Lately in America

Lately in America:

• There was a high school shooting in Colorado today -- three high students wounded (includes the shooter.)
• Prominent conservative podcaster and executive of a conservative activist organization was shot in the neck [WARNING: GRAPHIC] in Utah while speaking to a large group outdoors, and died. After a chase of a few hours the suspect is now in custody. 
• This activist, Charlie Kirk, once said that these kind of events are "unfortunately" worth it in order to keep the precious Second Amendment. 
• I think they really think a country where everyone is armed and carrying will be a much safer society.
• The US Secretary of the Interior recently said that an underwater “swarm drone attack” was part of the reason for the Trump administration’s decision to halt construction on the 704-megawatt (MW) Revolution Wind offshore wind farm, which had already reached 80 per cent completion. The Secretary told a CNN journalist there are “concerns about radar relative to undersea” and, in particular “undersea drones”.
• Apparently it was just discovered that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that funds everything, passed last month, "finds that President Trump’s flagship legislation will grant $40 billion in new subsidies to the oil and gas industry over the next decade."

That's enough for today. This country is really getting to be fracking exhausting.

Added 6:30 pm: Just to be clear, I am not trying to minimize Charlie Kirk's assassination. I am not implying he deserved it. Far from it. This was a horrible thing to happen--the guy has a family with children--and it's a terrible thing and you have to feel for the family. It's also a horrible thing because political violence seems to be rising in the US: Trump was almost assassinated last summer, two Democratic state representatives were killed just 6 weeks ago, and now this. And of course school shootings seemingly every other day. We are headed downhill and the slope is getting more negative.
