First up today, the Democratic response to the horrific mass shooting in Orlando seems to be to revise legislative initiatives repeatedly rejected by the NRA and GOP in years past. Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton call for measures to keep suspected terrorists from easily buying semi-automatic weapons of mass destruction, and Dems in the U.S. Senate stage a ‘filibuster’<\/a> in hopes of forcing Republicans to allow votes on some of the most low-hanging-fruit gun safety legislation.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, some Republicans, at least on Fox “News” (believe it or not), are finally calling for the enactment of some<\/i> common sense measures, and even Donald Trump is set to meet<\/a> with the terrorist-enabling NRA<\/a> concerning their years long fight to assure that those who the U.S. Government will not allow to board an airplane can still easily purchase all of the assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines they may want.<\/p>\n

Then, voting in the 2016 Presidential Primary season mercifully came to end with yesterday’s Democratic Primary in Washington D.C. where Clinton reportedly defeated Bernie Sanders by more than 50 points before the pair held a two-hour long private meeting<\/a> about the future of the party, after the close of polls. But the attempt to oversee the tallying, particularly here in California, where hundreds of thousands of Vote-by-Mail and Provisional ballots remain to be tallied<\/a>, continues.<\/p>\n

With a warning<\/a> from the “U.N.” that Donald Trump may be just months away from acquiring nuclear weapons, we open the phone lines to listeners on all of the above, before finally finishing up with our latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a>. Listen up, spread the word and keep up the good fight!<\/p>\n
