There is no greater crime than overthrowing our democracy. Democracy is the only thing that protects our rights and freedoms. Attacking democracy is attacking our freedoms and our way of life. Pay close attention to the upcoming hearings of the bipartisan January 6 panel. They will give us the details of a violent attempt to end our democracy. Only you can protect democracy by voting out all who planned, financed and participated in the ultimate crime against America.

Last weekend alone 7 mass shootings killed 11 and injured 54 in the U.S. Unbelievably, a new CBS News poll shows nearly half of Republicans agree that mass shootings are “something we have to accept as a free society”. What? Do these people have a soul? Don’t their churches say human life is sacred? They’re ok with innocent children being massacred just so they can have military assault weapons? However, 85% of Democrats polled said, “mass shootings can be stopped and prevented if we really tried”. That says it all. Remember that when you vote.

David Koch spends a lot of money supporting science on public television. At the same time he spent millions trying to convince people global warming didn’t exist. What kind of special hypocrite is he?

Superintendent Trezak, thank you for addressing the mental health component of school safety. That said, what is being done to address the impact of the police gun range well within ear shot of an elementary school in your district. The many days that sound like a war zone for hours cannot possibly be an asset to children’s mental well being.

We were told about the greatest COLA increase in 39 years for Social Security beneficiaries of 5.9%. The Health Insurance premium went up almost exactly the amount of the COLA increase. Then the inflation rate of 8.3% and rising is taking its toll on those of us depending on Social Security and having paid into it all of our working years. And the Republicans in the state of Indiana are reluctant to even put a hold on gas tax until this runaway inflation is under control. Our INDIANA government is making a killing on the SALES TAX we pay since we are paying way more for everything but mostly for gas so I am sure with the $5 BILLION DOLLAR excess already in the bank this state will not go broke. I expect the lawmakers Indianapolis will soon vote for another pay increase for themselves.

The AR-15 type weapons were designed to eliminate military personnel with maximum efficiency. It’s not a hunting rifle or a target weapon. No civilian should have ever been allowed to own this weapon. It’s past time to ban them. Every other civilized nation already has.

Law-abiding gun owners are going to have no one to blame but themselves when things get so absolutely unbearable and dangerous that there will be no alternative but to not only ban guns, but confiscate them. It won’t happen right now. It might be decades from now. But we’re at 400 million firearms in our society right now. Even now, approximately 300 people are shot every single day in the United States. On average, 100 of them die. 200 survive, but have injuries that will likely affect them for the rest of their lives. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. This is bad enough, but what happens when there are not “just” 400 million, but billions of firearms? It will be a dystopian nightmare. But that’s where we’re headed. That’s where Republicans are taking us.

Democrats are the only party that cares about the American people according to a commenter in Quickly. That’s why things are so expensive because it’s for your own good. They will save the planet and if you can’t afford to live or pay your bills just consider it a favor because there’s so little time left before were all doomed. Sleepy Joe is like a biblical figure we should all be thankful for.

Even if during these upcoming hearings the January 6th Commission reveals indisputable evidence that Trump has committed crimes, would Merrick Garland have the spine to prosecute him? Of course not. He would consider it “too political.” He isn’t even going to prosecute Meadows and Scavino for their refusal to honor lawful congressional subpoenas. Garland has been a major disappointment. Biden should never have appointed him as Attorney General. It’s not too late to replace him, Joe. Do it.

Just remember one thing people, every problem that is going on during the Biden administration is Russia’s fault. And the January 6th committee is designed to make sure Trump will never be able to run for president ever again. And if you’re one of the 74 million people who voted for him you should never be able to vote again, because Democrats are all such fine people, who have a real problem with the truth. And they never admit their wrong about anything.
