge whether voter anger over the loss of the federal right to abortion might help Democrats in next year’s presidential and congressional races. National groups on both sides of the debate poured money into Ohio in recent weeks.

The victory in a conservative state is likely to help lift the hopes of abortion-rights groups pushing similar measures next year in red and purple states, including Arizona, South Dakota, Missouri and Florida.

"It’s not up to the government to decide what we do with our bodies," said Alissa Carver, 26, who lives outside Cincinnati and describes herself as an independent voter. "It’s for us to decide, it’s our experience."

Wendy Pace, a 52-year-old independent, said she didn’t normally vote in off-year elections, but came out because she wanted to vote "yes" on Issue 1. "I have a teenage daughter and I don’t like having my rights taken away from me," she said. "I fear that this is just the beginning of rights being taken away, and I do fear for my daughter and what her rights would be going forward."

#3  I was so frustrated with our local branch of the Republican party. Usually their website has a sample ballot and slate recommendation easily findable, but this election they only had on there information about the two state initiatives (abortion and marijuana). I ended up calling the group’s secretary at home to find that information — discovering she’d had cataract surgery only hours before — in order to find out who was running as a Republican. For some reason the group had decided not recommend any of the candidates, and therefore did no outreach — all we got was a few mailers about the state issues from the Ohio Republicans. And Butler County is majority-Republican!

The Butler County Democratic Party had a full slate on their site.

#4  But at any rate, this is an off year here, with no important races, so it was only people who really care about pot and abortion who turned out.

Also called 'laying out' in the South. I hope you are wrong Rex, but I fear you are not.

#8  Don't blame the voters. Where is the RNC? Where is McConnell? Given the current Dem disaster, they should have been flooding media for months. But no, they're too concerned with Orange Man Bad. Better to serve in Hell I guess - that's been GOP for decades.

#10  Why this obsession with killing babies?

And what "rights," aside from the "right" to kill a baby, are people like Wendy Page afraid of losing?
Posted by: Tom || 11/08/2023 10:39 Comments || Top||

#11  It's the right to kill people - period. One should notice the side which celebrates the killing of children around the world are currently defending the "right" of Hamas to continue killing Jews. Jews, babies, conservatives - they've a long list as demonstrated by a certain manifesto that was recently leaked.

#12  Yes. Anyone who doesn't get that the Left is the Dark Side doesn't get very much at all.

#13  It's is not about killing babies, it's about women (or any othe "victim" group) not having to face consequences - no matter how irresponsibly they behave.

Incedentally, it's the same about Gaza: "what Hamas did is terrible, and we condemn it, but ..."

#14  ^ 20th Century thinking - we're way past that now.

#15  We will need a personhood amendment to US Constitution to protect life from conception to natural death; it'd stop abortion and euthanasia too.

#16  ^ And drive leftists totally batshit crazy in the bargain. Ever wonder why all these advocates for death don't just off themselves if it's the answer to so many problems (or so they claim)?

#17  If Republicans want to lose elections... iirc single moms vote about ~80% for Democrats. Abortion is the way.
Posted by: mossomo || 11/08/2023 13:38 Comments || Top||

#18  Yeah, I guess if a person is a "single mom" who is afraid of having to raise her own no husband daughter's child or children later on, that would constitute "skin in the game."

#20  I worked the polls in a location where two NE Ohio precincts vote. The turnout was heavy. I saw many street names that I did not recognize as being in the precinct and many voters I did not recognize either. I have been assigned to this voting location consistently for two years so I recognize faces.
The Dems flooded the local sportscasts with propaganda about the purpose of the Amendment. They ran a pot initiative on the same ballot to notice more Dem voters to the polls. It was a good strategy well executed. While many Republicans care about the abortion issue, few in leadership truly care although they make sympathetic noises for pandering purposes. That is the reason for the lack of strategy and execution on the Pro-Life side. It was the Knights of Columbus versus the consensus of evil including big tech. The Pro-Life movement got bum rushed. The GOP spectated.

#21  My great concern is that on Judgement Day, saying "Well, I was opposed to it (abortion)" ain't gonna cut it.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Opulence on the Usk Big trout, royal quarters, and unforgettable hospitality are on deck at Glanusk Estate
[G&G] Glanusk Estate in South Wales has been in Harry Legge-Bourke’s family for three years shy of two centuries, and if Harry has anything to do with it, it is not changing hands anytime soon. He will be the first to admit that there may not be as much cash lying around to run the place in the manner to which it is accustomed as there was when his mother’s great-great-grandfather owned and operated one of the largest iron businesses in the world. But like more than a few of Great Britain’s landed gentry, Harry has, for the past fifteen years, helped the estate pay for itself by "doing hospitality." And for travelers, this is a very good thing indeed, since no one I have ever met does it better than Legge-Bourke, and nowhere I have ever visited is a more pleasant place for the doing of it than Glanusk.

Government Corruption
Taxpayers are subsidizing rich electric-vehicle owners ‐ to the tune of billions
[NYP] A new report has exposed electric vehicles as wasteful money pits, living up to the adage: If it seems too good to be true, it is.

EV proponents often claim they’re cheaper to own than conventional gas- or diesel-powered vehicles, but that’s simply not true after accounting for the billions of dollars in costs government subsidies and mandates quietly conceal.

The stark reality is the average EV costs at least $53,000 more over 10 years than conventional vehicles, effectively doubling the price of the average new car.

But $22 billion in government handouts to EV owners and manufacturers absorb the extra expense at every stage of the vehicle’s life, from raw-material sourcing to battery charging.

Examining the numbers behind recharging makes this very clear.

While EV advocates claim charging costs are equivalent to $1.21-per-gallon gasoline, the real amount is an order of magnitude more.

Including the charging equipment, subsidies from governments and utilities and other frequently excluded expenses, the true cost of charging an EV is equivalent to $17.33-per-gallon gasoline — but the EV owner pays less than 7% of that.

Over 10 years, almost $12,000 of costs per EV are transferred to utility ratepayers and taxpayers, effectively socializing the price of recharging an EV while keeping the benefits private.

Due to high entry price points — the average EV costs $58,000, the average gas vehicle $33,000 — most EV consumers are affluent.

‘Lost Any Control': Glenn Greenwald Tells Tucker Why Dems Are ‘Completely Petrified' Of Trump Victory In 2024
[Daily Caller] ournalist Glenn Greenwald told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on Tuesday that Democrats are "petrified" of a 2024 victory for former President Donald Trump, in part because Americans have lost "faith and trust" in institutions.

Greenwald joined Carlson on "Tucker on Twitter" to break down the turn corporate media has taken against President Joe Biden running for re-election next year. Greenwald stated that he believes the media is turning because of the support Trump has been receiving since announcing his run for 2024. (RELATED: ’The Contrast Is Pretty Clear’: CNN Reporter Throws Cold Water On Comparisons Between Trump, Biden’s Age)

"I think what they’re trying to do is to put pressure on the Democrats and Biden to say, ’look, you’re — this is serious now. Like it doesn’t seem like you have any chance of winning,’ in a last-ditch hope to try and convince Biden to step aside and the Democrats to force him to," Greenwald stated.

"Of course, the media is, I mean, completely petrified at the idea that Trump would win, even though part of them knows it will help their careers like it did the first time around. But they really are scared of Trump," Greenwald continued.

"They really view Trump as this ultimate menace."
