Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
This is the cancer the political left represents in our country. – After another tragic mass shooting took place in El Paso early Saturday afternoon, Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit reports that leftwing activists discovered the shooter had a profile page on “MyLife.com” on which he listed himself as a “registered Democrat.” Within an hour after the shooting had made the news, these activists had gone into his page and changed pretty much every element of his profile, including his party affiliation to “Republican.”
The new profile also now says he was a disciple of “Qanon,” “INCEL” and a conspiracy theorist, which of course conveniently matches him right up with the profile we learned this week that the FBI is now trying to have defined as a potential domestic terrorist. The same activists for some reason initially changed his ethnicity from “Caucasian” to “African American,” and then later went back in one more time to correct that idiotic error.
Folks, this kind of craven activity is a sickness, every bit the mental illness that the shooter was obviously suffering from. Luckily, these activists were caught in the act, but you can still be sure that talking heads on CNN and MSNBC will use the fraudulent profile page they created to claim the shooter was a Republican who was motivated to commit his heinous act by President Trump. Because those talking heads are also mentally deranged people who will do and say anything for political gain.
The politicians the activists support are, if anything, even worse. Within minutes of the shootings going public, pretty much every candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination had issued near-identical tweets ignoring the shooter’s obvious mental illness and claiming gun control was the only “solution” to the issue of mass shoootings. The most craven opportunist among them was failed South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who issued this despicable tweet:
Pete Buttigieg ✔ @PeteButtigieg America is under attack from homegrown white nationalist terrorism. That ideology is evil. It is being condoned at the highest levels of our government. And today it inspired a gunman to claim at least 20 lives in #ElPaso.
Enough is enough. We have an obligation to act.

At a joint press conference held late in the afternoon, El Paso congresswoman Veronica Escobar made faces and shook her head repeatedly behind Governor Gregg Abbott’s back as he pointed to the real problem: Mental illness and the de-institutionalization of the dangerously mentally ill that took place during the 1960s and 1970s. When a member of the press saw Escobar’s antics and directed a question to her, she offered a non-answer in which she pontificated about guns and then promised that she and her Democrat colleagues would issue a “strong statement” later in the evening.
Democrats are now incapable of even presenting a united front in the face of mass tragedy, because their narrative does not allow them to do so. That’s a sickness. That is a mental illness.
This mental illness of protecting the narrative now even extends to local law enforcement. Because the El Paso shooter is a white male who meekly surrendered and who conveniently has his own “manifesto” that was somehow immediately released to the press, his identity was revealed to the public within moments of the shootings.
Late last night, another gunman used a high-power rifle to shoot up a bar in Dayton, Ohio. He apparently doesn’t have a ready-made “manifesto” or an easily-faked “MyLife” page, and probably also isn’t a white male since, as of this writing fully 8 hours after he committed his atrocity, local law enforcement officials are completely mum on any details of his identity.
When the facts don’t fit the narrative, it takes a little more time to get the story and talking points together, right? Right.
This is a sickness. It is a mental illness brought to us by the radical political left. And it, more than any other factor, is why our society is continuing to progress inexorably down the sad, tragic road to a second civil war.
The truth about this 21 year-old El Paso shooter is that, at some point during his early teens (if his “manifesto” is to be believed) he developed a sick, irrational hatred of Hispanics. On Saturday, he acted on that hatred, driving 650 miles from his upper-middle-class home in Allen, Texas to El Paso to carry out his demented mission.
The seeds of this act will not be found in politics – his “manifesto” clearly lays out his radical progressive political views, including his advocacy of pet leftist policies like universal healthcare and universal income – but in mental illness. As the days go on we will no doubt find out that he had serious issues in school, most likely was identified as a problem by his teachers and school officials, and had trouble socializing with other students. We will also almost certainly find out that local law enforcement in Allen was aware of his issues. But no one was able to take any real action to get him the proper care he really needed because of idiotic policies forced on our schools and law enforcement officials by the federal government.
In other words, it will be the same story we have seen so many times before, from places like Parkland and Columbine and Sandy Hook and on and on and on. At this point, this is all so predictable – it’s the same story over and over again.
But because of our national political sickness, we are never allowed to deal with the real problem at hand, because the real problem at hand does not fit the narrative that leftist politicians and their baggage-carriers in our fake news media prefer. That narrative mandates that guns – the inanimate objects involved – are the problem and the only problem that needs to be addressed.
So long as that narrative dominates in our society, these mass shootings will continue. It really is that simple.
That is all.

Two mass shootings in 20 hours at a crucial juncture in the presidential campaign....I may be cynical, but could these shootings be a coordinated effort to oust Trump and bring on gun confiscation? The anti Trump forces are despirate and insane enough to use these false flag events to accomplish Trumps defeat and push banning of guns. Orchestrated mass murder is not beyond this crowd
Personally, I think the rise of the 24 x 7 news and commentary on television/cable has contributed in a very big way to the divisions in society and the increase in violence. That, and the use of ‘divide and conquer’ politics - which is an absolute mainstay of the Democrats (and for which they use broadcast media as a soapbox).
Think about how many times you have watched something on the news or commentary, including idiots like Chris Matthews, Don Lemon, etc., and felt angry. Of course, most of us are fortunate enough and mature enough to be able to keep things in perspective and not go off the deep end. That said, even if it’s a very small percentage of our population, there are those who will be influenced by this to the point they will act on it.
Interesting. When I was a detective we had access to databases, LexisNexis-ChoicePoint- a couple of others that I can’t remember, to look up information on folks. Basically, these companies purchased all your information from utilities, court system, DMV, anything or anyone that had your info. And then it was a matter of data entry. Actually quite scary what you could access and what they sold to these companies.
And, of course, if you challenged anything they’re response was bascially...once you give us your information, it becomes our information...and they could do what they wanted with it. If you want to opt out, as the celebrity types do, they have to pay a sizeable fee for that.
But, the thing w/ MyLife is, if what is being said is true, then who’s doing the changing? Does MyLife employ some radical Leftists trying to sway public opinions within moments of events like this? If so, it’s pretty crazy and unnerving how much the radical Left has its hooks in so much.
“Registered Democrat “.
Just thought I’d throw this out. In Texas one is not required to register as a democrat or a republican.
Anything and everything related to this individual has been doctored, cooked, re-written, erased and or falsified.
Well worth reading - thanks for posting!
If I had kids in school, I’d be enrolling them in online classes this year. It appears that the socialist dems have a big school shooting year planned leading up to the 2020 elections. Keep your kids safe at home.
See link at post 27 of this thread. Unless you already saw the post.
Gun free zones are the problem 85% of the time. Can't fix crazy without identifying them and locking them up. Meanwhile we are being invaded by criminals from crime ridden countries. What could possibly go wrong?
As the Democrats rush to the nearest microphone to react... we soon learn (as always) their political calculus sees no benefit in actually blaming the perpetrators of these crimes.
But because of our national political sickness, we are never allowed to deal with the real problem at hand,
Because of the evil nature of man these things have happened through out history and will continue to happen.
No bueno .... no bueno at all. This country is so f*cked.
I just got to mine by saying I was me and paying $1 on a credit card. No real attempt to verify that it really was me editing the profile.
Liberal. Little children that cannot control themselves.
Apparently the easy answer is to collect 300 million guns from law abiding citizens. Just in case. Certainly a couple or 3 of them MIGHT be used criminally.
I’m trying to get on right now. Might because of where I am in the world, but this stuff has me curious.
Think of it this way: The shooter doesn’t believe he did the shooting. He has been taught since birth that he has a mental illness and he cannot control what he does. The mental illness makes him do things.
The shooters are telling the police right now that they didn’t do the shooting. Their OCD/Anxiety/Depression/BPD/PTSD did the shooting.
Mass media deserves no credibility.
Hell if I know. But if there’s a scintilla of truth to that, then there truly are some scary folks out there that will do anything to politicize and use this tragedy to push their agenda.
