THE TAOS TATLER.

When the Biden Administration opened the borders to all, they meant all.

From Not the Bee

During Joe Biden’s term, an estimated 233,000 unaccompanied children crossed the border and were completely lost.

The Trump admin has now found 22,638 of these children.
But many of them have suffered unbelievable horrors:

John Fabbricatore, HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior advisor, said to Fox News:

We found children who have been raped. We’re talking about debt bondage, where children are being made to work off debt, trafficking debt. We’re talking about children that were brought into situations and then treated like sexual slaves.

So far, 27 of the children Biden lost have been found dead, often from murder or drug overdose.

The most difficult part in grasping this horrific scandal is trying to comprehend the mindset of the Bidenistas when deciding to make the United States a borderless country. Did they consider for a nanosecond the negative consequences of their obvious political act, which was bringing in warm bodies to vote Democrat?

This blogger comes up with two explanations. One is slightly more charitable than the other, which is, in they’re rush to usher as many aliens as possible into the US before being stopped, Biden’s apparatchiks didn’t have the luxury of time to consider the possible ill consequences of their haste.

The other explanation, and the one favored by your Tatler is, these people were so obsessed with bringing  sufficient warm bodies into the US to outnumber Republicans in future elections, that though well aware that opening the borders and exercising not the least restrictions who entered the US, would result in enormous numbers children as well, and they simply did not care.

My guess is, if called on their utterly irresponsible behavior by anyone on their camp, they would make soothing noises about establishing child care centers and throwing lots of money at them–they’re Democrats, after all–and put any remaining qualms out of their minds, thinking only of the good of the party.

Speculation by this blogger, of course, but it is only an attempt to understand how these awful people could be so conscience-free to allow such enormous numbers of children, infants many of them, to come into this country unaccompanied, and having to deal with some of the worst people on earth lying in wait for them.

Perhaps, though, there is even a simpler explanation: those beings responsible for all those poor, unaccompanied children are just plain evil. Truly, they should face the consequences for such evil.

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

(In a different context from the original)

Despite the vehemence with which trans defenders insist otherwise, there is ample evidence the rate transsexuals commit murder is far higher than for normal psychopaths.

The Western Journal analyzed numbers and states that data indicates 40% of school shooters since 2020 have either been transgender or “trans-suspected.”

It is undoubtedly true that a disproportionate amount of violence has arisen in recent years from LGBTQ identifying people. Robert “Robin” Westman, the Minneapolis Catholic school shooter, is unfortunately one in an ever-lengthening line of transgender shooters and domestic terrorists. In fact, the very day after the Minneapolis school shooting, a transgender person in Massachusetts murdered the father of a young child. But according to Western Journal, school shooters in the last five years have particularly shown a trend of transgender violence.

A pet peeve of this blogger,  who for whatever the official reasons, considered the renaming of the War Department to Defense, in 1947, appeared wimpy, mushy, and weak. Created by Congress in 1789, the department’s original name projected strength, especially vital for a young nation, but an image which we should still project. “Defense” doesn’t cut it,  giving the impression we’re embarrassed about our nation’s power, almost apologizing for it. Hogwash. A strong nation has nothing to be ashamed of, and it’s about time we return to the department’s original name.

Bravo, Mr President.

Admirable as the man is, this blogger does not always agree with Elon Musk. Here, however, he is right on the mark.

From X.

My observation is that a major driver of white males becoming trans is the relentless propaganda portraying white men as the worst human beings.

If those lies land, especially during vulnerable teen years, and they are given an option to be a “celebrated” group, some will do it.

UPDATE: And there’s this.

Outlet Claims That Over a Third of School Shooters Since 2020 Were Trans.

The Western Journal analyzed numbers and states that data indicates 40% of school shooters since 2020 have either been transgender or “trans-suspected.”

It is undoubtedly true that a disproportionate amount of violence has arisen in recent years from LGBTQ identifying people. Robert “Robin” Westman, the Minneapolis Catholic school shooter, is unfortunately one in an ever-lengthening line of transgender shooters and domestic terrorists. In fact, the very day after the Minneapolis school shooting, a transgender person in Massachusetts murdered the father of a young child. But according to Western Journal, school shooters in the last five years have particularly shown a trend of transgender violence.

Back in January, a “woman” [sic]–or sick, your choice], going by the name of Jaia Cruz, murdered a postal worker, Ray Hodges III in a New York deli by stabbing him 15 times. The motive? They were arguing over a place in line. The killer just received a plea-bargained 15 years. Hodge’s friends and family are furious over the relatively light sentence, but given justice in New York these days, that’s probably the best they could hope for.

One factor in this crime is one you will have great difficulty finding in most news media. Can you guess what the press is leaving out (the question alone should make it easy)?

The answer is, the killer is a transsexual, and as we all know, we are not permitted to mention a criminal’s sexuality if he/she/it did something heinous. Apparently, the media feels compelled to prohibit any mention of it, regardless of transsexuals’ seeming to have a remarkable propensity for violence. Apparently, they are considered “victims” and have a right to privacy, we suppose, far greater than the victims of their crimes.

Callous stupidity unbound, in the name correctness. Which brings to mind this classic cartoon.

This is essential reading for all, the story of a country that has descended into utter chaos. Haiti has a tortured history going back to its discovery by Columbus in 1492, but the last half-century has been especially brutal to the wretched souls living there, owing to the disappearance of law enforcement, with armed, warring gangs filling the void. Certain politicians who wish to see the removal of all police from our already deteriorating cities can learn from this terrifying piece (if they choose to), and the likely results should they get their way.

From the Sunday Times’s, Inside Haiti: where women are raped on the street and gangs rule, by Louise Callahan, who, in this blogger’s opinion, deserves a prize for her reporting.

A few short excerpts, but this story must be read in its entirety.

Today, Haiti is the poorest country in the Caribbean and Latin America. It has a similar GDP per capita to Bangladesh. Half the population do not have enough to eat. Hundreds of thousands of children are malnourished.

In the capital there is no accountability, no one in charge, no one who can fix things when they go wrong. In most of Port-au-Prince and its suburbs, where about a quarter of Haiti’s 12 million population live, the gangs are the only law. Police are scattered through the 10 per cent of the capital still controlled by the government, where they park their armoured cars at intersections and fire at people they think are gang members.

Especially pertinent for those naïve, but cynical politicos in this country, who still insist  government aid programs help the poor, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary:

There’s also a growing belief among Haitians, however, that pumping in money from abroad doesn’t change a thing. Haiti has received more than $13 billion in international aid since 2010. None of the 3,000 NGOs in the country got in the way of a gang takeover.

“There’s billions and billions of dollars spent here, and you can’t really see it,” said Louino Robillard, who runs Gwoup Konbit, a mutual aid organisation that aims to help Haitians help themselves. “Of course money can be used as a tool to help with the solution. But the solution first of all, it should be within Haitians — to work together for our common goal.”

What a sad, hopeless mess is Haiti, with no discernible sign that there will be any improvement in her lot for a long, long time.

Many Catholics will be watching to see how Pope Leo handles the outlandish deviations from proper celebration of the mass by one of his bishops.

The Catholic Herald reports:

On the 26 August, Bishop Emeritus Raúl Vera López of Saltillo presided at Mass in the basilica with Rev Emilie Teresa Smith, a Canadian Anglican minister, standing beside him as a concelebrant. During the liturgy, Ms Smith, wearing a stole (a liturgical vestment), joined in parts of the Eucharistic Prayer, whispered words of consecration, raised her hand in blessing and elevated the chalice containing the Precious Blood of Christ.

To add to his over-the-top violations, the bishop then posted his mass celebration on Facebook for all to view.

The Mass was recorded and published on the bishop’s own Facebook page, where it quickly gained attention. In a post accompanying the video, the bishop invited viewers to “reflect together” on the Gospel of the day, quoting the words of Christ in St Matthew’s Gospel condemning hypocrisy and spiritual blindness.

Thence come the platitudes and patronizing we expect from the left.

“We are no longer in witch hunts and bonfire times,” the bishop also said in his Facebook post. “The word of our sister Emilie gives us light, life and guidance as Laudato Si’ asks for all the people of this planet.”

Will the bishop’s way of fending off criticism from traditional Catholics get him off the hook? Possibly, but there is considerable upset over Bishop López, and he may find he went too far indulging himself with his clown mass. Much depends on how Pope Leo reacts. He surely is aware of the story and how he deals with it will tell us a great deal of his future toleration of gross violations of church teachings, like those recently committed by Bishop Lopez.

NEW – JAKE TAPPER: We need to make sure we use the correct pronouns for the Minneapolis Catholic church sh-oter.

Your Tatler can’t help wondering if woke wackos like Jake Tapper perpetrate items like the above simply to provoke the vastly higher number of non-Democrats in this country, but in the end the conclusion is always no. Tapper seems to sincerely believe his absurd and extreme ideas are factual. However, that should not dissuade rational folks from believing Jake Tapper is mad as a hatter and ought be institutionalized.

The New York Post:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey preached about trans rights during a presser on the mass shooting that left two children dead at Annunciation Catholic School, hours after it was revealed gunman Robin Westman identified as a transgender woman.

And this from the National Catholic Register.

After a pair of out-of-state school shootings in 2022 and 2023 shocked the nation, Minnesota’s bishops implored state lawmakers to provide security funding for local non-public schools.

Now, two years after their appeals went unheeded, tragedy has struck one of their own.

On the morning of Aug. 27, a gunman opened fire during at an all-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, killing two students, aged 10 and 8; 14 other students and three adults were injured.

There is nothing that can be added to the remarks of these callous clods. It is sufficient to let their words speak for themselves.
