"CNN: Trump Shouldn't Call Psychopathic School Shooter a "Sicko" Because It's "Stigmatizing" to Psychopathic School Shooters
CNN is pretty determined that there is only one issue we'll be discussing here, and that is confiscating Americans' guns, and we will not be permitted to discuss mental health or keeping "sickos" from getting guns.
CNN goes so far as to accuse Trump of basically using the n-word.
From CNN:
"How helpful is calling a black person the n-word? Not only is it disrespectful, it fans racism," said Pat Corrigan, a distinguished professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology who manages the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment.
As you know, even though a lot of people called this sicko a psycho, and told the cops and FBI about it, they didn't do anything about it:
On the day after Thanksgiving, Cruz was at work at a Dollar Tree store. Rocxanne Deschamps’ son, Rock, 22, called 911 to report that an "adopted 19-year-old son" had possibly hidden a "gun in the backyard," according to a dispatcher’s notes. Rock Deschamps told law enforcement "there were no weapons allowed in the household"” the report said. It's unclear from the record whether sheriff's deputies conducted a search. The incident was classified as "domestic unfounded," which means a deputy didn't find proof to back up the claims.The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office was called again to the home four days later, when Rock said Cruz lashed out against the family that took him in, according to the Palm Beach deputy’s report and dispatcher notes. The deputy went to a local park and found Cruz, who explained that he had misplaced a photo of his recently deceased mother and, emotionally distraught, began punching the wall...

Rock interrupted Cruz and a fight broke out between them, according to the documents. Cruz left the home, and Rocxanne Deschamps called 911. She warned the police dispatcher that Cruz said "he was going to get his gun and come back," records show. She said Cruz had "bought a gun from Dick's last week and is now going to pick it up." Rocxanne Deschamps told the dispatcher that Cruz had "bought tons of ammo" and "has used a gun against ppl before," the notes said. "He has put the gun to others heads in the past."

Steele is not a U.S. citizen. Steele colluded with Russian interests in compiling his lurid dossier about Donald Trump. Steele did not register as a foreign agent. And Steele was paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign to find dirt on political rival Trump and his campaign."

The RFS has bankrupted its first refinery, more to follow - NetRight Daily

The RFS has bankrupted its first refinery, more to follow - NetRight Daily:
"...In 2005, Congress passed, and President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Among the many new regulations created in the legislation, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) was birthed.
The RFS mandated a certain amount of renewable fuels, mostly corn ethanol, be blended with gasoline.
See the source imageThe amount was 4 billion gallons in 2006 with a rise to 7.5 billion in 2012.
In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was passed.
The bill increased the amount of renewable fuel to be blended.
It required 9 billion gallons be blended in 2008 with an increase to 36 billion gallons in 2022.
Of course, this made the subsidy loving corn growers extremely happy.
The federal government was now mandating citizens purchase their product. 
...When the EPA instituted the program, it believed the costs would only be a few cents per RIN.
As usual, when the federal government gets involved the costs spiraled out of control.
Wall Street speculators now routinely drive up the prices.
In one seven-month period in 2013, the value of one RIN went from 7 cents to $1.43.
The volatility is creating economic hardships for refiners across the nation and has caused the largest refinery on the east coast to declare bankruptcy..."

"The way the Left swings into action every time a nut commits mass murder with a firearm, you would think that school shootings are the leading cause of death in the U.S.
Michael Ramirez reminds us that according to FBI homicide statistics, rifles are the country’s least popular murder weapon. 
If you really wanted to do something about violent crime, it would make more sense to crack down on knives.
Or fists..."

School shootings are still not the new normal

School shootings are still not the new normal
"...It is easy to believe that school shootings are the “new normal” as has been intimated, or that we are facing a crisis of epidemic proportions. 
When schools are placed on lockdown based on an active shooter alert (which many times is a false alarm), cable news channels immediately inform their viewers of the danger, and word is tweeted and retweeted to millions, most of whom have no direct connection to the event.
Image result for School shootings...For all those who believe that schools are under siege like never before, it is instructive to take a statistical road trip back in time.
Since 1990, there have been 22 shootings at elementary and secondary schools in which two or more people were killed, not counting those perpetrators who committed suicide.
Whereas five of these incidents have occurred over the past five-plus years since 2013, claiming the lives of 27 victims (17 at Parkland), the latter half of the 1990s witnessed seven multiple-fatality shootings with a total of 33 killed (13 at Columbine). 
In fact, the 1997-98 school year was so awful, with four multiple-fatality shooting sprees at the hands of armed students (in Pearl, Miss.; West Paducah, Ky.; Jonesboro, Ark.; and Springfield, Ore.), that then-President Clinton formed a White House expert committee to advise him. 
Nearly a decade later, President Bush convened a White House Conference on School Safety in the wake of multiple-fatality incidents during his administration...
...Notwithstanding the occasional multiple-fatality shooting that takes place at one of the 100,000 public schools across America, the nation’s schools are safe. 
Over the past quarter-century, on average about 10 students are slain in school shootings annually.
Compare the school fatality rate with the more than 100 school-age children accidentally killed each year riding their bikes or walking to school..."

Assault Weapons: An Emergency Bulwark against Tyranny | National Review:

Image result for Second Amendment"When facing the big questions about guns — such as whether America should “ban” an entire category of weapons (such as “assault weapons”) — it’s better, I think, to go back to the first principles embodied in the Second Amendment. At its core, the Amendment protects a person’s individual inherent right of self-defense and empowers the collective obligation to defend liberty against state tyranny. As Justice Scalia noted in District of Columbia v. Heller, this concept was fully embedded in the founding generation:"

Square root a gun? Louisiana student investigated over math symbol comments | Miami Herald:
"A discussion among students at Oberlin High School in Oberlin, La., about a mathematical symbol led to a police investigation and a search of one of the student’s homes, according to the Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office.
On the afternoon of Feb. 20, detectives investigated a report of terroristic threats at the school, where they learned that a student had been completing a math problem that required drawing the square-root sign.
Students in the group began commenting that the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number, looked like a gun..."

To deepen the crisis even further, it now appears some of Comey’s former FBI and Justice Department colleagues continue to protect him from accountability.

Three suspicious activities stand out, all intertwined: the so-called Comey Memos, Comey’s controversial testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee and Comey’s book deal."

Gov. Rick Snyder has a plan to get 800,000 Michiganders $60k jobs | MLive.com
"DETROIT, MI - Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday announced a broad plan to train Michiganders for the high-demand, high-wage careers that will power the state's economic future. 
Image result for what could possibly go wrong"Our country is facing a huge national challenge about getting people connected to careers," Snyder said at an unveiling of what he calls the "Marshall Plan for Talent" at the Michigan Science Center in Detroit on Thursday.  
...The governor projects businesses in Michigan need to fill 811,000 jobs by 2024, with an average salary of more than $60,000 in high-demand fields. 
If Michigan doesn't act, he said, those good jobs could go unfilled.
"That would be tragic. We need to hit the accelerator, folks," Snyder said.
...The program focuses heavily on partnerships between businesses and schools...
To implement the plan Snyder is proposing a $100 million investment from the state. 
The $100 million will be spent on things like:  
  • Scholarships and stipends for low-income Michiganders seeking certifications in high-demand careers.  
  • Providing incentives to teachers willing to get additional certifications into areas with shortages, like high school physics and career technical education.  
  • Grants to schools creating 'world-class curricula' that collaborate with businesses to create or expand classes that help prepare students for high-demand careers.  
  • Sharing best practices from those curricula and creating certification programs.  
  • Grants to schools partnering with businesses to train kids on the same high-tech equipment real businesses use.  
  • Incentives for increasing the number of students pursuing careers in cybersecurity.  
  • An awareness and outreach campaign to promote career opportunities..."

""While government believes that banning certain weapons will prevent potential criminals from acting, such bans mostly hurt those who seek to exercise their Second Amendment rights lawfully," Hamilton continued. "Government should look more carefully on how to mitigate the factors related to criminal behavior rather than infringing upon the rights of law-abiding citizens.""
