Pages from transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto have leaked showing her motivation to be hatred of white people. Fox 17. The pages have been confirmed to be authentic. Hale shot and killed six people including three children and three teachers at Covenant school before being killed by police. In her manifesto she said her victims were "crackers" and "faggots" with "white privilege". Hale herself was white and claimed to be a female-to-male transgender. Hale also wrote  "Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm ready... I hope my victims aren't." The manifesto had been part of a legal battle as many people did not want to see the writings released. It is unclear how the documents were released, they ended up in the hands of right wing commentator Steven Crowder. An investigation has been opened into discovering who leaked the images, and Nashville police say the photos were not taken as part of the investigation. 

Steven Crowder's report can be found here. 

My Comment:

There were questions if these pages were authentic since they were released via Steven Crowder. Crowder is a pundit and though I am not aware of him making things up, he's a commentator, not a journalist. Why they were released to him instead of a more journalistic outlet is a mystery. Perhaps more journalistic outlets are 

Fox 17 is a legit news outlet and they have confirmed the manifesto is authentic. And given the absolute temper tantrum the Nashville mayor and the police have had over this, I would say it's pretty obviously real. The fact that a Nashville police vehicle is visible and the pictures appear to be have taken in a police vehicle I would say a cop took these photos themselves and then leaked them to Crowder. 

As for the manifesto itself, it seems pretty clear why people didn't want it released. Hale appears to have gone all in on the current diversity narrative that white people are the cause of all bad things and she wanted to punish them for existing. She was an out and out racist, it's just that in this case the people she hated were white children. According to diversity ideology it's not possible to be racist against white people, but it's pretty obviously that isn't the case. 

What is bizarre is the fact that she hates people that are like her. She called the people she targeted "faggots" despite being LGBT herself. If we take her gender transition seriously, she considered herself a man, a man that was attracted to, and obsessed with, another woman. So she was also insulting herself. She was also a white woman so calling her victims "crackers" as well is just describing herself. 

It seems clear to me that Hale was warped by far-left bigotry and that she hated herself. Part of this is probably due to being transgender, the whole thing with them is not feeling comfortable with their own body. But Hale took it a lot further than just being uncomfortable with her sex, but with her race as well. It's a bizarre pathology that I can't claim to understand, but then I never bought the ideology in the first place. 

What is surprising is that Hale didn't seem to be motivated by her transgenderism. I had always assumed that she hated these children because she blamed them for people not accepting her transgenderism. Instead she seems to be motivated by bog-standard leftism. 

Of course with only three pages released it's possible her motivations are deeper than have been revealed in these pages. These seem like the last three pages she wrote and could just be the ones that the leaker got his hands on. Are the rest of the pages more of the same? Or could her motivations be more complex than first revealed by these pages? Regardless, I do wonder if more pages will be released soon. 

As far as the "debate" goes about releasing the manifesto, I think these pages show why doing so was a good thing. The manifesto seems to show that Hale was a mass shooter that was simply transgender instead of a shooter motivated by being transgender. That distinction is small but somewhat meaningful. If Hale was motivated by leftist race ideology instead of LGBT beliefs then it's important that that narrative gets out there. Hale just appears to be a self hating racist instead of committing a mass shooting to advance transgenderism. 

But it could be that the non-released pages of her journal, and the supposed video she made, could make things a lot clearer. I still think that the manifesto should be released in full. The embarrassing stuff about the woman she was obsessed with (which I am purposely not naming here) could be taken out, while the rest should be shown to people. 

As for the cop that released this, if they are caught they are going to be in serious trouble. They might not care, after all, this should have been released months ago. But I think they will probably lose their job at least, and could even face criminal charges. Not to mention the possibility of lawsuits. And I don't think that it will be that hard to discover who did this, after all, only a few people would have had access to the manifesto. Whoever did this did it at a huge risk and I have to say I respect that. 

One year before the 2024 election, Donald Trump leads Biden in five of six critical swing states.

One year before the 2024 election Donald Trump leads Joe Biden in five of six critical swing states. USA Today. Both Trump and Biden are expected to win their primary races and have a large lead in those fields. However, Biden might have an uphill climb as the polls show he is behind in critical swing states. Only in Wisconsin does Biden have a 2 point lead, near the margin of error. Trump wins by 10 points in Nevada, 6 in Georgia, 5 in Arizona and Michigan and 4 in Pennsylvania. Biden appears to be losing support among the people that voted for him in 2020, including black voters and young people. Voters trusted Trump on the economy, with Biden being trusted on abortion. 

CBS also conducted a poll that shows Trump with a large lead on the economy. 45% of votes said that Trump's policies would make them better off while 48% said that Biden would make them worse off financially. Trump was also expected to make the world a safer place and was less likely to get America involved into a new war. 73% of voters also said that things are going badly in America today. In a head to head matchup, Trump would beat Biden by 3 points, 51% to 48%. 

My Comment:

A pair of bad polls from the New York Times and CBS News for Joe Biden. Keep in mind I would say both outlets are more in favor of Biden than Trump to say the least so to see these kinds of numbers for Biden is fairly shocking. 

To be fair it is a year out from the election and not one vote has been cast in a primary election. A whole lot could happen between now and the election. Both men are old and it's possible, though extremely unlikely, that one or both could be replaced before the first vote is even cast. And given how things appear to be falling apart rapidly almost anything could happen between now and then. 

With that being said, it is still a very bad couple of polls for Biden. For him to be so far behind in these swing states is a very bad sign. The 10 point lead Trump has in Nevada is particularly shocking, though the state was hit hard by Biden's continuing Covid restrictions and they probably haven't forgotten it. The only swing state Biden seemed to even have a chance in was Wisconsin, and I can tell you people here are tired of him too. 

The economic approval is even worse for Biden. Nobody seems to be buying the idea that "Bidenomics" is helping the country. There have been several news stories lamenting the fact that people aren't buying that the economy is doing better. Largely because the economic gains have been in areas that are not helping everyday Americans. Most people remember that their grocery bills, rent and interest rates were dramatically lower under Trump compared to Biden and Biden doesn't seem to even notice or care about it. 

Foreign policy is a big issue now as well. It absolutely should have been during the 2020 election as I doubt people would have voted for Biden if he knew he was gung ho about fighting a war with Russia over Ukraine. 

Biden has been a bad president in general but it was his foreign policy where he has been an exceptional failure. Ukraine has been a disaster and there is a good chance that Ukraine will either be defeated or on the verge of being so by the time of the election. And, of course, Israel has a huge war against Hamas, which is especially bad as most people thought the region was finally calming down under Trump. I also think that people haven't forgotten about how badly he screwed up Afghanistan. 

People still support giving Israel and Ukraine aid, though that's as far as it goes. People don't want a war with Russia and they don't want a war with Iran but they understand that Biden could blunder himself in a war with one or both. Trump didn't get us into any war and was actually a competent diplomat. 

Of course the elephant in the room is that Republicans have not actually done anything to counter any of the things Democrats have done and are doing to tilt things in their favor. Trump still has a bunch of bunk charges against him. And nobody has done anything about voter harvesting, tech censorship and out and out fraud that dominated the 2020 election... 

Massive anti-Israel protests break out in Washington DC.

 

Protesters at the gates of the White House. New York Post. 

Massive anti-Israel protests have broken out in Washington DC. New York Post. The crowds shouted "Allah Akbar" and "Fuck Joe Biden" as they marched. Crowds were estimated to be around 300,000, but police do not confirm those numbers. There were several incidents of property destruction but no reported violence. Protesters rocked the gate at the White House but were not able to get inside. The protest ended abruptly around 8:00 pm locally. 

My Comment:

I've got mixed feelings about this. I have zero sympathy for Hamas and the "plight" of Palestinians in general. I also know that the same people that rioted in 2020 over George Floyd are the same people protesting now. It is not a good thing that they were able to get 300,000 people to support a cause that is, if anything, even stupider and less justified. 

That isn't to say that I think Israel should not be criticized. I just have zero respect for the black and white thinking that says that everything Israel does is wrong and everything that Palestinians do is right. The real world doesn't work that way, and as a whole, I have much more sympathy for the Israelis due to the fact that they aren't a threat to me while radical Islam certainly is. Since Hamas is pretty indistinguishable from ISIS at this point, I don't really care too much what Israel does in Gaza, even if they are occasionally more brutal than the bleeding hearts would like. It's a morally gray conflict to be sure, but one side is a lot more darker morally than the others, with a lot of people from both sides getting caught up in the conflict. 

With that being said, it's hard not to feel a bit of schadenfreude right now. The far-left Golem that the Democrats made and helped them get into office in 2020 has now pretty conclusively turned on them. I'm certainly no fan of these protesters but I'm also not a fan of Joe Biden either and if they are fighting each other that's probably a good thing for everyone else. 

Biden can't possibly please everyone here. If he listens to the protesters he is going to lose lefty-Jews and a huge hunk of pro-Israel Democrats, especially among older voters. If he doesn't then he will lose Muslims and the protester useful idiots that he needed to win in 2020. And I don't see how he can continue to try and play both sides and he risks pissing off both groups if he doesn't take a side. 

Most of those voters won't be voting for Donald Trump, but if they are angry enough with Joe Biden and the Democrats they may simply stay home. I tend to think that most anti-Israel people will be politically homeless pretty soon, their ideas are outside of the Overton Window on both sides of the political divide and they won't be able to get a mainstream candidate from either party to support their ideas. 

I also don't think that Biden has all that much influence on Israel anymore in the first place. He was never close with Netanyahu and burned his bridges with him earlier in the year. He was able to slow Israel's offensive but I think if he does directly call for a cease fire Israel will simply ignore him. And if he does the political establishment will turn on him so quickly he won't even have time to say "President Donald Trump" before he's out of office. 

Finally, I do think that these protesters are likely to find out that they actually can't get away with everything and anything. One of the few things the US government takes seriously is Islamic terrorism and they will turn on these protesters the 2nd a major terror attack happens on US soil. And given how high the threat level is right now that will probably happen sooner rather than later. 

Cornell University cancels classes after anti-Semitic threats

Cornell University cancels classes after anti-Semitic threats of violence was made against the University's Jewish students. AP. Patrick Dai, a 21 year old Junior at the school, was arrested after he made threats against the schools Jewish community on a Greek Life website. He said he was going to shoot up "104 west" which is the school's kosher dinning hall. Authorities tracked the threat via his IP address and arrested him afterwards. Despite his arrest, students were instructed to avoid the dining hall while police stepped up patrols of the area. 

My Comment:

First of all, I'm assuming that Patrick Dai wasn't actually going to shoot up Cornell's dinning hall. This seemed like it was him just being an asshole, making threats he had no plans to actually do. With no news reports of him owning weapons or making solid plans I think this was just him making threats. 

He also should have obviously expected to get arrested for this. The FBI may not care about people who make mass shooting threats, but colleges and local police absolutely do. They were, of course, going to look into this and since he didn't take any steps to protect his identity online. He was of course going to get arrested. 

Was this an overreaction to cancel classes? Possibly. I don't think there was any real threat here in the first place but even if there was, Dai is in custody now. There isn't going to be a terror attack at Cornell tomorrow and I think that's pretty obvious. 

Still, given the situation, I can understand wanting to cancel classes. People are going to be scared about this. Jews are already pretty upset about the Hamas attack and the positive reaction to it many people on college campuses have had to it. It's no wonder they want to take a day off from it. 

I said yesterday that one of the types of attacks we could see is a rally getting out of control, but I guess I should have said more about what is going on our college campuses. Jews are really getting the worst of it and pro-Hamas people are running wild. It's amazing that none of these rallies haven't fallen into a riot or, even worse, a lynching. And given how radicalized many of these far-left and Muslim Hamas supporters are, I think it's only a matter of time before that happens. 

What I don't understand is why? I can maybe understand not liking Jewish people, but that seems to be less of the reason. People actually do support Hamas and the people of Gaza, which I just cannot understand. Hamas is a terror group that essentially reached the same levels of depravity ISIS did during their peak. And the Palestinians? There is a reason why the Arab countries aren't taking them in, they have caused massive problems in the past. 

Regardless of your opinion of both sides of the Hamas war, it is true that your average Jewish student has nothing to do with what happens in Israel. Even duel citizens have little control over what Israel does. And many Jews don't even like Israel, especially in America. Sending death threats to them is pretty pointless if you are upset about Israel, but I think a lot of it is just people hating Jews. 

I find the whole thing bizzare

FBI Director Wray says the terror threat in the United States is at a "whole other level" due to Israel-Hamas war.

FBI Director Christopher Wray says the terror threat in the United States is at a "whole other level" due to the Israel-Hamas war. Fox News. He said that the level was already elevated before the war but the attack by Hamas has elevated the threat. The attack that killed a large number of Jews could serve as an inspiration for lone wolf attackers not seen since the height of ISIS. Lone wolf or small group attackers inspired by the attack are a major concern as well as retribution attacks against Jews and Muslims taken by domestic terrorists. However he also warned that Hamas or other terror groups could launch their own attacks, citing the threat from Hezbollah and possibly Iran itself. Wray's comments were echoed by other government agencies. 

My Comment:

The really pathetic thing about this is that the FBI has essentially given up on counterterrorism. They have instead focused on persecuting the people that were at the January 6th protests, to the point it's rumored that they are now arresting people that were simply at the rally Trump had that day. Indeed, Wray also said that they weren't really tracking any foreign terrorists at the moment, which was an absurd thing to say. 

That video is also pretty spooky since Wray is also saying there are gaps in our intelligence on the terror threat and even quoted Donald Rumsfeld talking about "known unknowns". That's the same kind of rhetoric we heard before during and after the 9/11 attacks and it certainly doesn't inspire confidence. 

Given the track record of the FBI and terror attacks it's probably almost better that they aren't actually tracking terror targets right now. The FBI has an absolute history of botching these things, with the most notable case being the Curtis Culwell attack in Texas where an FBI agent was on the scene of the attack and was almost shot by local police since he was dressed like one of the attackers and had gone to the scene of the attack with them. 

Despite the FBI's bad reputation I do agree that the terror threat is at an absurdly high level. People like succeeds and Hamas had a huge success with their attack on the Israelis. Not only did they take the Israelis by almost total surprise, they managed to deal a blow to one of the most hated countries in the entire world by Muslims. 

They also appear to be winning the propaganda war. The atrocities that Hamas committed in Israel have largely been forgotten and their own major mistake in the war, bombing their own hospital with a malfunctioning rocket, has been successfully blamed on Israel. They also have a sophisticated media propaganda arm that has no problem exploiting dead people. 

We have already seen some small scale terror attacks that may have been inspired by the attack, most notably the ISIS attack in Belgium. Given the time that has passed since the attack, terrorists have had time to plan a major attack, though who knows if there is a terror group strong enough to actually pull it off. 

Hamas is of course using all their resources to fight Israel and presumably don't want to bring the United States into the war so I don't see them launching any attacks in the US. ISIS and al-Qaeda are mostly destroyed and though they have had some room to regroup and rearm, they are mere shadows compared to what they once were. 

What does worry me is Hezbollah and Iran. Both have been very active in the United States. Iran has been infiltrating people in for years and Hezbollah was so involved here that they made a billion dollars smuggling cocaine into the United States. Unlike Hamas they have people here and have a major reason to hit us, given their hatred of US foreign policy. I don't think Iran would attack us directly but if the war escalates to the point where we are in a shooting war with Iran, all bets are off. 

Far more likely are lone wolf terror attacks and open street violence. It doesn't take much for someone to launch an attack, you don't even need a gun. All you need is the will and the intelligence to find a weapon and a person can easily pull off an attack like this. 

And those pro or anti-Israel rallies? Given how many conflicts there have been at those rallies I would not be surprised if they turn into a melee or a riot. Tensions are just way too high and I highly recommend to not go to any of these events. It's a minor miracle that nobody has been killed at these events. 

Finally, there is the potential for good old fashioned murder. We have already seen one such incident, where a man stabbed a 6 year old Muslim boy, but that could be the tip of the iceberg. Given how many Jews are reporting being harassed I think it's only a matter of time before one of these incidents escalate into murder...
