Over *4 times* as many children & teens have died from Gun Violence in America since 1963, than the total number of US Soldiers killed in action during Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, & Iraq wars COMBINED.

You are comparing 65,000 deaths, mostly inner city gang killings, to 62,000,000 innocent children murdered in abortion clinics.

And that does not include more than 62 million babies that have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe vs. Wade. Roe vs Wade was not enacted until January 22, 1973. 62 million, is more than21 times the lives lost by US Soldiers in all of the United States Wars combined.

Guns aren't the problem it's the evil behind the gun... inflation should not even be in the same paragraph. It is disgusting. No baby formula, gas prices are draining us, everything is expensive...

Inflation and failed economies will always increase criminal activities, including gun violence.

You can't regulate free will. People make choices for good or evil. Inflation is something that the government can affect. Fuel prices affect every aspect of our economy. We need to be energy independent to do that. We need to open the pipeline and get busy drilling.

Everyone is affected by inflation. Every business is affected by inflation. Inflation directly affects me more than gun violence.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
