D. C. MCALLISTER: When Liberals Didn’t Mind ‘Bringing Guns Into the Schools.’ “Yes, even Obama.”
PARKLAND SCHOOL VIDEOS: No matter where you stand on gun-control or school shootings, everyone should support this. Michelle Malkin nails it in The Daily Signal:
“Release the videos. Let the public, especially competent security experts, see them. Without transparency, there can be no accountability. Without accountability, “Never Again” is yet another empty, expedient cable TV sound bite in an ocean of self-serving rhetoric.”
GEORGE KORDA: Guns, and why the ideological screaming never stops.
It’s instructive that after Parkland liberal fire is aimed principally at the National Rifle Association (NRA) and not the FBI. This is though the FBI admits it didn’t follow its own protocols, including not reacting to a tip that the reportedly-confessed killer wanted to be a “professional school shooter.”
Some ask what the FBI could have done even if it had acted. A person can’t be arrested for what they might do. However, that’s irrelevant. Whatever difference the FBI could have made was lost in the bureaucracy.
The FBI escapes wholesale condemnation because Donald Trump is at odds with the bureau. Also, he has criticized the FBI for its Parkland shooter mistakes. Trump haters in politics and the media would rather self-perform a root canal without anesthetic than seem to be siding with Trump on anything.
Local law enforcement was called to the shooter’s home at least 39 times. The shooter was expelled from school for disciplinary reasons. He was known for committing violent acts. The armed school resource officer stayed outside the building. Three sheriff’s deputies reportedly didn’t enter the school to see if they could save lives.
Trying to pin down the breakdown’s source is hard. Blaming the NRA is easy. And in that regard there’s a take-no-prisoners attitude and a not-on-your-life reaction.

IN THE EMAIL FROM ELLIE FERGUSON (A PEN NAME OF AMANDA S. GREEN, WHOM YOU KNOW FROM HER POSTS ON MY BLOG DISSECTING BOTH HILLARY AND LENIN): Light Magic.
When Meg Sheridan arrived in Mossy Creek, Texas, she had one goal in mind: to fulfill her mother’s dying wish. Now, less than a month after burying her mother, all Meg knows about the town is that it has always been a haven for the Others, even before they made their existence known to the world. As an Other herself, that should reassure Meg. Instead, it raises more questions than it answers. More than that, she has one very large problem. She doesn’t know why her mother wanted her to come to Mossy Creek. Worse, she soon learns not everyone is willing to welcome her with open arms.
Faced with the daunting task of discovering not only why her mother sent her to Mossy Creek but also with uncovering why her mother fled there years before, Meg is determined to find the truth. Along the way, she discovers something else. Even in death, her mother is looking out for her – if Meg will let her.
And if she will accept the friendship and love of those who knew her mother all those years ago.
But danger awaits her as well. Secrets decades old and resentments going back generations seethe just below the surface. Do those secrets have anything to do with why Meg’s mother wanted her to come to town? Will discovering them help her understand why her mother fled Mossy Creek so long ago?
Or will they lead to something much more sinister. . . and deadly?

IT’S NOT A MATTER OF THE COLOR OF WHO IS BEING EXPELLED. ANY COUNTRY WHO EXPELS A SKILLED MINORITY SUFFERS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE.

JAZZ SHAW: As corporations lean left, they risk tipping over.
The thing is, the executives making these decisions aren’t so concerned with what their customers think, as with what their peers think.
TO BE FAIR, IT’S NOT A “SHITHOLE COUNTRY” YET, BUT IT’S WELL ON THE WAY WITH ITS CURRENT LEADERSHIP: THOUSANDS SIGN PETITION ASKING TRUMP TO LET WHITE FARMERS IN SOUTH AFRICA MIGRATE TO U.S. AFTER COUNTRY VOTES TO FORCE THEM OFF LAND.
Besides, there’s no immediate danger: “Malema has been a strong supporter of confiscating land from white farmers, saying in 2016 he was ‘not calling for the slaughter of white people–at least for now.'”
