While there is nothing that shows they are directly related, it's interesting to note that this attack happened right after the White House told transos that they should "fight back".

Left or right, if someone utters or writes the term "stochastic terrorisms" I know they are not to be taken seriously and remove myself from the conversation, or stop reading their ridiculous drivel.

I get where you're coming from, but at first blush this strikes me as a case of people on the right trying to hold the left to the standards that the left has invented for others, not an earnest desire to push the concept of stochastic terrorism.

Agreed, but if you are holding someone, anyone, to the standards of the screeching left, then you are necessarily acting like the screeching left.  and earnest desire or not, the Fox News is, in fact, pushing the concept forward.  Which is why they should be dismissed as stupid.  They are behaving stupidly.

I might be wrong, but I didn't see Fox connecting those two stories. They were two separate stories on their site that I, personally, connected together. In fact the press secretary one was already up by itself yesterday. The Riley one was just separately posted this morning.

As I said, I don't know that there is a direct connection between the WH propaganda and the attack. Also I don't want to be doing what the left does to us all the time and take a common phrase like "fight back" that can mean many things, and pigeon hole it into a physical attack. However, just like "trans day of vengeance", it appears the left themselves (at least an activist, mentally ill sub-population) have been taking their catch phrases literally.

Plus Riley Gaines deserves none of this. Of everyone, she was probably the most boned by Lia Thomas and the trans whackos. I saw her interviewed on the Tulsi Gabbard show and she is going through some hell.

At least the entire world hasn't gone mad. I approve of this Marion County, FL Sheriff both for his gun stance and his stance on thievery.

Gov. Abbott seeks to pardon Army sergeant convicted of murder

I do like most of what our Gov. does.  The sergeant should never even gone to trial.

SF State is praising the students for their "peaceful" protest

Quote
College swimming champion Riley Gaines slammed San Francisco State University for praising their students for so-called 'peaceful' protests after she claims she was hit 'multiple times by a guy in a dress' following a speech about saving women's sports.

Gaines, 23, was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at the San Francisco State University campus on Thursday night after a group of activists ambushed her.

It's not just kids who this should be kept from. As an adult, I don't want to see this crap at a "family friendly" public event either. What is it with these people and their dildos?

I used to listen to Underground Garage when I had Sirius, and while you could tell he was lefty, he wasn't this "peaceful hippie" violent. He did have a fascination with gangsters and murderdeathkill with guns, which seems a bit hypocritical.

Such wise counsel from Silvio Dante.  One should always listen to TV mobsters.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Does he think MAGA is only really old people?  Gen X started in 1965 according to Wiki.  I am in that group.  I certainly wouldn't join up with him.

    In this case the phrase was used as symbolism. I know you pathetic MAGotts don’t have the intelligence to recognize that but that’s your problem. Don’t project your mindless violence fantasies on this peace loving hippie. Exterminate at the ballot box was clearly what was meant. https://t.co/sE92Ew7CuK
