On Friday, we all learned a valuable lesson: if you’re a criminal looking for leniency in America, just claim you’re transgender.
The judge will even recognize your gender journey in the sentencing — like they’re giving out a “Most Improved” award at the end of soccer season. And much of the media will seamlessly move from “he” to “she,” as soon as said criminal gives them the thumbs up.
How are we still doing this in 2025?
California native Nicholas Roske crossed the country intending to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft decision in the “Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health” case that overturned Roe v. Wade. He was sentenced on Friday to a mere eight years.
Remember Roske was busted outside of Kavanaugh’s Maryland home back in June 2022 toting a Glock pistol, ammunition, a tactical light, zip ties, pepper spray and burglary tools.
Though he didn’t follow through with the assassination and called 911 on himself, it was an eerie harbinger of leftist political violence to come.
The government recommended 30 years in prison, because traveling across the country to murder a Supreme Court Justice isn’t some casual brush with the law.
In this charged climate, it’s important to send a firm message to other nefarious actors motivated to harm or kill public officials. This should be a bipartisan sentiment.
Last month, Roske’s defense team conveniently revealed that he was trans and would like to be called Sophie — and exposed that our institutions are still slavishly devoted to the transgender ideology.
Judge Deborah Boardman considered Roske’s new identity while dishing out his light punishment.
“I am heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roske family… accept their daughter for who she is,” said Judge Boardman, according to the Daily Wire.
Hey, it was never about a man trying to murder a Supreme Court Justice and his family, it was about the would-be killer’s familial healing. And his gender identity being validated by his loved ones.
It was, what ABC’s Matt Gutman might call, “very touching.”
Where’s Judge Judy when you need her?
After Judge Boardman’s ruling, the media fell in line recognizing Roske’s gender makeover without an ounce of skepticism.
NBC News served up an Orwellian headline that read, “Woman sentenced to 8 years in prison for attempting to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh.”
Various other outlets including CBS, ABC and the NYTimes referred to Roske, as “she” while The Guardian also called him a “woman” in their headline.
To quote the husband describing Jake from State Farm in the insurance giant’s old commercial, “well, she’s a guy…”
We know Roske isn’t a woman, they know he’s not a woman. And their behavior is cowardly.
It’s not 2021, when media outlets were coerced into respecting pronouns and a plethora of gender identities and Twitter suspended accounts for “misgendering” people. Those who refused to comply with the pronoun delusion, were canceled, deplatformed and branded transphobes.
News outlets need to decide if they are serving their readers and delivering facts or catering to a handful of militant activists who insist that men can become women simply because they declare it so.
Even on Fox News Sunday, the entire panel tripped over themselves to avoid a pronoun boobytrap. They all clumsily referred to the biological male in variations of gender neutral, “that person.”
Roske’s biological sex isn’t some fact that’s up for interpretation. It’s as objective as his hometown or age. He is, indeed, a man.
Then again, it’s the same media that genuflected before the pronouns of a deranged man who shot up a Minnesota Catholic grammar school, killing two children and leaving others with life threatening injuries.
For example, NBC News tweeted, “Police visited the Minneapolis shooting suspect’s home at least twice when she was a teen. But she had no criminal record, and all weapons were lawfully purchased.”
By participating in such charades, these media outlets have successfully done the bidding of the evil patriarchy, managing to blame criminal behavior of white men on women.
It’s a neat trick.
But why is gender dysphoria now a special consideration when it comes to our justice system?
And hey, what could go wrong after Judge Boardman exploited the idea of empathy, giving a slap on the wrist to someone who could have ignited an even more painful period in our nation’s history. She did so partially because his maniacal act was done while he was experiencing gender distress, and he’ll have to be in a men’s prison thanks to an executive order from President Trump.
This will be a green light for more bad people with bad intentions to take advantage of the good lefties who turn to mush at idea of a man finding his inner woman while committing violent acts.
And much of the media will be the useful idiots there to rubber stamp such dangerous decisions.
