Mike Luckovich for March 16, 2023

If children are strong enough to learn how to survive “active shooter drills” to protect them from real dangers that have taken the lives of far too many real children, they are strong enough to learn that sometimes boys love boys, sometimes girls love girls, and some children have two Daddies or two Mommies.

No child has ever been harmed by story time read by someone in drag; too many children have had their lives ended by unrestricted access to weapons of war, yet conservatives want to totally outlaw all entertainment by men wearing dresses. In contrast progressives seek no corresponding total ban on deadly guns. We have made no effort to restrict access to firearms appropriate to defense or sport by anyone who is not a terrorist, convicted violent felon, violent domestic abuser or mentally unstable. We only want reasonable safeguards and appropriate oversight properly enforced with loopholes and exceptions closed.

A culture of rampant gun worship and easy access by anyone to weapons better suited for battlefields harms children and ends lives.

On the TV show “To Catch a Predator,” they exposed husbands, fathers, clergy, professional people and community leaders, but never a Drag Queen.

Love, in whatever form expressed, heals and nurtures and makes lives better.

Actually, the party of the hephalump won’t do that at all well either. They just want the talking points.

Case in point toddler shooting sister yesterday.

Too many weapons, no control.

I heard a guy say, he’s lived in NYC all his life, and never been attacked by a drag queen.

I hope they die on that hill they stand on

Oe whatever the adage was

The GOP doesn’t care about lives, adult or children. Every death is an acceptable sacrifice to their gun-god. If those deaths can be non-white, non-cis, non-Christian, then, for the GOP, that’s a win-win.

If drag queens formed a lobby and raised millions they could buy some politicians too! (Do I really need to add/s?)

WWJC (what would Jesus carry?)

The large amount of pediatric skulls are underneath the guns. Sick and wrong. Background checks on ammo, please.

Banking system is dire straights and this is the topic of the day?

Teaching sexual orientation starting with kindergarten is not popular with a great many parents (I think majority). I never challenged my orientation, but it seems to me it is a process that should develop over time until the person is mature enough to be sure.

Last I heard the 2023 mass shooting count was 110. Thank GOP.

Well said!

Morning Mike, how do you know so much about the repubs and how they think, Ha ha ha ha!

David Frum summed it up: “Message: Tough on drag queens. Weak on national security.” (He was referring to desantis but I think it applies to the republicon party as a whole)

Remember me warning you many years ago about a real nut case named trump, well few listened and only few will listen now, but this no brainer is much worse! desantis nicknsmed early by many as Desatin! And rightfully so. Hear the latest, he wants to pass currently pending Florida legislation to allow every adult in the state of Florida to open carry a gun. Nuts, Nuts, Nuts!

This gets worse! He is going to run for president of the USA IN 2024, theirs talk about world war 3 forget the talk, Plan on it!!!

America. Land of gun care and health control.

70 million, you still okay with the situation that you created because you, for some reason, want this environment, or are you ready to make some meaningful changes?:

There have been other governments that wanted to control lives.. history does not remember them kindly.

More children have been assaulted, raped, and abused by Catholic Priests, Preachers, and Republican Politicians then by Drag Queens.

Gender grooming teachers!

Republicans certainly are obsessed about protecting themselves from LGBTQ, and especially the Transgender community.

When I was younger, there was a big objection to women wearing pants. Pants were considered masculine. Only men were supposed to wear pants in public. Women and girls always wore dresses when away from home. I could wear pants while playing, but many times they were under a dress when I went to school, so I could play on the monkey bars without the boys looking up my dress. There was a big todo over the pants issue. Now I wear pants most of the time, even to church. Haha!

I’d prefer they didn’t. Our society thinks a naked blade or gun is better and less harmful than a naked body.

The self-professed “Alliance Defending Freedom” went venue shopping to find a sympathetic judge to hear their lawsuit seeking to deny women the use of mifepristone, which prompts the question of just whose freedom it is they think they’re defending.

Let’s talk about gender. I grew up on a farm, a steer was a bull until he was castrated and became a steer, still a male. A stallion untill he was castrated he became a gelding, still a male. A calf was a heifer until she had a calf she became a cow, still a female, a horse had a foal, a female was a filly, ad infinitum. WHY are people different? You are born with one sex. If your mental acutaity is deformed and you can’t identify with you natural sex, why do you have to project it upon the rest of us? A child does not have the mental maturity to determine their identity, BUT given outside influences, be it from their WOKE parents or other outside influences, they will conform. I submit that outside influences guide these fragile you minds to determine the outcome.

I’ll hafta agree: when was the last time you saw a mass shooter dressed in drag? Well? I’m waiting…..

If you go down in a mass shooting you’ll get to heaven before Democrats can make you evil. /s
