{ sarcastic as hell } lets make schools have less doors my behind. ted you are a complete idiot and how you remain in office is beyond me. what happens when a school fire starts up? they have fire drills for a reason.

you guys want to stop a woman and her right to abort a baby and that is not a punishment? but it is ok to supply deadly weapons to kids and mentals and you deem it a punishment to make them harder to get or to remove them? you do not give a damn all you want is to save babes right? what the hell do you people think we are doing? trying to save lives. it is the same damn argument pretty much except it is ok for your side and we are enemies of the state? in the vein of discussion explain how you justify this?

political gain is bulll. i just want those children and elderly to have a fighting chance. the repukes certainly have done nothing. nothing. for political gain. it is YOUR guys rallying cry. you want a gun that shoots faster and be damned who gets hurt because of it. you put shiny guns ahead of children turned into hamburger meat. your side has a bill just sitting around that does not take guns away and you side chose to sit on it. you guys have been cruying the same ol crap for too many years and too many children are dying. it is insane.................

you speaking for all the others in america you do not know and have never met? you know damn well they are toys to a lot of people. in fact owning some types of rifles now is a status symbol like owning a lexus or something. you might be legit. i see them every day and listen to what they say. like some guy posted earlier in this thread we have had 88 mass shootings in this country since the beginning of this year and you want to tell me they are responsible gun owners? you take your weapons serious and so do others and i know plenty but too many do no. it is a status symbol to many and if you cannot see that i have no idea what to tell you.

if people were honest most guns are toys to people and most of you know this even if you will not admit. the dirty little secret is many of you claim to think war is coming and even some of the nuts on your side are spewing this. you can protect a home with a pistol or a shotgun. you guys want to keep your right to play with guns while some those children were shot up so bad they were hamburger meat. they are having to use dna to identify some of those kids. how many years does it take to prove owning a gun will ever stop a mass shooting? how many have to know before you admit you might be wrong? how many more hundreds or thousands have to die before you can admit you might be wrong? guys the second amendment had more to do with whites protecting themselves from slaves. by far the largest population of people in the NE when all this happened were slaves. so many in fact the whites feared for their lives thus the domestic enemies thing. there are lots of articles on google if you dare to look.

it should break everyone hearts but some are more angry they might lose a right to carry certain weapons

did you see this in the earlier video? here is the most important thing kerr said..........Kerr accused a group of senators of defying the will of the American people by not acting on H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act that the House approved more than a year ago. the percentage of american people wanting this is 79%. i am pretty sure this is a majority in this country but it falls on deaf ears. to be completely blunt which i am anyway is the right just does not frigging care. period. it is shameful.

first off i am a gun owner. and you are wrong about cops and guns. i have heard them state how much more dangerous their job is now so enough with that unless you have a link. those school kids are just as important as babies. as for the border less folks are coming across than ever before in our history. as far as demonizing cops we are for doing the right thing like not murdering someone that does not have a gun. i have family that were in law enforcement civilian and military.if you go to the control room in anniston popo department you will see an american flag with a blue stripe on it that i gifted them when they were under a lot of heat. you can come up with all the lame excuses you want but you just cannot compare mass murder to other things. the fact is your choice does not trump the rights everyday citizens to keep from getting their ass shot off everytime you leave the house. all i can see is a selfish person who does not care what happens to others as long as they get to keep a certain type of gun. and before you continue to sling mistruths about my family you should ask first. i will tell you. again i am a gun owner but we need real laws that are steps forward in protecting folks. is it hard for you to try to seek a solution other than basically calling someone a liar and watching kids get murdered in cold blood. it is going to happen over and over again until something is done. so you are basically saying you are ok with that? can you really have it both ways? come on man. tell me your number of children deaths before you realize you could have been trying to find a solution?

lets be clear here the right is the problem. the republicans are the problem. this crap has been going on way too long. dems have pretty much always been for better gun control and legislation. WHO always stops it? and be honest. i understand some do not want a right taken away. but if you cannot protect the young and the old do we deserve it? praying makes us feel better and absolves of guilt. there are many things that can be done but it is going to be a long and hard road to do so. if it ever gets done. and if you are not willing to compromise to lower or stop this mess then YOU are part of the problem. in the mean time now kids will never feel safe in school again and if you guys think that is not gonna trigger a ton of issues. and what about the people that witness this mess? they will never be the same. what about the mothers? what about the parents telling their kids school will be safe here. i wonder if they cry out for their mother or father when they lay on the floor dying? and what really enrages me is all the folks on the right making fun of the school kids who tried to stand up and get something done. they were crucified in the press. have you people forgotten about that? i hope the names of the fifty pols that refuse to move gun legislation forward get highlighted here. they should be charged accessories to murder. and those fighting any gun laws or restrictions have blood on their hands as well. this crap should have been handled years ago. ask a cop how they feel about todays fun laws. i mean you guys are pro police right? they have been thrown under the bus as well. this is sad and the way we handle this is ugly. many of you could care less and we know it. i just wish you guys had to view the dead bodies and then have to sit down and discuss to the parents why they do not want to enact on any meaningful changes. this is a crap show and you can denie it all you want but at the end of the day kids are dying.

Auburn Basketball Bruce Pearl unsure if Auburn basketball will use final scholarship for next season Updated: May. 23, 2022, 5:38 p.m. | Published: May. 23, 2022, 12:03 p.m. Bruce Pearl discusses Auburn's offseason roster plans By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Fresh off a weeklong trip to Israel, Bruce Pearl is feeling a bit biblical, at least when it comes to the makeup of Auburn’s basketball roster for next season. As of Monday, when Pearl met with reporters ahead of his annual Fore the Children Golf Classic in Alexander City, Auburn is expected to have 12 of its 13 available scholarships filled for next season following a prompt offseason roster reload. The Tigers lost All-Americans Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler, as well as Devan Cambridge to the transfer portal, while adding Morehead State transfer Johni Broome and a trio of 2022 signees in Yohan Traore, Chance Westry and Tre Donaldson. Allen Flanigan and Dylan Cardwell also declared early for the NBA Draft, but the expectation seems to be that both will be back with the team by next week’s draft withdrawal deadline. “I have that scholarship available to us if we don’t sign another player in this recruiting period, and I don’t know whether we will or not,” Pearl said. “…I like our roster. I think I’ve got — I kind of feel a little bit like Noah. Since I just came back from Israel, let’s just go with Noah as a comparison: I’ve got two of everything. I’ve got at least two of every position and a little bit more depth at guard.” Heading into his ninth season at the helm for Auburn, Pearl seems satisfied with where his roster sits at this juncture of the offseason. Reloading after losing the best frontcourt in college basketball and two first-round picks — including the potential No. 1 overall selection in next month’s NBA Draft — in Smith and Kessler, is no easy task, but Pearl has been economical in his approach to retooling the Tigers’ roster. Auburn already had Westry, a versatile four-star wing who can play three positions — point guard, shooting guard and small forward — and Donaldson, a three-star combo guard who will primarily run point at Auburn, when the duo signed during November’s signing period. After Auburn’s season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and it became evident that the team would lose both Smith and Kessler, Pearl wasted little time in seeking out additions to the frontcourt. Auburn added Traore, a five-star combo forward and top-25 player in the 2022 class, after the 6-foot-10 big man decommitted from LSU in the wake of Will Wade’s firing in March. His commitment came on the last day of March. Then, on the final day of April, the Tigers added Broome — the reigning OVC Defensive Player of the Year — from the transfer portal. Broome signed with Auburn later that day and officially withdrew his name from the NBA Draft two weeks later. “Our frontline, we have five in the frontline,” Pearl said. “We lost two, we brought in two. Obviously, a great challenge when you lose the best player and the No. 1 pick in the draft and a first rounder in Walker Kessler — you lose the best frontline in college basketball. But to be able to replace those guys with Yohan Traore and Johni Broome, two really good young prospects. Pretty required, it was required.” After rapid roster rebuild, Pearl intrigued by Auburn's frontcourt versatility The four and the five could be interchangeable in Auburn's system next season after the additions of Yohan Traore and Johni Broome, along with the return of Jaylin Williams. Auburn also tried to land five-star forward Julian Phillips after he was released from his letter of intent by LSU, but Phillips chose to sign with Tennessee instead. That was the last major prospect on the board for Auburn, which will continue to assess its available options with regards to the final roster spot. Whether the Tigers choose to use that scholarship will depend in part on whether Flanigan withdraws from the NBA Draft in the next week. If he returns, as many anticipate, Auburn could add one last piece or it could leave the scholarship open. Should the Tigers not sign another player, that scholarship could eventually go to a walk-on, with Lior Berman the most likely candidate. The other option is to leave that roster spot open and take the additional scholarship reduction required by the program’s NCAA penalty handed down last December. Part of the penalty, stemming from the Chuck Person scandal, requires Auburn to reduce its scholarships by two over the course of its four-year probation period; the Tigers already took away one of those scholarship spots last season, leaving one more to be reduced over the next three seasons. Though it seems Flanigan is likely to return, should he choose to stay in the draft, Auburn will almost assuredly add another piece this offseason. That would come after the June 1 deadline for players to withdraw from the draft while retaining their college eligibility. While the pool of available players in the portal will become more finite at that point, Pearl acknowledged the need to take a measured approach to adding another player, given the makeup of Auburn’s roster, with several key returning pieces. It’s a different situation than a year ago, when Auburn saw Sharife Cooper and JT Thor enter the draft, while Justin Powell, Jamal Johnson and Javon Frankin all transferred out of the program, and the Tigers signed just one freshman — Smith. That allowed Auburn to bring in four transfers in Kessler, K.D. Johnson, Wendell Green Jr. and Zep Jasper without “really recruiting over anybody’s heads.” “It’s got to be the right player, the right fit,” Pearl said. “…I think this year, with some guys being upperclassmen — Wendell Green, in his third year now, we’re not going bring in a transfer on top of him. K.D. Johnson, in his third year of college, you’re going to bring in a transfer on top of him? Jaylin Williams, in his fourth year now, do you bring in a transfer on top of him? We brought some young guys to compete with them. We feel like that was the fairest way of rebuilding our roster. “I’m not a ‘bring in the 13 best guys we can find and let the best man win’ guy. That’s never been how I’ve been. There are other coaches in our league who are that way. It doesn’t make them wrong. I’ve just never done it that way.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

Auburn’s Allen Flanigan gets ‘fresh starting point’ at NBA’s G League Elite Camp By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-7 minutes Mar 5, 2022; Auburn, AL, USA; Allen Flanigan (22) goes up for a dunk between Auburn and South Carolina at Neville Arena. Mandatory Credit: Jacob Taylor/AU AthleticsJacob Taylor/AU Athletics A rocky junior campaign did not prevent Allen Flanigan from testing the NBA Draft waters this offseason. After a shaky 2021-22 campaign in which he missed the start of the season due to injury and never regained his form after preseason Achilles surgery, Flanigan was one of four Auburn players to declare early for the NBA Draft. The decision for Flanigan is one that could serve as a soft reset of sorts and a launching pad for his senior season after he participated in last week’s G League Elite Camp in advance of the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. Read more Auburn hoops: Bruce Pearl unsure if Auburn will fill final scholarship spot for next season Opening week of Auburn’s 2022-23 schedule set Post-lottery NBA Draft projections for Jabari Smith, Walker Kessler “I think the experience was really good, and I think he wanted that experience as much as anything,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said Monday in Alexander City before his annual Fore the Children Golf Classic. “He wanted to be able to get sort of a fresh starting point on where he is right now as it relates to the draft, as it relates to the competition.” Flanigan was one of 44 players to participate in the G League Elite Camp, which took place over two days last week in Chicago. Across two scrimmages against professional-level competition, Flanigan 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, seven rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes of action. He scored six points on 3-of-4 shooting, with three rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes off the bench in the first scrimmage last Monday before following it up with a nine-point, four-rebound, two-assist performance in 19 minutes last Tuesday. In that second scrimmage, Flanigan shot 3-of-5 from the field and 1-of-2 from beyond the arc. While Flanigan was solid in those scrimmages, it wasn’t enough to garner a call-up to the combine. Only seven players who participated in the G League Elite Camp went on to receive combine invites. Still, it was a valuable opportunity for Flanigan, who Pearl said still has a couple of workouts scheduled with NBA franchises this week ahead of next week’s withdrawal deadline. Underclassmen have until June 1 to withdraw their names from the NBA Draft while still retaining their college eligibility. In recent years it has become easier and more common for underclassmen to dip their toes in the NBA Draft and use the pre-draft process for evaluation. After the 2017-18 season, a quartet of Auburn players took advantage of the opportunity, with Bryce Brown, Jared Harper, Austin Wiley and Mustapha Heron all declaring early before returning to school (in Heron’s case, he ultimately transferred to St. John’s). The expectation has been that Flanigan will return to Auburn, though a final decision on his future will come in the next week after he wraps up his scheduled workouts with NBA teams. “I think he learned a lot at the [G League Elite Camp]; what he did well, what he needs to do more of,” Pearl said. “And can he move the needle in the last two workouts? We’ll see, but I think the experience is going to be really good for him individually, and I think that’s why you have this window where you’re able to test the waters, but really learn as much as anything where you are, where the competition is and what needs to be done.” This time last year, Flanigan was viewed by many as a potential first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft after he took a significant jump from his freshman season to his sophomore year. As a sophomore he averaged 14.3 points on 45.4 percent shooting, including 33.8 percent from 3-point range, to go along with 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He was set to be one of the top returning players in the SEC as a junior, but his trajectory took a hit in the preseason when he sustained a partial Achilles tendon tear in an off-the-court incident. That injury required surgery and sidelined Flanigan for multiple months, causing him to miss much of the preseason and the first several games of the year. Once he returned to the rotation in December, Flanigan appeared in 22 games and made 20 starts on the wing for Auburn but struggled to return to his pre-injury form. He averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and a paltry 20.5 percent from beyond the arc. “You’ve got to feel for him,” Pearl said in late February. “And I want our fans to feel for him. I do. He was the fifth-leading returning scorer in the SEC. He was the only guy on our team that even got remotely anything in the preseason. I think he was a second-team preseason All-SEC (pick). He is, I think, our fifth or maybe our sixth-leading scorer. And he was the fifth-leading returning scorer in the league — the whole league! “So, you talk about catching an injury that takes you out three and a half months in September and, obviously, working his way back from it — not the same player he was a year ago offensively. That can wear on you.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

Extremist GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) wondered in a weekend interview why people are picking on homicidal white supremacists. She said that there are so many other criminals to complain about instead — like undocumented immigrants. She also said people should be talking about the “Asian man” who killed a member of a California church last week, and the “Black man” who drove his car into Wisconsin shoppers last year. She added, incongruously, that it “shouldn’t be about race.” Greene made the comments as she attacked Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) for railing last week in the House against the avowed white supremacist suspected in the mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket targeting Black people that killed 10. Why is there a “target” on white supremacists? Greene asked in an interview from her car (below) with the right-wing outlet Real America’s Voice. “White supremacy shouldn’t be the main target,” the lawmaker argued. “We should be more concerned about the illegal invasion at the border, the crime happening every single day on our streets, especially in cities like Chicago. We should go after criminals that break the law and not pursue people based on their skin color.” But race clearly is critically important in hate crimes. The FBI reported last year that the number of hate crimes in the U.S. in 2020 was the highest in two decades, triggered by a surge in assaults largely by white men on Black and Asian Americans, Hispanics and Jews. There were 51 hate-crime murders in America in 2019, the highestat that time since the FBI began tracking the toll in the 1990s. Most victims were Blacks, Hispanics and Jews. “Preventing racial hate crimes means tackling white supremacist ideology,” said a position paper posted last week by the Brookings Institution. Over the past 20 years, the number of hate groups in the U.S. has jumped 100%, it noted. Nadler’s reference to the Buffalo shootings that so incensed Greene was part of his argument to pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act to crack down on the problem. The bill is supported by Democrats, but Republicans are lukewarm. Nadler also referred to the killing of more than 20 people in an El Paso, Texas, store in 2019 and the shooting deaths of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. The killings all involved white shooters inspired by the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which baselessly claims there’s a plot to replace whites with people of color, immigrants and Jews. Greene’s reference to an immigrant “invasion” was an apparent dog whistle to believers in the imagined plot.

you are kidding right? after all the dirty tricks and smear jobs you guys pulled on obama? lol

another day another disgusting post concerning idiot repukes. patriots my ass. i cannot wait for jj's spin on this one.

Marine held captive in Russia condemns 'embarrassing' stunt by Marjorie Taylor Greene Stephen Proctor Tue, May 24, 2022, 2:34 AM On The Lead With Jake Tapper, Monday, a portion of Tapper’s interview with Trevor Reed and his family aired, in which, they voiced displeasure with the actions of Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Reed is the former Marine who returned to the U.S. following a prisoner swap with Russia last month after spending 985 days in a Russian prison on bogus charges. Legislation pushing for Reed’s release was delayed last year due to Greene and other House Republicans. “I’m gonna go to every single one of their campaigns and thank them personally about that,” Reed said. “Thank them for hurting your ability to get out of prison?” Tapper asked. “Yeah,” Reed said, “thank them for voting against a bill that was only about getting American political prisoners out of Russia. How do you justify that?” Reed went on to speculate that Russians were pleased with the actions of Greene and the others. “That’s embarrassing to me that anyone who represents the United States would vote against something like that,” Reed said. “I’m sure that the Russians love that. I’m sure that they’re all big fans of all of those congressmen.” Reed is now advocating for the release of other Americans held in Russia, including Paul Whelan, the Marine veteran who has spent over 40 months in a Russian prison on alleged espionage charges. Reed promised retribution for anyone in Congress who delays the release of other American prisoners as Greene did. “I better not ever see that happen again to any other Americans,” Reed said, “because I promise that I will be at every single campaign that that person runs for the rest of their life to tell everyone that they did that.” The Lead With Jake Tapper airs weekdays at 4 p.m. on CNN.
