I witnessed the Palo Alto incident. The women all had large bags that they filled up and then pushed the employee out of the way. Dangerous situation for employees, she was shaken up but otherwise ok. Could be prevented by making people check large bags.

Thank goodness for our President's speech on the Great American Drug Crisis today.

He promised to declare it a National Emergency in his campaign and spend billions.

Today's speech did neither.

Oh,well. 7 American killed every hour from drugs. That's 140+ a day. On you now, Donnie.

Appalachia not gonna like that.

Oh, well.
