THIS WILL PROBABLY GET BURIED: Many people have asked what was in the “manifesto” written by the “Covenant School Nashville transgender shooter.” Just the News has it:

“Being white sucks, but being black is so cool. Black people should rule. White people should fall, every white person who lived and died. I hate you all,” Hale wrote, per the New York Post. “I hate the American people. America is not the land of the free, it’s a land full of idiots. It will only get worse in this country, not near enough gods like me. America and its people all destined to soon be destroyed.”

It remains to be seen if legacy media bothers to report this at all…but I’m not holding my breath.

UPDATE (From Ed): Hannibal Lecktor*, call your office:

* That’s how the character’s name was spelled in his first onscreen appearance, played by Brian Cox, in Michael Mann’s chilling Manhunter from 1986.

HMM: Scientists Discover a Simple Method to Reduce Mercury Levels in Tuna. “When tuna is immersed in water containing cysteine, the novel solution removed 25 to 35 percent of the mercury from the fish, according to lab tests.”

I take a cysteine supplement for anti-aging. I wonder if it does anything to mercury in my body?

A MODICUM OF SANITY PREVAILS: Supreme Court Overturns Lower Court’s Block on Venezuelan Deportations. “The Supreme Court ruled on Monday night that the Trump administration could continue to deport Venezuelan migrants based on a wartime powers act for now, overturning a lower court that had put a temporary stop to the deportations. The decision marks a victory for the Trump administration, although the ruling is narrow and focused on the proper venue for the cases, rather than on the administration’s use of a centuries-old law to justify its decision to send planeloads of Venezuelans to El Salvador with little to no due process. The justices did not address the question of whether the Trump administration improperly categorized the Venezuelans as deportable under the Alien Enemies Act, finding the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, D.C. The justices determined that the migrants should have raised challenges in Texas, where they were being held.”

But if they hadn’t brought their challenges in DC, they wouldn’t have gotten Judge Boasberg.
