George Carlin also had some pearls of wisdom.

Apparently it's the automakers fault when people forget to shut their cars off

The lawsuit claimed that the 10 automakers have long known about the risks of keyless ignitions, which have been available in the United States since at least 2003, yet deceived drivers by marketing their vehicles as safe.

So they "deceived" drivers with a big ass on/off button on the dash

Ten automakers are sued in U.S. over 'deadly' keyless ignitions

The lawsuit was filed in the same federal court in Los Angeles where Toyota has defended against claims that its vehicles accelerated unintentionally.

U.S. District Judge James Selna in July 2013 approved a $1.6 billion settlement to resolve claims that Toyotas lost value because of that defect. The ignition lawsuit was assigned to U.S. District Judge Andre Birotte.

Just a coincidence I'm sure

I'm starting to get a kick out of all my liberal Facebook friends' daily whines. The simple fact that Trump wakes up in the morning is enough to set some of them off.

And Wilson......STOP CHANGING THE DAMNED TITLE!!!

It's no fun when your mom is one of them. She will fly off the handle when we are on the phone. Go into screaming rants. Nobody wants to even deal with a person like that, let alone be around them.

My mom was one of them, and due to her health she lived with me for the last 20 years of her life. Forget the phone, imagine hearing it live and in person every time you turned around.

I've been helping my mom for the last few days. She has actually limited her outbursts. After I told her how people do not like dealing with her has really opened her eyes. It also helps that she was diagnosed with diabetes and needs to get her blood sugar down. It was in the five hundreds.

My mom didn't care, but she did put on an act in public. Nurses, doctors, receptionists all thought she was a sweetheart.....Yeah, she had them all fooled.

How about some classic Nancy Pelosi spin on the jobs report for this Sat morning?

if this is how Pelosi and the Democrats are responding to the jobs reports, they’re going to be very disappointed come November. Get a new playbook; this one doesn’t work anymore:

May’s jobs report shows that strong employment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new costs under the Republicans’ watch.

“Republicans’ cruel, cynical health care sabotage campaign is already spiking families’ premiums by double digits and pushing millions off their coverage, according to the nonpartisan CBO. Big Pharma continues to hoard the benefits of the GOP tax scam, using their handouts to further enrich executives and shareholders instead of lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and sick kids. At the same time, the President’s reckless policies are exploding gas prices, wiping out the few meager gains that some families should have received from the GOP tax scam, as wages remain stagnant.

“From day one, the White House and Republicans in Congress have sold out working and middle class families to further enrich the wealthy and big corporations shipping jobs overseas.

Self-proclaimed pedophile running for Congress in Virginia
Friday, June 1st 2018, 4:54 pm EDT

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (WWBT) -

A man from Charlottesville, Virginia - who openly admits to being a pedophile - is running for Congress.

Nathan Larson told the Huffington Post that he also raped his late ex-wife and thinks all women should be classified as property.

He called himself a quasi-neoreactionary libertarian candidate on his website - which has since been taken down.

He told the Huffington Post that he believes women have rape fantasies and that he wants to protect “benevolent white supremacy.” He also wants to legalize both incestuous marriage and child porn.

"A lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it...People prefer when there’s an outsider who doesn’t have anything to lose and is willing to say what’s on a lot of people’s minds," Larson told the Huffington Post.

In 2009, Larson pleaded guilty to threatening to kill the U.S. president, according to the Washington Post. His criminal record prevented him from running for office - until his rights were restored last year by former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.

Gun Violence Is Only the Symptom of a Very Troubled Society

A nation that glorifies war and exports violence with unparalleled scope cannot be surprised when its own people are forced to suffer the consequences

More than 70,000 peope are expected to attend the NRA's 3-day annual meeting that features nearly 550 exhibitors, gun trade show and a political rally. The show runs from May 3-5.

Every time a horrific incident of mass violence occurs, we should study it with the same care that we study any subject in which our own life is at a stake, because it is. Mass shootings in the United States have reached levels unacceptable in a civilized society.

The abundance of guns plays an important role. In 2015, The Washington Post estimated that there were 357 million firearms nationwide; this, with a population of approximately 317 million. And these numbers don’t even include the number of unregistered guns in civilian hands. It is well known that there is a considerable and constant traffic of unregistered firearms in both directions across U.S. borders.

The cornucopia of firearms in civilian hands alone doesn’t explain by itself the high levels of violence. Cultural, political and economic factors are just as significant. Culturally, no other people assume they have the right to bear arms, regardless of the dire consequences of creating a gun-ridden society.

Andrew Exum, a former U.S. Army officer who was part of General Stanley McChrystal’s review of the American strategy in Afghanistan, wrote recently in The Atlantic, “After the September 11 attacks, I spent several years at war and then lived abroad as a civilian for another several years. And when I finally returned to the United States in late 2008, I noticed something different about the gun culture in the country to which I was so eager to return. For one, driving with my mother from our home in East Tennessee to Nashville, I noticed how many billboards on the side of the highway advertised guns. And not just any guns—these were not .30-06 hunting rifles or shotguns, but rather, the kind of tactical firearms, including assault rifles that I had carried in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why in the world, I thought then, would anyone have a need for such weapons?”

Another significant factor is the glorification of violence. It is estimated that when a child reaches adulthood, he will have seen 16,000 assassinations and 200,000 acts of violence on television. Statistics indicate that 15 to 24-year-olds are 49 times more likely to die from gun homicide in the U.S. than in any other country. It is difficult to deny that widespread gun ownership and violence in the media don’t have a role to play in these statistics. Today, the U.S. supplies most of the world’s violent media resources.

The politically motivated wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and the support to the war in Yemen have contributed to the creation of a climate of violence. Instead of combating terrorism, these ill-advised adventures have increased it and, as a result, have also increased the overall violence in the world.

That almost no politician has denounced the nefarious influence of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its responsibility in creating a culture of violence is a clear demonstration of that organization’s power. It took huge demonstrations of high-school kids—many of them survivors of gun violence—for the general population to become aware of the NRA’s impact.

According to a 2007 Small Arms Survey, the U.S., with only 4.4% of the world’s population has roughly 42% of the world’s guns. And yet, despite that almost 90% Americans approve establishing “commonsense” solutions to control the sale of guns, including universal background checks, arms sales continue to soar.

Several solutions involving “smart guns”, such as using biometrics to identify the arms’ rightful owners, have been proposed, but they are far from being widely adopted. Also, although smart guns can prevent the guns from being used by somebody who is not its rightful owner, they cannot prevent mass shootings from arms purchased legally.

A comprehensive set of laws that would limit gun sales, gun ownership, illegal trade in arms, and banning high caliber ones would show the legislators’ intention to control gun violence, and that they are serious about finding a solution. Until we, as a society, stop the glorification of violence and the irresponsibly easy access to guns, we will continue to suffer its consequences.

Melania Trump Criticized For Not Being Michelle Obama
June 6, 2018
Share on Facebook
Tweet on Twitter

WASHINGTON, D.C.—First Lady Melania Trump came under heavy fire from various media outlets and political pundits Wednesday after it was revealed that she is not in fact Michelle Obama.

Liberal news sites and broadcasts took the First Lady to task for never having been Michelle Obama at any point during her husband’s tenure as President.

“She doesn’t look like Michelle Obama, she doesn’t talk like Michelle Obama,” one CNN anchor said in his program, as the screen displayed images of the two First Ladies side by side to prove the point. “The bottom line is that she isn’t Michelle Obama at all, and we’re going to slam her for absolutely everything she does or doesn’t do until she addresses her egregious failure to be Michelle Obama.”

“We simply can’t let her get away with this,” he added, shaking his finger at the camera.

Various progressive outlets also confirmed they would continue to “make a mountain out of a molehill” with every single minute aspect of Mrs. Trump’s public and private life, claiming that she deserves the criticism for her complete refusal to be Michelle Obama throughout her time in the White House.
