I do not condone gun violence. I condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. My condolences go out to his family.

Nevertheless, let’s not forget that Kirk was a right-wing provocateur who built his fame and fortune on abomination, disinformation, polarization, and radicalization. Kirk knew damn well what he got into when he boasted, “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

America has a dead-serious gun problem and Kirk’s violent rhetoric only makes it worse. He normalized gun violence. He was a great political performer. He rose to the occasion and seized the moment. He was unstoppable until a bullet caught up to him.

Again, Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be shot and killed, but let’s not forget there was another school shooting on the same day at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado. Kirk’s death is heinous, but the lives of so many innocent children we lost to mass shootings are also tragic.

At this point, we still don’t know the motive behind Kirk’s assassination, but what we do know is that gun violence is neither a left nor a right problem. Gun violence is an American problem.

Took three minutes voted for James Walkinshaw. He’s a Democrat. I can’t vote for any Republicans because they only work for one man instead of this country. So fuck them.

Stephanie Saul, writing for the New York Times:

The Trump administration has made attacking universities central to its agenda. Higher education leaders argue that their institutions are the pillars of fact-based scientific inquiry and freedom of expression. President Trump and his supporters have argued they are elitist and focused on indoctrinating new generations into liberal ideologies.

But George Mason stands in stark contrast to the exclusive institutions Mr. Trump has targeted. It offers admission to 90 percent of its applicants. Many are middle-class students from Northern Virginia.

It is also among the most diverse campuses in the country.

I wish I can tell Dr. Washington in person to stand strong and not to back down. We have his back.

I am no longer interested in politics unless it affects my livelihood. The Trump administration is attacking my institution and my president. After trying to investigate our president without success, the Trump officials now demand an apology from our president over diversity. I am glad our school and our president are standing up to them to keep our independence. Please don’t budge. We are the last institution to fight against their bullies. Fuck them!

I haven’t blogged about politics in a while, which is a good thing. I just can’t follow the news anymore. It is too depression and not good for my mental health at all.

In recent weeks, I have come to the point where I just leave politics out of my social life. I have been hanging out with people who support Trump. As long as we don’t get into politics, we are fine. I don’t want to get into it either. If they are cool with me then I am cool with them.

I also avoid putting my head on the chopping block between the Vietnamese Americans and Vietnamese communists. I have heard enough from both sides. I don’t want to be part of the controversy.

I have too many things to worry about.

In a stunning move, George Mason University’s Board not only sided with President Gregory Washington, but also gave him a 1.5% raise to $823,000 a year. I am glad to see George Mason fights back while other universities folds to the Trump regime. As higher institutions, we need to stand up. We can’t let the government involves into our education. We need to stay independence. We need to give them the middle fucking fingers. Raise them up.

George Mason University is under attack. If you have any affiliation with Mason, support our president and protect our university. Stand with us.

After a brief interaction with the press, Demented Donald walked straight toward the wall. If Mike Johnson didn’t stop him, he could have hit the wall. Let us not get distracted with Biden’s cognitive abilities. Biden is no longer in charge, but Trump is and his dementia is worrisome.

Demented Donald pointed to the portrait of the fifth president of the United States and stuttered, “That’s Monroe from the … uh … Monroe docu… document.” His dementia has kicked in. He should be checked for his mental capacity to be a president.

Apparently, Demented Donald thinks that Joe Biden has stage-9 cancer. Demented Donald is a laughing gaffe, but not a laughing matter. He is suffering dementia and it is escalating. It won’t be too long.
