Three Stories
Three stories caught my eye this past week:
1). John McCain’s send-off was perfect. Not “a little over the top” as Trump said. McCain spent 5.5 years as a POW. That’s good in my book.
The part of the service that caught my attention (besides the exceptional send-off by Biden) was Roberta McCain saying goodbye to her 82-year-old son.
She’s 106!
Looks good too!!
God Bless Her.
2). The story of the kid who shot up the Madden Tournament in Jacksonville was one I might have skipped.
How many shooting stories can you read?
Yet, there was news that cops had been called to his home on 26 separate times. He’d been labeled as a kid who was seriously mentally disturbed. His parents were at their wits end.
And he passed the background checks!!!
Bought his murder weapon a month ago!!!
That has to change!
3). The third story that upset me was about the 9-year-old boy who committed suicide because he was being bullied for being gay.
9-years old?
Gay???
At 9, I was trying to figure out whether to run to first or third in my little league game if my bat actually made contact with the ball.
I had zero idea what gay meant.
I didn’t know why girls had longer hair...
...kid didn’t even reach adolescence.
Regardless, the kid felt bullied enough to kill himself.
That’s horrendous.
“Life is a shit sandwich,” my father used to say.
Gotta’ stop reading the news.
“Just eat the bread.”
