I am not in the mood this morning to have fun with our glorious MSM. For the record, see this morning’s front pages’ collection: “Newspaper headlines: ‘Cruise ships and barges’ to house migrants and ‘fresh cash for NHS’” (link). It’s the usual screaming mix, using ‘trigger’ words like ‘NHS’ and ‘migrants’ in their headlines.
Only the grauniad, leading with an apology for ‘the founder’s link to slavery’, has the report of the mass shooting in a primary school in the USA on their front page – nicely relegated to the bottom of the page. Three teachers and three nine-year-old children were shot.
My great-granddaughter is nine years old. It’s the reason why I don’t care about our political shenanigans today, so forgive me for writing about this mass shooting. There is another reason for my taking a closer look: the MSM in the USA and here are in disarray as to how best to report.
This may surprise you because usually, whenever someone in the USA commits such mass shootings, our papers are full of reports, usually blaming US gun laws and US police. Opinion makers also get their say. Today is different – for a reason.
Our MSM, especially the TV stations, get their US news from reports in US media. The BBC and SKY news reported last evening, so our broadsheets ought to have produced something. After all, it was on the BBC, so it did happen. Why were their reports placed under ‘also ran’ in their ‘world news’ column? Again – there’s a reason.
Firstly, please watch this video by Paul Joseph Watson who explains much better than I ever can why the media in the USA and here are so mealy-mouthed. The ‘shooter’, i.e. the murderer, was a transgender ‘male’, i.e. a biological female and the ‘gender police’ was in full flow about how improperly the MSM over there reported.
To be fair, SKY news did mention this in their report’s headline: “Nashville school shooting: Transgender killer who murdered three kids was ex-student who made ‘manifesto’ and maps of building” (link). Note that the reporter carefully omitted mentioning the gender , trans or ‘cis’, of the murderer. This becomes obvious in the subtitle (all emphases are mine):
“The attacker was shot dead by police after a confrontation with officers following the assault at the Covenant School. They were armed with two assault-type weapons and a pistol. ” (link)
That should have been ‘he’, correct? The headlines of the reports in the BBC (link) and the guardian (link) also carefully omit this detail. They do point out that this primary school is a ‘private Christian school’ where the murderer was a pupil.
We’re clearly meant to assume that these Christian teachers harmed the murderer for not acknowledging her ‘correct gender’. How this should even have been possible twenty years ago – who knows! After all, she was 28 years old when police shot her (link). No explanation why three innocent nine-year-olds had to be killed.
Next, a quick look at a report in the guardian which does address the dilemma. There are the somewhat reassuring title and subtitle:
“Nashville school shooter’s identity may make them an exceptionally rare perpetrator – According to all recorded data, the US epidemic of mass shootings are committed overwhelmingly by cis males” (link)
These observations keep the official gender narrative somewhat on track:’exceptional’ because ‘other mass shooters are ‘overwhelmingly cis males’. Scrolling down this ‘explanation’, we find that the gender police in the grauniad is hard at work, hitting all the usual buttons:
“The exceedingly rare nature of a shooter who is anything other than cis male is unlikely to stop far-right agitators from seizing on Hale’s trans identity to forward culture war objectives. Within hours of the shooting, Charlie Kirk, an extremist provocateur affiliated with Donald Trump, was calling for a ban on “gender affirming care for kids”.” (link)
Yay – Trump! Note the unexpected affirmation that we do have a ‘culture war’. But the author doesn’t stop there. He/she/it – who knows if he’s a cis- or trans-male – has found the culprit, the real reason why this ‘exceptional’ murderer killed three teachers and three nine-year-old children:
“Such toxic responses to the shooting are likely to find fertile ground among some sectors of Tennessee society. The state’s Republican leadership has been at the forefront of the movement to pass anti-trans legislation that has swept the US. Earlier this month, Tennessee became the first state to ban drag shows. Its legislature is setting the pace for at least 16 other Republican-controlled states that are debating similarly draconian measures.” (link)
Yes, that’s right: prohibiting drag shows in primary schools made this murderer feel forced to kill those teachers and children. I have no words to describe how sickening I find this ‘explanation’.
Finally, both the DT and The Times are congratulating the Nashville police. That is unheard of, especially in the current climate where we only ever hear about ‘police brutality’. First, the DT with a remarkably strong description of what the Nashville police did:
“How swift police action ended Nashville school shooter’s 14-minute reign of terror – Officers praised as bodycam footage reveals their quick response to take down Audrey Hale – in contrast with earlier massacres” (paywalled link)
Next, here’s The Times’ headline “Bodycam video shows police shooting Nashville school murderer” (link, paywalled). Both reports describe the content of that bodycam video, both mention in the text that the murderer was trans-gender.
At least so far, only the usual suspects posturing in the grauniad are blaming ‘anti-gender legislation’ for the murders. Had those awful right-wing Christians not legislated against allowing explicit transgender ‘education’ and drag queen shows in primary schhools. no shooting would have taken place, correct?
Will some other MSM ‘explanations’ point at the terrible hormone testosterone? ‘Cis-males’ are full of it, and it’s used to ‘transition’ females into males. Surely this is an ‘explanation’ for why the murderer shot those six innocent people? Or would questioning the role of the hormone destroy the fabrication of ‘trans-males’?
That’s all I have for today. I grieve for the teachers and for those three nine-year-old children and their families. I never thought that my anger at the ‘trans’ ideology could increase. It has. Why are our MSM and politicians so cowardly, bowing to the trans-ideologues, ruining our children’s lives? Sorry, I can’t wish you a good day, not today.
Here we are, the country run by the most incompetent Conservative government and led by the most incompetent prime minister for a long time perhaps with the exception of his predecessor Boris Johnson, and the latest opinion poll has put Reform UK at 4%. Well, it has to be said that that at least the opinion poll rating now reflects the latest by local authority by election results of Reform UK in terms of vote share. We are in desperate need of a right of centre alternative to the Conservatives Party right now, yet whatever little the leader of Reform UK is saying is simply not resonating with the electorate. In a nutshell Reform UK does not cut the mustard in any shape or form at the moment and there needs to be radical shake up at the top and put somebody else in place who knows what they are talking about. They had a chance last week when Farage announced to the world or should I say to an empty room that he was returning political fray in an advisory role. Well, that’s not working that’s for sure as we needed him at the helm. It is an opportunity therefore for the UK Independence Party to take the bull by the horns and become the main right of centre challenger party because as it stands Reform UK will never make that all important electoral breakthrough, and not in a month of Sundays either.
Interesting article here on the topic.

The Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN). Whatever next?
I know we are told the seasons are advancing because Climate Change, but is it really April 1st already?
DM reports: “It’s the intersex intercity! South Western Railway launches UK’s first ‘intersex-inclusive Pride train’ operated exclusively by LGBTQIA+ staff members on first journey.”
So in true Orwellian style, inclusive now means exclusive. What special skills do these LGBTQIA+ staff have that raises them above and excludes ‘normal’ staff? Do the trains run faster, keep better time, are they cleaner or have better food (vegan no doubt)? What services/facilities do these ‘rainbow people’ provide that normal staff cannot? Or perhaps I don’t want to know. Train operators worth their salt should have pride in their service, not in the imagined genders of some of their staff.
“They were armed with two assault-type weapons and a pistol.”
Uh? Yes ‘They’ in correct usage is plural. But this ‘they’ was an individual.
Hence it should have read, “They WAS armed …” if media must follow the madness.
But in the real world it should’ve been ‘she’, anyway.
Also, isn’t it normally the shooter who is blamed and deemed to have been radicalised by extreme right-wing hate.
In this case there is no talk of HIM/HER/THEY being radicalised by extreme left wing trans groups.
Instead it’s the victims’ fault for being Christians, which, in the warped extreme trans lobby (and some of the media), makes them automatically transphobes, so makes them legit targets. So it wasn’t They’s fault; they deserved it. Surely it’s time to use the word Heterophobes agains the trans extremists.
I was too late to post yesterday, but re. Andrew Bailey, and how ‘useless’ he is: that is from the same misdirection handbook as saying the plandemic response was well-meant blundering.
I must remind people again that as well as Governor of the BoE, he sits on the Board of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel. The mother nest of Globalists. It’s where he gets his instructions. And for them he is far from useless; he is doing just the job they want. Like Boris, ineptitude is a facade; taking the flack for which he cares not a jot and is well rewarded.
There are very few journalists left and so far as there are still some, if there are, they work for editors who are part of the establishment. Two forces have corrupted and emasculated our media (if I may use that gendered term). The first is the political control that began with Alistair Campell under Tony Blair. Access was withheld from journalists too criticial of the govermment and editorial control became unconconsiously skewed, if not also conscioulsy, toward following goverment narratives. The second is the existential threat of alternative media rendering editors fearful of controversy. The slow death of a free press is accelerated by the government’s online safety bill.
Humza Yousah has posted pictures of himself praying with his family in Bute House. Kate Forbes was harassed relentlessly for being a Christian and questioned whether her religious views disqualified her for a poliitcal leadeship. The hypocrisy, the repudiation of our heritage, is striking. The MSM will not highlight it or call it out. The UK’s dominant religion has changed, probably in the late eighties sometime between the cases of Ray Honeyford and Salman Rushdie, but reaching fruition when Blair abolished the primary purpose rule for immigration and repealed the law on sedition. (So much of what we see wrong today is traceable back to Blair).
I agree it’s not a good day today. It wasn’t yesterday and won’t be tomorrow.
Too right Stout. We have a New Labour government. Anyone with an agenda to De-Blair the country gets my vote. All that new labour legislation belongs in the bin. Repeal the lot.
Sorry to be off topic but this is interesting. Here is some footage that won’t be seen in the UK, apparently it’s only been shown in China. I can’t vouch for the authenticity of this footage but it looks very convincing if not horrific. Apparently, NATO tanks and armoured vehicles were sent to Ukraine but destroyed by the Russians as soon as they arrived. Perhaps NATO is getting its but kicked in Ukraine. Two minutes long and the best bits are near the end.

Nasty. Interesting the way the drones tuck their wings in en route to target, converting to a missile. I suppose is the 155 mm tank shells going up caused the Secondary explosion. Really nasty.
The shooting, some four thousand miles away is not as important to me as say, what is going on 20 miles across the channel, both unreported protests and the unreported banking collapse.
My take was a msm mantra that the uSA should ban legally held guns. Their Constitution specifically allows the population ‘weapons’ for good reasons. And in any case what business is it of ours? Should we publish every beheading in the Middle East; protest uSA drinking laws (illegal till 21!); ‘allow’ coal fired Chinese power stations et al? Can you vote them out – like you can vote to rid ourselves of laws made by Brussels?
I may have had a sheltered life but I thought cis was a typo. It is not anything we discuss at over lunchtime. Engineers like myself cant be bothered with parlour games like ‘how many genders’ there are. There are two. Plus extremely rare exceptions such as hermaphrodite. And no, it is not a religion just yet.
Yeah – but! I have a bit of skin in this game because of my great-granddaughter who’ll ‘legally’ be exposed to this sort of trans ideology thanks to the Welsh tinpot dictator. We all know how easy it is to brainwash children and how much effort is needed to counteract the latest efforts of governments to push acceptance of Net Zero and this genders into their minds. Remember that for example Welsh school kids will be offered insects for lunch if their headmaster thinks it’s a brilliant idea?
Taking a stand against the co-vaxx was hard enough for parents. Now they have to fight against Stonewall. Yes, we can’t do anything about nuthin’ happening in the USA, but equally we can’t do anything about what the Frogs do across the Channel. We’re even incapable of doing something about the Westminster Uniparty …
Aristotle: “Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man”
Clearly believed by the child abusers in our education system.
Perhaps GB News has now fallen into the politically correct trap by calling the Channel crossing illegal immigrants “asylum seekers”. Surely the UN rules state that they must claim asylum in the first safe country that they enter? The only conclusion that I can reach is that “our” government is complicit in the destruction of our country; otherwise they would cease recognition of the ECHR and remove the illegals. (https://www.gbnews.com/opinion/immigration-news-channel-crossings-rishi-sunak-legislation-control-borders-nigel-nelson)
Jack…….GB News is a dead loss period. It fell into the politically correct trap some time ago. And some of the presenters, well I give up. It seems at least to me that its primary purpose is to spend countless minutes each hour advertising itself, and one wet blanket presenter says ‘its like a family getting to know our viewers and listeners’……I mean give me a break what a load of utter tosh. The sad fact of the matter is that they are not really interested in what the viewers and listeners have to say at all, and invariably mention no more than eight or nine messages sent into them per hour. I only listen to Michelle Dewberry and Nigel Farage and maybe a little of Jacob Rees-Mogg, but the rest do my head in. Boring and tedious beyond belief.
“The only conclusion that I can reach is that “our” government is complicit in the destruction of our country; otherwise they would cease recognition of the ECHR and remove the illegals”
Well Jack, if you have only just now come to that conclusion I can understand why you are not a member of a centre Right party. Better the realisation now than never though.
There can be no doubt that inculcating the idea in children that gender is a choice (and there’s more than two genders) is a very stupid idea. When we start to depart from facts and fiction substitutes it, there’s bound to be trouble. We are raising a generation without a logical background or moral compass. There’s no doubt a lot of this dangerous c**p originates on the internet and of late in some of our schools.
Is it random or a planned attack on Western civilisation?
The discrepancy lies in the brains of these people. No doubt being told this Woke rubbish reinforces a feeling already there.
I have heard theories that various things are causing brain damage including air pollution and “Roundup” herbicide.

Definitely the latter.
Viv – well at least the police shot him. I can’t stand this transgender BS it makes me sick, it’s vile. When I’m in town I see blokes with beards but female hair styles, some carry handbags and wear feminine clothes, I happen to think that they all need shooting.
I recently saw a bloke that looked like a building site labourer with a six o clock shadow walking around in woman’s dress and high heels, I nearly threw up.
I’ve read reports that this shooting is just another false flag and the papers are full of lefties wanting a gun ban, I think that this is true, so perhaps we can blame Biden.
Time to bin all this transgender nonsense especially in schools where it might promote such change in identification by gullible kids. If someone is genuinely “queer” then I don’t believe they should be persecuted but neither should it be celebrated. Of course the more who are converted, especially by physical intervention, the more the UN population reduction agenda is progressed. Is that one reason behind its promotion?
Jack. It is unlikely that any establishment party government will do anything to stop/halt/control/ the excesses of the ‘transgender nonsense’. It is up to parents of children to take their children away from state schools and educate them at home or better still if a group of say 20 parents take their children away from school, rent some property and teach them themselves. That way they can share the costs/time/materials and guarantee their children are not indoctrinated. Plenty of non establishment churches would welcome a little rent (keep well clear of the Church of England they have sold out to the LBQT + just like all establishment bodies.
