Wisdom from the Internets

Read today. The racism saturating our country is borne out by how many rejected health care offered by a black President, but accepted treason by a white one.

Nothing but truth.

Two issues that seem beyond resolution. At least at the moment.

We can't prevent people from murdering our children in their schools. And we can't seem to stop MAGA from planning the murder of our democracy come the next 2 elections.

At least on the second one maybe the upcoming Hearings will help.

DOJ declines to charge Meadows or Scavino

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/03/politics/justice-department-declines-charge-meadows-scavino-january-6/index.html

snip:
The Department of Justice has informed the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection that it will not indict two former Trump White House officials found in contempt by the committee.

Too disgusted to comment.

When NRA favored gun control

https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act

snip:
In contrast to the NRA’s rigid opposition to gun control in today’s America, the organization fought alongside the government for stricter gun regulations in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to keep guns out of the hands of African-Americans as racial tensions in the nation grew. The NRA felt especially threatened by the Black Panthers, whose well-photographed carrying of weapons in public spaces was entirely legal in the state of California, where they were based.

So much for consistency.

How did the ocean respond when the beach said hello?

The ocean said nothing, it just waved.

Sometimes when I'm watching games I note that folks sitting directly

behind the plate spend much of their time looking down at their devices.

Those seats have to cost a fortune.

Maybe they are watching highlights of the game they are currently attending.
