In October 2017, a gunman shot and killed nearly 60 people at a music festival in Las Vegas. While not an exhaustive list of every mass shooting that took place during the Trump administration, here are some of the deadliest incidents while Trump was in office:
In November 2017, 26 people were killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. In February 2018, 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida. In May 2018, 10 people were killed at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas. In October 2018, 11 people were killed at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In November 2018, 12 people were killed at a restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California. In May 2019, 12 people were shot and killed at an office building in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In August 2019, 22 people were killed at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart in El Paso in August 2019 that resulted in 23 deaths; a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, in which a 17-year-old student is accused of killing eight students and two teachers in May 2018; and the killing of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February 2018 by a 19-year-old former student.
Virtually every day in America, some fucking criminal is put down by a good guy or gal with a "taxpayer relief" shot. A disproportionately HIGH number of the scumbags turned into worm food are black, or Negroes, as the alky loves to call them. Kudos to the media outlets honest enough to report them.
Citizens realize this, and that's why gun sales, particularly AR sales, are off the fucking charts once again.
Biden plans primetime address on gun violence following mass shootings
Chris Stein
President Joe Biden will address Americans at 7.30pm eastern time following mass shootings across the country, including at a Texas elementary school last week that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
Biden will deliver “remarks on the recent tragic mass shootings, and the need for Congress to act to pass commonsense laws to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is taking lives every day”, the White House said.
The speech comes on the same day that the House judiciary committee is holding a hearing to mark up Democrats’ omnibus gun-control bill, the Protecting Our Kids Act.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is beginning to put its stamp on gun legislation in response to mass shootings in Texas and New York by 18-year-old assailants who used semi-automatic rifles to kill 31 people, including 19 children.
The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Thursday to advance legislation that would raise the age limit for purchasing certain semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21. The bill would make it a federal offense to import, manufacture or possess large-capacity magazines and would create a grant program to buy back such magazines. It also builds on the executive branch’s ban on bump-stock devices and so-called ghost guns that are privately made without serial numbers.
The fact that you have to go back 5 years and about 100,000 murders to find 170 mass shooting victims... that would make up 0.17% of all murders. As in not even 1% of them.
Proves my point.
Either you have no clue in terms of how many people are killed by others every single day or you really have no idea how to make a point.
This is not about preventing a single death. This is about politicizing the issue for political advantage.
The left is completely consistent in their insincerity as well as their hypocrisy. If their desire to reduce gun deaths was real, they'd want to take a holistic approach to ALL gun deaths. But that's not convenient because it exposes their flank to criticism due to the fact that they actually support most of those pulling the triggers and count them amongst their constituents.
Far more important is that we have to stop the slow motion coup. It stated on election night 🌙.
In a report published by Politico on June 1, Washington, D.C.-based journalist Heidi Przybyla described a plan by GOP operatives to “install” an “army” of “trained recruits” as “regular poll workers” in Democratic precincts — recruits who would be “in direct contact with” Republican Party attorneys. Never Trump conservative Jennifer Rubin, in a June 2 column for the Washington Post, describes this scheme as a recipe for “election subversion” and argues that it merits a comprehensive investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“In case you thought President Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020, the ensuing investigations of armed insurrectionists and the work of the House January 6 select committee had deterred future attempts to sabotage democracy,” Rubin writes, “think again…. This self-described ‘army’ of 2020 election deniers, coupled with lawyers ready to throw the election into chaos, should set off alarm bells at the Justice Department. While this evidence comes from Michigan, it is a scheme that former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon, among others, has been pushing nationwide.”
Ultimately, the widespread assault on democracy can only be stopped by voters. Last month, when receiving the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s Profile in Courage award, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) warned that “we face a threat we have never faced before — a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic.” It is not only Trump, but an entire party that has taken up that cause.
It is worth underscoring Cheney’s admonition:
At this moment, we must all summon the courage to stand against that. The question for every one of us is in this time of testing, will we do our duty? Will we defend our Constitution? Will we stand for truth? Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics? Or will we look away from danger, ignore the threat, embrace the lies, and enable the liar? …
I ask all of you to remember this sacred duty that has passed to us; to remember that in our republic some things have to matter. That the defense of our republic, the defense of the constitutional foundations of our nation have to matter. In a republic, there are no bystanders, there are no spectators. As citizens, every one of us has a duty to set aside partisan battles and stand together to perpetuate and preserve our great republic.
That means honest election officials must thwart such plots. It means the Justice Department must act swiftly to prosecute insurrection. It means bar associations and judges must make clear that lawyers who participate in unfounded fraud claims face significant consequences. And it means the media must be candid that the threat to our democracy comes from a radicalized GOP (and treat Republicans accordingly in interviews).
And it means voters who perceive the threat to our democracy must turn out in overwhelming numbers. Nothing less than the survival of democracy is at issue.
America Had 3 Simultaneous Shootings On Wednesday, Less Than 2 Weeks After Uvalde
Four people were killed in Tulsa, a student was shot in Los Angeles and a woman was targeted at a nail salon in Pennsylvania,
As residents in Uvalde, Texas, were burying their children and loved ones this week, Americans in three separate states watched shootings unfold simultaneously in the latest deadly spate of gun violence that has become a uniquely American problem.
Four people were killed in a shooting at a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Wednesday. Police said a gunman carrying a rifle and a handgun opened fire on a hospital campus just before 5 p.m. local time, wounding several others before the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Her aunt noted that Nevaeh’s first name is heaven spelled backward. In a Facebook posting, Yvonne White described Nevaeh and her friend Jailah Silguero as “Our Angels.”

Jacklyn Cazares, 9
Javier Cazares said his daughter was someone who would give the “shirt off her back” to help someone. “She had a voice,” he said. “She didn’t like bullies, she didn’t like kids being picked on. All in all, full of love. She had a big heart.” Annabell Rodriguez, also a victim, was Jacklyn’s second cousin.

Makenna Lee Elrod, 10
Makenna’s father asked on Tuesday if he could go to the local funeral home to search for his daughter because he feared “she may not be alive,” TV station KTRK reported. Her family later asked for privacy.

Jose Manuel Flores Jr., 10
Jose’s parents told CNN that the 10-year-old was helpful around the house and loved his younger siblings. “He was just very good with babies,” his mother said. His father told CNN that Jose loved baseball and video games and “was always full of energy.” A photo taken at school Tuesday shows him smiling and proudly holding a certificate to show he made the honor roll.
Why don’t they feel an urgency to do something Scott ?
There's your problem alky.
Just "DO SOMETHING!!!11!" is not an answer. It's never a rational answer to anything, but it's all you clowns know how to do. No matter what ails America, all you ever want to do is "something" to politically posture to and patronize your ignorant base, with absolutely no consideration as to whatever it is you want to "do" has value, has been thought through, is an appropriate response to the problem, or will even fucking WORK.
And "common sense gun control" (LOL) is no exception.
All your common sense gun control is ever designed to do is disarm the law abiding like me. And I'm not your problem.
Idiot leftists fall for that shit every time. Thoughtful conservatives have offered solutions your team rejects out of hand.
So here we are.
There is not a single proposal in the house bill that would have prevented Buffalo or Uvalde or any other mass/school shooting. Meanwhile 51 people were shot in Chicago over the long weekend. 9 died. And you don't care.
You don't seek to solve anything. All you seek is scoring cheap political points.
That's as evil as the scumbags who pulled the triggers.
Fuentes is accused of collecting ballots during the 2020 primary election in violation of the law that only allows a caregiver or family member to return someone else’s early ballot, and in some cases filling them out.
Her attorney, Ann Chapman, has not responded to repeated inquiries seeking comment, including on Wednesday.
Republicans have rallied around the possibility of widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election where former President Donald Trump was defeated. They’ve pointed to the charges against Fuentes as part of a broader pattern in battleground states.
There is no sign of that in the investigation records, though. They were obtained through a public records request from the Arizona attorney general’s office that was first made in February 2021, but was denied. The AP sent a new request last October after more charges were filed against Fuentes. The attorney general finally provided more than 20 documents laying out the investigation late last week.
The records show that fewer than a dozen ballots could be linked to Fuentes, not enough to make a difference in all but the tightest local races.
ight RRB. "Had those children been aborted before they ever saw the light of day the alky would have cheered their demise."
WHAT A CROCK OF STRAWMAN HORSESHIT!!!!!!! Just make up arguments to support your phony indignation as our dear rat hole more than once recommended setting up machine guns at the border to keep beaners out!!! Amazing now he supports beaner fetus's while the live kids get mowed down by another hater......sad the goat fucker ignored the hypocrisy....typical of dumb fucks sticking together as white power diminishes!!!!
DEKALB COUNTY RECOUNT SHOWS MASSIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MACHINE COUNT AND HAND COUNT FROM MAY 24TH PRIMARY – ELECTION RESULTS CHANGED, ELECTRONIC DATABASE SUSPECTED
Alky says this is acceptable as long as it doesn't change the outcome.
And if it DOES change the outcome, the alky says it's still acceptable...
In other words, the May 24th election was again marred with fraud and incompetence.
Proving once and for all that trump really won Georgia!!!!!!! Let's wait for the actual root problem before jumping and summing all over yourselves like the fools you are!!!!
; Mr. Barr’s mandate to Mr. Durham appears to have been to investigate a series of conspiracy theories.
Mr. Mueller’s team also charged or obtained guilty pleas from about three dozen people and companies and wrote a lengthy report in less time than Mr. Durham has taken to develop only two indicted cases, the first of which just ended in failure. After the verdict on Tuesday, the jury forewoman told reporters the case should not have been prosecuted.
But on the night of the acquittal, Sean Hannity of Fox News said Mr. Sussmann was “just a small player in this whole case,” and dismissed the verdict as nothing more than political bias among a jury pool drawn from a heavily Democratic district like you said.
Mueller got process crimes from a couple of people (Papadopoulos, Flynn) one person with identity theft charges. That was it as it relates specifically to the Russian collusion portion.
Durham already has two guilty pleas and several others who are awaiting trial or charges.
He charged Manafort and Gates (and one of their attorneys) with completely unrelated criminal actions that had nothing to do with Russian collusion.
Cohen and Stone are counted in the list even though Cohen was charged by a separate investigator for a separate investigation and Stone was charged with something to do with wikileaks (and nothing to do with Russian Collusion).
He dropped ALL OF THE CHARGES against the Russian companies after they asked for discovery and a speedy trial and he hasn't gotten a single conviction against any of the 12 other Russians he indicted.
So... it sounds good...
If you are stupid and not paying actual attention.
But at the end of the day...
He proved nothing to do with Russian collusion.
Durham has already proven what he sought out to prove.
That Comey ignored his own people and pushed a partisan investigation without evidence and that Mueller kept the same investigation open for almost two more years... without proving anything.
Because the entire concept of Russian collusion was a Hillary Clinton bought and paid for hoax.
Red flag laws allow family members, close contacts, law enforcement and, in some cases, medical professionals to petition a court for the authority to confiscate a person’s guns and block them from purchasing firearms if they pose a serious risk to themselves or others.
Would those red flags include someone who is committed to a lock down mental health facility sharing a room with someone who believes he is the fifth Beatle?
Did you really "fall for" that story about how Comey proved Russian collusion by listing a bunch of people who either were charged with unrelated crimes or the 15 or so he had to drop charges are admit he had no case?
Are you really that stupid?
Do you still actually believe that the "bad orange man" conspired with Putin? Are you really that mentally ill?
This is funny. Let’s start with defining replacement theory. It’s a racist formulation that has migrated from France to far-right American circles to some officials and candidates in the GOP mainstream. In its purest version, the theory maintains that shadowy, left-wing elites—often identified as Jews—are deliberately working to undermine the political influence of native-born white citizens by promoting immigration and other policies that increase racial diversity. This conspiracy theory was the inspiration, if that’s the right word, for the neo-Nazis who chanted during their 2017 march in Charlottesville, Virginia, that “Jews will not replace us.” Where Trump said that there are good people on both side 🙄
and btw... the Great Replacement Theory is technically a European theory written by a Frenchman. That was the titles of his BOOKS. It has nothing to do with French people migrating to America and everything to do with Muslims and Jews migrating to places like Paris.
and the "Great Replacement Theory" has nothing to do with Tucker Carlson... unless you are an idiot and believe anything you are told.
Hardening schools would have done nothing to prevent this shooting,” he insisted. “In fact, there were guards and police officers already at the school yesterday when the shooter showed up. … The shooter got past all of them with two assault weapons that he purchased. They couldn’t stop him.”
Schumer’s statement turned out to be false – there were no school resource officers on duty at Robb Elementary that day. But Democratic politicians aren’t exactly known for letting the truth get in the way, are they?
Nevertheless, I have decided to do the country a favor. I have been convinced that Democrats are right. Hardening schools won’t save a single life because guns are the problem.
I propose that President Biden disband the Secret Service and immediately dismantle all security measures in the White House. Every single armed guard at the Capitol building should be fired immediately. Remove all metal detectors in Congress. Disable and destroy all surveillance cameras in the White House, Capitol Building, and the Supreme Court. Hell, every single federal government building should become soft targets. This can probably be accomplished in a week or two.
But that’s not all. Let’s do the same for state and local governments as well. Disassemble each and every tool in every government building that is designed to protect the individuals working inside. If our small children don’t need these security measures, our government officials don’t need them either.
Think of all the taxpayer money that will be saved!
Since guns are the problem, not employing security measures to stop men using those guns is the very best strategy we can employ. Read my words: No. More. Security. Measures.
I realize this might cause hardships for security companies and the armed guards that work with them. But who cares?
Since guns are the problem, not employing security measures to stop men using those guns is the very best strategy we can employ. Read my words: No. More. Security. Measures.
What a moron...
My son's school has two entrances. One had people there at all time and generally a cop stationed. The other you need to be buzzed in.
Guess what...
99% of the Parents want that security and cop on duty...
So some idiot politician with a bone to pick and no kids in school can pretend somehow that there is "gun legislation" that will keep kids save if he wants..
The only question is who is "crazy" (as in living in a lock down facility crazy) enough to believe him?
Oh... how about you Roger?
You fit the bill? You and your inmate friends believe this nonsense?
While you obsess about the "bad orange man" who hasn't been President in 16 months? Oooohhhhh... is he under your bed tweeting mean things!
Today, President Biden called for banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in a prime-time address to the nation from the White House in which he asked, “For God’s sake, how much more carnage are willing to accept?” Biden said that if assault weapons can’t be banned, the age to purchase such weapon should be raised to 21. Biden also called for red-flag laws, a repeal of the liability shield for gun manufacturers and a “safe-storage” law.
He said lawmakers should reinstate the ban on assault weapons, like AR-15s, and a ban on high capacity magazines. If those weapons aren’t banned, the age to purchase them should be raised to 21 from 18.
“Why in God’s name should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault weapon that holds 30 round magazines, that lets mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes,” Biden said.
Biden said Congress should also strengthen background checks, including requiring them at gun shows and online sales, and enact safe storage and red flag laws and repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability.
He also called for actions to address mental health, including more school counselors and other mental health services for students and teachers.
“I’ll never give up. If Congress fails, I believe this time a majority of American people won’t give up either,” Biden said. “I believe the majority of you will act to turn outrage to make sure this issue is central to your vote. Enough, enough, enough.
The evening remarks from the White House came after another mass shooting in Oklahoma Wednesday, when four people were killed after a gunman opened fire inside a Tulsa hospital.
He said Second Amendment rights aren’t absolute, citing limitations on machine guns as an example. “This isn’t about taking away anyone’s rights. It’s about protecting children. It’s about protecting families.” He added: “How much more carnage are we willing to accept?”
What will we be doing as a nation?” he asked, while families of victims mourn. He described meeting with the sister of a teacher murdered in Uvalde, whose husband died of a heart attack in the aftermath. Their four children are now left as orphans.
Biden said she asked him what she could say to her nieces and nephews. His response, was just to hold them tight.
After reflecting on that heartbreaking moment and the others he’s had meeting with families, he called on the American people to make a change.
“It is time for each of us to do our part” he said, “for the children we lost and the children we can save.”
“Let us finally do something” he repeated. “God bless the families that are hurting. God bless you all.”
Ending with a prayer, he closed his remarks.

Biden has called for the age requirements to be raised and for the gun lobby to be reeled in.
He also focused on mental health issues. “Even before the pandemic young people were hurting” he said, pushing for more counselors for students and teachers.
After outlining what he would do, he pushed on Congress, asking what legislators would do. Saying that refusing to pass new restrictions is “unconscionable” he said he would never give up.
“We can’t fail the American people again” he said.
More to the point, my issue was about what Schumer and the other politicians were saying (not the mocking). Those politicians who are actually pushing "against" a bill that would harden schools in terms of security.
Did you really not understand that the guy was mocking Schumer and the other politicians who are against school security because somehow that takes away from "gun control"?

Biden appeals for tougher gun laws: ‘How much more carnage?’
By WILL WEISSERT and ZEKE MILLERa few seconds ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden delivered an impassioned plea to Congress to take action against gun violence in an address to the nation Thursday night, calling on lawmakers to restore a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines after a string of mass shootings. If legislators fail to act, he warned, voters should use their “outrage” to turn gun violence into a central issue in November’s midterm elections.
Speaking at the White House, Biden acknowledged the stiff political headwinds as he sought to drive up pressure on Congress to pass stricter gun limits after such efforts failed following past attacks. He said if Congress won’t embrace all of his proposals, they must at least find compromise on other measures, like limiting access to firearms to those with mental health issues or raising the age to buy assault-style weapons from 18 to 21.
“How much more carnage are we willing to accept,” Biden said after last week’s shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.
Biden has called for the age requirements to be raised and for the gun lobby to be reeled in.
He also focused on mental health issues. “Even before the pandemic young people were hurting” he said, pushing for more counselors for students and teachers.

“This is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” Biden said. “It’s not not about vilifying gun owners.”
However, Biden cited former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ― a conservative icon ― who had declared that the Second Amendment was “not unlimited.”
A ten-year federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004, and an attempt to revive it following the massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a decade ago failed in the face of bipartisan opposition.
But shows strong support for additional restrictions in the aftermath of the Texas elementary school shooting and ahead of November’s crucial midterm elections. Nearly two-thirds of Americans surveyed in a Politico/Morning Consult poll last week said they support stricter gun control laws, with 44% saying they were “strongly” in favor.
That represents an uptick, driven by Republican and independent voters, from the immediate aftermath of Buffalo shooting.
If McConnell can avoid a filibuster it might get the 60 votes.
Even Newsmax believes that Putin has cancer and has survived an assaination in March President Putin appears in public every day. You can see him on the screens, read his speeches, listen to his speeches," Lavrov told French media TF1. "I don't think sane people can discern any sort of symptom of disease in this man."
A report published Sunday by the Sunday Mirror quoted an officer from the FSB, Russia's main intelligence service, who claimed Putin, 69, was given three years to live.
The officer described Putin's condition as a "severe form of rapidly progressing cancer" and said he had "no more than two to three years left."
Additionally, he said, Putin was losing his sight and suffering from headaches.

Sheriff: Two people shot at an Ames church parking lot, shooter also killed Des Moines Register staff Three people were shot in a parking lot outside Ames' Cornerstone Church Thursday night, Story County Sheriff Capt. Nicholas Lennie said.
Three people were shot in a parking lot outside Ames' Cornerstone Church Thursday night, Story County Sheriff Capt. Nicholas Lennie said.
One of the dead is believed to be the shooter, Lennie said.
Lennie said several 911 calls came in at 6:51 p.m. as a program was going on at church. The church hosts a regular Thursday evening event for its youth ministry, the Salt Company.
Officials said the shooting happened in the parking lot of the church as others were inside. Hours later there were still people inside the church as well as in the parking lot.
Law enforcement officials on Thursday did not release details on the weapon used in the shooting. Lennie said there was not an ongoing threat to the public and more details would be released later Thursday.
People console each other after a shooting outside Cornerstone Church Thursday, June 2, 2022 in Ames, Iowa Cornerstone Church, a megachurch with dozens of staff, is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 30 and Interstate 35 in Ames. The church sits just south of Lake Wesley.
The church is also framed by CrossRoad Baptist Church and the Iowa Department of Transportation Maintenance Garage. Beyond that are sprawling fields. Across the street from the church is the 3ts All Star Sports Academy. To its west, on the other side of I-35, are DMACC and Durham School Services, as well as a handful of businesses.
The church, according to its website, was founded in 1994 from a college ministry at Iowa State University called The Salt Company, which is still the name of the church's university ministry. It counted some 500 student members at the time and claims to have been the largest student organization at ISU.
The Cornerstone website says it is now a "multigenerational church with a passion to reach the next generation of college students with the Gospel."
The Salt Company's website claims about 1,300 students gather every Thursday night during the school year.
The shooting in Ames follows several high-profile mass shootings. Ten people were killed at Buffalo, New York, grocery store on May 14. Twenty-one people — including 19 students — were killed at a Uvalde, Texas school on May 24. And four people were killed at a Tulsa, Oklahoma medical building Wednesday.
Earlier on Thursday, President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass sweeping gun control legislation.
In the days immediately after the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings, both the president and Vice President Kamala Harris largely stayed away from any direct negotiations with lawmakers about how to create a response to the shootings that can pass in Congress.
But on Thursday, Mr. Biden abandoned that approach, deciding instead to lay down a marker that will cement his legacy as a president who fought for tougher gun laws, successful or not.
In his speech on Thursday, Mr. Biden described the deep grief that he experienced when he and his wife talked to the families of victims in the two mass shootings.
“At both places, we spent hours with hundreds of family members, who were broken, whose lives will never be the same,” he said. “They had one message for all of us: Do something. Just do something. For God’s sake, do something.”
“How much more carnage are we willing to accept?” he asked. “How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say: Enough. Enough.”
This is exactly why assault weapons should be banned.
At the time the second amendment was added to the constitution, reload time for the guns was about a minute and all of them were single-shot weapons. By contrast, the Las Vegas killer in 2017 sprayed more than a thousand bullets out his hotel window to kill 60 people in a 10-minute period. The teenager in Buffalo who killed 10 Black shoppers and an armed security guard was not a well-regulated militia, and neither was the antisemite who killed 11 in the synagogue in Pittsburgh, or the homophobe who killed 49 and wounded 53 in an Orlando nightclub, or the anti-immigration butcher in El Paso who killed 23 and wounded 23 or the childkiller who took 26 lives in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 of them six and seven-year-old children.
At 7:48 p.m., President 0Joe Biden wrapped up his speech on 0gun violence in America, exhorting 0Congress to pass gun control laws.
“For God’s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept? How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say ‘enough’? Enough,” he said.
Just three minutes later, 911 calls started coming in in Ames, Iowa.
There was another shooting.
Story County Sheriff’s Capt. Nicholas Lennie said 0three people were killed in a parking lot outside Ames’ Cornerstone Church on Thursday night, including one who was believed to be the shooter.
The American people aren’t asking for much – they just want to go to the grocery store, send their kids to school, go to church, and walk the streets without getting shot down. If the Senate can’t meet that basic need, this country is in deep trouble.

And your side's reflexive "go to" in every case is to demand that the American people give up their God-given basic human right to self-defense. To disarm the law-abiding. To punish those who have done nothing wrong. And to hang a "Gun-Free Zone" over all of America so that only the criminals are armed.
All under the guise that we must "DO SOMETHING!!!11!"; giving it no thought, considering none of the consequences - intended or unintended - of your actions, in a very cheap and very sleazy attempt to pander, with your only true consideration being how to capitalize and profit politically from it.
We piss away $40 BILLION to an assclown comic in Eastern Europe when that $$$$$ could be spent to harden every public school on America.
The list of who and what we protect with hardened facilities and armed guards in America is long, but what that list does not contain is the most precious of all - our children, who are our future. FJB has made it crystal clear that he rejects hardening our schools, preferring instead to disarm law-abiding citizens. This is stupid and it's wrong, but it's where we are until you clowns decide to put the politics aside and focus on real solutions.

“Republicans have no answers. There’s no economic agenda. Where’s their jobs plan for the last 10 years? Where the hell is their health care plan? They don’t have one. They’re bankrupt as a party. And, in addition to that, they accommodate and embrace these loopy theories and racist theories about how we should live our lives starting with Q-Anon.” — Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who is “not quite known to breathe rhetorical fire,” quoted by Politico.
Rev..... the GOP never has answers....just slimy answers to direct questions so they make no commitment other than feeding their base voters....They do not care for anything but their own personal wants and agenda....Like rat worried about a fetus while kids are being killed with guns....sad commentary for the entire party!!!!
Democrats own the House, the Senate, and the White House. They 'won' those majorities on several promises and claims to have the 'answers' you seek, pederast.
Since then, everything the democrats have touched has turned to complete shit.
Embrace the suck of your party and its failures, and don't try to pawn your shit show off on the GOP claiming they don't have 'answers.'
Another million fucking idiots buying guns is just another sign of the mental state of the country......killing over life the new mantra of the flaming idiots of the GOP!!!!

We need to have hardened schools.
We need to keep criminals in jail and not release them early.
There should be no "equity" on gun crimes, prosecute and punish them
Protect the border and stop illegal immigration
prosecute all people who lie on existing law on their background checks
When the FBI learns of threats act
When an incident occurs go in
shoot to kill
These would make a huge difference in crime and murders nationwide. And while the few 100 who have died in mass shootings by AR15's over the years, they pale to the number of children dying each year to drugs. They represent just a pimple.
And as a matter of fact if the Texas shooter had gone in with a handgun he still could have killed all those children. Easily.
Schools and society has failed, not citizens wanting to protect themselves because policing has been compromised by the democrats
And patriotic Americans wanting to be ready for the increasing tyranny the democrats represent
Lastly any gun law enacted must not carve out exclusions for politicians.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure from high inflation and rising interest rates.
Last month’s gain reflects a resilient job market that has so far shrugged off concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises interest rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate remained a low 3.6% in May, just above a half-century low, the Labor Department said Friday.
The job growth in May was high enough to keep the Fed on track to pursue what’s likely to be the fastest series of rate hikes in more than 30 years. Stock market futures fell Friday after the government released the jobs report, reflecting that concern.
Businesses in many industries remain desperate to hire because their customers have kept spending freely despite intensifying concerns about high inflation. Americans’ finances have been buoyed by rising pay and an unusually large pile of savings that were accumulated during the pandemic, particularly by higher-income households.
Workers, in general, are enjoying nearly unprecedented bargaining power. The number of people who are quitting jobs, typically for better positions at higher pay, has been at or near a record high for six months.
Nearly every large industry added workers in May. One major exception was retail, which shed nearly 61,000 positions. Some large retailers, including Walmart and Target, have reported disappointing sales and earnings. Last month, Walmart said it had over-hired and then reduced its head count through attrition.
Construction companies added 36,000 jobs, a hopeful sign for Americans who have bought new homes that aren’t yet built because of labor and parts shortages. Shipping and warehousing companies, still struggling to keep up with growing online commerce, added 47,000 jobs. Restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues hired 84,000.
The strength of the job market is itself contributing to inflationary pressures. With wages rising across the economy, companies are passing on at least some of their increased labor costs to their customers in the form of higher prices. The costs of food, gas, rent and other items – which fall disproportionately on lower-income households -- are accelerating at nearly the fastest pace in 40 years.
Inflation had begun surging last year as spiking demand for cars, furniture, electronic equipment and other physical goods collided with overwhelmed supply chains and parts shortages. More recently, prices for such services as airline tickets, hotel rooms and restaurant meals have jumped as Americans have shifted more of their spending to those areas.
To try to cool spending and slow inflation, the Fed last month raised its short-term rate by a half-point, its biggest hike since 2000, to a range of 0.75% to 1%. Two additional half-point rate increases are expected this month and in July. And some Fed officials have suggested in recent speeches that if inflation doesn’t show signs of slowing, they could implement yet another half-point increase in September.
The Fed’s moves have already sharply elevated mortgage rates and contributed to drops in sales of new and existing homes. The rate hikes have also magnified borrowing costs for businesses, which may respond by reducing their investment in new buildings and equipment, slowing growth in the process.

EXPERT: Biden “Hasn’t Added One Single Job from 2019 High Watermark”
“The economy – and this is an important point – hasn’t added one single job from the 2019 high watermark. Not one. All the jobs that we have seen gained are recovered jobs that were lost. We are not yet producing new jobs.”
“In fact, we’re still about nearly four million jobs short. So these wage gains are coming on top of a shrinking workforce, and it’s not being fueled by productivity enhancements.”
Economists have estimated that the nation added a solid 325,000 jobs last month, down from 428,000 in both March and April, according to forecasts compiled by FactSet, a data provider. If so, that would snap a record-breaking streak of 12 straight months in which job growth had topped 400,000. The unemployment rate is expected to slip to 3.5% — matching a half-century low — from 3.6%.
After months of robust hiring, U.S. employers might have pulled back slightly in May, to levels that would still be consistent with a healthy job market, despite high inflation and rising borrowing costs.
Statement by President Biden on the April Jobs Report
MAY 06, 2022STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Today, we learned that the economy created 428,000 jobs in April – bringing the total number of jobs created since I took office to 8.3 million: record setting job creation in my first 15 months in office. Our plans and policies have produced the strongest job creation economy in modern times. The unemployment rate now stands at 3.6% —the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded. There have been only 3 months in the last 50 years where the unemployment rate in America is lower than it is now. This is a direct result of the American Rescue Plan, our COVID vaccination program, and my plan to grow our economy from the bottom up and middle out. When I took office, there were around 20 million people relying on unemployment benefits to feed their families; today, that number is around 1 million – the lowest since 1970. We are building an economy that values the dignity of work.
There’s no question that inflation and high prices are a challenge for families across the country, and fighting inflation is a top priority for me. The continued strength of our job market and the savings that families have built up over the last year means that our economy faces the challenges of COVID-19, Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and global inflation from a position of strength. There’s more work to do. I encourage Congressional Republicans to join us in our efforts to lower prices for families across the country, by making more in America, strengthening our supply chains, and cutting the energy and prescription drug costs.
When I took office, there were around 20 million people relying on unemployment benefits to feed their families; today, that number is around 1 million – the lowest since 1970. We are building an economy that values the dignity of work.

On June 9th the hearings will begin Expert testimony is always important in hearings like this to educate the public about complex issues. Axios reported this week that they plan to call conservative Republican former federal judge, J. Michael Luttig, a man who was shortlisted more than once for a Supreme Court seat. Luttig advised Former Vice President Mike Pence on the illegality of overthrowing the government. (Evidently, Pence wasn't sure ...)
Republicans are obviously worried that some of their troops might tune in and see something that will shake their faith in the Big Lie.

The stock market Dow reacts to the restored jobs report by shedding 240 points.
The middle class is getting a higher percentage of the GDP
Last month’s gain reflects a still-healthy job market despite concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate was unchanged at a low 3.6%, the Labor Department said Friday.
But if you step back and look at the big picture, this is still an exceptionally strong pace of hiring.
The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers.
The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%.

If your "comparison" doesn't account for the intentional destruction caused by our idiotic Covid response, it's an intellectually dishonest comparison.
In other words, you have to tell one big fucking whopper of a lie to make Joey Sprinkles look good.
We haven't come close to restoring what's been destroyed,

In October 2017, a gunman shot and killed nearly 60 people at a music festival in Las Vegas. While not an exhaustive list of every mass shooting that took place during the Trump administration, here are some of the deadliest incidents while Trump was in office:
In November 2017, 26 people were killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
In February 2018, 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
In May 2018, 10 people were killed at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.
In October 2018, 11 people were killed at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In November 2018, 12 people were killed at a restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California.
In May 2019, 12 people were shot and killed at an office building in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
In August 2019, 22 people were killed at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart in El Paso in August 2019 that resulted in 23 deaths; a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, in which a 17-year-old student is accused of killing eight students and two teachers in May 2018; and the killing of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February 2018 by a 19-year-old former student.
So the white house has finally admitted it. All of this truly IS intentional -
Watch Jean-Pierre claim the Biden economic plan is working just fine “as we see it”

I guess there was nothing left to do at this point BUT admit it.
Virtually every day in America, some fucking criminal is put down by a good guy or gal with a "taxpayer relief" shot. A disproportionately HIGH number of the scumbags turned into worm food are black, or Negroes, as the alky loves to call them. Kudos to the media outlets honest enough to report them.
Citizens realize this, and that's why gun sales, particularly AR sales, are off the fucking charts once again.
Biden plans primetime address on gun violence following mass shootings
Chris Stein
President Joe Biden will address Americans at 7.30pm eastern time following mass shootings across the country, including at a Texas elementary school last week that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
Biden will deliver “remarks on the recent tragic mass shootings, and the need for Congress to act to pass commonsense laws to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is taking lives every day”, the White House said.
The speech comes on the same day that the House judiciary committee is holding a hearing to mark up Democrats’ omnibus gun-control bill, the Protecting Our Kids Act.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is beginning to put its stamp on gun legislation in response to mass shootings in Texas and New York by 18-year-old assailants who used semi-automatic rifles to kill 31 people, including 19 children.
The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Thursday to advance legislation that would raise the age limit for purchasing certain semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21. The bill would make it a federal offense to import, manufacture or possess large-capacity magazines and would create a grant program to buy back such magazines. It also builds on the executive branch’s ban on bump-stock devices and so-called ghost guns that are privately made without serial numbers.
Roger...
55 people are murdered every single day...
The fact that you have to go back 5 years and about 100,000 murders to find 170 mass shooting victims... that would make up 0.17% of all murders. As in not even 1% of them.
Proves my point.
Either you have no clue in terms of how many people are killed by others every single day or you really have no idea how to make a point.
100,000 over 5 years might be "widespread"
170 over 5 years is not...
That isn't even a few hours of Covid deaths.
100,000 over 5 years might be "widespread"
170 over 5 years is not...
That isn't even a few hours of Covid deaths.
This is not about preventing a single death. This is about politicizing the issue for political advantage.
The left is completely consistent in their insincerity as well as their hypocrisy. If their desire to reduce gun deaths was real, they'd want to take a holistic approach to ALL gun deaths. But that's not convenient because it exposes their flank to criticism due to the fact that they actually support most of those pulling the triggers and count them amongst their constituents.
James, are you for Americans producing the gas and oil we need?

If labor costs go up and profit margins go down, there is no inflationary reaction."
No such economic principles at play ,just pure fantasy wishing.
Like "transitory inflation " is meaningless bullshit so is "Bottom-Up Economics ".
Roger , has yet to define " Bottom-Up Economics ",, come on Roger move boldly,define it.

" Blogger The Real Halfbaked Soars Pundit said...
Raising wages are not inflationary if the profit rate goes down."
Roger, do you have an index that tracks your "profit rate"?
Roger can't actually debate Economics, he is too spectacularly ignorant.
Far more important is that we have to stop the slow motion coup. It stated on election night 🌙.
In a report published by Politico on June 1, Washington, D.C.-based journalist Heidi Przybyla described a plan by GOP operatives to “install” an “army” of “trained recruits” as “regular poll workers” in Democratic precincts — recruits who would be “in direct contact with” Republican Party attorneys. Never Trump conservative Jennifer Rubin, in a June 2 column for the Washington Post, describes this scheme as a recipe for “election subversion” and argues that it merits a comprehensive investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“In case you thought President Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020, the ensuing investigations of armed insurrectionists and the work of the House January 6 select committee had deterred future attempts to sabotage democracy,” Rubin writes, “think again…. This self-described ‘army’ of 2020 election deniers, coupled with lawyers ready to throw the election into chaos, should set off alarm bells at the Justice Department. While this evidence comes from Michigan, it is a scheme that former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon, among others, has been pushing nationwide.”
Ultimately, the widespread assault on democracy can only be stopped by voters. Last month, when receiving the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s Profile in Courage award, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) warned that “we face a threat we have never faced before — a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic.” It is not only Trump, but an entire party that has taken up that cause.
It is worth underscoring Cheney’s admonition:
At this moment, we must all summon the courage to stand against that. The question for every one of us is in this time of testing, will we do our duty? Will we defend our Constitution? Will we stand for truth? Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics? Or will we look away from danger, ignore the threat, embrace the lies, and enable the liar? …
I ask all of you to remember this sacred duty that has passed to us; to remember that in our republic some things have to matter. That the defense of our republic, the defense of the constitutional foundations of our nation have to matter. In a republic, there are no bystanders, there are no spectators. As citizens, every one of us has a duty to set aside partisan battles and stand together to perpetuate and preserve our great republic.
That means honest election officials must thwart such plots. It means the Justice Department must act swiftly to prosecute insurrection. It means bar associations and judges must make clear that lawyers who participate in unfounded fraud claims face significant consequences. And it means the media must be candid that the threat to our democracy comes from a radicalized GOP (and treat Republicans accordingly in interviews).
And it means voters who perceive the threat to our democracy must turn out in overwhelming numbers. Nothing less than the survival of democracy is at issue.

America Had 3 Simultaneous Shootings On Wednesday, Less Than 2 Weeks After Uvalde
Four people were killed in Tulsa, a student was shot in Los Angeles and a woman was targeted at a nail salon in Pennsylvania,
As residents in Uvalde, Texas, were burying their children and loved ones this week, Americans in three separate states watched shootings unfold simultaneously in the latest deadly spate of gun violence that has become a uniquely American problem.
Four people were killed in a shooting at a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Wednesday. Police said a gunman carrying a rifle and a handgun opened fire on a hospital campus just before 5 p.m. local time, wounding several others before the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

There's your problem alky.
Just "DO SOMETHING!!!11!" is not an answer. It's never a rational answer to anything, but it's all you clowns know how to do. No matter what ails America, all you ever want to do is "something" to politically posture to and patronize your ignorant base, with absolutely no consideration as to whatever it is you want to "do" has value, has been thought through, is an appropriate response to the problem, or will even fucking WORK.
And "common sense gun control" (LOL) is no exception.
All your common sense gun control is ever designed to do is disarm the law abiding like me. And I'm not your problem.
Idiot leftists fall for that shit every time. Thoughtful conservatives have offered solutions your team rejects out of hand.
So here we are.
There is not a single proposal in the house bill that would have prevented Buffalo or Uvalde or any other mass/school shooting. Meanwhile 51 people were shot in Chicago over the long weekend. 9 died. And you don't care.
You don't seek to solve anything. All you seek is scoring cheap political points.
That's as evil as the scumbags who pulled the triggers.

The 2,000 was actually about a dozen.
Fuentes is accused of collecting ballots during the 2020 primary election in violation of the law that only allows a caregiver or family member to return someone else’s early ballot, and in some cases filling them out.
Her attorney, Ann Chapman, has not responded to repeated inquiries seeking comment, including on Wednesday.
Republicans have rallied around the possibility of widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election where former President Donald Trump was defeated. They’ve pointed to the charges against Fuentes as part of a broader pattern in battleground states.
There is no sign of that in the investigation records, though. They were obtained through a public records request from the Arizona attorney general’s office that was first made in February 2021, but was denied. The AP sent a new request last October after more charges were filed against Fuentes. The attorney general finally provided more than 20 documents laying out the investigation late last week.
The records show that fewer than a dozen ballots could be linked to Fuentes, not enough to make a difference in all but the tightest local races.

Mr. Mueller’s team also charged or obtained guilty pleas from about three dozen people and companies and wrote a lengthy report in less time than Mr. Durham has taken to develop only two indicted cases, the first of which just ended in failure. After the verdict on Tuesday, the jury forewoman told reporters the case should not have been prosecuted.
But on the night of the acquittal, Sean Hannity of Fox News said Mr. Sussmann was “just a small player in this whole case,” and dismissed the verdict as nothing more than political bias among a jury pool drawn from a heavily Democratic district like you said.
Because it is the most dangerous thing going on in the U.S. It is a continuing slow motion coup.
Our country is at the biggest threat in history.

Show your HACK plagiarism, alky.
And stealing it in BOLD doesn't make it more convincing. It does make you look like more of a fool though.
Roger
Mueller got process crimes from a couple of people (Papadopoulos, Flynn) one person with identity theft charges. That was it as it relates specifically to the Russian collusion portion.
Durham already has two guilty pleas and several others who are awaiting trial or charges.
He charged Manafort and Gates (and one of their attorneys) with completely unrelated criminal actions that had nothing to do with Russian collusion.
Cohen and Stone are counted in the list even though Cohen was charged by a separate investigator for a separate investigation and Stone was charged with something to do with wikileaks (and nothing to do with Russian Collusion).
He dropped ALL OF THE CHARGES against the Russian companies after they asked for discovery and a speedy trial and he hasn't gotten a single conviction against any of the 12 other Russians he indicted.
So... it sounds good...
If you are stupid and not paying actual attention.
But at the end of the day...
He proved nothing to do with Russian collusion.
Durham has already proven what he sought out to prove.
That Comey ignored his own people and pushed a partisan investigation without evidence and that Mueller kept the same investigation open for almost two more years... without proving anything.
Because the entire concept of Russian collusion was a Hillary Clinton bought and paid for hoax.
Your wives might be coming to get you guns.
Red flag laws allow family members, close contacts, law enforcement and, in some cases, medical professionals to petition a court for the authority to confiscate a person’s guns and block them from purchasing firearms if they pose a serious risk to themselves or others.
I'm not surprised by this "Comey" Trump fired him and in the end. the FBI was not trying to get rid of the orange monster.

Question.
Did you really "fall for" that story about how Comey proved Russian collusion by listing a bunch of people who either were charged with unrelated crimes or the 15 or so he had to drop charges are admit he had no case?
Are you really that stupid?
Do you still actually believe that the "bad orange man" conspired with Putin? Are you really that mentally ill?
And if you can get a gun after having a restraining order, that speaks volumes of what’s wrong with California.

This is funny.
Let’s start with defining replacement theory. It’s a racist formulation that has migrated from France to far-right American circles to some officials and candidates in the GOP mainstream. In its purest version, the theory maintains that shadowy, left-wing elites—often identified as Jews—are deliberately working to undermine the political influence of native-born white citizens by promoting immigration and other policies that increase racial diversity. This conspiracy theory was the inspiration, if that’s the right word, for the neo-Nazis who chanted during their 2017 march in Charlottesville, Virginia, that “Jews will not replace us.” Where Trump said that there are good people on both side 🙄
Not directly. But he said that Putin is a genius
Not directly. But he said that Putin is a genius
Well you call yourself a genius?
and btw... the Great Replacement Theory is technically a European theory written by a Frenchman. That was the titles of his BOOKS. It has nothing to do with French people migrating to America and everything to do with Muslims and Jews migrating to places like Paris.
and the "Great Replacement Theory" has nothing to do with Tucker Carlson... unless you are an idiot and believe anything you are told.
Do you believe everything you are told Roger?
You can't even get that right!

Hardening schools would have done nothing to prevent this shooting,” he insisted. “In fact, there were guards and police officers already at the school yesterday when the shooter showed up. … The shooter got past all of them with two assault weapons that he purchased. They couldn’t stop him.”
Schumer’s statement turned out to be false – there were no school resource officers on duty at Robb Elementary that day. But Democratic politicians aren’t exactly known for letting the truth get in the way, are they?
Nevertheless, I have decided to do the country a favor. I have been convinced that Democrats are right. Hardening schools won’t save a single life because guns are the problem.
I propose that President Biden disband the Secret Service and immediately dismantle all security measures in the White House. Every single armed guard at the Capitol building should be fired immediately. Remove all metal detectors in Congress. Disable and destroy all surveillance cameras in the White House, Capitol Building, and the Supreme Court. Hell, every single federal government building should become soft targets. This can probably be accomplished in a week or two.
But that’s not all. Let’s do the same for state and local governments as well. Disassemble each and every tool in every government building that is designed to protect the individuals working inside. If our small children don’t need these security measures, our government officials don’t need them either.
Think of all the taxpayer money that will be saved!
Since guns are the problem, not employing security measures to stop men using those guns is the very best strategy we can employ. Read my words: No. More. Security. Measures.
I realize this might cause hardships for security companies and the armed guards that work with them. But who cares?
We have to do something

What a moron...
My son's school has two entrances. One had people there at all time and generally a cop stationed. The other you need to be buzzed in.
Guess what...
99% of the Parents want that security and cop on duty...
So some idiot politician with a bone to pick and no kids in school can pretend somehow that there is "gun legislation" that will keep kids save if he wants..
The only question is who is "crazy" (as in living in a lock down facility crazy) enough to believe him?
Oh... how about you Roger?
You fit the bill? You and your inmate friends believe this nonsense?
While you obsess about the "bad orange man" who hasn't been President in 16 months? Oooohhhhh... is he under your bed tweeting mean things!
'How much more carnage are we willing to accept?'

President Biden

To show how stupid you are
Is he talking about inflation, immigration, formula shortages, city violence? What?
Today, President Biden called for banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in a prime-time address to the nation from the White House in which he asked, “For God’s sake, how much more carnage are willing to accept?” Biden said that if assault weapons can’t be banned, the age to purchase such weapon should be raised to 21. Biden also called for red-flag laws, a repeal of the liability shield for gun manufacturers and a “safe-storage” law.
He said lawmakers should reinstate the ban on assault weapons, like AR-15s, and a ban on high capacity magazines. If those weapons aren’t banned, the age to purchase them should be raised to 21 from 18.
“Why in God’s name should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault weapon that holds 30 round magazines, that lets mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes,” Biden said.
Biden said Congress should also strengthen background checks, including requiring them at gun shows and online sales, and enact safe storage and red flag laws and repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability.
He also called for actions to address mental health, including more school counselors and other mental health services for students and teachers.
“I’ll never give up. If Congress fails, I believe this time a majority of American people won’t give up either,” Biden said. “I believe the majority of you will act to turn outrage to make sure this issue is central to your vote. Enough, enough, enough.
The evening remarks from the White House came after another mass shooting in Oklahoma Wednesday, when four people were killed after a gunman opened fire inside a Tulsa hospital.
He said Second Amendment rights aren’t absolute, citing limitations on machine guns as an example. “This isn’t about taking away anyone’s rights. It’s about protecting children. It’s about protecting families.” He added: “How much more carnage are we willing to accept?”

What will we be doing as a nation?” he asked, while families of victims mourn. He described meeting with the sister of a teacher murdered in Uvalde, whose husband died of a heart attack in the aftermath. Their four children are now left as orphans.
Biden said she asked him what she could say to her nieces and nephews. His response, was just to hold them tight.
After reflecting on that heartbreaking moment and the others he’s had meeting with families, he called on the American people to make a change.
“It is time for each of us to do our part” he said, “for the children we lost and the children we can save.”
“Let us finally do something” he repeated. “God bless the families that are hurting. God bless you all.”
Ending with a prayer, he closed his remarks.

Biden has called for the age requirements to be raised and for the gun lobby to be reeled in.
He also focused on mental health issues. “Even before the pandemic young people were hurting” he said, pushing for more counselors for students and teachers.
After outlining what he would do, he pushed on Congress, asking what legislators would do. Saying that refusing to pass new restrictions is “unconscionable” he said he would never give up.
“We can’t fail the American people again” he said.
Btw Roger...
The person was literally being sarcastic.
You just didn't catch it.
More to the point, my issue was about what Schumer and the other politicians were saying (not the mocking). Those politicians who are actually pushing "against" a bill that would harden schools in terms of security.
Did you really not understand that the guy was mocking Schumer and the other politicians who are against school security because somehow that takes away from "gun control"?
Tell me you are not THAT dumb?

Biden appeals for tougher gun laws: ‘How much more carnage?’
By WILL WEISSERT and ZEKE MILLERa few seconds ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden delivered an impassioned plea to Congress to take action against gun violence in an address to the nation Thursday night, calling on lawmakers to restore a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines after a string of mass shootings. If legislators fail to act, he warned, voters should use their “outrage” to turn gun violence into a central issue in November’s midterm elections.
Speaking at the White House, Biden acknowledged the stiff political headwinds as he sought to drive up pressure on Congress to pass stricter gun limits after such efforts failed following past attacks. He said if Congress won’t embrace all of his proposals, they must at least find compromise on other measures, like limiting access to firearms to those with mental health issues or raising the age to buy assault-style weapons from 18 to 21.
“How much more carnage are we willing to accept,” Biden said after last week’s shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.
I knew it was sarcastic but unfortunately you would have supported it if Trump had said
Republicans have argued that Democrats are not taking into account mental health and other factors that cause shootings.

“This is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” Biden said. “It’s not not about vilifying gun owners.”
However, Biden cited former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ― a conservative icon ― who had declared that the Second Amendment was “not unlimited.”
A ten-year federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004, and an attempt to revive it following the massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a decade ago failed in the face of bipartisan opposition.
But shows strong support for additional restrictions in the aftermath of the Texas elementary school shooting and ahead of November’s crucial midterm elections. Nearly two-thirds of Americans surveyed in a Politico/Morning Consult poll last week said they support stricter gun control laws, with 44% saying they were “strongly” in favor.
That represents an uptick, driven by Republican and independent voters, from the immediate aftermath of Buffalo shooting.
If McConnell can avoid a filibuster it might get the 60 votes.

Even Newsmax believes that Putin has cancer and has survived an assaination in March
President Putin appears in public every day. You can see him on the screens, read his speeches, listen to his speeches," Lavrov told French media TF1. "I don't think sane people can discern any sort of symptom of disease in this man."
A report published Sunday by the Sunday Mirror quoted an officer from the FSB, Russia's main intelligence service, who claimed Putin, 69, was given three years to live.
The officer described Putin's condition as a "severe form of rapidly progressing cancer" and said he had "no more than two to three years left."
Additionally, he said, Putin was losing his sight and suffering from headaches.
They also think that his generals would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Sheriff: Two people shot at an Ames church parking lot, shooter also killed
Des Moines Register staff
Three people were shot in a parking lot outside Ames' Cornerstone Church Thursday night, Story County Sheriff Capt. Nicholas Lennie said.
Three people were shot in a parking lot outside Ames' Cornerstone Church Thursday night, Story County Sheriff Capt. Nicholas Lennie said.
One of the dead is believed to be the shooter, Lennie said.
Lennie said several 911 calls came in at 6:51 p.m. as a program was going on at church. The church hosts a regular Thursday evening event for its youth ministry, the Salt Company.
Officials said the shooting happened in the parking lot of the church as others were inside. Hours later there were still people inside the church as well as in the parking lot.
Law enforcement officials on Thursday did not release details on the weapon used in the shooting. Lennie said there was not an ongoing threat to the public and more details would be released later Thursday.
People console each other after a shooting outside Cornerstone Church Thursday, June 2, 2022 in Ames, Iowa
Cornerstone Church, a megachurch with dozens of staff, is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 30 and Interstate 35 in Ames. The church sits just south of Lake Wesley.
The church is also framed by CrossRoad Baptist Church and the Iowa Department of Transportation Maintenance Garage. Beyond that are sprawling fields. Across the street from the church is the 3ts All Star Sports Academy. To its west, on the other side of I-35, are DMACC and Durham School Services, as well as a handful of businesses.
The church, according to its website, was founded in 1994 from a college ministry at Iowa State University called The Salt Company, which is still the name of the church's university ministry. It counted some 500 student members at the time and claims to have been the largest student organization at ISU.
The Cornerstone website says it is now a "multigenerational church with a passion to reach the next generation of college students with the Gospel."
The Salt Company's website claims about 1,300 students gather every Thursday night during the school year.
The shooting in Ames follows several high-profile mass shootings. Ten people were killed at Buffalo, New York, grocery store on May 14. Twenty-one people — including 19 students — were killed at a Uvalde, Texas school on May 24. And four people were killed at a Tulsa, Oklahoma medical building Wednesday.
Earlier on Thursday, President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass sweeping gun control legislation.
In the days immediately after the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings, both the president and Vice President Kamala Harris largely stayed away from any direct negotiations with lawmakers about how to create a response to the shootings that can pass in Congress.
But on Thursday, Mr. Biden abandoned that approach, deciding instead to lay down a marker that will cement his legacy as a president who fought for tougher gun laws, successful or not.
In his speech on Thursday, Mr. Biden described the deep grief that he experienced when he and his wife talked to the families of victims in the two mass shootings.
“At both places, we spent hours with hundreds of family members, who were broken, whose lives will never be the same,” he said. “They had one message for all of us: Do something. Just do something. For God’s sake, do something.”
“How much more carnage are we willing to accept?” he asked. “How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say: Enough. Enough.”
Nobody is coming to get you guns
By the way, I heard the report of the woman who used a pistol to kill a man armed with an assault weapon who was threatening others.
More power to her!
Biden is right.
Assault weapons should be banned.
They won't be, but they should be.
This is exactly why assault weapons should be banned.
At the time the second amendment was added to the constitution, reload time for the guns was about a minute and all of them were single-shot weapons. By contrast, the Las Vegas killer in 2017 sprayed more than a thousand bullets out his hotel window to kill 60 people in a 10-minute period. The teenager in Buffalo who killed 10 Black shoppers and an armed security guard was not a well-regulated militia, and neither was the antisemite who killed 11 in the synagogue in Pittsburgh, or the homophobe who killed 49 and wounded 53 in an Orlando nightclub, or the anti-immigration butcher in El Paso who killed 23 and wounded 23 or the childkiller who took 26 lives in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 of them six and seven-year-old children.
At 7:48 p.m., President 0Joe Biden wrapped up his speech on 0gun violence in America, exhorting 0Congress to pass gun control laws.
“For God’s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept? How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say ‘enough’? Enough,” he said.
Just three minutes later, 911 calls started coming in in Ames, Iowa.
There was another shooting.
Story County Sheriff’s Capt. Nicholas Lennie said 0three people were killed in a parking lot outside Ames’ Cornerstone Church on Thursday night, including one who was believed to be the shooter.

The American people aren’t asking for much – they just want to go to the grocery store, send their kids to school, go to church, and walk the streets without getting shot down. If the Senate can’t meet that basic need, this country is in deep trouble.

And your side's reflexive "go to" in every case is to demand that the American people give up their God-given basic human right to self-defense. To disarm the law-abiding. To punish those who have done nothing wrong. And to hang a "Gun-Free Zone" over all of America so that only the criminals are armed.
All under the guise that we must "DO SOMETHING!!!11!"; giving it no thought, considering none of the consequences - intended or unintended - of your actions, in a very cheap and very sleazy attempt to pander, with your only true consideration being how to capitalize and profit politically from it.
We piss away $40 BILLION to an assclown comic in Eastern Europe when that $$$$$ could be spent to harden every public school on America.
The list of who and what we protect with hardened facilities and armed guards in America is long, but what that list does not contain is the most precious of all - our children, who are our future. FJB has made it crystal clear that he rejects hardening our schools, preferring instead to disarm law-abiding citizens. This is stupid and it's wrong, but it's where we are until you clowns decide to put the politics aside and focus on real solutions.

“Republicans have no answers. There’s no economic agenda. Where’s their jobs plan for the last 10 years? Where the hell is their health care plan? They don’t have one. They’re bankrupt as a party. And, in addition to that, they accommodate and embrace these loopy theories and racist theories about how we should live our lives starting with Q-Anon.”
— Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who is “not quite known to breathe rhetorical fire,” quoted by Politico.
Rev..... the GOP never has answers....just slimy answers to direct questions so they make no commitment other than feeding their base voters....They do not care for anything but their own personal wants and agenda....Like rat worried about a fetus while kids are being killed with guns....sad commentary for the entire party!!!!
Republicans have no answers.
Democrats own the House, the Senate, and the White House. They 'won' those majorities on several promises and claims to have the 'answers' you seek, pederast.
Since then, everything the democrats have touched has turned to complete shit.
Embrace the suck of your party and its failures, and don't try to pawn your shit show off on the GOP claiming they don't have 'answers.'
Eat shit. Die in a fire.
The only reason why the Government would want to disarm you after 243 years is because they intend to do something that you would shoot them for.

The pedo doesn't listen to republicans, only Goddard.
We need to have hardened schools.
We need to keep criminals in jail and not release them early.
There should be no "equity" on gun crimes, prosecute and punish them
Protect the border and stop illegal immigration
prosecute all people who lie on existing law on their background checks
When the FBI learns of threats act
When an incident occurs go in
shoot to kill
These would make a huge difference in crime and murders nationwide. And while the few 100 who have died in mass shootings by AR15's over the years, they pale to the number of children dying each year to drugs. They represent just a pimple.
And as a matter of fact if the Texas shooter had gone in with a handgun he still could have killed all those children. Easily.
Schools and society has failed, not citizens wanting to protect themselves because policing has been compromised by the democrats
And patriotic Americans wanting to be ready for the increasing tyranny the democrats represent
Lastly any gun law enacted must not carve out exclusions for politicians.
And prosecute hunter Biden
Just not in Washington DC

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for March was revised down by 30,000, from +428,000 to +398,000, and the change for April was revised up by 8,000, from +428,000 to +436,000. With these revisions, employment in March and April combined is 22,000 lower than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.) _____________ The Employment Situation for June is scheduled to be released on Friday, July 8, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. (ET).
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure from high inflation and rising interest rates.
Last month’s gain reflects a resilient job market that has so far shrugged off concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises interest rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate remained a low 3.6% in May, just above a half-century low, the Labor Department said Friday.
The job growth in May was high enough to keep the Fed on track to pursue what’s likely to be the fastest series of rate hikes in more than 30 years. Stock market futures fell Friday after the government released the jobs report, reflecting that concern.
Businesses in many industries remain desperate to hire because their customers have kept spending freely despite intensifying concerns about high inflation. Americans’ finances have been buoyed by rising pay and an unusually large pile of savings that were accumulated during the pandemic, particularly by higher-income households.
Workers, in general, are enjoying nearly unprecedented bargaining power. The number of people who are quitting jobs, typically for better positions at higher pay, has been at or near a record high for six months.
Why would you post this? We all know the national economy deliberately shut down back in 2020.
Nearly every large industry added workers in May. One major exception was retail, which shed nearly 61,000 positions. Some large retailers, including Walmart and Target, have reported disappointing sales and earnings. Last month, Walmart said it had over-hired and then reduced its head count through attrition.
Construction companies added 36,000 jobs, a hopeful sign for Americans who have bought new homes that aren’t yet built because of labor and parts shortages. Shipping and warehousing companies, still struggling to keep up with growing online commerce, added 47,000 jobs. Restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues hired 84,000.
The strength of the job market is itself contributing to inflationary pressures. With wages rising across the economy, companies are passing on at least some of their increased labor costs to their customers in the form of higher prices. The costs of food, gas, rent and other items – which fall disproportionately on lower-income households -- are accelerating at nearly the fastest pace in 40 years.
Inflation had begun surging last year as spiking demand for cars, furniture, electronic equipment and other physical goods collided with overwhelmed supply chains and parts shortages. More recently, prices for such services as airline tickets, hotel rooms and restaurant meals have jumped as Americans have shifted more of their spending to those areas.
To try to cool spending and slow inflation, the Fed last month raised its short-term rate by a half-point, its biggest hike since 2000, to a range of 0.75% to 1%. Two additional half-point rate increases are expected this month and in July. And some Fed officials have suggested in recent speeches that if inflation doesn’t show signs of slowing, they could implement yet another half-point increase in September.
The Fed’s moves have already sharply elevated mortgage rates and contributed to drops in sales of new and existing homes. The rate hikes have also magnified borrowing costs for businesses, which may respond by reducing their investment in new buildings and equipment, slowing growth in the process.
It's half way through 2022!
pedo posted "Where’s their jobs plan for the last 10 years?"
Well Trump was blowing the door off good solid jobs before Covid hit
He was bringing back jobs to America through negotiated factory relocations
getting us out of bad trade "deals" and negotiating better ones
He was cutting burdensome regulations at a record pace
the list goes on
He was doing something
rather than talking tough while reading a teleprompter
barely
hey pedo what on the long list I provided on Republican ideas about crime and guns did you oppose ?
or are you waiting for Goddard to post something in his blog ?
* or roger to just spam the hell out of the blog
like that is a real "response" or thought
ROFLMFAO !!!

EXPERT: Biden “Hasn’t Added One Single Job from 2019 High Watermark”
“The economy – and this is an important point – hasn’t added one single job from the 2019 high watermark. Not one. All the jobs that we have seen gained are recovered jobs that were lost. We are not yet producing new jobs.”
“In fact, we’re still about nearly four million jobs short. So these wage gains are coming on top of a shrinking workforce, and it’s not being fueled by productivity enhancements.”
https://gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/expert-biden-hasnt-added-one-single-job-from-2019-high-watermark/
Economists have estimated that the nation added a solid 325,000 jobs last month, down from 428,000 in both March and April, according to forecasts compiled by FactSet, a data provider. If so, that would snap a record-breaking streak of 12 straight months in which job growth had topped 400,000. The unemployment rate is expected to slip to 3.5% — matching a half-century low — from 3.6%.
GOP Pravda
Lmao 🤣
Hey roger
When will the many tens of millions of workers who have lost income under Biden, including last month, start to actually see a real wage increase
You know more money in their pockets, not less ?
I'd think that would be important to hundreds of millions of Americans
After months of robust hiring, U.S. employers might have pulled back slightly in May, to levels that would still be consistent with a healthy job market, despite high inflation and rising borrowing costs.

The economy has created 8.6 million jobs since January 20th 2021.
Statement by President Biden on the April Jobs Report
MAY 06, 2022STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Today, we learned that the economy created 428,000 jobs in April – bringing the total number of jobs created since I took office to 8.3 million: record setting job creation in my first 15 months in office. Our plans and policies have produced the strongest job creation economy in modern times. The unemployment rate now stands at 3.6% —the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded. There have been only 3 months in the last 50 years where the unemployment rate in America is lower than it is now. This is a direct result of the American Rescue Plan, our COVID vaccination program, and my plan to grow our economy from the bottom up and middle out. When I took office, there were around 20 million people relying on unemployment benefits to feed their families; today, that number is around 1 million – the lowest since 1970. We are building an economy that values the dignity of work.
There’s no question that inflation and high prices are a challenge for families across the country, and fighting inflation is a top priority for me. The continued strength of our job market and the savings that families have built up over the last year means that our economy faces the challenges of COVID-19, Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and global inflation from a position of strength. There’s more work to do. I encourage Congressional Republicans to join us in our efforts to lower prices for families across the country, by making more in America, strengthening our supply chains, and cutting the energy and prescription drug costs.
Rrb is full of shit.

On June 9th the hearings will begin
Expert testimony is always important in hearings like this to educate the public about complex issues. Axios reported this week that they plan to call conservative Republican former federal judge, J. Michael Luttig, a man who was shortlisted more than once for a Supreme Court seat. Luttig advised Former Vice President Mike Pence on the illegality of overthrowing the government. (Evidently, Pence wasn't sure ...)
Republicans are obviously worried that some of their troops might tune in and see something that will shake their faith in the Big Lie.

By doling out TRILLION$ under the guise of 'Covid relief' to pay people to NOT work.
The sheer brilliance of this strategery cannot be overstated.
LOL.
Bottom up economics

The middle class is getting a higher percentage of the GDP
There are STILL 11.5 MILLION OPEN jobs.
We haven't come close to restoring what's been destroyed, and FJB has set out to destroy it all over again.
The only thing 'historic' about any of this is how historically fucking STUPID it's all been.
Last month’s gain reflects a still-healthy job market despite concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate was unchanged at a low 3.6%, the Labor Department said Friday.
But if you step back and look at the big picture, this is still an exceptionally strong pace of hiring.
Historical job growth 🙌
Top down economics suck for average workers.
The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers.
The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%.
Compared to President Joe Biden

If your "comparison" doesn't account for the intentional destruction caused by our idiotic Covid response, it's an intellectually dishonest comparison.
In other words, you have to tell one big fucking whopper of a lie to make Joey Sprinkles look good.
Too bad it won't help you in November, alky.
