#nobillnobreak – damn right (more here…and leave it to “Goober” Gohmert, the stupidest man in the universe, to get the issue totally wrong)…
…oh, and speaking of guns, it looks like this is more good news for Donald Trump (snark of course, and aren’t you glad that Stuart Varney didn’t “speculate,” to say nothing of that other rent-a-blonde, both taking up space with a “news” network?)…
…well, it was a hell of a good try anyway, and if this doesn’t move the proverbial needle somewhat in November, I’m not sure anything will (here) - during the ‘60s civil rights protests, Lewis was hit over the head with a crate; compared to that, how can the U.S. House Repugs do anything worse short of trying to kill him?...
…and to see the face of what we’re up against, I give you this knucklehead…he knows damn well what the legislation is that’s being proposed, and while people are slaughtered in this country from gun violence, he actually cares about the so-called U.S. House rule on photography…oh, and he’s the guy who compared Democrats to criminals and terrorists – U-S-A! U-S-A!...
…and it’s time for me to shut this whole thing down for a couple of weeks – going to take a long and much-needed break; I’ll leave you for now with something mellow and a bit upbeat, and I’ll look to restart this whole thing sometime after July 5th.
Courage.

I don’t know if Dem U.S. House Rep John Garamendi has given us the latest video to go “viral” on those Internet tubes, but if he hasn’t, he’s come pretty damn close with this – kudos…
…and I give you more spot-on commentary from Samantha Bee here on the GOP and their all-but-proclaimed presidential candidate, who of course is He Who Shall Not Be Named (and Pat Toomey has that elevator-ducking move of his just about patented, by the way)…
…and even though it now turns out that the so-called ISIS link between Orlando shooter Omar Mateen is specious at best, I still think this is a good story (NSFW); - Kyle Kulinski hit the proverbial bullseye with that last sentence…
…and happy birthday to this guy, Upper Darby, Pa’s own, with a tune from these guys.

Bill Maher compares the most recent foibles of The Donald to prior gaffes from other political campaigns (here – NSFW of course)...
…and speaking of history, 60 years ago today, playwright Arthur Miller defied the House Un-American Activities Committee (here)….
…and I would say that this is food for thought in light of this depressing but utterly predictable development; oh, and by the way, Senator Mr. Elaine Chao is a goddamn liar, in case somehow we don’t know that…
…and here is a special request from yours truly.

It’s beyond belief to me that we have stories like this coming out of the Orlando massacre, but we do.
Let’s see now – you can argue that our failure to enact common sense gun legislation on the federal level could have been a contributing factor to getting Juan Chavez Martinez killed in the first place, then of course we have the typical LBGT discrimination/demonization, and now, on top of that, because we ALSO don’t have common-sense immigration reform, his family can’t even take Martinez’s body back to Mexico for the burial without running the risk of being locked out of this country.
If none of these are reasons to elect Hillary Clinton and a Democratic congress, then reasons to do that don’t exist (“U-S-A! U-S-A!”)…
…and Rachel Maddow tells us about the political after-effects of Dem CT Sen. Chris Murphy’s great filibuster on gun votes earlier this week (and Lord, does “Straight Talk” McCain need to be voted out of office)…
…and it looks like that pesky Josh Fox is back to remind us about what we should have done long ago by now for the sake of the planet (tied to his new documentary also)…
…and the insanity hasn’t let up lately, unfortunately; what follows is a tribute to anti-Brexit British MP Jo Cox, who was brutally murdered by someone who was, by all accounts, some kind of UK nationalist nut job (oh, right – “allegedly”…don’t want to say anything prejudicial…and wouldn’t you know that there’s a reported link to right-wing extremism in this country, as noted here?)…
...and I had this song in mind as a tribute...
...and I was a bit delinquent in not featuring a Father's Day tune yesterday - I think this will do.
