[NATIONALREVIEW] The man who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman, according to newly revealed court documents.
In a recent court filing, Nicholas Roske's defense attorneys call their client ''Sophie'' and explain in a footnote that they will use female pronouns to refer to him ''out of respect.''
''The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,'' lawyers for Roske state in the filing, obtained by the Daily Wire. ''That name remains Ms. Roske's legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske, the balance of this pleading and counsel's in-court argument will refer to her as Sophie and use female pronouns.''
[DAILYCALLER] More than 7,000 people gathered at Colorado State University's (CSU) stadium on Thursday for what should have been a speech by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — instead, it was a massive vigil for the conservative leader assassinated just one week earlier.
The event at CSU would have been the second stop of Kirk's American Comeback Tour but was forced instead to be a memorial following Kirk's death at Utah Valley University's campus on Sept. 10 — the first leg of the tour. (RELATED: Student's Charlie Kirk Tribute Trashed By Peer — But He's The One Suspended)
A counter event hosted by Political Review, which describes itself as ''The official Counter Organization to Turning Point USA,'' was originally scheduled to take place at the same time as Kirk's speech. Following his liquidation, the group decided to move the event to start after the vigil ended, saying they did not want to counter the vigil or Turning Point.
''What we are trying to do is continue the legacy of debate that Charlie endorsed,'' Political Review's CSU student chapter co-president Patrick McCabe told the Coloradoan. ''We want to make sure people don't shy away from politics.''
In 2024, former Vice President Kamala Harris once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia DA won Colorado by a significant margin, earning 54.1% of the vote compared to President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons... 's 43.1%.
Dozens of reports have come out in the last week revealing members of academia — including students, educators and administrators — have taken to celebrating Kirk's liquidation. Several have since been suspended, fired or expelled for comments made in public and on social media.
Some have even faced punishment not for deriding Kirk, but for honoring him.

The Campus is already placing paver stones over the shooting location, and a video shows a trap door open next to his seating area. Where they're laying the paver stones.
But what is real or created nowadays, given A.I. ?
[ASHLANDSOURCE] Ashland County Fair officials booted the Ashland County Democratic Party booth on Thursday following the political party's sale of ''offensive buttons'' directed toward President Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... .
The Ashland County Fair posted on Facebook around 8 p.m. on Thursday that it had been ''made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth.''
''We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant. We apologize for those who saw the display. The democrat (sic) party has been asked to pack their booth up for this year so they not be here (for the remainder) of our fair week. This is not political, we just can't have this at our county fair,'' reads the post.
As of 11:45 p.m. the post had been shared 478 times with 967 comments on the Ashland County Fair's Facebook page.
Heather Sample, chair of the Ashland County Democratic Party, declined to comment Thursday evening because she is waiting to speak with a lawyer.
The Ashland Fair Board did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday night.
A Facebook user took a photo of the buttons. They depict a red hat with words such as ''Fascist'' and ''Resist.'' Smaller text reads ''Is he dead yet?'' and ''One day, we will wake up to his obituary.''
Some of them also contained ''8647,'' a political code interpreted by some as a call to violence against President Trump.
Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider said he would contact the U.S. Secret Service on Friday to follow up, according to Fox 8 in Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... .
''Violence shouldn't be tolerated in any way, in any venue in any jurisdiction in the United States and it certainly won't be tolerated here in Ashland County,'' he told Fox 8.

They likely expected to get noticed and tossed. They will now rake in ten times the amount of cash and not have to smell animal excrement. The only cost will be cutting their voter turnout by half.

Turnout is critical. Fraud only gets you across the line if it’s close.

Pics of the buttons in question are available here:

[THEMIDWESTERNER.NEWS] Michigan state Rep. Mai Xiong regularly lectures her online critics about how mean words and loaded language lead to ''political violence against public officials.''
The Warren Democrat also likes to create videos about how she works to ''slay Republicans,'' she describes as ''MAGA bad boys'' and ''monsters,'' while relentlessly promoting herself on X and TikTok.
''I respect and know that being an elected official means hearing many different kinds of opinions. I expect criticism — but this kind of hateful rhetoric is not debate,'' Xiong recently posted to X in response to online attacks. ''It's is [sic] harmful, dangerous, and not only fuels political violence, it's verbal abuse. This behavior must stop.''
The post followed just three days after the liquidation of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and roughly a week after Xiong herself posted a video to TikTok in which she chopped off a chicken's head while discussing how to ''slay Republicans.''
''Being a nyab, I'm always ready for any battle against Republicans,'' the Hmong politician said in the video as she chopped lemongrass with a massive machete, likening her work in Lansing to making ''Ancient Hmong Chicken Soup.''
''What's a nyab you say? It's being a good, loyal daughter in law and wife that Republicans pretend to want but have no respect for, a woman who knows how to cook, clean, and take care of herself and her babies all at the same time, always looking flawless because you never know who's going to knock on the door or show up unannounced like that annoying uncle who can't stop talking about Trump,'' she ranted as she stirred boiling chicken parts in a pot.
''I'm making Hmong chicken soup. I have to sharpen my sword first,'' she continued with a dead chicken on a cutting board, neck stretched out in preparation for a beheading.
The video cuts out as she does the deed, then returns with Xiong laughing as she chops the dead bird into bits.
''After a week of debating them on the floor, I'm so relieved to finally be able to take my stress out on the chopping block,'' she said. ''I pull out the insides and toss it in the trash like listening to the garbage they spew is the most disgusting thing ever. I use free range chicks. They're never cooped up, despite Republicans always wanting to cage them.
''They're independent with that extra lean flavor and smell Republicans can't stand to swallow,'' Xiong narrated. ''Now I'm ready to submerge their tiny little egos in boiling hot water. I let it cook for about 30 minutes, longer than they can stand being in the same room or elevator as me.
''This simple ancient recipe, unlike their unstable complex personality, only calls for three things: just lemongrass, salt, and a dash of pepper,'' she said. ''Oh my God, so mouthwatering.''

She is damn lucky her "enemies" are fairly sane.
She couldn't fight her way out a wet paper bag and an annoyed 11yo could end her life pretty quick.
[NYPOST] Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a run for president in 2028, according to a report Friday.
The socialist ''Squad'' member is gearing up to seek higher office as she's attempted to grow her presence across the country and the Empire State, people familiar with her operation told Axios in a Friday report.
Ocasio-Cortez and her team are deciding on whether to run for the Senate or the White House, sources told the outlet.
The New York lefty has joined Sen. Bernie Sanders — a former presidential candidate — on his national ''Fighting Oligarchy'' tour while she's also held town halls across upstate New York this summer.
Ocasio-Cortez, who reps parts of Queens and the Bronx, has also doled out millions this year on growing her social media presence and obtaining a list of possible supporters and donors to raise her grassroots fundraising ceiling, Axios reported.

We will get called a bunch of slurs when she loses. There will be at least one occasion where she fake cries. She will double her personnel wealth. Her boyfriend will make bank on a bunch of side scams.
Those are my predictions.

What makes AOC somewhat dangerous, aside from her towering intellect, is that she has mastered the language of emotion, which resonates with her base. AOC weeps next to an empty cage: We see that as really stupid, but the message to her base is "Sandy is sad!" She pitches a fit in Congress: We see that as childish but the message to her base is "Sandy is mad!" We'll see how far that gets her.

[APNEWS] The Trump administration escalated its fight with Harvard University on Friday, placing the Ivy League school under extra financial oversight and threatening sanctions if it does not provide additional data on its admissions practices.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon ...business executive, and former professional wrestling performer. She was the 25th administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019. McMahon has been nominated to lead the Department of Education under the second Trump administration. McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports, Inc. (later World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) where she worked as the president and later CEO from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation. She made occasional on-screen performances, most notably in a feud with her husband that culminated at WrestleMania X-Seven. In 2009, she left World Wrestling Entertainment to run for a seat in the United States Senate from Connecticut as a Republican, but lost to Richard Blumenthal in the 2010 general election. She was the Republican nominee for Connecticut's other Senate seat in the 2012 race, but lost to Chris Murphy because that's the kind of guy people in Connecticutt like best. ... said the department was placing Harvard under ''heightened cash monitoring,'' forcing the school to use its own money to pay out financial aid for students and then seek reimbursement from the government.
She also threatened ''further enforcement action'' if the school does not turn over records to prove it no longer is considering race in admissions.
Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.
The moves are part of the administration's crackdown on Harvard as President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... seeks to eradicate what he describes as liberal bias at colleges around the country. Since taking office, Trump has used the Education Department in unprecedented ways, cutting federal research grants for schools that do not accede to his administration's demands and pressing colleges into paying large cash settlements to end federal investigations.
[CBSNEWS] Members of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... 's law enforcement community are taking offense with a comment made by Mayor Brandon Johnson ...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodling Commissioners from 2018 to 2023... , after he said this week, in part, "jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness."
The comment sparked outrage online and in the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke said she was deeply offended by the statement.
Some argued that Johnson's words were taken out of context. "It's different in English"
During a presser on Tuesday, Johnson was responding to a question about how to make Chicagoans feel safe in their communities:
"The fact of the matter is, we are driving violence down in this city, and we're using every single resource that's available to us. Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities" Johnson said.
The "law enforcement is a sickness" comment drew outrage in some conservative and pro-police circles on social media — even prompting O'Neill Burke to voice her own outrage during an interview on a different topic.
"The statement was disappointing and disheartening. We are part of law enforcement. The State's Attorney's office is the prosecution arm, and that is clearly law enforcement," she said. "I have 1,300 people who work in this office, who are dedicated public servants, who get up every single day to make sure that they keep women safe from domestic violence, to make sure that we are doing our jobs in protecting children from being sex trafficked, to make sure that we are prosecuting murder cases. What we do every day does not call for our eradication."

Electing this one, on top of L. Lightfoot.
Speaks volumes about the general make-up of Chicago Voters themselves.
I wonder if some company HR managers are using creative ways to avoid the hiring of people from certain Liberal Radicalized cities? 🤔

Most likely: The Machine and Gangs work together to control the vote. A protection racket all the way down.
Unfortunately, an effective strategy. It is telling when the countries with large USA Tourist Resorts try to leverage with, "Shame if your resorts get a little dangerous with the kidnappings."
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] Given the national anguish and pain over the liquidation of Charlie Kirk, you might think that the leftist big media would at least be treading softly right now, especially given the overwhelming evidence that's already been made public about Kirk's alleged assassin. But you would be wrong.
We've already addressed the lies and exaggerations told about Kirk to somehow justify his murder. Now the left is trying to come up with a counter-narrative about his assassin. Kirk wasn't murdered by an unhinged leftist; he was killed by a MAGA adherent. It's a lie on stilts.
Let's start with what we know:
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused assassin, had a deep hatred for Kirk, apparently for his muscular Christian beliefs and his espousal of traditional family values.
We also know that Robinson plotted for a week. Premeditated, cold-blooded.
He inscribed bullets with obscure gamer verbiage and extreme-left shibboleths, like ''Hey, fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... , catch!'' Sound like a right-winger to you?
His parents, while themselves conservative. told the police that their son had adopted far-left beliefs in the past few years. Would they lie about that?
A relative said the following: ''He hates conservatives and Christians,'' the relative said. ''He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached (and) been radicalized.''
There are, in fact, no indications whatsoever that Robinson was, as popular leftist substack writer Heather Cox Richardson (hat tip: Dylan on X) falsely described him: ''a young white man from a Republican, gun-enthusiast family, who appears to have embraced the far right, disliking Kirk for being insufficiently radical.''
Any evidence of this? Of course not. There is zero evidence. But that didn't stop her from getting an immediate 7,000 likes for her post.
Nor did it stop TV host Jimmy Kimmel from repeating the obvious lie to his gullible leftist viewers: ''We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.''
Oh yes, ''the MAGA gang.'' They were behind it all

The liars in media continue to identify themselves. The people who gorge themselves on the lies continue to identify themselves. America has divided itself into two camps again but this time the geography of the split is more local and everyone has a voice in the public square.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
