Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn and Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy will hold a video conference call Tuesday to try to craft gun control legislature that could gain bipartisan support for passage, CBS News reports.

The bipartisan effort echoes attempts by Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey after the Sandy Hook shootings a decade ago.  That bill got a 54-46 vote in the Senate in April 2013, but failed to clear the 60-vote threshold to defeat a filibuster.

Tuesday’s call is a conference call, and staff for the two Senators declined to state if other members of Congress would be joining the call, nor if there was a predetermined agenda for the call.  Murphy has stated that he supports things, like a complete ban on assault rifles, that the GOP Senators won’t support. 

Slow news day over at the hill…

Kinzinger, journalist get into online spat over ‘Top Gun’ praise | The Hill https://t.co/R4ztJb3j2L

A new piece of legislation that will like pass the Canadian Parliament calls for most owners of “military-style assault weapons” to turn them over in a mandatory buyback program that would rid the country of the vast majority of such weapons in private hands, the New York Times reports.

Following two mass murders in the United States in two weeks in which both shooters used assault-style weapons, Canada will expand its strong gun control policies that already require strict regulation and licensing of weapons.  The same bill would immediately ban the sale, purchase, importation or transfer of handguns.

“As a government, as a society, we have a responsibility to act to prevent more tragedies,” Mr. Trudeau told reporters on Monday.

That sneaky coyote crawling into a home owned by a nice white lady story sure is a nice break from all the Fox News coverage of not actual literal coyotes crawling into a country that for now is just barely a majority Non-Hispanic white. Feral brown wild coyotes can never replace real domesticated dogs. That’s why she should declare an emergency close her dog door to all traffic. What happens if the next one is pregnant? Then the homeowner would be responsible for taking care of all those anchor puppies. Biden’s policies has caused dog food prices to go through the roof. And his German Shepherds are well fed. They have pallets of Purina at the White House.

An unnamed ten-year-old boy from Lee County, Florida was arrested Saturday after sending text messages threatening a school shooting, WTVT Fox 13 Tampa reports.  A photo from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office shows the fifth grader from Patriot Elementary School being led into the sheriff’s office in handcuffs.  “This student’s behavior is sickening, especially after the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas,” stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno. “Making sure our children are safe is paramount. We will have law and order in our schools! My team didn’t hesitate one second, not one second, to investigate this threat.”  Thanks to 김 중량  for the tip.

“The young, ambitious, Radical Left Democrat ‘Prosecutor’ from Georgia, who is presiding over one of the most Crime Ridden and Corrupt places in the USA, Fulton County, has put together a Grand Jury to investigate an absolutely ‘PERFECT’ phone call to the Secretary of State. Many lawyers, from both sides, were knowingly on the call. I also assumed it was taped. I called to fight a Rigged & Stolen Election, and they go after me instead of the people that Rigged and Stole it. God Bless America!” said the fat bastard in a Sunday night Truth post complaining about Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s probe into his “Find 11,780 votes” call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Trump then added “…Murder, Rape, Human Trafficking, Drug Dealing, and Assaults of all kinds, are just about at an all time high in Fulton County, Georgia, and yet the Democrat D.A. is spending VAST amounts of time, energy, and money going after me for making a PERFECT phone call, instead of the criminals that are systematically destroying our Nation. Even the Washington Post was forced to do a major retraction on this ever continuing Witch Hunt!” in a separate post.

As the very intent Russian “laboratory worker”/pitchman says, why get something like a tattoo or a bumper sticker to show your patriotism.  Put it close to your heart, with some nice D-cup breast implants with the Russian flag.  Or to show support for the troops, get them bedecked in Russian camouflage.  Or mix and match!  I’m sure there will be The Donald-approved version featuring the red MAGA logo or a picture of the Dictator of the Tang Empire himself.  And the first one in line to get them will be Sean Hannity.

Organic strawberries sold in stores around the United States and in Canada have been linked to a multistate outbreak of Hepatitis A, the Food and Drug Administration announced, according to the Washington Post.

“Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not sell, serve, or eat any fresh organic strawberries branded as FreshKampo or HEB if purchased between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022,” the FDA wrote in a statement published Saturday.  The strawberries are sold in many supermarket chains, including Aldi, Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Walmart.

Seventeen cases of HepA have been linked to the produce; fifteen of those cases are in California and two in Minnesota;.  HepA is rarely fatal, but can cause long-term liver damage.  The FDA recommends throwing out the strawberries, but if you think the hepatitis is a blot by Bill Gates to sell microdots of LSD to put people under his control, ignore the FDA suggestions and eat ’em up.

An 18-year-old Florida man who posted photos of himself brandishing a handgun, a rifle and a tactical vest–commenting that he asked Siri to find “directions to the nearest school”–has been arrested by detectives from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office despite the weapons being low velocity airsoft guns, the Associated Press reports.

Less than a week after a gunman entered a Texas elementary school where he shot and killed 19 students and two teachers, Corey Anderson made posts on social media that were reported to local authorities, despite conservatives who claim that owning weapons and speaking freely are Constitutional rights, with the Second Amendment the only way to guarantee the First.

The guns in Anderson’s photos turned out to be airsoft weapons, not actual assault weapons.  “Protecting our students is our greatest priority,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said said. We take school threats very seriously, if you see something suspicious, please contact us immediately.”

“How did Ramos buy TWO high buck Daniel Defense AR’s at $2,000 EACH, EO Tech red dot at $700, and much more – WITH NO JOB, a misfit and loser??? Did the FBI get a rebate offer on those AR’s they bought for him?” – The current top comment on the OANN article “WATCH: Disney Insider Reveals All“, posted Sunday and obviously not even close to being on topic.

The commenter obviously “did his own research” and completely ignored widely available reporting that Uvalde School terrorist Salvador Ramos did in fact have a job at a local Wendy’s for over a year before the shooting. He had even boasted that he saved up his earnings to buy the weapons. It’s not hard at all to believe that an 18 year old high school dropout with none of his own living expenses or a social life could have put in enough hours at a fast food restaurant to stash away a few thousand dollars – especially if he was planning this for at least four years.

Unless you don’t want to and instead choose to believe the FBI lent Ramos their credit card and told him to help himself to all the firepower he wanted as long as he promised to go shoot up an elementary school and slaughter children to justify new Democrat gun control laws that almost certainly won’t get enough votes to block a filibuster. But definitely don’t blab about it to any of the Disqus commenters over at OAN, otherwise they might expose ANOTHER Deep State false flag.

Fat former President Donald Trump’s muted public reaction to the Tuesday Georgia GOP primary loss suffered by his endorsed challenger to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger belied his private shock and frustration over the defeat, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. Per two sources close to the Orange God Emperor, the Donald was “stunned” by Raffensperger’s win and “took note” that Dem crossover voters pushed him over the top. Donald also didn’t really care that three of the other candidates he backed lost because he saw it coming.

The trial of one Dem campaign lawyer indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI about some shit that we’ve basically given up on trying to understand what was the actual crime after five plus years of insanely convoluted investigation and counter-investigations into the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia all comes down to one single verdict that could be delivered as early as Tuesday, the New York Times reports. The case against Dem cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussman is the first and only trial and would be the second conviction if the jury finds him guilty in the now three year-long special counsel John Durham investigation into the FBI’s investigation of the 2016 election. FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who fucked up and falsified some paperwork, pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement in 2020 and was sentenced to probation.

Should Sussman be acquitted the outcome will still be considered some kind of metaphorical victory for the fanboys who feel like Hillary colluded with Russia in the 2016 election. This follows the metaphorical victories such as all the times she and Obama were “caught” spying on Trump, most recently in March 2022, when some text messages between the “lovers” Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were exposed, when Jim Comey was fired, when the FISA something who fucking knows that all the MAGA kids pretended they understood what the hell was going on, same with the “302s” that “exonerated” Mike Flynn, and a whole bunch of other “wins” over the Deep State.

Just don’t mention the five different “IG reports” that didn’t tell them anything remotely close to what they wanted to hear, or the fact that Durham failed to deliver a “bombshell” report before the 2020 election to help Trump win because reasons. They don’t like to talk about those.

The Australian Labor Party have thoroughly defeated the misnamed “Liberal Party” (they’re actually conservative) reaching a 76-seat majority in Parliament, ABC News projects. The center-left Labor-oos and the Greens (not misnamed, they’re the lefty environmentalist party) combined to flip 18 seats held by the right wingers with two more seats still to be decided.

After claiming, without any evidence, that video games cause children to be more violent–which is demonstrably untrue given nations like Canada, Japan and Germany all have similar rates of people playing video games but minuscule rates of gun crimes compared to the US–Republican Oklahoma Congressman and master of the idiotic metaphor Mark Wayne “Markwayne” Mullin, a former mixed martial arts competitor, explains how allowing people to have assault weapons in public is just as scary as… being stuck on the DC subway.

Yo-, the-, the Left, everybody knows has been wantin’ to get rid of the Second Amendment.  Why?  Because people fear things that they don’t understand, an- and that’s a, that I can understand but that doesn’t mean doesn’t mean we should just ban everythin’ and I don’t get on the Metro in DC because I don’t like it. [Narrator:  Black people also take the Metro in DC.]  I honestly don’t, I kinda, somewhat fear it because I stuck on it once [Narrator: … with Black people].  Doesn’t mean I want to band [sic] it.  Let’s just educate ourselves about issues.  Let’s educate ourselves about what’s goin’ on in our neighborhoods.  But for Ka-ka-Ka-mahl-la Harris and for President Biden to go out there an politicize and take this stragity [sic] and try to make it for a political gain for them is absolutely absurd and ridiculous and it should never have place here and that’s exactly where they’re gonna go.  They’re gonna go past th-every other issue and go straight to gun control.

Sunday’s first-round presidential election in Colombia saw a populist leftist outsider former Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro take a 40 point plurality, setting up a June runoff against former Bucaramanga Mayor Rodolfo Hernandez, who grabbed 28 percent of the vote, AFP reports. Third place Conservative candidate Federico Gutierrez, locked out by Hernandez’s late surge, asked his fans to consolidate support around the inscrutable populist, calling Petro a “a danger for democracy.”

“We do not want to lose the country and we will not put at risk the future of Colombia, of our families, our children,” said Gutierrez, adding he himself would vote for Hernandez in the runoff. Petro, a former Commie guerrilla, would be the first ever left wing president of Colombia, a country long ruled by reactionary Conservative elites. Hernandez is harder to pin down. Though he’s been compared to Trump for some of the shit he talks, Hernandez is on the record as supporting a host of progressive economic policies such as universal health care, basic income for all senior citizens, and student debt forgiveness, so either way MAGA Colombians are in for a rough four years.

“TMTG intends to develop a subscription-based digital streaming service, TMTG+. Though similar to Netflix, Disney+, and other current offerings, TMTG intends to produce or acquire entertainment simply for entertainment’s sake. TMTG’s programming will thus provide a non-woke alternative to the programs offered by streaming services that operate in an increasingly politicized environment. TMTG will not censor the creators of entertainment for TMTG+, nor will it insist that its programming push some particular political ideology” says a filing by Digital World Acquisition Corp, the scam shell company that plans to merge with the Trump Media and Technology Group.

“TMTG has placed emphasis on providing streaming services wherein the programming would be ‘non-woke’ and will cancel ‘cancel culture.’ Particularly, President Trump has stated that TMTG will stand up to ‘cancel culture’ and the ‘self-righteous scolds.’ Failure to realize this vision would adversely affect TMTG’s brand and business prospects” says one of the items in the “Risks Related to TMTG”, which are always an entertaining read on these filings from the company.

Gabe Kapler, the manager of Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants, announced Sunday he will no longer join the team on the field for the pre-game performance of the National Anthem in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting that killed 21, CBS News reports.

“Players, staff and fans stood for the moment of silence, grieving the lives lost, and then we (myself included) continued to stand,, proudly proclaiming ourselves the land of the free and the home of the brave. We didn’t stop to reflect on whether we are actually free and brave after this horrific event, we just stood at attention” Kapler wrote in a blog post on his personal site. “When I was the same age as the children in Uvalde, my father taught me to stand for the pledge of allegiance when I believed my country was representing its people well or to protest and stay seated when it wasn’t. I don’t believe it is representing us well right now.”

The National Football League suggested to players protesting injustice in the American legal system and support for Black Lives Matter to stay in their locker rooms during the performance of the anthem rather than protest on the field.

The Hubble Telescope took an image of the “Hidden Galaxy,” a galaxy that would be a dominant feature, fully visible in Earth’s night sky if it were not obscured by the mass of material at the center of the Milky Way.  Almost perfectly perpendicular to the Milky Way, the spiral galaxy IC 342 is about 10 million light years from Earth.

I have an idea. Get rid of one or two of your gender studies or critical race theory “teachers” and replace them with an armed guard. Let parents vote on that!!!

Republicans need to get smart people getting ballot initiatives like this everywhere!

What kind of elementary school does Junior send his kids to, that he thinks there are “gender studies” and “critical race theory” “‘teachers'” working there?  This guy is so disconnected from reality he thinks he had an actual idea.
