Slotkin is all in for public schools, yet... as a child she went to the prestigious and exclusive Cranbrook Academy, then upon graduation went out of state to attend the elite institutions of Cornell, and Columbia. She is out of touch with middle class America and she's just fine with that as long as she can make a living on their taxes.

Mike Rogers did a great job of pointing out that although Elissa Slotkin is campaigning as a moderate who wants change, she has voted over 95% of the time with Biden and Harris. The fact that she won't come clean about that and try to defend her far left voting record is reason enough for her not to get my vote. I would respect her if she would explain why she has voted the way she did, instead, she wants us to ignore her record. I actually voted for her the first time she ran for the house because I believed she was going to be moderate, given that she said she worked for Democrats and Republicans. And she repeats this every 2 years that she runs, but she has never voted with the Republicans at all. I can't believe she keeps promising this.

[@mazzy2121]

Why is it "far left" simply because she agreed with the bills put forward by the current administration? There is no republican administration to vote with right now. Basically you seem to believe that ANY vote with the left is "far left", which says it all -0 you wouldn't be satisfied with her even if she voted republican 99% of the time because you will do anything to stand with your team rather than with policy. Pathetic.

[@Johnadams20760]

excactly. she loves to rely on her CIA service record serving under 2 different parties administrations. i get that. but she was not a politician and only doing her job at that point. as soon as she got into politics she has been hard core left. she is fooling noone. well ok, she fools many but not as many as she hopes

[@astrotherapist]

She voted 95% of the time with Biden/Harris because what they were proposing were and are good policies, and the bills they passed into law like the inflation reduction act and other laws are ways the Biden/Harris administration has helped the citizens of the United States. What has the Republicans in Congress done the last two years? NOTHING!!! How can she vote to pass anything into law, when they have not propose any new bills or laws for two years?!

28:05 The best answer on addressing gun violence I have heard in a long time. 👏 It begins with a fact and it's delivered strongly and precisely.

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

No, that is not the best answer. The truth is NOBODY can prevent gun violence. Guns are always going to be available legally or illegally. The FACTS are EDUCATION. Parents need to be held responsible if they want to own guns. I am 100% for Ethans Law. OWNING guns are/is a responsibility and you, as a parent, have the responsibility to teach your child responsible gun ownership. It is your responsibility to lock the guns up, No matter what. If someone wants a gun they will find one. But if you have done everything right you are protected. It is a parents responsibility to watch your child's mental health status, it is your responsibility to get them the help they need, therapy and/or medication. People need to stop pushing the blame on everyone else. It is no different than teaching your child about Safe sex, drugs and driving. Parents need to get off their phones, get off social media, discipline and educate your child.

GUN VIOLENCE. USA United States has a higher rate of gun violence than many other countries, including: Homicide The US has a gun homicide rate that is 19 times higher than France, 77 times higher than Germany, and 33 times higher than Australia. Overall deaths The US has the highest overall rate of death from firearms in the world. In 2021, the US had 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people, which is more than seven times higher than Canada and 340 times higher than the UK. Child deaths Gun violence accounts for a higher percentage of deaths among people under 20 in the US than in other countries. Number of guns The US is the only high-income country where there are more civilian-owned guns than people. Women Women are more likely to be killed by a firearm in the US than in other high-income countries. Cost Medicaid pays for most of the hospital care costs for firearm injuries in the US. Some countries, like Japan, have strict gun control laws and low gun death rates. In Japan, most guns are illegal, and those that are permitted require a background check, formal instruction, and annual inspections.

There's a lot of information. What is true and what is false is never known by one. As we live many lives and follow the parts of others, not one can be sure of the truth. As we are all sinners, would we not want to seek justice and mercy from that of a sinner? Though, the only option visible in this light is the option that is presented. Would not that lead to the truth sometimes? It would, though, we roam around aimlessly on that which is important to agree or disagree. We follow one another, sinners, searching for answers, seeking justice and mercy. For when is the insanity enough, and to you I say that truth has always been, always is, and always will be. The light of the world is not to shine on sinners, but to the Lord's people. Is it strange how we then think the light is not on those who have already been called. The light is only on me, we say, figuratively speaking. I know the truth, to you we know faithfully that we are not worthy, for you to proclaim you are is blasphemous. Only Jesus Christ knows the truth, I say would not the creator of all things visible and invisible for eternity in some, know all to what has, and what is to be. Have faith in the Lord, those amongst in your groups will rise up, and not one will be harmed from the Lord. May the Lord's light shine upon you, may the Holy Spirit speak to you, and may God have mercy on our souls. Thank you Jesus.
