2023: 63 people were injured or killed in 38 school shootings. 2024: As of September 4, 2024, 49 people have been injured or killed in 23 school shootings. Although these numbers are horrible, they are miniscle numbers compared to the crime and drugs created by our unsecured border.

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
