Observations from Middletown’s Peach Fest

The peach blight of 1911 wiped out all the peach orchards around Middletown. No matter...traditions must be upheld. One tradition is a large turnout by political folks. I got there late, so missed most of the regulars. 9th RD Rep Kevin Hensley was there, and no wonder has this shit locked down. He gives out hand towels dunked in ice cold water. Genius! He is a terrible person though. A real low life. I mean, I don't know him, but he must be judging by the horrible low life's he shares a tent with. [Wall to wall Trump signs] Bethany Hall Long is here. She's running for Governor (Yes, even now. She has already started. No not a primary...but a really, really long campaign). I have given BHL some shit here, but she is a great retail politician. Also, credit where credit is due - her campaign tag line is the most honest I've seen. What else...Wow it was hot. I think I'll pass on going to this until President Pence gets Jesus to fix climate change.

Most have us seen the recent Fox News Poll in which all top Democrats beat Trump heads up. (His support has hit a hard cap at 39%, and he hasn't added a single voter since the last elections.) But there is a heap of stuff in the poll and most of it points to the fact that Americans aren't the clueless dummies that the media makes them out to be.

Tearing the country apart: 59%

In a few words, please tell me why you think mass shootings happen more often in the United States than other countries.
