    Nothing feels as good as a summer romance does it? Biden paases out a couple trillion dollar$ and love blossoms. The buzz from the instant gratifacation of raking in all that cash, has taken their minds off the big tax increases that are coming once summer's over. Joe's tax schemes, fossil fuel restrictions, and the over abundance of cheap labor he's importing? I just have a feeling that sentiments are gonna change.

    On March 22, a mass shooting occurred at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. Ten people were killed, including a local on-duty police officer.

    Three days after that, a man who police say went on a rampage at three spas in the Atlanta area, killing eight people, was charged with eight counts of murder in connection with the attacks.

    A man has been charged with second-degree murder after an 11-month-old girl was killed and two other children were injured in a weekend drive-by shooting in New York, authorities said.

    According to Syracuse police, three girls were sitting in the back seat of a car when someone in a passing vehicle opened fire on them.

    At least five people are dead, including two children, in what police in York County, S.C., called a “case of a mass shooting” that involved a former National Football League player as the gunman.

    On the day of the President's E.O.'s on gun control, one person was killed and at least four others were wounded in a shooting at an industrial park in Bryan, Texas.

    A confrontation in a Tennessee high school that involved police officers responding to a report of a possible armed man left one person dead and an officer wounded, authorities said. The school was the subject of media reports in February after three students were shot to death over a three-week span.

    Today, Police were working to identify a gunman and determine his motive for opening fire at a FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport, killing eight people and taking his own life in the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S.

    Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot late Thursday night and then went into the building, where he shot himself shortly before police entered the facility.

    McCartt said four people were killed outside the building and another four inside. Several people were also wounded, including five taken to the hospital.

    The carnage took just a couple of minutes. “It did not last very long,” he said.

    All of this has happened since March 22, 3 1/2 weeks ago.

    It is past time for reasonable gun controls, but Republicans will not allow that to happen. They do nothing, and they say nothing as this murderous rampage continues.

    Republicans continue to criticize Biden for what he may do sometime in the future.

    Of course, that is all they got. Folks, we have ourselves a President.

    The corrected version.

    On March 16, a man who police say went on a rampage at three spas in the Atlanta area, killing eight people, was charged with eight counts of murder in connection with the attacks.

    On March 22, a mass shooting occurred at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. Ten people were killed, including a local on-duty police officer.

    A man has been charged with second-degree murder after an 11-month-old girl was killed and two other children were injured in a weekend drive-by shooting in New York, authorities said.

    According to Syracuse police, three girls were sitting in the back seat of a car when someone in a passing vehicle opened fire on them.

    At least five people are dead, including two children, in what police in York County, S.C., called a “case of a mass shooting” that involved a former National Football League player as the gunman.

    On the day of the President's E.O.'s on gun control, one person was killed and at least four others were wounded in a shooting at an industrial park in Bryan, Texas.

    A confrontation in a Tennessee high school that involved police officers responding to a report of a possible armed man left one person dead and an officer wounded, authorities said. The school was the subject of media reports in February after three students were shot to death over a three-week span.

    Today, Police were working to identify a gunman and determine his motive for opening fire at a FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport, killing eight people and taking his own life in the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S.

    Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot late Thursday night and then went into the building, where he shot himself shortly before police entered the facility.

    McCartt said four people were killed outside the building and another four inside. Several people were also wounded, including five taken to the hospital.

    The carnage took just a couple of minutes. “It did not last very long,” he said.

    The US has had at least 45 mass shootings, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media, and police reports. The US has seen at least 147 mass shootings in 2021.

    It is past time for reasonable gun controls, but Republicans will not allow that to happen. They do nothing, and they say nothing as this murderous rampage continues.

    May do? Has Joe developed a new strategy to recover the costs of his stimulus spending and infrastructure plan? Because he pretty clearly indicated, on a rare occasions when TV cameras actually caught him speaking with a reasonable amount of lucidity, that he intended to raise taxes.

    The Times reports, "The 19-year-old gunman who killed eight people and injured seven others at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis late Thursday was a former employee of the company whose mother had warned law enforcement officials last year that he might try to commit “suicide by cop,” officials said."

    Note: It is always easy to red flag a shooter after the act. There are a lot of stupid, dangerous people out there, and, for law enforcement to take action, there must be probable cause.

    The gunman had a previous encounter with law enforcement — including the seizure of a shotgun from him last year.

    The Times continued, "After the teenager’s mother reported him to law enforcement in March 2020, the authorities launched an investigation and put him on an “immediate detention mental health temporary hold,” Mr. Keenan said in a statement. He was not charged with a crime. “The shotgun was not returned to the suspect,” Mr. Keenan said.

    "A law enforcement official, requesting anonymity, identified the suspect as Brandon Scott Hole."

    Two huge questions are: A) What kind of rifle was used, and the size of the magazine? B) How did Hole get his hands on such a weapon?

    I have scowered the internet for this information. I have listened to several news programs on the telly. Surely law enforcement knows what kind of weapon was used in the FedEx shooting in Indianapolis, and they probably know how Hole got his hands on the rifle.

    Despite my exhaustive search, it is readily apparent that law enforcement is holding back all information regarding the weapon.

    Why?

    We know the shooter's name, Brandon Scott Hole. We know he had worked at the FedEx facility, and we know his mother thought he was suicidal and a shotgun was confiscated from him.

    That is all we know about him, and we know nothing about his family, not even their names.

    Why is law enforcement keeping all information about this shooter a secret?

    Indiana has long been considered to be a Republican stronghold. It's governor is Republican. Currently, the Republican Party holds super majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly. The two Senators are Republican.

    That might explain the complete lack of information on the shooter and his weapon.

    Now we know why the Republican-run government didn't want tell us anything about Brandon Scott Hole. We still know nothing Hole or his family, but we know about Hole's gun purchases.

    The Indy Star reports, "In March 2020, police took a brand new shotgun from then 18-year-old Brandon Scott Hole when his mother reported his desire to die at the hands of law enforcement.

    Just four months later, he legally bought an assault rifle in Indianapolis. He would add another to his collection two months after that.

    "And 13 months removed from the call his mother made to police at the precipice of the pandemic, Hole used his two assault weapons to kill eight people and himself at a FedEx facility on Indianapolis’ southwest side."

    What about Indiana's red flag law?

    The Star explains, "On paper, Indiana's red flag law should have stopped him. Called the Jake Laird Law in honor of a slain Indianapolis police officer, red flag legislation introduced and approved by the Indiana General Assembly in 2005 allows law enforcement to seize guns from people who are deemed a danger to themselves or others.

    But the law played no role in derailing Hole's plans. Online court records show no indication Hole appeared before a court to prove his competency, and police say it's unclear of the shotgun seized in March 2020 and never returned was confiscated under proper red flag procedure.

    What do we know about Brandon Scott Hole
    ?

    Nothing!

    The Star tells us, "Officials from the prosecutor's office told IndyStar Sunday they are looking into the specifics of the matter and hope to provide comment as early as Monday afternoon."

    That explains a lot. Little wonder as to why the Republican government tried to hide this.

    Amidst all this, countless murders, Republican members of this forum and Republican members of Congress remain completely silent.

    Why? They know they are on the wrong side of this issue and total silence is their only recourse.

    On the subject of abject stupidity on the part of politicians:

    In what equates to throwing gasoline on a raging fire, Minnesota's Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan posted a highly irresponsible statement on social media declaring that Minnesota is “a place where it is not safe to be Black.” The white liberal politician is essentially telling close to 400,000 black residents that its dangerous to live in the state due to the color of their skin.

    Representative Maxine Waters appeared at a racial justice protest Saturday night in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, a suburb not far from where Chauvin's trial is taking place.

    "We've got to stay on the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational,” Waters declared to reporters when asked what would happen if the Chauvin trial ends in acquittal. “We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."

    Chauvin's lawyer asked the judge to declare a mistrial over Waters' comments, arguing that she had prejudiced the jury. Judge Peter Cahill denied the request, but said that Waters' comments were "abhorrent" and that she may have handed the defense a lifeline anyway.

    "I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,"
    Cahill said as arguments in the case concluded Monday and the jury began deliberations.

    A trial a year in the making, three weeks of intense deliberations and testimony may be tossed in appeal because of the mind numbing remarks by a black congresswoman from Los Angeles.

    Politicians are people of influence who can't keep a job anywhere else.

    Concerning the incredibly stupid remarks made by Waters and the resulting grounds for appeal, it is the turn of the Democrats to say nothing.

    Please accept my apologies. Often the"Reply" function will not work. For previous comments I use bold and italics.

    What do we know about Brandon Scott Hole?

    Nothing!

    The Star tells us, "Officials from the prosecutor's office told IndyStar Sunday they are looking into the specifics of the matter and hope to provide comment as early as Monday afternoon."


    Late on a Monday afternoon on the West Coast and still nothing about Hole or his family. Nothing from his computer. Nothing from social media.

    The Republicans in Indiana just want this to go away. It's bad enough as it is. A suicidal kid interviewed by law enforcement was able to legally buy two assault weapons.

    Days later Brandon Scott Hole remains an enigma.

    Because we all know how Biden is his Own Man.
    That's - Hellraiser - { 1987 } Devil talk.
    The exact opposite of reality.
    The Guy was incapable of even mild Campaigning.He actually
    thunk it good when he was able to get out and about and Campaign
    to a Parking lot of a few dozen { if that } Vehicles honking out approval.
    Talk about a moronic Made For TV Comedy.
    He's now being micromanaged to appear as if some Commander
    with Flight Sunglasses { ala a Tom Cruise } and tight clothes.He can barely
    walk.He's already got a Mummy face.Can't smile.Merely a dire serious
    Liars face.He's about as convincing as a Boll weevil getting dressed for a
    school Prom.

    You need to get with the times. This was written three months ago. A lot has happen since then, and it appears you have missed it all.

    Yeah Right you Fraud.Like Biden shore takes his time.
    Whether it's how slow he was to eliminate all Trump's successful
    Border Policys.
    Or how slow,careful and deliberate he was to make sure to
    Enact the most lighting quick amount of Executive Orders and actions
    and Memorandum.By far the most ridiculously cartoonishly quick in
    American History.
    Then on to Massive new Debt while doing Nothing about the
    Crisis at the border.In fact,acting totally negligent.
    Instead occupying his feeble Unamerican brainwaves over things
    like Elimination of the filibuster,packing the Supreme court and
    creating 2 new senate seats for Washington D.C.

    Like ... - The N.Y.Times -
    Fading fast.No matter how successful they were with new subscription
    based on constant Never Trump hysteria.
    That's all water under the bridge now.
    What I miss and as well a sheer majority of Americans is
    getting back to normal.Like the Good old Trump days.
    With Job growth,Higher average pay.Low unemployment
    and a responsible grip on Foreign Affairs. Record numbers on the
    Economy and Wall Street.
    The giveaway is so simple and direct.Trump always had a big mouth,
    But he Rallied Millions of Americans with smiling faces and good honest
    cheer.His Rally's will go down in memory as uplifting,positive and
    Very American.Unlike this sad sack Biden spectacle.
