Before Donald Trump became president, he famously said he could shoot some dead in the middle of 5th Avenue, and he would still be elected. But what if Donald Trump shot not one person dead on 5th Avenue but instead shot ten people dead per day since he took office. Shooting ten people dead per [...]
Mitch McConnel should be removed as Senate Majority Leader or at least censured for his dangerous and irresponsible comments that states should consider bankruptcy instead of the federal government providing them emergency funds for the pandemic. I know neither will happen but here is why I believe he should be: 1. States declaring bankruptcy [...]
A portion of a message sent to Sen. Rob Portman (R) and Rep. David Joyce (R) by a reader. The information and article below are deeply disturbing Trump Clamps Down on the Truth First AG Bar says no investigations of candidates without his personal approval (meaning not Trump but everyone else is fair game) and [...]
Dear Congressman Joyce, I understand the political blowback you would have face if you voted for the resolution rebuking Trump's racist tweets. Nevertheless, I am saddened and deeply disappointed my representative didn't stand up to the president's racist approach to politics. Before I wrote this email, I read the EEOC's definition of racist comments. [...]
It’s hard to take Republican fauxrage seriously about Benghazi when they voted down gun checks that could help reduce the deaths of 30+ people a day who die from guns. It’s hard to take Republican fauxrage seriously about the first on air statements by Amb. Rice said about Benghazi attach as being Clinton’s fault when [...]
Outrage is the legitimate feeling you instinctively get when something is outrageous. � Fauxrage is what politicians exhibit when they think it serves their purpose.
The biggest factor affecting demand for guns and ammo is fear, and more fear is generated when it is easier, not harder, for criminals and those deemed unfit to own weapons due to serious mental illness to get guns. Additional fear-driven increased gun sales are generated when the NRA promotes the false assertion that universal [...]
Always Thinking First, who determines when it’s time to overthrow or even just shoot at the duly elected government, police and the US military? Isn’t that against the law and why we have elections and our form of government? How many angry militant second amendment rights people with semi automatic weapons will it [...]
The NRA’s influence on government officials and policy is solely focused on the interests of the profit-making gun and ammo manufacturers and against the interest of the vast majority of Americans, even most NRA members and gun owners. Tyrannical rule is not when elected officials impose constitutionally allowed and reasonable restrictions on gun ownership and [...]
With 90% of Americans, 80% of Republicans and a similar percent of gun owners, including NRA members, supporting universal background checks 46 US Senators, mostly Republicans but also some Democrats, voted to block the passing by majority vote of even the watered down bill that would have expanded background checks to include sales at gun [...]
Besides military and law enforcement, I can see that there are some reasons why some people might need an assault weapon and high capacity magazines. But there are very few cases. Well trained, licensed and disciplined guards of high security buildings and armored cars might benefit from these types of weapons. If you need to [...]
Instead of making it harder for people to bring high capacity assault type weapons into schools, the NRA’s solution to keeping kids safe is to bring more guns into schools. What a great marketing strategy! I’m not saying that in some schools, in some neighborhoods, trained, disciplined, armed police are not warranted. But guns in [...]
At the first presidential debate this is something Romney said this about his own sons' veracity which also revealed somethings about himself. ROMNEY: “Look, I’ve got five boys I’m used to people saying something that’s not always true but just keep repeating it and ultimately hoping I’ll believe it. But that is not the case.” [...]
For Obama supporters the first presidential debate was clearly disappointing. Romney used baldfaced lies to win but he did win if you came to the debate not knowing about his real positions. What happened to Obama? Was he tired, ill prepared, caught off guard or what? Most people think it was one of those or [...]
I have always assumed that Romney’s tax statements over the past 10 years would show a rich financially astute businessman who took advantage of every legal means of reducing his taxes. I wouldn’t be happy that he probably paid a lower tax rate than I do but it would be in keeping with super wealthy [...]
In response to Sen. Reid’s statement that he has been told from an unnamed but reliable source that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years, Mr. Romney said Reid should Put Up or Shut Up by giving out the name of the unnamed source. I can’t help but remembering Romney’s statement earlier in the campaign [...]
When talking about the new ObamaCare benefits for women's health, I heard commentators on MSNBC (as well as other networks) and Democratic members of Congress and the Senate talking about these new FREE benefits women, like birth control, mammograms, etc., will be getting starting in August of 2012. These benefits are not FREE. They are [...]
If taking away basic necessities like healthcare, food assistance programs, unemployment insurance payments is supposed to motivate the poor and unemployed to work harder, get a job (or a second or third job) then why isn't increasing the taxes on the rich a great way to motivate them to work harder creating more jobs, starting [...]
There are only a few reasons I can think of why an American like Mitt Romney would put, or allow to be put, a substantial amount of their wealth in offshore bank accounts. To evade US taxes (which is illegal) To avoid US taxes (which is legal but not always patriotic) Because he doesn't trust American banks [...]
