No Doubt’s Sunday Morning just came on YouTube and, let me tell you, I’d be here for a No Doubt reunion that sounds a like their Tragic Kingdom album.
Pretty sure this is confirmation that the NRA cares more about gun manufactures than gun owners in their lobbying efforts.
NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre spoke with Trump on Tuesday after the president expressed support for a background check bill and told him it would not be popular among Trump’s supporters
Buuuut, that does not line up with how actual NRA members view background checks. According to Politifact 79 to 80% of NRA members support background checks.
Don't Wait for the President
The quote in this linked article is just mind boggling to me.
Republicans would support an assualt rifle ban, banning high capacity magazines, and stricter background checks ……… only if Trump strongly supports them.
The president tends to pop his head up, support something and then retreat.
If you’re relying on an unreliable leader to provide leadership then you are wasting everyone’s time.
The beauty of a democracy is that you do not have to wait for a leader to make a decision.
Congress should pass legislation for new gun restrictions and pressure the White House to support their ideas instead of waiting for the White House.

Police Accountability
I really need to unsubscribe from this guy because his takes are close to the target but still way off target.
We shouldn’t be criticizing police for working the right way, but rather for encouraging that sort of procedure even when the suspect is brown or black.
That is what we are talking about. The police do not do the same thing for POC that they do for white people and encouraging them to do the same thing is literally the very least that can be done.
We should hold the police accountable every time they kill a person of color in a situation that is less dangerous than a mass shooting.
You know, like sitting in their living room in their own house, and getting shot and killed by a police officer who forgot what apartment they lived in.
Today in Headlines that I find odd from Engadget comes Audi’s E-Tron scooter is a skateboard with a handle.
As far as I know; aren’t all scooters skateboards with handles?
Who thought Gordon Ramsey should take over for Anthony Bourdain?
Yes. This makes perfect sense.
This guy doesn’t know what the term “progressives” means because the only people who
ask, “Where’s the money?” and “How will you pay for it?” when talk of health care for all or free college is mentioned
are conservatives.
Green New Deal
This guy thinks what the
centrists and “progressives” don’t understand about the Green New Deal is that stuff is all going to happen anyway.
We support the Green New Deal so it doesn’t
occur extremely destructively and in a totally-unplanned way.
I watched two videos about Nirvana this morning and I know that today will be a 90’s alternative rock music day for me and it is long overdue.
I love America because we’re so stupid we think we’re the only people buying phones when India and China have about 3 billion people compared to America’s 350 thousand.
We Create Momentum
Dog days of Summer by Sean Carpentar
Will we seek a shady spot to sit and rest for a while, hoping that a burst of momentum will blow through like a breeze and refresh our energy or will we get off our asses and create the momentum needed, allowing us to finish the year strong?
I am slowly coming around to the idea that we create our own momentum. I have always been a procrastinator and thought of myself as lazy. I am working on turning that around and creating my own momentum to push myself to get started on reaching my goals. It is a slow process changing 40 years of habit but, it is getting started.
How far as the US fallen in the world’s perception?
When would it have been called a Banana Republic in the past?
39 out of 100 5th graders would rather eat a cricket than a brussel sprout according to an American game show so you know that’s the truth.

Regal Unlimited is an interesting service for unlimited movie watching.
