Louisiana's Little Boy Congressman In The U.S. House Steve Scalise Strikes Out In President Biden's Veto.

President Biden vetoed legislation passed by the GOP controlled U.S. House that was introduced by Scalise and his majority leader Kevin McCarthy.  The President vetoed the legislation because it jeopardizes the hard earned life savings of cops, firefighters, teachers and other workers according to White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson.  The legislation would have reinstated a Trump era ban on federal managers of retirement plans considering factors such as climate change, social impacts or pending lawsuits when making investment choices.   

The House failed in its attempt to overide the President's veto and once again it demonstrates why Nancy Pelosi was such a highly regarded and capable speaker of the U.S. House.  Nancy has political understanding, something necessary and needed to govern.  It is something Scalise and the GOP lack and why they are trying to reverse legislation approved previously by the Biden administration.  

And yes, Nancy Pelosi is still a better woman than Scalise and the GOP are men.  And that really says it all.

Elected Officials Have Failed To Protect Our School Children As The Killing Continues Again and Again.

 This time at a religious school in Nashville, Tenn., where three nine year old school children and three adults were gunned down and killed by a shooter with two assault type weapons and a hand gun according to Nashville police.  And once again young school children are paying the price with their lives because our elected officials have failed to take the necessary steps to protect them.

The same mentally that is trying to ban books in our schools, discriminate against certain people and continue to support trump's personal attacks against law enforcement people and support his stolen elections lies are the same officials who oppose common sense solutions to gun violence deaths.  They also refuse to finance the means to keep our schools and its children safe.  And they are the same ones aligned with the NRA and benefit from the NRA's huge campaign war chest.

We can also predict that Nashville will not be the last school where children who represent our future will die by gun violence.  Unfortunately, we know that because it is a repeat of events that have taken place over and over again and again.  And every time there are those in power who just turn their backs like the cowards they are and do nothing to stop the carnage.

The people need to ask themself how can they continue to support such officials who lack the character and courage to be responsible and stand up to what is taking place.  Innocent school children who do not have the means to protect themself against assault type weapons should have an opportunity to grow up in a safe school, educate themself so they can become good productive citizens and live the American dream.  There is no greater tragedy than taking the life of a child at school.  Sending prayers after school gun violence deaths is not the answer or a commitment to stop the killings.
