The Enemy Within

And in a blow to President Donald Trump, the GOP plan to enshrine his four-part immigration framework came the furthest of any proposal from reaching the 60-vote margin needed for passage, failing by 39-60.  [More]

They're doing their best to ignore why Trump was elected and guarantee a midterms turnover by disillusionment, for which they'll blame him.

‘Stoneman Shooting’ Points to Need for One Gun Law that Could Have Made a Difference

“Debate” with fanatics vested in citizen disarmament is a wasted effort. At best, those attempting to inject reality into the public discourse may help enlighten those who may not have given the matter close scrutiny and retain open minds.

And Another Meme Going Viral...

Seen all over:

Trump signed a bill letting the mentally ill buy guns.

Trump signed a bill repealing an Obama administration Social Security ruling that raised legitimate due process concerns over submitting disqualifying information to NICS on recipients of disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) the government determined "mental defectives," unable to manage their own financial affairs.

But it serves the purposes of the gun-grabbers to make it sound like he gave psychos a pass in exchange for NRA blood money, disregarding that. And to ignore studies indicating:

The vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent.

Speaking of which, look for this to be pushed to the forefront.

With All Due Respect

Thoughts and prayers won’t stop these mass shootings ... With all due respect, save it. What these grieving parents and students need is for you to finally enact some common-sense gun control legislation... [More]

OK, virtue-oozing handwringers, what specifically would have made a difference at Stoneman? Or has the term "common sense" been hijacked by Opposite Day "progressives"?

I also see a viral meme coming from the totalitarian lobby and its useful idiots railing against prayer. If you had to think of one cultural figure opposed to that, who would it be?

Just One ‘Gun Law’ Could Have Reduced ‘Stoneman Shooting’ Killings
