Bernie Sanders is wrong about gun background checks

I voted for Bernie Sanders but think it’s important to point out that he is wrong about the percentage of guns sold without background checks.  Sanders claimed it’s 40% while the actual number is more like 22%.  The actual figure is high enough; there is no need to say it’s 40%.  It should be zero.

Democrats and defense spending

This column makes the point that Democrats have just gone along with Republican defense spending.

“On domestic policy—immigration, criminal justice, health care—the party is moving left. On foreign and defense policy, the party barely exists.”

This tweet makes an excellent point

Why didn’t the @NRA stand up for licensed gun owner Philando Castile? If you’re here for gun owners then why wasn’t his murder an outrage to the NRA? Are they representing gun owners or white gun owners? Or gun manufacturers who want gun buyers to be scared of people like him?

The Trump campaign exploits the Parkland mass shooting

The NRA said that Democrats are exploiting the Parkland mass shooting.

I don’t agree but it’s clear the Trump campaign is by using it in a fundraising email.  Here’s a reaction from one of the students.  Sad!

African-American unemployment under Trump continues the trend from the Obama years

Trump takes credit for reduced African-American unemployment but the rate is just continuing the trend from the Obama administration.  See the chart here.  Of course, Trump doesn’t address the problem that it is still much higher than the white unemployment rate.  Sad!

Pardons?

Some conservatives are now pushing for pardons in the Russia investigation.  We’ll never get to the bottom of this if Flynn and others are pardoned.  Maybe that’s the idea.  Sad!
