The Nashville Shooting Is Just The Latest In The Insanity Of Violence With Guns In America…
If it’s as the gun nuts say… “It’s not the guns, it’s the people” then don’t give the damn people the guns so easily.
We have to enact strict regulations, with in-depth background checks, extended waiting periods and limitations on the types of weapons and ammunition available to the public.
The Supreme Court is an embarrassment on this issue. The second amendment is very clear; a WELL REGULATED militia is WELL REGULATED. And, specifically for the originalist on the court… single shot muskets were the typical guns available not AK47s or anything similar.
It’s not the same as pre-Civil War slavery, but just as evil, destructive and inhumane.
They won’t own you like chattel, but they’ll own your mind. In the old days, slave owners didn’t want their slaves to be educated. They didn’t want them to be able to think for themselves. They feared education would lead to freedom, so they only told them what they wanted them to know.
Even after emancipation, there were Jim Crow laws with segregated schools and voting restrictions that held the black community back and kept them under educated and “in control.”
Today, the slavers are still using laws, propaganda and education to control their slaves and further their agenda. The difference is… they want to control anyone who doesn’t hold to their ideology and fit into their culture; blacks, browns or whites… skin color doesn’t matter much.
They’re calling their slaves patriotic Americans and they say we are their enemies… we who stand for freedom and equality are the resistance, we are the WOKE.
It’s perplexing, seems that many in the ProLife community don’t care very much about life after birth. Everyone deserves decent shelter, clothing, health care, education and food regardless of their station in life.
The pandemic waiver for free school meals, which launched in March 2020, expired at the beginning of the 2022-23school year after a Covid-19 aid package allowed the Agriculture Department to waive certain regulations for the first time. The percentage of free lunches served dropped from 99.8 percent in May 2022 to 67.5 percent in September, according to data from USDA.
Data backs the benefits of universal free school meals. Schools that provided no-cost meals for all students, through the Community Eligibility Provision, saw academic and behavioral benefits for students who didn’t meet the income qualifications for free meals, according to research from Krista Ruffini, a Georgetown University professor who has studied universal free school meals and student achievement.
“We see that expanding the school meals program to all kids, regardless of their families’ income leads to improvements for kids and families,” Ruffini said. “Math test scores go up, exclusionary discipline — basically out-of-school suspensions — go down and the use of food bank services also falls.”

Some Decisions Are Just Tough, Unpopular Give And Takes…
The Biden administration said Monday it is approving the huge Willow oil-drilling project on Alaska’s petroleum-rich North Slope, a major environmental decision by President Joe Biden that drew quick condemnation that it flies in the face of the Democratic president’s pledges to slow climate change.
The announcement came a day after the administration, in a move in the other direction toward conservation, said it would bar or limit drilling in some other areas of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
Administration officials were concerned that ConocoPhillips’ decades-old leases limited the government’s legal ability to block the project and that courts might have ruled in the company’s favor.
Houston-based ConocoPhillips will relinquish rights to about 68,000 acres of existing leases in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
We’re Celebrating, Yet We’re Still Waiting On Total Equality
The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. Proponents assert it would end legal distinctions between men and women in matters of divorce, property, employment, and other matters. It’s awaiting congressional action now.
In the meantime, each March, various organizations and individuals join together to commemorate “Women’s History Month.” “Women’s History Month” is an observance and celebration of the vital roles women have played in American history and beyond.
Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organizers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day.
In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th 1980 as National Women’s History Week.
Call or write your Representative and request their support and passage of the ERA amendment.
The far right has consistently found minorities to punish and discriminate against. It could be the poor, blacks, women, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, immigrants, non-Christians or the LGBTQ community.
Seemingly, if they aren’t white cisgender men, they are fair game and a perceived threat of some sort.
As of late the trans community have been the target of numerous state and local authorities. Bathroom choice is one thing they are strictly against, but even more important is denial of healthcare. It falls in line with their discriminatory banning of abortions.
Healthcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity and a freedom all should enjoy without fear or concern of the cost.
