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.

I see it that they say, “Well, they deserved it!”
I see liberals like I see a 7 year old little girl. What would a 7 year old little girl say? Same mentality, but at least a little girl is just a child. Liberals should know better.
I hate to be the tinfoil hat person, here, but.....
Anyone hearing:
witnesses saying that there was more than one shooter?
he had one magazine on him, 26 killed/20 wounded? Possible? Yes, with over penetration. Likely? Have no idea.
pictures show him wearing cargo pants in the store...wearing plain khaki’s on the way out?
PSA....I”m just asking. I’m not in the States. So, I don’t have access to any of the news feeds other than whats on the internet. Putting those questions out there, to FR, as I believe that most of the folks on here tend to be a little ahead of the power curve.
Our policy about crazy people is based on one book and one movie.
The book is Thomas Szasz’s The Myth of Mental Illness.
The movie is Jack Nicholson’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Well I love Blackmon but he doesn’t get the real point which is that these crazies are picked out and pointed in the right direction by the deep state. Notice how there are always immediate reports of a second shooter which then quickly die even with multiple eye witnesses. That’s the FBI agent/handler who always gets to go home at night.
Notice how these always come in threes? Garlic festival, mall shooting and bingo Dayton. Do not get sucked into believing this stuff just happens organically.
They used to be sent "over the top" into a hail of machine gun fire. Any who hesitated and/or refused were summarily executed by either war police and/or officers.
War, plague, pestilence and famine used to keep the human population in check. The bald ape literally breeds like rabbits; with no effective predator extant.
The advent of nuclear weapons and other forms of WMD have rendered large-scale population cleansing efforts moot. So, the extremely dysfunctional & defective, equipped with access to rapid fire arms is able to wreak its vengeance on society at large.
How it's managed/controlled I don't really know; perhaps gene therapy and or DNA analysis?
They are a victim of their psychosis. I constantly hear “I can’t stop doing something. It’s just not possible”. He had to shoot those people. He had no choice.
1. Key objective of DS is to disarm US population;
2. Mass shootings help move electorate towards the illusion of safety ie 'gun control';
3. Losers, psychos, defectives abound - see comment above;
4. Some may be directly managed, but a more plausible scenario is that of a farmer awaiting the harvest - it will eventually come.
So, the DS simply waits for the inevitable incident, and can either release it's store of prepared materials. Or if it doesn't fee the narrative, keep it under wraps.
The key take away is that the common citizen is considered an enemy threat to the DS - he/she must be disarmed. All else flows from this basic premise.
Perhaps we as a people will grow to consider incidents like Warmart as just another skirmish in a long civil war. Tragic yes, but 100s were killed every single day in WWI without any battle at all. No one wept for them, because it was understood what the larger objectives were.
Obvious deep state is trying to stop Trump from winning. It’s another deep state assault against whites.
Because of the horror stories the idea was to replace them with smaller residentially-based institutions. However, this would necessarily cost more money. Placing lots of mental patients in the same facility where they could be managed by relatively few people was always going to cost less than distributing them in something like halfway houses in neighborhoods.
But if there was never enough funding for the mental patients in large institutions, there was going to be even less for those in distributed locations. And besides, NIMBY means that each location would have to be fought for in the courts tooth and nail as no one would want one of these halfway houses in their neighborhood.
So we end up with thousands of homeless, a large percentage of which either suffer from addiction or mental issues.
Add to this the notion that every adult should be able to make their own decisions, regardless of how mentally unstable they are, and you get a recipe for the disasters we are currently suffering.
The solution is simple, but politically unattainable.
Just another government sponsored kill zone.
Biking at the gym. 9mm with spare mags in bag hanging off the bike.
I am beginning to believe that the Left/AuntieFayes are making use of “suicide bombers” with rifles and pistols instead of bombs. It is entirely plausible because the kind of fanaticism evinced by those folks should produce suicide-for-the-cause just as it does for Mohammedans and did for Communists a century ago.
The mentally ill are the dems constituency.
GOOD for you!!! You are one smart cookie - now, everyone needs to think like that!
I do think that anti-immigrant shootings are going to become more common until the Congress does its job and controls the border. Assuming this guy really was reacting to immigration, I think this battle may be entering a dangerous new phase.
Thought he killed Whites also.
Yepper! That's who their solid base is. Radicalized mentally ill socialist demonRats.
“....Had enough. Seen enough.
The wife and I applied for our Concealed Carry permits on Friday.
Going gun shopping today. Something small and inconspicuous.
I always figured this could never happen to me.
Now I am going to make sure it doesn’t....”
Yep. My wife and I are right there with ya. Been there, done that. We were at where you are today but only several years ago. My conceal carry weapon is inconspicuous, but has 15-rounds with one always in the tube ready to go. Plus, I carry another magazine with me at all times. Plus, two more mags always stored in the truck. Both of us have CrimsonTrace lasers mounted on em. We spend a great deal of time at the range to keep up our muscle memory and eye coordination. I also used to shoot USPSA competition mostly for the adrenaline rush.
We’ve now reached the point where we either totally avoid or completely “ignore” the so-called “gun free zones”. Yeah, I know all about law-abiding etc. They can all go kiss my azz. It’s utter nonsense and moronic. Like I said: either avoid or ignore em. Concealed is concealed and it stays that way. IF/When the SHTF, I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Mass shootings will continue because there are a multitude of mentally deranged people who should be summarily and publicly executed for their crimes. And until that policy is implemented, these killings, like those condoned by the proponents of abortion, will continue. Life’s always cheap in uncivilized countries.
NONE of them has ever up shot up a crowd of people.

And your conclusion based on that is what? That the shooters are NOT mentally ill?
