Whats going on in the World

BREAKING: Obama delivers a powerful tribute after Rob Reiner’s murder as Trump spits on his grave — and Americans are stunned by the contrast.

In a moment that called for basic human decency, America got a side-by-side contrast so stark it felt like a morality play.

Barack Obama responded to the deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, with empathy, humility, and class.

“Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them,’ the former president posted on X.

His message centered on grief, love, and legacy. He spoke about Reiner’s belief in the goodness of people, about a life lived with purpose, and about the inspiration Rob and Michele gave to others. It was a reminder of what leadership looks like when it understands that words can heal. No politics. No ego. Just humanity.

Then came Donald Trump.

While Obama offered condolences, Trump used the deaths of two people to settle scores. In a rambling Truth Social post, Trump mocked Reiner as “tortured” and “struggling,” smeared him with the made-up slur “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” and somehow managed to turn a tragedy into a self-congratulatory rant about his own “Golden Age of America.” Even the obligatory “rest in peace” landed like an afterthought, tacked on after a barrage of cruelty.

This wasn’t just bad taste — it was a window into character.
Obama spoke to the country. Trump spoke to his resentments. Obama honored a life and a marriage defined by creativity and values. Trump reduced two deaths to an excuse for ridicule and grievance. One man showed respect for the dead and compassion for the living. The other showed that even grief is no barrier to his appetite for insult.

The American people have seen this pattern before. When tragedy strikes, Obama’s instinct is empathy. Trump’s instinct is always about attacking his perceived enemies and protecting himself.

And that’s the real comparison voters should sit with. Leadership isn’t about who shouts the loudest or who insults best. It’s about who knows when to be silent, when to be kind, and when to rise above hatred.

In this moment, one former president acted like a statesman. The other acted exactly as America has come to expect — cruel, petty, and incapable of grace.

Funny you bring that up.

Because that movie was the trigger to end mental health care in this country.

I'm wondering where all the calls are for knife control are after these incidents.

A young woman was repeatedly stabbed in a NY bathroom while she was changing her baby's diaper, by a woman who was just released from a mental institution because she said she heard voices telling her to do it.

Why was this fu¢#ing nut let out of the nuthouse!?

Why aren't most of the shooters in a nuthouse? They usually have a long history of mental illness.

Why are there homeless people wandering the streets, pushing people in front of subway trains?

Well,.... guess what? They were let out of the nuthouse!

Yet another example of the left trying to normalize mental illness (just like illegal immigrants) and turning them loose in the citizens. leading to (un) intended consequences. And shame on the RINOs for not standing up to it.

I'm not going to live long enough to compile a list if all the murders and other horrific crimes committed by the mentally ill. I'm just trying to make the point that the significant factor isn't the weapon, it's the crazy. But the left never passes up an opportunity to blame firearms.
