Yep. He said "Toledo" ----The Hill

Trump mistakenly refers to shooting in Toledo

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/456179-trump-mistakenly-refers-to-shooting-in-toledo

President Trump on Monday misstated the location of one of two mass shootings that occurred over the weekend during a speech condemning the violence, referring to Toledo, Ohio, instead of Dayton, Ohio.

"May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo, may God protect them. May God protect all of those from Texas to Ohio. May God bless the victims and their families," Trump said from the White House.

Mrs. Betty Bowers. America's Best Christian

USA: "It's a mental health issue."

WORLD: "We have those. We don't have mass shootings."

USA: "Then it's a video game issue."

WORLD: "We have those. We don't have mass shootings."

USA: "Well, it's very complex."

WORLD: "No, it's not. It's your gun laws."

USA: "Prayer in school?"

WORLD: "God, you're stupid."

It's all quiet in the Ammosexual Front (Facebook)

All quiet on the Ammosexual Front about the shootings.
They are dead silent so far. No marching orders or distraction memes yet. I guess we have just everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Nothing. Nada.

I have remained "friends" with some old Army buddies (deep in the Kool Aid) who post some really whacked out stuff. Other RW types too.

"the shootings" I use that because it's such a common occurrence that I didn't have to reference specific mass killings.

Va. Beach was 35 days ago. 3 floors of killing and he was in a fire fight with the police in 11 minutes. The Garlic Festival AND Dayton were 1 minute of shooting. High capacity mags - the common theme from what I've seen.

Do you have light switches that you don't know what they do?

Moved into a new house exactly a month ago. We have at least two or three light switches that don't seem to do anything. We thought they were for outlets in the room but we've tried plugging lamps in and still nothing. Yes I checked that the lamp was turned on.


“In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, 'Cut it out.'”

Forget The Oxford comma, we now have the Trump comma

Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country.

I really wonder if he threw in commas just to stall for time for himself while formulating the rest of this sentence.

Malcolm Van Buren strikes out FIVE in an inning.

https://www.milb.com/milb/news/kansas-city-royals-prospect-malcolm-van-buren-records-five-strikeout-inning/c-309598086

While four-strikeout innings are impressive, five-strikeout frames are nearly unheard of. But that's exactly what reliever Malcolm Van Buren recorded in the seventh inning of Rookie Advanced Burlington's 7-6 win over Elizabethton on Wednesday night at Burlington Athletic Stadium.

After Anthony Prato walked to load the bases, Van Buren got a visit from pitching coach Carlos Martinez. Martinez didn't mention how many strikeouts he had in the inning, focusing on getting him mentally prepared for the next hitter, who the coach said would be his last. The South Carolina native proceeded to strike out Will Holland on three pitches to complete one of baseball's rarest feats.

Van Buren was pumped as he walked off the mound, pleased that he executed his pitches and got out of a jam. But he said he still had no idea what he'd accomplished.

"I didn't realize that I struck out five guys in an inning until I walked back to the dugout," he said.

There, he got high-fives from excited teammates and was told by hitting coach Andy LaRoche that he'd just done something incredibly rare.
