Quote of the Day: “I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office.” Milton Friedman
On Monday, Audrey Hale, a former student at The Covenant School in Nashville TN, entered the school and shot three adults and three students to death. Jonathan Mattise of the Associated Press reported on this on Page A8 yesterday and again on Page A9 today. On Tuesday, he reported that the shooter was armed with ‘assault-style’ weapons. We now know that this is incorrect. Was there a correction in his article today? No. We now know that the killer was trans and she targeted the Christian school. Did Mattise mention this in either article. No. The killer appears to had a manifesto but it isn’t being released – yet. I wonder what it will say about targeting 9 year old Christian children.
The Editorial today talks about the closing of the Roxham Road “entry point”. The Editorial uses the word “migrant” six times. It doesn’t use the words “illegal immagrant” at all. This tells me enough about the Editorial and the people who wrote it. Pathetic.
Once again, we are subjected to the “writings” of Henry A. Giroux. He tells us without a single shred of evidence or any link or reference to backup his claims about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis when he says: “His authoritarian agenda is evident in his banning of books, use of state power to dictate school curricula, embrace of white supremacy, and his abuse of political power to punish corporations such as Disney that disagree with his attack on LGBTQ people.” Just exactly why is this nonsense on the Insight Page?
