1. Holy @*)(#RU)()(!!

In the evening. So a major presidential statement.

2. Keep it short, simple and strong.

3. I'm sorry but I hope he isn't going to

kiss up to McConnell et al. A certain amount of politeness is called for of course, but he needs to clearly state what our side is for and why.

5. +1, and; he must hold REPUBLICANS accountable for the shootings.

It’s time to stop saying “Congress” and start saying “Republicans in Congress”. Because, that is reality.

7. It's past time to call a spade a spade. He needs to call them and the gun lobby out.

The White House said he will speak to the nation at 7:30 p.m.

President Joe Biden will deliver prime-time remarks on Thursday evening "on the recent tragic mass shootings, and the need for Congress to act to pass commonsense laws to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is taking lives every day," according to the White House.

Biden taking the national spotlight comes amid some criticism over his apparent lack of involvement with congressional lawmakers negotiating a package amid a national reckoning over gun violence.

The latest mass shooting on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, leaving four dead, follows a massacre of 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, as well as an apparently racially-motivated attack at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, leaving 10 Black people dead.

6. An appeal to Congress

Will fall on deaf ears for about half of them.

8. Is he going to declare a national emergency?

11. Even the west coast can see it. AND watch the NBA.

I "had" to do a web search to get the TZ. On the 6th try, it's ET (DST?)
Fifth try had GMT, thanks a lot.

Anyway, the point is that the NBA finals game 1 is at 6 pm west coast time.

WATCH BOTH.

SHOOT BASKETS, NOT PEOPLE!
East Coast:
7:30 Biden
9:00 Basketball

West Coast:
4:30 Biden
6:00 Basketball

Cartographers, correct me if I got this wrong.
MSM, There really IS a west coast.

12. Perhaps They Should Schedule These Weekly

Or even Daily, for that matter.
