Armed warfare is NOT a teacher's responsibility

I know that you want (need) the facts. Especially now, after the notorious Wayne LaPierre, the ignorant, lying, belligerent, antagonistic leader of the NRA stated at CPAC today that it was the NRA that created the universal National Instant Criminal Background Check System. 

It just takes a second to find the facts, but too many are willing to take as gospel, the lying words of a person who makes a living promoting the sale of guns. That is the purpose of the NRA, to represent gun manufacturers. 

The NICS was enacted as a recommendation and MANDATE of the Brady Handgun Prevention Act of 1993. This followed there shooting of Brady during the Reagan assassination attempt. It took a while for there FBI to develop the rules and fight legal challenges by the NRA, and was finally launched by the FBI in 1998. The Brady Act mandated that dealers perform a background check. Before that, they simply asked a customer, “Are you a bad guy? “Do you have a record?” That was it. 

The NRA spent millions in an effort to prevent this system. In fact, the system of gun registration was discussed as early as  the 1930’s. Firearm dealers were required to be licensed in 1968, under a Federal Law (obviously created by much more intelligent representativeness than those serving in Congress today.

Congress today has done things such as refusing to omit people with records or those on the anti-fly list from being able to buy guns. Then, last year, after President Obama placed restrictions on those with mental illnesses from buying guns, Trump removed that restriction. The same Donald Trump who now says gun violence is a mental issue problem and those people should not have guns. 

Their answer, sell more guns to teachers. The teachers should defend the violent, shooting  perpetrators with an AK 15 using a small hand gun. 

Folks, please tell me it is your desire to have a stressed-out teacher, making little money (not enough to put up with the garbage a teacher has to go through today), in one of the lowest paying jobs in America, teaching our future generations, have a shootout with your  child or grandchild in the middle. Tell me you want Miss Grindel attack a someone shooting 30 rounds per second of 5.56 mm NATO ammo of 77 grain ammo from a 30 bullet magazine, using her .38 caliber, weapon using .32 ACP ammo, with 8 rounds in the chamber? 

The President of the Florida State Legislature said (I paraphrase), ‘I have a friend who likes to hunt wild boar. He prefers to use an AK 47. We don’t have the right to tell him what to use to hunt.’  

First of all, his friend is NOT a very good hunter. People have hunted wild boars, buffaloes and rhinos for hundreds of years, WELL BEFORE AK47’S, AK15’S AND OTHERS WERE EVEN INVENTED. They were able to kill wild boars.


President Obama said, “Weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don’t belong on our streets…” The only purpose of these weapons is to kill as many people (hopefully the enemy) as possible, in the quickest time.

WHERE IS THE RELIGION IN TRUMP? Point it out, please.

Millions of people still support Trump. Why? People with whom Trump has taken peace of mind, dignity, respect, pride, and more. He gave a 'tax cut.' That gave the average recipient a hundred dollars or so in their pockets. His friends got millions. However, due to these cuts, Medicare, medicine, local taxes (i.e., R.E. and property, sales, State Income) are increasing, making those tax-cuts void. In fact, the average middle-class citizen will net LESS after his cuts than before. It's all a DECEPTION.  In 2017, Trump earned $288 million. In 2018, $453+ million. How much more are you NETTING. He created potential trade wars, which will negatively affect produce producing states, then pushed significant cuts in Farm Subsidies. Farmers cannot find labor for harvests. Trump has: eliminated the Clean Air and Water Acts; cut public education funds, cut credits and increased tariffs related to ecology; cut MPG ratings; eliminated National parks. He eliminated middle-class workers...

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...
