Families, church members cling to each other in wake of Grand Blanc shooting Survivors of a mass shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reunified with loved ones as the community came together.

May I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Grand Blanc victims and their loved ones, the church, and the community, and may they find strength and solace in this difficult time. #Michigan #shooting

Police report multiple victims after shooting at church in Grand Blanc Grand Blanc Township police confirm that there was a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sunday morning.

πŸ’­πŸ™ Thoughts and prayers aren't enough after another needless shooting. It's time for Congress to act, Representative Lisa McClain. Grow a spine, recognize this shouldn't be normalized, and take action to prevent more mass shootings.

Lisa McClain posting on X about Constitution Day, which happens to be my birthday as well. The irony of her posting about this while ignoring her constituents back home here in MI-09 is speaks volumes about her morals as a congresswoman.

The "Who Would Win?" meme. The images are of Lisa McClain with the text "Rich out of touch politician", and of myself, Ray Pooley, Progressive Democrat candidate for Michigan's 9th Congressional District, with the text "One chicken daddy country boi". The choice seems obvious.

My post on X about the shootings of Charlie Kirk and those at Evergreen High School in Colorado. It reads as follows:

πŸ’­πŸ™ Thoughts and prayers are a moral failure when followed by legislative cowardice

What happened today with the Evergreen school in Colorado and Charlie Kirk was tragic.

This isn't normal!

The role of our president and congress isn't to offer condolences, it's to pass laws to prevent these tragedies from continuing. The ONLY reason we continue having these shootings is because we are allowing it to happenβ€”

Because we have a bunch of representatives who continue doing nothing to address it. Thoughts and prayers for the Minneapolis Catholic School, for Uvalde, for Oxford...

How about some damn action? You have a 1st Amendment right and should be able to use it without becoming a target. Our kids deserve better than empty thoughts and prayers that don't solve anything. Our politicians have offered us nothing as things get worse.

This isn't complicated, it's a choice. As a gun owner, I know we can respect the 2nd Amendment and have:

βœ… Red flag laws
βœ… Universal background checks
βœ… Real investment in mental health

The time for excuses is over. The time for action is now!

Two tragedies back to back really speaks volumes for how much congress has failed us over the years. I wish Charlie Kirks family and the victims and families of those in at the Evergreen High School my dearest condolencesβ€”but just as important, I also offer action for prevention.

A screenshot from X involving Vice President JD Vance advocating for war crimes against another countries civilians, Brian Krassenstein calling him out for what it is, and Vance doubling down on his moral and political failure. It reads as follows.

Vance: Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.

Krassenstein: Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.

Vance: I don’t give a shit what you call it

A war crime is a war crime. It meets the definition of a war crime.

This couch fuckers ok with war crimes apparently. Party of "law and order" and "pro life" my πŸ‘

An image of my X account response to a post about how manufacturing jobs are going down under President Trump. It reads:

Hi πŸ‘‹ I'm manufacturer βš™οΈ and I can explain in simple terms.

Boss gets call from customer for 10 parts. Says he'll call back with quote. Boss calls metal plate company. 10 parts worth of material USED to cost 20k, but now costs 25k because tariffsβ€”and no, we in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ don't have the infrastructure to just ramp up our own production so we HAVE to import a good portion of it (roughly 25% of steel and almost 100% of rare earths as examples), meaning we pay more to our government to bring in materials for our jobs (kindof like a tax, a Trump tariff tax).

Boss HAS to quote higher now, and customer sits on it because they have to come up with more money before we can start anything. Less work flow = less work = less people needed = layoffs because we artificially said we MUST pay more for the same things. It doesn't make jobs it just hurts us for no reason.
