But when 19 people died in shootings in Chicago alone over July 4th to July 7th, that’s just another holiday weekend in America. Does the Little ####### say a word about that? No. i apologize if this sounds callous and uncaring, but don’t those 19 American citizens deserve the same level of outrage as any other mass homicide event? Yet those politicians clamouring for gun control say nothing. Why? Because Illinois, and Chicago in particular, has among the strictest gun control laws in the country and they do NOTHING to lower the death rate. I am as anti-gun as you can get, but gun legislation is the coward’s way out of an ongoing crisis in America. Single event mass shooting events are statistically insignificant within the overall rate of death by firearm in America and camouflage the real problem, giving the gun control lobby a way to make it seem like they are doing something, when all they are doing is avoiding what needs to be done to make a real difference. The change needs to be socio-economic, to provide a viable alternative to the current circumstances driving the violence, the hustle and get-rich-quick mentality prevalent where the murder rates are highest. It would be a heavy lift for any politician, because there is no obvious political edge to be gained. It would be unpopular and would take character, dedication and a willingness to risk their political career. Which is why career politicians like Little ####### will do NOTHING to address the real issues. Someone needs to read the names of all the murder victims shot in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, St Louis and all the other cities in the USA over the past decade and ask him what he intends to do to prevent their deaths. His silence would be deafening. Because he benefits by doing NOTHING.

The only party actually flouting democratic norms currently is the Democrat party. Not only have the party elite handpicked a candidate in spite of their primary voters, they have members (Rep. Jamie Raskin) who have openly said that they intend not to certify a Trump win by using the 14th Amendment. And then there is the admission that the DNC knew of Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline before the November 2020 election and actively using mis-and disinformation to cover for him.

Not knocking Singapore, I think it’s an amazing place to visit (I have my reasons). Next time I go, I will be better prepared. Last time I went, I was told at 9:30 am on a Friday that I was needed there Monday am. I was on a plane, in business class, 6:00am the following morning. Preparation? What preparation? 🤣

And the award for Dumb Democrat of the Day goes to … … whichever Kamala campaign staffer thought it would be a good idea, after narrowing down the Democrat VP choice to the Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, and the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, to announce that Tim Walz was the pick on the day she’s holding a rally in Philadelphia, PA. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/06/tim-walz-kamala-harris-vice-president-running-mate/74512447007/

I’m pretty sure this ISN’T what should be regarded as a coherent election strategy. Kudos to Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin for revoking their plea deals, but who on Earth thought that granting plea deals for those accused of murdering 2986 people on 9/11 was a good idea in the first place? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pentagon-chief-revokes-plea-deal-with-three-sept-11-suspects-2024-08-03/#:~:text=Aug 2 (Reuters) - U.S.,prison at Guantanamo Bay%2C Cuba. Given the overwhelming and bipartisan reaction, whoever thought taking the death penalty off the table has some explaining to do. And the claims from the White House that they were not involved ring distinctly hollow. There is no way a decision of this magnitude could have been taken, and then publicised, without their knowledge and approval.

Why wait? To minimise collateral damage. Just get the intended target. 🤯 Why wait? Just imagine how many other similar devices have already been placed. How many other agents of terror are already dead men walking? 💀 Why wait? The irony of terrorists living with the nightmare of not knowing whether their next safe house is, in fact, safe, can only spread fear amongst those whose trade is fear itself. 🥶 Why wait? To know when to roll the cameras.

If you are a terrorist leader, a known sponsor of terror, or just someone who is on a hit list somewhere, this should scare the living daylights out of you 💀 Reports from the IRGC say that it was a bomb planted in the apartment months ago that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/world/middleeast/how-hamas-leader-haniyeh-killed-iran-bomb.html How many other devices have been put out there, just waiting for the right moment to be set off?
