Jim Flanigan Looks at the World
Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015

I really was planning on marching today for sensible gun control. Honest! This is not a bad March day to march in the Chicagoland area. It is crisp and chilly, but no snow or rain predicted for the marches. And the marches are freakin’ everywhere today. No need to take the train into Chicago to march. Just look outside your home. There is a good chance that a March For Our Lives will be going right past your house.
We are sidelined today as my youngest daughter has officially been confirmed a victim of the flu, and I am exhibiting some of the signs. I knew there was a good reason to avoid contact with my family. So we will sit this march out today, but will be cheering on those marchers we watch on TV and if any pass by our house.
It’s not that I want to get rid of all guns.

I’m going to cut Donald Trump some slack on this tweet from early this morning …

Although I circled 5 errors, I am willing to give the guy a break. He was up early, working hard, tweeting away. Mistakes happen. They just seem to happen everyday, multiple times per day to Trump. Just FYI, although Trump has referred to himself in the third person before, in this tweet he was trying to quote scumbag lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Sorry, alleged scumbag lawyer Alan Dershowitz. To his credit, Trump corrected the tweet. Here is the “corrected” version …
I won my uncontested race to be the Democratic Precinct Committeeman in the 8th Precinct of St Charles Township. And I feel I should add … No Collusion!

If I won, who lost. Oh right, anyone who lives in my precinct. Is it too early to demand a recount?

After the upcoming primary election in a week, area Democrats will get together the following month for a unifying convention. Yay! Party time!

It could be as contentious as shown in the pic after an increasingly nasty primary campaign, but I do not expect it to look that fun or weird. I am excited that there may be a new opportunity for me to rise up the ladder in the Democratic Party.
I voted early in the Illinois primary. See, I have proof. I have a sticker.

I voted with my middle daughter, which I thought was kinda’ cool. I did tell her it was a crime if she didn’t take a sticker. She bought it!
It also felt weird, but good, to be voting with one of my kids. How did she get to be 21 and why do I still have a much younger daughter not even in double-digits yet in age? What felt even weirder was knowing that she voted for me.


Is it just me, or do some of you also feel that this proposed meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un will go something like this …


You know those houses with all those political signs outside and probably lots of cats inside?


Just what is it about guns that make people so addicted to owning them? After a months long undercover investigation, the Jim Flanigan Looks at the World Investigative Team has that answer. Continue reading “Addicted to Gun Love”

Donald Trump has invited me for dinner. That’s right. I just got this email invitation …
