Some people won’t be happy with today’s discussion. That’s OK, they weren’t happy over the weekend, either. From the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre to No Kings Day protests and related events, discord was everywhere this weekend. Some people will exploit anything to further their emotional needs. Yes, alphabet people, I’m talking about you.
Businesspeople at Walmart were scrambling to get away from the Walton family heiress as she championed the anti-Trump protests very publicly. I can’t say that I blame them.
In Portland, several officers were injured after the No Kings protest ended and an ICE facility was attacked by rioters.
Political assassinations happened in Minnesota and their No Kings protests were subdued or shut down. The suspect has been captured after an intensive manhunt.
The Israel/Iran conflict continues and some US officials need to learn to keep their mouths shut.
Florida’s legislature is finally scheduled to vote on a budget before this day is done. It’s only 6 weeks overdue and the governor is losing a pet project that is likely to cause another tantrum like he’s been throwing of late.
Welcome to a Monday. It already feels like one, doesn’t it?
