About 7:00 AM on the Fox Business Channel I heard this from some Fox Blond/Brunette ...

.... thousands of people are also turning out for pro Trump rallies in the U.K. today.

I listened to all of 10 seconds as I was channel surfing over to the weather channel
and I thought about all those people who listen to this Fox crap and live in an informational
void.

Stupid Trump question

How are tariffs on Mexican products going to stop migrants from Guatemala, Costa Rica,
and the Honduras?




Enjoy some pupusas too. We just got a good Guatemalan restaurant close to where I live and if
anybody can't see that America's future is gonna be hispanic they are blind.

I just can't watch any coverage about the Virginia Beach shootings.

My heart just can't take it.

It has become the new normal w/the same kind of people who are there to
respond and help friends and families get through with this horror show, the
reporters asking and talking about the same things, and in the end nothing will
get done and so we can wait for this "new normal" to happen again.

We went 2 whole days since the last mass shooting in our 2nd amendment land of freedom.
I have hunted and owned a few guns for years and if the government wanted them and it
would lead to some kind of solution I would be fine with giving them up. 2 20 gauge pump
shotguns, 1 bolt action .22, and an old 30-30 rifle.

The shooter died after a gunfight with police.

Police Chief James Cervera told reporters Friday night the gunman was a public utilities worker.

"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach," said Mayor Bobby Dyer. "The people involved are our friends, coworkers, neighbor, colleagues."

4 shot in Cleveland, Texas, including sheriff's deputy

Source: CNN

(CNN)A Liberty County sheriff's deputy and three other people were shot Wednesday at two locations in Cleveland, Texas, the county sheriff's office said. The incident started with a shooting at a plumbing company along Highway 321 in Cleveland, where deputies found a dead woman, said Capt. Ken DeFoor, a sheriff's spokesman. Two others were shot and their conditions are unknown. A deputy followed the suspect and, as he pulled into a veterinary clinic parking lot down the road, gunshots were exchanged, DeFoor said. The deputy was shot in the neck and was life-flighted to a hospital in Houston in stable condition.

Global Climate Change. No doubt about* it these storms and late last winter/early spring's floods

.... are a taste of things to come. Melt the arctic ice cap on the top of the globe and all
kinds of hell can break loose because the jet stream and other "normal factors" are no
longer in place like they used to be.

So Trump went to Japan for trade talks that he knew were never going to happen?

I saw a news note on the bottom of the screen saying that no trade talks w/Japan
would happen before July as a clip of the "Marine 1" helicopter was taking his fat ass
out for a round of golf.

Good God in butter when does this thing end?
