Pistol Pete Reintroduces World to 1950’s Telephone Party Line
Never one to pass up the opportunity to pump up a party, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth has gone retro and started using the free commercial phone app Signal that lets people listen in to his cool defense department ideas like missile deployment and bombing run dates. “That’s Pete,” said Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. He’ll get a wild hair, spike up a martini, and call a meeting. Usually he prattles on about missiles and drones and army stuff. It gets kind of confusing. But he’s all about transparency and having a good time, so it’s nice he figured out a way to provide a chat room that is so easily accessible.
With pressure mounting concerning the appropriatness of using a commercial app to conduct a defense department conference involving classified material, President Trump had this to say. “There was no classified information involved. I know because I’m the president and can declassify anything I want. So if this was classified, I now declare it unclassified. I dont’ know if it was classified because this is the first I’ve heard about this thing, whatever it is. But this is another example of the lame-stream media pushing their Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there’s no one more deranged than this Atlantic magazine guy. It’s a crappy magazine by the way. Sales are way down. Nobody reads it. This is the guy that should be going to jail! This Goldberg guy. He should have spoken up! It’s like the old Ma Bell party line. Remember that? Back in the 50’s. We love the 50’s don’t we. We had a party line when I was little. Lot’s of yelling on the phone back then. ‘Get off the phone! It’s my turn!’ Old man Snyder. Big man, old man, always hogging the phone line. It’s like that. Get off the line! This whole thing is just a big hoax. Another witch hunt! Guys like Goldberg are scum, always nosing around where they have no business. How the hell did this guy get on this call anyway?”
Seriously, that is a very large question. We do know the “who” part. That is National Security Advisor Mike Walz. The Jeff Goldberg chat invite came from him and he admitted it. Entwined in the obfuscation and flat out lying by participants in this monumental fiasco is that undeniable fact he had to admit was true. Given that taking responsibilty for anything by anyone in the Trump administration is the moral and political equivalent of a root canal procedure, at least Walz didn’t try to muck things up with typical Republican denial and deflection. But when it came to the “how” part, watching him try and explain that to Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham was downright painful to watch. Somehow Goldberg’s phone number just got “sucked in” to Walz’s phone, according to Walz. So Walz figured, and probably rightfully so knowing Trump’s distain for unfaltering media, it was less damning to admit to using a device that vacuums up phone numbers from strangers than admitting he has had conversations with Goldberg.
You can bet Trump is very concerned about the “how.” Walz knows that. And whenever he thinks about his vindictive boss contemplating the “how,” his response, one typically barely heard, could very well be audible to anyone in the next room. What Walz has to say about the “how” in that context is “Gulp.”
Trump Changes Mind. New Official U.S. Language Will be Russian
Just a few days after proclaiming English as the official language of the United States, President Trump has changed his mind and decided Russian will be his choice going forward. The modification is yet another example of the president’s implementation of his plan to think on the fly during his second administration. Confusing vacillations on tariffs, firing then rehiring federal employees, cutting off and then reinstating funds for federal agencies, on then off then on again with military and intelligence aid to Ukraine, are examples of his current approach to governing, a stategy you would typically recognize if you are the caretaker of someone with advanced dementia. And one must not forget his signature volte-face. After campaigning on the promise to lower food prices on day one of his presidency, by day 45 he decided that a more satisfying experience for the country’s citizens would be to reward them with “a little bit of pain.” The Big Waffle
It has emerged that there are a couple of recent decisions the president plans to flip-flop on in the next few days. He has decided to rescind his posthumous pardon of baseball legend Pete Rose after he found out about all the bases he stole. And he has soured on his support of the proposed Trump/Gaza revitalization plan since he learned the golden statue of his image was only eight stories tall. Now We Know Why Trump Inspected Fort Knox

Will Racism Get Trump Elected?
Just what is the GOP going to do about Mark Robinson? The North Carolina Republican candidate for governor has given the party the political equivalent of an atomic wedgie. Recent revelations about inflammatory comments he made on a pornographic website a decade past have understandably left party leaders flumoxed. A few of them appear to have some reservations about Robinson’s character, but they are sticking with him. After all, Robinson already had a known history of racist and mysogynistic remarks and this is one of Trump’s hand picked characters. Martin Luther King on steroids, as Trump believes. It isn’t a logical leap to conclude Trump sees something of himself in Robinson. Everything except skin color of course. Interesting fact. Robinson once called Martin Luther King “Martin Lucifer Koon” and on this porn site messaging board described himself as a black Nazi and said he condones slavery.
I can’t get my head around that last thing- a black man condoning slavery. In fact Robinson said if that was the case he would go buy a couple. So I don’t get it, but what it does for me is put a fine point on America’s continued burden- racism.
I have never been an intransigent racist, but there was a time when I was ignorantly bigoted. I grew up in Sheridan Wyoming, at the time a city with few Hispanics. Though I never saw him, it was pointed out to me there was a Black man who lived in town, and worked as a food server at the local Elks Club. The first Black person I actually saw was the conductor on a passenger train I took in high school. When I attended college at Creighton University’s School of Pharmacy in Omaha Nebraska in the mid 1960’s, there were only a few Blacks on campus. My friends were all white and about as racially naive as I was. Racial slurring and joking was something I am embarrased to say were things I participated in.
My perspective of race started to morph in 1969. The summmer of that year a Black teenage girl, Vivian Strong, was carelessly shot in the head by a cop, and within hours the local Black community went up in flames. I lived with four classmates a couple of miles away, and as the evening turned dark we noticed that the horizon was lit up in bright amber. My friends and I reached a consensus that that was something we should definitely investigate. We drove to the perimiter of the destruction where a group of agitated Black men alerted us to our folly from which our quick thinking driver deftly managed to extricate us from. That episode has been an enduring memory. I figured then maybe there was something to all the racial unrest I had been hearing about.
There were lingering prejudices. In the 1980’s I was a Reagan Republican. As an employed pharmacist I felt I was a direct witness to a few of Reagan’s “welfare queens.” But for me that was an economic issue more than race. At that time I resented the entire welfare system. Most of my friends felt the same way. Over time, I became more open minded. A lot of it had to do with pharmacy, the price of medication in particular. Drug prices started accelerating in the mid 1990’s and I delt with a lot of people without insurance who really struggled to pay for their prescriptions. The cost of insulin unrelentingly increased every 4 months or so for no apparent reason except greed. I can’t say I became a bleeding heart liberal, but by the time Bernie Sanders started pounding away with his criticism of the 1 percenters, I found myself agreeing with him. And by then I had a very close Black friend who occasionally reminded me of my white privelge with his stories of unprevoked traffic stops by law enforcement.
Ever since the civil rights legislation in the 1960’s I always felt this country was making racial progress, that for every step backward, we made a couple steps forward. I was confident my own experience was verification. And then along came Trump. The Republican candidate for president stepped off his golden escaltor and delivered an insultingly racial speach that horrified the plurality of people who heard it, but triggered an awakening of prejudicial animosity in many others.
it’s no secret I do not hold Trump in high esteem. He is a convicted sex offender , convict, racist, and all around shallow human being. One thing you have to appreciate though is his cunning ability to recognize vulnerability. He saw someting in the Republican party that he could take advantage of. Starting with Black civil rights, party elites started taking positions that would ultimately attract a different party base than the one previous Next it was opposition to the Equal Rights Ammendment, abortion rights then LGBTQ rights. Trump realized the real glue that would hold MAGA together is racial animus and resentment towards minorities. Read Activating Animus
It is difficult to deny that Trump has moved Republican politics toward the hard edge “us vs them” view that dominates the GOP base. Still, it’s a sensitive issue with Republicans. Accuse one of being racist you will no doubt provoke a hostile denial, Of course not all Republicans are racist, but there are many who are not afraid and even proud to project it. Simple observation of Trump’s hard core MAGA crowd at one of his rallies you will get the feeling you were time-shifted back to the Berlin Sportpalast in 1932. THIS is racism. American Reich
Why do we have to get ’em the hell out? Because they are Black! Straining services and driving up housing costs is MAGA bullshit. Those things are happening as they naturally would anywhere there is a sudden inlux of residents But that’s not the claim made by Trump and Vance as they hyped this crap. It has everything to do with ‘demonizing and other-izing people who have already suffered enough that they chose to leave the nation of their birth. They did so exactly the way the MAGA people who claim to have “no problem with legal immigration” said they should. They went through the system. They got their paperwork. And their reward is bomb threats. Because, I’ll say it again, they’re Black’ ( Michael Ian Black- The Daily Beast)
What Trump failed to mention during his eviction notice speach is the chaos in Springfiled is of his and Vance’s own making. They found this ficticious, outlandish conspiratorial story about Haitians eating pets on social media and continue to promulgated it even after it has been disproven and denounced by anyone even remotely involved, as well as every state and city official. It is an inconceivably cruel stunt to perpetrate, nevermind these two are positioning themsleves to run the country. Trump is definately a racist. He will absurdly try to deny that charge, but here is his racist history if you care to read it. Yes It’s as Bad as You’ve Heard
Trump is counting on like minded people to propell him to the presidency. Racism really is the glue that cements his base together and solidly with him. How many citizens are truly that bigoted? It’s a substantial number if you believe the polls. All those rally attendees are certainly in his corner. They can’t get enough of all the hootin’ and hollerin’ that goes on at one of those things. However, just maybe some of those people go to his perfomances only for that- the entertainment. It indeed is a show. Trump as the entertainer is the real motivator of the MAGA movement. It did not take him long to realise what worked best as performance schtick was fear, hate and racism. It is how he once got elected, how he maintains his base, and anything uttered that is appaling is sane-washed as being just part of the entertainment. Just Trump being Trump.
Maga world loves a show, and boy they really got one the last week end of October at Madison Square Garden. This was racist ecstasy for the Maga crowd. The MAGA Reality Show A regular smorgasbord of crass racism and mysoginistic crudeness, interspaced with nazi innuendo, like Representative Byron Donalds walking onto the stage to the tune of “Dixie.”
Of course Trump isn’t going to disavow this stuff. He lives for the adulation of the crowd, and he is well aware nothing juces his crowds more than racist slurs and minority denigration. What the Trump campaign offered in the way of abjuration for the offensive remarks at the Garden was what you would expect. It was delivered by JD Vance and basically it was reiteration of how the country in general has come to accept Trump repugnancy- no big deal, it’s just the way of Trump and we should be used to it.
According to Vance, the rally was a fun fest that we shouldn’t take seriously and people should quit being so sensitive. The Comedy Roast that Never Ends Vance says he is “over it.” Really? Does that mean he and Trump will quit featuring blatant racial denigration as their main driver in this election? Of course not. Every rally, every speach Trump delivers is a plunge into a national dystopia and it is always immigrants and minorities who are responsible for it.
Is Trump a racist? It’s pretty difficult from all we see from him to conclude he is not. Is everyone who supports Trump a racist? Of couse not. But if you are not offended by at least the volume of racist remarks Trump makes, you likley are a racist. Even if you can claim to just be numb to all the degrading remarks, it’s hard to believe that fawning over his every word wouldn’t trigger inherent prejudice.
For sure many of the people attending a Trump rally are racists. Those people see nothing wrong with the constant vilification of minorities. But in rebuttle to Vance’s comment that the Garden rally was all in good fun, I would point out that you make racism your perpetual theme, it is not funny at all. It is not funny when an entire community is terrorized by lies you spred about Haitians eating pets in Springfield. It’s not funny when a Latino gas station attendant in Florida gets punched in the head by a white man who gets caught on a survailence camera uttering “this is for Trump.” It’s not funny when a man explains to police the reason why he threatened to kill a Syrian born man was because he wanted him to “get out of my country” and “That’s why I like Trump.” Haters Gotta Hate
It is that resurrection of our prejudices that is so alarming. Overcoming flat out racism is a monumental challenge. As a country we have been working on irradicating it for over 240 years. That is why, or at least one of the main reasons why, Trump is so dangerous. He incites people to do their worst. Trump is especially proficient at doing so at his rallies. If your underlying bias and prejudice is buried under years of racial progress and you attend a Trump rally, it’s not difficult to imagine how those atitudes could resurface and progress to something vehemently racial. It’s the tactic of a fascist tyrant.
I do believe Trump is a racist, and that is something completely antithetical to what America is. We do have an immigration problem. It has been ignored for decades. Ironically, Trump, in his first year in office, had a very good chance of doing something about it. He seemed sincerely adamant about initiating immigration legislation, including funding for a border wall, but he caved when the ultra conservative wing of his party refused to make any consensions concerning DACA recipients. More disgracefully, when he was not in office but still leveraging his MAGA clout, he torpedoed a bill written and backed by very conservative legistators only because he wanted to keep the immigration discord alive so he could use it as a political, election tool. The man thinks only about himself.
Another Trump administration would be enormously threatening in multiple ways. He is a careless, vindictive man bent on alloting his time in governance settling perceived grievances rather than managing the affairs of the county and improving the lives of American citizens. His plan for our democracy is to disable it to his advantage and profit. Sadly the damage he has inflicted socially since his political presence is insidiously apparent. By stoking hatred and fear of “the other” he has exposed and elevated the divisive embarrasment of racism in this country to post reconstruction levels. So far backward has Trump taken us it will take years before racial resentment is abated. The beginning of the repair starts by making sure he does not get elected again.
Look Up!
There’s shit falling out of the sky again. Grab Your Bullitproof Umbrella NASA says your risk of injury from their wayward debris is “very low.” Just 1 in 9,400. Excuse me! That’s not exactly comforting. That’s the range of possibilty of dying by accidental electrocution. When I was a teenager I watched my little brother test the limits of that statistic when he attempted to extract a slice of bread stuck in our toaster with a metal-handled knife. And according to NASA’s calculation you’re about four times as likey to get speared by their rubbish than dying in a cataclysmic storm. How many incidents of that type do you read about every day?
Odds of dying from a dog attack are 1 in 69 thousand. I realize we’re talking death here, but once I was attacked by a dog. I was walking back to my apartment from a park where I had been practicing my pitch shot with my 9 iron. A scrawny, mud-matted mut bolted from his yard and sunk his teeth into the leg of my pants. Overall I was pleased with my stance and form as the face of my club struck his boney rib cage. Had the little bastard broken any skin on my calf I would have made sure his skull was analyzed for rabbies, conventionally or by the modified 9 iron procedure.
The odds of being injured by a toilet are right there with what NASA is suggesting here- 1 in 10,000. The CDC actually documents this. Look it up if you don’t believe me. Though congress feels gun violence is not the purvue of the CDC, equally significant is the odds of not serviving the accidental discharge of a firearm. That happens to be 1 in 7,900. Of course in America the odds of dying from a gun assualt are 1 in 221. And now that 6 year olds are getting in on the action, look for that statistic to become even more alamring. .Member of NRA Junior
Anyway, just a heads up for a few days.
Brainless Microbe Outwits Most Evolutionary Advanced Form of American Homo Sapiens
I think you can say it’s official. With so many hospitals once again overflowing with covid patients, you can reasonably say we, the species that has evolved into the masters of the planet, have been outsmarted by a brainless, micron-sized blob. We were so close to getting back to normal. We have the antidote to the scurge at hand- a 95% effective vaccine. But herd immjunity is out of reach because 30% of the adult population in the U.S. is not willing to get a shot. Why is that? Why would a superior, sophisticated species capable of reason let something so micoscopic and inferior in every possible way rule its domain, when all that needs to be done to regain control is to utilize an extremely effective tool that was painstakingly developed by that superior species?
Viruses are about as simple as it gets in functionality. They don’t eat or expend energy. They’re baically not even living organisms. Microscopic zombies. All they do is reproduce, and in that task they are usually very efficient, but it would seem their method to be extremely boring. There is no romantic music involved. No smoking afterwards. Like most of us are aware, viruses need a host in order to do what they do, and of course in the case of covid the host is a cell that dwells inside of our complicated human bodies.
In the process of reproduction, viruses unfortunatly have one thing in common with cell based life. They are equiped with nucleic acid genomes based on the same genetic code that is used in human cells. The really important thing to realize about this is- viruses have genetic variation and can evolve.
And because of that feature, we could be in a world of shit. The original alpha covid strain did what it is always inclined to do- evolve, into a more transmissible delta variant, and it is possibly a more deadly one as well. It is only a matter of time before it mutates into a varient that is resistant to the vaccine.
Some of the public’s vaccination hesitancy is fortunatley starting to crack a bit. When the stock market sputtered in recent weeks because the Wall Street Journal all of a sudden voiced concern, Sean Hannity did an about face and started encouraging people to get vaccinated. A pat on the back to capitalism. But when I see a United States congressman Rep. Chip Roy goes Ape Shit go on a weapons grade tyrant over vaccines and masking, I can almost hear the guffaws of billions of covid capsids. If thinking were something they could do, I imagine they would be unable to believe their immense good fortune knowing a person in a position of pubic leadership had blown off his high school biology class. Instead of making a glaring spectacle of his ignorance by trolling for deep red-dyed attention, he could have very well made a significant impact on the vaccine hesitant in his district by explaining that it is the job of health care professionals to adjust mitigating tactics whenever there is data suggesting a pathogen has detrimentally adapted.
The reason masking is a reemerging policy is because a huge portion of our population won’t get vaccinated. Because of that hesitancy, the alpha strain has had time to do what it does best- mutate to delta, which as it turns out is more contageous. What is also new is it can be transmitted by vaccinated people. That was not likely with the previous strains. The vaccine remains amazingly protective of those who are vaccinated, but critically they are now another vector that can infect the unvaccinated. Thus, to save those who are refusing vaccinations from severe sickness and death, and to try and stop the varients from progessing through the entire Greek alphabet all the way to an omega Xtreme Exterminator Super bug, the logical thing to do is to go back to masking up. Any unvaccinated person whining about abridgment of individual freedom should step back and realize a responsible democratic society also believes in collective freedom, which in this case is a freedom, for everyone, to carry on like we were able to do before this oportunistic contagion took over our lives.
There is also something else the unvaccinted should realize. The inoculated at some point will tire of doing all the heavy lifting. Their patience will wear thin if trying to save the unvaccinated from themselves contines to be an exercise in fultility. The stick will replace the carrot in the form of vaccine mandates of some sort or other. Being refused entrance to a concert or restaurant might not register much alarm for some, but loss of access to a job or college campus might be more signifacant. The ultimate solution to convert the hesitant could very well arrive this fall. Tell someone they will not be allowed into a football stadium without proof of vaccination and I believe vaccine hesitancy will come to a screaching halt. Superiority hurts sometimes, but usually its best to just let it play out.

Arizona Ballots Headed to More “Mystery” Sites
Cyber Ninja, the security firm contracted to perform the audit of 2020 election ballots in Arizona that was requested by the state’s Republican Senate, is about to engage in more out of state analysis. Already facing scrutiny over the reasons and legality of transporting ballots to a secluded cabin in Montana, it has emerged that the company will be sending even more ballots to locations outside of Arizona. Although specific details are still unconfirmed, sites range from an abandoned mine shaft in mountainous West Virginia where it is rummored an inquisitive band of faerie folk reside, to the impenetrable bayous of Louisiana inhabited by practicing creole sorcerers versed in the conjouring arts. Because Cyber Ninja’s staff includes a small contingent of people able to communicate intergalactically, it is rumored another possible location for ballot transport is som

Spokesmen for Cyber Ninja say they are confident the company has the resources and contacts to expose any sort of voting shenanigans
Cyber Ninja Enlists Pair of Pandas to Assist with Arizona Vote Recount
Cyber Ninja, the cybersecurity firm hired by Arizona Republicans to conduct their 2020 election re-audit of that states Maricopa County, is pulling out all the stops in order to get to the bottom of what is widely perceived in Republican circles to be incomprehensible- a legitimate Democrat victory. Convinced the American public understands that an election is only free and fair if Republicans win, Arizona Republicans have assigned the task of codifying this new, inovative interpretation of the US constitution to Cyber Ninja.
Though Cyber Ninja has absolutly no experience in elections, company CEO and “stop the steal” conspiracy promoter Doug Logan says that will be no impediment to competent execution of the work at hand. Logan stated his company has methods to thoroughly search for signs of fraud that are normally not conducted. Of particular concern to him are the pens filled with disappearing ink that he believes were handed out to Republican voters, and he is confident his knowleged of chemical subsances will facilitate reappearance of markings and detect any traces of lemon juice.
Logan has been even more vigilant in his dogged pursuit of the massive dump of Biden ballots by the Chinese goverment he is certain has occured. Critical to that exposer, Logan believes, is locating ballots embedded with bamboo filament specific to Chinese paper products. So far Logan has implemented the use of various lighting techniques, like untraviolet and fluorescent, but says he has not ruled out strobe or backlighting, indoor solar, black, or disco.
Though the rather unconvenional use of bamboo sniffing dogs proved to be a bust, starting this coming week Logan is stepping up that approach. It has emerged that he has clandestinely procured a couple of panda bears that he is certain will turn the tide. In the words of Mr. Logan, “We’ll just turn the pandas loose and let them go to work. Nothing will deter us from restoring America’s confidence in our electoral system.” Added Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, ” It is critically important that people know they can always depend on the Republican Party to do what’s right for democracy by insuring every election has enough Republican votes to make it legitimate.”
Tucker Carlson Provides Marjorie Taylor Greene With Helpful Caucus Modification Recommendations
During his evening program, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson commended Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for her creativity in promoting white nationalism. Recently criticized for spouting “great replacement” rhetoric by suggesting that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate with “voters from the third world,” Carlson nonetheless praised Greene for “telling it like it is” with her bold initiative to establish her nativist America First Caucus.
At the heart of the America First ideology is “respect for Anglo-Saxon political traditions.” When Democrats and a few scatered Republican colleagues voiced criticism of the proposed organization for it’s blatant racism, Greene decided to shelve the idea for now. But Carlson said that is a mistake, and suggested that with a simple name change the central idea would have more appeal.
“A lot of what America First emphasizes is already being done in the GOP’s Freedom Caucus,” Carlson said. Changing the name of the America First Caucus to the Caucasian Caucus would go a long way to clarify things. First of all, America First’s primary objective appears to actually be discriminatory. Not racist, but discriminatory. The organization should make it clear our country accepts ALL white people, not just Anglo Saxons. Second, believe it or not there is not one congressional organization that is specifically dedicated to voicing only white demands and grievances. Representative Greene has identified a need that has been neglected for too long.”
When it was suggested what he was proposing was promoting white supremacy just as egregiously as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson immediatly assumed his ever familiar appearance of profound, cross-eyed confusion and restated his firm belief that no such thing exists. “There is no white supremacy in this country. Show me where there is white supremacy. Yes some people like myself believe only white people should be living in our country and all non-white people here are occupying precious space reserved for deserving white people, but that doesn’t mean white people consider themselves superior. We just don’t particlarly care for people with a different pigmentation. The constitution was written by white people, for white people. Not one black, brown yellow or red person signed the Declaration of Independence. Those are the plain facts.”
When Carlson was asked what his understanding was of the “all men are created equal” clause in the Declaration of Independence, his deflective reply focused on the importance of the indivdual liberties gauranteed by our foundational documents. ” We have pleny of diversity in the white American population. That’s what’s great about our country. The Republicans and this new caucus Representative Greene is proposing is a perfect illustration. Just look at what Marjorie Taylor Greene herself brings to the table. She knows the importance of Second Amendment rights and leads by example. When she spotted an annoyingly unarmed gun safety advocate walking down the street, she threatened and harassed him for an entire city block. And she was only carrying a concealed hand gun. Image how intimidating she can be with one of her assault rifles clutched in her hands. That’s an image that’s American to the core.”
MTG- Busy Making America Great
Carlson went on to catalogue the congressmen he was certain the Caucasian Caucus will attract. Representative Matt Gaetz he believes is a shoo in since he was already on board with America First. Gaetz represents that segment of the American white male population that, according to Carlson, believes in the uninhibited freedom and duty of white men to give counsel and guidance to adolecent females and provide for their interstate transportation needs.
Carslon also believes all indications are that Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan will also be eager to join the organization. Jordan recently confronted the GOP’s enemy number one, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and in typical bombastic, jordanary fashion, solidly established himself as the future of Republican public health information with his whithering rebuke of Fauci implanted socialistic practices like wearing protective face masks. Jordan’s showdown with Fauci more importantly cemented him as spokseman for all liberty loving caucasians who are sick and tired of big government imposing rational public health guidelines that selfishly protect the health and well being of the nation at the expense of freedom loving Americans who are simply seeking to do whatever they want. Carlson is confident the GOP will continue asserting this primary perogative- that the freedoms of individual white people should always take precedence over the common good.
Mass Shootings: A Very Positive Indication that the Nation is Getting Back to Normal
With two mass shootings in the past week, the American public received possibly the most encouraging sign yet that the covid scourge is in rapid decline. The nation has been cooped up inside so long people seemed to have given little thought to the colossal carnage a couple of assault weapons can inflict. “It’s hard to get your head around a half million deaths from a virus,” Dallas resident Tex Wesson stated. “That’s just not something you see in this country. But a dozen or so people mowed down in a grocery store, now that’s something you can hang your hat on.”
An even more satisfying sign that things are back to normal is the typical Republican stonewalling of any reasonable gun safety measure proposed by congress and favored by 95 percent of the voting public. With mass shootings in abatement during the pandemic, nothing in the way of saving American lives from ongoing gun violence has even remotly been addressed legislatively. Now that Republican Senator Ted Cruz has once again assured the nation that absolutely nothing can be done to stem the slaughter, it can be confidently stated that the U.S. Senate is safely ensconced in its pre-covid cocoon of fruitless stagnation.
Welcome back, America!
