Thoughts on the Browns and Deshaun…

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

We are voting to protect kids from the next school shooting. Every GOP member is opposed. So I asked my GOP colleagues, "Who are you here for? Our kids or the killers."

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

SCOTUS ruled in 2005 that police have “no legal duty to protect the public.” A Federal judge reaffirmed in 2018 when Parkland students sued the cop who ran away. They lost. AND—Qualified Immunity protects 99.9% of police negligence & violence.

So—how do we fix this?

I have spent the past few days researching the training of Uvalde officers, including the tactics they were expected to use to halt school shooters.

The documents are jarring. Here’s a thread of our findings so far.

This morning, I wanted to extend my most devout prayers and deepest thoughts to the victims of the bear maulings at Heritage Village Retirement Community and their friends and loved ones. This was a terrible and senseless tragedy that could not have been avoided.

We’ve been off the last two days, so @richeisen took the opportunity to end today’s show with words to please watch and share about the disaster in Uvalde, Texas:

Just reading about Calvin Ridley and thinking that NFL players are held to a higher standard than congressmen, who can legally bet through the stock market on every decision they make and all the insider info they receive.

THREAD: Today the New York Times published what might be its worst police copaganda article yet. It's by the same newly hired reporter who I've written about before. I try my best below to explain what happened and why it is so important.

Gas prices are rising at their fastest pace ever and have topped $4 for the first time since 2008.

Just a reminder that America gets 1% of its oil from Russia, while Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell profits are at their highest level in over 7 years.

Herb Elliott won Olympic Gold and set the World Record in the 1,500m and mile.

He won 44 consecutive mile/1500m races.

Then he retired, undefeated at those distances at the age of 22.

What was the key to his success? He called it:
1. Right attitude
2. Right process

THREAD. Today the New York Times published yet another long story raising alarms about a supposed "cascade" of shoplifting. Below, I try my best to explain what makes the article such dangerous and misleading propaganda.

🚨SCHOOL & CONFERENCE RECORDS🚨

Tim Stollings was absolutely FLYING through the water in Canton, breaking the school and conference records in the 50 freestyle (19.73 | 4⃣ in DII this year) & 100 butterfly (46.45 | 1⃣ in DII this year). Both times auto-qualify him for nationals!
