Unreported Truths readers are the best

A bit of housekeeping, a point I haven't seen anyone else make about Tyler Robinson, and more than a bit of thanks

Hoping to have a piece out about a big flu vaccine trial later today. You won’t BELIEVE what it says! Or maybe you will…

But first a couple quick notes on this Monday morning.

1: THANK YOU! Your response to my plea Saturday to subscribe to Unreported Truths and stand for free speech was inspiring. The water may be rising, but with your help, UT will remain an island of honesty and sanity. I hope.¹

And if you haven’t joined, you still can. (Obviously.)

2: The American Express nightmare continues. I heard from three different readers this weekend. Even Substack leadership has tried to help, but no progress so far.

It’s possible Amex, which is famously woke, is aiming at me for my content (I have heard from a couple of people who say they have had problems with payment processing for other contrarian/conservative sites lately). It’s more likely Unreported Truths is caught in some loop where Amex is rejecting charges almost at random and not listening to those of you complaining and telling them to put the charge through.

I apologize. Please know I am aware of this and am working on it. Your best bet might be to switch your card on Substack, if you can do so easily. In the meantime, if you ARE frustrated and want to cancel, please just let me know instead of putting in for a dispute — doing so will only make the mess harder to resolve.

Again, I’m sorry. This is not how I want to be spending my time, or yours.

3: I don’t want to fill your inboxes every time a new bit of information about the Charlie Kirk assassination comes out. But the case is obviously of pivotal importance, and I will write longer analyses as needed.

Meantime, one point I haven’t seen elsewhere: as you have no doubt seen, Tyler Robinson, Kirk’s alleged assassin, lived with Lance Twiggs², a man who was “transitioning” to become a woman. The two were in a romantic relationship; in other words, they were gay. And they lived in southern Utah, among the most religiously conservative places in the United States.

Perhaps everyone around Robinson and Twiggs - including neighbors in their apartment complex and family members who lived nearby - was unaware they were a couple. But that would be far more likely if Twiggs had not been “transitioning.” Two men can be roommates indefinitely without anyone wondering if they’re in a relationship. If one is pretending to be a woman, even the most naive neighbor may suspect they are doing more than playing Call of Duty all night.

Yet Robinson and Twiggs don’t seem to have faced any prejudice, much less violence. At least, no one has reported any incidents as yet, and I suspect the media would have done so loudly had it found any.

In other words, even in one of the most religiously conservative places in the United States, a young man and his “transitioning” boyfriend could live together unaccosted - or at least in a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation.

Yet more evidence the trans hate runs left to right.

(Saturday’s piece, if you missed it. If you’re on the fence about subscribing, I hope you’ll jump off - and sign up!)

1. One friend wrote in response to the piece, “Your joke today about both sides assuming the other will kill you was great.” Thanks. I think.

2. EDIT: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Lance Twiggs as Lance Triggs.
