Random Thoughts and News for a Monday Morning

Following are some random thoughts concerning issues in the news:

Whatever became of “our girls“ in Nigeria? Their cause fell off the front pages fast, didn’t it? The girls are still in captivity, and now have been joined by others. Where’s Michelle Obama now? Off to California, on the taxpayers’ dime, to visit Malia, an aspiring filmmaker.

When “mass shooters” who happen to be white strike, the media always report how many guns were involved, the types of guns, how much ammo, what type ammo, and the source of the weapons, as well as whether or not the person had a permit or had legally purchased the weapon(s). Why don’t they do the same for inner-city shootings perpetrated (mostly) by “persons of color”? See here, here, and here for a reports about how at least 16 were killed and 82 were shot in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend. How’s that strict gun control working out for the people of Chicago?

The Invasion of the UACs (Unaccompanied Alien Children)

Our Independence Day celebrations were deliberately disrupted and dampened by numerous discouraging stories about the invasion of our country by hordes of “unaccompanied alien children”. These “children”, most of whom consist of young men in their late teens, are illegally entering our country after traversing at least a thousand miles of the deserts of Mexico, a country which seems to be doing nada to stop them. Hundreds of the “unaccompanied” are age two or younger. Imagine them crawling or toddling across the border!
