John Pavlovitz@johnpavlovitz There’s a vaccination for bigotry. It’s called education. Stu Cameron@stucam7771 Hillary Clinton didn’t object to the Benghazi investigations because she had nothing to hide. Republicans are objecting to the Capitol riot investigations because they have EVERYTHING to hide… Jon Cooper @joncoopertweets Some heartfelt advice to Republican lawmakers: Don’t be such friggin’ as*holes!

Memorial Day Reflections
We have been taught that “freedom isn’t free.” Therefore, we have to “fight” for it. At one time, that might have been true, but IMHO, it’s now mostly just playing “king of the mountain.” But the otherside is that a strong military is a sign of a strong country. The idea that serving in theContinue reading “Memorial Day Reflections”
Columbine Tragedy
“On this day in 1999, the Columbine High School shooting took place in Littleton, Colorado, killing 13 victims. At the time, it was the fifth most deadly mass shooting in recent American history, but due to other massacres in the past two decades, it’s now tied for twelfth. The tragedy sparked a national debate aboutContinue reading “Columbine Tragedy”

Too Many Deaths
Between mass shootings and black people being killed by police, you have to wonder why and what you can do about it. Guns and the easy access to get them are just partially to blame. But what is most to blame is attitudes. White supremacy, the selfishness of conservative Christians who are so far awayContinue reading “Too Many Deaths”

More people died in the FedEx shooting than got blood clots after the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. But when the vaccine showed a problem with a tiny percentage of people, it was immediately stopped. When guns showed a problem with a huge percentage of people, it’s completely ignored.
Black Lives Matter
Because Facebook is really cracking down on free speech, they object to anything that is in the news, either about black kids being shot by police or about Covid 19. They prefer to have people who don’t follow the news and who don’t read. They only want the fluff. So, while I haven’t posted aContinue reading “Black Lives Matter”
