One of the things that conservatives are going to push for after Uvalde is increasing police presence in schools. These cops are called School Resource Officers or SRO's. Here locally they are certainly pushing for that.
Madison County Commission renews three SRO positions for Madison County Schools
This drive for more SROs comes on the heels of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.www.waff.com
But increasing police in schools can lead to more problems than it solves. This past week John Oliver devoted his main segment to SRO's. Out of the many things that concerned me in the piece, one in particular really made me angry. An Osceola Florida county SRO was filmed slamming a girl to the ground knocking her unconscious. Not only did the deputy not face any charges but the Sheriff seemed more concerned that his deputy was even being criticized. That starts around 20:47.
LANGUAGE WARNING
That sheriff with those classy sunglasses really inspire confidence.

It's on the mobile version, which is no different than the tablet version:
Look, Fox News is a garbage publication, but there are plenty of legit things to criticize it about without having to purposely ignore something. Yes, the story isn't higher like it is on CNN, but it's still there. However, I doubt most Fox News readers/watchers are really all that interested in it.

I suspect their online and TV coverage are prioritised somewhat differently.

Just this morning, Rep Jim Banks provided confirmation of the wisdom of his rejection from membership of the Jan 6 committee.
He thinks hearings are meant to present “points of view”, rather than actual, you know, “facts”.
(He could have used the term “Alternative Facts™” of course.)

How does every police response after the fact to what happened at Uvalde sound like an Archer "It's just incompetence!" punchline?

For the Twitter deficient, Patriot Takes tweeted:
In a particularly low move, Matt Gaetz attacked January 6th committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin as being “unable” to do his job due to losing his own child to suicide.
Gaetz: “The country shouldn’t have to go through all that with him.”
AOC responded:
.@RepRaskin is a greater statesman, Congressman, human being than most of us. History will remember him. Tommy was a remarkable person and testament of his parents’ love.
Gaetz is a bad haircut in a cheap suit, a feat of mediocrity given that he’s here on papa’s money. Bye 👋🏽

What is the biggest problem in America today? Polls say it's inflation by a wide margin.

By a wide margin, Americans view inflation as the top problem facing the country today
Seven-in-ten Americans view inflation as a very big problem for the country, followed by the affordability of health care and violent crime.

That would require a well educated population who have at least a passing knowledge of world history.
I fear that the US will shortly find itself added to the lists in this article...

PS if your country is not on the list, don't get complacent.

For some reason today’s Jan 6 Hearings reminded me of this talk done by Tony Schwartz about 10 days ahead of the 2016 election.
Reminder, Tony Schwartz was the guy who ghost-wrote “The Art of the Deal” for Trump. In preparing for the book, he saw a lot of Trump and got to understand his deeply flawed psyche
The whole talk is worth listening to, but let me direct you to the part where he presciently says “Trump will never concede” and he’ll simply go to “anger”
