Two shootings around the world are little more than a continuation of Obama's failed foreign policy. One shooting in the US close to Portland, Oregon (Grimm country) had Obama claiming he had tried prayer and it hadn't worked. It looks like the young man identified as Muslim but he claimed on social media that he was a GOP Conservative. Nobody in the press believes that could be a lie, although nothing of the attitudes expressed support it. Very few white supremacists seem to like the GOP. If the boy had been older, he might have called himself a Nixon/Reagan/Bush supporter too. The 'boy' shot up a school and seems to have killed ten and wounded many more. Asking if they were Christian, as he had targeted Christians. Just like GOP Conservatives?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Parramatta, In NSW, in Sydney, a lone gunman killed a tech analyst outside police HQ, and was subsequently shot dead. The gunman was dressed in black and allegedly of Middle Eastern appearance. Apparently intelligence had warned of such a possible hit and all officers had been required to wear their sidearms, while desk workers had theirs at their desks. But the gunman probably surprised the analyst. So what will Australia's new PM do? Turnbull has replaced the decisive Mr Abbott whose ability to calmly and correctly position such tragedy allowed Australia to prosper in tough times. On form, Turnbull will say a lot, and probably delegate to a committee the issue of responses. Maybe Turnbull should try prayer?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Update, the Democrat wannabe shooter was mixed race and Incel. He was on anger medication which 'didn't seem to help.' Wikipedia does not speculate on his drug use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umpqua_Community_College_shooting
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Remember Patrick Henry's words: "Give me liberty or give me death." Don't let illusions of impossibility silence you—act today to ensure free speech endures for tomorrow. What's one step you'll take right now?
Free speech has been challenged before. In the US, World War I and World War II imposed wartime restrictions. The prolonged nature of the Vietnam War made such restrictions obvious, as did the war in Afghanistan. However, the failure of the press to remain free has led to remarkable academic debate. It is now claimed—and widely accepted—that free speech is illusory and not truly possible. Minor restrictions on style are said to mean that speech was never free. This view is Orwellian. What happened?
In antiquity, was there free speech in Athens when Socrates was ordered to leave? He drank poison rather than accept exile, but he had had his say. When Athens defeated Persia at sea, scuttling an invasion plan, the successful generals were ...

What exactly have the Palestinians done to demonstrate they’re ready for a state?
Some observations:
📷 There are still 50 hostages in Gaza
📷 They refuse every ceasefire proposal
📷 The Palestinian Authority hasn’t held elections since 2006
📷 Corruption is rampant
📷 Children are taught to glorify terrorism
📷 There’s no accountability, no rule of law, and no democratic institutions
So tell us, Emmanuel Macron: what part of this looks like a state-in-waiting?
