Funny how the left is using the Texas shooter to tell us we don’t need guns when it turns out the armed people that they provide us with (the police) were unwilling to act. ‘

I would think that this demonstrates that we need armed citizens more than ever.

It’s rather insulting to see singers cut and run over the NRA convention because of the school shooting. The whole: because one person is guilty all the innocent have to be punished should be beneath them but it’s even more insulting to see fools in congress doing the same. I hope conservatives remember both in November and when it’s time to spend their entertainment dollars.

It’s been three or four years since I suggested the easiest way to permanently solve this problem is recruiting a group of ex police/military among the grandparents to act as armed guards in schools. Not only would such sixty somethings be highly motivated to protect their grandkids schools but they would serve as excellent role models for the kids.

That’s why it will never happen, the left goal is not to protect kids it’s about having an issue to run with politically and disarming the American people who they see as serfs at best and enemies at worst.

You know there was a time in living memory when schools were awash with guns and with gun clubs yet these type of school shootings never ever happened. By an odd coincidence these were times before prayer was removed from schools by judicial fiat and when corporal punishment was removed by the cultural fiat of those who had no respect for what they now call the greatest generation.

Hey, the left wanted a post Christian society where the principles of “Thou Shalt not Kill” and “Love your enemies and “pray for those who persecute you” were gone. So that Godless society, how’s that working out for you?

Finally what the Democrat/left would really like is a Uvalde every other week from now till election day to change the subject from their horrible performance in office. Of course Don Surber pointed out a rather obvious bit of reality that the Democrats have been providing a Uvalde every other week when it comes to kids getting shot in America and that’s just in Chicago

14 school massacres in 23 years led to 169 deaths

415 children ages 17 and under were killed in Chicago alone in 2021

We should talk about the media obsession over 7 deaths a year while ignoring the daily carnage in inner cities

There is your systemic racism https://t.co/lo26xQUFtd

Don Don Don Don Don, don’t you know that since those kids are shot in Democrat Cities controlled by Democrat Mayors and Democrat City Counselors and Democrat activists (all places with though gun laws btw) you are not allowed to bring this up as it doesn’t advance the narrative that is being advanced?

When I see Elizabeth Warren or Gavin Newsome of Beto outraged over the biweekly Uvaldes that take place in Democrat cities then I’ll take their outrage seriously. Until then they’re to be ignored.

I was going to do something about the State Farm groomer story and their sudden reverse once their internal emails became public but I figure per Don Surber waiting a day might be a good idea to see if Dell, or Capital One or General Mills decide to reverse themselves before slick ads detailing their corporation with this stuff gets the “Like a creepy neighbor” treatment.

Instead lets focus on opening day of my 1970 League which officially started yesterday. All the weeks of drafting and preparation come down to this day and my opening three game series with the New York Yankees.

With a Pennant under and a world series out of reach by two swings in the last of the 9th of the 7th game Seattle had several disadvantages going into the 1970 season:

• Only five players protected
• A weak rookie crop
• and shy a fifth round draft pick (traded for Ron Fairly)

Meanwhile the Yankees not only had 10 players on their keeper list but had Multiple draft picks from excellent trades last sason.

While Seattle was able to require 2b Dick McAulffe and part time players Catcher Johnny Edwards (and OF Al Ferarra their entire pitching staff with the exception of Holtzman and Mike Torrez who were protected were drafted by other teams.

So if the Pilots were going to have any change to repeat either by a division win or sneaking in via the wild card game they would need Holtzman to carry the ball so to speak.

He did not disappoint not only pitching 9 innings of one run ball against a tough Yankee lineup but contributing with the bat with a one out single in the 5th which was followed by a double from the newly acquired catcher Jack Hiatt who while not having much of an arm has quite the batters eye/ Holtzman was running with the pitch and managed to score all the way from first for the second and decisive run off of Yankees ace Fritz Peterson who pitched well in a losing cause.

Meanwhile for those of you interested here is the starting nine that the Pilots will be fielding this season by position.

Wish us luck. We’ll need it
