[World Net Daily] National outrage is erupting in the wake of Monday's murder-suicide committed by a crazed transgender dad who identified as woman, the latest high-profile case of gun violence perpetrated by someone swapping genders.
Robert Dorgan, who identified as "Roberta Esposito" and "Roberta Dorgano" shot and killed his two family members and injured three others before turning the gun on himself at a high-school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
The bloodshed occurred less than a week after 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaarm who identified as a woman, shot and killed six people at a school in British Columbia, Canada, critically injuring two, and wounding about 25 others.
[Federalist] Details of Dorgan’s trans identity have been deemed unpublishable by corporate media outlets which refuse to call him a man.
The man who left his family to live as a woman and threatened to "Go BERSERK" in defense of transgender ideology shot and killed his son and the boy’s mother at a Rhode Island hockey game on Monday, but the corporate media really don’t want you to know he was a fanatical adherent of one of their pet ideologies.
Robert Dorgan underwent surgery to mimic female body parts in 2020 and went by the name "Roberta Esposito," according to the New York Post. Hours before the shooting, he posted "Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," in response to a post that accurately described a cross-dressing congressman as male. According to local outlet WPRI, Dorgan’s "gender identity played a role in multiple family disputes over recent years," including his divorce, but that fact has been deemed unpublishable by corporate media outlets, which gloss over the killings as a "family dispute."

Not able to piece together the cause-and-effect elements are we? Abortion, euthanasia, and now this. The late Doctor Josef Mengele must be very proud of our modern-day medical community and it's accomplishments.

Hockey parents have been prone to confrontations for generations. Trans some of them and this is the result.

People with already ongoing mental health issues on meds that can cause them to be violent and/or suicidal as a side effect and the person in a stressful and confrontational situation. Who could have seen this coming?
[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons] When a nation is on a path to losing its identity, traditions, morality, and freedoms, it needs to turn around.
Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA organization, which he founded in 2012 when he was 18 years old, states its objectives are to "identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government" and to build the "most organized, active, and powerful conservative grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses across the country" (https://tpusa.com).
Charlie developed a bold strategy to counter the dominant left-wing perspective in colleges. He challenged his political opponents to "prove him wrong" during open debates on academic campuses. During such an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, a bullet brutally interrupted the dialogue.
This shocking assassination highlights the deep divisions in our society, and the hatred and lust for violence displayed by large numbers of Americans, most appallingly by educators.
Some of them are paying a price for their comments. Democrats have suddenly become the party of free speech, proposing the NOPE (No Political Enemies) Act, which would make it easier for citizens to sue government and recover attorney fees if federal officials abused their power to silence critics—too late for the pandemic. How ironic coming from the party of microaggression, deplatforming, social media censorship, hate speech, and cancel culture, writes Jeff Childers (tinyurl.com/5fswp2mf).
Charlie was not merely a political activist. He was an evangelist for Christ. After his death, many reconsidered their rejection of Christianity, bought a Bible, or went to church. Such personal turning points have occurred before. For many who took his challenge to "Prove Me Wrong," years of leftist, anti-Christian, anti-American indoctrination have been nullified. Instead of proving him wrong, some interlocutors saw the light of righteousness.
As usual after a shooting, leftist pundits looked for a "right-wing extremist" inspired by "hateful right-wing rhetoric" that should be immediately censored.
Prosecutors appear to be preparing to argue that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, killed Charlie because he disagreed with Kirk’s "anti-trans rhetoric." Robinson lives with a male roommate, who was said to be "transitioning." Bizarre engravings on Robinson’s bullets might be "anti-fascist" or pro-LGBTQ—or an in-group joke by online video gamers (https://tinyurl.com/ywa565m7).
[ModernDiplomacy] How China’s Ninth Bureau Counters Mossad Operations in Mideast: The Ninth Bureau (Bureau 9) of the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) is a high-level intelligence agency focused on counter-espionage.
The Ninth Bureau (Bureau 9) of the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) is a high-level intelligence agency focused on counter-espionage. Its role has grown in the Middle East, particularly in Iran and Egypt, to protect China’s economic and strategic interests. The Chinese Bureau of State Security primarily counters Mossad operations by strengthening security coordination with Cairo and Tehran to secure China’s Belt and Road Initiative projects and deploy Chinese defense technology within Egypt and Iran. This aims to reduce the effectiveness of Israeli infiltration of Chinese interests in both countries.
The Ninth Bureau (Bureau 9) of the Chinese Ministry of State Security, which functions as the Chinese intelligence agency known as the “MSS,” is considered one of the most sensitive units within the Chinese Ministry of State Security. Its primary function is to monitor American intelligence and military activities, especially those targeting China and its allies and partners worldwide, particularly in areas of sensitive Chinese influence in the Middle East, such as Egypt and Iran, and to protect Chinese interests in Tel Aviv. Its primary role is to combat foreign espionage and monitor foreign intelligence activities targeting Chinese interests or its strategic partners. Here, the Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security acts as a technical intelligence shield aimed at fortifying the Egyptian-Chinese partnership against Israeli espionage or sabotage attempts through the Israeli Mossad, with a particular focus on technical and cyber aspects.
The Chinese Ninth Bureau also works to curb Israeli Mossad operations inside Iran by providing close Chinese monitoring of Mossad infiltration into Iran, especially after the Israeli operations against Tehran and its sensitive facilities in 2005. Here, the Chinese Ninth Bureau seeks to support Iranian agencies by exchanging intelligence information and providing advanced technologies to protect defense and nuclear facilities and to prevent the collapse of their security systems that threaten Chinese interests. Following a similar Chinese strategy to counter Israeli intelligence espionage against Chinese interests in Tel Aviv, the Chinese Ninth Bureau works to protect China’s technological and smart investments in Israel, such as the ports of Haifa and Tel Aviv, from Israeli or American counterintelligence penetrations, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive Chinese technology.
In this context, the Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security seeks to enhance China’s strategic security in Egypt. The bureau focuses on protecting maritime routes, the Suez Canal, and Chinese logistics projects in Cairo, such as the Suez Canal Economic Zone and TEDA’s projects, primarily by strengthening counter-espionage efforts against Israel in North African countries. Here, the Ninth Bureau specifically targets securing vital Chinese infrastructure through counterintelligence operations to limit any competing Israeli, American, or Western influence that could harm China’s growing influence in the region. This is the same point raised by the Israeli newspaper “Israel Hayom” in a report published in 2025, citing Israeli security sources who expressed concern about joint meetings between high-ranking Egyptian and Chinese officials. These meetings reportedly addressed advanced Chinese arms deals for Egypt, including warships and advanced Chinese air defense systems. The Israeli newspaper, quoting Israeli military and security officials, expressed apprehension that the Egyptian army might diversify its arms sources, particularly from Beijing, as part of a new Egyptian military policy aimed at reducing its dependence on the United States, the traditional arms supplier to the Egyptian army. This reliance stems from US restrictions on certain military exports to Egypt, imposed to ensure Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region. Israeli intelligence, as expressed in publicly published reports in Tel Aviv, fears that Egyptian-Chinese talks and deals are not limited to the arms sector alone but also encompass other areas that deeply threaten Israeli national security. These include joint Egyptian-Chinese military training, most notably the “Eagles of Civilization” joint Egyptian-Chinese exercises and maneuvers from April to May 2025, technological cooperation in electronic warfare and surveillance systems, and the transfer of advanced Chinese military technology to Egypt. Consequently, the Chinese Ninth Bureau is monitoring and countering Israeli Mossad operations in Cairo by strengthening security coordination with Egypt to secure Chinese “Belt and Road” projects in Egypt and providing a defense technology system to prevent Mossad intelligence penetrations in Cairo.
The Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security plays a significant role in monitoring Israeli Mossad activities against Egypt. This role is highlighted in the following points, according to intelligence and analytical data for 2025 and 2026, through Tracking Israeli Intelligence Infiltration of Egypt: The Ninth Bureau monitors Mossad attempts to infiltrate personnel or institutions cooperating with China in Egypt, especially given the recent increase in military and intelligence cooperation between Cairo and Beijing. The Chinese Ninth Bureau also works on countering technical and cyber espionage of Chinese activities within Egyptian and Iranian territories: The Ninth Bureau contributes to providing the Egyptian side with closed Chinese technologies and systems that are “impenetrable” to Israeli or Western software. This is an approach that China has also begun implementing in other countries, such as Iran, to neutralize Mossad’s technical capabilities. The Ninth Bureau of Intelligence in China is currently focused on protecting Chinese military technology in Egypt, particularly given Egypt’s acquisition of advanced Chinese air defense systems, such as the HQ-9B and J-10C fighter jets.
The Ninth Bureau is tasked with preventing Mossad from accessing the technical details of these weapons or attempting to disable them electronically. This explains Israel’s growing concern regarding this intelligence cooperation between China and Egypt.
The Chinese Ninth Bureau is also working on intelligence sharing with Egypt. Reports indicate a significant shift in the level of coordination between the Chinese Ministry of State Security and the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate in 2025-2026. Information is being exchanged regarding agent movements and suspicious activities that may aim to destabilize the region or harm shared interests. Here, the Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security is actively monitoring what is known as “gray warfare” or “gray security” and the private intelligence companies that Mossad might use as cover for its activities in Africa and Egypt.
In this context, the Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security is conducting extensive operations to counter Mossad’s regional operations and infiltrations in Egypt and Iran. The Ninth Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) is waging a silent and comprehensive intelligence war to undermine Mossad operations, particularly in Iran, considering Israeli infiltration a threat to its strategic interests.
Is China indeed? One sees the effects everywhere, of course, for instance in Mossad’s poor execution in the Twelve Day War. Still, all the gaijin do look alike, so perhaps they can’t be blamed.
The Ninth Bureau is working to uncover spy networks and thwart operations launched from neighboring Asian countries against Tehran, all within the framework of protecting Beijing’s regional partnerships. The Chinese Ninth Bureau’s role is focused on countering Mossad within the Middle East, specifically to protect China’s strategic partners, such as Egypt and Iran. Here, the Chinese move, through its Ninth Bureau, aims to support Iran in confronting the deep Israeli penetrations revealed by the 2025 operations. These operations followed Israel’s strikes and targeting of Iranian infrastructure and nuclear reactors due to the increasing Israeli penetration of Tehran. The Ninth Bureau, affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of State Security, monitors and analyzes the activities of the Israeli Mossad and dismantles Israeli spy networks that use neighboring countries as platforms to carry out operations inside Iran.
The analysis continues in this vein for some paragraphs more.

Possibly the good professor is being paid by the word, though it’s definitely useful to know that China, which once wanted to buy the Haifa port, now is teaming up with Israel’s enemies Iran and Egypt — the latter of which takes the concept of cold peace to a whole new level…
Turkey already has military footholds in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
If the Palestinians in Jordan overthrow the Hashemites with Turkish help,
Is that likely? I have no idea, so need some guidance on the question.
the new regime could ally with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, becoming nuclear-armed.
Combined with Saudi wealth and Pakistani nuclear weapons,
…assuming the Pakistani things are actually functional. Inshallah mindset doesn’t lead to the kind of persnickety quarterly maintenance such things are said to require…
this could form a "Sunni mega-axis" right on Israel’s border.
Trump is investing in a cheaper Turkish energy corridor to Europe, bypassing Israel’s role as the preferred conduit.
With Iran out of the way there will be nothing to stop Turkey.
Except Israel, which isn’t silly enough to mistake Erdogan’s Turkey as a friend, or even slightly neutral.

[FoxNews] President Donald Trump criticizes Maryland Gov. Wes Moore regarding a massive Potomac River sewage spill, calling it a 'massive ecological disaster.'
[Ha’aretz] The Trump administration's policies on Israel show an emerging paradigm shift. If in the past, the United States sought to build a regional alliance with Israel at its center, it is now backing a Turkish-Saudi-Pakistani axis that will expand its influence in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, and push Israel to the margins
Maj. Gen. (res.) Itzhak Brik is a former commander of the 36th Division, the Southern Corps (441) and the military colleges. He also served as the ombudsman for soldiers' complaints.
U.S. President Donald Trump's moves are weakening Israel and causing it to become increasingly isolated in the Middle East. For the State of Israel, this poses an existential danger both in terms of security and the economy. The rest of the article is paywalled but the comments are a good set of reactions from paying subscribers who read the whole thing.
Last I looked Ha’aretz had about a 5% share of the newspaper market in Israel, and that in a market where most of the population reads multiple news sites daily. I’m sure the comments are frothing at the mouth, loathing both the “fascist” center-right Netanyahu government and the “fascist” center-right Trump government equally, and convinced they are going to bring the whole Zionist project down around their ears.
