Nashville police have shared a photo of the car used by the private school shooter who killed six, including three nine-year-old children and three staff members.
Audrey Hale, 28, is a transgender woman and alumnus of the school who wrote out their plans in a detailed manifesto.
Police shared a picture of the Honda Fit she drove to The Covenant School and announced they'd found 'additional material' written by Hale from the manifesto she'd left.
A photo has emerged of the transgender 28-year-old who mapped out and carefully planned Monday's shooting at a Nashville Christian school, before being shot dead herself.
Audrey Hale was killed by police less than 15 minutes after opening fire inside The Covenant School in the Tennessee capital, killing six.
Police said Hale was transgender, although they haven't specified further details. She was born female, but a LinkedIn profile believed to be hers uses he/him pronouns, suggesting Hale was living as a man.

HBO late night host Bill Maher slammed Hollywood environmentalists like George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and, Ben Affleck for their hypocrisy during Monday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast, including his guest, Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington.
When Huffington piously proclaimed that “Growing inequalities have gotten infinitely worse.” Maher struck back saying “Well, mostly because of you.”With a bit of pique, Huffington shot back “No, mostly because of you!” She added, “Mostly because of you flying on private planes.”
But Maher wasn’t pushed off his point.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly slammed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for declining an invitation to appear on her show. While speaking on her podcast, Kelly expressed surprise that DeSantis would choose to sit down with a British journalist rather than an American one.
Kelly stated, “I will say for the record, we asked DeSantis to come on the show. He has not said yes. And I find that very interesting. You know, I love Piers Morgan. He’s a pal of mine, but why would you go sit with the British guy and not come on the show? And I do think there’s a reason for it.”
One consistent theme with the left and their media allies is after a horrific incident involving children, they begin the blame game before the bodies are even cold.
As previously reported, a horrific mass shooting occurred at Nashville’s Covenant School Monday morning where at least six people perished, including three children.
The shooter, who was later identified as Audrey Hale, who claimed to be transgender, is also dead.
On Monday, Biden continued to blame Republicans for his ineptitude. Instead of trying to fix problems like he is supposed to do, Biden pointed the finger at “MAGA Republicans.”
After seeking more money for the Federal Aviation Administration, Biden tweeted out “If extreme MAGA House Republicans’ proposals become reality, services at 125 Air Traffic Control Towers would be shut down, and passengers at some large airports would face wait times of two hours or more.” (Tweet) Elon Musk then chimed in, “Is it accurate to refer to those making the proposal as ‘extreme MAGA’ @CommunityNotes?”

Feinstein’s protracted career as a senator also charts the rise of California as a political power player on Capitol Hill, whose 55 electoral votes – the largest block by far, with Texas and Florida as distant seconds – have helped guarantee a Democrat in the White House for six out of the last eight terms.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is recalibrating his strategy and messaging amid signs that his presidential ambitions may be faltering before his campaign even gets off the ground.
DeSantis began the year with clear momentum in the nascent GOP presidential primary, topping former President Trump in head-to-head polling and drawing unparalleled interest from Republican voters and operatives eager to see a fresh face at the helm of the party. But there are signs that his momentum may be stalling: he’s faced weeks of relentless attacks from Trump and his allies, fellow Republicans have criticized him for dubbing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “a territorial dispute”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken could be served a subpoena on Monday if he doesn’t turn over classified documents about the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said. It's extraordinary to have 23 embassy employees dissenting to the policy of the secretary of State and the White House," Rep. Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "We want to know – and the American people deserve to know, and the veterans and the Gold Star mothers deserve to know – what were in those dissenting cables
Sometimes fraud is so far beyond the pale, so egregious, that it is difficult to accept that it happened. But evidence can be too blatant to explain away, especially when two totally different sources of information confirm the existence of the very same fraudulent activity. Such a convergence of evidence occurred in the 2020 election.

An explosive allegation was made: In Pima County, thirty-five thousand (35,000) votes had been added to each Democratic candidate in the election, including Joe Biden.
Joe Biden’s Climate Envoy John Kerry sat down for an interview with Yahoo News Senior Climate Editor Ben Adler to discuss climate change.
The interviewer began by admitting Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is actually a Marxist ‘Climate Change’ bill.
Ben Adler asked John Kerry if the Biden Regime will be taking more aggressive climate action in addition to what is already in the ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’
The Orwell Maneuver -This effort, which has bubbling along for, well, 43 years, got a big boost on March 18, when the The New York Times ran a story headlined “A Four-Decade Secret: One Man’s Story of Sabotaging Carter’s Re-election.” We can see the play:Did you hear about the effort by the left to delegitimize the election of the Republican president? No, not Donald Trump—we all know about the endless effort to impugn the validity of the 2016 presidential election. This is about another lefty effort, this time to delegitimize the 1980 presidential election which saw Republican Ronald Reagan defeat Democrat Jimmy Carter in a landslide.
According to an AllSides study, Google News heavily promotes left-leaning media outlets—both in the news articles featured on its homepage and in the search results for specific topics. It also buries right-leaning outlets.
“Imbalanced or heavily biased news search results can have a negative impact on our democracy and elections,” Julie Mastrine, director of marketing and media bias ratings at AllSides, told The Daily Signal in a statement. “When people cannot access the full range of views on political and societal issues, they are subject to partisan manipulation and cannot truly decide for themselves.”
Utah State football player Josh Davis, a redshirt freshman wideout, was hospitalized after suffering a cardiac arrest during spring training on Thursday.
Davis was quickly sent to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah, and by Friday was upgraded from critical to fair condition, according to the Utah State football staff, Fox News reported. [Tweet]
“Davis received initial critical treatment and was stabilized at Logan Regional Hospital before being transported to McKay-Dee Hospital, where their critical care team continued treatment with therapeutic hypothermia to lower the body temperature to preserve his neurological function,” the school said in its statement.

At a rally in Waco, Texas, former president Donald Trump spoke to thousands of fans about what he believes are the biggest issues of the day.
If you were to pay attention to the news cycles and the American people’s biggest concerns, you might think Trump spent hours talking about persistent inflation, a minor financial crisis, border security, the fentanyl epidemic, China, Russia, energy independence, etc. None of that really seemed to be on Trump’s agenda Saturday night, however.
Instead, what we got was an airing of grievances from the former president. It was a rally focused on his personal enemies – the Department of Justice, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell,
The owner of a Rivian R1S electric SUV was overjoyed to have his dream electric vehicle after waiting for years. But after owning the car for just days, it got stuck in the snow and immobilized by a safety feature, leading to a $2,100 bill to transport it to a repair facility.
Business Insider reports that a recent incident involving an owner of a Rivian R1S has forced the maker of the electric vehicles to examine its customer service more carefully and think about making changes to improve the user experience.

I haven’t followed the January 6 prosecutions as closely as I probably should have. I thought it was obvious that the Capitol riot was the most overblown story of modern times. The idea that the protesters who entered the Capitol (mostly peacefully, as far as I could see, more or less invited in by Capitol guards) were mounting an “insurrection” was and is absurd, given that not a single one of them brought a firearm, and they made no attempt to harm anyone inside the Capitol. Some insurrection!
A big trial is now going on in Washington–the biggest, as I understand it
Friday morning, the House of Representatives passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act (H.R.5), a measure that would guarantee parents a meaningful voice in their children’s education. In a sane political environment, this would not have been a controversial bill. Yet it barely squeaked by in a 213–208 vote. Predictably, the Democrats did the bidding of their teachers union paymasters by unanimously opposing the bill. But why did five Republicans vote against it, particularly considering that it was integral to the Commitment to America on which they ran in the recent midterms?

Israel's president has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "stop the legislative process immediately" after the PM triggered widespread protests by sacking his defence minister for objecting to judicial reforms.
President Isaac Herzog, the head of state who is supposed to remain above politics, said "the eyes of the whole world are on you" following Mr Netanyahu's dismissal of Yoav Gallant on Sunday.
Mr Gallant broke ranks as an increasing number of Israeli Defence Force reservists have been going on strike in protest at the government's proposals.
Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who has not announced a presidential bid, is “running on a 1950s America,” which she believes will benefit President Joe Biden.
Brazile said, “Joe Biden this Tuesday will start to Invest in an American tour where he’s going to spend the next two or three weeks along with his members of the cabinet and the vice president. Once she returns from Africa, they’re going to begin to talk directly to the American people on the anxieties and concerns that everyday Americans have.” She continued, “I want to say something on these culture wars.

Donald Trump's lawyer distanced himself Sunday from his client's escalating attacks on New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg as he weighs criminal charges against the former president.
“I’m not his social media consultant," Joe Tacopina said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” when host Chuck Todd pressed him about whether he would advise a client to attack a prosecutor personally. "I think that was an ill-advised post that one of his social media people put up and he quickly took down when he realized the rhetoric and the photo that was attached to it." Todd responded: "You're referring to the baseball bat thing, which, of course,
The new House oversight committee investigating the political weaponization of the Justice Department may want to bring on some additional staff and start putting in some overtime. Every new story that comes out about the FBI’s actions in recent years makes the Bureau look worse and worse. The latest story posted by our colleagues at PJ Media involves the ongoing “seditious conspiracy” charges being brought against leaders and members of the Proud Boys. The trial of chapter leader Zach Rehl was preparing to call a witness this week, but ran into a problem. Their “witness” turned out to be a confidential informant for the FBI who had been spying
