The suspect in a gun rampage in Philadelphia that left four men and a teen boy dead, Carricker was reportedly carrying an AR-15-style assault rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. On his now-deleted Facebook account, Vice notes, “he posted repeatedly about his second amendment rights, his pro-gun stance, his support for former president Donald Trump, and his disdain for President Joe Biden.” A Tucker Carlson fan, he also posted ominous passages from scripture, turning them into threats.

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, “Sex returns to the Replika AI companion app, but not everyone is feeling the love.”

Fox News demagogue Tucker Carlson announced the start of a holy war against the trans movement in the wake of the tragic shootings at a Nashville Christian school by an apparent trans man. On his show Tuesday night, Carlson declared that the trans movement was the “natural enemy” of Christianity and should be treated as such.

If someone were to call for Judaism to be “eradicated from public life entirely,” would you doubt their genocidal intent?

With professional misogynist and accused human trafficker Andrew Tate out of the picture at the moment, it seems as though neo-Nazi troll Andrew Anglin is vying to become something of a Tate replacement in the affections of troubled young men, spouting reactionary Red Pill “wisdom” about women and giving advice to young men not altogether different from that proffered by the other Andrew.
