Transgender shooter Audrey Hale opened fire on the Covenant School in Nashville at 10.30am on Monday, killing Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney and Evelyn Dieckhaus during her rampage at the school.

Tuesday, FNC host Tucker Carlson reacted to what he deemed evidence of the so-called transgender movement becoming increasingly “militant” and “possibly dangerous” after three minors and three adults were allegedly killed by a transgender person earlier this week in Nashville. Carlson described the movement as the “mirror image” of Christianity, making it the religion’s enemy. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: It was just last week that we noticed that parts of the transgender movement seemed to be getting militant and possibly dangerous. We did a whole segment about it on Thursday night. That segment was sparked by an NPR segment we...

A 2022 study found that youth who identify as transgender are at the highest risk of “violent radicalization.” The study, titled “Meaning in Life, Future Orientation and Support for Violent Radicalization Among Canadian College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” explored the extent to which different demographics were open to violent radicalization. The abstract explains, “The COVID-19 pandemic has increased levels of uncertainty and social polarization in our societies, compromising young people’s capacity to envision a positive future and maintain a meaningful sense of purpose in life.” It also goes on to say: Within a positive youth development framework, the present...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Hallie Jackson Now,” host and NBC News Senior Washington Correspondent Hallie Jackson stated that in the wake of the Nashville school shooting, conservative Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are “pivoting” “from changing gun laws” to “anti-trans rhetoric or to calling this a hate crime against Christians.” While discussing the prospect of federal gun control legislation passing in Congress in the wake of the Nashville shooting and opposition to further gun control measures by Republicans in Congress with NBC News Senior National Political Reporter Sahil Kapur, Jackson said, “The conversation is pivoting too, when...

Black Californians are owed $800 billion for reparations due to generations of over-policing, disproportionate incarceration and housing discrimination, according to economists who are working with the state panel considering the payments. A previous model, announced earlier this month, estimated that $640 billion would be due in payments to black residents in the Golden State. In their report, the consultants suggest the state task force 'err on the side of generosity' and consider a down-payment with more money to come as more evidence becomes available.

The Digital Iron Curtain: How the RESTRICT Act Threatens to Devastate Privacy and Crush Free Speech OnlineThis is going way past banning TikTok.In an era where the world has become more Orwellian than Orwell himself could have ever imagined, it should come as no surprise that the US government is once again attempting to expand its stranglehold on individual liberty. Enter Senate Bill 686, also known as the Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act (RESTRICT Act). Far from being the limited TikTok ban it purports to be, the RESTRICT Act represents an unprecedented...

The spokesperson for Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs reportedly resigned Wednesday after posting a threat against “transphobes” just hours after a transgender individual shot up a Christian elementary school in Nashville.

The transgender movement pushed hostile and apocalyptic rhetoric leading up to the deadly shooting of a Christian school by a transgender person in Nashville, Tennessee. Before Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender, carried out a shooting on Nashville, Tennessee’s Covenant Christian Academy, the transgender movement embraced increasingly hostile rhetoric. A video of transgender activist Kayla Denker, who goes by “Pinko Scum,” shows him loading and racking an AR-15, with a caption that reads “while advocating for trans people to ‘arm ourselves’ is not any of a solution to the genocide we’re facing …if you transphobes do try to come for...

"This is why I cry, I suppose, when I see the faces of the two officers. These officers are there for me, and for you, just as we had always wanted to believe. We believed that the police exist to serve and protect us, not The Narrative. Today, they did that, without hesitation or apology. And we were allowed to see it play out."

Texas authorities in El Paso discovered a stash house with 23 migrants and an underworld shrine worshiped by drug traffickers inside, officials said Tuesday. Special agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety found the home Monday while working on Operation Lone Star, a border initiative started by Texas to curb human smuggling. The home was being managed by a U.S. citizen originally from Mexico, the agency said. Also inside the home was an elaborate Santa Muerte shrine, which shows a female skeletal figure wearing a long robe with a scythe in one hand and the world in another. The...

With the passage of time, our body’s repair systems break down; nasty glitches accumulate in our DNA and proteins, metabolism stutters, and cells stop dividing. We are all on a slippery slope to the grave, but research in worms, flies, mice, and monkeys shows that there is nothing inevitable about how fast we slide. Dietary and lifestyle changes – and, perhaps, anti-aging drugs – can slow aging and boost our span of healthy years. A new discovery suggests that a protein in the brain may be a switch for controlling inflammation and, with it, a host of symptoms of aging....

[Catholic Caucus] Bp. Strickland: German bishops are ‘abandoning the faith’ by approving same-sex ‘blessings’On this week's episode of The Bishop Strickland Show, Bishop Joseph Strickland calls out the German bishops for their 'foolish' vote approving same-sex 'blessings' and describes what real Christian compassion is, as opposed to the 'false compassion' of the German bishops. His Excellency laments the fact that “too few” voices among Church leadership are actively speaking out against the approval of same-sex “blessings,” which passed by a 38-9 vote that also included a whopping 12 abstentions.“In the greatest compassion — Jesus Christ is compassion — we have...

“Those materials show that the Marshals likely didn’t make any arrests because they were actively discouraged from doing so,” Britt said. The training materials told the Marshals “to avoid, unless absolutely necessary, any criminal enforcement action involving the protestors.” Marshals were also told, “Making arrests and initiating prosecutions is not the goal of the [Marshal Service] presence at SCOTUS residences.” “The ‘not’ is actually italicized and underlined,” Britt noted. The training materials said the protestors might have “a First Amendment right” to protest at the homes even though, you know, Section 1507 prohibits doing so.

Hillary Clinton's former aides say they can't enjoy watching her 2016 presidential campaign rival Donald Trump face legal problems, even after he threatened to jail Clinton if he won that election. Trump could be charged soon for his alleged role in a hush-money payment to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels about their alleged affair ahead of his winning presidential bid against Clinton, and could potentially be charged in multiple other ongoing investigations. Daniels said she will "dance down the street" if the former president goes to jail. But Clinton's allies aren't in a dancing mood. One former Clinton staffer...

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry for defending billionaires who fly private jets to climate change summits. “Look, I gotta say, John Kerry embodies the rich out-of-touch contempt that today’s left has for working men and women,” Cruz said in the Monday episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” video - go to 46:56 “So if John Kerry believes what he’s saying, it means when John Kerry puts his privileged derriere on a private jet, he is destroying planet Earth and simply buying an indulgence of, ‘well, I sent a check to...
