Source: MARK RALSTON / Getty Walmart Ends Handgun And Rifle Ammunition Sales The folks at Walmart are about to set the red neck community OFF according to a story to a CNN report. The biggest retail chain in America has announced that they will no longer sell handgun and “short-barrel rifle ammunition” like the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber that are both used in assault weapons. Additionally, Walmart will no longer allow customers to openly carry their weapons inside their stores. “It’s clear to us that the status quo is unacceptable,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo to employees on Tuesday. The company still plans to sell long barrel deer rifles and shotgun as well as the ammunition for those guns. McMillion said that the latest policy is a direct result of the mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, Midland and Odessa. “We feel like we are striking a responsible balance between the interests of law-abiding citizens who are exercising their legal rights and the safety concerns of our associates and customers,” he said. We’ll see, but we have a feeling that Republicans and NRA nuts are NOT gonna be happy. That said, we’re glad that Walmart had the balls to take a stand. Sad that the United States government can’t seem to take one…
Source: franklin lugenbeel / Getty September is Suicide Awareness Month , also known as Suicide Prevention Month, which brings awareness to the taboo topic that most are afraid to talk about. As we all know, the pain of suicide doesn’t only affect the victim, it affects family and friends exactly the same, but for much longer. The National Alliance on Mental Illness Website said of the commemorative month: “We use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention. NAMI is here to help.” The most effective way to prevent suicide is to first know the signs and and to educate yourself about the condition as much as possible. Just like most things in life, there are some stigmas and incorrect info being spread in the world about the topic of suicide. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Over 800,000 people die by suicide annually. That’s 1 person every 40 seconds. It’s time to drop the stigmas and get informed… The more we know,… https://t.co/oQYMf7a8Ka — Start The Wave (@StartTheWave) September 10, 2018 One common myth is that who die by suicide are selfish and take the easy way out. But quite the contrary. According to NAMI : “Typically, people do not die by suicide because they do not want to live—people die by suicide because they want to end their suffering. These individuals are suffering so deeply that they feel helpless and hopeless. Individuals who experience suicidal ideations do not do so by choice. They are not simply, “thinking of themselves,” but rather they are going through a very serious mental health symptom due to either mental illness or a difficult life situation.” Help save some lives today by getting your facts straight. Hit the flip.
Donald Trump’s relationship with his children has been a subject of intense scrutiny for several years now. As far as we can tell, the family dynamic breaks down like this: Ivanka is the obvious favorite, and in a more permissive time and place, she would likely wind up replacing her father’s mysteriously-slain wife in an ill-defined role, after Milania was snuffed out in a nefarious plot straight out of Shakespeare or George R.R. Martin. Don Jr., of course, is his father’s right-hand man and future fall guy, and as much as the sight of his shaved ferret visage might cause your lunch to rise in the back of your throat, the thought of him still defending his dad in his third or fourth year of sporting a county orange jumpsuit should give you a chuckle. Eric — what can we say about Eric that hasn’t already been said about Lenny in Of Mice and Men ? He might mean well, but he should not be trusted around children or small animals. Barron is just trying to maintain, and we very much look his Mommie Dearest -esque memoir about his years in the White House. And then there’s Tiffany — the most mysterious of the Trump children. For the most part, Tiff managed to keep a low profile during the years in which her father transitioned from harmless reality TV punchline to dangerous demagogue punchline. Prior to that transformation, Tiffany tried to make it as a singer , but she was held back by uncertainty within the music industry and the fact that she’s utterly lacking in anything resembling talent. In the year’s since her father rode a wave of white supremacist furor — sorry, “economic anxiety” — to the White House, Tiffany has been embroiled in the occasional mini-scandal here and there, but it’s usually just the usual gross nonsense we’ve come to expect from her dad, such as the time video emerged of Donald discussing Tiffany’s future breasts when she was a baby. (Again, the remnants of your most recent sandwich burbling up to your uvula is the appropriate response here.) It’s great for Tiff that she’s been able to distance herself from her sundowning dad, but the reason he’s allowed her to do so is undeniably sad. By all accounts, Donald simply doesn’t like Tiffany . The nature of their tempestuous relationship was essentially confirmed this week when a White House assistant named Madeline Westerhout made some off the record comments about Tiffany at a New Jersey golf club while in the company of reporters. “She had a couple drinks and in an uncharacteristically unguarded moment, she opened up to the reporters,” one insider told Politico. Specifically, Westerhout claimed that the president does not like to be photographed with Tiffany due to the fact that he considers her overweight. Westerhout was promptly fired for her comments, and Trump refuted the claim while speaking with reporters over Labor Day weekend. “I love Tiffany,” the president said, adding that she’s “great person,” which might be the most half-assed fatherly sentiment in history. Donald added that Westerhout’s comments are “absolutely false” and “hurtful.” “While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it,” he later tweeted. “She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I fully understood and forgave her! I love Tiffany, doing great!” You know he had to cut himself off before adding: “I’m a very Forgiving President, folks. I forgive my Daughter for being fat, really just tremendous forgiveness all around. #ChosenOne” View Slideshow: Tiffany Trump: The Donald’s Daughter is Hotter Than His Temper!
