The first weekend of June saw London celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne.

Raphael Nadal's 14th win at the French Open and signals from the Vatican that an aging Pope may soon retire. In the United States,

well, unfortunately, it was more of the same. We had another weekend punctuated by the sound of gunfire

and a flurry of mass shootings. Mass shootings in Philadelphia that left 14 shot, three dead. In Chattanooga,

where 14 shot, three killed. In Phoenix, where a 14-year-old girl was gunned down and eight

others shot at a strip mall. In South Carolina, where bullets tore through a graduation party,

leaving one dead, seven injured, six of those

children and even more mass shootings in Texas, in Georgia, in New York, and in Michigan.

Add those numbers up with all the other mass shootings over the first five months of 2022,

and you get 240 mass shootings.

Let me say that again.

240 mass shootings already this year in a year that's not even half over.

What will Republican governors, legislators, and members of Congress do to stop the continued killing of our children in schools

our teenagers at malls our mothers at graduation parties our families in church our grandmothers

in supermarkets our friends at country music festivals well it looks like nothing nothing to speak of And I just want to know this so-called party of

life, which is anything but when will they ever respect the life of those who are actually

drawing a breath? I don't know. It looks like never, but I will tell you what I do know.

I know they think that you are stupid.

They think that you are distracted.

They're going to mumble about mental health.

They're going to cut funding for mental health.

They're going to talk about school safety.
