10 dead, suspect arrested in mass shooting at supermarket
The gunman was identified as Payton Gendron of Conklin, a community about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Buffalo in New York state, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
Payton Gendron, age 11, attending a 2015 Vet School open house at Cornell University It’s been reported the alleged shooter wrote online of his belief in extreme right wing ideas, like white replacement. Who or what could have influenced him so profoundly as an adolescent?
He was 11 years old when Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 Presidential election. Could there be a connection? I’m just asking a question, like Tucker Carlson would do.

Insurrection sympathizer Josh Hawley seems to think he’s a Republican senator from Florida, and not Missouri, the state he represents. Joining the battle being waged by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Hawley wants to cut short Disney’s ownership of Ub Iwerks’ original character design for Mickey Mouse, which is scheduled to expire in a couple of years anyway.
Fifty years ago, Nixon’s Republican dirty-tricksters were planning the Watergate break-in. At that same time, a group of underground cartoonists calling themselves The Air Pirates were fighting Disney in court.
How ironic that a radical Republican wants to strip Disney of its hold on the same imagery that a group of Hippie cartoonists wanted to exploit.

Was Justice Alito’s first draft of an opinion that overrules Roe v. Wade leaked to Politico by someone who knows it is, in fact, the court’s decision? I’m going to guess yes. The Supreme Court’s complete removal of federal protection for abortion rights proves the court is now dominated by a “bunch of partisan hacks,” despite Justice Barrett’s denial.
On top of the revelations about Justice Thomas’ fanatical wife Ginni, Chief Justice Roberts has much bigger problems to deal with than finding out who leaked the opinion. Does he even have any power, now that his vote is no longer needed to serve the conservative agenda?
