You should know about this case if you haven’t heard about it yet. Jillian Ludwig was an 18 year old musician here in Nashville attending Belmont University. She died a few days ago after getting hit in the head by a bullet fired by Shaquille Taylor who was out on the street corner shooting randomly at passing cars.
Taylor is of course a career criminal with an extensive rap sheet. This past spring he was charged with aggravated assault when he shot into a vehicle with children inside. The charges were dismissed and Taylor was set free after the court deemed him mentally unfit for trial. They didn’t send him to a mental institution. They just let him go. Now Jillian Ludwig is dead.
This is what “compassion” for these violent parasites gets you. It’s a trade off. Compassion for them means abject cruelty to innocent people like Jillian Ludwig. It means that Jillian Ludwig has to die so that we can be nice to a criminal scumbag who contributes absolutely nothing to society.
Society would be a better place if Shaquille Taylor was not in it. It would be better place if Jillian Ludwig was still in it. But instead Ludwig is dead and Taylor is alive. This is what we do now. Time and time and time again. We trade the worst for the best. We sacrifice the lives of the people you want in your community for the sake of people that nobody wants anywhere near them.

1/ Kamala became VP in 2020 because of DEI. She became the nominee in 2024 because of DEI. Now, @DoNoHarm has compiled a list of all the ways the Biden-Harris Admin spent your money on DEI. As a certified DEI expert myself, here are my favorites:
2/ The TSA deployed new "imaging technology" to "reduce the instances of enhanced screening for trans persons." Basically, TSA officers no longer ask your gender, and they don’t mind seeing unexpected "objects" when "women" walk through the body scanner. Feel safer yet?
3/ HUD announced a new plan to combat the scourge of homeless asexuals.
1/ Tim Walz' government is paying $10,500 for a they/them and a he/they to take sexually confused kids as young as 11 into the woods to talk about “queer” animal sex and trans frogs. Parents aren't welcome. 🧵
2/ The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources “No Child Left Inside” grant is funding “QUEERY,” a program by the Clean River Partners that stands for “Queer Unity, Environmental Education, and Recreation for Youth.”
3/ Run by a “trans-non-binary” “they/them” named Heron, the club is “specifically designed for queer and questioning middle and high school youth” to “explore how queerness shows up in nature.”
BREAKING: The @AmerAcadPeds has kicked out a detrans group that included Chloe Cole, Abel Garcia, Soren Aldaco, and Nicolas Flowers from their annual conference. Why is the AAP preventing doctors from hearing these stories?
2/ Video of the incident shows the AAP claimed one individual was associated with a different group who, last year, violated the code of conduct. Security wouldn’t confirm who the individual was, what the violation was, or why it impacted this different group in a different year.
3/ Rather than speak for themselves, the AAP sent venue security to inform these mental health professionals, mothers, and detransitioners that they had 10 minutes to pack up their booth and exit the conference venue.
1/ Many have asked how it's possible that our new film "Am I Racist?" hasn't been reviewed by a single mainstream critic, even with a 99% audience score, a “Verified Hot” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a top 5 box office debut. Here's what's happening behind the scenes. 🧵
2/ Beginning in mid-August, we reached out to dozens of mainstream outlets, offering an early screener of the film. Those outlets included @TIME, @AP, @IndieWire, @Variety, @THR, @nytimes, @NewYorker, and many others. We followed up to virtual silence.
3/ We did, however, receive a flurry of unprofessional emails from independent critics who were enraged we'd even ask them to review the film. One of them wrote that he won't waste any "professional time" on a movie opening in over 1,500 theaters because I was involved.
Don’t listen to the lies about Amendment 4. It will absolutely without question codify a right to abortion UNTIL BIRTH. Anyone who supports the amendment is supporting a Soros funded initiative to kill fully developed infant children. I will show you why.
Here’s the text of the amendment: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”
Notice the “or.” The “or” is the whole point here.
The amendment enshrines the right to abortion PAST viability if it “protects the patient’s health.” Notice it doesn’t say “life.” This isn’t abortion to protect the patient’s life, but health. What does health mean? Well it means literally anything. Physical health, mental health, emotional health, financial health. In other words, it means that a woman can get an abortion for literally any reason as long as it’s framed broadly and vaguely under the umbrella of “health.”
A lot of very bad parenting ideas have become popular in recent decades. One of the worst is that you should never offer “because I said so” as an answer to your child when he asks why he has to do something or why he can’t do something. In fact, “because I said so” is one of the best and most effective answers you can give. You should say it as much as possible. A child should be trained to respect your authority and follow your instructions whether or not he understands or agrees. Weak leaders explain themselves, cajole, and negotiate. Many parents today are weak leaders in their homes.
“Why” questions in this context from a child are almost always an act of defiance. He doesn’t really care why you’re telling him to turn off the TV. He’s just looking for a point to argue. “Because I said so” is not an answer that invites argument, which is why it’s much better than actually trying to explain your reasoning.
The great @JohnKRosemond has written extensively on this point
