Never let a tragedy go to waste!!

I try not to go political so soon after a tragic event; however, since POTUS already has, I feel a need to point out that contrary to what President Obama believes, the fact is that making guns illegal WILL NOT affect the ease with which someone can get a gun to commit a horrible act.

AND to use this tragedy to go after a political agenda less than 24 hours after the tragedy occurred once again shows POTUS to be nothing but an ethically challenged political hack.

God Bless the folks of Mother Emmanuel AMC....you are all in our prayers.

God Speed to the departed, God Bless the survivors...

Rant For The Week!!

Here is a little rant on a Tuesday evening for everyone to enjoy.

1. With all the commotion about the Duggar family scandal, I find it ironic that the press is giving Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee a hard time for his friendship with this family when Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton has been married to an accused sexual predator for 40 years…….HMMMMM!!

2. Sad anniversary as today marks one year since the JV….err…..ISIS took control of Iraqi city of Mosul.

     

3. In case you were counting, this year the Senate has already voted on 31 bills. That’s impressive since last year, under the supreme rule of Harry Reid; the Senate was only able to complete votes on 12 pieces of legislation.

        

4. Before Hillary is crowned the Democrat’s successor to Obama, take a look at a recent Wisconsin straw pool which Hillary barely won 49% to 41% over Bernie Sanders.

        

5. Remember last month when everyone in DC was going crazy about Amtrak funding? Wonder what happened to that?      OH YEAH…that Caitlyn chick…….

       

6. This week a Pakistani Court acquitted 8 of the 10 men who took part in the attack on 14 year old Malala Yousafzai. You remember her; she wrote a women’s rights blog and was shot in the face by this group of adult men while sitting on her school bus. Yeah….Pakistan….They’re our friends!

     

7. By the way, when President Obama starts to give President Putin advice about how to make his people happy he might want to check on that. Putin’s approval ratings by Russian voters are in the 80% range as polled by third party sources and not by the Russian media. Just to get an idea of how big that is, it’s twice as high as Obama’s own approval rating by American voters.

       

8. Lastly, today I was in a conversation discussing the rough handling of the disrespectful young lady who caused much of the problem in McKinney, Texas. I was asked how I would have reacted had that been my child? I simply smiled and let them know that my child would have had enough respect for the authorities and themselves to NOT be there.

Phew…..eight items and they’re short enough to read quickly….Just some things to think about.

Later
