Congressman caught bringing loaded gun through airport security (msn.com)

Madison Cawthorn, a Republican congressman from North Carolina, was caught trying to go through security with a loaded gun at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Tuesday morning, according to multiple sources.

This was the second time the controversial congressman has been stopped trying to bring a weapon through airport security.

TSA officers spotted the gun at the checkpoint and called airport police.

This really is quite the toxic pill Disney has there for Florida. I mean DeSantis, that troglodyte, deserves every cent of it and then some. I would never have thought that I would once find something Disney pulls out of its sleeve a good thing, but yes, this is a good thing!

By the way the strangest thing about this Disney district is that the company has the right to build its own nuclear power plant if they wanted to.

Walt Disney was quite fond of futuristic stuff, and therefore of course loved nuclear power. Many see it that he wanted to keep different options open to himself.

This article really resonated for me.

Shameless politicians reflect a shameless society

Our politicians are a reflection, a mirror held up to American society. What we see should terrify us.

Politicians today know that there is typically very little cost to bad behavior. In fact, behaving badly actually gives them a boost.

Gone are the days when it was considered an embarrassment if you were caught lying in politics. Now it’s the order of the day. In the past, if you said things that were demonstrably false, your reputation took a big hit, no matter your political party. No more.

The actions that even a decade ago would have spelled the end of a political career now don’t even warrant footnotes. In fact, the more controversy politicians gin up, the faster contributions roll into their reelection funds.

and

The system we have now rewards the lunatic fringe, instead of punishing it. The loudest mouths dominate the national agenda and news feeds — even if they have the least political clout

I agree with the conclusion too:

This cycle of inflated prestige and notoriety for largely ineffective backbenchers will continue to spiral downward until we start simply ignoring them. Until the mainstream media focus more on things that actually matter than on cynical opportunists in search of self-promotion and self-interest. Until then, we will get more of the same.

Wiping out tax paid public education for children? Ok Texas, how far is too far?

Why don't you just chain children to the factory floor at 6 or 7 years old and work them 14 hours a day like we did 100 years ago?

Or you know, dismantle, then re-assemble as segregated schools.

That is what they want, as long as it isn't their children!

I have seriously reached the point where I almost don't care if there are any decent human beings left. I want them off my planet, the only home I have.
