Watching news conference with Elizabeth City, NC Mayor, City Manager, and Police Chief. This:

This event may make it more likely that NC goes blue within the next two election cycles. These city officials are very impressive concerning their community policing efforts and management of their protests. As long as they can keep out the trouble-makers who don't live in their city, they will have set an example for the rest of the country. Hats off to them.

GOP on guns always say do more to keep guns out of hand of "criminals" or "bad" people.

How many of the mass shootings over the past 20 years have been committed by known "criminals" or "bad" people as opposed to children of "affluenza", white supremacists, law-abiding citizens, whites with legally purchased assault weapons?

I fear that the cry "taser" "taser" is going to be the signal to shoot to kill unarmed blacks

unless some time is served by this police woman.

Some RWingers are trying to blame mass shootings on COVID restrictions.

First of all, most of them are not obeying COVID restrictions.

Second, there were mass shootings BEFORE COVID but not BEFORE GUNS!

Biden must come out today and request a ban on assault weapons. Put the GOP and gun huggers

in the spotlight. There must be a vote on this. Win lose or draw, all the cards should be on the table. The anti-maskers and anti-gun control are mostly the same people. They don't care who dies and are helping to kill us all.

FEMA Funeral Assistance registration.

If you think this assistance will be plagued by fraud, it is highly unlikely.
The initial phone registration clearance is very thorough and that just gets you cleared to apply. Instructions and other documents are mailed to you. Jail time for fraud and ATTEMPTED fraud.

Correct me if I am wrong on this. Te Duante Wright shooting

I listened to the audio of the tape that was played on various news outlets. It sounded to me like the once the cop shooter said "I shot him!" One of the other cops shouted "HOOYAAH!!" (the Marine shout) to which the cop who shot the victim yelled "YEAH!" It was like both were shouting some kind of victory yell.

Did anyone else hear the same thing?

There has got to be a better way to register for the FEMA funeral assistance.

The line is either not working or busy. I tried for a solid 30 mins, one call after another, always busy or the call did not go through.
