Why Are Guns So Far Being Held Blameless in Parkland Teen Suicides?
Guns continue to get off the hook in the deaths of two teens who attended Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
Even though drug overdose is the method used in 70 percent of potential suicides, it’s only responsible for about 12 percent of the deaths. Guns are far, far more effective. Of the comparatively smaller 6 percent of people who attempt suicide by using a gun, they find “success” about 82 percent of the time. That makes guns responsible for more than half of our country’s suicides.
The role of guns, and access to them, has so far been ignored in the stories about the two teens at Stoneman Douglas. I have yet to find one that asks, let alone answers, the question of where the guns used by the teens came from. But states with the most guns have the most youth suicides.

Eric Trump: Democrats Who Support Investigations of His Father Are ‘Not Even People’
“I’ve never seen hatred like this, and to me they’re not even people. It’s so, so sad, I mean morality is just gone, morals have flown out the window we deserve so much better than this as a country. You know it’s so sad. You see the democratic party — they’re imploding. They’re imploding. They have no message.”
— Eric Trump, saying Democrats who support the probe into his father’s campaign and Russia are “not even people,” CNN reports.

Pelosi: It’s Not Worth Impeaching Trump
“I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”
— Speaker Nancy Pelosi, telling the Washington Post she’s not focused on impeaching President Trump.
Dr. Democrat Discusses the Candidates
Dear Dr. Democrat:
How you are feeling about the 2020 Democratic contenders and who are your early favorites?
I’m impressed big time by Pete Buttigieg, but wish he had a different last name. Also like Kamala Harris and John Hickenlooper (again with the last name! Sheesh!).
Not a fan of Bernie or Biden, but will hold nose and vote Warren, if the need arises.
I’m looking forward to Beto entering the race. He has the GOP running scared.
On the Republican side, I like Bill Weld over the other guy.
Best regards,
Not in the Prediction Biz in Bismarck

Introducing Wang, Chen and Zhang,
Helping everyone achieve happy ending.
