Difficulty making friends so he got used to operating alone. Hyper-sensitive. An all-too-frequent profile in these cases. No, it’s not the gun.

Being a farm kid and loving it among other things made it hard for me to fit in too. As a matter of fact, I didn't fit in too well. That is no excuse, good or bad, for destroying other people's lives. Sometimes "fitting in" brings other problems to the ones that do. Just stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy not being just another sheep. The good people will find you more interesting, and the others don't matter. Everybody just needs to grow the heck up!

It is possible for there to be an explanation of a person’s mindset without it is being an excuse. There is no excuse for what he did, but this explanation tells us about him - that essay was written 7 years ago when he was 18. He was feeling down about himself then. The knowledge that he was to be fired apparently took him over the edge. None of this is an “excuse”. We tend to confuse things when we mischaracterize the explanation of a person’s personality with an “excuse”. They are not the same.

There is no excuse for what he did. I too am curious if drugs or alcohol played a part. Was the person known to be violent? Were they known to be mentally ill? Another ticking timebomb that was an 'accident waiting to happen'?

Nobody WANTS to be ordinary, when in fact the great majority of us are. Then there is this generation, who firmly believes they deserve to be superstars, no matter the reason. They have a shelf full of childhood trophies in the basement that tells them how special they are. Growing up is hard.

Boo-f*ing-hoo! Is this how people deal with setbacks these days? Is this what we should expect from this generation of coddled incompetents? I’ve lost jobs, I’ve been overlooked for promotions, I’ve had to do with less to keep moving. But I did keep moving, upwards. I didn’t throw in the towel and take everyone else with me. This next generation worries me.

A group of leftist students at the University of Chicago are demanding their university pay over $1 billion in reparations to Chicago’s South Side residents for displacing black people living in the area. There’s just one problem: The university, which has been located in Chicago’s Hyde Park since 1890, is not what’s displacing the residents.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News that it is time to “embed some military” on the U.S. border with Mexico to fight the Mexican drug cartels. McCarthy’s comments came during an exclusive long-form video interview taped last month in the ceremonial U.S. House Speaker’s office just off the House floor. The interview, the latest installment in the Breitbart News On the Hill video series, touched on many topics including immigration and the border, but also confronting the Chinese Communist Party, the debt ceiling, and McCarthy’s decision to release January 6 surveillance tapes earlier this year.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s urgent request to enter a restraining order against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was rejected on April 11, the same day it was filed. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump appointee, turned down Bragg’s emergency request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Jordan. “The Court declines to enter the proposed Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause,” Vyskocil said, noting that she had not yet received several documents that were referenced in Bragg’s filings. She ordered Jordan and other defendants in the case to respond to the lawsuit and scheduled a hearing for April 19.

Messenger RNA or mRNA technology in vaccines is increasingly a cause for concern in the aftermath of the COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) vaccination protocol. Recently the concern has escalated as Big Rx and Big Ag have begun lobbying against any labeling requirement for animal products which contain mRNA as part of the vaccine protocol.

The Biden administration has proposed a federal mandate to reduce the supply of water to 40 million Americans who live in western states dependent on the Colorado River Basin to address long-term severe drought and low run-off conditions. The actions were part of a draft report by the Department of the Interior’s (DOI’s) Bureau of Reclamation. The draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement proposes to revise the current guidelines for the near-term operation of Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams.

Biden unveils toughest-ever car emissions

The Biden administration unveiled the most aggressive tailpipe emissions ever crafted as part of its sweeping climate agenda and efforts to push Americans to buy electric vehicles (EV). The vehicle pollution standards, proposed Wednesday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and announced by the White House, will impact car model years 2027 through 2032. The White House said the regulations would "protect public health" by achieving carbon emission reductions of nearly 10 billion tons by 2055 and would save consumers an average of $12,000 over the lifetime of vehicles. "Cars and truck manufacturers have made clear that the future of transportation is electric," the White House stated in a fact sheet.

History may someday record today as the beginning of the end of the internal combustion engine – and of individual liberty in the U.S. According to news reports, the EPA is scheduled to release proposed auto emissions standards today on new car sales so stringent that the only way for automakers to meet them would be to shift two-thirds of their fleet to electric. But wait. How can a regulatory agency do that? Consumers aren’t demanding electric cars. Lawmakers didn’t vote to force them on the public. The Environmental Protection Agency knows better, though, and, unless it’s neutered, plans to force EVs on you – for your own good.

The campaign. Not Nikki Haley. That’s the message. For the campaign to claim that Nikki stays above the fray, the campaign sent out a memo full of snark and vinegar. Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney wrote the memo. Mostly she ripped into Trump’s “drama” but she made sure to include her opinion on Governor DeSantis, too. She did not, however, mention Governor Asa Hutchinson or Vivek Ramaswamy by name who have officially entered the GOP primary race. Governor DeSantis has not officially entered the race but that isn’t stopping the others from jumping ugly on him. Everyone expects him to take the leap when the Florida Legislature completes its session.

Joe Biden played up his English roots today as he tried to counter claims he is 'anti-British' during a visit to Belfast.

In a rambling anecdote, he described how a former US ambassador to the UK had discovered that one of his ancestors wrote the rules of mutiny for the British navy in the 1800s.

Americans are fleeing blue states, and especially blue cities, in historic numbers. Can things possibly get worse? They can, indeed they can. Take San Francisco. Things are so bad there that Whole Foods, an iconic liberal company, has shut its flagship store in that city after just one year of operation, due to rampant crime and drug use that, the company said, made it impossible to assure the safety of its employees. But when it comes to commercial real estate, San Francisco, while very bad, is not the bottom of the barrel. John Phelan reports on a series of corporate departures from Minneapolis and St. Paul.
