Source: New York Post

The Fourth of July bloodbath in Highland Park, Illinois marked the 309th mass shooting in the United States this year, data shows.

Six people were slaughtered and dozens more injured when a gunman opened fire at the city’s annual Independence Day parade Monday.

Aspiring rapper Robert “Bobby” Crimo, 22, was identified as a “person of interest” in the massacre and taken into custody shortly after the carnage.

The bloodbath marked the 309th mass shooting of 2022, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

The nonprofit tracks shootings in which at least four people were wounded or killed, excluding the shooter.

Speaker Pelosi and President Biden will figure out a solution to our crises.

Along with Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Obama and many others.
It may take time, but there is a solution. We have leadership that knows the truth, and we will survive.

About Trump worshipers. They are declining. Proof: He has raised little or no money since hearings.

..And his following is going down a whole lot. Before hearings..close to 30%

After hearings less than 25%...and that is where it will stay in my opinion..Less than 20 % approval of his behavior.
Maybe, less than 15%.....Why?...........simple:

It will be repeated, hundreds of times, what Trump did was against the law..and he incited a failed insurrection that killed people.

Those 8 words will cut his base in half or more.....................he incited a failed insurrection that killed people.

More testimony is coming, will prove him the criminal that he is. But there is enough there right now, to totally
destroy his credibility in most people.

So, Who will most people believe: Cassidy Hutchinson or Donald Trump? There ain't no more.

"Taking Arms Against the Government" which one? ..Federal, State or local?

Against the National park system?
Against the local School Board?
Against the local traffic cops?
Against the teachers in the school.....Yes, they are government workers too.
against the mail man...he is paid by the government..isn't he?'
Against the Army?...I wouldn't do that
Against certain colleges? ...Many are government funded & controlled
Against the road repair people...many are government workers.
Guess what?....Libraries are funded by the government, and most are government agencies.
Against those employees who help to provide ..."food stamps"
Against the stop lignts?...controlled and paid for by local governments
Against the national guard...see sentence about the Army
Navy same as Army
Marines, same as Army
Some government agencies operate museums ...I don't think so.
Local Police Detectives..NO

I guess silly Stu doesn't know which government agency or workers they wish to take arms against.............

Therefore the idiots need to decide which part of the government they are fighting against?
........Define the government, & who you want to shoot at...& why? The government is everywhere

....................OH MY.................time to hide again... or maybe nuke ... ....

About ...."Pessimism" Currently We Have a President That Has Seen

The Best and The Worst.
This is true in his political life, and his entire life.

He deeply cares about the United States and is showing that to everyone.
I also believe that he will do what is right for this country & the world.
Joe is not new, and he has seen a great deal.
Joe was in the room when we got Osama bin Laden.
Joe was in Congress on 9/11.
Joe is a gift to us all. Please don't underestimate Joe Biden.
He is the best person for this time in our history.

Something great about the 1/6 Committee: it is acting as if these hearings are to save our democracy

You can observe how much work the members have put in to make the testimony honest, relevant and complete. It is obvious to me that the members and their staff have put in as much work as possible to convince all of us, that the committee is presenting the truth and all of the truth, about all the people in the events of 1/6. All of the players, not just a few. All of the events and not just a few!!

The most important idea of all, this is a simple question, "Who do you believe Hutchenson or Trump?"

I wonder if Trump knows that the question is, "Who do you believe Hutchenson or Me?" Trump is too

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
