FBI Director Says Atlanta Shooting ‘Does
Not Appear’ Racially Motivated
Posted By: earlybird, 3/20/2021 3:21:04 PM
FBI Director Christopher Wray told NPR Tuesday’s Atlanta-area shootings that killed eight people — six of whom were Asian-American — do not seem to be linked to race, backing up local police who say the alleged shooter was probably motivated by a sex addiction rather than racial animus, a theory that’s drawn skepticism and pushback from some corners.Key Facts In a Thursday afternoon interview with NPR, Wray said suspected gunman Robert Aaron Long’s motives are still under investigation, but “it does not appear” race was his reason for allegedly shooting multiple people at three massage parlors.

On Friday, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem balked on signing House Bill 1217 when the bill to promote fairness in women’s sports crossed her desk. But instead of vetoing the legislation, Noem returned the bill to the House with what she called “recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.” The Republican governor’s spin, however, cannot withstand scrutiny—most specifically her claimed reasoning for removing collegiate athletics from the bill’s protections.
As finalized by the South Dakota legislature, Section 1 of H.B. 1217 provided that athletic teams and sports in the state, including at institutions of higher education, must be expressly designated as male, female, or coeducation.
WASHINGTON — President Biden’s economic advisers are preparing to recommend spending as much as $3 trillion on a sweeping set of efforts aimed at boosting the economy, reducing carbon emissions and narrowing economic inequality, beginning with a giant infrastructure plan that may be financed in part through tax increases on corporations and the rich.
After months of internal debate, Mr. Biden’s advisers are expected to present a proposal to the president this week that recommends carving his economic agenda into separate legislative pieces, rather than trying to push a mammoth package through Congress, according to people familiar with the plans and documents obtained by The New York Times.
Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was confronted today on multiple mainstream media outlets about the complete failure of the JoeBama administration to handle a border crisis they created. The secretary was apparently not prepared for the media to turn on him and stumbled through pathetic justifications on television.
In response, President Donald Trump released the following statement: (Image - Statement in pdf)
From several meetings and events I have been to lately, including CPAC, as well as reports from others across the country that I have heard, a revolution is brewing in the Republican Party.
It couldn’t be more necessary.
The leadership is having trouble keeping up with a rank-and-file who are increasingly distressed, even appalled, by the rapid changes in our country being instigated by the new administration and its phony claims of collegiality.(Snip)At a recent Republican meeting in a red state, a longtime state senator condescendingly blew off a question about why their Republican-dominated legislature was not following the lead of other states in restricting Big Tech and was thoroughly booed
Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) said Friday that President Joe Biden’s rhetoric was fueling what he described as a humanitarian and national security crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
(Snip) President Joe Biden rushed to end some border policies of his predecessor, proposed a pathway to citizenship for millions of people in the United States illegally, and promised in an executive order to “create a humane asylum system.”
(Snip) Biden administration has insisted that would-be immigrants should still follow the legal process for entering the country and that the border has not(Snip)been flung open, the recent surge of illegal immigration suggests that is how it’s being interpreted by many.
Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, recorded a temperature as low as -18 degrees Celsius (nearly zero degrees Fahrenheit) in the early morning. A two-day high-level talk between the United States and China has just ended in this frigid place. The high pitch of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “wolf warriors” howl and the weak U.S. response, in contrast, are really worrying.
In short, the U.S. side fell into four traps set ingeniously by the CCP during the talks.
First, the holding of high-level talks between the United States and China is itself a CCP trap.

To say the first major diplomatic summit between the United States and China was an unmitigated mess would be an understatement. Apparently U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken thought it would be of value for the domestic audience if he was to lambast the Beijing delegation in public and on camera. His efforts were a complete fail as the Chinese knew everything was presented for domestic consumption… so, the Red Dragon threw fire right back onto the purple hair and obviously stunned an unsettled U.S. Secretary. (Snip)Public insults are expressions of weakness, not strength.
President Joe Biden fell three times climbing up the stairs into Air Force One on Friday morning.
Biden, the oldest president of the United States at 78 years old, stood up from the multiple stumbles after a few seconds on the ground(Snip)
Biden’s recent fall comes among a series of verbal gaffes and frequent mental slip-ups that plagued his campaign trail and carried over into his presidential speeches. He also recently suffered a hairline fracture in his foot in November after he slipped and grabbed his dog’s tail while stepping out of the shower, an injury that required a walking boot.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday said she rejected a move by some Democrats led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress.
About 70 House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution. However, to expel a member of Congress, the bid requires a two-thirds supermajority, meaning that a significant number of Republicans would need to join.
“I’m not going to get into that,” (Snip) “Members are very unhappy about what’s happened here. And they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view. And that is not a leadership position.”
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney join Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to talk about their new movie “My Son Hunter” and how big tech, the media, and political elites covered up the Biden family’s corruption right before the 2020 presidential election. “We wouldn’t be making this movie if the media, if journalists had done their jobs,” (Snip) “…people at the mainstream media like the New York Times and CNN,(Snip) were just completely quiet in advance of the election despite the fact that this amazing bombshell was dropped into our laps on this laptop.” “(Snip) They actually intimidated other journalists(Snip)” McAleer added.
78-year-old Joe Biden fell several times while boarding Air Force One on Friday.
Biden tried jogging up the stairs to board Air Force One en route to Atlanta and fell hard on his knee.At first Biden appeared to trip on a step and quickly caught himself.
Biden tripped a second time and used his hand to break his fall but he couldn’t pull himself up.The third stumble took Biden out and he was completely down on his knees.

Videos of Joe Biden appearing dazed and confused aren’t exactly rare these days, but this latest example is fairly stark. He’s clearly not mentally well and has a hard time performing the basic duties of the office (including have much of any real interaction with the press).Here’s the video in which Biden looks like he forgets where he’s at and/or what he’s supposed to be doing.(Tweet/Video) At the beginning, he seems to be greeting people in his typical robotic fashion but then tries to just wander off.

No, I hadn't see this news item late last week, about George Bush suddenly not "owing" another president his "silence," in his string of lip-curdling insults directed at President Trump. Guess I don't view him as worth watching much. But sure enough, he had plenty of hateful things to say about President Trump for the left-wing media, and he's the smaller for it.
Here were his three worst whoppers, as cited by Business Insider:
In an interview with the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith, Bush described how watching the January 6 attack "really disturbed" him, both then and now.

A women’s magazine that tends to approach issues from a more conservative, common-sense stance accidentally embraced some liberal thinking this week. Whoops!In an almost-ratioed tweet posted Saturday, Evie Magazine called for normalizing the slapping of men “when they’ve crossed the line,” whatever that means.Look at the tweet below: (Tweet) What in the name of liberal feminists was THAT!?The tweet provoked a spate of angry replies from incensed men.

A Department of Justice prosecutor believes that former President Donald Trump could be charged for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. The DOJ federal prosecutor, Michael Sherwin, made the bombshell assertion on 60 Minutes on Sunday.“Has the role of former President Trump been part of your investigation?” Pelley asked. (Tweet/Video) “It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th,” replied Sherwin, making a spurious argument.So does that mean that Trump is “criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Pelley asked.
One year ago today, an article of mine at American Thinker became a flashpoint of mainstream media coverage and criticism. Before one week had passed, my article was referenced, including with links to it and me in four major articles at the Washington Post, two in the New York Times... Politico, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, New York Magazine, and others.

Biden felt three times as he scaled the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews.
Biden tried jogging up the stairs to board Air Force One en route to Atlanta and fell hard on his knee.
When he arrived in Atlanta, he visited the Atlanta headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to thank public health workers amid the coronavirus pandemic and claimed that “science is back”, though he did not state where or how the science went missing.
Biden wrapped up his pep talk to the agency with a lengthy anecdote about meeting with then-VP Xi Jinping.
A McKinney man accused of storming the U.S. Capitol was given away by his mobile phone, which placed him at the scene, giving agents clues they needed to identify and arrest him, federal court records show.
Kevin Sam Blakely, 55, was captured in video footage standing inside and outside of the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 uprising and riot, according to an FBI complaint.

Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday the Biden administration would release video “footage” of the conditions of the inside of migrant detention facilities to assuage concerns amid its continued refusal to allow members of the press inside.
“Let’s not forget that we’re in the midst of a pandemic and we are focused on our operations, executing our operations in a crowded border patrol facility where hundreds of vulnerable migrant children are located,” Mayorkas said.
If President Biden makes good on a recent White House promise that he'll field questions from a roomful of reporters for the first time this coming Thursday, he will be doing so on his 65th day since taking office.
Saturday marked the 60th consecutive day the nation’s 46th president did not do a news conference with the White House press corps.
That stretch has been marked by several near-misses of interactions with the media:
On March 3, for example, Biden appeared ready to handle some questions from reporters during a virtual news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but the video feed of the event suddenly cut off.
A 68-year-old man punched in the face by a stranger on a Tribeca subway train, leaving him in critical condition, was the latest victim of anti-Asian hate, a good Samaritan who helped the victim told the Daily News.
The victim was minding his business riding an uptown No. 1 train when the unhinged assailant, sporting a fedora, black leather jacket, pink hoodie and an elaborate gold necklace, boarded the train about 2:40 p.m. Friday, sources said.(Snip) Without warning, the 6-foot-2 attacker walloped the victim in the face leaving him covered in blood that dripped down his jacket.

This story is so buried that this Forbes article and one from a local Philadelphia radio station (full of sjw qualifiers) were the only ones I could find. One I saw at Yahoo earlier disappeared.
