Maine Manhunt Ends as Authorities Find Body of Lewiston Massacre Gunman
Robert R. Card II “was found dead Friday from a self-inflicted gunshot, ending an intensive two-day search that had the state on edge. . . . Card was found at 7:45 p.m. near the Androscoggin River . . . at a recycling center from which Card had been fired.” In addition to updating that information, I also wanted to clarify that the death toll was 18, and not 22, as originally reported — the inaccurate death count repeated here Wednesday (“Mass Murder in Maine: At Least 22 Killed, Dozens Wounded, Suspect at Large”). In breaking news situations like this, the early reports always have to be considered tentative. Twitter gets flooded with unsubstantiated claims, and even reputable news organizations get facts wrong (e.g., NBC News had the death toll at 22 Wednesday night).

Maine Shooter, Robert Card Found Dead And The Spin Begins
As Deanna reported earlier, the anti-gun lobby (specifically, Shannon Watts), are quick to jump on the appropriate talking points. Take this from Marca.com:
Card liked tweets from high-profile conservative figures such as Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Dinesh D’Souza. He also engaged with publications from former house speakers Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan…”-Marca.com
And, we see where this is going…
The most “eye-catching”, (according to Marca) of them all that Mr. Card, liked this tweet from Donald Trump Jr.:
Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years… by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population… maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullsh*t on our kids?”-Donald Trump Jr.
He also liked this Tweet from Tucker Carlson:
The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they’re God can’t stand to be reminded that they’re not.”-Tucker Carlson
(Gasp.) A right-winger with an assault rifle who was, apparently, not a fan of the trans movement.
What’s more? “Via a tweet from Dinesh D’Souza, Card “also expressed his support for guns”.
Again, we see where this is going. Card liked tweets from Don Jr., Tucker and Dinesh. He was a far-right nut job. The liberal media is about to pounce. A “senseless and tragic” mass shooting. Man, if only we had more gun laws! Right, Joe?

University to offer master’s degree in witchcraft, magic and occult science
A new master’s degree in witchcraft, magic, and occult science is scheduled to be offered September 2024 at the University of Exeter in England as faculty cite growing student interest.
The new program will explore “specific interests within the long and diverse history of esotericism, witchcraft, ritual magic, occult science, and related topics,” and “build interdisciplinary expertise,” according to the university website.
Students will study history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, drama, and religion to understand “the role of magic on the west and east,” The Guardian reported.
“A recent surge in interest in magic and the occult inside and outside academia lies at the heart of the most urgent questions of our society,” Professor Emily Selove, director of the new program, told the newspaper.

9-Year-Old Jewish Boy Threatened by Man With Knife While Playing in Brooklyn Playground
Anti-Semitism is on the rise all over the world, even here in the U.S., in the wake of Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,400 people. The violence didn’t stop there. Thousands more were injured in the assault and hundreds taken hostage back to Gaza. It was brutal, bloody, and motivated by hate. And hate, like the disease it is, has spread across the globe.
The latest incident comes from Brooklyn, N.Y., where, according to a report from the New York Post, a 9-year-old Jewish boy was allegedly threatened by a suspect armed with a knife who shouted, “I will kill you, Jew.”
So we’re really supposed to believe that “racism” is institutional and all over the place, ready to pounce on any and every minority, but leftists will swear up and down that there’s no such thing as legitimate anti-Semitism because Jews in Israel are the oppressors of the Palestinians. This, of course, is an absolute and total lie.
Check out more details about the incident via the Post:
The sickening scene unfolded at a playground at KIPP AMP Middle School and MS 354 Monday evening in Crown Heights, according to the NYPD and the victim’s mother, who said her daughter was also targeted in the attack.
Police and sources said the man also screamed “Heil Hitler” at the boy, but Sundroy, who was at the park with her six children, said that was actually directed at her daughter.
During the attack, several people also shouted “Allahu Akbar” in front of the children, according to Sundroy and police sources.

The View’s Republicans Blame ‘Gun-Owner Apologists’ for Mass Shootings
The term “RINO” didn’t begin to describe the level of contempt the so-called “conservatives” of ABC’s The View had for the ideology and people they purported to represent. In the wake of the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, FAKE conservatives Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro spewed pure ignorance and hatred at any Republican (politician and private citizen) who supported the Second Amendment and wanted their gun rights secured; openly blaming law-abiding gun owners for mass shootings.
Farah Griffin began her uniformed screed by falsely claiming that gun violence and mass shootings were a “uniquely American problem.” And she tried to portray herself as a knowledgeable commentator who supported the Second Amendment because her husband “owns a gun.”
According to an NPR report from 2019, in the Western Hemisphere alone, the U.S.’s per capita gun deaths were more than eclipsed by at least 10 different countries. Gun violence was one of the leading reasons why people were fleeing Central and South American countries for the U.S.
