Drones for active shooters in schools… well I’m in favor of anything that improves response time and saves lives BUT it does not solve the problem. People are still likely to get hurt and children traumatized. When a plane crashes, we don’t give passengers parachutes we figure out what went wrong and FIX IT. Yes, when it comes to school shooting it gets more complicated because it involves the human factor. And humans are f-Ing complicated. Let’s start by identifying individuals who need help and actually providing mental health services and gun laws that make sense.
That's probably no longer possible, except here and there in blue "communist" states. But any national law that is passed (there won't be one, btw) will be immediately overturned by Clarence and the boys
Before you congratulate Olivia for writing another nice column, remember this: After she left the WH she took some sort of job that in her words, "would help protect the 2nd Amendment". W. T. F.
So now here we are, debating putting drones in schools that fire pepper spray. How long before they upgrade to drones that fire lethal rounds? That should go well
I really wish the International Court would do something about all these war crimes donnie et al are committing!
That SAVE act is nothing other than voter suppression! HE does NOT have any right to mettle in OUR elections! The SCOTUS had better leave well enough alone anything tRUMP asks for! I've read/heard that the number of non citizens voting is tiny and would have virtually NO effect on the outcome of any election. I can't wait for the Orange Buffoon to fall over dead.
"We’ve reached a point where a single billionaire can function almost like a national political party, and it’s become clear that modern campaigns aren’t won just by candidates anymore. They’re powered by turnout operations, sophisticated data, digital advertising, and the money to build them. Money doesn’t guarantee victory. We’ve all seen well-funded campaigns lose. However, it absolutely changes who gets organized, who gets contacted, and who shows up to vote."
Aside from Trump, Musk is an absolute THREAT to this country! This creature and his money need to be extracted like a cancer
Your article reminds me of Steve Bannon on TV trying to explain POV. He said look at light shinning on a cylinder. It casts a circle shadow and a rectangle shadow and said that’s different POV. However he failed to say that in truth it was a cylinder neither a circle or a rectangle. Thus, the truth escaped him and he saw a shadow and created propaganda.
Regarding the separation of Pete Buttigieg and his children: It is almost a routine for poor women, especially those who are homeless, to lose their children. CPS swoops in and the kids are gone, lost in the foster care system. It's one of the costs of being poor. A woman may go to a social service provider for help and instead of getting assistance, she loses her kids. It happens.
It has happened to people I know and respect, like my first boss working for Navajo Nation. She was a child with brothers and sisters living off-rez, when the white social workers swooped in and took them all and put them into various foster homes. When she grew up she was able to track a few of them down. One brother was living on the street in LA. The others, she never saw again.
Olivia, thanks for continuing to address the murders of Venezuelan fishermen. It is NOT about cocaine but about killing "brown skinned" people. Trump uses ICE to "kill" non-white residents dream of American success and he ACTUALLY murders Venezuelan fishermen. Not the U.S. but the international court of law will charge this convicted criminal with murder when he leaves office. He is NOTHIG MORE than a mob boss thug who murders at will!
"Traffickers have simply adapted, switching to larger vessels, commercial ships, aircraft, and new routes that avoid U.S. forces."
No doubt, entrepreneurs will always adapt, but it's ludicrous to suggest that ANY of these interdicted and destroyed boats were involved in any illegal activity vis a vis the US.
None of those boats had the range or payload to be useful for any such purpose.
It seems like Hegseth and Trump prefer to go with guns a’blazing, then figure out later who they killed and why! They are kind of doing the same in the Middle East now and it is getting them nowhere. Do you think they will ever learn that there are better ways to do things, even if they take longer.
Before launching basic red flag checks and decent gun regulations… America is launching drones that will attack the school to replace grown ass men who are afraid to step in. Wow 🤯

Drone technology - gee, what could possibly go wrong - lol
I know! The shooters will probably start bringing their own drones!
Drones, Cameras, etc - so disgusting. Appreciate your response
How about some sensible gun legislation?

We have SO lost our way it is in fact pathetic
Chantal, are you the same Chantal on channel 8 years ago?
Nah! I keep a pretty low profile
Olivia - always a great way to start my Saturday! Love ya!
The lasso story really touches me!🤩❤️

Thank you Olivia, for this and all your Saturday covfefes. I have admired you since you started warning about this rogue president on tv.

Worst idea yet, pepper spraying drones. Call me paranoid.
Thanks for your insights and succinct stories. Keep up this great work please.

I don’t disagree with you. We still don’t have a full picture of what happened with these boats that were bombed along the way..

Drones and AI instead of gun control. We are a lost civilization.
What a crazy week this was. As always, thanks for helping my brain sort through the noise!
