Kudos to the kids marching for our lives

I don't have a lot to say about the anti-gun violence marches from this past weekend just yet. Seeing and hearing those kids bravely stand up to politicians and lobbyists; the unbridled pain, emotion, and conviction in their voices; it left me speechless on Saturday and I remain speechless on Monday. Adults in this country, especially those in Congress, could learn a thing or two from our kids. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, they do so, fight for the safety of our children over the money of the gun lobby, and if not, pay the price at the election booths in November of this year and beyond.

Here are a few of the best signs from the protest:

- "My Right To Live > A Gun"

- "If You Need A Machine Gun To Hunt, You Suck At It."

- "I Miss Earthquake Drills"

- "The Scariest Thing In A School Should Be My Grades"

- "Pack Lunches Not Heat!!!"

- "I'm a 1st grade teacher. Trump's solution to school violence is so stupid that if he were a first grader, I would send him back to kindergarten."

- "Arm Teachers With Resources Not Guns"

- "Kids > Guns"

- "The Number Of Bullet Holes In This Poster Are The Number That Can Be Shot In The Time It Takes To Read It"

- "The Only Thing Easier To Buy In The U.S. Than A Gun Is The President"

- "I Should Be Worried About My GPA, Not Getting Shot"

- "If Only My Uterus Could Shoot Bullets Then It Wouldn't Need Regulation"

Keep up the fight, kids! You're an inspiration to us all! We're standing right with you!

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
