I wish something could be done about gun violence. I think nothing will ever get done. I deeply feel sorry and sad for the three children and three adults killed at the school in Nashville. There is nothing anyone can say or do to appease their loss.

It seems this is what happens when politicians preach hate, lies and fear instead of uniting a country. President Biden wants a simple ban on assault weapons.

Do you actually think some politicians want to solve any problems that make them millions in political donations? Once you are born, look what happens. The peaceful protest on Jan. 6, 2021, resulted in people getting killed. Abortion is another moneymaker for politicians. Nothing gets done as the excuses pile up.

Jokes are made by politicians about another politician’s spouse getting beat with a hammer. There’s a social media post of Donald J. Trump holding a baseball bat next to a picture of New York’s district attorney. Al Capone swung a bat to some of his disloyal criminals. The problem is, some people think this behavior is OK. And some politicians are a joke.
