So initial reports from Nashville have an elementary school shooting with six dead including the shooter.

Of course the White House is playing politics as Democrats tend to do over these issues, with the gun grabbers being in full cry. Meantime, they have yet to even acknowledge the rather obvious point that schools get chosen for such events as a conscious matter. It is well known that there won’t be any opposition.

Thing is, I’ve been making that point for 20 years now and longer in these spaces. Others have been making the point for longer than that, and yet the gun grabbers refuse to acknowledge this.

There is another couple of points that explain a good deal about this event that the commentariat has been reluctant to touch on:

As the investigation was starting to unfold, one of the Fox News people was commenting that it was a little unusual for a woman to be so heavily armed. This tended to echo my thought; Something just didn’t add up.

Then of course we found out that this wasn’t a woman at all …that we were dealing with just somebody pretending to be a woman. Someone who “identified” as a woman. In almost the same breath, we find that this was not a government School but a Christian run School.

And at that point, much was explained.

This is the Nashville shooter.

Inevitably, the question then arose if we were dealing with some kind of mental illness. Personally, I would suggest that a mental illness is a lock sure bet.

I would suggest that this event, the deaths of those children, should be laid directly at the feet of those who insist that we normalize transsexuals instead of treating it as a mental issue, as we used to just a short while ago. Remembering, of course, that if something needs normalizing, it’s not normal.

Those kids in Nashville died because we refuse to learn that lesson.

Why?

I will leave you with this addendum… Children are dying in our cities all the time. It happens every single day.

Why does this case at least initially get the attention of the gun grabbers? Why is it that that attention wavered once the world began to realize the nature of the attacker?

This has never been about the lives of children, people. This has always been about control.

Someone passed me an article from the American Thinker, written by Geoffrey Hunt. Let’s just say I’m non-plussed.

Stubborn Trump supporters, especially the most fervent, seem unwilling to challenge the deedless covenant, ask the hard questions that if answered truthfully would confirm that Donald Trump has been a supreme letdown, and his failures — including the re-election debacle — self-inflicted.

Promises made, promises kept? Not when it mattered.

Hunt then goes on the list what he calls a number of Trump failures, inconvenient truths.

Hunt has some inconvenient truths that he needs to face, himself.. I’ve noted his establishment GOP tendencies in the past and they’re showing themselves again in this piece.

The problems we face today are not going to be solved by another establishment critter in the mold of a McCain, a Romney, a Bush, or a McConnel. The real inconvenient truth for Hunt and the anti-Trump establishment types is that they are as responsible as the moronic Democrats are for the problems we face today, and have a history of being the biggest roadblock to the Trump agenda, and are in fact a large part of the reason behind a lot of the failures Hunt lists.

Take Hunt’s comments about “easily overturned executive orders’. That those orders were exactly correct, is proven by their effectiveness while in place. But now, think; Does anyone truly believe that a legislative version of those orders would have made it past both houses of a Democrat run Congress? Or, for that matter, a Congress run by McConnell and Bohner?

I wrote this back in 2014 it still holds true today…

Some advise to the GOP leadership.
If you want to win elections, your strategy should not include what the Karl Roves of the world are telling you. I like Karl and respect him. But facts are facts. Such advice has lost you the last two elections, both of which should have been cake walks.

To win, ponder these points.

1. The number of people not voting is going up year over year. Its to the point now where the vast majority of Americans simply do not vote at all. Polling data tell us that the majority of Americans come down to the right of anything that either party has puked up since Reagan. That situation has become more pronounced over the last 6 years or so. So….Forget chasing the mythical political center. It doesn’t exist. Instead, go after those not voting. Give them someone to vote for.

2. Don’t let your opponents pick your candidate. Democrats, every year, give advice on who they would like to see running for President from the GOP. Such advice invariably gets played loud and often on the lapdog media. But I wonder a bit… Has it occurred to anyone in our erstwhile GOP leadership that they’re picking people that will be the easiest to beat, or at least, cause the least damage to the leftist mantra should such candidate by some miracle actually win? We let them pick the top of our ticket with Dole, McCain, Romney. The last time we didn’t take the left’s advice was in 1979/80. Do the math.

(Consider, too, that the GOP leadership of the time wasn’t too happy about Reagan running. I know. I was there in 1976. I saw it. How’d their pick work out that year?)

3. You have to nominate a TRUE conservative to win the Presidential election. If you are going to claim being the small governmentt party, you’d better actually BE that party. IE.. if you’re going to castigate the Democrat for his big government healthcare fiasco, you might want to make sure the guy at the top of your ticket didn’t write the majority of the bloody thing. Democrat lite ain’t gonna cut it, gang.

4. Don’t listen to the lamestream media lapdogs when the try to tell you why you lost. Same reasoning as number one. A look at our elections history, who has lost and who has won big, exposes their lies as such.

5. The conservative agenda needs to be properly explained and sold to minorities and single women. It does not need to be altered to make it valid to such people. It already IS valid. It needs to be pointed up what a disaster the left and its policies has been to minorities… what moving away from small government conservatism has done to them, and is still doing to them. As Charles Barclay says, poor people and minorities have been voting Democrat for generations… they’re still poor.

The way things stack up at the moment, we have two possible contenders for the GOP nomination. Trump, and DeSantis. To my mind, DeSantis has yet to demonstrate that he is not a establishment critter. We aren’t going to get the country back, by going with Democrat lite.

Regardless of the approval of Mr Hunt, that leaves us but one choice.

This is an interesting read about not only the impossibility of satisfying the environmentalists, the green new deal, etc, what about the degree of corruption that such nonsense pushes us to.

Susie’s got this one exactly right over at Red State:

The freedoms guaranteed by our Bill of Rights aren’t just foundational — they are fundamental to our survival as a nation. We know that. So why are so many on the left — including the legacy media — seemingly so hellbent on chipping away at them? The obvious answer is that there is something they value over and above these essential liberties — they may cloak it in terms of “safety,” but the inescapable conclusion is that it comes back to power. And speech that counters — or even just questions — their narrative poses a threat to that. So it must be squelched.

And they’re not even subtle about it anymore. Big Government has formed an unholy alliance with Big Tech and they’re trying six ways from Sunday to silence any dissent.

RedState and other right-leaning media have been pushing back and will continue to do so. But these latest developments demonstrate that this isn’t just about resistance from the right against the party in power. Even some on the center-left are waking up to these dangers. If ever there were a time to make a stand, this is it.

That’s a position that this blog has always taken and will never retreat from.

A sitting United States senator, particularly one in a leadership role, should be the last one to be calling for silencing a free press. But that’s what chuckles did the other day.

That alone should tell you that they are desperately afraid of the truth coming out.

It’s all falling apart now for the democrats. The entire j6 scenario that they tried to sell the American people is going down in flames.

The video seems at odds with the portrayal of Chansley’s conduct at the plea hearing and in the government’s case. And the video, of course, was not complete as to everything he did that day, but it did seem inconsistent. Surely the feds had turned it over to Chansley’s defense prior to him making the decision to plead guilty—the weight of the government evidence is one of the things any defendant would consider. And certainly the defense counsel knew about the video to argue for a lighter sentence, and the Judge knew as well, right? Well tonight Chansley’s attorney was on Tucker, and he denied that the video was ever turned over to the defense:Well, go and read the whole thing. Put be aware that you have been lied to about every aspect of this case. They withheld evidence that didn’t match their narrative.

If something needs to be normalized, it’s not normal.

Have you ever noticed that the majority of the people that are screaming about how the world is overpopulated, live in the big city? Kind of makes you wonder if they’re seeing the big picture, doesn’t it?

It all makes much more sense when you realize that you are the carbon they’re trying to reduce.

When government runs healthcare, every healthcare decision is political.

Enforced equality of outcome requires a total lack of freedom.

Every great country, every great culture in world history has had a religion at its philosophical center.

America as such could never have been founded with Islam as its philosophical center, nor Buddhism, nor any of the pantheistic religions, nor atheism.

America most certainly would not exist as such without Martin Luther and his concept of the sovereignty of the individual.

The more we move away from those foundations, the more we get into problems.

Isn’t it interesting how we have such a hard time eliminating child porn from the internet? And yet we don’t seem to have all that much of a problem deplatforming, blocking and in fact prosecuting anyone who dares to question the actions of government regarding covid-19, Southern border security, inflation, the Biden crime family, and so on?

Your feelings are largely irrelevant.

You cannot be whatever you want to be.

Gender studies are complete waste of time money and effort.

You cannot change your sex. (Again, your feelings are largely irrelevant.)

The idea that you have a right to something simply because you exist is complete hogwash.

You have the absolute right to live as you please within those boundaries, assuming that it infringes on nobody else’s rights. You do not have the right to demand everyone else accept your choice.

If you live in the United States you’re already in the 1%.

Government cannot create anything. The only thing it can do is impede creativity.

Government cannot give you anything without stealing it from someone else, and will invariably keep some of it for itself, in that process.

The long list of notables thought to be the smartest guys in the room includes Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Casto, Maduro, Obama, and following their lead into oblivion seemed like a good idea at the time.

Wow… Reality.

What a concept!!!

It’s time that the Democrats were held responsible for the increased prices on everything of late. They are the ones that caused it. The war on oil was merely the opening salvo.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning. Jonathan Turley takes it a step further:



The Wall Street Journal reports that the Energy Department has concluded that the COVID pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak. The conclusion is reportedly based on a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. Many will be exploring why the scientific evidence of a lab leak was so slow to emerge from intelligence agencies.


I guess my first question is why are we hearing about this through the energy department? After all, the energy department is not exactly the first place I’d look for information about a virus. That’s kind of like our erstwhile transportation secretary worrying about racism at construction sites.


I guess with all the White House directed shutdown of energy supplies, the energy department doesn’t have a whole bunch to do anymore.

Anyway; read the whole thing.


I will only add that it appears now that Justice for those perpetrating this fraud as well as Justice for those originally arranging for this virus being created is out of our reach. By the time we get enough information to work on everybody involved will have been dead for 75 to 100 years, rather like the JFK murder…. Which domestically speaking involved many of the same organizations.

Of course, the question now becomes how many of the current questions about the CIA the doj etc and their political activities are being hidden from us? And, why?

Eric Florack on March 1st, 2023

And of course the reason that she lost is we are all racists and sexists and bigots. It is absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with her tragically laughable performance in office.

Of course, she seems to forget that the people that rejected her at the polls yesterday are by and large the same ones that elected her a few very long years ago.

(addendum… Her entire statement is rendered laughable in light of who it is she lost to.)

I’d like to think that she’ll be serving Big Macs pretty quick. On the other hand, I don’t know if I trust her enough with them to buy one.
