I’d love for someone to examine the differences in media coverage of mass murderers who perish in those events and those who don’t.
Stop centering this domestic terrorist.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

My family and I - my husband, daughters, my mother - are survivors of the Highland Park 4th of July Parade mass murder.
We sat across the street from the shooter’s rooftop perch.
We draped ourselves across our kids down on the curb. We heard 100s of gun shots and screams and horror. We hid.

We saw South Carolina play in the opener against Michigan in Vegas. All we could talk about that night was a) Gamecocks fans are the real deal and b) how good that Canadian freshman is for the Wolverines.
Michigan plays UCLA on Jan. 1. Watch it on BTN.

Why are some people so open-minded except when it comes to what is and isn’t “breakfast” food?
