My only comment about the WHCD incident is that I'm not surprised, I'm not concerned and I really don't care [View all]

No one was killed, not even the alleged suspect, and no guests or journalists were injured.

Since the start of 2026 there have been over 120 mass shootings in our country. Over 3,800 people have died and over 6,500 people have been injured. It's been just a little over three months since this administration shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Not a single person in this administration and very few of the guests who attended this event have ever shown any sincere concern or care about the epedimic of gun violence in this country.

Again, no one at this event was killed or injured. It's difficult for me to have concern when the attitude of those involved is gun violence for thee but not for me.
