I have a difficult confession to make that probably seems trivial in the grander scheme of this tragedy.

The fact that the media reports are saying the shooter was female — I hate that I can’t trust them to be fully honest. I suspect TIM because mass shootings are male-pattern violence. But who knows if this was an outlier. The fact is they will never say whether the shooter was a real woman or a TIM because woke editorial guidelines forbid them from distinguishing.

And I hate that this is even a question. In a sane world you could trust journalists to report if it was a male shooter disguised as a woman. But now they can’t because of TRA Orwellian authoritarianism governing the newsroom and the public discourse writ large.

If the shooter was a TIM there would be more backlash for “misgendering” the murderer than for the actual murder. He or she is dead, so at least if it was a TIM he wouldn’t be in a woman’s prison. And again it may be not. But just the lack of clarity is infuriating.

And it angers me that Republicans can’t be trusted to protect women and kids from guns, while Democrats can’t be trusted to protect women and kids from TRA butchery, assault, and gaslighting.

All of this could be moot of course. But I can’t escape the thought nevertheless.

This was a pretty great interview. Really wish she had gone harder on the trans kid issue, Bill has been dancing around the woke genderists all season and it's starting to seem suspicious. His final monologue for "New Rules" this episode was great and perfectly applies to the stupid gender bullshit, so I really don't understand why he won't call it out!

He's made dumb comments about transgender stuff in the past, such as presenting "bathroom bills" as being based upon "imaginary concerns," and mocking the idea of predatory males taking advantage of pro-genderism policies. Not really a fan of Steven Crowder, but he actually did a pretty good response to Bill's poo-pooing of a guest talking about people saying that men can menstruate. He refused to take it seriously, and Steven proved that not only are people saying this, but that companies are saying this.

I wish Bill had the guts to go there. Maybe he relies too much on his interns to tell him what the hot topics are now?

I've wondered what's up with him too. Usually there are no sacred cows if he thinks something is laughable, and this seems like just the sort of thing that he would find ridiculous. He's probably been told.

At the same time I'm not surprised he doesn't think much of the bathroom bills. I mean, I used to think that way too - who would go through the trouble? Well, I know better now!

I remember Bill rolling his eyes in a New Rules segment about TRAs canceling The Vagina Monologs

I remember he had Eddie Izzard on before he’d come out as trans and Bill kept being up the subject of him wearing women’s clothes and kind of mocking him. And I think after the heat he received from that episode he reeled it in. I’m sure if he had Eddie on now he’d be treating him like a proper lady to pander to the woketivists he claims to resent.

I'm glad to see someone else watched this episode. Notice she pulled her kids out of private school. No where is safe, even if you have money!

I like Megyn. I know she's somewhat of a darling of the right, but she gives no quarter with this foolishness.
