To put that 1 in 25 number in perspective, 1 in 53 Americans is Jewish.

Do something long enough—even something seemingly contrary to your nature—and it becomes your nature. Politicians don’t take stands. Their nature is to agree. Doesn’t matter what you’re saying.

Wait... Vegas was domestic terrorism? Investigators have established that the motive was to influence policy by way of violence and have identified the cause with which the shooter was aligned?
