A Prayer For Gun Reform

When Jesus told Peter to put away his sword,
He spoke a truth both simple and profound:
"Those who live by the sword, die by the sword."
And we are dying. And dying. And dying.
There is no safe place in a country
That swells with an ocean of weapons.
Lord of mercy, prince of peace,
Strengthen the lungs of the living
To cry out for change.
May our song of lament be long and loud,
May its deep roar shake us from complacency,
Until we are free from terror,
Until we may say, and we may see,
That no more, no more, no more shall perish.
Amen.

Would love to see Ryan debate Vance; don't know if any are planned at present.

Ryan needs to tone down anti-Chinese rhetoric - I think he's already gotten that message.
Ryan is visually more appealing - more animated and fitter than chunky Vance.

The double standard is in your mind. Melania did not speak out, and you have no idea

what Speaker Pelosi is thinking or doing in this regard.

Yes, at 82 he should have a driver, alcohol or not.

I recall a well-regarded 70plus local attorney being stopped and cited for DUI at one time.
Soon after the gentleman was diagnosed with a degree of dementia.
Obviously, the man's judgement was impaired and likely the DUI revealed the degree of dementia onset.

A family member of mine was in the same San Francisco social club as Paul Pelosi and said Pelosi kept a low profile, i.e., did not throw his weight around in the club.

Uvalde is in Central Time Zone, but close to NM with Mountain Time Zone.

So lighter later than Easterners expect.

Agree. She could declare herself an Independent, even after winning

re-election as a Republican.
Such a decision would have to be her own personal choice, of course.
