Have there been enough tears in the entertainment industry over guns in the work place?

To begin, guns are deadly and belong nowhere near human life. I don't care what kind of industry it is, there is no room for guns. There are digital enhancements that can be used without the requirements of actual guns on the set of any movie. GET IT DONE! If Star Wars and Star Trek didn't need guns then no one does.

Additionally, SOCIALIZING brings down the brevity of guns anywhere. We are all used to seeing guns hanging on the hips of movie stars as they strut into a bar scene that ultimately ends in a death of someone, usually the bad guy with a gun. But, the idea socializing is normalized with guns that are within "killing distance" is completely incorrect. 

Anyone ever attend a gun meet? A competition for shooting enthusiasts. There is no major noise at the ones I attended and everyone is aware they are in a dangerous but controlled environment. Do yourself a favor and attend one gun competition and observe the atmosphere and the SAFETY involved at these events. The competition makes it serious, but, the underlying understanding that a misfire or a wrongful handling could end up with a wound or worse is always apparent. The ones I attended didn't have children playing in the background either. The socializing that obviously exists among these competitors takes place at a restrauant afterwards and not at the tailgate of any truck, SUV or car. 

Guns and socializing is not a good thing, it is negligence.

The shot that killed a cinematographer (click here) on a New Mexico film set last week was fired as actor Alec Baldwin was practicing drawing his gun, according to the director who was injured in the shooting, an affidavit for a search warrant shows.

Joel Souza, director of the film "Rust," was shot in the shoulder and director of photography Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed when the prop gun went off during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe on Thursday....

Would the USA exist without Bob Woodward and his influence and examples?

It is obvious that Steve Bannon was the driving force behind the overturn of the USA Constitution. Interestingly and rarely said, is the fact Trump was Bannon's puppet.

I think the USA media needs to police it's members. Facebook is part of that. The players of the One America media and all the right wing extremist sites need to be held responsible for carrying Bannon's messages to the world as well as the American people. Is Bannon's aspirations any different than that of China in controlling the content of the media on a daily basis? Is China and Russia, Bannon's models for media? I think so. 

Bannon is a power player. He has been since his entrance into media services. He needs puppets. I can honestly say he has assaulted the US Constitution and the social freedoms of this country to remove "the norms." There is absolutely nothing wrong with "the norms" of the USA. It is a great society as well as a great country. Family focused, freedom of expression in enthusiasm of rights including that of children. Children and the natural world are eliminated in Bannon's rhetoric and power struggles.

The USA and The West are the few societies that value and elevate children as important to a stable and prosperous future. The idea of diversity will die with Bannon and his aspirations. He has to be recognized as a danger to democracy and made part of the record of this country.

 

US Rep. Elizabeth Cheney is the ONLY voice the Republican Party should embrace.

There are vast numbers of people behind her. The media does not reflect that. She is so powerful in her analysis that the extremists fear her and are working overtime to defame her and bring her power to an end. Her voice is vital to our Constitution and she is the ONLY voice that should be speaking for the Republican Party.

An unprecedented amount of out-of-state money (click here) is pouring into Rep. Liz Cheney’s reelection effort, as she campaigns in one of the nation’s highest-profile congressional races.

The third quarter was the second-biggest fundraising period ever for Cheney, who is facing a tough reelection fight after her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. She raised just over $1.7 million during that period, which runs from July to September.

These hefty donations came on the heels of Cheney’s all-time fundraising record, $1.9 million, which occurred one cycle earlier....
