“…In the weeks before the attack, Garcia posted more than 2 dozen photos of the Allen Premium Outlets mall, where the mass shooting occurred Saturday afternoon, and surrounding areas, including several screenshots of Google location information, seemingly monitoring the mall at its busiest times.
Many of Garcia’s posts referenced his mental health. In his final post, he lamented what his family might say and wrote that no psychologist would have been able to fix him. He wrote that he had expressed similar thoughts to his commanding officer.
…Garcia joined the Army in June 2008 but was kicked out after three months for a physical or mental condition.
…So, he was dismissed from the military over mental health concerns. It’s a chopped salad of narrative manufacturing, but again, Garcia appears to be a mentally disturbed individual who committed a mass killing. The neo-Nazi postings are irrelevant regarding how a person this disturbed could purchase weapons. It’s a slippery slope. Garcia’s rants and heinous views do not prohibit him from owning firearms. If he had a violent episode, like an assault, which wasn’t properly documented, this shooting would become more tragic because it would have been preventable.”
“…Neely was on what outreach workers refer to as the “Top 50” list — a roster maintained by New York City of the homeless people living on the street most urgently in need of assistance and treatment. An unnamed employee of the Bowery Residents’ Committee, a nonprofit organization that does subway outreach for the city, told the New York Timesthat Neely had hundreds of encounters with social workers and was taken to hospitals numerous times, both voluntarily and involuntarily.
Neely also racked up more than three dozen arrests. Many of them were offenses like turnstile-jumping or trespassing. However, at least four were on charges of punching people, two in the subway system…”
“…USA Today referred to the deceased Mr. Neely as a “beloved subway performer” who hailed from “a whole family of musicians.” The spin from CNN was that he was a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” known for dressing up as the King of Pop and performing unsolicited but charming dance numbers on the train. To a citizen casually observing, the impression might well be that Neely was a harmless jester, killed by a brutish (and possibly racist?) white man for dancing.
Of course, this is not at all what actually happened. In reality, the tragic struggle that killed Neely began when he went nuts on a subway car packed with riders, screaming violent threats: “I will hurt anyone on this train . . . I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison!” He was restrained by three men who stepped forward — not simply the one whom major news outlets seem grimly intent on making famous — including a black guy.
Placed in a “rear naked choke” hold, which is generally but not always nonfatal, he tragically died. Although it is too early to say for sure, drugs may well have played some role in Neely’s death: He was a regular user of powerful designer synthetics like K2. In any case, what we saw on that New York train could theoretically be a manslaughter-2-level case of excessive force, but was rather obviously not the unprovoked “lynching” of an urban icon by a bigot.
And, speaking frankly, it probably was not manslaughter. The subway riders’ perceptions of danger — including those of at least one highly trained fighting man — were in all likelihood not only real but dead-on accurate. Thanks in large part to citizen journalists online, we now know that Jordan Neely had 42 previous arrests, many for subway violence.
At the time of the fatal struggle, he had an active criminal warrant, earned for punching a 67-year-old grandmother, breaking her nose and fracturing her orbital bone. On another occasion, and for God only knows what reason, Neely tried to kidnap a small child, briefly snatching a seven-year-old girl. Almost unbelievably, there exists a decade-old Reddit thread — recently discovered by the street reporter Andy Ngo — that consists of New York taxpayers documenting the subway crimes of Jordan Neely. The title? “Try to stay away from the Michael Jackson impersonator.” Simply put: Neely was seen as a disturbed and dangerous man — because he was.
Importantly, not only is the mainstream narrative surrounding Neely’s final days almost totally false, so is the broader narrative underlying — well — the entire Black Lives Matter movement. This statement, while controversial, is accurate to a truly remarkable degree. Contra what has become an almost daily MSM through-line (“There is nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man”) there is no epidemic of interracial crime at all — and certainly no epidemic of white-on-black crime — in the United States today…”
A statement of fact as evidenced by this graphic from The Patriot Post:
Progressive lawyers and judges are well-nigh exclusively responsible for the “homeless” plaguing America’s cities, whose presence has nothing to do with a lack of housing, but rather untreated mental illness and massive substance abuse in a segment of society who refuse to adhere to any reasonable behavioral norms to which the rest of us are subject.
And as this item from NRO informs us, the substance being abused need be nothing more than the Devil’s lettuce, as a Danish study involving some 6 million people indicates as many as 30 percent of schizophrenia cases among young men may be linked to heavy marijuana use, with the proportion of new cases connected to cannabis having risen consistently since the ’70s, undoubtedly due to the significantly increased potency of a drug many continue to maintain is harmless.
Oh,…and we’re STILL awaiting the release of the Nashville trans-killer’s manifesto.

“The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system, GOP lawmakers say, that was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals. Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.
In what Representative Nancy Mace called an act of “financial gymnastics,” many payments were routed from foreign companies to the Biden family’s business associates’ companies which then doled out payments to the Bidens in incremental payments to different bank accounts in an alleged attempt to hide the source of the funds. At least nine Biden family members received payments, according to committee chairman James Comer. That includes Hunter Biden; James Biden; James Biden’s wife, Sara Jones Biden; the late Beau Biden’s wife, Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen; and “three children of the president’s son and the president’s brother.”
Much of the money came from Chinese nationals and companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Multiple Biden family members received money after it passed through an associate’s account. Comer said of the countries the Biden family was influence peddling in, China is “the most reputable.”
The committee revealed Wednesday that records suggest the Biden family and its associates’ business dealings in Romania “bear clear indication of a scheme to peddle influence” from 2015 to 2017. At the time, then-Vice President Biden spoke out against Romanian corruption while the Biden family received more than a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian national, Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu, who has been accused of corruption, sent the money through a Biden family associate, according to the committee. Sixteen of the seventeen payments involved in the deal occurred while Biden was still in office. The money “stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency,” Comer said.
The Bidens also received “millions of dollars from China,” with Comer saying it is “inconceivable that the president did not know” about the payments…”
…inDEED!

In other words, don’t believe your lying eyes and ears and consume their version of the news.
Meanwhile, as we and many others feared, FOX informs us the…
“The FBI did not comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena compelling the production of an FBI document that a whistleblower alleged describes as a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national and relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed the FBI for the document, which is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form after a whistleblower alleged that the FBI and Justice Department were in possession of it and claimed it detailed an “alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” They said the whistleblower alleged the document “includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose.”
Comer gave the FBI until Wednesday at noon to comply with the subpoena, but instead, the bureau sent a letter explaining its “confidentiality interests” and the importance of protecting sources and methods to protect U.S. national security…”
“Sources and methods to protect U.S. national security” our ass! The only people the Bureau is protecting have the last name of Biden…along whatever senior FBI personnel, likely including Chris Wray, have been sitting on the document.
“Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation by a federal civil jury in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon — a stunningly rapid verdict reached after just three hours of deliberation after a two-week trial. The jury of six men and three women unanimously concluded that the former president did not rape Carroll but concluded that he had sexually abused and forcibly touched her.
This underscores the importance of the propensity evidence that Judge Lewis Kaplan permitted the jury to hear. The two other witnesses who claim to have been sexually abused by Trump testified that they had been assaulted and forcibly groped by Trump, but not raped. And in the Access Hollywood tape that the jury heard, Trump bragged about aggressively kissing and grabbing women in their private areas but did not claim to have raped them. Given the lack of forensic corroboration of Carroll’s allegation, the jury was willing to go only so far as the other victim witnesses and Trump’s own admissions, but not further — not to the extent of rape.
Nevertheless, the sexual-abuse allegations are extraordinarily serious. The jury directed that Trump pay $2,020,000 in damages to Carroll on the sexual-abuse verdict. Trump was ordered to pay an additional $2,980,000 million for defaming Carroll, for total damages of $5 million.
The verdict proves: You can’t beat something with nothing, at least in a civil case. While Trump has complained that he was silenced by the judge (he wasn’t), the fact is that he declined to attend the trial and testify, opting instead to play golf in Europe.
It had to be infuriating to the jurors that Trump blew off the trial when they had to put their lives on hold to attend. More to the point, though, in a civil case, the litigants are expected to testify. If a defendant declines to testify, the jury may draw a negative inference — that he had no compelling defense, or was unwilling to have his story and his credibility subjected to cross-examination.
At the end of summations, Carroll’s lawyer Michael Ferrara reminded the jury — which needed no reminding — that “Donald Trump never looked you in the eye and denied” the allegations. E. Jean Carroll told the jury a disturbing story, but Donald Trump’s silence spoke volumes.”
ICYMI, here’s an incredible…
Video from Trump’s deposition:
Lawyer: “When you said that Ms. Leeds would not be your “first choice,”you were referring to her physical looks, correct?”
“No, because he did something wrong. He should’ve put the votes back to the state legislatures and I think we would’ve had a different outcome,” he said. Trump said Pence “made a mistake” by listening to lawyers who said he could not push back against the certification. “I like Mike Pence very much, he’s a very fine man, a very nice man,” Trump said. “He made a mistake.”
Perhaps these lawyers are part of the same crack legal team who brought suit on Trump’s behalf in the various swing states claiming ballot fraud without even a scintilla of evidence to back up their cases.
Moving on, here’s another sextet of special selections certain to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:
(1). Proving, like a blind squirrel finding a nut, even a Progressive politician can occasionally stumble upon reality, Gavin Newsom obfuscates the issue of his own Reparations Board’s recommendation for copious cash payments to Black Californians who never suffered the evils of slavery or Jim Crows, by noting the process “is about much more than just cash payments.” Though that’s all in which those backing reparations are interested.
(4). Following up on an earlier item, the federal government has finally seen the light and given up its efforts to force Saint Francis hospital in Oklahoma hospital to either blow out a small, sacred candle kept lit in its chapels or stop serving elderly, disabled, and low-income patients.
(5). In an out and out, bald-faced falsehood, DHS Secretary…

…and last, but certainly not least, this very timely reminder for parents courtesy of Tom Neale:
Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with yet another sordid story straight from The Crime Blotter, as in a final parting shot, soon-to-be-ex-St. Louis Circuit Attorney…
“Police in St. Louis, Missouri, said a woman who was arrested for her alleged role in a weekend shooting is no longer in custody because the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office is refusing to press charges, according to reports.
According to FOX 2 in St. Louis, Amber Booker, 33, was arrested by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department during an investigation into a shooting toward the end of a Cinco de Mayo festival on Saturday night. Police shared images of two suspects involved in the shooting, with one image depicting a woman suspected to be Booker, and another of a man. In both pictures, the suspects are holding guns.
The news station learned from the police department that circuit attorney Kim Gardner’s office refused to press charges because of a “lack of evidence” for each count charged. The prosecutor’s office also said the victim refused to assist in the investigation…”
Which just goes to prove George Soros, who backed not only Gardner, but San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, Philly’s Larry Krasner and Chicago’s Kim Foxx, just to name a few, is the gift…
…provided you’re a criminal.
