Yet another “responsible gun owner” performs a random act of politeness.

According to police, Cardoso was allegedly handling the gun in his bedroom when it fired a bullet through the wall into the living room, where it struck his sleeping family member.

The family member was later treated at the hospital and released.

Musical NotesGuns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Jamielle Boule offers the theory for Donald Trump’s fetish about voter fraud

He suggests that said fetish isn’t based on the idea that persons who can’t legally vote are voting. Rather, it’s based on the idea that persons are legally allowed to vote who shouldn’t be legally allowed to vote because votting is not a right; it’s a privilege of which those are unworthy–persons, for example, who couldn’t afford to pay poll taxes or couldn’t pass literacy tests that were rigged against them back in what Trump and the Trumpettes think of as the time when America was great.

Methinks his argument makes sense of the senseless and commend his article to your attention.

Via The Japan Times, Justin Fox debunks the racist bigots’ bunk. A snippet:

This is a persistent theme in current right-wing commentary about immigration — that recent arrivals to the U.S. aren’t working hard, aren’t following the law and generally aren’t fitting in as past generations of immigrants did. It’s also a load of hooey.

Know-Nothings Redux 0

The Know-Nothings are back, and they’re turbo-charged.

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Mark Gongloff offers a theory as to why the Trump maladministration is waging its war on scientific research. Here’s a tiny bit from his article:

. . . ignorance is the point. If objective reality as measured by science is no longer available, then it’s easier for President Donald Trump to conjure up a new reality in a way that thrills and rewards supporters . . . .
