That thing that never happens has happened again

We’re just a week from the mass murders by a mentally ill boy who thought he was a girl, yet here we go again. From the New York Post:

Trans dad Robert Dorgan shoots wife, 3 kids in horrid ‘family dispute’ at crowded RI hockey arena as players and fans are seen scrambling to safety

By Chris Nesi and Caitlin McCormack | Monday, February 16, 2026 | 11:46 PM EST

A twisted trans father shot his wife, three kids and a family friend in the stands at a high school hockey tournament in Rhode Island on Monday — sending the panicked crowd screaming and fleeing for the exits.

Two people were killed and three others are in critical condition at a hospital after the gunfire erupted at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket around 2:30 p.m., according to cops, who described the incident as a targeted family dispute.

The shooter, identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan — who also went by Roberta Esposito — died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Dorgan was the father of a senior at North Providence High School, one of the six schools participating in the co-op games, WPRI reported. He shot his son’s mother, their three children and a family friend who were all spectators at the game, according to reports.

Robert Dorgan, from Libs of TikTok, via the New York Post.

But don’t you dare think that being transgender, being a man male who thinks he’s a woman, is a mental illness, or you’re a h8er, a transphobe, a thoroughly mean person, and, of course, an evil reich-wing Donald Trump supporter!

And don’t you dare think that “Roberto Esposito,” pictured to the left, wasn’t obviously a woman, wasn’t the very flower of femineity. How could you ever doubt that he truly felt like a woman?

The Post continued to note that another man in the stands grabbed a gun away from Mr Dorgan, but “they” had a second weapon. Yes, the article used the plural pronoun.

The New York Times? Well, the Grey Lady, our nation’s most famous and respected newspaper, did cover the story, but simply said that a “motive for the shooting was not known, though it appeared to arise from a family dispute.” The newspaper stated further that the killer “went by two different names,” but did not report what those names were, nor the fact that the murderer was transgender. Way to bury the lede!

Why, it’s almost as though our nation’s foremost example if journalistic integrity wanted to hide the facts from it’s readers! I guess those things aren’t really News That’s Fit to Print!

The dead? That would be Mr Dorgan’s wife and one of his children. The survivors were reported to be in critical condition.

From the Post again:

A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket Police Department following the deadly rampage told reporters, “My father was the shooter” and claimed that he was plagued by “mental health issues.”

“He shot my family, and he’s dead now,” she said, adding that he was “very sick.”

There’s an old rag that New Yorkers buy the Times so people on the subway will think that’s what they are reading, when in actuality they’re using the Times to cover up the fact they’re reading the Post. Given the quality of reporting from the Grey Lady, perhaps they should use the Post to hide the fact that they’re reading the Times.

Now you know why I call it Journolism! ** Updated! 9:05 PM EST ** #FreedomOfThePress includes the right not to publish what you don't want to publish, but concealing uncomfortable facts hurts the media's reputation

In the wake of the roughly 300 layoffs at The Washington Post, there has been a lot of blame spread, both among the subscribers who quit for owner Jeff Bezos refusing to endorse Kamala Harris Emhoff in 2024, and the paper itself for it’s very liberal leanings. The Post managed to piss off both the conservatives who might have been willing to subscribe, and the liberals who cancelled their subscriptions. Mr Bezos, in trying to fix a long-ongoing problem, fouled up.

But let me be clear here: the Freedom of the Press includes the freedom not to publish something. That should be obvious: there are only so many pages a newspaper can print, though with digital publishing these days, those limits have expanded.

And now we see just what isn’t being published, when it doesn’t fit Teh Narrative. When the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in a small town in northeast British Columbia occurred, the Associated Press told us, at 8:59 AM EST, that the (alleged) killer was a “woman” and a “female suspect.” At 9:32 AM EST, CNN simply identified the killer as “they,” being careful to not use a pronoun to specify the killer’s sex. At 9:32 AM EST, The New York Times told us nothing about the shooter.

But, as early as 6:48 AM EST, Matt Van Swol was telling us on Twitter the news which was not politically correct, that the killer was a mentally ill boy who thought he was a girl. I checked the credentialed media, and found several instances of the media concealing the knowledge that the (alleged) killer was transgender.

The killer’s name is Jesse Van Rootselaar, though initially identified as Jesse Strang, 18 years old, and yes, he’s transgender.

I don’t get it. The credentialed media want to build trust in their accuracy, so why conceal information that they know will come out soon enough?

My spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. And now you know why I spell it that way.

Well, eventually even The New York Times had to admit what had previously been revealed, that young Mr Van Rootselaar was the killer, and that the “suspect” was born as biologically male and chose to identify as a female about six years ago. That acknowledgement was time-stamped at 2:45 PM EST, just three minutes short of eight hours after Mr Van Swol’s tweet. The Times also revealed that the “suspect” had quit school four years earlier, which would have meant he wasn’t in school since age 14.

From the Times at 3:19 PM EST:

“Police had attended that residence on a number of occasions over the last several years dealing with concerns of mental health with our suspect,” Dwayne McDonald, the deputy commissioner, said, referring to the home where the suspect’s mother and stepbrother were found dead. On one of those occasions, “firearms were seized.” The most recent police call to the residence was in the spring of last year.

So, the local police already knew that young Mr Van Rootselaar was just plain nuts. Isn’t being biologically one sex but believing you are the other one definition of just plain nuts?

Of course, the newspaper continued to use the feminine pronouns to refer to the killer, as did local officials, because for some stupid reason they think a guy calling himself a girl really is a girl; are the editors and writers at the Times just as nuts as Mr Van Rootselaar?

Yeah, I think that they are!

The left keep attacking Riley Gaines Barker for everything except her real argument The left are deathly afraid of discussing the real issue, that 'transgender women' are very different from real women

Judging from my Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed, the talking points memo has gone out: the left must attack Riley Gaines Barker, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who is now a vocal advocate for protecting women’s sports from men males who think they’re somehow women. It’s no surprise to me that the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had to join in; hat tip to Carol Marks of The Victory Girls for pointing out this article.

How Riley Gaines and the trans panic steal from horror films

Fake victims like Gaines evoke the little girls of “The Exorcist” and “The Conjuring”

By Amanda Marcotte | Monday, October 27, 2025 | 6:45 AM EDT

On paper, former swimmer Riley Gaines is a puzzling choice for MAGA’s appointed “victim” of trans people. Gaines has built an entire career on a single incident when she was a college swimmer, when she tied for fifth place during the 200-yard freestyle at the NCAA swimming championship in 2022.

As a senior at the University of Kentucky, she finished in the middle of the pack with Lia Thomas, who had drawn national attention for being trans. Logically, Gaines’s woe-is-me tale doesn’t make much sense as a moral outrage over trans women in sports. Four other swimmers outswam Thomas, which seems to be proof against conservative claims that trans women have an unbeatable advantage. Nevertheless, Gaines portrays the moment as when her “dreams” were “shattered,” but most people would hardly use such heavy language for the difference between tying for fifth place versus having that also-ran trophy by yourself.

As we note in our Stylebook, this site always refers to the ‘transgendered’ by their proper names and pronouns, the names and pronouns which reflect their actual sex, not the gender they claim to be. Thus, the person who Miss Marcotte referred to as “Lia Thomas” is actually Will Thomas. However, as our Stylebook also specifies, we do not alter direct quotes from others.

We have previously noted how Mr Thomas completely destroyed the real female competitors in the pool before he learned to hold back a bit. He won one women’s NCAA championship, and then started bagging the other races.

Despite the underwhelming facts of her tale, Gaines turned her unmemorable swim meet into the entire foundation of her career as a MAGA figurehead. She never had the chops to be a professional swimmer, but she has done well as a professional victim, devoting her life not just to eradicating trans women from sports, but to opposing trans rights altogether. Gaines compares trans women to rapists and pedophiles, and claims that LGBTQ rights activists wish to “fully eradicate women as a whole.” She even calls trans people and their allies “demonic” and aligns queer rights with Satanism.

It is absolutely true that Mrs Barker finished only fifth, tying with Mr Thomas for the NCAA 200-yard freestyle championship in 2022, but it is also true that she has a good record in Southeastern Conference championships. I am especially impressed with her gold medal in the 200-yard butterfly; I’d guess that none of her critics could swim the butterfly stroke for even a single length of the pool, 50 yards, without having a stroke, or a heart attack, themselves.

So, OK, Mrs Barker was good, but not quite good enough to become a professional swimmer or make an Olympic team. It seems that most of her critics like to slam her for that, because they don’t really want to address her major point, that males and females are not alike, and are in fact very different in ways that make a difference in competitive athletics.

There are some mixed sex teams in sports in which the size, speed, quickness, endurance, and strength differences between males and females does not make a significant difference, such as rifle teams and curling. But only a fool doesn’t recognize that those differences do exist.

That, and not her fifth place trophy, is why Gaines has become the face of the anti-trans movement. Simply put, she looks the part. Every demon possession story requires a cherubic — and ideally blonde — little girl to be the face of the “innocence” threatened by Satanic forces. Think Linda Blair in “The Exorcist,” Heather O’Rourke in “Poltergeist” or the family of all daughters in “The Conjuring.” Although Gaines, at 25, is a grown woman, she has a round face and a girlish demeanor, making her able to evoke the trope of the demon-terrorized child that has captured the Christian right’s imagination for decades. . . . .

Wittingly or not, Gaines seems to understand that her ability to play the “victim” of these supposedly demonic trans forces depends on presenting herself as girlish. She favors fluffy lace, pink outfits. Despite promoting her athleticism, she avoids being seen as strong and capable, preferring sports photos that emphasize how “cute” and “lil” her clothes are. Gaines and her MAGA audience love to talk about how petite she is; in June, she even posted a video of her much-taller husband measuring her to “prove” she’s only 5 feet 5 inches tall. Since female swimmers, like their male counterparts, tend to be tall, the video only served to make Gaines look childish and came at the expense of her athletic image. Even her purported ambition — to have a swimming trophy — can be seen as childlike, especially as she never pursued a post-collegiate career as a professional swimmer.

So, Miss Marcotte is attacking Mrs Barker for her physical appearance, but not even doing that very well. The first two links take us to Instagram files and pictures which do not support the claims the author made, while the measuring the height video was in response to a tweet from gymnast Simone Biles. Of course, our fearless feminist from Philadelphia hasn’t been shy about writing disparagingly concerning other women’s appearances before, so this is not new ground for her.

Toward the end of her article, Miss Marcotte tells us that:

On a rational level, her story doesn’t make sense. Trans people haven’t taken anything from her. And with her swimming days behind her, they certainly aren’t a danger to her now.

Well, that’s technically true, but it’s like saying that, on a rational level, Miss Marcotte’s continual advocacy for abortion rights doesn’t make sense, because she’s 48 years old now, and her potential child-bearing days behind her. We all know she’d never accept that argument! That Mrs Barker is fighting for other women is a concept thar she can’t seem to grasp.

Will “Lia” Thomas, 26, accepted the “Voice of Inspiration Award” at the 2025 Violet Visionary Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night. (Alejandro Avila/OutKick). Can you pick out the 6’3″ male?

But Miss Marcotte and all of the others seem to flee from one question: are males and females, men and women, boys and girls different, different in ways that actually make a difference in sports? The author noted that Mrs Barker’s husband is “much taller,” which is something that adult men and women normally are. She also noted that “female swimmers, like their male counterparts, tend to be tall,” which is noting that, since adult males are normally several inches taller than adult females, they have a physical advantage. Sexual dimorphism is a real thing.

Will Thomas is 6’3″ tall.

Swimming is a sport in which strength, quickness, and endurance are key . . . and men, on the whole, are stronger, quicker, and can develop greater endurance than women. I know that such a point outrages our friends on the left, but, sorry, their argument is with God, or evolution, or Mother Nature, however they wish to put it.

Miss Marcotte made a great deal about Mrs Barker’s Christian beliefs, mocking them as much as she could, but she never addressed the real question.

The supporters of transgenderism want us to believe that #TransWomenAreWomen, but to make that claim they have to ignore the physical differences between males and females. If they acknowledge those differences, their entire worldview of transgenderism falls apart.

Mikie Sherrill Hedberg believes you can’t handle the truth! The candidate will not address an issue she sees as a vote loser

Remember the kerfuffle over former Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff’s admission that she considered then-Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, but decided against it because he is openly homosexual? Mr Buttigied admitted to being “surprised” to read that.

The divergence comes as their party is grappling with its approach to diversity, as the Trump administration slashes through diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Democrats disagree about how much to emphasize such values after the GOP successfully painted the party as too “woke” — and now face new questions over how to field winning candidates.

Now The Philadelphia Inquirer is telling us how one candidate is handling that. The Editorial Board endorsed Representative Mikie Sherrill Hedberg (D-NJ) in her campaign for Governor of the Garden State, but now the newspaper is telling us not to worry, she’s #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading enough, but she has to keep that on the down-low to get votes:

These parents wish Mikie Sherrill would defend their transgender kids. They understand why she doesn’t.

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has been quiet on transgender rights in the New Jersey governor’s race as Republican Jack Ciattarelli has spoken out against protections for trans youth.

by Aliya Schneider | Sunday, October 16, 2025 | 5:00 AM EDT

C.B. can’t even comprehend her transgender daughter being required to use the boys’ bathroom at her South Jersey school.

That’s OK, because most of us cannot comprehend how “C.B.” or any other rational human being could think that her son is actually a girl, or how the newspaper can use terms to pretend that he is a she.

“If you went into her classroom and someone said, ‘Pick out the trans kid out of these 25 kids,’ you would not be able to,” C.B. said. “You might very well get it wrong.”

So, “C.B.” is saying that her son can ‘pass’ as a girl

C.B., who asked to be identified by her initials to protect the privacy of her child, said she loves the Garden State. She has a “very Jersey family.”

But, like other parents of trans children, she’s considering packing her family’s bags depending on the results of the Nov. 4 election, and whether the next governor maintains the state’s LGBTQ+ friendly policies.

As opposed to getting her son mental help, to accept that he’s really a boy and learn how to be a male.

The stakes of the election are stark for C.B. and other parents. Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican nominee for New Jersey governor, opposes state policies implemented under Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy meant to protect transgender children. Ciattarelli says he would require schools to tell parents about their children’s gender identity and stop transgender girls (sic) from participating in girls’ sports. He also opposes gender-affirming care for minors and believes parents should be able to opt their kids out of LGBTQ+ related topics in school.

Shocking! You mean that Mr Ciattarelli believes that public schools should not be able to conceal a child’s mental illness from his parents? You mean that the Republican candidate believes that parents should have the choice to opt their children out of lessons they consider to be immoral and contrary to their religious beliefs?

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee, has largely voted in support of transgender rights throughout her nearly seven-year legislative career. She was endorsed by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups as well as her friend U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride (D., Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress. But Sherrill has not publicly defended trans rights when criticized by Ciattarelli and has declined to answer reporters’ questions on the matter.

Of course, “U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride” is actually Tim McBride, yet another male who thinks he’s a woman, whom the good people of the First State foolishly elected to Congress, but the newspaper I have frequently called The Philadelphia Enquirer[2]RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt. would never tell you that, because you can’t handle the truth.

Reporter Aliya Schneider noted that former and future President Donald Trump attacked Mrs Emhoff for supporting the strange notion that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, and that Mr Ciattarelli is doing the same thing in his campaign.

Sherrill has not just ignored the attacks. She has avoided talking about the issue altogether.

The article continues, and it is pretty heavily biased in favor of ‘transgenderism,’ so don’t be surprised if you choose to follow the link and read more of it, but it all boils down to one thing: the ‘transgender’ lobby believe that Mrs Hedberg will closely toe their line, but just can’t say so, because she needs the votes. The Democratic candidate won’t address the issue at all, because doing something really radical like telling voters the truth about her beliefs is a vote loser. Perhaps, if she loses, she’ll admit the truth as Mrs Emhoff did in her silly book, but the sad part is that, if she wins, she’ll tell you the truth about her policies with state action.

That thing that never happens has happened again At least ten high school varsity teams have chosen to forfeit games to protest presence of a boy on a girls' volleyball team

We noted, on September 26th, that six schools had forfeited games against the Jurupa Valley High School’s girls’ varsity volleyball team because a mentally ill male, A B Hernandez, plays on the girls’ team. Fox News has just reported how much the real girls are sacrificing:

California girls’ volleyball team with trans player sees 10th match forfeited amid controversy

The team can clinch first place in its league on Wednesday

By Jackson Thompson | Wednesday, October 15, 2025 | 3:45 PM EDT

Jurupa Valley High School’s girls’ volleyball team in California has now seen at least 10 games on its 2025 schedule forfeited amid a national controversy involving one of its players, who is transgender.

Los Osos High School forfeited a tournament game against Jurupa Valley on Saturday, while Patriot High School forfeited its Monday varsity match, marking its second forfeit to JVHS this season. Patriot High School previously forfeited a Sept. 26 match to Jurupa Valley.

Maribel Munoz, the mother of Jurupa Valley player Alyssa McPherson, provided Fox News Digital a copy of a message sent by JVHS head coach Liana Manu, announcing that the varsity match against Patriot was forfeited. The JV and freshman games were still played.

So, the schools are still playing the sub-varsity games, the games in which young Mr Hernandez is not participating.

It appears that by using a male player on the girls’ team, Jurupa Valley is in position to win the league title. However, JVHS is playing without Hadeel Hazameh and Alyssa McPherson, real girls who are refusing to play while Mr Hernandez is on the team.

Two of Jurupa Valley’s senior players, McPherson and Hadeel Hazameh, stepped away from the team this season in protest of trans teammate AB Hernandez.

McPherson and Hazameh have also filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Unified School District citing their experience playing and sharing a locker room with Hernandez the previous three seasons. McPherson’s older sister and former JVHS girls’ volleyball player Madison McPherson is the third plaintiff in that lawsuit.

So, Misses McPherson and Hazameh, both of whom are minors according to the lawsuit filed — the age of sexual consent in the Pyrite State is 18 — wound up playing and sharing a locker room with young Mr Hernandez, though obviously uncomfortably, in previous seasons. Here we have to give credit to Riley Gaines Barker, who has been leading the effort against allowing males to compete on women’s athletic teams, and the several colleges which forfeited against San José State University last collegiate volleyball season, for showing the way. Because none of the actual adults would do the right thing and protect women’s sports, it has been left to teenagers and young twenty-something athletes to sacrifice willingly to make the point.

But I keep wondering what young Mr Hernandez is doing. I get it: he really, really, really thinks he’s a girl. Yet, a volleyball team is supposed to be a team, and even if he thinks that Misses McPherson and Hazameh are being ridiculous in not accepting him as a girl, he has also cost his team at least ten opportunities to play against competition. The forfeits are wins for the team, but they are not wins that the team has earned. Brayden “Blaire” Fleming did the same thing for San José State University.

If Mr Hernandez really wants to be seen and thought of as a girl, why is he doing things to draw ever more attention to the fact that he’s male? He recently competed in and won the girls’ triple jump track competition by eight feet! He won races by margins which left the other girls in the dust. At least Will “Lia” Thomas had enough sense to, after he won an NCAA championship in one event, to pull back and let real women win the others. Mr Fleming kept his ‘transgender’ status a secret, and, to be honest, he could actually ‘pass’ as a girl, where Mr Thomas could not.

Can someone explain this stuff to me, because I guess that I’m just not smart enough to figure it out on my own. If the ‘transgendered’ really want to be seen as the sex they claim to be, why do things to point out that they really are not?

Hiring a 48-year-old, 5’7″, 210 lb ‘transgender woman’ to drive a school bus full of young kids? What could possibly go wrong?

Male bus driver who goes by ‘Ms Sharon’ charged with sexually abusing multiple boys

By Alex Oliveira | Sunday, October 5, 2025 | 2:27 PM EDT

A North Carolina school bus driver who calls himself “Ms. Sharon” has been charged with sexually assaulting several boys whom he lured to his house, cops say.

Leetwain Darrell Tate — a 48-year-old a male also known as just “Sharon” — was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of statutory rape and six counts of indecent liberties with a minor, according to Charlotte-Mecklenberg police.

He is accused of assaulting at least four boys age 14 and 15 years old, but officials said there could be more victims.

The children were found to be staying at his house, and one of them claimed Tate offered him money in return for sex, an arrest affidavit obtained by WCNC read.

The New York Post noted that the police said none of the ‘incidents’ occurred while Mr Tate was working for the school or on school property.

The WCCB news story doesn’t give us any more information than did the Post. Oddly enough, I was unable to find anything on this story in The New York Times, where they tell readers about All the News That’s Fit to Print.

The Charlotte Observer did report on the story, but of course the newspaper used the feminine pronouns to refer to Mr Tate. The Observer reported this:

In a letter to families about the allegations, Sugar Creek Charter School Superintendent Celeste Sundo said Tate met all of the necessary background requirements to get hired.

“All Sugar Creek Charter School candidates undergo a multi-step hiring process, including a national background check and reference checks, before an offer of employment is made,” Sundo said.

Yeah, that’s what the Des Moines board of education said about Ian Roberts, too, and look how that turned out! Apparently being a 5’7″ ‘transgender woman’ meets the ‘necessary background requirements’ for Mecklenburg County public schools! Normally when you hire crazy, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get crazy.

That thing that never happens has happened again

Riverside County, where the Jurupa United School District is located, is the fourth largest county in California and tenth largest the United States, but it has at least a little bit of sense — for the Pyrite State, that is — in that it was actually carried by Donald Trump on the 2024 election, albeit by the narrow margin of 463,677 (49.30%) to 451,782 (48.04%). Six congressional districts have parts of the county in them, represented by three Democrats and three Republicans, while there is again a split in the state Senate, but a 5-to-1 advantage for Republicans in the state Assembly.

But, alas! California overall is dominated not only by Democrats, but far-left Democrats, and every #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading policy possible has been enacted. And A B Hernandez, a male who is just absotively, posilutely certain he’s really a girl, is on the Jerupa Valley High School girls’ volleyball team.

Perhaps you’ve heard of young Mr Hernandez. He recently won the girls’ triple jump track competition by eight feet!

Now:

Patriot High School has forfeited an upcoming match to the Jurupa Valley High School.

Jurupa Valley previously saw three forfeits in one weekend at the Freeway Games tournament, as Aquinas High School, San Dimas High School, and Yucaipa High School all refused to play Jurupa Valley. Before this, the teams AB Miller High School, Orange Vista High School, Rim of the World High School, and Riverside Poly High School had all forfeited to Jurupa Valley.

Young Mr Hernandez’s presence isn’t the only ‘transgender’ boy causing forfeits in California.

From Fox News:

Three of Hernandez’s current and former volleyball teammates have filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD), the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the California Department of Education (CDE) over their experience sharing a team and locker room with the transgender athlete.

The two current teammates in the lawsuit, seniors Alyssa McPherson and Hadeel Hazameh, previously told Fox News Digital they were stepping away from the team as long as the transgender athlete is participating. The third plaintiff is McPherson’s older sister Madison, who graduated last year.

“Plaintiffs have been intimidated by an intentionally hostile environment created by Defendants wherein they were bullied by school officials to censor their objections to competing with, and against, a male and to sharing intimate and private spaces with a male,” the lawsuit reads.

We have previously reported on the discovery that “Blaire” Fleming was actually a male named Brayden Fleming on the San José State University women’s volleyball team, and how it led to several forfeits.

I get it. Our good friends on the left, consumed by sympathy as they are, really, really, really want to accommodate the ‘transgendered,’ those afflicted with gender dysphoria, who apparently seriously believe that they are not really the sex into which they were conceived, developed, and born. They really, really, really want people like young Mr Hernandez and Will Thomas to be able to live out their dreams to be women, regardless of the fact that they just are not.

But there are real differences between men and women, between boys and girls, differences which make a difference when it comes to athletics, and for all of the ‘transgendered’s’ Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’, Plannin’ and dreamin’ that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, they really can’t be. The ‘transgendered’ are mentally ill, and our very sympathetic friends on the left somehow believe that it’s better to go along with their delusions than to help them and tell them the truth.

However crazy you might think I am, no matter how much I really, really want to be as athletic as Bo Jackson, I’m at least sane enough to realize that I’m not.

Now, there are athletes, there are families in southern California, some of which might have been more sympathetic to people like young Mr Hernandez who are learning the hard way that the idiocy of the hard left wokesters is not something in the distance, something that happens to Other People, but happens to them as well.

The academic year has really just begun. How many more stories like this will we see before it’s over?

NBC Issues Correction After Using ‘the Wrong Pronoun’ for Mass Shooter: ‘She Used Female Pronouns’

by Charlie Nash | Tuesday, September 2, 2025 | 7:31 AM EDT

NBC News issued a correction on Friday after the news outlet used “the wrong pronoun” for Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman, who killed two children and left over a dozen others injured during a shooting at a church last week.

“CORRECTION (Aug. 29, 2025, 8:05 a.m. ET): A previous version of this article used the wrong pronoun for the shooter. She used female pronouns,” read the correction notice added to an article written by four reporters for the outlet.

The article had previously referred to Westman – who identified as a transgender woman – with male pronouns.

There’s a bit more at the original.

In other words, NBC News originally told the truth, but had to issue a correction of it!

One of those four reporters, Erik Ortiz, is listed in the ending biography as “a senior reporter for NBC News Digital focusing on racial injustice and social inequality.” No wonder that there are elements of being ‘woke’ in it!

Robert Westman — and we dislike using his name at all, as it gives the now-deceased cretin publicity — had gone to court, supported by his mother, to change his name to “Robin,” saying that he then identified as a female. The New York Post reported that Mr Westman regretted a lot:

In a twisted handwritten journal he shared on YouTube before the massacre — much of which is encrypted in a homespun code of Russian Cyrillic script and English words — Westman groaned about his long hair and his decision to transition.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The Post.

“I can’t cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack.” . . . .

“I regret being trans.. I wish I was a girl I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today. I also can’t afford that,” he said. . . . .

“I like feeling sexy and cute but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face… maybe that’s why I like furries so much. You can give yourself a new body and face. I want to be that black face mask on Beyonce’s body lmao!”

Somehow, some way, even the very mentally ill Mr Westman realized that he really wasn’t a girl and could never be a girl. He realized that, at best, he could be a simulacrum of a woman, but an ugly one. Few real women have Beyonce’s figure — or Sydney Sweeney’s, to note last month’s fixation that has so many on the left outraged — and the best that most of the ‘transgender women’ can achieve with facial feminization surgery is a clownlike appearance.

Mr Westman “wish(ed he) was a girl”, but realized that he wasn’t. How many of these guys who really, really wish they were girls picture themselves as girls who look like Sophie Cunningham, picture themselves like that, without realizing that most real girls would like to look like Miss Cunningham as well, that most girls are simply average.

Yet NBC News, ostensibly populated by sane and sensible people, can’t realize what the very insane Mr Westman finally did, that wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ Plannin’ and dreamin’ he was a girl didn’t make him a girl. Is it any wonder that Americans’ trust in the credentialed media is at its lowest point in five decades?

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

Whenever there is a truth you cannot tell that is a truth you must tell!

Rational people want rational explanations for everything. The worst mass murder event in the United States was on October 1, 2017, as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a music festival crowd from the Mandalay Hotel, killing 60 people and wounding 413 others. Coupled with the ensuing panic, a total of 867 people were injured. Unlike other mass murder events, the killer did not leave any explanation or ‘manifesto,’ and even years later, there has been no ‘official’ explanation.

And so it is with the latest mass murder attempt, the shooting by disturbed man male who thought he was a girl. From The New York Times:

What Motivated the Minneapolis Church Shooter? We May Never Know.

Investigators combing through piles of evidence from an attack on a Minneapolis church cautioned that these kinds of shooters often leave more questions than answers.

It has become a hauntingly routine paradox in the aftermath of horrific shootings.

An assailant leaves piles of evidence that investigators scrutinize. But law enforcement officials are often left with more questions than answers as they seek to determine a motive.

Officials in Minneapolis were bracing for that outcome as they examined the writings and social media posts of the person they say opened fire through the window of a church packed with schoolchildren on Wednesday, killing two.

“We will follow all of the evidence to its logical conclusion,” Brian O’Hara, the Minneapolis police chief, told reporters on Thursday. “This may not ultimately provide the answers that our public is looking for.”

We were told the same thing following the killing of six people at the Covenant School outside of Nashville, Tennessee, by Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old white woman who was so mentally ill that she thought she was a male named ‘Aiden.’ The authorities scrutinized Miss Hale’s writings, and then kept them hidden away. When conservative — the media called him “right-wing” — podcaster Stephen Crowder managed to obtain photocopies of three pages from her notebook, and published them, the authorities were far angrier that the information was leaked than they were about the killings.

Robin Westman, 23, carried out the attack and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the authorities said. The attacker left behind a lengthy suicide note, journal entries and scribbling on the weapons used in the ambush at the Church of the Annunciation, which is affiliated with an adjacent Catholic school.

Note here that the Times used the killer’s fake name, rather than his real name of Robert, and the feminine pronouns to refer to him. The credentialed media do that pretty consistently, because they want to at least tacitly support the notion that girls can be boys and boys can be girls. Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer is right along with that, with an opinion piece in support of transgenderism, just a few days after a ‘transgender woman’ killed two kids, and wanted to kill more.

The content includes disparaging messages about President Trump, Christians, Black people, Hispanic people, Jews and Israel.

“The shooter expressed hate toward every group imaginable,” said Joseph H. Thompson, the acting United States attorney in Minnesota. “The shooter’s heart was full of hate.”

The sprawling nature of the assailant’s rantings and grievances led government officials and other observers to zero in on single pieces of information in the immediate aftermath of the attack, which also injured 15 children and three adult parishioners.

I cannot (legitimately) publish the entire Times article, but please, feel free to click on the title and read the rest yourself. The author points out that Mr Westman and Miss Hale were ‘transgender,’ but also tries to focus on other things, along with noting that some mass shooters taken alive and talk about their actions are often unable to provide coherent reasons.

But one thing I have noticed is that, while these shootings usually generate considerable talk about stricter gun control laws, that has been mostly missing in this case, because every proposal I have ever seen includes banning the mentally ill from purchasing firearms, and the last thing the left want to do is concede the obvious point, that the ‘transgendered’ are, by definition, mentally ill.

Colbert King of The Washington Post did raise that question .  .  . sort of:

Suppose Westman had undergone mental health screening to qualify for acquiring a lethal weapon. Would disqualifying mental health conditions have been identified? Would she have passed go?

Some psychological and psychiatric disorders render people ineligible for certain roles in life due to safety risks. Ought not the ability to own deadly weapons also be subjected to tests? And should that decision, with all due respect, be left to pawnbrokers?

Of course, Mr King didn’t write, probably didn’t dare write, that ‘gender dysphoria’ should be number one on the list of “psychological and psychiatric disorders render people ineligible for certain roles in life due to safety risks,” because acceptance of the delusions of the ‘transgendered’ is practically a cause célèbre among our friends on the left, and even a very liberal person on other things, like author J K Rowling is hated by those who support ‘transgenderism.’

Whether the editors of the Post would have spiked such an addition to Mr King’s column is unknown.

We previously reported, noting Robert Stacy McCain’s story on the Tennessee Star, one of those evil, reich-wing news and commentary sites, doing the actual journalism — not journolism — in investigating the parts of the story the FBI and Nashville authorities tried to keep secret concerning Miss Hale:

Thanks to The Tennessee Star, this week we learned a whole lot more about Audrey Hale, the deranged 28-year-old woman who wanted to be a man named “Aiden” and who killed six people at Covenant School in Nashville before being shot dead by police. Among the revelations this week, we learned that Hale had been a “patient of mental health professionals at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC)” since she was six years old! Heck of a job, “mental health professionals.”

At the time she perpetrated the Covenant School massacre, Hale was under treatment by both a psychiatrist and a therapist. The distinction is important — a psychiatrist is an M.D., who can write prescriptions, whereas a therapist is basically a counselor, someone with a degree in psychology, to whom the patient talks about their problems. So medication and conversation are, in such a case, handled by two separate “mental health professionals” who, we suppose, consult with each other.

The fact that Audrey/“Aiden” Hale was not healed by this treatment — to the contrary, she became a worst-case scenario of therapeutic effectiveness — is not unusual. Most people who are subjected to treatment by “mental health professionals” never really become healthy. With the assistance of anti-depressants or other medications, they may be able to get through life OK, but how can you say turning someone into a drug addict is “success”? Excuse me for speaking so bluntly, but if the goal is “mental health” and you require Prozac (Zoloft, Paxil, etc.) just to make it through the day? No, you haven’t achieved “mental health.”

Mr McCain is, of course, one of those evil Republicans, so you’re not supposed to pay attention to him either, but he noted that the Star actually did the journalistic legwork. I’m not going to go over the part in which he documented that Miss Hale was just plain crazy; you can read his original, which is not behind any kind of paywall.

Mr McCain went into the efforts by the federal Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to keep the evidence about Miss Hale suppressed. It wasn’t as though evidence needed to be protected for her trial, since she was killed by the police when they responded to the attack.

It’s hardly a surprise, because the Biden Administration specifically and the left in general are all in on normalizing ‘transgenderism,’ and the last thing they want is documentary evidence that a transgender school shooter and mass murderer not only was crazy, but knew she was crazy, and was taking a drug store’s worth of medication to suppress the crazy, and it still didn’t work. They most certainly don’t want people associating ‘transgenderism’ with people being just plain nuts. And in the Minneapolis case, though we now have a sensible regime in the Department of Justice, you can bet your last euro that Minnesota officials will do whatever they can to keep this quiet. The New York Post, our nation’s second oldest continuously published newspaper, has a conservative editorial policy, and has been reporting on this case all along, reported that one of the Minneapolis killer’s former teachers revealed that he had been a troubled student all along.

Did being crazy make the school shooters transgender, or were the feelings of ‘gender dysphoria’ what led to them being crazy in other ways? Who can say, but we do know that most of the credentialed media have been soft-peddling the ‘transgender’ part about the killers, because they do not want the public believing that the ‘transgendered’ are just plain nuts. That is a truth that must be told.
