Holy crap. CNN just aired a side by side comparison of Fox New after Trump’s trial and after Hunter Biden’s trial and just look at the difference. They claim it’s rigged with Trump, but fair with Hunter. Fox News is biased garbage. Disgusting.
Democrats: If Hunter broke the law, he should pay a price. No one is above the law.
Republicans: If Hunter broke the law, he should pay a price. No one is above the law.
Democrats: If Trump broke the law, he should pay a price. No one is above the law.
Republicans: RIGGED SYSTEM!!!!
Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.
What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next.
At least, not until they arrive here.
After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.
Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.
Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 304 fatal school shootings in the United States.
Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools.
Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled.
121 people have been killed and 281 people have been injured from school shootings since Parkland.
And there have been well over 100 incidents of gunfire at K-12 schools since the Uvalde school shooting.
In 2023, in the 632+ mass shootings recorded, 597 people died and 2,380 people were injured.
In total last year in this country - more than 40,000 people died from gun violence. That is an average of almost 118 gun deaths each day.
Every year, approximately three million kids are exposed to gun violence.
This. Is. An. American. Problem.
There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.
It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues.
Every country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way.
It’s the guns.
Hold on: House Republicans want a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline? They want to raise taxes on working-class & middle-class families while slashing them for millionaires & billionaires?
Are they TRYING to show exactly how out of touch they are?
Did y’all know “To catch a predator” ended because the last person getting caught was a Texas DA who sh*+ 🔫 himself in front of the camera when he realized what the situation was?
In other words, you want to stop people from being informed when you continually spout misinformation? 😂 come on Donny boy, how about you just stop lying or spreading misinformation.
I’m sad for our children. I’m sad for women. But most importantly, I’m sad for so many of my close friends who are educators in Oklahoma. Many of them are going to be faced with a difficult decision, and sadly for our kids, may choose to walk away. This is a dark day in Oklahoma.
Arizona will now have a Democratic governor and 2 Democratic senators for the first time in 72 years.
In case you were wondering how the “red wave” is going.
Christian nationalism isn’t the way ahead for Jesus followers. Christian faithfulness is. It’s fidelity to Christ—not fidelity to notions of American Christianity or to any political party—that will bring light into this present darkness. The church is bride to no one but Christ.
Christian Nationalism:“Our country is blessed. It’s manifest destiny. Our ways are superior. Our constitution is inspired. God choose US.”
Christ:“Love your neighbor. Serve others. Welcome the stranger. Care for the poor, the sick. Drop your swords. For God so loved the world.”
A Christianity that believes it needs political power, a president, legislation, and a nation to ensure its survival is a Christianity that actually dethrones Jesus as the actual savior of the nations and advances a belief that even Jesus needs a nation to be his savior.
