Cassi Creek: Today is
Inauguration Day as well as Martin Luther King’s Day. That makes it a double federal holiday. However, most people who work for
non-government businesses are at work today.
Service industry workers, health care professionals and ancillary staff
are busy, understaffed and overworked, as usually the case for any
holiday.
I celebrated
by renewing my drivers’ license for another six years. There was no reason to go into the office for
renewal. I spent about 10 minutes and
$20.00 online using the state’s program and my debit card. I should have the new license within 3
weeks.
I’ll be happy
when the Congress returns to work. They
should all be chained to their desks and fed bread and water until they become
productive and cooperative. They were
elected to work for the nation and its citizens, not to crank out tax breaks
for corporations and the very wealthy.
The new “National
Gun Appreciation Day” another shill organization for the firearms industry and
the easily confused, took place on Saturday.
There were at least 5 gun related injuries occurring at 3 different gun
shows that happened Saturday. They all
belong in the TDTF file.
Five shot at 'Gun
Appreciation Day' events

This probably is a lower than normal incidence of
gun-related injuries compared to most weekends.
No one organizing the “Gun Appreciation” event seems overly concerned
that a neo-nazi group is involved in the event.
While the NRA and the 2nd Amendment groupies always like to
point toward Hitler when crying about tyrants seizing private guns; it is
somehow OK to share the demand that all sorts of guns are available to everyone
who can pay the price with neo-nazis. Strange
bedfellows! Of course, when the rank and file is unable to differentiate
between fascists, socialists, and toy soldier militias, the important thing
becomes allying with anyone who will share the misinformation and chant the
slogans.
