Congressional Art Contest a Way for Young People to Send Politicians a Message

With the only voices from young people given media exposure being those demanding that government abridge liberty, you and your children might be in a position to help show that some still believe in the vision of the Founders. [More]

On the other hand, it can show us how much ideological suppression those who swore an oath to the Constitution are willing to impose.

That's the Spirit

Spirit Airlines apologizes to Parkland survivor for flight attendant’s gun control speech [More]

Good. Now fire her.

What got me was this:

I doubt it was "everyone," but I do find it disappointing that no one loudly told her to go **** herself.

That would have been worth clapping for.

And supported by these guys and these guys...

A Viable Alternative?

I've just been told about Full30 as an alternative to YouTube for gun videos. [More]

A couple things:

I tried embedding a video in Blogger and their embed code results in a player with several (and I mean a lot) inches of black space above and below, and I see nothing in the html I can remove to fix that (bearing in mind my capabilities in that regard are really limited.)

Also, one of the big issues destroying YouTubers is no longer being allowed to monetize their videos, effectively shutting them down by impoverishing them.  I didn't see anything about that through a quick scan of the Full30 t's & c's.

If you have knowledge about either of these concerns, please educate me in "Comments."

Staunch Supporters of the Second Amendment

Congressional Republicans are jeopardizing the Second Amendment rights of 4.2 million senior citizens. At the same time, they have voted to funnel tens of millions of dollars to gun control organizations and support other actions that Democrats will love.
