| Mass shooting in a synagogue in Pennsylvania. |
So once again, America is dealing with the umpteenth mass shooting.
Whites Don't Shoot Whites!
All Jews Must Die!
This is America folks.
Police say a terrorist opened fire at a Pittsburgh synagogue. He yelled the phrase, "All Jews must die" before he opened fire on the Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
The terrorist was described as a white male, heavy set, with a beard. He was apprehended by the law after he decided to take his rage on the responding officers.
There were eight people killed by the terrorist. Three police officers were also shot, their conditions are not currently known.
When officers arrived, the terrorist reportedly shot at them, forcing officers to use their vehicles as a shield.
The shooting happened during weekly Shabbat services at the conservative Jewish synagogue, the building was full of people attending service.
The Tree of Life synagogue, also known as the L'Simcha synagogue, is located in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, near Carnegie Mellon University and east of Downtown Pittsburgh.
The Squirrel Hill neighborhood is one of the largest predominantly Jewish neighborhoods in the United States and has historically been the center of Pittsburgh's Jewish community, with 26 percent of the city's Jewish population living in the area.
The Tree of Life congregation is affiliated with the Conservative Judaism movement and was founded in 1864. The modern synagogue building at the intersection of Wilkins Avenue and Shady Avenue in Squirrel Hill was built in 1946 and is shared with Dor Hadash, a Reconstructionist congregation, and New Light, a Conservative congregation.
The synagogue's main sanctuary has a capacity of 1,250 people.

| This is the latest mass shooting in the United States. |
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Tom Wolf, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) will do the usual song and dance.
They will offer their phony sympathy. They will offer their "thoughts and prayers" along with their "hearts going out to..." in every statement, press release and social media post.
The state of Pennsylvania allowed mass shooters into our synagogues, churches, mosques, schools and libraries. The only way for us to prevent gun violence is "thoughts and prayers" and "my heart going out to" cliches.
By the way, the stupid tagline, "If they had an armed guard...." and "if they they have protection inside."
I am tired of "thoughts and prayers." They won't heal the wounded. They won't bring back the dead.
I am tired of politicians telling us that "now isn't the time to talk about gun violence."
Are you going to vote?
VOTE EARLY.
VOTE ABSENTEE BALLOT.
VOTE NOVEMBER 6, 2018.
Restore sanity to the country. Under Trump, people of color are suffering.
The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
Instead of talking about the economy, the demise of Sears/Kmart, gun violence, the continuous Brett Kavanaugh hearing or the failure to fix immigration. They rather get you upset over comments made by entertainers and opinion agitators. The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.
The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats?
They control almost everything.
They are hoping that we forgot that all three branches of government are controlled by Republicans. You can't blame the Democrats when you control the keys to the car. You can't blame the Democrats when you're in charge of an agenda.
They want to ignore the fact that they've failed to govern during the budget resolutions. They were responsible for passing legislation that hurts the middle class, farmers and small business owners.
The Republicans forgot that they were the ones who shut down the government. The Republicans had a majority of House and Senate lawmakers. How come it's the Democrats fault when a handful of "Freedom Caucus" members stalled legislation to fund the government?
They were the ones who supported the removal of children from immigrants crossing the border. Yeah, explain that to people who vote Republican and speak in languages other than English. Using our military to protect the border is really stupid. The military will not shoot and kill innocent human beings. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Border Patrol will do the work for them. Besides, building a damn wall will cost billions. People who are crossing the border often come from the airplanes. And building a wall will result in drug cartels building tunnels that go below the ground in the United States and at least five miles into the Mexico.
The Republicans are the ones who oversee the demise of Sears/Kmart and retail in general. Toys R Us, Bon Ton, Mattress Firm, HH Greg and other retail companies have fallen. The CEOS and shareholders pocket millions while those who worked get a few paychecks to pay their bills and feed their families. Tell a constituent that that Republican tax break gave your company's CEO a super yacht.
Yeah, showing up on television screaming Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer isn't going to work. They don't represent your constituents. You can't scare monger your constituents with fears of Pelosi hiding under the bed. Stop talking about Pelosi and worry about your district or state.
They forgot that under Republican control, the FCC repealed net neutrality repeal. Social media will not relinquish the fact that Republican allowed it to happen.
Republican lawmakers continuous decision to repeal the Affordable Care Act will only result in failure. No one supports private hospitals charging thousands of dollars to treat someone with pre-existing conditions. You going to tell a constituent that the company they work for will no longer provide insurance.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
Remember.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
