The 2024 election comes down to a question

apple.news/Aur9Ms75BSUmAYcoIropOVA

The 2024 US Presidential Election comes down to this question: Are the majority of American voters complete idiots? A candidate with felony convictions with upcoming trials for more felonies. A candidate who has already demonstrated what he will do in a disastrous term that left a reported million Americans dead. A candidate whose highest advisors from his first term describe him as unfit or a threat to democracy. Vote for the only choice who will stop the cesspool of another Trump administration. Research this election and vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.

The Great Debate

Vice President Kamala Harris ripped the mask off of the former President and revealed a lot about America. What kind of people would place a person of such low character and intellect in the office of the President? We also face a more stark question: What kind of people would return a person of low character, intelligence, and ethics to the presidency after he has tried to overthrow an election? The coming election is an almost biblical mirror on America. We will get the government that we have coming. A government that will have to deal with accelerating climate change, dictators who may choose to use weapons of mass destruction, and a society seemingly ready to be at war with itself. The next president will have a lot to deal with and will need to be smart; with a lot of smart people around them… for all of our sakes.

Is it just me?

Lately I have noticed that we rarely receive information on the type of weapon used in a mass shooting on the first day. The type of weaponry used (knife, semiautomatic pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, etc) by a mass murder suspect typically does not arrive until later in the news cycle. A tragedy with a complete story typically sparks questions and outrage, but if you delay a more complete version of the story; what happens? Here are some questions to consider: Does the delay in critical details deny people considering important issues? Does not knowing important information keep people from considering potential solutions? Have assault rifles (called AR style platforms in the reporting) become a political issue? Do US citizens need to be armed with weapons of war that would most likely be used against other citizens? Citizens of the USA need to think about all of these questions if they expect more than thoughts and prayers in response to mass murders.
