Parkland Shooter. What should have happened

This homicidal manic should have been confined to a mental hospital years ago.  But we didn't.  We don't have mental hospitals anymore.  Up here in NH, mental cases often spend days confined in hospital emergency rooms, hand cuffed to the bed, 'cause there is nowhere else to put them. 
   Everyone admits that this shooter showed plenty of signs that were ignored and not acted upon.  Resulting in 17 innocents dying.  
   The problem is homicidal maniacs allowed to run around loose.  If they cannot buy a gun, they will find other ways to do evil.
    We need a fair system to identify and confine these madmen before they do awful things.

This ain't Chicken Feed

Alexander Soros, son of George Soros, donated $650 million to the Democrats.  Wow! That is a lot of money.  According to the Free Beacon.

Congress critters blow it again

70% or more of the country wants to do something good for the DACA people.  Our Congress critters, Senate breed, were unable to pass anything today.  The Republicans lacked the votes to pass their bill, the democrats lacked the votes to pass theirs.  Neither side had the brains or the guts to find a compromise that both sides could vote for.  And so, the DACA people may all get deported beginning next month. 
Way to go Congress critters. 

Pentagon estimates $10-30 million parade cost

Chicken feed.  Wall St Journal carried this.  A single new jet fighter costs $80-100 million.  $10-30 million is nothing.  Remember Everett Dirksen's comment,  "A billion here and a billion there and pretty soon you are talking real money."

Anyone got examples of Russian meddling in the 2016 election?

I read a lotta talk about Russian meddling vie social media.  But I haven't seen any examples.  How about a website or two? or some posts on Facebook etc.  If it happened, let's see some of it. 

It's Horrible

And my deepest sympathies for the victims of the Florida school shooting yesterday.  And that's all I am going to say, the TV news has been saying everything under the sun since it happened yesterday. So I don't need to add my two cents worth.
