UPDATED: Kirk killer looks normal, for a loonie leftist

"We've got him!", said President Trump first thing this morning. And here he is --Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah. That's all we know about him... so far.

This is what we know about what led up to his arrest, at 2200 MDT yesterday, for the brutal public assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Federal investigators and state officials released a series of photos and a video of the person they believe is responsible. They also released new and enhanced photos of a person in a hat, sunglasses, a long-sleeve black shirt and a backpack. 

A Mauser .30-06, bolt-action rifle was found in a towel in the woods. A spent cartridge was recovered from the chamber, and three other rounds were loaded in the magazine, according to information circulated among law enforcement and described to The Associated Press. 

Unlike the Wall Street Journal (see yesterday's post on WWW) AP, a charter member of the lickspittle media pack, said nothing about any strange markings on the bullets, only that the weapon and ammunition were being analyzed at a federal lab. 

Without even hinting that Charlie Kirk is the latest victim of the culture wars, AP says his assassination "offers the latest example of how ordinary security measures can be defeated in an era of escalating political violence, when anyone associated with the political process is a potential target. Security experts interviewed by AP questioned whether the event was sufficiently staffed but also acknowledged the limitations of both campus police forces and outdoor venues."

Are we going to be told any more about the alleged assassination, such as his political and/or sexual preferences? Depends on whether or not that information fits the liberal woke orthodoxy. Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath.

UPDATE added @ 1310 FMT: Surprise, surprise! We're actually hearing more about what was going on inside Mr Robinson's alleged mind. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) revealed today that bullet casings in the rifle allegedly used by Tyler Robinson to assassinate Charlie Kirk were etched with a variety of messages. He said that investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casing found with the rifle. 

Insriptions on a fired casing read: "Notice bulges OwO What’s this?" Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read: "Hey fascist! Catch!” [and then] Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, "O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao," and a third unfired casing read, "If you read this, you are gay, LMAO."

The arrow symbols may have been a video game reference. The phrase “bella ciao” is reportedly associated with left-wing songs, loosely linked to 20th century Italian opponents of fascism. The "Notices bulges" message, according to Know Your Meme, is a reference to gay sexuality associated with the "furry" phenomenon, which refers to attraction to cartoon animals. 

Walt sez: Aha! There's the queer element, right there! Stay tuned for more....

VIDEO: "Trump doesn't represent us!", whine two weird wimmin

Our friends at Blazing Cat Fur sent us the link to this gem, which originally appeared on "X". Apparently President Trump's declaration that there are only two genders -- male and female -- has hit these ladies women queers wimmin whatever pretty hard. Let's all join them in a good whine.

OK, you can stop laughing, and start again as you view this very appropriate meme.

Is it possible that we are seeing the beginning of the end of wokeism? Hope so!!!

When you lie down with dogs...

Seen today on the Patriot Post site. I'm guessing that these people are the same as those who, with their liberal, progressive, etc friends, support the notion of peaceful coexistence -- Arabs and Israelis, Muslims and Jews, all getting along together within the confines of one state. Whatever happened to that notion?

On that point, and just to be clear [since you weren't, in your first post on the latest round of the perpetual Mid-East battle. Ed.] I think the two-state solution would be fine, but it's been tried and never had a chance of working -- a noble experiment.

Ukrainian trannies ordered to stay and fight as men

You can call yourself "transgender" if you want, and dress up like a drag queen if you want, but if you've got a cubic pubic between your legs, you're still a man... as far as the Ukrainian government is concerned. 

In what has become a controversial move by Ukrainian authorities, transgender "women" are being denied from leaving the country because their passport indicates they are not women, but men!

Radio Gold reports that Ukrainian female wannabes say they are "totally stuck" and "scared for their lives" in the country because their passport states that they are "men". 

As they clutched their feather boas, two Ukrainian trans women said they can't join the "women and children first" fleeing the Russian invasion, because all of their ID documents say "male". And... horror of horrors... their papers mention their "old masculine names", and use those pesky old masculine pronounes!

Some "gay rights" groups have started advising trans "women" to lose their ID, in order to get out of Ukraine. LGBTQ2SXYZetc activists estimate this issue is leading to "hundreds" of trans people in Ukraine being left in "serious danger" and feeling "completely alone."

One trans woman said she is "terrified" of being stopped trying to leave Ukraine and having to submit to short arms inspection, which would reveal that xi [Is that the right pronoun? Ed.] which would reveal xer manlihood, after which xi would be forced to join the Ukrainian army.

Another Ukrainian trannie is the only person left in her neighbourhood, xi says through xer tears, because xi's scared to leave her accommodation for fear of transphobic attacks. 

The real gender divide cuts both ways. One trans "man", who transitioned over six years ago and has lived as a man in Ukraine since, only has an ID which labels xim "female". He told VICE World News [That's its name? Seriously? Ed.] about xis fears of leaving his house and trying to make it across Ukraine. During a phone call, screaming and explosions were heard coming from outside xis accommodation, but xe still refused to leave because of his ID issue. 

Walt sez... Ya big girl's blouse! If you had `em cut off, grow a new set, and stand and fight for your country!

Thanks and a tip o' the шапка to Agent 5, a 100% Ukrainian MAN!

LGBT... what next?

For half a century we've wrestled with what to call people who are, errr, non-white. That adjective encompasses a range of hues, from "tanned" through yellow and red to brown and finally black. So we called black folks "black", and that was a problem because of "shadeism" which placed octaroons above quadroons above mulattos and so on. (In fact you don't hear any of those words any more.)

Besides, there was something pejorative about "black", or "dark-complected", not to mention "darkie" (as in toothpaste) or the N-word. So some genius came up with "African-American", which for most black Americans was as ridiculous as calling us white folks "European-Americans". And so we went back to "persons of colour", which sounds a lot like "coloured" to me. I don't know which term is politically correct now, and I don't care.

The same nomenclatural problem exists with people we used to call "queers". Not so long ago, that was pejorative term, right up there with "fairies", "faggots" and other quaint expressions we used -- yes, I admit it -- to describe homosexuals. But then the homos embraced the Q-word, as in "We're here! We're queer! Get used to it!" And so Q was added to LGBT, as in "the LGBTQ community", referring to the alleged 10% of us who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and/or otherwise queer.

But apparently five terms isn't enough for the proponents of aggressive gender ideology. The concept of "gender fluidity" -- today I'm a guy but tomorrow I might feel like a girl, or vice versa -- led to the addition of "2S", which stands for "two-spirited". It's not your physical gender, you see, but how you feel about it! Don't be surprised if Barack Hussein Obama stretches his pro-LGBT bathroom laws to include those who feel like "the other sex"... at the moment.

Would LGBTQ2S be the end of it? As recently as this January, I thought so, but I was wrong. (Lifetime pct .984.) Now the PC police have told us we can drop the "Q2S" -- perhaps because "queer" is still a loaded word and "2S" is just stupid -- but add an "I", which stands for "intersex". Seriously...

"Intersex" is how the Australian Department of Health refers to people whose sexual characteristics don't fit neatly into the "male" or "female" categories. Wikipedia tells us such people "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies. Such variations may involve genital ambiguity, and combinations of chromosomal genotype and sexual phenotype other than XY-male and XX-female. Intersex people were previously referred to as hermaphrodites, but the term has fallen out of favor as it is considered to be misleading and stigmatizing. Since 2006, intersex traits have controversially [sic] been described by medicine as disorders of sex development."

So there you have it, folks. "LGBTI" is the latest politically correct term for people we used to call "queers". Remember that as your city/state/province/country/whatever celebrates Gay Pride Day/Week/Month/Year/Whatever.
