Georgia Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray was bullied by classmates who called him gay, his father told detectives in an interview last year. Colin Grey, 54, made the claims when the Jackson County Sheriff’s office interviewed him after the FBI received a tip that his son had threatened a shooting at his middle school. “It was very […] The post Apalachee High School Killer Had Issues with Transgenderism appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Well of course. Here’s the headline from Fox News:  NYT editorial board member says it's 'silly' for journalists to hold Harris and Trump equally accountable 'Given the breadth of what the vice president is offering the American people, there is no comparison with Donald Trump,' Mara Gay said Got that? If journalists have the gall - the gall!!!- to hold the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates to equal account - then they should be called out for bias. And why would that be? Here is Times Ed Board member Mara Gay explaining why. It’s “a little silly” Gay explained on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”  And just why would that be? Ms. Gay said (with bold print supplied for emphasis): I think the challenge, not just for journalists, but really for the country, is that not only is Donald Trump a threat, but, you know, it lowers the bar. So I don’t think it’s unacceptable. And I think it’s important for our role as journalists to really push every candidate for office. …And there are plenty of things that we could hear from the vice president that we’d love to hear more about policy speeches. It’d be great to see her take more questions from the press. Those things are important.    …It’s just the context is difficult because of the extremism of the Republican Party, because of how extreme Donald Trump is, it’s hard to hold both candidates accountable equally, because one is committed to democracy and is functioning as a normal candidate from a normal American party, and the other is not. Got that? Kamala Harris is “committed to democracy.” And Trump is not only not committed to democracy, but along with the Republican Party he is all about “extremism.” Really? Really? Recall that it is the Biden-Harris Administration that has made it a point to persecute Trump- to go out of their way to, as a forthcoming Newsmax film ("The Persecution of Donald Trump”) puts it, use the government they and their political allies run to “destroy him personally, financially, and politically.” Needless to say, the conduct of the Biden-Harris Administration and like minded Democrat progressive prosecutors in left-leaning cities is hardly showing that one is “committed to democracy.”  It would be the direct opposite.  Gay went on to tell Scarborough: And so, you know, this is really about the extremism of the Republican ticket. And it’s important to hold all candidates accountable. It’s just that when you do that, it does sometimes sound a little silly, because given the breadth of what the vice president is offering the American people, there is no comparison with Donald Trump. This, mind you, from a member of the Times Ed Board that has stated:  As the institutional voice of The Times, the editorial board serves our mission to help our global audience understand the world by providing a consistent, independent view of the world based on time-tested institutional values. Got that? The Times Ed Board is about being based on helping “our global audience understand the world by providing a consistent, independent view of the world based on time-tested institutional values.” And what “time-tested institutional values” would those be? Recall this story from the New York Post back there in the stone age of June, 2021, a mere three years ago. The Post headline:   NY Times defends Mara Gay for saying she was ‘disturbed’ by American flags Yes, that would be the self-same Times Ed-Board member Mara Gay, who said the following per the Post:  The New York Times is vigorously defending editorial board member Mara Gay after she was widely ripped for saying she was “disturbed” at the sight of “dozens of American flags” flying in Long Island. Gay had herself complained about the attacks that followed her appearance on MSNBC early Tuesday in which she said Donald Trump supporters flew the flag to say that “this is my country … not your country. Got that? In the view of this NY Times Editorial Board member, flying the American flag is extremist. Donald Trump is extremist. The Republican Party is extremist. And because of that? …..“it’s hard to hold both candidates accountable equally, because one is committed to democracy and is functioning as a normal candidate from a normal American party, and the other is not."  So what do we have here? One party and its candidate - the GOP and former President Trump - is extremist and anti-democracy because its supporters love to fly the American flag. The other party - the one favored by Ms. Gay and the Times - has used its governmental power to persecute the opposition’s presidential candidate, as noted, so as  to “destroy him personally, financially, and politically.” Nothing anti-democracy about that. Right. And oh yes. Flying the American flag, per Ms. Gay, is a decided sign of extremism. Got it.

United Record Pressing Category: Vinyl record pressing Founders: Ozell Simpkins, John Dunn, and Joe Talbot Founded: 1949 Location: Nashville, Tennessee Current CEO: Mark Michaels Representative products: Vinyl pressings, customized vinyl pressings, and reissue pressings, in a range of colors and templatesAt a glance: Founded as Southern Plastics in 1949, the year that the smaller 45 rpm record format first appeared, United Record Pressing is now the oldest and largest vinyl record pressing plant in America. It has since grown to become one of the largest and most prominent record pressing plants in the world, churning out roughly 80,000 records a day. United Record Pressing has innovated the art of making vinyl records. The company has pressed some incredibly important albums and singles, from a diverse range of music legends including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift, Hank Williams Jr., Tammy Wynette, Kanye West, Adele, Mumford & Sons, the Black Keys, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Antebellum, and Dolly Parton. It also pressed the Beatles’ “Please Please Me”/ “From Me to You,” the band’s first single made in America. United Record Pressing is also known for its community engagement: At a time when the South was segregated, United Record Pressing welcomed black musicians and industry executives. It survived the industry drought. Demand for vinyl exploded during COVID-19 lockdowns. In 2023, the United Record Pressing saw a $10 million expansion that added 200 jobs to the company. In their own words: CEO Mark Michaels Seventy-five-plus years of history gives you a lot of gas in your tank in terms of pride. You don’t make the first Beatles record in America, you don’t make all these Motown records, you don’t accumulate all this history and know-how and not have something special. And I never want to lose that. There's a whole generation that never really got to experience music as art. They may value the portability (of downloads), but they still want to have an experience. Never in a million years did I think it would, as a market and as an industry, become what it’s become today. The vinyl revival has been incredible to witness. At United Record Pressing, we’re dedicated to meeting the growing demand with the highest standards of quality and precision. It’s an exciting time for both music lovers and the industry. United Record Pressing is and always has been a Tennessee-based company with over 74 years of rich history here. We are excited to be making this investment in our expansion in Middle Tennessee and are very appreciative of the important support we have received. I bought the company in 2007. I’ve got an enormous passion for music, so that was a happy coincidence. But that wasn’t why I bought it. I thought it was a good deal, and I wanted to build a small, niche business. I didn’t think vinyl was going to go away, but I didn’t think it was going to have the explosive growth that it has had over the past decade.

When there’s a tragedy, there is a politician exploiting the tragedy to push their political agenda — and the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia is no different. The horror began when a 14-year-old student shot and killed two students, Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, and two teachers, Christina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall. Upon further investigation, the police have reported that the shooter was clearly obsessed with mass shootings, specifically the Parkland school shooting in 2018, which left 17 people dead. Now, the Biden administration is using the shooting to suggest that guns need to be taken out of the hands of citizens and placed only in the arms of the government. Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” couldn’t disagree more. “Obviously, if you’re paying attention, you know that murder is illegal. You know that schools are gun-free zones, and you can’t make murder more illegal, okay? It’s already illegal, and bad people are going to do really bad things. So, the least we can do for our kids is provide meaningful security for them,” Gonzales says. The Apalachee High School was outfitted with an armed School Resources Officer, and the damage might have been much worse had they not been on the scene. However, Kamala Harris has gone on record claiming that our schools need to be “demilitarized” and police officers don’t belong in them. “Eliminating police officers, school resource officers, from the schools will do nothing except make our children sitting ducks. And Kamala says she wants to demilitarize,” Gonzales says. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wasted no time using this moment to capitalize on the Biden administration's agenda, telling Americans that “we need universal background checks” and to “ban assault weapons.” “The bodies aren’t even cold, yet let’s not waste a moment of our time to grandstand, to take away your Second Amendment rights,” Gonzales comments.
