In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning the gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

In the days leading up to the slaughter, Dorgan posted on X, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.”

But no one was bashing him.

That response was aimed at actor Kevin Sorbo posting on X that trans Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride is actually a man, which is the truth.

Truth is important, and trans people have been lied to long enough.

That truth is considering “bashing” is much of the issue when we try to have a realistic discussion about transgenderism.

Musk is a mystery to me.

He is rabidly anti-woke and anti-transing kids as they got one of his.

So I can’t explain how he lets Grok be that way. I guess he is so busy he can’t check on what his underlings are doing with its programming.

Anyone would go berserk after turning themselves into a freak show and then finding out that no one else wants to have anything to do with you and worse yet being faced with a reality that there is no way back to normal.

Well said!!

These people are already dealing with social issues and their last resort is to try to reinvent themselves into an imaginary solution to their problem. Then when they realize it doesn't work that way, they lash out at everyone else. Where are their shrinks??

Truth is never excepted by some and they are the most dangerous ones to the public.

“Grok is woke and it’s hard to believe Elon hasn’t done something about it.”

AI searchers for the most part have no concept of what is true and what is not true: they just compile the dogma du jour they find, which in way too many cases is an onslaught of leftist garbage ... it’s mostly a classic case of garbage-in-garbage-out ...

occasionally, though, there does seem too be a bit of editorializing at the end of their presentations, such as, “oh, yeah, red meat is bad.” kinds of statements when asked certain kinds of nutrition questions ...

The Waffen-SS (”Armed SS”) was the combat branch of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary Schutzstaffel (SS). Formed by Hitler as an independent force under Heinrich Himmler, it evolved from 1930s bodyguard units into a massive military organization. It was deeply involved in war crimes and atrocities during World War II.

Transgender IS a mental disease. All examples of gender dysphoria are, including homosexuality.

Gender dysphoria is a reaction to injury of the reproductive system, which interferes with its function, viz. reproduction.

It's very much like, for example, polycystic kidney, which interferes with renal function, or Addison's disease, which interferes with adrenal function, or coronary arteriosclerosis, which interferes with cardiac function, et al.

We’ve had a major mental health crisis ever since Reagan allowed the left to convince him to close the asylums.

I don’t remember this being a problem before the 1970s when the mental hospitals were closed and the crazies let loose on the streets. Then it became a problem.

First time I heard of such a thing as trannies was the 1972 robbery and hostage situation at a Chase Manhattan branch in Brooklyn, trying to get money for a sex change operation. Made into the movie DOG DAY AFTERNOON.

***The War Against Boys have come to its full extent.***

I remember when this began in 1968 with the murder of Bobby Kennedy by a Palestinian immigrant, and the following hysteria about “violence”.
Blame was put on... guns, tv shows, movies, comic books, pulp book covers, and MASCULINITY IN BOYS.
So, guns were regulated, TV shows dumbed down to kiddie shows, comic books calmed down for a while, pulp fiction changed the covers, movies dropped the Hays Code for a “ratings system and released the most vile movies ever made,

But boys in schools were to be given drugs to make them less masculine AND MORE FEMININE.
Glad I graduated in 1964 before this nonsense began.

California democrat governors before and after Reagan did the same. No one gets a “pass” on closing the mental hospitals. They need too be reopened pronto!

The media, as usual, will try to convince us that this was a "woman" - and that this was a "random act."

Trans violence is epidemic and escalating:

BFFD0204 532A 44C1 8535 3893D413ECD8

Add it to the list:

- Tumbler Ridge shooter was transgender.

- Annunciation Catholic Church shooter identified as trans

- Nashville Christian shooter identified as trans

- Lakewood Church shooter identified as trans

- Colorado Springs shooter identified as non-binary

- Denver shooter identified as trans

- Aberdeen shooter identified as trans

- Iowa high school shooter trans activist

- Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson had a furry obsession and lived with transgender boyfriend

- Trump’s attempted assassin Thomas Crooks used they/them pronouns, had a deep interest in furries, and was exploring gender identity.

It's not on Reagan.

In the mid-1960s a Medicaid provision prohibited reimbursement to states for mental illness treatment in facilities that had more than sixteen beds. States then closed their large mental hospitals in order to get 50% reimbursement from Medicaid for out-patient treatment.
