TN Bureau of Investigation Won’t Confirm Purported Leak of Covenant School Shooter’s Journal Sneering at Victims’ ‘White Privilege’

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) would not confirm that the purported leaked pages from the Nashville shooter’s manifesto were real during a Monday morning phone call.

Breitbart News spoke with TBI communications director Josh Devine, asking him if TBI could confirm the pages were real.

Devine said, “We cannot. We are offering no such confirmation on that.”

We followed with one more question, asking, “Has TBI looked at it and said, ‘We can’t confirm this,’ or is TBI not even going to look at it?”

Devine responded, “We’re aware of the images, yes, but we’re not offering confirmation on their authenticity.”

The images of the purported leaked pages in question were posted to X/Twitter by Steven Crowder and included statements, attributed to Hale, about killing “crackers” with “white privlages [sic].”
...
Several local outlets have corroborated the images published by Crowder. News Channel 5’s Phil Williams attacked the report, calling it a “selective leak of three pages.” The Tennessee Star, owned by former Breitbart contributor Michael Patrick Leahy, says it independently confirmed the images via “[s]sources in the Tennessee General Assembly who were allowed to view the Covenant Killer Manifesto by the Metro Nashville Police Department.”

D.C. Establishment Exploits War, Terror in Effort to Take Down Netanyahu

Writers and publications within the Beltway appear to have decided that now is the time to push Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu out of office — a goal long cherished by both the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations in Washington, DC.

Foreign Affairs was first out of the gate, with three left-of-center Israeli writers writing that Netanyahu must be ousted — not because of his handling of the war, but because, in their view, a “two-state solution” must follow the war, and he cannot deliver it.

(One of the authors is a former chief of staff for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who was the mastermind behind many of the protests that wracked Israel and divided the Israeli people in the nine months prior to the October 7 attack.)

There may be no Israeli leader, right or left, who is willing or able to “deliver” a “two-state solution” after a terror attack in which the governing power in a neighboring Palestinian entity — and some of its civilians — murdered 1,400 people in cold blood.

Notably, the “two-state solution” does not appear to be as important to regional Arab leaders as it is to career diplomats and pundits. Saudi Arabia even appeared to drop the idea as a condition for peace, in the hopeful weeks before the Hamas attack.

Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal piled on over the weekend. Though typically enamored of elder statesmen, Noonan wrote that Netanyahu had to resign because — in her view — he should not have invaded Gaza, but rather turned the other cheek.

So according to Miss Piggy, Israel should have let Hamas  kill a lot more Jews than it did on October 6th. That's totally outrageous indeed!

Donald Trump Bashes Scottish Windmills in New York Trial: ‘I’m Not a Windmill Person’

Former President Donald Trump blasted Scottish windmills while on the stand on Monday in his New York civil fraud case accusing him of overvaluing his properties, including his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, which sparked the tirade.

The topic came up as the prosecution was questioning Trump on the value of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Kevin Wallace, a lawyer for the New York Attorney General’s office, asked Trump if he had permission for a residential village.

Trump responded, “Yes, it’s the oil capital of Europe.”

That response prompted a rebuke from New York County Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron who called Trump’s response, “Irrelevant.”

According to a Politico reporter in the courtroom, Trump retorted softly, “It is.”

But Trump had an opportunity to rant against the windmills on the property after Wallace asked about them.

“I was not happy,” he said, saying that Scotland built them, not him.

“I’m not a windmill person. And I think I’ve been proven to be right,” Trump continued. “We were fighting the windmills.”

Oversight Committee: Joe Biden Refuses to Provide Loan Agreements with Brother

The president’s refusal to provide the committee with any evidence to support the White House’s previous claim that the $240,000 in checks were “loan repayments” indicates Joe Biden is not “the most transparent administration in history,” as he alleged after assuming office.

“The White House today made clear to us that President Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents for any ‘loans’ he provided to his brother, James Biden,” the committee posted Friday on X.

“We’ve exposed nearly a quarter of a million of dollars that James Biden sent to Joe Biden as ‘loan repayments’ that were funded by laundered China money and influence peddling schemes,” it added. “Is this what ‘the most transparent administration in history’ is supposed to look like?”

Joe Biden received $40,000 in “laundered” CEFC China Energy Co. money in 2017 from the account of his brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check labeled as a “loan repayment,” according to the committee.

The $40,000 alleged “loan repayment” follows an October 20 disclosure by the committee that Joe Biden received a $200,000 check from James Biden in 2018 — also noted as a loan repayment.

The revelation is the second instance where Joe Biden accepted a personal check from his brother James Biden, a key member of the family business.

Terrorist Rocket Launchers Found in Boy Scout Center, Mosque in Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed Monday that it had found more terrorist rocket launchers in extremely sensitive civilian settings in Gaza — including a Boy Scout youth center, and a mosque.
...
During activity by a team of soldiers of the 460th Brigade to locate terrorist infrastructure and clear the area, rocket launch pits found by the soldiers in a mosque were destroyed.

In addition, during several activities in the past day, the soldiers found over 50 rockets ready to be launched into Israel from inside a youth movement compound in Northern Gaza.

On Sunday, the IDF released photographs of rocket launchers based in a children’s playground. The goal of the terrorists in using such sites is to dissuade Israel from attacking them — or to reap the public relations benefit if Israel does attack and kill civilians.

Both the deliberate targeting of civilians, and the deliberate use of civilians as human shields in doing so, are war crimes.

China Inks 27-Year Fossil Fuel Deal with Qatar

Qatar’s state-owned QatarEnergy corporation announced a massive deal this weekend with the Chinese regime-owned company Sinopec to provide Beijing with 3 million tons of liquified natural gas (LNG) a year for the next 27 years – and a stake in Qatar’s North Field South (NFS) gas project.

The agreement follows a similar, but smaller, deal signed in April that gave the Chinese fossil fuel giant control of a 1.25-percent stake North Field East (NFE), a sprawling natural gas field also currently in development. China also has a concurrent 27-year agreement with Qatar currently in vigor which provides the regime with four million tonnes of LNG annually, beginning in 2022.

QatarEnergy celebrated the new agreement on Sunday as a “testament to the excellent bilaterial relations” Qatar, an Islamist theocracy, enjoys with communist China. The CEO of QatarEnergy and Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, claiming expanding Qatar’s dealings in LNG, a fossil fuel, helped the world move along on the “road to a realistic energy transition” away from fossil fuels and highlighted the corporation’s belief that “the energy transition is one of the most pressing challenges of our time.”

The expansion of the North Field natural gas projects is believed to contain “the world’s biggest natural gas reserves and extends under the Gulf into Iranian territory,” the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported on Sunday.

Qatar is home to one of the world’s largest LNG reserves and is one of the world’s most prolific exporters of the fossil fuel. While China is the world’s second-largest economy and a manufacturing powerhouse, it lacks significant reserves of natural gas, coal, or crude oil, forcing it to rely on allied states.

‘Hamas Refused to Cooperate’: Egypt Shuts Gaza Border After Agreeing to Free Foreigners

Multiple news outlets, citing sources on the ground, reported on Monday, November 6, that the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Hamas-controlled Gaza was closed despite an agreement brokered last week to let those with foreign passports and injured Palestinians through.

As of Monday afternoon local time, the Egyptian government claimed the border was open only for Egyptian and other foreign nationals, according to Reuters.

“The authority’s statement added that those who were not listed won’t be able to cross the border as per notification from the Egyptian authorities,” Reuters added.

The Rafah border crossing is the only crossing between Gaza, governed by the genocidal jihadist terror organization Hamas, and the outside world, connecting to Egypt. In the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas massacre of over 1,400 civilians in Israel, the Egyptian government has repeatedly, and enthusiastically, rejected proposals to take in Palestinian refugees fleeing Hamas.

“We are prepared to sacrifice millions of lives to ensure that no one encroaches upon our territory,” Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said last week, referring to the possibility of taking in Palestinians. Egyptian strongman Abdel Fattah al-Sisi suggested forcing Palestinian civilians into Israel’s Negev Desert instead of allowing them to flee.

Egypt nonetheless agreed to a deal that let hundreds of foreigners, and a handful of injured Palestinians, through the border on November 1. The White House confirmed last week that about 300 Americans managed to leave Gaza while the border was open.

UNRWA Staff Praised Hamas Terror Attack of October 7; Biden Restored Funding in 2021

U.S. President Donald Trump ended funding to the agency in 2018 over concern that it supported terrorism. But President Joe Biden restored the funding. The U.S. is the single largest donor to the agency, which is separate from other UN refugee agencies.

A report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), a non-governmental organization (NGO), says that UNRWA played a role in promoting and celebrating the deadly October 7 terror attack:

The first section of the report details how 13 UNRWA staff members have publicly praised, celebrated or expressed their support for the unprecedented deadly assaults on civilians on 7 October. In the short time since the horrific massacre of around 1,400 Israelis, mainly civilians, IMPACT-se has used open source material to analyze the social media activity of UNRWA staff and schools. This analysis has also uncovered how an UNRWA school in the West Bank city of Nablus held a rally for its students, during which a young boy supplicates God to support the Jihad warriors in Gaza against Israel, to which the students respond with affirmation.

The second section of the study documents the profiles of 18 Hamas terrorists who graduated from UNRWA schools, using material from the Hamas website which confirms that they died carrying out acts of terror. This research indicates that by Hamas’ own admission more than 100 UNRWA graduates have become active Hamas terrorists.

The third and final section of the report highlights select examples of educational material distributed to students in UNRWA schools, which either harness antisemitism or encourage martyrdom or violent jihad. This section also includes examples from Palestinian Authority teacher guides that accompany the textbooks used in UNRWA schools. These examples include geography and history resources, language comprehension exercises, science and math problems. An unmistakable strand of hatred and incitement traverses these diverse teaching materials.
