Republicans Are Not Welcome!

the owner of the used apple store in derry new hampshire has put on his facebook that republicans are evil and they are not welcome in his store.

he has done tv interviews now saying that republicans simply should not try to come in and he can generally tell if someone is a republican.

it is interesting that a business owner can bar someone because of their political opinions but if a business owner conscientiously couldn’t make a cake for a gay couple,they are in legal jeopardy..

in the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.

it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?

my goodness.

Is it a Gun Issue or a Mental Illness Issue or Both?

we have had another shooting.

many are blaming trump and the republicans and the nra.. is it because of guns that there are so many massacres or could it be that these killers are mental?.

do you think guns should be removed from our society so that these atrocities never occur again?

i used to pretty much believe anything they would report.

now, though, i find myself questioning “journalists “, with the realization that much of what is said may be inaccurate or slanted..

more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.

i didn't know it was so widespread...but it's a big problem in biology/medicine..

the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

so should be interesting.
