If someone with a psych degree can add a new term to the list of disorders, I’d be much obliged. Let’s call it “Virtual Empathy Overload Syndrome” and define it as “Someone who can’t read another hot take and/or virtue signaling attempt, be it in the form of a solidarity avatar, hashtag, or asinine essay from mush-minded twits desperate for strangers to know Just How Much They Care(TM).” Because I’m suffering from it and need some kind of pill. Or a special bathroom. That’s how it works, right? Bake me a cake or I’ll sue. Not helping is Vox’s latest...

Follow the link below to watch the video, Second Shooter In Mandalay Bay Hotel in Vegas I found all this as I surfed the web about the shooting in Vegas. Is it just me, or does all this news of a single shooter seem just too damn convenient, or what? I do know that dead men tell no tales. Two separate videos show flashes that could be muzzle flashes from another automatic weapon on a lower floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. In another news report, an Australian man staying in the room next to Paddock, says that there were...

The video I posted here of Steve Paddock at an anti-Trump rally was removed by YouTube and Facebook I heard from Steven, the video maker. He wrote me this: Hey you used my video from youtube on the Las Vegas shooting, I just wanted to let you know they falsely accused me of promoting spam in it and deleted the video. I also received a copyright strike, the second one I got from youtube. The first one was when I exposed a child abuser that got investigated. I have the video still if you want it. Here’s what we know...

Marilou Danley, the live-in girlfriend of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock, and now a "person of interest" in the shooting investigation, is a Philippines native who has used two Social Security numbers during her two-plus decades in the United States, and was married to two men at the same time, public records show. The person who may hold the key to solving the mystery of why the Vegas gunman killed 59 and wounded nearly 600 people led a convoluted life of her own, with two simultaneous husbands, a bankruptcy, two Social Security numbers, multiple addresses in several states and even...

Here is proof that the flashing many claim is a 2nd shooter at Mandalay Bay is a strobe light. 6 hours after the incident it's STILL FLASHING. Stop spreading the stupid conspiracy theories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RpvVwsodHE&list=PLnnDpb_coRoYFg5x91jdJz1gr5diwKD1e&index=3

Psychiatrist Michael Welner told Fox News this morning that he thinks CNN's priorities, when it comes to mass shootings, are completely twisted. He said, "CNN's gonna have to answer for how they demonize gun enthusiasts and how CNN actually contributes to mass shooting." Welner says that after the incident in Las Vegas, now deemed the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, CNN didn't demonize the shooter. He says that by only hammering on gun control, and not highlighting how horrible the assailant was, the network encourages other shooters. He argues it is a way of complicity elevating the status of a...

Stephen Paddock did not vote in Clark County NV. Mesquite NV is a town in Clark County. I downloaded the zip file from the website containing all voters in the county and did a search. Below is a list of voters with the last name 'Paddock'. FYI - the first date is the birth year, the second date is the latest activity date, and the third date is the registration date. I truncated the data for clarity.

"PHOTOS have leaked online of the dead body of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock – and he appears to have left a note."

LAS VEGAS — At least one of the rifles the gunman in the Las Vegas mass shooting had in his hotel suite was outfitted with a “bump stock,” a device that would enable it to fire hundreds of rounds per minute, a law enforcement official said. Authorities on Tuesday continued looking for a motive in one of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States, scouring the personal and financial history of the gunman, Stephen Paddock, 64. The same law enforcement official said Mr. Paddock wired thousands of dollars to the Philippines and the FBI was scrutinizing the transaction. Survivors...

It happens. Every…single…time. Another mass shooting, another mass effort by Democrats to squeeze out some political gain. In these circumstances, this is beyond the pale of normal ugly politics. It’s vicious, cold-hearted, self-centered, void of common decency, almost a sickness in part because of the rapidity of the response. Literally within hours of a psychopath in Las Vegas slaughtering 59 people and injuring more than 600 others at a country western concert, leading Democrats in Congress, the media and entertainment everywhere were falling all over themselves to get their holier-than-thou positioning out to the masses — well, their masses anyway....

The girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock is still a person of interest, police said Tuesday. Marilou Danley is currently in the Philippines and has been talking to US authorities, Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo said. “Currently, she’s a person of interest,” he added.

Law enforcement officials are investigating whether Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock had been planning an earlier attack in the city, a law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News. According to a law enforcement source, investigators are looking at whether he may have first had his sights on the "Life is Beautiful" festival on Sept. 22 to Sept. 24. The source, who was briefed on the police investigation, said Paddock had apparently tried to get a room at The Ogden and another hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but apparently the specific suites he requested were booked. The source speculated that Paddock...

Las Vegas madman Stephen Paddock set up a camera inside his hotel room to capture his deadly shooting rampage — and other surveillance in the hallway to alert him as cops closed in on him, according to reports. The shooter had at least one lens set up to tape himself as he unleashed hell on thousands of unsuspecting concertgoers several hundred yards below his ritzy casino suite, according to ABC News.

Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock gambled with at least $160,000 in the past several weeks at Las Vegas casinos, according to multiple senior law enforcement officials. There were 16 separate Currency Transaction Reports, or CTRS, filed for Paddock in recent weeks. The Treasury Department and the IRS mandate that casinos have to file the reports for "each transaction in currency involving cash-in and cash-out of more than $10,000 in a gaming day." The reports don't show whether Paddock won or lost or both on the days in question. They do show that on same days there were multiple transactions. A...

Dr. Michael Welner offers insight on Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock on 'Fox & Friends.'

As virtually everyone has noted from the abundant video footage of the incident, it certainly sounds as if the shooter used either fully-automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons modified (through, for example, a bump fire stock) to closely simulate automatic fire. Moreover, the police are reporting that he had “more than 10 rifles.” He apparently rented his corner room for days and may have even set up cameras to detect when police were approaching. That’s all strange enough, but it’s even more unusual when you consider that his own family apparently didn’t know that he maintained a stockpile of guns.[snip]Put all...

Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to an account in his live-in girlfriend’s home country of the Philippines in the week before he killed at least 59 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, according to multiple senior law enforcement officials. Marilou Danley, 62, traveled to Hong Kong on Sept. 25 and was in the Philippines on Oct. 1, when Paddock began his rampage, say officials, but it’s not known whether the money was intended for her, her family or another purpose. Danley is scheduled to return to the U.S. tomorrow, said the officials. Her arrival airport...

Stephen Paddock's father launched a violent attack in Las Vegas decades ago, with chilling parallels to his son's massacre in the same city. Almost 60 years before his son would use an arsenal of weapons to kill at least 59 people in the Nevada city, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock was involved in a violent incident in Las Vegas himself. In 1960, Benjamin Paddock was charged with stealing $25,000 from three different banks in Arizona, where he and his son are thought to have lived. A couple of days later came the incident in Las Vegas. Authorities chased him to there and...
