If Stephen Craig Paddock wanted to make a name for himself, he certainly accomplished that goal. He is now America’s most deadly mass murderer, topping the Muslim shooter at an Orlando gay nightclub in 2016 who killed 49 persons and wounded 58 in the name of Allah.
Killing 52 people and at last count having injured at least 527, Paddock himself is an enigma. A tempest that no one yet appeared to see brewing. He cannot be consulted because he killed himself just prior to police breaching the suite. The coward’s way out. Emphasizing that there is no defense against a firearm save that of others with firearms.
Paddock decided to, late Sunday night around 10 PM (October 1st), break out two windows in his large 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and fire hundreds of rounds at 22,000 attendees of the Route 91 Harvest Country Music festival below. The shooting went on for about 10 minutes.
He had 23 firearms in his room and 19 more at his home. He checked into the Mandalay Bay on Thursday, September 28th, with more than ten suitcases. He had three days for planning in the suite itself. He clearly planned to target that specific concert from the Mandalay as it had the advantage of superior elevation and the least occluded field of fire, while offering a distance that would be initially confusing. People would expect the Luxor to be the obvious sniper’s perch that night. It wasn’t. Paddock instead chose an expansive corner suite at the Mandalay Bay.
They were easy targets as Paddock utilized some of the classic “positions of advantage” in military combat and special forces tactics, that of elevation, speed, surprise and violence of action. The distance involved was roughly 400 to 500 yards.
Military concepts utilized by a man who was never military-trained.
Theories are wide ranging.
Is this guy even remotely correct? Keep reading.
Paddock had no military record. He had no criminal arrest record save that of a traffic ticket. He was not a member of a militia, hate group or most any other group. His social media was negligible. The 64-year old Paddock was a resident of Mesquite, Nevada and lived in a quiet retirement community. He was a gambler and would take junkets to Las Vegas. He won big and he lost big. He was a multi-millionaire who had property and profited from real estate and investments. He did not have close ties to his family. He was twice-divorced. His live-in girlfriend was not home when the event occurred. He had no mental illness history. He was a retiree. A former aerospace industry worker. A former accountant.
“He was just a guy,” Eric Paddock said of his brother. “He lives in Mesquite, he went to the hotels, he gambled, he went to shows.”
Also, from former FBI hostage negotiator and BSU (Behavioral Science Unit) unit supervisor Cliff Van Zandt.
“My challenge is, I don’t see any of the classic indicators, so far, that would suggest, ‘OK, he’s on the road either to suicide or homicide or both.”
While Stephen Paddock appeared to have no criminal history, his father was a notorious bank robber, Eric Paddock said. Benjamin Hoskins Paddock tried to run down an FBI agent with his car in Las Vegas in 1960 and wound up on the agency’s most wanted list after escaping from a federal prison in Texas in 1968, when Stephen Paddock was a teen.
The oldest of four children, Paddock was 7 when his father was arrested for the robberies.
We know what the initial responses were and will be from the Demorats and Leftists. “It’s all about the guns” they will bleat, using politics even before the bodies began to cool in the streets of Las Vegas. So typical. Hillary Clinton Tweeted “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get,” and “Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.”
Let’s not forget the above. Politics as bodies cooled.

It’s Time to Ban Guns. Yes, All of Them.
by Phoebe Maltz Bovy
Ban guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don’t sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known—as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.
That’s rather succinct. More laws. More bans. Targeted at whom? Oh, right. Law abiding Americans who aren’t involved in actions like this. More laws would not have “prevented” this shooting as Leftists bleat.
And trust me, make absolutely no mistake, gun confiscation and removal is precisely what Leftists and Demorats want as their end goal. Have no doubt of that.
Another high-powered Leftist thinker.
Yet, Stephen Paddock is mostly a cypher as of this writing.
Let’s note this, however.
Why do I get the feeling there is much, much more to this story?
Her marble loss is increasing at, sadly, a geometric rate.
It’s time to drive Pelosi back to the home and allow her to enjoy her dotage.
Watch and listen.
The Demorats know she is an embarrassment. The American Media Maggots know she is an embarrassment. Leftists know she is an embarrassment. Mexicans hate her (listen to this, for example).
My mother-in-law told me, just before she passed away of pancreatic cancer in 2007, that some people are simply on this earth to be an example of what not to do or how not to act.
The young female Hispanic unit portrayed in the below video is a perfect example. I wanted to post the video here so you could see and watch the true nature of most Leftists today and certainly the bulk of the Silkworms** on campus. I think her behavior and her words illustrate my point infinitely better than I ever could.
This is another reason free speech is brilliant. It allows you see the true person behind the vocal cords.
She and other Leftists live in a land where “fuck you” is a legitimate reply to a question and to steal the property belonging to another is valid and where racist remarks are not only justified but mandated when it comes to Caucasoids.
The fact pattern is this. Both are students at the University of California at Riverside. On Thursday, September 28th, Edith “Chata” Macias (chata in Spanish means “boring”), the unit in the video, steals the red MAGA hat from the head of fellow student Matthew Vitale (his Facebook post is here) in a classroom.
Here is the video from the Facebook page of Macias where it clearly shows her stealing the red hat of Vitale.
Macias then runs to the “student life” office in order to “report” the hat. You see the rest.
Macias believed it was mandatory to steal the hat from the head of another student because she disagreed vehemently with the red MAGA item. That this act is illegal — theft — made no difference to her. That he had a right to wear it made no difference to her. That he had property rights made no difference to her. What made all the difference to her was that he was a Caucasoid and by dint of that and the hat, he is inherently racist and evil.
However, the only racist utterings we hear are those of Macias. The only disrespect, lies and foul language we hear and see is attributed to Macias. Frankly, it seems to me that Macias has committed a hate crime well documented on video.
Vitale states he only wants the hat back and what she did was illegal; that is, she stole property belonging to him.
Frankly, I could make an excellent case for the applicability of California section 211 PC, which reads as follows:
Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.
That is completely immaterial to the Hispanic unit. Laws mean nothing to her. The country means little to her. You heard what she said.
“Look at the kind of shit he’s wearing?” she said. “You know what this represents? Genocide.”
The hat-owner began filming the altercation as the hat-taker implored administrators to punish him for wearing it. “This is mine,” he said. “You do not get to take other people’s property that is legally theirs in this country.”
“Man, fuck your laws,” was her reply.
The Hispanic unit began the entire loving event by saying:
“So this guy thought it would be a good idea to go into a conference wearing this fucking hat. Look at the kind of shit he’s wearing, You know what this represents? This represents genocide—genocide of a bunch of people.”
She pauses for a brief moment expecting vindication, a round of applause, an award, a porcelain dalmatian, a certificate of excellence, people to jump out of closets and tackle the guy taking the video and turning him into a puddle of beaten goo?
Yes. She altogether expected the cowering GOWPs behind the counter to instantly side with her and declare his obvious oppression.
Uh oh. Worse yet. They didn’t. Note their reactions throughout the whole mine minute video. It’s what you would expect of GOWPs.
“Your freedom of speech is killing a lot of people out there,” she said.
“Do you have any fucking conscience? Your fucking freedom of speech is genocide, homeboy,” she said.
“I swear to God I could burn this shit. I swear to God I could burn this shit,” she says.
“That’s full of shIt, because you all are just going to, like, mediate this and make it so like we’re all okay here, freedom of speech, whatever,” she says.
The laws of the land from the founding fathers: whatever.
“How about we think about what’s actually going on in this country?” she says.
As in your commission of a crime?
“Fuck your fucking freedom of speech, boy. Fuck it. Fuck it because your freedom of speech is literally killing a lot of people out there. That’s what it is, because you’re out there wearing hats like these that promote laws and legislations that literally kill and murder in the masses people of color,” she says.
Boring Macias accuses Vitale of “micro-aggressions against people of color.”
“Micro-aggressions.” Ripped from the Snowflake handbook. Not one original thought, Boring Macias.
“We need to get rid of all y’all,” she says. White genocide is peachy nifty with her.
“Oh, because ‘you stole my property.’ Y’all stole this land! Your ancestors stole this land, motherfucker,” she says.
We’ll get to that, Boring Macias.
The best yet?
“I fucking hate this country. I hate it, and I’m not leaving. I’m staying here because there’s shit that needs to be fixed here. We need to get rid of all y’all. You’ve got a shitload of privilege, and it shows by you wearing this hat. . .while there’s literally people getting killed out there.”
If you fucking hate this country, Boring Macias, I’ll wager there are thousands and thousands of Americans who feel the same way about you.
Vitale, by the way, said he’s half-Nicaraguan. Immaterial to Boring Macias because he is “white presenting.”
Her final point?
“Oh my God, you’re going to keep letting him wear it?” Macias says. “That just shows how the fucking UCR is and the education system. It’s geared to benefit white people, white people, not me.”
After all, it’s all about her and no else. No one may do anything she doesn’t approve in Chata Land.
I wonder how she would be acting if someone stole a piece of property from her? How would others on campus be reacting?
This is “Panchita’s” little motto she writes on Facebook: “La cara represora de un régimen débil que golpea para generar temor, el que agrede no muestra fuerza, sino miedo a la fuerza del agredido.”
Translated: The repressive face of a weak regime that strikes to generate fear, the one that attacks does not show force, but fear to the force of the aggressor.
One question to the Hispanic bint. Do you know why you speak Spanish instead of Nahuatl? Because Mexico was conquered. By Spain. You are speaking the language of your European conqueror. Spain is this odd country of Caucasoids far, far away. Look it up.
Yet she is being repressed in the United States. Only her.
An aside: Boring Macias begs GoFundMe for $200 on an apartment deposit. Why? You’ll love it.
I attend the University of California, Riverside. I found a place to stay next school year but need help getting enough money to put a down payment on it. I have one week to raise $200 but my mom can’t help and the rest of my family won’t help. My moms rent just went up $100 which makes it harder for her to help me. I had a job when summer started in riverside… But was forced to move to LA with my mom because I was evicted of my home by a racist white bitch. In LA finding a job has been hard for me. I’m going to be looking for other ways to make enough money to pay the down payment… But I thought id take a shot. Thanks you.
She’s the victim. Her mother is the victim. How horrible that the “racist white bitch” likely wanted rent for home. How evil to expect cash for shelter! Corporatist! Money grubber! These things must be provided for free! She has spoken!
Who’s the money grubber? She’s raised $1,067 so far after the video. Before the video, por nada. Are you thinking what I’m thinking. . . ?
On her Facebook post of the video, Macias wrote “You feel safe cuz you got the cops and politicians on your side. Youre not safe… just saying. We need to make racists scared.”
Let me please note that Reason.com thought Vitale, the student whose hat was stolen, was every bit responsible for the incident.
Watch and weep as two students at the University of California-Riverside fight—like children—over a MAGA hat.
These were adult college students. Not preschoolers. Not toddlers. We repeat, adults. One saw something she didn’t like—a hat—and thought the best thing to do was steal it, and tattle to mom and dad (the administration) assuming their obligation to protect her from hats she doesn’t like. His response was to tattle to the entire world— with his phone.
So recording it on the telephone was “tattling to the world.” In a world where the most minute event in which a conservative is involved would itself otherwise, not having been immured on video, resulted in the conservative being nothing but wrong wrong wrong. Even now, with video, elements insist the conservative — worse yet, a Caucasoid — was wrong wrong wrong. And a racist. And everything -ist and -obe.
Again, to be clear, people get to walk around a public university campus wearing whatever hats they want. If this makes you want to set something on fire, you’re in for a rough life.
But if someone takes your MAGA hat because they fell for the trap you set, maybe you don’t have to be such a whiny little snowflake about it.
Wait. “Reason” magazine made the heuristic leap from “you can wear whatever hat you want” to “this was nothing more than a trap for a poor little jejune Leftist Hispanic unit?” and, by dint of that, the actual victim in this case is “whiny”?
Apparently, Reason be damned. On oh-so-numerous levels.
Because Vitale’s summary was this:
“I respect her opinion. She has her opinion…..whatever sources and life experience… that’s okay. I have my opinion. That should be okay too.”
Oppressive! Heinous! Off with his head!
This Hispanic bint doesn’t care about our laws. She hates our country. She hates free speech. Only her thoughts matter. The GOWPs in the student life office offer what GOWPs offer: “let’s talk about this. We want you to feel safe. Let’s mediate. We’re neutral”
“You’re neutral my ass,” she said.
She has no interest in mediating anything. There is only one perspective here: hers. Every other opinion or speaker can go to hell. This is not up for debate. She has spoken. Everyone must accede to her wishes no matter what law is broken or where.
As far as she is concerned, she is inviolate. Untouchable.
She wasn’t born thinking this was. This was first taught to her and then reinforced in a consequence-free United States.
Thankfully, over the past weekend, the video went viral.
Thanks honey. You made all the points I ever needed about the true nature of today’s Leftists who are, at heart and soul, spoiled, petulant children.

P.S.
**Silkworm is a new term I’ve started for what are essentially Snowflakes. “Silk” because they way overvalue their worth and, simultaneously, are expensive to maintain and quite dainty. “Worms” because they are grubby, disgusting and primarily found to have no real purpose save that of, well, no real purpose.
P.P.S.
And while we’re on the topic, here’s a fabulous video of a swarm of loving black individuals deciding that it’s absolutely acceptable and recommended to beat Caucasoid women. Anyone think this might be a group hate crime? Perhaps to the tune of “slam her dumb white ass”?

The Washington Post is aligned with and carries the water for Demorats and Leftists across the nation. Of that there is no doubt. They don’t mind attributing stories to completely anonymous sources which means that, essentially, unless challenged in court, an anonymous source could be no more than an artful but unauthenticated fart at lunch.
That is to say: the Russian narrative is dying. The Demorats are discovering the door they insisted be opened is leading primarily back to themselves.
Embarrassment as Washington Post corrects its ‘scoop’ about Obama, Facebook and Russia
by Brian Flood
The Washington Post has made a correction to an explosive cover story that undermines the entire premise of Monday’s front-page article headlined, “Obama sought to prod Facebook on Russia role.”
The problem, according to a Facebook executive, is that when Obama reached out to the social media giant in 2016 to discuss political disinformation spreading on the site, he didn’t actually call out Russia – essentially making the Post’s headline misleading and inaccurate. Or, as President Trump would call it, “fake news.”
As first reported by Axios, the Post added significant information to the digital version of the story with the disclaimer, “This story has been updated with an additional response from Facebook.” The response from Facebook that didn’t make the paper’s print edition is vital and changed the story enough that the word “Russia” was removed from the updated headline.
The story detailed how then-President Obama gave Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a “wake-up call” regarding fake news spreading on his social media platform. After reporting that Obama “made a personal appeal to Zuckerberg to take the threat of fake news and political disinformation seriously,” the paper has added that Obama “did not single out Russia specifically.”
There might be a problem with that.
Oh but wait; there’s more. And its buttery goodness is both simultaneously salacious and satisfying in terms of, well, schadenfreude.
Leaked Descriptions Of Infamous “Russia Ads” Derail Collusion Narrative “They Showed Support For Clinton”
by Tyler Durden
That was quick.
Less than a week after Facebook agreed to turn over to Congressional investigators copies of the 3,000-odd political advertisements that the company said it had inadvertently sold to a Russia-linked group intent on meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the contents of the ads have – unsurprisingly – leaked, just as we had expected them to.
Congressional investigators shared the information with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, which has repeatedly allowed information about its investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign actively colluded with Russian operatives to leak to the press. Once this happened, we knew it was only a matter of time before the ads became part of the public record.
Uh-oh. Are we about to destroy a narrative? A Leftist narrative?
And, shockingly, descriptions of the ads provided to the Washington Post hardly fit the narrative that Democratic lawmakers have spun in recent weeks, claiming the ads – which didn’t advocate on behalf of a specific candidate, but rather hewed to political issues like abortion rights – were instrumental in securing Trump’s victory.
After initially denying the story this spring, Facebook came clean earlier this month, saying its investigators had discovered that the company sold at least $100,000 worth of ads – and possibly as much as $150,000 – to Russia-linked group that bought the ads through 470 phony Facebook pages and accounts.
WaPo reports that the ads represented issues on both sides of the ideological spectrum, which would suggest that the buyers didn’t intend to support a specific candidate, but rather their own unique agenda.
The batch of more than 3,000 Russian-bought ads that Facebook is preparing to turn over to Congress shows a deep understanding of social divides in American society, with some ads promoting African-American rights groups including Black Lives Matter and others suggesting that these same groups pose a rising political threat, say people familiar with the covert influence campaign.
The Russian campaign — taking advantage of Facebook’s ability to simultaneously send contrary messages to different groups of users based on their political and demographic characteristics – also sought to sow discord among religious groups. Other ads highlighted support for Democrat Hillary Clinton among Muslim women.
Of course, support for Hillary Clinton among minority groups was less enthusiastic than it was for Barack Obama, suggesting that the ads perhaps weren’t as effective as some Democratic lawmakers would have voters believe. Despite the innocuous description, WaPo insisted on reporting that the ads were meant to “sow dischord” among different voting blocs that supported Clinton. The paper of record also reported that the targeted messages “highlight the sophistication of an influence campaign slickly crafted to mimic and infiltrate US political discourse”…again without explaining exactly how they accomplished this.
With little else to cling to, it appears that investigators – not to mention Trump’s critics – have invested so much in the Facebook interference narrative (not to mention Paul Manafort’s dealings with pro-Russian oligarchs), that admitting they were wrong would just be too damaging.
Thank you.
But wait; there’s more buttery political goodness.
Congress might not be able to protect Mueller from firing
by Brian Murphy
WASHINGTON
Congress may be unable to provide any job protection legislatively for special counsel Robert Mueller, whose wide-ranging investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election continues to anger President Donald Trump.
While Trump confidant Roger Stone was defending himself in front of a separate committee elsewhere on Capitol Hill, legal scholars offered competing views on whether two Senate bills designed to protect Mueller from firing by Trump or someone in the Justice Department would pass constitutional muster during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I’ve said this before and I’ll repeat.
The Demorats will rue the day they ever began the “Russia” narrative.
They managed to open a door that led not necessarily to Republicans, but to the arcane, deceptive and corrupt machinations of Demorats themselves.
You and I both know that had Mueller found incredibly-damaging material about Donald Trump or associates showing clear and utter linkage with Russia in terms of, say, cash influence or — better yet, just like the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation — influence and decisions for cash or “donations” you know that leak would already have occurred.
Silence in and of itself can sometimes be a massive clue.
If Stephen Craig Paddock wanted to make a name for himself, he certainly accomplished that goal. He is now America’s most deadly mass murderer, topping the Muslim shooter at an Orlando gay nightclub in 2016 who killed 49 persons and wounded 58 in the name of Allah.
