"Trump's Lie is Another Test for Christian America."          
 -- Russell Moore in The Atlantic

Ridding our country of assault weapons is a pro-life initiative we need to take seriously. Sadly we have a MAGA mob who tout The King James Bible they hold in one hand as justifying the AR15 they hold in the other as the American way.

What will Secret Service do to protect our leaders with the highest level of protection when our country is awash with firearms?        
The community of Springfield, Ohio does not have a protective detail.

              When did violence              
         become a legitimate form            
              of political speech?

           We have heard explicit racism.

JD Vance ahd Trump have defamed and terrorized the residents of Springfield, Ohio.

Usha Vance, where are you? Have you no word of rebuke for the man whose name you and your children bear? You and JD are both scholars... who would know? The residents of Springfield, Ohio are your husband's constituents. JD has slandered Haitians who are legal residents of  Sringfield, Ohio same as he slandered his peoplle in "Hillbilly Elegy." Do you value truth?

Welcome or not, Trump doubles down, says he will visit Springfield, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado in the next two weeks.

  Sarah Huckabee Sanders, you lack humility.

From his own mouth, I heard Republican political strategist Mike Murphy say that JD Vance contacted him in 2018 about running as an anti-Trump Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.          
JD Vance's lack of concern about his constituents in Springfield, Ohio exposes his craven ambition to wield power at any cost. Sadly, a man who expounds on all that the responsibility of parenthood bestows on citizens, his physical ability to father children did not come with the maturity he assumed accompanies the role nor insight into the impact modeling has on one's own children.

History's dark side is filled with people who chose not to know and those who knew full well and chose not to do anything about it.

Some people, namely Trump and his MAGA running mate, leave no thought unexpressed, nevermind how denigrating and nonsensical. Concern for the 'other' and/or fact-checking matters not to them.    
Finally, after being pressed by Dana Bash, JD Vance admitted the story about Haitians eating their neighbors' pets was fabricated to create fear of immigrants. But it wasn't his fault, Kamala made him do it.          
MAGA hasn't blinked; they've been brainwashed to believe the end justifies the means, even when the innocent are terrorizedý and the community is put to great expense to provide security for their citizens.      
At last Ohio Republican Gov. Dewine has condemned Trump and Vance for what they're doing and continue doing to Springfield, Ohio.

Forget the pleas of Republican officeholders, Trump is Johnny one-note. He is holding that note no matter who he hurts - his purpose is to create fear and anxiety about the "other".          
Shame on JD Vance for the crescendo, holding that note on Springfield, Ohio.

and then there's tariffs

and him being the protector of women

   Trump has his crowds cheering for Putin.        
   It's shocking!

   Canada has a Trump-like candidate too.        
   It's scary.      
   We take Canadians' sanity for granted.

President Zelenskyy has great courage and integrity, and the diplomatic skills to speak with Trump who touts his relationship with Putin.

Netanyahu is short on diplomatic skills. Nevertheless, U.N. members should have heard him out.        
Opposing Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic.

It is troubling to know how many Americans are determined to vote for Trump. Donald Trump in his own words dehumanizes and degrades everyone and he specifies his threats. How is it that neither Trump nor Vance are expected to answer about their policy?

   Vance fell short, unable to answer the question:        
   "Who won the 2020 election."        
   He wanted to look to the future,          
   he found himself mired in Trump's big LIE.

     "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

Kamala Harris has exceeded my expectations. Liz Cheney is a woman of extraordinary courage.
Seeing Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney stand together in Ripon, Wisconsin makes me proud to be an American, a Wisconsinite, and a woman seeking moral clarity.
