Uvalde Texas
Border Patrol could wait no longer
The Border Patrol agents who killed the school shooter in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday entered the school on their own accord after local law enforcement requested that they hold back, two senior federal law enforcement sources told NBC News on Friday. The agents from BORTAC, Border Patrol’s tactical unit, arrived at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde from a location about 40 miles away, according to the New York Times.
Schrödinger’s serial killers
Excerpted from Jonah Goldberg at The Dispatch:
Let’s accept that there’s a strong causal link between bullying and becoming a mass shooter. There’s still the fact that most people who are bullied in school don’t become mass murderers. …
Making schools more nurturing and supportive is not in conflict with making them physically safer. … I am pretty confident that there are some schools that are incredibly well-designed and heavily guarded that are also quite nurturing. If you see a family home with a state-of-the-art security system there’s no reason to assume it’s less loving and nurturing inside. …
Over the last two decades schools have leapt into the anti-bullying cause. I am sure there is less bullying in my high school today than there was when I attended. … [but] when everything is permitted, when everyone has a “reason” to do something, we act as if that lessens their responsibility for their actions, when it should mean the opposite. The sociological obsession with root causes saps the importance of agency.
This 10 year old survived the slaughter
KENS 5 News in San Antonio spoke with one of the few survivors from the fourth grade class at Robb Elementary, who wanted to share what happened to his classmates. “We have a door in the middle, and he opened it and came in and crouched a little bit and said, ‘It’s time to die,’” the 10-year-old remembered.
“When he shot, it was very loud and it hurt my ear. When I saw the bullets on the floor it was real. And when I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he wouldn’t find us. I was hiding hard and I was telling my friend not to talk because he was going to hear us. The cops said [shout] ‘help’ if you need help. And then one of the persons in my class said ‘help,’ and the guy overheard and he came in and shot her. And then the cops barged in into that classroom, and then the guy shot the cops and the cops just started shooting at him. …
[Ms. Irma and Ms. Eva] were nice teachers, and they went in front of my classmates to help and save them. I would like to say for every kid and parent to be safe.”
The massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, 05-24-22 has produced the usual demands to “do something.” We share the impulse and the anger, but what specifically to do? …
So-called red-flag laws that give police the ability to deny guns to people who may pose a risk to the community have been useful in some cases. But they are hard to enforce, as we recently learned in Buffalo. New York state has a red-flag statute, and Payton Gendron was even referred for mental counseling. He still got a gun. — Wall Street Journal.
The statement that the Second Amendment is not absolute is certainly true. There are laws that can be crafted within the confines set out under controlling Supreme Court precedent. … President Biden repeated his claim that certain weapons were prohibited at the time that the Second Amendment was ratified. That is simply untrue. — law professor Jonathan Turley.

And also with you, David. Thanksgiving is my top favorite holiday. (aka: Holy Day).
It’s easy to feast without worrying about presents. But this Thanksgiving may be tough for some. Our country faces difficult times, economically, politically, morally and spiritually.
I’m thinking and praying for those Waukesha families, … those who witnessed it and especially those whose loved ones were injured or killed by that murdering racist sociopath. They’ll mark this Thanksgiving with an emptiness in their hearts and an empty chair at their table.
We are as divided as ever, even Thanksgiving is under attack by the radical Left.
Today we’re thanking God to be Americans, for our faith, our families and our freedom.
I wonder who the godless, secular-progressive Left thanks on Thanksgiving?
We are indeed an exceptional nation. We are the inheritors of the patriots who declared,
“All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

No -you-may-not. Turn off Tucker and enjoy your turkey. You did pay an extra dollar for it this year, but those stimulus checks covered that. Mourning Thanksgiving? Who exactly and where? They are just enjoying the time off. I call BS on the supremacist thing. Prove it. Are you just quoting Lara Trump on that? The Native American thing? They regret ever laying eyes the white guys; think about it. GO BEARS…

The priests & nuns used to tell us that praying for loved ones is easy. Praying for your enemies, not so much.
It’s hard to pray & show compassion for people who willingly & knowingly put their money, wealth, career & political ambitions ahead of the welfare of others.
It’s hard to pray for district attorneys and legislators who accept campaign blood money then work overtime to unleash psychopathic criminals who go on to kill innocent people, including children.
It’s hard to pray for people, like those in corporate media, whose lies and manipulation result in division and unrest.
It’s hard to pray for people who lead campaigns that destroy the livelihoods of others, knowing it’s based on lies.
Praying for these people is indeed difficult though it’s these very same people who need God’s grace the most.
Happy Thanksgiving!
