TRUTH is closing in on them and they are losing their minds.

    These are lizard-men who have no soul, no spirituality, no humanity. No one is listening to them, not even their wives. The only thing that listens are their guns, bombs, and anything else they can murder innocent people with. No remorse. Most of them kill themselve because they lack the courage to face their own cowardly evil.
    I look at it this way....racism is a by-product....low hanging fruit for these yahoos to go after because they can't/won't attack the folk at the top of our economic food chain WHO LOOK JUST LIKE THEM.

    So anyone who is NOT a minority but disagrees with them is a traitor (lib'ral, commie, etc.). The Jan.6th insurrection was the first real onslaught against the perceived aforementioned ... the joke is that it was one of the "elites" who egged the dummies on...a person who makes his money building hotels that his supporters can't afford. Go figure.

    Ever since that NY Times article from the early 1990's pointed out that "white" Americans will be the minority population by 2040, and that white folk internationally are a minority population, a lot of folk just ain't been right.

    Mass shootings are typically defined as 4 or more people shot, not the number of fatalities.

    You confuse criminal activity that results in murder with the purposeful killing of innocents by a lone assailant with a personal grievance. Your last sentence is complete BS at least, pure supposition and conjecture at most.

    Then that would be "mass murder."

    Ahhh, that would be pure projection on your part, toodles. By your generalization here, I could compare auto accident deaths to those killed in cross fire or stray bullets. But FYI, gangland shootings of 10 and up rival criminal gang members have been called "massacres" in the press, don't cha know. My previous statement stands valid, and that just burns your ass.

    Hello Walt,

    None of the normal uses of water destroy it. We dirty the water, but we do not destroy the water. The used water either becomes sewerage, or evaporates. Either way, it ends up back in the ocean, so the volume of the ocean should not change.

    The only thing I can think of that destroys water is turning it into hydrogen. That is exceedingly rare these days, but may become more common in the future. The reason one would create hydrogen is as a partible energy source, and it would be recombined with oxygen to create water. In theory, that would mean the same amount of water, but it is possible there could be some lossage in that process. Who can tell, it is the future.
    Get OUTTA here!

    Did you just calculate the ocean salinity increase of desalinating all human water usage?

    Pretty impressive. If those assumptions are correct.

    The mighty Colorado River reached the sea up until about the 1960's. Now, it rarely does at all. 100 years earlier, steamboats used to carry passengers from the mouth to points upriver.

    It supplies water for about 40 million people. If we wanted to put another 40 million people in that space, where would we get another Colorado River?

    It's funny how so many here haven't the balls to defend themselves, yet say they'll defend this country.

    A year before (give or take) this guy was checked into a mental health facility for being suicidal and had bought a shotgun. He was known to have mental health issues around suicide. He bought the firearm he used this time just days before the incident, and obviously passed the background check, possibly lying on the form about his mental health history.

    In his case, it appears that neither red flag laws nor a background check stopped him from buying the weapon.
    The Fedex shooter? Yes, I saw where he was investigated by the FBI after his mother was concerned about his possible desires for suicide-by-cop. Nothing came of it. I'm surprised the Red Flag law didn't pop, but then again, due process. A year had passed and I don't know the ins and outs of Red Flag laws in Indiana. Notice in the link below is says "temporarily". IMO, the main problem is a lack of mental health care and supporting legislation. Is there any doubt this young man needed help? Why didn't he get it before he harmed others and himself?

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...alth-epidemic/
    The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states. Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others. The President urges Congress to pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own. In the interim, the Justice Department’s published model legislation will make it easier for states that want to adopt red flag laws to do so.

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    For anybody who has a problem with the white men committing higher percentage of mass shootings, here's the graph.



    If you sum up the total of non-whites on the graph, you'll see it doesn't come close.

    Its probably because the lawlessly hacked in tRump gutter insurgency of the sewer and his un America GOPers, engaged in conspiracies with their prostituted out foreign enemies of America to promote a environment of atrocities, chaos and violence against society and regardless of who one is at not only being on a mission to destroy Democracy from within but also the common decency of global humanity.
