Syrian Migrants!

I don't know if this is organized or not, but Frontline had a program on Syria in November, 2015.

The journalist asked these teenage boys a question about life in Syria or their future and the young teenage boy said, when a boy turns 18 in Syria they are conscripted into the military for a year or more!!

I would think that's why we see so many well dressed young men, cellphones in hand, colored sneakers, if no one told me, I'd think they were Americans!

Finally a Politician With a Backbone!

Hopefully other Democratic and Republican politicans will follow Mr. Oceguera and leave the NRA!

Mr. Oceguera is risking political suicide by giving up his NRA membership, but he's putting the safety of the American people ahead of the NRA!

Besides politicians, gun owners across the country should resign from the NRA!

Why do Americans need all these weapons?

No other country in the world has these deadly weapons!
No other country in the world has this number of citizens killed by guns!

Don't blame the movies, video games etc, BECAUSE Canada our neighbor to the north and all the other countries in the world DO NOT have people going on rampages killing people!

Let's REPEAL the SECOND AMENDMENT and BAN GUNS from AMERICAN citizens!
These politicians need to STAND UP to the NRA!

Thank you Mr. Oceguera for standing up to the NRA!!!

Repeal the 2nd Amendment!

This is NOT the 1700's when this was put in the Constitution!

In the 1700's you had a rifle that needed gun powder, so it took a long time to load a gun!

Today we have AK-47 's and handguns that are able to shoot many rounds in seconds.

Other countries don't have all these mass shootings, BECAUSE their citizens aren't ALLOWED to own guns!

As soon as Australia had ONE mass shooting, they banned weapons!

In the U.S. When we have a mass shooting, the NRA ENCOURAGES people to go out and BUY MORE WEAPONS! This is insane!!!!!

America should ban ALL WEAPONS! Who needs them?
Other countries don't worry that their governments have guns and that the public doesn't!
So what's wrong with the U.S.?

Let's break the UNITED STATES up into smaller countries, those with the SECOND AMENDMENT and those who don't allow the SECOND AMENDMENT!

I'm tired of all these mass shootings, just when will they stop?
Not UNTIL the people say ENOUGH is ENOUGHT!

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do!

I have advocated for our country to be broken up into different countries, many times!

The country should be broken up with the red and blue states going their own way.

All the over the top NRA gun owners, anti abortion, war for any reason , anti poor, anti government , anti climate change, anti social security,anti obama care, etc... Groups should all live in their own country!

If these Republicans want to carry weapons in the open, or have the freedom to shoot anyone then let them live in their OWN CRAZY country's!

I'd like to live in a safe country with NO GUNS!!!!!
A country that is run by SANE people.

I hope SOMEONE in Congress will suggest that states secede from the UNITED STATES!
The sooner the better.

Paying For Nothing!

My daughter just had a baby, I'm told I have to have a whooping cough vaccination! I've had that vaccination, but now anyone visiting the baby needs a booster shot.

Just whose idea is that?
I think it's the pharmaceutical companies, who are making a ton of money off this.

Whose recommending this vaccination shot?
The doctors, who more than likely are on the payroll of the pharmaceutical companies.

I have medicare, in which $104 is taken out of my very small check.
I've been forced to get Part D which is for prescriptions (I don't take any) that's $45 a month!
I had to get supplemental insurance and that's $113 a month!

When I went to Walgreens I was told the shot would cost $63 and medicare doesn't cover it, another pharmacy said $60 and medicare doesn't cover it.
My Part D doesn't cover the vaccination and neither does my supplemental, they only cover what medicare covers!
So I'm spending $262 every month FOR NOTHING!!
Medicare only covers the Flu, Hepatitis B and a shot for pneumonia!

We are the wealthiest nation in the world and yet our healthcare covers NOTHING!!
If we didn't spend billions of dollars on defense, maybe the American people would have proper medical coverage!

We need Bernie Sanders as our next President! He fights for the people of this country. Our country NEEDS a political revolution!

Follow The Money!

Frontline said they got a lot money from OIL!

They also said, kidnappings, taxes on the local people, lots of taxes on the people for everything.
I have read that other countries have supplied them with money, NOT religious charities!

Follow The Money!

I'd like to know who is BUYING all the oil from ISIS?

Who is SELLING them AK-47s, rifles, guns, materials to make explosives, trucks, etc!

What COUNTRIES are FUNDING them, somebody has to be?

Frontline had a program on ISIS this week on PBS, they said ISIS PAYS poor farmers, or anyone that they recruit $700 a MONTH!!! That's a lot of money in those poor countries to make each month. So is ISIS about religion, or about making enough money to support a family?

Is it about misfits in society who use religion as an excuse to bully, intimidate, kill, torture, everyone around them?

FOLLOW the MONEY!

What Banks are LAUNDERING their money?
What countries are supplying them with arms?
What countries let them cross borders freely?
They couldn't do this without help!
Why are they ALLOWED the airwaves of the Internet, to broadcast their murders, beheadings?
Are you telling me with ALL our technology, WE CAN'T block YOUTUBE?
Without an audience they'd be nowhere!

FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!

Postal Banking

England has had postal banking for years. A little post office would be in a news agents shop or in a small little general store. You could buy stamps, mail packages and do banking.

Not sure if with branch banking if some of these postal branches were closed.

War Criminal!

Since when are WAR CRIMINALS HONORED ?

I don't care if Vice Presidents have a statue or not. THIS Vice President IS a WAR CRIMINAL and should be prosecuted NOT honored at the Senate.

This is outrageous!
Of course the American tax payer gets stuck with the bill!

$100 million for What?

Why are we spending OUR tax dollars on Syria?

Seniors this year are not getting an increase in benefits , but contributions to medicare are going up! Plus many expenses a senior needs like, eyes, dental, hearing aids aren't covered by Medicare!
The middle class are being taxed and taxed and and the rich pay no taxes!

Many people getting government benefits are losing them, yet we can find millions for another countries wars! Think food stamps, disability, preschool, etc.

Our infrastructure is falling apart and yet we can find $100 million dollars for Syria!

Why are we the world's policeman? It's not our job and I'm sick and tired of pouring money into other countries when we need the money here to help our own people!

How about paying off or forgiving ALL the student loans out there? Our government is making $85 billion dollars in interest off those student loans! Obviously student loan interest is helping pay for a Syrian war!
