Wow. I just searched the NYTimes app for “beheading.”
Nothing on Belfast.
But I did find an article praising people who beheaded Christopher Columbus statues in 2020.
You can’t make this stuff up.
@johnkonrad Omnibus bills should be introduced on a spreadsheet with a “yes” or “no” box for each item - defaulted to “no”. Members would be required to change it to “yes” if they want it funded. No “select all” option. Then they’d be on the record for each item.
I’m not surprised you would say something like this, @GovSherrillNJ.
On June 8th, I personally granted you access to the facility as an act of good faith— despite you having exactly ZERO federal oversight authority. Of course, you’re still trying to turn Delaney Hall into a political football for the radical left.
You were told BEFORE you went in you would not have the ability to speak to detainees. This is a federal facility, Governor. You are NOT federally elected.
I suggest you and your health inspectors spend more time at your New Jersey state detention facilities. Delaney Hall has 2x more medical personnel per detainee than NJ state prison, and at least 2x as much square footage. Detainees are also 2x more likely to die in NJ state custody. ⬇️
DAY 9 of National Gun Violence Awareness Month. And today I want to talk to every person who has ever told a woman she does not need a gun.
It is a Friday night in December. Waco, Texas. You are alone. The neighborhood is quiet. And then your back door explodes.
Not a knock. A KICK. Two men. Masks. Already inside before your brain finishes processing what just happened.
December 12, 2025. Speight Avenue. We do not know her name — she did not ask for coverage. What we know comes from the police report and the emergency room records. Because that last part matters.
She fired approximately eleven rounds. The two men fled.
Twenty minutes later, a 32-year-old named Antonio Chavez was dropped off at Baylor Scott and White with a bullet in his forearm. He was already on the books for two violations of a protective order and continuous violence against family. The system had already met Antonio Chavez. The system had already given someone a piece of paper to keep him away. He violated it twice. Then he put on a mask and kicked in a woman's back door.
His bond was set at $276,000. The woman was never charged. Because Texas law is perfectly clear about what you are allowed to do when two masked men kick in your door.
She had a gun. She is alive. Full stop.
Now the numbers. Because this is still a science classroom.
Women are seven to eleven times more likely to use a gun for self-defense than to be murdered. Not safer with a gun — DRAMATICALLY safer. The University of Chicago — not exactly a right-wing institution — calculated that more relaxed carry laws between 1977 and 1992 would have prevented 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, and 60,000 aggravated assaults every single year. John Lott found that when concealed carry laws were adopted, rape rates fell measurably, county by county, because predators respond to the possibility of an armed victim the same way every living thing responds to mortal risk — they avoid it.
The Supreme Court already told you in DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005) that the government has no legal obligation to protect you. The protective order Chavez violated twice was a piece of paper. The court issued it. The system recorded his violations. And on a cold December Friday in Waco, the piece of paper was nowhere in that room when the door came in.
The gun was.
The gun control crowd says they want women to be safe. Then they spend June trying to disarm the tool that makes women seven to eleven times more likely to survive an attack. Those two positions cannot coexist in good faith.
She did not ask to be a symbol. She just wanted her door to stay closed. When it did not, she handled it.
But what do I know — I am only a combat medic, a science teacher, and the father of daughters who will know how to handle it too.

@danmelsonauthor@BernieSanders IF the numbers from 2016, 2020, and 2024 are correct, there are millions of Retrogressive Democrats who won’t vote for a woman - no matter how much they hate Trump.
@japan_nobunaga Yes they are. Conservative Americans are making a mistake taking them lightly. We are more heavily armed, but they won’t lose any sleep from killing fellow Americans.
@PhilWMagness I wonder why they don’t refute the mistakes they’re being accused of?
So far, the closest I’ve seen is Disingenuous Kuehn saying “That’s not what he meant!”
