Confirmed: Buffalo Killer Wasn't Conservative, Also Despised Fox News, Greg Gutfeld, Ben Shapiro, Rupert Murdoch

By Warner Todd Huston | May 15, 2022

After a self-identified “white supremacist” allegedly shot up a New York grocery store, many news outlets and left-leaning Twitter users went wild trying to pin the crime on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Greg Gutfeld and other people on the right. But now it has been revealed that the suspect openly hated all the conservatives the media wants to blame as a motivation for the crime.

On Saturday, a man police have identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, New York, allegedly committed the murder of ten people and the wounding of three others inside a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York.

...

Authorities did not speculate on the motive for the crime, but leftists in the media and on Twitter immediately blamed conservative TV personalities.

Former Obama press secretary Joe Lockhart, for instance, jumped to his Twitter account to claim that Tucker Carlson and Fox News have “more blood” on their hands.

...

But these leftists who jumped to blame Fox and Carlson did not bother to follow up on the facts in the case. A look at the accused killer’s extensive social media posts shows that he is not in any way conservative. Indeed, his manifesto did not mention Fox or Tucker at all.

In parts of the manifesto, he claimed he was an “authoritarian left-wing[er],” said he hated Christianity and also said he was interested in “green nationalism.”

Others also pointed out that the manifesto — to which Big Tech is now blocking access — had absolutely no ties to conservative thinking or Republican Party policies.

Disgusting and insane that Democrat operatives are already exploiting the murder of 10 by blaming Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

No, Hitler Was Not a Closet Capitalist

By Rainer Zitelmann

11 April 2022

The German Political Scientist Jürgen W. Falter analyzed by far the largest and most comprehensive sample from the two central NSDAP membership card indexes. As Falter demonstrates, the proportion of blue-collar workers in the NSDAP was always far higher than has been assumed by earlier historical researchers. Similar to the party's voters, roughly 40 percent of the NSDAP's members were working class.

Why did the NSDAP call itself the "National Socialist German Workers' Party," and why was it so important to Adolf Hitler to win over the workers? Hitler was a social Darwinist. The decisive concepts in his worldview were "strength" and "courage," on the one hand, and "weakness" and "cowardice" on the other.

In my book Hitler's National Socialism, I have analyzed thousands of statements made by Hitler—from his two books, from speeches, essays and, in particular, what he said to members of his inner circle (e.g., during so-called monologues at the Führer's headquarters, or "table talks"). In all of these statements, Hitler associated the "bourgeoisie" with weakness, cowardice, and decadence in contrast to the working class, whom he associated with strength, power, and courage. Based on Hitler's own words, it is clear he believed that the bourgeoisie as a class was doomed and that the future belonged to the working class.

...

National Socialism must offer workers increased opportunities for advancement and break down traditional class barriers, he repeatedly declared.

Why Won't Women Swimmers Defend Their Sport?

By Michael Reagan with Michael R. Shannon

Friday, 08 April 2022

Fifteen states are fighting the Brandon (Biden) administration’s effort to force college athletics to allow hemales to compete against females.

The leftists in the administration, who’ve never found a deviancy they didn’t support, are trying to distort the plain meaning of Title IX to include "gender identity," a leftist malady that wasn’t even invented when the law was written.

Led by Attorney General Austin Knudsen of Montana — and joined by attorneys general in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and Texas — the group has signed a letter promising "to take legal action to uphold Title IX’s plain meaning and safeguard the integrity of women’s sports."

An excerpt of the letter implores, "We therefore urge the Department to halt its effort and not disturb the current Title IX regulations. The Department should also not illegally re-write Title IX to include gender identity. Make the right choice for the rule of law as well as students, parents, teachers and schools.

...

The impetus for the letter is the distortion and basic unfairness of letting swimmer Lia Thomas — born a male — decide he’s now a female and compete in collegiate swimming against women.

And not just compete. He sets records and wins championships rightfully belonging to female swimmers.

What’s remarkable about this controversy is the paucity of female swimmers speaking up. Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines is one of the very few to go public: "The majority of us female athletes, or females in general, really, are not OK with this, and they're not OK with the trajectory of this and how this is going and how it could end up in a few years."

The swimmers may not be "OK" but they aren’t motivated enough to do something in their own defense.

Gaines said she knows several women who feel the same way she does, but they're "scared" to speak out against transgender females participating in women's sports because of today's culture, and "they don't want to risk their future."
