Memo Shows FBI Discouraging Release Of Trans Killer’s Manifesto
'I am absolutely convinced that this is an orchestrated political cover-up because the shooter was a transgender,' Leahy said.
Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill permitting teachers and staff to carry a concealed weapon under certain conditions, despite angry theatrics from activists.
On Tuesday, hundreds of anti-gun radicals ramped up their efforts to stop the gun-rights legislation. They stormed the capitol building in Nashville, carrying signs and chanting unoriginal slogans such as "Blood on your hands!" and "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The GOP has got to go!"
Noted Democrat agitator state Rep. Justin Pearson, who has already been expelled from the Tennessee House once for his disruptive activism, spoke in the midst of the group, railing in the cadence of a Southern preacher, "This is what democracy looks like!"
The activists, most of whom appeared to be women, then performed a protest known as a "die in," whereby participants collectively collapse to the floor, pretending to be dead. They apparently believe the demonstration reflects the carnage of mass school shootings, though members of the public and law enforcement in the building that day instead likely enjoyed the brief moment of quiet.
The cries of the activists then reached a shrill pitch when the measure, SB1325, passed easily through the House, 68-28. Four Republicans joined all 24 Democrats in voting against the bill. Three more Republicans abstained.
"Vote them out!" one woman shrieked as a security officer escorted her and another individual out of the gallery. "Vote them out!"
The bill will now go to the desk of Republican Gov. Bill Lee. If he signs it or does nothing, it will become law. His only means of stopping the measure from taking effect would be to veto it, but he has never vetoed any piece of legislation since taking office in 2019.
Thus, the bill will almost assuredly soon become the law of the state. But, cosponsor Republican state Sen. Paul Bailey clarified that it will not force any "faculty or staff member" to carry a weapon. It "simply gives" them "the option," he said.
The bill also places several conditions on teachers and staff interested in arming themselves on campus. The following is a summary of those conditions, per CNN:
• Get an enhanced carry permit
• Get written authorization from the superintendent, principal, and the chief of the appropriate law enforcement agency
• Complete 40 hours of basic training in school policing and 40 hours of Peace Officer’s Standards and Training commission-approved training that is specific to school policing each year at the educator’s expense
• Complete a background check
• Undergo a psychological exam conducted by a Tennessee-licensed health care provider
As CNN noted, the bill passed just over a year after the horrific shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, which left six Christians — three adults and three children — dead. However, CNN neglected to report that the individual responsible for the murders identified as transgender, describing the shooter only as "a 28-year-old former student."
CNN also incorrectly asserted that "gun violence is the leading killer of children in the United States," which has already claimed the lives of 436 children this year. The leading killer of children in America, by far, is abortion. According to NPR, more than 1 million children died from abortion in the U.S. in 2023 alone.

The Anti-Defamation League made abundantly clear this week that it won't let reality get in the way of its preferred political narrative. The New York-based leftist group's annual report on murder and extremism claims that all of the "extremist-related murders" in the U.S. last year "were tied to right-wing extremism."
This claim caught the eye of one critic who could think of an example of extremism that proved the assessment wanting: the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.
When pressed on why it overlooked a radical transvestite's March 2023 massacre of Christians — whose "white privilege" was factored into their targeting — as an instance of extremism, the ADL cited a lack of evidence.
The ADL routinely downplays the threat of leftist and Islamist violence whilst hyping the supposed dangers of right-wing extremism. The group showed no signs of a course correction in its new "Murder and Extremism in the United States" report.
The leftist group claimed, for example, that "no police officers or corrections officers were killed by extremists this past year," apparently overlooking Mohamad Barakat's July 14, 2023, ambush of North Dakota police officers. Days after looking up an article online about the American assassination of an ISIS terrorist, Barakat, a self-described Muslim from Syria who recently became a U.S. citizen, opened fire on three officers, killing Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin.
Extremist violence against police was apparently not the ADL's only blind spot.
The report claims, "All the extremist-related murders in 2023 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with 15 of the 17 killings involving perpetrators or accomplices with white supremacist connections."
The ADL defines "right-wing extremism" thusly: "right-wing political, social and religious movements that exist outside of and are more radical than mainstream conservatism."
"This is the second year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings," said the report.
The ADL did not bother to count the Covenant School shooting.
A 28-year-old transvestite stormed a Presbyterian elementary school on March 27, 2023, armed with a rifle, a pistol, and a handgun.
The male-identifying woman murdered three children and three staff members at the Covenant School before police could put her down with four well-placed shots. Her victims were Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9; Hallie Scruggs, 9; William Kinney, 9; Katherine Koonce, 60; Cynthia Peak, 61; and Mike Hill, 61.
The shooter left behind what Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake characterized as a "manifesto."
The Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil noted that leaked elements of the shooter's manifesto, which police confirmed were legitimate, made clear that the killer transvestite was operating on the basis of the same kinds of anti-white hatred the radical left regularly traffics in.
"Kill those kids!!! Those crackers Going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis and sports backpacks with their daddies mustangs and convertibles. F— you little sh—s," wrote the female shooter. "I wish to shoot your weak ass d—s with your mop yellow hair, wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little f***ots with your white privileges. F— you f***ots."
O'Neil suggested the shooter's remarks aligned with the "left's ideological talking points on 'white privilege' and reveal[ed] a disdain for others based on the skin color."
"This hatred of white people echoes the Marxist claim that America is institutionally racist, so justice demands stripping whites of their 'privilege' and elevating racial minorities rather than securing a level playing field for all races," wrote O'Neil.
The Daily Signal asked the ADL about its decision to omit the transvestite's massacre from its list of extremist incidents and was told the Covenant School shooting does not show "clear evidence of extremism."
"The case of Hale does not appear in the report, as we did not find clear evidence of extremism," an ADL spokesman told the Signal.
"Hale left some writings, not released by police, that they described as lacking any specific political or social issues," added the spokesman. "Three pages of a document were later leaked that contained hateful epithets directed at white and LGBTQ+ people, which did not provide evidence of any particular extremist ideology, but rather primarily resentment and grievance at students from the shooter's former school perceived to be better off than the shooter was."
The ADL spokesman suggested that its assessment might change if "additional information comes to light."
"If additional evidence is subsequently revealed for a specific murder that confirms an extremist tie, such a murder would be added to the statistics at that time," continued the spokesman. "Our statistics are regularly updated to include new findings."
The ADL previously made reference to the Covenant School shooting when it suited the organization's preferred narrative.
In the aftermath of the massacre last year, the ADL raised the alarm — about "anti-transgender rhetoric" on 4chan and .win forums. The leftist grrup warned that "this sort of hate doesn't just stay online. It can inspire offline violence."
While the motive of the Nashville shooter remains unknown, unfounded claims that the incident was rooted in gender identity have been weaponized. This rise in anti-transgender hate must be taken seriously.— (@)

A transgender individual threatened to rape Christian schoolgirls, inject HIV into people wearing crosses, and carry out a copycat of the Nashville Christian Covenant School shooting, according to federal authorities.
Jason Lee Willie – a biological male who identifies as Alexia N. Willie – was charged on Nov. 7 with 14 felony counts of interstate communication of a threat to injure.
Willie – a 47-year-old from Nashville, Illinois – allegedly made the macabre threats in online videos and during streaming video calls.
In a ghastly threat from Illinois to Virginia, Willie purportedly vowed to commit a school shooting.
"We're out here walking into your school, shooting your children, and I'm going to tell you right now, I'm gonna be one of them and the FBI isn't gonna stop me, but I'm gonna kill your children out here," Willie declared, according to the indictment.
"There's a lot of transgenders out here that are tired of being picked on and we're going to go into the schools and we're going to kill their f***ing children out here, and that's the end of it. We're at war," Willie reportedly said.
Willie allegedly made a subtle threat to carry out a copycat shooting like the one executed in March by a transgender individual who killed three children and three adults at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
"A person in Tennessee walked into one of your schools and shot up a bunch of your Christian daughters," Willie purportedly said. "That's not the last of them if you don't shut your f***ing mouth."
In August, Willie allegedly used the video platform MeetMe to make more heinous threats under the username Mentally Unstable.
"I catch your daughters in them bathrooms alone, I am gonna f*** them. I mean I am gonna f*** f*** them until they're dead," Willie allegedly proclaimed. "I guarantee I'll be in the bathroom raping your Christian daughters."
Willie allegedly admitted to being an "open pedophile."
The indictment accused Willie of challenging the Republican Party by calling its members "weak," "p***ies," and "f*gg*ts."
Willie reportedly said, "You can't do nothing about us. You can cry. Cry. Put me on national television, I don't care. I'm transgender, I'm in the bathroom raping your f*** daughters and I'm openly letting you guys know this. The Republican Party, what are you f*gg*ts going to do about us?"
The self-identifying transgender individual allegedly threatened to inject HIV into people wearing Christian crosses.
"I catch you b****es out here with a cross around your neck in that restroom, you better know we’re going to hit you with a f***ing syringe," Willie said, according to the indictment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
Willie reportedly disparaged black Americans.
"They're trash, they're Christian trash. They're transphobic, they're homophobic. They're no different than the f***ing white supremacists," Willie allegedly said of black people. "That's exactly who the f*** they are. Listen, Dave Chappelle and all the blacks out here, all the black people out here talking about trannies and s**t, they ain’t no different than the white supremacists either. You all bow to the same cross."
Newsweek reported that Willie made terrifying claims of murdering a preacher in 2018. The FBI was alerted when Willie allegedly wrote on Facebook about killing a preacher who had supposedly molested Willie and hundreds of other children.
The FBI also interrogated Willie over another alleged incident on the Twitch streaming platform, where Willie allegedly threatened to bomb people who discriminate against transgender rights.
Willie pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody. A trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 16.

The Metro Nashville Police Department has placed seven officers on administrative duty after several pages of the Covenant School killer's manifesto were leaked.
In a statement, the police department claimed that moving the officers to desk duty is not punishment for the leak.
"Seven individuals are on administrative assignment (absolutely non-punitive) to protect the integrity of the active, progressing investigation," a police department spokesman said. "All seven have full police power. We are not identifying any of the seven by name. Not fair to them."
The department, however, did not explain the connection between the seven officers and the leak.
The department's manual states that officers may be placed on administrative assignment when their supervisor has approved them "to be absent from their normal assigned tour of duty and no other type status is appropriate." Administrative assignment, the manual explains, is typically reserved for officers who have been involved "in a use of force that is under investigation." It does not state other reasons for administrative duty.
On Monday, Steven Crowder published three pages of that screed, which he obtained through a source in the police department. The pages included the killer's "death day" schedule and the killer's hate-fueled ramblings.
The leak set off a firestorm of controversy, and Mayor Freddie O'Connell (D) demanded an investigation into how the pages were leaked. MNPD Chief John Drake later confirmed the pages are authentic.
"I am greatly disturbed by today’s unauthorized release of three pages of writings from the Covenant shooter. This police department is extremely serious about the investigation to identify the person responsible," Drake said in a statement. "This action showed a total disregard for Covenant families, as well as the court system, which has control of the shooter’s journals at the present time due to litigation filed earlier this year."
While it's true there is an ongoing legal battle over the manifesto, Crowder made a keen observation about the reaction of Nashville authorities over the leak.
"The powers that be are more concerned about finding the leaker than they are about the contents of [the killer]'s anti-white manifesto. Interesting," he said.
