While he was in jail, Tate was also indicted by Romanian authorities for sex trafficking: google.com/goto?url=CAESrgEB…
I have been in jail for 93 days. As of today, the USA has held me in jail longer than Romania did. Romania charged me with crimes after their largest and most expensive investigation in history and held me in jail for less time than the USA did for a 15-year-old British Metoo. Clown world.

NYT reporting the Bend shooter used a Mossberg Maverick 88 pump action shotgun. That's the same weapon used in the 2025 Idaho ambush attack on firefighters AND the WHCD shooting this year.

OREGON: We met the man who stopped the Silver Rail Elementary shooter in Bend. He is a dad of two students at the school. His family tells me he was driving home on his break for lunch when his vehicle was shot. They say he’s struggling with what happened and traumatized by the fact he couldn’t save more people. He’s grateful for those he did save, but wishes he could have done more.

Pretty sure these posts are defamatory, if these things are not true …
My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign. If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work. I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health.

A man with a cross tattooed on his arm wants to publicly execute a man and livestream it. I must have missed that part of the Bible.
