The cop that shot her had a history of questionable judgment. About a dozen officers at the scene and he was the only one that felt threatened to the point lethal force was necessary. I believe he radioed in "shots fired" implying the protesters were shooting. But it was him that fired the only shot.

She must be looking for attention.

It's the first I heard of this guy.

Sure the guys has an agenda. Politicans all have an agenda. Believe it or not. But that doesn't mean England is free of any immigrant issues.

Shouldn't he be subject to the same scrutiny? I think so. But i expect any ethics, or legal, removal from office would need to come from the Governor's office.

The NYT story yesterday is claiming the Minneapolis trans shooter's motive is still "a mystery". Huh? (Kunstler's stuff below is always a good read) The War On Reality is Over “. . . this time the story has escaped the narrative guardrails and some real reckoning looms.” —Jeff Childers James Howard Kunstler Aug 29, 2025 Unwittingly, that New York Times headline is a wondrous case of the self-solving mystery. You come here to understand the many social and political mysteries of the day. I will attempt to unravel this hairball. Most obviously, the suspect, now dead, in Wednesday’s Minneapolis school shooting was not a “her.” He was a him, a 23-year-old male, Robert Westman, who had been pretending to be a female for some years since undergoing puberty, with the encouragement of his parents and the cultural leaders of his city, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, backed by the expressed principles of the national Democratic Party. The essence of all that was a gigantic game of pretend, a broad and deliberate dissociation from reality for the purpose of maintaining a political racketeering operation, which is what the Democratic Party had become. Pretend that men can become women. Pretend that Covid vaccinations are safe and effective. Pretend that national borders don’t matter. Pretend that crime is not a social problem. Pretend that riots are mostly peaceful. Pretend that our elections are free and fair. Pretend that “Joe Biden” is president. Pretend that Ukraine is fighting for democracy. And so on. All pretend. Since the Democratic Party has zero useful ideas for improving the lives of this country’s citizens, all it has is pretend theater, which is public performative psychopathology, otherwise known as acting-out. Mass murders of school-children by so-called trans people are the most garish and horrific actings-out, the most offensive to society, a slaughter of innocents. Such an act grabs everybody’s attention. The New York Times pretends that all this is “a mystery” because to tell the truth would inculpate them in the ongoing criminal racketeering operation of their patron, the Democratic Party. They all know what the truth is in this matter: that Robert Westman became insane, at least in his time of puberty, possibly earlier, and that his parents resorted to persuading their child that he was born in the wrong body — as the trendy theory goes — to remedy his psychological distress. He was thereafter influenced to play-act as a female. Possibly, he was induced to go through some stage of medical “treatment” to supposedly advance his transition to the opposite sex — for instance, a hormone regimen. This has not yet been reported. (Has it even been investigated by police or the news media?) Of course, “gender-affirming medical care” is a vicious fraud, as is the preposterous idea of “sexual assignment at birth” (as if it is some kind of error-ridden clerical function). Males cannot be changed into females no matter how much their hormones are altered or how much surgery they endure. It is all just costuming and makeup, to an extreme degree, to enhance the game of pretend. It is also bound to be nightmarishly disappointing to the person undergoing such malign rigors. As in the case of psycho-killer Robert Westman, he discovered his tragic mistake in exactly the period of life — emerging into adulthood — when emotions tend to be most labile. If he also happened to be on psychotropic drugs such as SSRIs (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, etc.), known to produce suicidal and homicidal thinking, combined with his emotional instability, there you have an obvious recipe for disaster. None of that is mysterious. Nor was the record he left behind in his “manifesto” or in the videos and social media postings he put up. Westman evinced stark rage and despair over the poor choice he was induced to make at a time in his life before the judgment region of his brain had fully developed. “I’m tired of being trans,” he wrote. “I wish I had never brainwashed myself.” It was hardly his own fault, though. He was pushed to do it by his own family and strongly supported by the culture that surrounded him in Tim Walz’s “trans refuge state” of Minnesota — the state that also gave us George Floyd, the fake martyr to black victimhood, whose death provoked a years’ long national race-hustle. And, of course, Tim Walz was a recent standard-bearer for the Democratic Party, a signature figure for all their insanity. Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis looks like a hinge event in American politics. We’re done pretending. Trans is done as a political fashion-statement. Doctors will have to give up their pretenses about “gender-affirming care” if they don’t want to be bankrupted by lawsuits or prosecuted for criminal malpractice. Politicians like Walz and Frey will eventually shut-up about trans. But you can sense something else beyond that. America is done being bullied and guilt-tripped into the matrix of untruth altogether, and the racketeering that thrives in it. And we are going after the racketeers. This week, President Trump suggested a RICO investigation and potential prosecution of George and Alex Soros, for using their vast philanthropic Open Society empire as a colossal money-laundering operation to fund Democratic Party activities, including all their efforts to disorder the legal system, sponsor riots, pay illegal migrants, promote trans activism, rig elections, and underwrite sedition. Without that money-flow — much of it used to winkle taxpayer dollars out of Congress — the party can’t keep paying its Antifa foot-soldiers in the streets, or the lavish salaries of its middle managers in a world of corrupt non-profit orgs. Between that and the coming prosecution of its many stars from the Clintons to Adam Schiff to New York Attorney General Letitia James and many other names you are familiar with, the Democratic Party — and its war against reality — may be truly done.

All hypocrisy argument aside, can you muster up the courage to admit there's credible and sufficient evidence that Fed board member Ms. Cook acted improperly?

And that would disqualify him from a position on the Fed. There's a lawsuit filed by Ms. Cook which is going to be heard under a "randomly" selected anti-Trump judge. Guess if you can how she'll rule? I understand it's not 2 but 3 properties now. 2 primary residences and a loan for what the applicant clearly stated is a 2nd home which is in reality a rental and 3rd home. So 2 clerical errors. Ex the partisan politics routine always at play on PPP I'm starting to get cynical about the integrity of the American political class. And it's not confined to 1 specific person or 1 specific party. Unethical behavior seems to be a requirement for these jobs.

Don't worry. These types of price increases won't show up in the CPI. The current methodology assumes consumer substitution when faced with higher prices. So high beef prices will result in consumers substituting lower cost chicken. Hocus, pocus, no inflation.

It was either Trump and his circus act or Harris and a continuation of an insane liberal agenda. And we all know the circus is more fun than being subjected to constant pontificating on alleged and most times imaginary social injustice and racism. The cleanest pig in the mud hole analogy in practice.

It was really never about following the science. It was following the scientist.

Parents that don't want their daughters raped by swarzy foreigners that have no respect for their host country or its customs or laws doesn't make them anarchists.

That's the reason banks and other financial institutions employ an army of property appraisers. They just don't take your word for it. I had reason to visit my local bank branch last week and the manager I was sitting with brought up Home Equity credit lines as a way to "unlock" the equity in my home. But taking on more debt by borrowing against my house isn't something I'm interesting in doing at the moment. She asked me how much my home is "worth" and I threw out a number. In the fantasy world where banks just take your word for it and you can "induce" them to give you more money she would have took my number, processed and approved an application, and ran with it. But in the real world, with real money changes hands, the bank will send out an appraiser to make the determination for lending purposes. That's how it works. So these stories like plute and montrose peddle that are absent of any actual facts or figures are meaningless other than to demonstrate people can make up pretty much anything they want to make up.

At some point the locals need to appeal to officials for the application of decency and common sense. And when that fails they need to go all Braveheart on their asses.

What laws are these "MAGA" people breaking? And by MAGA I mean your ordinary run of the mill average citizen.

The consistently low workforce participation rate invalidates your claim we need more immigrants. Add in the high utilization rate for social assistance by recent immigrants, mostly illegal, and the case crumbles. Most of the new arrivals are not here to work. Let's take H1B tech worker visas for example. Tech companies claim they need to import technical workers because of a lack of domestic labor to fill positions. Disregarding the fact that unemployment among newly graduated computer science majors is very high. Higher than liberal arts majors I've seen reported. So much for the learn to code mantra. What those tech firms using visa programs do is keep wages low. And unemployment high among domestic workers. I've lived through and witnessed the decline of America's tech work force. Now most of the jobs are outsourced to sites in India along with companies importing foreign workers that displace domestic workers. Maybe 1/5 of the jobs are held by native born citizens. Companies are enjoying lower labor costs while peddling the myth that the domestic workforce doesn't exist to fill these jobs. it does. While the administration is focusing on bringing back manufacturing, which I expect will never happen, they're completely ignoring the tech work force where on-shoring would be much easier to accomplish.

I know how we can end inflation right now. Its very simple. Raise interest rates and shrink the money supply. As long as everyone is willing to accept a 30 to 50 percent drop in the value of their 401K and IRA accounts. And maybe an uptick in the unemployment rate of a percent or two or three. I'm guessing everyone is not okay with those consequences of solving the inflation problem. Do you have a better idea?

I think you're right. Most people don't care about woke. That's why its so unpopular now. It was a construct of the intellectuals running and working in the university systems across the country. Academic environments insulated from the workings and functions of the "real" world. What happened is these academics gradually assumed control of the positions of power inside the democratic party causing their dogma to bleed out into the realm of reality where most of us work and live. Forced on businesses, government, and public affairs. They pretty much destroyed the traditional base and mission of the Dem party. Which gave rise to the Trump phenomena. Now its being pushed back where it came from, the academic fantasy world. If you don't like Trump blame the intellectuals running the party that created the conditions for his rise to power. And here we are.

My understanding of the Intel arrangement is the government is receiving an equity stake in the company in exchange for financial and other assistance to ensure the ongoing ability of the firm to continue effectively operating. Much like another company or private equity would receive. As a minority shareholder, I don't envision the US government getting into the boardroom and dictating strategy or using its influence and power to elevate Intel to some dominant position in the market. I expect there would be objections, especially from the industry, if this arrangement was "controlling interest" rather than minority ownership. That would be equivalent to the topic title "seizing control of the means of production". This isn't that.

What Trump is doing is bypassing the leaders that claim to represent the interests of inner city residents by directly acting to address their concerns about crime and unsafe neighborhoods. Which leave democrats mumbling to each other about authoritarians. It's an effective end-around strategy and makes the libs look weak and. Impotent.

Maybe playing games with what constitutes a "crime"? Is a crime a complaint or a police report? Is it an indictment, a conviction? If the police arrest somebody, gather evidence, then send the case to the DA and they refuse to indict or charge the suspect is that a crime? It sounds like the only thing they can't hide or fudge is murder if only because there's a dead guy.

The key term in "international air space". We do the same thing. Its no big deal. And the balloon thing. Yeah, it was a big deal. Biden's crew let a Chinese spy balloon fly across the US and did nothing. They should have shot it down immediately after it violated our air space.

I don't believe much of anything Maxwell is saying to DOJ lawyers. Based on her deposition, she's completely innocent of anything like sex trafficking or soliciting underage women for Epstein. Who by he way, appears to be completely innocent of anything too. At least when it comes to his association with Maxwell. She also believes he didn't commit suicide. Which by extension means she believes somebody killed him, or ordered his killing, Which begs the question who would want to kill Epstien if ther is no there, there? If there is no concern of him spilling the beans on anyone of importance? Add that if everything was on the up-and-up why would he kill himself? Spend a few weeks in jail and then set free?

Its a known fact that exercise is racist and a white supremacist trait. That's why all these socialist are girly-men.

Upon further examination, it was never really follow the science. Its was follow the scientist. And trust me, no matter how ridiculous you may believe things seem, I'm an "expert". And the record shows experts are infallible and always correct.
