A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.

Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

    Then a corrupt, authoritarian buffoon won the election and appointed countless establishment scumbags to his administration. Wow, what a victory against the establishment!

    That's almost what I've been saying since before the election. After the field was narrowed down, our choise was the evil witch, or the court fool.

    I voted for Johnson - but I still say that the court fool is a better choice than the evil witch. The witch would have already committed troops to Syria - a couple divisions at least - and she WOULD HAVE provoked the Russians at every opportunity.

      Have you noticed you don't hear much about Iran anymore? HRC would have invaded by now.
