There is mass confusion outside the US according to a reporters live feed

the confusion as to why the US continues to have mass shootings at schools, why we can't stop them. Well, my answer is simple, we can stop it but refuse to do so because we have the best government money can buy thanks to the supreme court letting corporations and the rich elite bribe politicians.

As long as Americans are protected and sheltered from the violence, nothing will change.

Eisenhower made the German people walk through the concentration camps for good reason.

Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding campaign finance laws and free speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was argued in 2009 and decided in 2010.
