The shooter has been identified as a drug-using, trans, pro-Palestinian immigrant from El Salvador. And apparently a convicted felon, based on charges from her previous arrests.

I suppose they’re all holding their breath and crossing their fingers that she at least used an “AR-15.”

Updated: For those still believing that the shooter was a biological male, and that I’m “validating” the delusion by calling her “her” and “she”…

Boy who was shot at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church ‘suffered a gunshot wound to the brain’: grandmother
The 7-year-old boy who was shot when his mother Gennese Moreno attempted to shoot up Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday has suffered critical injuries, his grandmother said.
[…]
Moreno argued that the father was a registered sex offender, had multiple DWI charges, had physically assaulted her, and had never cared for the child.

The father is in prison.

So, by calling her “she” I’m actually refusing to indulge the crazy.

I think folks thought she was a guy because some reports said she used to go by “Jeffrey,” so they assumed that was a “trans-woman’s” “dead name.”

Lots of classified docs. That he knew had had (but shouldn’t). That he shared with other people.

No charges.

Basically, he did all the same shit as Trump (but Trump claims he declassed the stuff), plus Biden shared classified docs with other people; something Trump was not accused of.

Why the difference?

Hur said that part of the reason he declined to prosecute the president’s age and poor memory would create reasonable doubt for jurors.

It “would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” the prosecutor wrote.

“Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” his report added.

It would be hard to convince a jury because Biden appears to be mentally incompetent.

25th Amendment time.

Added: Here’s the actual report. Took me a few minutes to find it.

I was reading about some low-hanging fruit moron whom the feds busted for an unregistered suppressor (although there may be more charges related to his plan — accompanied by three feddie CIs — to go to the southern border and shoot illegals).

Bit this illustration of a “sniper rifle” caught my eye.

That’s AI generated. The same sort of “AI” that pseudo-savvy, wannabe experts want running the world.

And I’m beginning to think that Boeing used AI to design and construct the 737 MAX aircraft. That would explain a lot.

It seems Minnesota Dim-wits have decided this is the perfect time to make Minnesota a sanctuary state.

I wonder how this will go over with the majority of Minnesotans, once the ramifications sink in.

First, and most obvious, are the two cases that linked story mentions: the known terrorist which the feds let in for a year, and the illegal who recently murdered three people.

And since these sanctuaries inevitably think — and act on the thought impulse — that they have to reward illegal border-crossers with free everything, it’s gonna get expensive for the taxpayers.

Other issues might not be so obvious… like Minnesota citizens will no longer be able to fly commercial.

A [Minnesota] government agent shall not, at the request of any federal authority, without a judicial warrant,” the bill states, “transfer an individual to any federal authority for purposes of immigration enforcement,” “detain an individual,” or “notify any federal authority of release information.”

In addition, the bill asserts that no state or local employee, which includes teachers, could “stop, question, investigate, detain, detect, report, or arrest a person” that is suspected to be an illegal immigrant.

“No “government agent shall…” That would include clerks at the DMV, which means Minnesota driver licenses and state IDs will no longer be REAL ID compliant; no access to air travel or federal buildings. Of course, since illegals are allowed to fly without an ID, they can still travel.

Crime, higher tax, and travel restrictions; right off the4 top of my head. My sister noted that, since they couldn’t ask about our status, that we should Minnesota and demand all the free stuff, too.

Growing up, I never ever expected to see an automotive recall “due to incorrect font sizes.”

And why they have to do a recall instead of pushing a software update beats me.

But then, I don’t recall cars in the science fiction novels of my youth getting software updates either.

Uninformed “Whistleblowers”
I spotted an odd headline today.

Post Office Gun Ban Struck Down
Federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, of the Middle District of Florida, ruled that the ban on firearm possession in post offices is unconstitutional, in US v. Ayala. She cites the BRUEN test of general, historical legal tradition.

Mizelle gave the government multiple chances to present some evidence of such historical tradition. The best they could do?

Not bloody likely. But it will be interesting to see the court’s mental gymnastics to rationalize keeping him on it.

Illinois Voters File Objections to Strike Biden From Primary Ballot
The first objection argues that President Biden violated Illinois election law when he opted to have his statement of candidacy notarized by David E. Kalbaugh, the White House executive clerk.

“Biden’s Statement of Candidacy was notarized by David E. Kalbaugh, a Notary Public commissioned in the District of Columbia,” wrote petitioners Beth Findley Smith and Timothy Conrad, both Illinois voters.
But under Illinois law, a candidate’s statement of candidacy “shall be subscribed and sworn to by such candidate before some officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds in this State.”

Illinois law is pretty definite: “shall request that the candidate’s name be placed upon the official ballot and shall be subscribed and sworn to by such candidate before some officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds in this State“

My first guess is that the judge will try dismissing this due to the plaintiffs somehow lacking standing. Failing that, he’ll suddenly find the magic words in this State… or the equivalent officer of another state or district. The rationale for the latter is what I’m looking forward to.

There’s another petition demanding Gropin’ Joe’s removal from the ballot based on a Fourteenth Amendment, Section claim. That one should be considered DOA; but the plaintiffs’ rationale is actually a bit closer to reality that the 14A claims against Trump.

Several more to go. LaPierre is out at the Vichy NRA.

That’s One Of My Conditions…
… to ever even considering re-joining the Vichy NRA.

That’s one. Well, actually two, now, since getting rid of Chris Cox was another of my conditions.

Tesla Robot Suffers Malfunctions and Attacks Engineer at Texas Factory, Leaving ‘Trail of Blood’
A robotic malfunction at Tesla’s Giga Texas factory resulted in a violent encounter where an engineer was attacked by one of the company’s robots, resulting in significant injuries and leaving a ‘trail of blood.’

According to the Daily Mail, while working on software programming for non-functional Tesla robots, the engineer was suddenly pinned against a surface by a robot tasked with manipulating aluminum car components, with its metal claws inflicted an injury that left an ‘open wound’ on the worker’s left hand.

“Two of the robots, which cut car parts from freshly cast pieces of aluminum, were disabled so the engineer and his teammates could safely work on the machines. A third one, which grabbed and moved the car parts, was inadvertently left operational, according to two people who watched it happen. As that robot ran through its normal motions, it pinned the engineer against a surface, pushing its claws into his body and drawing blood from his back and his arm, the two people said,” The Information reported.
