Exactly five years ago, Omar Mateen entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where he killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. AP now reports that Biden plans to name the nightclub as a national memorial standing for all targeted gay victims of gun violence – which outraged reporter Glenn Greenwald, who believes in facts.
We’ve known for years now why Mateen shot up the Pulse nightclub: He was committing a religious jihad. His goal was to shoot up a nightclub – any nightclub – as revenge for American airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Facts make it clear that he didn’t target Pulse because it was a gay nightclub; he targeted it because it was a crowded nightclub.
Nevertheless, that’s not how either the Democrats or the media (but I repeat myself) are selling the decision to establish Pulse as a memorial:
President Joe Biden said on the fifth anniversary of a mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that he will sign a bill naming the site as a national memorial.

The president emphasized that the country must do more to reduce gun violence, such as banning assault weapons and closing loopholes in regulations that enable gun buyers to bypass background checks. Biden said the nation must acknowledge that gun violence has hurt members of the LGBTQ community
“We must drive out hate and inequities that contribute to the epidemic of violence and murder against transgender women — especially transgender women of color,” Biden said.

The USA needs more Memorials to kicking Islamic butt.
He forgot to include: poor, underserved and struggling.
I would almost expect him to say “transgender birthing persons of color.”
You’re right. Well, maybe he hasn’t memorized the new language yet.

—I am unable to decide which is more detestable—this or the deification of George Floyd—
The President is a liar. Everybody knows it. The real problem here is that the people know that he is a liar and they are ok with that, because they love the lie. That is the quintessential essence of idolatry, and God will judge it.
I initially read it as the “defecation of George Floyd”. I like my version better.
Marden was a gay Muslim. They left that part out.
Was this ever declared an act of terror? Or ignored by the DHS-NSA-FBI-ATF since it was a (radical) Muslim who was shooting?
Don’t know if this has been posted, but Gov DeSantis was attacked for not mentioning homosexuals on Pulse Remembrance Day. Rewrote it to mention homosexuals and Latinos.

re post 10 by Maddog55, Shooter Omar Mateen was a radical Muslim but he was not gay. He had a wife and she helped him scope out the club and knew he was going to shoot the place up. The cops arrested her later but she wasn’t charged as she gave the feds details on Omar and some other Muslims, not involved but radicals.
The shooter was an ISIS supporter and chose a LGBT club to kill people that Muslims hate.
I think Marteen not being gay is up in the air:
