Kosh, I saw your message at the end of the day. Let's just say work gets in the way of so many good things, shall we? 

Let's start today with a good shower and then dive into the news.

Another Train Carrying Hazardous Materials Derails. What’s Going On?

I read weeks and weeks ago that there was a group intentionally trying to derail the trains, but I haven't heard anything about this lately. Is this another news blackout? I want to say it was an anarchist group doing it, but I don't recall enough to be sure on that.

The ‘Population Explosion’ Myth Blows Up

And even if the world's population had gone up, the UN had determined that it would top out at 10 trillion and would have been okay. But even that's not happening.

Meet the Young Attorney Who May Have Saved Kari Lake’s Election Challenge

This is actually quite interesting, especially this quote: 

Heath relied on Reyes v. Cuming, a 1997 Arizona case involving similar circumstances, where voters’ signatures on the ballot envelopes were not compared to the voter registration list, which violated a non-technical statute so the court held it was material. Strangely, the Reyes case was mysteriously suppressed from legal research, so it was almost impossible to find until Heath stumbled on it. 

How is stuff blocked from legal research? Is there a legal equivalent to Lexus-Nexus that has an edited index to remove the reference?

and so far from what I’m seeing, the MSM is, of course, burying that information in like the 15th paragraph of their reporting about the story.  

I suspect that if and when the killer’s “manifesto“ becomes public, that’s going to be harder to do.

this looks to be an anti-Christian hate crime, perpetrated by a “trans“ activist fanatic.

Possibly, but there could be a lot of things involved in this that we know nothing about. And I have a feeling that it may never see the light of day unless an Andy Ngo-type reporter digs hard to find it.

I didn't get a chance to go back and look at that whole scene. Did he ever actually do the prayers and condolences shtick, and after the ice cream bragging?

Nashville police already have publicly stated that the killer left a "manifesto".  It's going to be hard to memory-hole this.

He did the gun-grabbing schtick. 

His bizarre intro about how much he loves ice cream has been (it seems) edited out of DeMSM versions of the address.  Note that the assembled "journalists" chortled along with Biden's bizarre ice cream-related intro, instead of gasping in shock at the inappropriateness of it, or at least greeting it with stunned silence.

What will Brandon et. al. propose with repeated "issues" with the grid and rail infrastructure?

Nationalization.

Of course, the Progs could really try to grab the brass ring by attempting to make a trans-martyr out of the Covenant School killer.

There's been a lot on NPR recently about it being 20 years since the Iraq war began, and about how Congress is talking about repealing the authorizing resolution it passed back then.

This, in turn, reminded me of how the Democrats, particularly during the Obama years, went on and on about how "the Iraq war was the Bad War, but the incursion in Afghanistan is the Good War"---or at least "necessary." 

Everyone knew, of course, that they were lying---they opposed both---but that pretending to support the military in Afghanistan made them able to claim they were for the military and national defense, and against jihadis and radical Islam. Biden's thoroughly-botched Afghanistan withdrawal pulled the fig leaf off that lie, but by then there was nothing to be done.

I mention this because this tactic of pretending to support one thing to cover for the overall agenda is relevant to two current issues.  For years, the anti-fossil fuel lobby has been dumping on oil and coal, but natural gas was the "clean" fossil fuel, and therefore OK---even though the fracking that was making natural gas abundant is something they've consistently opposed.  Now, however, the Leftist jihad against gas stoves and heating is the "Afghanistan withdrawal" of the fuel debates---it has ripped the fig leaf off the lie that they support even the cleanest fossil fuel.  

Likewise, in the current debate over "banning TikTok," the sudden vocal opposition to such banning by AOC is a feint to drive legislators who might balk at the sweeping powers such a ban would give to the federal government towards supporting it.  The Democrats know that Republicans and even some Democrats with vestigial conservative ganglia despise AOC for the idiot she is; her opposition is a ploy to engender reflexive support for a measure which screams of government overreach.

It's Ramadan!

It's the most bloodthirsty time of the year!

While devout Muslims fast they'll send bombers to blast any infidels near

It's the most bloodthirsty time of the year!

Each year at a different time it befalls

With a calendar that's lunar which they know the kuffar won't follow at all

Each year at a different time it befalls

They'll all fast through the daytime

But at nightfall the gay time 

Starts with feasting that lasts through the night

And if they should choose to fix

Up some jihadi tricks

The Koran tells them that it's all right

It's the most bloodthirsty time of the year

Flying limbs and beheadings infidels are dreading 

And the jihadis savor that fear

It's the most bloodthirsty time of the year

They'll all fast through the daytime

But at nightfall the gay time 

Starts with feasting that lasts through the night

And if they should choose to fix

Up some jihadi tricks

The Koran tells them that it's all right

It's the most bloodthirsty time of the year

Flying limbs and beheadings infidels are dreading 

And the jihadis savor that fear

It's the most bloodthirsty time 

Yes, the most bloodthirsty time

Oh, the most bloodthirsty time

Of the year!

The anti-gun crowd often derides firearm ownership as a "phallic-symbol substitute" for masculinity.  One wonders whether, in this case, that might (for once) have some validity, given that the shooter was a wannabee-male female who lacked the distinctively-male attribute that the anti-gun crowd often equates to firearms.

I note that you can hear the cops hyperventilating, particularly at the end. It brings to mind the importance of training, training, training. In a situation like that, your body is going to rebel against you in some ways, the adrenaline dump will not be your friend in terms of sound gunfighting. It takes training to overcome that.

Good work. They went hard and fast, clearing spaces ad getting to the shooter. Proving the hard lessons about how to react to an active shoorter.

In the comments at the OR's body cam link.... (paraphrased) "why is their sexuality relevant"..... because mental state of the shooter is relevant.

Reuters headlined the story with "Former Christian School Student kills Three ..." Assholes.

The manifesto will likely be leaked.  

The thought I had this morning was this:  if it turns out that this woman was hopped up on male hormones, the parents should sue the doctors and drug manufacturers.  It won't go anywhere, but it will put some pressure on this.  I've said it many times, but this current blight will not end until the medical establishment decide that it is not worth it financially to push transism.
