Welcome to The Now

Gun violence is mostly committed by those with mental illness. ( Actually, about 5% of those who commit gun violence have a "diagnosable mental illness." ) If more African-Americans bought guns, it would scare lawmakers into passing sensible gun regulation. In truth, thanks to the NRA  cash trumps inherent racism .  Video games are making our children violent. On the contrary, groups like the NRA are using first-person shooter video games to indoctrinate a new generation of potential gun enthusiasts .  When you look at the gun industry as a microcosm of America's military-industrial complex (aka, "war is good for business") the reason why things are the way they are makes more sense. 

For some reason, our military is slow to reac t and losses track of the money they spend . So why are we giving them so much cash?  The "Shock Doctrine" has come to Puerto Rico .  The impact of the upcoming Black Panther movie.  President Trump's lawyer says that he paid off Stormy Daniels .

In short, anyone whose politics are two the left of the current Democratic leadership (or who just doesn't like President Trump) should just ignore th...
