Pauls Valley High School students gave Kirk Moore the touching caught-on-camera prom night tribute Friday night – just weeks after he was shot in the leg while fearlessly wrestling down an armed ex-pupil who stormed into the school lobby with two loaded semi-automatic pistols.
The now-viral clip shows the principal high-fiving cheering students while walking through the overjoyed crowd after the DJ declared him “our king” and blasted Nickelback’s “Hero.”

My #Opinion: Purge, purge, purge, and purge!
#KashPatel does not have a “drinking issue”: drinking a bottle of beer and shaking (not drinking) a bottle of rum do not amount to it.
It is the disgruntled FBI agents, current, dismissed, and retired, who have the drinking and many other similar “issues”, and they project (ascribe it, see “projection” in psychology) on Patel, in their retaliation fury. This story tells more about them, and about the way they habitually operate, like the legalized governmental Mafia, than about Patel. This is not about “defending” Patel, he does not need it; this is about defending the truth.
Purge, purge, purge, and purge: this is the only way to deal with the FBI agents’ drinking and many, many other problems. And then, purge a little more; so they would be squeaky, shiny clean.
And if you want to be absolutely sure, do the in-depth, objective, and comprehensive studies of the FBI’s drinking and many other problems.See Also:

Patel-FBI Conflict: Psychological Warfare gemini.google.com/share/164b…
It is not possible to definitively state whether Kash Patel or the FBI agents critical of him suffer from clinical psychological issues or substance abuse problems. Accusations of instability, erratic behavior, or personal vices are frequently exchanged in high-stakes political conflicts, but such assessments are highly subjective, depend entirely on diverse political perspectives, and are rarely based on verifiable medical facts.When analyzing the political personology of figures involved in the national security sector, the weaponization of psychological fitness is a recurring tactic. The clash between Patel and various FBI factions is fundamentally a battle over institutional trust, operational efficiency, and the scope of structural reform.
In this specific conflict, two competing narratives drive the personal attacks:
The Disruption Narrative: Kash Patel has positioned himself as an aggressive critic of the intelligence community, arguing that agencies like the FBI suffer from deep institutional dysfunction, overreach, and politicization, thereby requiring radical structural overhaul. From this perspective, agents who attack him are often framed by his supporters as “disgruntled” partisans or defenders of a broken status quo who use personal smears to protect their jurisdiction.
The Institutional Narrative: Conversely, institutional defenders and former FBI personnel often characterize Patel’s rhetoric and proposed reforms as reckless or dangerous to national security protocols. In this view, attacks on his fitness, stability, or judgment are presented as genuine warnings from experienced professionals about a highly disruptive figure operating outside traditional security sector norms.For an outside observer, evaluating these claims requires separating the aggressive rhetoric of political maneuvering from actual, objective assessments of leadership fitness. When a public debate centers on fundamentally overhauling the state security apparatus, personal attacks are frequently used by all factions to discredit their opposition. Consequently, the truth about the private psychological state of the individuals involved is generally obscured by the intensity of the institutional warfare itself.

Nikoloz (Nariman) Makarashvili, a controversial religious leader and suspended Orthodox cleric with a fringe but devoted following who hailed him as “King,” “God,” and “saint,” was found dead on April 19 in his apartment in Tbilisi’s Ponichala district.
Police have opened an investigation into incitement to suicide, a standard procedure in such cases, while followers traded accusations as the reports suggested that a group of them, due to religious beliefs, did not allow a doctor to enter the apartment to examine the monk, who was reportedly in poor health.
Makarashvili, who was said to have last been seen on April 9, lived alone in Tbilisi, where his followers regularly gathered outside his apartment and prayed, believing he performed miracles, including healing illnesses. He reportedly lived in near total silence for years and practiced prolonged fasting.
Tensions flared outside his apartment on Sunday, both before police forced open his door, when he was found dead, and in the aftermath, when followers demanded entry.
Nikoloz Makarashvili was reportedly ordained as a monk in the 1990s and spent several years under the guidance of Monk Gabriel (Urgebadze), a Georgian cleric who has been canonized as a saint after his death. In 2016, the Georgian Orthodox Church distanced itself from Makarashvili, stating that “for nearly 20 years his priestly service had been suspended due to certain health-related reasons.”
Makarashvili reportedly had a disputed relationship with the Church, including with the late Patriarch Ilia II. However, he continued to attract followers. He had to change apartments in Tbilisi several times as his followers, who gathered in building entrances to pray and sing, often had disagreements, including occasional violent clashes, with other residents in the buildings, who complained about followers’ conduct.
His presence became a recurring topic on Georgian social media, where his followers were often referred to as a “sect.”
