Call Me By My Dead Name?

I’m not the first, and I surely won’t be the last, to ask:

After lecturing us incessantly over pronouns and transgender names, why were the media in lockstep dead naming and misgendering (by persistent use of she/her pronouns) Nashville school shooter Aiden Hale?

What? Only 60%?

Jonathan Turley reported on an interesting poll about college students and their fear of openly speaking their minds, especially in classrooms.

The Buckley annual survey found that almost 60 percent of college students fear sharing an opinion in classrooms or on campuses. That tracks other polls by different groups.  Yet, colleges and universities continue to exclude Republican and conservative faculty members and maintain environments of speech intolerance.The poll shows a sharp increase from just last year with 63% reporting feeling intimidated in sharing opinions different than their peers. That is almost identical to the 65 percent found in other polls.

You’re a Regular Riot, Pocahontas!

This is the sort of thing that absolutely cannot be made up. Here’s Elizabeth Warren, aka Pocahontas, weighing in on Elon Musk’s plan to return free speech to Twitter:

Transgender Accused Assassin?

The person arrested for plotting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh was revealed, based upon court records, to have planned to kill at least three Supreme Court justices in order to “change the votes for decades to come …”

Hodgepodge of News

A hodgepodge of stories that stood out recently. First, the Republican campaign flyers just write themselves, don’t they?

Because the story was sourced to a single person–an OB-GYN who is active in pro-abortion politics–many citizens, some politicians, and even some in the mainstream media were skeptical.

Not Unique but Quite Curious

Robert E. Crimo III, 21 years old, has been arrested as a “person of interest” in the mass shooting yesterday in Highland Park, IL.

Why Red Flag Laws Won’t Work

After the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, TX, an allegedly “bipartisan” group of legislators are trying to come up with new gun laws to, in their minds, stop such incidents. Among their ideas: “red flag laws” at the state and federal levels.

Happy Halloween Weekend

You know what? I don’t give a bat’s nether regions whether or not Halloween “marginalizes” anyone. It’s fun. It’s nostalgic. It’s at least a quasi-religious holiday that has special meaning to many. As such, it deserves respect. Halloween also has cultural connotations for certain ethnic groups and cultures. As such, it deserves respect–as much as Juneteenth, Ramadan, MLK Day, Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, Diwali, and many other holidays, memorials, or celebrations. This, after all, is America, the melting pot of the world.

Thank You, Dave!

Comedian Dave Chappelle is not only funny but he’s also got particular insight into the female psyche. At least this female’s psyche.

I’ve been saying for a long time that much of the transgender “movement” is offensive to women but that nobody seems to care when this particular historically oppressed group (women) are offended.
