Murders At Nashville Christian School… Ferocity From The Swamp Where Dem Party Chooses To Dwell
By DEXTER DUGGAN
Fox News wouldn’t be regarded as a big admirer of Joe Biden, but it cut to the White House for a statement by him where he had been scheduled to greet a gathering for the Women’s Business Summit.
A routine Biden ceremony wouldn’t receive that sort of Fox News attention, but he was expected to deliver remarks now on the shocking homicidal attack against a Christian elementary school in Nashville a little earlier on March 27. A Fox News “Alert” notice swept across the screen.
Instead, Biden began with his customary jokes about being Dr. Jill Biden’s husband (at least, he didn’t say once again that Kamala Harris is president of the U.S.) and his love of ice cream.
Admirers in the audience laughed appreciatively, as his fans do when grown accustomed to ignoring the danger to the world posed by the whims of this cognitively impaired man.
He rambled about coming to the lectern because he heard there was chocolate-chip ice cream there, and that he had a whole refrigerator of the treat upstairs.
More appreciative chuckles from the seating. Biden’s face wasn’t looking lively.
The event didn’t show a new side of Biden. It only underscored the peril that the globe suffers while this mentally decayed politician stumbles through his days as commander-in-chief of the still-most powerful nation in the world, despite Biden’s goal to be its mortician.
Then Biden saluted a liberal Democrat congressman in attendance, which drew whoops and applause. After this, the squinting Biden saw some youngsters in the audience and asked them to stand up, which drew applause.
At this point a female Fox anchor’s puzzled voice cut in for news viewers, saying Fox had been told Biden would be addressing, “off the top,” the Nashville attack “that just happened” and left three children dead, three adults dead, and the shooter dead.
While the image of Biden remained on the screen, a male Fox anchor’s voice said Biden’s remarks were “rather surprising,” and that it had been thought “a somber President Biden would have come to the podium here and addressed the school shooting.”
However, now Biden was reminiscing about how his sister, Valerie, had managed all of his campaigns, even back in high school. She was so smart.
And what about the kids in the audience Biden had asked to stand up. Were any of them twins, he wondered. By the way, Dads are harder to raise than Moms, Biden said, continuing to draw indulgent laughter from an audience that should have been appalled at his patter.
Biden would get to the Nashville slaughter, but this pressing issue of the moment wasn’t part of his prepared remarks, so Biden, with the speed of molasses, stuck with his unhinged chattering before he rambled over to another scripted line of thought about restricting guns.
It’s always interesting when gun foes seem to think that a mentally deranged plotter — who may even draw maps and check out the security precautions in advance at a possible victim site — would be dissuaded from doing terror because that would be breaking the law.
Says the hypothetical terrorist: “What, you mean I can’t mow down a classroom of kids because that’s illegal!! I had no idea!! I’ll forget about that and settle down for an evening of popcorn and TV cartoons instead.”
At the lectern, Biden repeated previous sentences he said, a speaker’s tactic when trying to figure out what he wants to say next.
He called on Congress to pass his assault-weapons ban, although it hadn’t done so when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress during his first two years in the White House.
Then he was off to rambling about the military and post-traumatic stress and mental health and, finally, the women’s business gathering that was the reason he came to the lectern. If he wasn’t looking for ice cream.
Which didn’t preclude him from mentioning, too, an old basketball friend and knowing “how to know.”
Information still was coming in about the Nashville assault. As soon as the police reported one detail, many media reports latched onto that: The shooter was a woman. How unusual, they said. Women hardly ever get into this type of violence.
Then it developed that the female-born attacker didn’t think of herself as a woman at all, but as a transitioning man. That changed everything. This topic was touchy for trendy media, who went in exactly the opposite direction for their coverage than if the attacker were being revealed as a Donald Trump supporter or strong opponent of permissive abortion. Reports started playing down the gender angle.
Biden himself was all-in on the disordered belief that people can be whatever sex they please. Two weeks earlier he denounced state legislation against mutilating surgery upon minors as “close to sinful,” “terrible,” and “cruel.”
Like the Devil quoting Scripture, Biden uses religious phrasing to promote immorality.
The 28-year-old Tennessee gun-woman wasn’t a minor but was having mental-health problems, even apart from choosing homicide. One portrait of her showed a pretty young woman, while she looked mannish in a different picture.
Life can be hard enough without people these days being propagandized into thinking that their worries will be solved once they get sliced and medicated into the opposite gender.
For years leftists had said society must accept active homosexuality as a valid lifestyle. However, no sooner did the U.S. Supreme Court invent the right to “gay marriage” than leftists took the next step, into transsexualism as the newest social imperative.
And once they conquer on this frontier? Then the “constitutional right” to pedophilia? To polygamy? To bestiality? A leftist without a vigorous crusade is a leftist without meaning to life. Even if their crusades finally mean madness.
There was no end to the extremes the Democrat Party kept chasing. Did this begin when Democrats officially accepted the elites’ mandate for permissive abortion as a core of their platform? Once they embraced this fundamentally abhorrent practice, there was no way they could resist whatever additional evils were pressed on them?
Pointing Pistols
Only a few hours after the murders in Nashville, the press secretary of a Democratic governor in the West tweeted out a GIF of a woman in a 1980 movie pointing two handguns, along with the press secretary’s caption, “Us when we see transphobes.”
The only possible meaning was, “I’m one of those who points my pistols when I see people who disagree with transsexuality.”
This press secretary, Josselyn Berry, happened to be the spokeswoman for none other than radical leftist Democrat Katie Hobbs, the specially selected new governor of Arizona and pro-abortion, open-borders extremist who her media cheerleaders usually try to cover up for.
Berry’s work history was as a left-wing Democrat, most recently before serving Hobbs as the communications director for the Arizona Senate’s Democratic Party caucus, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Two days later, on March 29, Hobbs’ office issued a cryptic-sounding four-sentence news release that ended with this, without naming anyone or anything: “The post by the Press Secretary is not reflective of the values of the administration. The Governor has received and accepted the resignation of the Press Secretary.”
Note that the news release didn’t say Hobbs demanded the resignation or had fired Berry. Merely that Berry for some reason had handed in her resignation, which Hobbs accepted. Would Hobbs have angered her own radical base if she had gone so far as actually to denounce and dump a press secretary who favored pointing her pistols at moral traditionalists?
The resignation was big enough news to conservatives that national talk host Sean Hannity led off his March 29 radio program with it, while the New York Post put it online as a leading item.
However much that Arizona’s corrupt establishment had anointed and positioned Hobbs as governor in order to preclude Trumpish Republicans from power, Hobbs still had the problem of actually trying to look as if she knew what she was doing when she wasn’t being a raw political partisan and schemer.
Open-Borders Fanatics
Hobbs had to go down to the border with Mexico on March 21 to join with open-borders fanatic and Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, to pretend that they both oppose massive illegal invasion. But she wasn’t comfortable doing that.
The next day, March 22, the hosts on the Mike Russell and Rob Hunter afternoon radio talk program on KFYI (550 AM, Phoenix) said that Hobbs at the border looked absolutely miserable, as if she didn’t realize being governor would be real work — after the previous two years, when she worked from home as Arizona secretary of state.
On the other hand, Mayorkas should get a trophy for glib talk without giving answers. On March 29 the “Seeing Red AZ” blog posted a video of U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R., La.) questioning Mayorkas in Washington, D.C., about whether he agreed with Biden to want to “ban the private ownership of assault weapons in America.”
Mayorkas readily agreed with Biden. When Kennedy then asked what an assault weapon is, Mayorkas said an example would be an AK-47. Kennedy asked if Mayorkas could give a definition more broadly than a specific weapon. Mayorkas said there are such, but he began to talk about when he was a federal prosecutor in the central district of California, including giving the years. He didn’t answer Kennedy’s query.
Kennedy said this is why Mayorkas is so frustrating, because he won’t give straight answers. Mayorkas said he thought he did. The senator said he didn’t. Then Mayorkas spouted more obfuscation.
On March 29 the Arizona Sun Times posted an article after Hobbs’ border visit with Mayorkas, saying that Republican state legislators recalled that soon after taking office, Hobbs said she would defund the Border Strike Force that her predecessor, GOP Gov. Doug Ducey, created in 2015.
The Sun Times article cited Cong. Paul Gosar (R., Ariz.) telling Fox News: “In the same manner that Joe Biden has destroyed our country with his welcomed support for the prolonged lawlessness and drug crisis along our southern border, Katie Hobbs is destroying Arizona in three short months since taking office by her reckless dismantling of the Border Strike Task Force.
“Countless more people will die from Hobbs’ open-border policies,” Gosar said.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Supreme Court handed Hobbs a victory on one issue, a potential victory on a second, and a possible loss on a third.
Soon after taking office, Hobbs said the state needed to study its death-penalty procedures and wouldn’t have executions in the meantime. (Of course, she meant stopping the executions of convicted serious criminals. But she insisted on continued unrestricted abortion of innocent infants.)
This had the effect of stopping the execution scheduled for April 6 of a confessed first-degree murderer and kidnapper from 2002. Although the state high court had issued a warrant for this execution, it ruled on March 22 that state law doesn’t require Hobbs to carry it out.
On a separate matter, the court said the issue of sanctions against 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake could be considered for filing what Hobbs’ attorneys said was a frivolous and bad-faith lawsuit.
However, the state Supreme Court remanded one of Lake’s complaints back to a Maricopa County Superior Court judge who had dismissed her case on Christmas Eve. The high court said Judge Peter Thompson had to take another look at Lake’s complaint that Maricopa County didn’t follow proper signature-verification procedures for the general election.
But Thompson’s review was delayed to await the sanctions question.
Arizona Republican campaign consultant Constantin Querard told The Wanderer on March 28: “Lake lost on almost every point and the courts are considering sanctions for part of her legal actions. I’m not an expert in the court’s process, but apparently the issue of sanctions needs to be resolved before the lone count that Lake prevailed on in her appeal can be revisited by the lower court.
“Will the delay make any difference in the eventual outcome? It shouldn’t,” Querard said, “since Lake either convinces the court or she doesn’t. But it does mean the process lasts for an extra two or three weeks.”
