<a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/tennessee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee</a> Governor <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/bill-lee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Lee</a> addressed the state on Tuesday evening after six individuals were killed in the massacre at The Covenant School in <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nashville</a>.
A 28-year-old woman who identified as a man killed three 9-year-old children and three adults at the elementary school, a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church, on Monday morning. Police officers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nashville-christian-school-shooter-identified-as-transgender-authorities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that the shooter, whom The Daily Wire will not name in accordance with company policy, executed a “targeted attack” on the school and had written a “manifesto.”
Lee said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/govbilllee/status/1640856701078237187?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> address posted to social media that the state is grieving along with the parents and family members of the victims. “Some parents woke up without children,” he said. “Children woke up without parents, without teachers. Spouses woke up without their loved ones.”
Lee revealed that his own wife, Maria, was scheduled to have dinner on Monday evening with one of the victims, Cynthia Peak, who had worked at The Covenant School as a substitute teacher and was a lifelong friend of the first lady.
“Six innocent lives. Three of them were children. We’re enduring a very difficult moment. I understand there is pain, I understand the desperation to have answers, to place blame, to argue about a solution that could prevent this horrible tragedy,” Lee continued. “But this is not a time for hate or rage. That will not resolve or heal.”
Lee also praised the efforts of Rex Engelbert and Michael Collazo, officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department who fired the fatal shots on the school shooter, and said he had the opportunity to speak with them. “While we saw the worst of humanity, we also saw the best of humanity: in the police officers who ran into danger directly toward a killer with no regard for their own lives,” he remarked. “Gratitude does not begin to cover it, for the utter selflessness of putting their lives between the killer and the innocent.”
The three students killed in the shooting were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs, the daughter of Covenant Presbyterian Church senior minister Chad Scruggs. In addition to Cynthia Peak, Dr. Katherine Koonce, the school’s 60-year-old principal, was also killed, as was 61-year-old school custodian Mike Hill.
Lee called on the state to pray for the families of the victims and for Covenant Presbyterian Church, as well as the officers and the family of the shooter. “Prayer is the first thing we should do, but it is not the only thing,” the official said. “There will be a time to talk about the legislation and budget proposals we have brought forward this year. And clearly, there is more work to do.”
“There is hope in the midst of great tragedy because God is a Redeemer. What is meant for evil can be turned for good. May we grieve in the days ahead, but not without hope. May we also act with wisdom, discernment, and grace. And may we love, especially those who have lost.”
The Covenant School said on its <a href="https://www.thecovenantschool.com/welcome/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> that it exists to help children “become who God intends them to be” and learn “timeless Truth” throughout their educational experience. “Our graduates attend the finest schools in the Nashville area, where they not only excel academically, but also act with character that comes from authentic faith in Jesus.”

The California legislature may prevent K-12 schools from suspending or expelling students who are drunk or high, or in possession of illicit drugs or alcohol.
The proposed ban is outlined in <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB599&amp;showamends=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assembly Bill 599</a>, from Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward. The Education Committee approved AB 599 last week unanimously; it now heads to the Appropriations Committee. 
The bill argued that students shouldn’t be expelled or suspended for being drunk or high because “high feelings of school connectedness can decrease drug use” — indicating that students should remain in that school environment, rather than being forced out, in order to prevent further drug or alcohol use. 
Ward characterized this ban as a “public health approach” in the bill language.
The bill would also require the California Department of Education to create a model policy by July 1, 2025 for addressing students in possession of and using illicit drugs on school property. A similar policymaking requirement would be imposed on local educational agencies, who would also have to provide resources for education, treatment, or support for substance abuse. 
Ward also replaced language in the bill referring to “he” or “she” with gender-neutral terms, like “the principal” or “the superintendent.” 
The California State Assembly advanced AB 599 out of the Education Committee last week. At the committee hearing, Ward stated that suspensions and expulsions for substance abuse played a role in reinforcing the school-to-prison pipeline. Ward further commented that his bill would result in a “more humane” approach to handling problematic students. 
Democratic Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, chair of the Education Committee and a former school board member, asked how to measure the effectiveness of zero-tolerance policies on drugs and alcohol in schools. 
Nora Lynn — the associate director of a public policy organization that co-authored the bill, Children Now — didn’t offer specific measurement criteria but claimed that the results of a zero-tolerance policy impact outweighed deterrence.
“We would just point to the very strongly disproportionate impacts on youth of color, young boys of color, and we feel like that far outweighs whatever deterrence there may be,” said Lynn. 
Muratsuchi challenged Lynn’s response, noting that she hadn’t provided any measurement criteria. Ward then stated that comparative data to prove his bill’s effectiveness would be available following the bill’s implementation. It appeared that Ward’s answer didn’t satisfy Muratsuchi.
“I would appreciate that our policy decisions be data-driven rather than based on impressions or anecdotes,” said Muratsuchi.

Lynn had also argued that suspensions and expulsions weren’t the appropriate response for drug infractions.
“This practice ostracizes students, reduces school connectedness, and increases the likelihood of drug use among disconnected students,” said Lynn.
Several other organizations co-authored the bill: the California Alliance of Child and Family Services (CACFS), California Youth Empowerment Network (CAYEN), and California Academy of Child &amp; Adolescent Psychiatry (CALACAP).
CAYEN representative Danny Thirakul argued that minors’ “lived experiences” should dictate policy, and that punitive measures for alcohol or drug use was dangerous. Thirakul further argued that the response should be to have mental health professionals try and understand why the youth are using the substances.
“[Youth] want opportunities to safely evaluate their behaviors and make positive changes for themselves rather than being criminalized in a world where youth are experiencing a well-documented mental health crisis and opioid crisis,” said Thirakul.

Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/merrick-garland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merrick Garland</a> shared on Tuesday his expectations for when a report from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/durham-loses-but-lays-bare-fbi-corruption-in-russia-collusion-trials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Durham</a>&#8216;s special counsel investigation will be completed, and it doesn&#8217;t appear to be that far off in the future.
The rare update on Durham&#8217;s inquiry into potential misconduct in the Trump-Russia probe came during <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?526940-1/attorney-general-testifies-presidents-2024-budget-request" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testimony before</a> a Senate committee. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Garland about why former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jury-clears-former-clinton-attorney-michael-sussmann-of-lying-to-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Sussmann</a>, who was found not guilty of lying to the FBI in a blow to Durham&#8217;s investigation, <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/legacy_files/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/HJC_STAFF_FBI_REPORT.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apparently had a badge</a> to <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/19/how-fbi-bigwig-aided-and-abetted-hillary-clinton-plot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get into</a> the bureau&#8217;s headquarters in the run-up to the 2016 election.
&#8220;On the particular question about Sussman, I think we’re going to have to wait until Mr. Durham finishes his report, which should be relatively soon,&#8221; Garland said.
“I certainly don’t in any way want to interfere with him,&#8221; Garland continued. &#8220;And he’s the one who would know the answer to that. On the more general question, I can certainly ask my team to look into how lawyers have special badges.&#8221;
Durham has been working on this investigation for nearly four years, dating back to the Trump administration. Though Durham <a href="https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/u-s-attorney-for-connecticut-john-durham-resigns/2432294/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned as U.S. attorney</a> after President Joe Biden took office, Garland allowed his special counsel probe to continue. Garland <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/27/politics/durham-garland/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified to Congress in October 2021</a> that he hopes to make &#8220;as much as possible&#8221; of Durham&#8217;s report public, but not that he has &#8220;to be concerned about Privacy Act concerns and classification.&#8221;
The investigation has been cheered by former President Donald Trump and his allies while Democrats and others have criticized it as a politically tainted endeavor meant to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller and top officials from the FBI. Democrats have even begun to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/raskin-calls-for-weaponization-inquiry-into-durham-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">call for investigations</a> into Durham&#8217;s endeavor.
Durham has secured one guilty plea: that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who was accused of falsifying a document in efforts to renew the authority to conduct FISA surveillance on onetime Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. Clinesmith was spared prison time and faced a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fbi-lawyer-clinesmith-one-year-bar-suspension-guilty-plea-fisa-deception" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one-year bar suspension</a>.
Last year, Durham endured setbacks when prosecutions against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jury-clears-former-clinton-attorney-michael-sussmann-of-lying-to-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sussmann</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/igor-danchenko-source-of-steele-dossier-acquitted-in-blow-to-durham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Igor Danchenko</a>, a key source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele&#8217;s anti-Trump dossier, ended in acquittal in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, respectively.
The last public update on the investigation provided by the Department of Justice came in December, just before Christmas, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-shares-update-on-john-durham-probe-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in the form of a financial disclosure</a>.

Podcast giant Joe Rogan mocked mainstream news organizations during a broadcast of his show this week for ignoring the biggest stories happening in the world today.
Rogan made the <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/joe-rogan-blasts-media-for-conveniently-ignoring-major-stories-instead-continuing-to-push-january-6th-coverage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> Tuesday on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; while speaking to physician Peter Attia.
“The media has lost its hold over the narrative,” Rogan declared. “Now, the media conveniently leaves out anything that it doesn’t want to be at the front and center — in terms of things that people concentrate on and talk about.”
“Like one of the greatest examples that’s happening right now is this massive protest in France. Massive protest in France. Nine million people on the street, literally up in arms,” Rogan said. “Macron in France. Takes his f***ing $80,000 watch off under the table while he’s talking to people about tightening up and about how you know this has to be done.”
“All it is, is like ‘January 6th. January 6th. Did you see what they did? — Trump is coming back, but January 6th looms large,&#8217;” Rogan said in mocking the news covered by mainstream organizations. “How about the fact that the guy who’s the president right now can’t form a f***ing sentence. He makes up words and stumbles through things and no one says a g*****n thing about it.&#8221;

Rogan railed against far-left woke initiatives last week that he warned were really shams that political elites use to force people to submit to their ideological wills.
“Look at what they try to do, look at what people try to do to stop criticism on Twitter, they f***ing send the FBI to Twitter to try to remove people from Twitter because they’re saying things that interferes with the way they govern,” Rogan said. “All that s*** is natural and the Founding Fathers were the only people that put together a system to mitigate that.”
“Over time these f***ing c****, these corrupt s***heads have done an amazing job of trying to chip away at that or convince people it should be chipped away at, and convince people that ‘freedom is not important, what’s important is equity and inclusiveness and diversity,’” he continued. “No no no that is a sheep costume the wolf wears, and the wolf is control, the wolf is control over people and forcing people to bend to your ideological will, whether it’s the will of the people on the right or the will of people on the left. That’s the form that it comes in, it comes in the form of ‘equity and inclusiveness.’”

It appears that President Joe Biden has outdone himself — and not in a good way.
Just after the ink dried on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dont-let-bidens-all-time-offensive-response-to-the-nashville-shooting-get-buried" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this author&#8217;s last column</a> about President Biden&#8217;s offensive response to the Nashville school shooting, he outdid himself by reaching a new low: Joking about whether or not <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/josh-hawley-calls-for-federal-hate-crime-investigation-into-shooting-at-nashville-christian-school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christians were targeted by the shooter</a>.
Tuesday afternoon, Biden stopped by to chat with the press reporters outside the White House and was asked whether or not he agreed with Senator Josh Hawley&#8217;s (R-MO) assessment that the shooting was specifically aimed at Christians.
&#8220;Mr. President, do you believe that Christians were targeted in the Nashville school shooting?&#8221; a reporter asked.
&#8220;I have no idea,&#8221; he answered.
&#8220;Josh Hawley believes they were. What do you say to that?&#8221; a journalist asked.
&#8220;Well, I probably don’t then,&#8221; Biden said with a chuckle, perhaps expecting a laugh from his typically subservient media. &#8220;No, I’m joking. No, I have no idea,&#8221; he followed up.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Keep in mind this is the same guy that legacy media has been claiming is Mr. Empathy himself. Just last month, the Associated Press ran a story <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-politics-united-states-government-steve-ricchetti-alabama-26b87b21b459c8a707e45a91d884cd74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headlined</a> &#8220;Biden’s Empathy Shapes Policy, But Some Voters Don’t Feel It.&#8221;
Well, perhaps &#8220;some voters don&#8217;t feel it&#8221; because the empathy is, in fact, lacking – particularly in Biden&#8217;s repeatedly callous responses to the tragic shooting that took place on Monday.

Levi’s announced it will start using AI-generated fashion models in an effort to increase &#8220;diversity&#8221; for online shoppers of the denim company&#8217;s clothing.
The company recently shared news of its partnership with Lalaland.ai, a digital fashion studio that creates what it calls artificial intelligence to make realistic models, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/27/23658385/levis-ai-generated-clothing-model-diversity-denim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Verge</a> reported.
Amy Gershkoff Bolles, global head of digital and emerging technology strategy at Levi Strauss &amp; Co said the models will not replace human models and will instead, &#8220;supplement&#8221; them to create a more &#8220;personal&#8221; online shopping experience.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;While AI will likely never fully replace human models for us, we are excited for the potential capabilities this may afford us for the consumer experience,&#8221; Bolles said.
The company also said in a press release that it doesn’t see the AI-generated clothing models as a &#8220;sole solution&#8221; to promoting equity, inclusion, and diversity.
By the iconic denim company using the AI technology, it could be a way for shoppers to make the models customizable, allowing them to change the ages, body types, skin tones and more for shoppers who want to see the clothing on bodies that resemble their own, the outlet noted.
&#8220;This AI technology can potentially assist us by supplementing models and unlocking a future where we can enable customers to see our products on more models that look like themselves, creating a more personal and inclusive shopping experience,&#8221; the company&#8217;s announcement said, <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2023/03/levis-ai-models-diversity.html?utm_source=tw&amp;utm_medium=s1&amp;utm_campaign=nym" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cut</a> noted.
Levi Strauss &amp; Co., over the last few years, has had large layoffs to deal with cutting costs to save money, the outlet noted. In 2020, 700 roles were cut from the company, followed by a layoff of some 800 additional workers last year.
The cuts have allowed the company to save some $100 million per year, the New York Magazine <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2023/03/levis-ai-models-diversity.html?utm_source=tw&amp;utm_medium=s1&amp;utm_campaign=nym" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

The news about the company using AI models has started a bit of a backlash online, with some claiming all the company needed to do to improve diversity was hire models of different races and body types, <a href="https://adage.com/article/marketing-news-strategy/levis-uses-ai-models-increase-diversity-incites-backlash/2482046?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_term=adage&amp;utm_content=98586e5c-fb98-4f0e-9e8a-16f645311645" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AdAge.com</a> noted.

A far-left transgender organization faced backlash on Tuesday after releasing a highly controversial statement over Monday&#8217;s tragic shooting in Nashville in which a transgender person killed six people, including three young children, at a Christian school.
The Trans Resistance Network (TRN) <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1640746882640011264">said</a> that they expressed their &#8220;deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers&#8221; to the families of those impacted by the shooting.
The group then claimed that the killer felt they &#8220;had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out by taking the life of others, and by consequence,&#8221; themselves. Later in the statement the group said, &#8220;Hate has consequences.&#8221;
The group admitted that they did not know the individual or have &#8220;access to their inner thoughts and feelings&#8221; but claimed that being transgender is hard because of &#8220;anti-trans legislation, and public callouts by Right Wing personalities and political figures.&#8221;
The group demanded that news organizations &#8220;respect the self-identified pronouns of transgender individuals who come across your desk.&#8221;
After facing considerable backlash on social media, the group locked its Twitter account so that people could not access its statement.
The news comes as Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake told reporters on Tuesday that the 28-year-old killer was receiving care for an “emotional disorder.”

The shooter legally purchased seven guns from five different stores, according to police.

The shooter was reportedly hiding the weapons in her parents’ home.

Trans Group Issues Controversial Statement After Trans Killer Targets Christian School

Transgender

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz">Sen. Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) slammed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a hearing on Tuesday over the Biden administration&#8217;s ongoing crisis on the U.S. southern border.
Cruz went to work on Mayorkas after getting him to admit that the U.S. saw its lowest level of encounters on the southern border in 2020.
“Let&#8217;s look at CBP encounters &#8230; it drops to the lowest level. Then boom, what happens? You show up!&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And that red line is you! That red line is Joe Biden! And you&#8217;re claiming nothing happened, oh gosh, this was here before us. No! You made the decision to allow this!”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cruz also got Mayorkas to admit that he had no idea how many migrants have died trying to get through the southern border in 2022.
“Of course you don’t! I know how many died, 853!&#8221; Cruz fired back. &#8220;You go back to 1998, you see it&#8217;s consistently between 300 to 400… Suddenly 2021. What happens? You get in office!”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cruz later enraged Mayorkas after demanding that Mayorkas resign from his job over how poorly the Biden administration has handled the crisis.
&#8220;Mr. Secretary, I want to say to you right now, your behavior is disgraceful. And the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped, they are at your feet,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And if you had integrity, you would resign.&#8221;
&#8220;The men and women of the Border Patrol, they&#8217;ve never had a political leader undermine them,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you&#8217;re willing to let children be raped to follow political orders. This is a crisis. It&#8217;s a disgrace. And you won&#8217;t even admit this human tragedy as it is crisis.&#8221;

Mayorkas responded by saying he would not &#8220;address&#8221; Cruz&#8217;s remarks because he found them to be &#8220;revolting.&#8221;
“Your refusal to do your job is revolting!” Cruz fired back.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Another highlight from the hearing showed Mayorkas repeatedly dodging Cruz&#8217;s question of whether there was a crisis at the southern border.
“1 word. 1 syllable. 3 letters,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;That&#8217;s how someone answers a question &amp; does their job. You&#8217;re being a politician misleading the American people.”

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders said Tuesday that state officials plan to file three separate lawsuits against TikTok and Facebook and Instagram owner Meta, accusing the social media giants of pushing addictive and damaging content on children.
The governor&#8217;s office said the lawsuits would fall under the state&#8217;s Deceptive Trade Practices Act, prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.
&#8220;We have to hold Big Tech companies accountable for pushing addictive platforms on our kids and exposing them to a world of inappropriate, damaging content,&#8221; Sanders said in a statement to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/arkansas-sues-social-media-giants-addictive-effect-kids-rewiring-how-our-children-think?intcmp=tw_fnc">Fox News Digital</a>. &#8220;Arkansas is leading the charge on filing three lawsuits against TikTok and Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram.&#8221;
The governor&#8217;s office said the legal actions come after a decade of watching social media companies evade government oversight while exploiting children for profit, pledging her administration would not tolerate &#8220;the failed status quo.&#8221; Sanders further accused Meta of putting the company&#8217;s growth &#8220;at all costs&#8221; before the well-being of children.
One lawsuit has already been filed against Meta for &#8220;targeting young users of its products to the detriment of their mental and physical health,&#8221; Fox News reported.
Meta is &#8220;rewiring how our children think, feel and behave.&#8221; Sanders&#8217; office said, adding the company allegedly publicly misled consumers about the addictive nature of its products.
&#8220;The youth of Arkansas are the direct victims of Meta&#8217;s actions, and Meta should be held accountable.&#8221; Sanders&#8217; office said.
State officials have also filed two separate lawsuits against ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, which has faced ongoing criticism in the United States for allegedly threatening national security. The app has been accused of driving narratives that divide Americans against each other.
According to the one lawsuit reported by Fox News, it pertains to the &#8220;abundance of posts dealing with mature themes, nudity and drugs viewed by minors despite TikTok&#8217;s claims that such posts are unavailable to maintain teenager-approved ratings on various application stores.&#8221;
While the other lawsuit relates to the &#8220;deception by TikTok that the user data of Arkansans is safe from access by the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party.&#8221;
&#8220;China is a foreign adversary that is targeting our children through social media in a serious challenge to American values,&#8221; Sanders&#8217; office said. &#8220;China is also threatening our nation&#8217;s security and our citizens&#8217; privacy by leveraging information technologies like TikTok against the United States.
President Joe Biden and several state officials have banned TikTok from government devices over data security and surveillance concerns after reports indicated that ByteDance staffers in China used the platform to monitor the locations of specific American users.
U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmakers-to-advance-tiktok-bill-us-house-speaker-says">announced</a> Sunday that lawmakers would advance legislation proposing a nationwide ban on TikTok after the video-sharing app&#8217;s CEO testified before Congress last week.
House Energy and Commerce Committee officials called on TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew to testify before the panel over their national security threats, data privacy, and safety issues for the app&#8217;s 150 million American users.
During the hearing, Chew neglected to answer whether individuals associated with ByteDance, the social media platform&#8217;s Chinese parent company, helped him prepare for the hearing. Lawmakers further pressed Chew asking if the app has spied on Americans at the request of Bejing, which the CEO denied.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very concerning that the CEO of TikTok can&#8217;t be honest and admit what we already know to be true—China has access to TikTok user data,&#8221; McCarthy wrote in a tweet. &#8220;The House will be moving forward with legislation to protect Americans from the technological tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party.&#8221;

American news magazine Newsweek retracted a headline Tuesday that incorrectly claimed author and Daily Wire host Candace Owens said transgender surgery turned the Nashville shooter into a monster.
As the nation mourned the murder of three children and three adults at the hands of a 28-year-old mass shooter inside the Covenant School, a Presbyterian preschool through 6th-grade institution in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, the news outlet published an article early Tuesday morning smearing Owens in the headline.
Newsweek originally published the headline: &#8220;<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/candace-owens-nashville-transgender-shooter-school-trans-1790789">Candace Owens Says Transgender Surgery Made Nashville Shooter Into Monster</a>.&#8221; By Tuesday afternoon, Newsweek issued a retraction, admitting the inaccuracy of the headline.
&#8220;Great news! @Newsweek has issued a retraction and changed the hideous lie of a headline which was written by one of their many lying LGBTQ activists, @shannonjpower,&#8221; Owens said in a tweet. &#8220;I will not tolerate blatant smears against me meant to inspire violence against my family. &#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Newsweek crafted the false headline based on a quote tweet Owens posted that showed transgender activists assaulting right-wing YouTube personality Alex Stein at a rally, which made no mention of the Nashville shooter in the tweet.
&#8220;When you play Frankenstein with people&#8217;s body&#8217;s parts, you can&#8217;t be surprised when they behave like monsters,&#8221; Owens said in the quote tweet from filmmaker Mike Cernovich. &#8220;A person willing to execute violence upon his/her own body will not hesitate to impart violence onto someone else&#8217;s.&#8221;

Owens later called out pop culture and entertainment reporter Shannon Power, warning her to look out for her lawyer&#8217;s cease and desist letter regarding the &#8220;FLAGRANT LIE of a headline.&#8221;
&#8220;You wrote this headline intentionally to send an army of trans people to send death threats to me— which they are doing,&#8221; Owens said. &#8220;An impossible conclusion for me to have made because NO ONE KNOWS IF THE SHOOTER HAD SURGERY. You are a lying piece of filth.&#8221;

The shooter, whom the Daily Wire will not name per company policy, was a white 28-year-old Nashville woman who recently identified as a man. Just before 10:30 a.m. on Monday, the shooter entered the school &#8220;armed with two assault-type rifles and a handgun,&#8221; police said until law enforcement fatally shot her.
Police identified the six victims, including three 9-year-old children and three adults 60 years old and above. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the victims are &#8220;Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all age 9, Cynthia Peak, age 61, Katherine Koonce, age 60, and Mike Hill, age 61.&#8221; Koonce was the head of the Covenant School.
Nashville Police Chief John Drake said the shooting was a &#8220;targeted attack,&#8221; later revealing authorities found maps of the school drawn in detail, including points of entry, and a &#8220;manifesto&#8221; indicating the shooter planned on attacking multiple locations. The police chief said authorities have a theory on the shooter&#8217;s motive but have not disclosed further information.
It remains unconfirmed if the shooter had undergone transgender surgery or had started using testosterone.
Owens later tweeted that the public deserves to know if the shooter had started taking such drugs to transition from female to male, accusing the pharmaceutical industry of contributing to gun violence.
&#8220;No one talks about big pharma&#8217;s contribution to shootings,&#8221; Owens said. &#8220;Virtually all of these psychopaths are on anti-depressants, hormones (trans), anti-psychotics, etc. Hold Pharma execs responsible for their human experiments.&#8221;

The unethical move from Newsweek comes weeks after left-wing publications, including Rolling Stone, Yahoo News, Huffington Post, and The Daily Beast, falsely framed Daily Wire host Michael Knowles&#8217; statement at the Conservative Political Action Conference in which he called for an end to transgenderism ideology.
Knowles told a crowd at the conservative event that men cannot become women, and women cannot become men, adding that society must help gender dysphoric people, not encourage them to seek sex changes.
However, the mentioned news outlets caused listening comprehension-challenged leftists to interpret Knowles&#8217; words as a call for &#8216;genocide&#8217; to eradicate transgender people, not an ideology.
The Daily Beast edited its original headline, which stated Knowles called for the &#8220;transgender community&#8221; to be eradicated to reflect that the podcast host called for eradicating &#8220;transgenderism,&#8221; not people who believe they are transgender.
Rolling Stone made a similar update.

Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that while the United States was not perfect, it was certainly the nation in which individuals had realized the most freedoms. She went on to say that in the current climate, if America was to fall away as the global leader, the nation likely to take its place would not support the same type of freedom worldwide.
“If America is not the number one global power, it’s not going to be Denmark, it’s going to be communist China, a country that right now the government is imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps,” Griffin explained. “It is a deeply racist government, it’s a human rights-violating government, it’s a government that if they are the leader of the free world, we are not a free world like we are right now. Nowhere else in the world do all these women sit at this table.”
“We all know it’s a great country because we all have benefitted from some of the great things about this country,” Joy Behar agreed, but she went on to complain about things she thought ought to be fixed — such as the health care system — and argued that mass shootings like the one that occurred on Monday in Nashville left people feeling more scared than patriotic.
Hostin joined the conversation then, arguing that the real problem in America was white supremacy. She then suggested — without questioning whether or not they had committed crimes — that the United States putting black people in jail was certainly a bigger problem that communist China imprisoning over one million citizens based solely on their religion and ethnicity.
“When I listen to Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI, he said white supremacy is the biggest domestic threat to this country and so as a woman of color and with a 6’2″ black kid in college and a 5’7″, 5’8″ Black kid in high school, I don’t see that part of American exceptionalism. I’m sorry,” Hostin said.

“I think this country has a lot of problems that could be solved. Yes, maybe they’re putting Muslims in jail in Afghanistan, I think you mentioned?” She continued
“China,” Griffin corrected.
“China? They’re putting a lot more black people in jail here,” Hostin claimed.

Tim Todd shared the update about his nephew, Phillip Todd, in a post to Facebook, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rand-paul-staffer-suffered-deep-knife-wound-required-surgery-dc-attack-uncle-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Fox News</a>.
&#8220;Doctors are concerned about possible seizures for the next month resulting from the deep knife wound to the head,&#8221; Todd wrote about his nephew. &#8220;Phillip is resting well.&#8221;
He also asked people to &#8220;continue to pray&#8221; for his nephew, whom <a href="https://eaccess.dccourts.gov/eaccess/search.page.3.1?x=kJBOdYl4aWbAno4w9ZNtLo5oE72VHXRRqNfjvhDIrEgxYwPLkH0rL52y243sUfid9D5Lt4vdGDJ7RlpsBVaE3J*wpa141N4FqATNlra7HRuqkKtG*iSGQouGHusza6xG-T4m5Cm-CF5PKw1k9nkC4fthMBDD-3bx2EaFQ7LRd44" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court documents</a> said suffered injuries to his head, ear, torso, and lungs that required surgery.
Paul announced on Monday that a member of his staff was &#8220;brutally attacked in broad daylight&#8221; in D.C., but did not identify the employee. The senator also said a suspect had been arrested.
&#8220;I ask you to join Kelley and me in praying for a speedy and complete recovery, and thanking the first responders, hospital staff, and police for their diligent actions,&#8221; Paul added, referring to his wife. &#8220;We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. At this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery.&#8221;

Paul is the <a href="https://www.senate.gov/general/committee_membership/committee_memberships_SSGA.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranking member</a> of the panel.
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said Todd was stabbed multiple times on H Street NE on Saturday and treated at a hospital for life-threatening injuries. An affidavit suggests the attack came at random, as Todd told a detective he did not know the suspect nor did the suspect demand anything of him before the attack.
A <a href="https://mpdc.dc.gov/release/arrest-made-assault-intent-kill-knife-offense-1300-block-h-street-northeast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police news release</a> on Monday said the suspect, identified as 42-year-old Glynn Neal of Southeast D.C., was arrested and charged with assault with intent to kill using a knife. A preliminary hearing is now scheduled for April 6.
Court records indicate that Neal was released from federal prison roughly 24 hours before the attack, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/suspect-accused-of-stabbing-senate-staffer-in-dc-got-out-of-prison-day-before-records-show/3314853/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to NBC Washington</a>.

The Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/dc-pimp-gets-12-years-for-forcing-women-into-prostitution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported in 2011</a> that someone with the same name who was a 30-year-old pimp at the time was sentenced to more than a decade behind bars for what prosecutors said was forcing women into prostitution and threatening to kill them.
