Every eleven minutes someone in the US is killed with the use of a firearm and 121 mass shootings have been perpetrated in 2026 so far. America leads the world in mass shootings: Schools, churches, street fairs, shopping malls, bars, gymnasiums, or movie theaters.

Simply put, the US is one large Gaza Strip.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I had never heard or read that Mount Rushmore was actually a tribute to white ethnic cleansing of the indigenous tribes until someone on drudge.com alerted me to that a few months ago. That may have been Snoofy.

I was stunned to learn this because A. Lincoln -- our first "Buddhist" POTUS so to speak -- took pride in the fact that the militia company he was elected to command during the Black Hawk Wars (Illinois, 21 April 1832 to 10 July 1832) went around in circles and never killed any indigenous people.
