Two people, a woman and a teenaged girl, were killed and several wounded in a shooting at a high school in St. Louis, Missouri Monday. The gunman was killed by police. The toll could have been worse, a student witness said the shooter’s gun jammed. Another student witness said the shooter was w white man.
Police said the shooter was a male about 20 years old.

The shooting took place around 9 a.m. CDT at the Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, which shares a building with the Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience. Both schools were placed on lockdown but only CVPA was targeted by the gunman. (The school was misidentified in early reports.)

Excerpt from CNN report:

A teen and an adult were killed in a shooting at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School in St. Louis on Monday morning, police Commissioner Michael Sack said.

Police located the shooter, and he was shot during an exchange of gunfire, he said. He was later pronounced as deceased, Sack said. Police previously said the gunman was in custody.

Authorities did not immediately identify the victims or the shooter, but Sack said during a news conference those slain were a woman who was pronounced dead at a hospital and a teen girl who was killed at the scene. The shooter was a man who appeared to be about 20 years old, he said.

Eight victims were transported to an area hospital, the commissioner said.

Wrestling icon Kevin Nash spoke about his son’s untimely death on Monday, revealing that Tristen, 26, died after having a seizure in his bedroom and going into cardiac arrest.

On Thursday, Sean Ross Sapp revealed the sad news that Tristen Nash has died suddenly. The cause of death was not revealed at the time.

“On behalf of Kevin and Tamara Nash, I have to unfortunately report that their son Tristen Nash has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” the statement reads.

“Tristen recently started working on Kevin’s new podcast and the two enjoyed their time together. The Nash family asks if you could please respect their privacy during this time.”

On Monday’s episode of “Kliq This #16: Remembering Tristen,” Kevin Nash discussed his son and podcast co-creator Tristen Nash’s sudden death.

Kevin revealed that his son suffered a seizure that he believed was brought on by a sudden withdrawal from alcohol.

“The seizure caused the cardiac arrest,” Kevin said. “He was basically dead in his room on the floor with the EMT working on him. They got him back and got him in the ambulance and they tried to save his life. So to the people at Halifax hospital, doctors and nurses, I thank you.”

“We both decided that we were going to stop drinking so it was a situation where you know we both went cold turkey. I don’t think either of us felt great because you stop drinking coffee for a day and you get a headache. I think we were both dealing with it.”

More from Wrestlingnews.co:

On what made them decide to stop drinking:

“He had had a couple of incidents. We actually sat up here last Wednesday and in the course of the show, he drank four or five beers unbeknownst to me. I got pissed at him because he had a situation at the beginning of the year where he was hospitalized for almost 60 days.”

Sean Oliver said, “So you guys made the decision on Wednesday after the show (to stop drinking)?”

Nash: “After the show, and a week later, he passes. When you look back at things, it’s like, so he wasn’t feeling good. So we were kind of, my wife and I were just kind of like waiting on him hand and foot. We knew he was trying to do this. One of the things that if you WebMD that, one of the things of cold turkey is that you have an increased risk of having a seizure.”

Nash talking about what the doctor told him when they rushed Tristen to the hospital and they tried to save him:

“He said, ‘Your son’s not going to make it.’ I said, ‘I’m not going to pull his breathing tube out. I won’t do that. That’s not an option. You’re saying that when he had the cardiac arrest, he did damage to his heart, so that’s why we can’t get his bottom number up.’ The bottom ventricle had been damaged to some degree because he didn’t have the ability to push blood. His top number was much higher and even though they medically brought the top number down, he was like 111 over 55. He stopped putting out urine. There were so many things mounting.”

Nash later said, “My son was autistic. My son had Asperger’s. My son was very, very highly educated, very, very high IQ, but my son was autistic on top of all those things.”

What was this?

13 Chinese double agents were charged today with harassing US nationals.
The corrupt DOJ-FBI stole your Monday to announce they indicted 13 Chinese nationals who were threatening US nationals.

Chris Wray, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco spoke during their presser that was delayed nearly a half hour.

Why was this a national press conference?
Why not a press release?
Why are they not interrupting your day to discuss MS13 murdering and threatening Americans?
What about other nationals?
Why do they ignore all of the other previous arrests of Chinese nationals?

And why did the FBI-DOJ not hold a national press conference when Chinese immigrant Eugene Yu who was arrested earlier this month in Michigan in connection with “theft of personal data” of election data.

The alleged stolen data belonged to poll workers and was sent to China.

This company Konnech was the subject of TrueTheVote’s “PIT” in Arizona last August, where Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips singled out the company.

Here is the link to the LA County website.

The theft of data only impacted the election workers, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon.  The LADA seized hard drives and other digital evidence from the Michigan software firm with the assistance of Meridian Township Police in MI.  The LADA is seeking Yu’s extradition to Los Angeles.

Following the CEO’s arrest Fairfax County in Virginia announced they have stopped using Konnech’s PollChief election officer management software.

Why no press conference when Americans had their election information taken and stored in Communist China?

The Senate campaign of recovering stroke victim Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) issued a statement Monday in advance of Tuesday’s debate with Republican Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz downplaying expectations for Fetterman’s performance while offering a ready-made excuse for any failings by the brain-damaged candidate: Human error by closed-caption transcribers that were demanded by Fetterman.

The statement also says, “We’ll admit — this isn’t John’s format … if we’re all being honest, Oz clearly comes into Tuesday night with a huge built-in advantage.”

Recent polls show the race to be a dead heat, however a sketchy CNN poll released Monday gives Fetterman a six point lead over Oz.

What’s powering that CNN poll showing Fetterman at 51%?

At a glance, the 14% of Biden disapprovers backing him. He is winning 97% of Biden approvers.

A warning sign of it as potential outlier is Oz +12 among indies yet down overall. https://t.co/FNCJnwodsO

Debate host WHTM-TV posted a video report showing the closed-captioning system Fetterman will use during the debate, which is set for 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday. Screen images show the twin screens set up behind the moderators to aid Fetterman. It is unclear whether viewers at home will also get to see the captions.

Fetterman campaign statement:

As reporters tune in for the PA Senate debate on October 25th, let’s be clear about this match-up: Dr. Oz has been a professional TV personality for the last two decades.

As The Philadelphia Inquirer’s top political reporters wrote: “Even before his stroke, Fetterman wasn’t great at debates.” We’ll admit – this isn’t John’s format. Look no further than the debates from the primary earlier this year. On the other hand, “Oz is a polished daytime TV host who knows his camera angles and how to craft TV moments.”

John is ready to share his vision for Pennsylvania, defend his record, and make the case against Oz. He’s going to be talking about his real ideas to help real people. But if we’re all being honest, Oz clearly comes into Tuesday night with a huge built-in advantage.

OZ THE FRAUD IS A PROFESSIONAL TV PERFORMER

The TV studios is Oz’s comfort zone. This guy is a media-savvy performer who literally built his career (and fortune) by playing to the cameras as a daytime TV host. He hosted his scammy talk show for 13 seasons, filming over 2,000 episodes where he hawked miracle cures and magic diet pills to prey on hard-working Americans. That’s a lot of practice!

We know that Oz is going to use this debate to try to obscure his own extreme positions – like calling all abortions “murder” – and his litany of disingenuous flip-flops. He’s also going to distract from his own problems by lying about John’s record and launching false attacks on crime, fracking, inflation, taxes… you name it.

Oz will try to play the nice doctor on Tuesday night, but his campaign’s attacks on John’s health have consistently been mean-spirited and cruel. We won’t forget this is the same “doctor” whose campaign has mocked John’s use of closed-captioning technology, joked about him needing bathroom breaks and medical staff nearby, and said he wouldn’t have had a stroke if he ate vegetables. Oz has even been forced to distance himself from his staff and admit that he wouldn’t talk to patients the way his campaign talks about John’s health.

A UNIQUE DEBATE AND WHAT TO EXPECT

This debate is unprecedented – there’s never been a closed-captioned political debate in a high-profile Senate race where one of the candidates is dealing with a lingering auditory processing challenge while recovering from a stroke.

We are prepared for Oz’s allies and right-wing media to circulate malicious viral videos after the debate that try to paint John in a negative light because of awkward pauses, missing some words, and mushing other words together. The captioning process may also lead to time delays and errors in the exchanges between the moderators and the candidates. In fact, because the captions are going to be typed out by human beings in real-time, on live TV, some amount of human error in the transcription is inevitable, which may cause temporary miscommunications at times. It is impossible to control and unavoidable. That’s OK – what matters is that people get to see and hear John’s values.

“John has had a remarkable recovery, but the ongoing auditory processing challenges are real. The campaign insisted on closed captioning technology because it’s necessary. But he’ll be open and upfront about those challenges, just like he has been in interviews and at rallies for the past few months. John knows this will not be easy, but he is showing up because Pennsylvania voters deserve to hear from their candidates for the Senate.

But remember: John did not get where he is by winning debates or being a polished speaker. He got here because he truly connects with Pennsylvanians. That’s how John became the first to defeat a sitting Lt. Governor in a primary in the history of the commonwealth, and then carried all 67 counties on his way to winning the Democratic Senate nomination by 30+ points.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE ELECTION

What will be clear on the debate stage is that Dr. Oz is a lying fraud who has no actual policy solutions and no core values; that he’s a scam artist who’s not even from here but thinks he can buy our Senate seat.

What was true after John won the primary is still true just two weeks before Election Day: John connects with Pennsylvanians from all corners of the commonwealth, has proven he can earn support in both the bluest and the reddest counties, and inspires genuine grassroots enthusiasm. He is a unique candidate with a strong personal brand that transcends partisanship.

That’s what voters are going to see on the debate stage, and it’s why John is going to win this race – even if he doesn’t win the debate.

Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks from the DNC headquarters in Washington, DC.

Biden trashed Trump and the “mega Republicans” ahead of the midterm elections.

“Let’s go back and see what we inherited from Trump and the ‘mega Republicans,’” Biden said.

Then Biden said the quiet part out loud: “Republicans in Congress are still preventing funding we need to stay vigilant ahead of the next virus.”

Next virus?

They aren’t even hiding it anymore.

Furthermore, Biden’s ‘American Rescue Plan’ provided $350 billion to respond to the Covid pandemic and he is still asking for more money.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill are in full meltdown over reports that Hispanic support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is rising.

A recent poll for Telemundo/LX news, conducted by  Mason Dixon Polling and Strategy, reveals DeSantis leading Crist by 51% to 44% statewide among Hispanic voters, with 56% approving of the job the governor is doing.

Cuban-Americans favor DeSantis by 72% over Crist.

Reid and Hill can only think of one reason why this shift to the right is happening.  Racism.

Reid sees racism behind every bush.  When Governor DeSantis warned potential looters to beware because Florida is a Second Amendment state, Reid tweeted that his remarks were a racist threat from a segregationist.  “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”—segregationist Miami sheriff Walter E. Headley, 1967. Didn’t take DeSantis long to return to form.”

Jemele Hill called President Trump and his voters white supremacists.

The two far-left race obsessed pundits went on Twitter tirades attacking the Hispanic community for daring to support a candidate the left has not sanctioned for them.

Fox News Reports:

NBC News reported Friday that Florida Democrats were growing concerned over the Republican politician’s popularity among Latino voters ahead of the midterm elections. In fact, some suggested that DeSantis’ standing with Hispanics could propel him to be the first Republican governor to win Miami-Dade County since Jeb Bush in 2002.

“[Mi Vecino co-founders Alex] Berrios and [Devon] Murphy Anderson said they have held over 2,000 conversations with Hispanic voters in Miami-Dade. Aside from high enthusiasm for DeSantis among Republicans, about 29% of those with no party affiliation and 25% of Democrats said they were voting for DeSantis,” Carmen Sesin wrote.

This wouldn’t surprise me at all. The Proud Boys have all but merged with the Miami Dade Republican Party. Sociopolitically, Florida is basically morphing into Brazil. https://t.co/W7Xk1GPi6y https://t.co/J1BxxTCM4f

The Biden regime is set to warn Americans about the “threats to the nation’s election infrastructure” later this week ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

The intelligence bulletin will lay out details of cyber threats posed by China, Russia, other non-state actors, and potential physical threats to election officials in jurisdictions across the country.

Politico reported:

Top Biden national security officials are tracking multiple threats to the nation’s election security infrastructure ahead of the midterms and are set to issue warnings, including in an internal intelligence bulletin this week, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The bulletin will lay out details of cyber threats posed by China and Russia, as well as other non-state actors, and potential physical threats to election officials in jurisdictions across the country, the people said. The warnings come as the midterm elections near and amid increasing reports of intimidation at ballot drop boxes. The people requested anonymity to talk freely about sensitive national security and election matters.

The Department of Justice is set to address several malign influence schemes and alleged criminal activity by non-state actors in a press conference Monday. It’s unclear if its announcement and the intelligence bulletin warnings are connected.

A British man is the first to get microchipped with his bank card.

40-year-old Arnie Szoke paid £350 to get his bank card surgically implanted in his hand by London-based company Walletmor.

In Sweden, more than 4,000 people have their bank cards linked to microchip implants.

Szoke’s microchipped bank card will have to be replaced after it expires.

The Sun reported:

A DAD is the first Brit to get microchipped with a bank card implant — letting him pay with just his hand.

Arnie Szoke, 40, forked out £350 to have the op in Germany.

The NHS healthcare assistant said cashiers and other shoppers have been stunned.

He added: “People ask how I can pay with my hand.

“The implant looks cool, but my wife would never have one.”

The chip uses contactless card technology, with ­magnetic fields transferring data to readers.

Surgeons open a pocket in the side of the hand for the safety pin-sized chip — just half a millimetre thick — then stitch it up within five minutes.

Father-of-two Arnie said: “Using the chip takes a bit of learning.

“It’s like a ­normal card but you have to be more precise with where you tap.

“It means I don’t have to keep a wallet with me all the time.

Walletmor is rolling out a microchip that can be implanted in the hand and will work with a digital wallet for contactless payments.

The tech company said the microchip will work with the “Purewrist” app and the implant procedure takes only 4 minutes.

The implant is now available to the public for $299.

Last week on an episode of TimCast IRL, Tim Pool sat down with Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate, retired Army Colonel and Pennsylvania senator Doug Mastriano.  Mastriano claimed that his opponent refuses to debate him.  His opponent, of course, is Josh Shapiro, the current AG of Pennsylvania who fought to block an investigation into election fraud and claimed before the 2020 election “if all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose.”

During the podcast in which Pool revealed Mastriano was “sitting down with us with no idea what we were going to talk about,” it is brought up that Timcast has had Kari Lake on as well in the same format.  Lake’s opponent, Katie Hobbs, also refuses to debate her.  Mastriano states:

“[democrats are] not debating in Arizona (referring to Hobbs v Lake)…not debating in Maryland, right here, Dan Cox…he’s a good friend.  He’s going to be a great governor here and his opponents not debating him either.”

I’d notably add that MI Attorney General Dana Nessel refuses to debate Trump endorsed Matthew DePerno in a crucial race in the swing state as Nessel is getting booed at events in districts that were allegedly won handedly by Biden in 2020.

Pool accurately states the reason they won’t debate is because “honestly, the truth will hurt their campaigns.  They need to keep people in a tight space where there is a controlled narrative”.

In Pennsylvania, the only statewide race that will see a debate is John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate.  That debate will take place Tuesday evening, but is considered partially irrelevant because voting has already been going on for weeks in Pennsylvania.

Fetterman has been under a lot of scrutiny lately for his apparent inability to function properly after his unfortunate stroke.  Even MSNBC called out the candidate, who had to have a closed caption system for his interview:

“[Fetterman] has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing…he still has some problems, some challenges with speech…Just in some of the small talk prior to the interview, before the closed-captioning was up and running, it did seem that he had a hard time understanding our conversations.”

While it is inhumane to attack someone personally over a medical episode such as a stroke, it must be acknowledged that he is physically and mentally incapable of being a direct representative of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate.  That is not a disparaging attack on his tragic circumstance but rather an accurate, honest and necessary observation of his inadequacies to perform such a duty.

In Arizona, Katie Hobbs was pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash as to why she won’t debate Kari Lake.  Bash mentions a left-leaning Arizona publication that says if Hobbs loses, it will be because she ran from Lake:

Hobbs responded with a seemingly pre-fabricated statement saying:

“Look, Kari Lake has made it clear time and time again that she is not interested in having substantive in-depth conversations about the issues that matter to Arizonans.  She only wants a scenario where she can control the dialogue.  And she’s refused to sit down in a one on one lengthy conversation to really clarify with Arizonans where she is on the issues.  She is the one who is afraid of talking to voters where she is at.“

Despite the fact that a debate is not “lengthy”, “one on one” nor “in-depth” as candidates typically have just a couple minutes to respond, it is also incredibly ironic and pure disinformation (don’t expect CNN to fact check her though).  And it should also be quite embarrassing for Katie Hobbs as Kari Lake launched an “Ask Me Anything” tour after Hobbs refused to debate her.  This gave Lake the opportunity to take questions from audience members, since her opponent refuses to do so.  Everything Hobbs said in the above statement is factually inaccurate and a closer representation of her own campaign.

Lake also tried to have a “substantive in-depth conversation about the issues” at a townhall two weeks ago.  Instead, Hobbs was terrified to see Lake sitting in the audience and then the twice convicted racist proceeded to stutter “um” or “uh” 35 times and pander by saying she’s learned “español…un pequito”.  The host calls her out for it:

Um… seriously, Katie? pic.twitter.com/srvhrfx6iS

— Kari Lake (@KariLake) October 9, 2022

Meanwhile, Katie Hobbs did an interview with PBS Arizona, in place of the debate, at the ASU Cronkite building, which was put on lockdown because “we do not know what the onsite circumstances may be around the Cronkite building after 3 p.m.”  On the contrary, I attended a panel discussion featuring Kari Lake back in August in Phoenix and didn’t even have to walk through a metal detector, none the less a locked down campus.  What is Hobbs afraid of on the ASU campus?

This trend is disturbing as debates have been a highlight of the election season since the first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon.  It is the best and most true indicator to the People as to where their candidates stand on a particular topic.

But this year, something unprecedented is occurring as statewide and federal candidates are refusing to debate “America First” candidates in wide spread numbers.  One can only assume that this refusal to debate is because they clearly do not have anything of substance to run on.  Poll numbers show their positions are wildly unpopular, whether its election integrity, the economy, critical race theory or sexual indoctrination in schools, the incessant funding of the Ukraine war while Americans struggle with record breaking gas prices, or a slew of other topics that Democrats are out of touch with in relation to their constituency.

The Mockingbird Media, however, is already setting the narrative for a red-wave crushing democrat surge in the 2022 midterms.
