Biden Going to Texas!

Who here was willing to bet me he wouldn't!

"President Biden said he will travel to Texas to visit the victims' families "in the coming days." He called on the US to turn its collective pain into political action following the deadliest elementary school shooting since Sandy Hook in 2012."

Volsrock is the one I remember.
 
Not to sound callous, but Big Fucking Deal!

The gun lobby will instruct it's congressional flunkies to block any bill they deem threatening to their bottom line.
Gun Control laws in certain states will make some improvements, but I seriously doubt if they can stop any "iron pipelines".

I remember the Parkland kids screaming that they were going to target the politicians who enable the aforementioned. I only wish that sentiment was still holding across the 50 states.

And the band played on.
 
Nothing that he says will be from the heart. He will read it off of a teleprompter, or they will be feeding him information by an ear piece. The days of him improvising a response, or just winging it are over.

Any danger that you and other Progressives will call for tougher action against gangs, never seen it up to now.

What's he going to do aside from mouthing a few platitudes for the media? Peter Hitchens made a very interesting point about the role of drugs in these killings.

Drugs may be to blame for the rise in mass killings across the globe, Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens claims today.

In a hard-hitting column on Mail+ - our new premium sister website - he says the lack of discussion over the link between drugs and gun violence makes further tragedies inevitable.

His comments follow the murder of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, in Uvalde, Texas.

Hitchens writes: 'Mass shootings of the sort we now see all too often are quite a recent problem. They only really began in the 1960s. Can anyone think of anything else that only really got going in Western societies in the 1960s?'

'By blaming these events either on the lack of gun control or on some vast Islamist conspiracy or on ''right-wing extremism'' we are almost completely missing the point,' he writes. And these things will keep happening until we wake to the danger.'

Fascinating how you deem your limited personal experience as general fact. You need to keep your flabby ass focused on problems in the U.K. toodles, and stop trying to pump life into a National Front agenda here, because you don't know a damned thing as to what's going on here. For instance:

Surprised you didn't play the race card whilst you were at it. So let's play study wars, shall we?

I'm not surprised that when I (once again) disprove one of your contentions that you attempt to change the subject with a personal attack and nothing else.

Carry on, my U.K. yokel.

Oh and this for good measure.

How Hip-Hop Holds Blacks Back

John McWhorter

Not long ago, I was having lunch in a KFC in Harlem, sitting near eight African-American boys, aged about 14. Since 1) it was 1:30 on a school day, 2) they were carrying book bags, and 3) they seemed to be in no hurry, I assumed they were skipping school. They were extremely loud and unruly, tossing food at one another and leaving it on the floor.

Black people ran the restaurant and made up the bulk of the customers, but it was hard to see much healthy “black community” here. After repeatedly warning the boys to stop throwing food and keep quiet, the manager finally told them to leave. The kids ignored her. Only after she called a male security guard did they start slowly making their way out, tauntingly circling the restaurant before ambling off. These teens clearly weren’t monsters, but they seemed to consider themselves exempt from public norms of behavior—as if they had begun to check out of mainstream society.

What struck me most, though, was how fully the boys’ music—hard-edged rap, preaching bone-deep dislike of authority—provided them with a continuing soundtrack to their antisocial behavior. So completely was rap ingrained in their consciousness that every so often, one or another of them would break into cocky, expletive-laden rap lyrics, accompanied by the angular, bellicose gestures typical of rap performance. A couple of his buddies would then join him. Rap was a running decoration in their conversation.

Many writers and thinkers see a kind of informed political engagement, even a revolutionary potential, in rap and hip-hop. They couldn’t be more wrong. By reinforcing the stereotypes that long hindered blacks, and by teaching young blacks that a thuggish adversarial stance is the properly “authentic” response to a presumptively racist society, rap retards black success.

How would you like to be the Selective Service on that detail, just like when they warned JFK not to travel to Dallas

Biden's no Kennedy or even an Obama. He's not the target those guys were. Plus, Biden's white.. so most of the white supremacist shit-kickers don't put a target on his back. Had he been Obama, or Kamala going to TX, then sure.. I'd want some pretty tight security for those folks.

Newsflash, numbskull ... repeating yourself won't make what you post magically come true.

The chronology of the post shows you making a statement about government inactivity beyond a certain point regarding gang violence in America. I gave a recent link showing that isn't so.

Go that, genius? If not, get an adult to explain it to you.

"pettyfogging poltroon" ...wow, you need to get with the times, toodles. If that's an insult, it only satisfy's you and like minded/aged U.K. folk....means nothing to me. Carry on.

And please explain to the reading audience WTF does this have to do with what went down in Texas, as the local population for Ulvade, Texas is (like the shooter) is predominantly Hispanic.

THINK before your fingers hit the keys, you worthless National Front numbskull....even I am beginning to be embarrassed for you.
