Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Ron needs to review some Jesus verses, such as Turn the other cheek and All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Anybody who thinks that Jesus would shoot back, or shoot first, might want to check that what they’ve been reading is really the Bible. You’re thinking of Han Solo, maybe, and he wasn’t even a Jedi (which some people seriously claim as their religion).
1Jesus just didn’t have a sweet Glock tucked away in his robe. If he had, things would have gone much, much differently after Gethsemane.
2Words fail me.
3Clearly ole Ron believes for every problem, there is a suitable ammunition caliber. That old goat in the Buick takes your parking place at Denny’s, .380, 10 times. That kid in the old Chevy with 22inch tires cuts you off in traffic, .223, 50 times. Damn Girls Scouts ringing the doorbell, .22LRHP high and wide warning shot. Then paint ’em with the laser!
Yeah ole Ron could burst into full involved, flaming stoopid in the next nano-second.
4The shooter killed people because they were in his class, not due to their faith. Why do these idiots always put god and guns in the same sentence? They’re as far from spirituality as one can get.
5So far, the single dominating “reason” behind the mass shootings: Lust. The last one, the guy complained about not having a girlfriend. In Isla Vista, the guy was p***ed because he wasn’t getting laid.
Recipe for disaster:
1) Tell girls they shouldn’t have consensual sex before they’re married because they might get pg out of wedlock.
2) Tell boys it’s ok to have as much sex as they want (consensual or not), and not wear a condom because it doesn’t matter if they get a girl pg because she’s a slut anyway.
3) Have a national media which saturates the entire society with sexual (innuendo and outright) overtones.
4) Add unlimited access to firearms.
5) Get the expected. Add prayers for the “innocent victims”
6) Repeat ad infinitum.
6Just why is it they are so terrified of meeting their maker, they’d kill to prevent it? Can only assume they really don’t believe the dead are in ‘a better place’ paradise.
7Ron forgot the gravy part of gods, guns, and gravy. Hope it’s not too greasy, or it might cause him a problem, when he bursts into flames and all his wife has is the gravy boat to douse him.
8Personally, it seems to me that we are also seeing a rise in social-media planned shootings involving teams at schools. Haters aren’t just hating, they are also arming up and planning assaults.
9Did he also accuse Obama of politicizing the issue?
10Tennessee, huh?
There’s another state to avoid.
Good Grief.
11Over two decades, conservatives have relied on the Dickey amendment to make the case that gun violence is not a public health issue.
Jay Dickey (R-AR) put an end to government-funded research of gun violence. He’s now admitted in an interview, “I have regrets.” He says his mind was changed after years of watching people lose their lives in mass shootings.
His namesake amendment eliminated the $2.6 million that the Center for Disease Control spent on researching the effects of firearms ownership on public health.
Passed by a Republican-dominated Congress, the NRA-backed amendment explicitly stated that, “None of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.”
Dickey now finds himself at odds with the current crop of conservatives in Congress, who he says are over-interpreting his law.
12……really???? this is what our leaders advocate. let’s not deescalate the situation, let’s give lethal weapons to everyone. what a moron. he’s also fanning the flames to generate a religious war by implying that one exists against christians. truly what a moron.
13My Dears,
Ronnie is SO MUCH WORSE than you know – he is on par with so many from Texas – a teeny tiny little man who is about 5’4″ 130 wet, and cowboy boots the size of Texas – ISTG.
His idiocy and religiosity are always up for show to further embarrass the rest of Tennesseans.
14I guess he did not hear about a Tn 12 year old shooting his 9 year old neighbor graveyard dead with shotgun because she refused to let him play with her puppy. Some enemy.
15@chas. in Louisiana
16At the risk of baseless accusations immodesty, even in my very, very early 60s I remain an accurate effective journeyman shooter with my handguns, BUT long ago, because I saw the light in my 20s, I dedicated my on the street life to de-escalation, deterrence, and avoidance. My most successful, winning-est gunfights were the ones I did not have.
@Larry Cross
Obama is making a side trip to Roseburg, Oregon during his West Coast trek for a few days. A local conservative news provider and the guns are still fun denizens in the area are livid that “taking our guns” Obama is doing so.
As we’ve seen time and again, conservative talking heads and their primal screamers see blood if Obama doesn’t make a press statement or reach out to their demographic of victims/survivors of violence. This side trip to honor what is truly the right wing’s induction the newest collection of the bereaved — raised bile in their craw.
17I’ve done a lot of thinking about these issues. I don’t believe it’s about a “gun culture” or a “rape culture” or a “cell phone culture” or any of the other “cultures” that the intellectual pundit crowd is pushing this week. All of their blather always seems to come up short of supplying a convincing reason.
I believe all of the “cultures” are manifestations of one origin point: the Cult of Me. The “iCulture”, if you will. In every case, the perps live in a world of their own making using a logic of their own design and reaching conclusions that exclude outside influences that could alter their decisions. They are acting out oblivious to the consequences in the full faith that what they are doing will somehow “fix” things whether realistically or symbolically. A huge delusional disconnect.
It’s always someone else’s “fault” and that fault can ONLY be corrected by the eradication of that “someone”. The Cult of Me taken to it’s farthest evolutionary scheme is a truly frightening thing to imagine. Add guns and bombs and religion. Mix well. BOOM!
18So those who are serious about their FAITH should get a GUN.
OK, then. I’m booking my one-way passage to Bonnaire. Seriously, I’m almost there.
19You can tell who the real Christians are right after a mass murder, they ask themselves “What would Jesus do?” and their answer is “Jesus would buy guns and more guns so he can kill his neighbors.”
20Gotta track down that song– “What would Jesus drive? Who would Jesus shoot?”
In the meantime, you get some interesting results if you do a search on those last four words. (We use Goodsearch, not Google– charity of your choice gets a penny for each search. Not much but it adds up, and more than Google does.)
21Today’s award for the most intellectually constipated pro-life we need more guns proponents:
Bobby Jindal blames Oregon shooter’s anti-gun dad: ‘He owes us all an apology’
Oregon gunman’s mother: I read Trump’s book to him before he was even born
Ben Carson would skip meeting families of Oregon mass shooting but ‘would probably go to the next one’ (a prescient kind o’ guy)
and he, the man’s man, says he wouldn’t just stand there to get shot. (he’d scream like a little girl)
To rile the usual suspects clenching their arsenals & sphincters: “the biggest victory of the NRA over the last generation isn’t so much making even the slightest and most modest gun control measures a political impossibility. The bigger win is the strategic victory of focusing the ‘debate….'”

10, 9, 8, countdown until the red states legislators make it illegal to say the words “gun violence, mass killings, gun control” as they made it illegal to say “climate change & global warming.”
22Begonia, the RWNJ’s act the same way if you ask them for the time of day. They go ballistic. There were some of this same dip wads in the little town my family came from but they were never considered acceptable in any way. Most of them were on the cusp of reclusion to begin with and everyone felt much better when they turned into complete and terminal hermits. And no, they did not have guns of any sort. Such stuff was way too expensive for anyone living on the local economy.
23@ JAKVirginia,
The iCulture is an interesting premise, but I disagree. These people are not coming up with their decisions to act in a vacuum of ego. Many are getting involved with hate-mongering internet or social media sites. Maybe they do spend hours on high-action video games and lose their empathic connections or reality check. Or they start reading that “as a guy she should always put out for you” and “guys are the master” so that it builds that self-delusional iCulture.
We are overwhelming are market of media sources with bad models (of behavior) and messages. It is corrosive. And yes, I know that others may experience it without the same escalation of gun violence, but I still see the innundation of bad models and messages and video games played for hours as adrenalin dumps in the body and directly impacting people’s ability to make better decisions.
Years ago, all the movies showed “smoking” after dinner as part of what elegant people did. It perpetuated the smoking culture so rampant then. What is the message now: alcohol and guns? Or more accurately, alcohol and violence?
Sorry,
24Thanks to Rhea teasing the mind, had to peek at the ‘is Jeebus a predatory killer?’ chat board where posters clarified the issue for stupid people who ask:
“Jesus would shoot whoever needed to be shot, with an utter sadness in His heart for having to do it.” — ex-military
“Jesus is God. You can’t get very far into the Bible before God goes on a killing spree and if guns had been invented then, you can bet he would have had his chosen people go forth and bust a cap.” — Healthcare Security Officer, Hypnotist
“No one until threatened with fear of imminent peril of death, or great bodily harm to himself” — I have studied religion and the spirit for the last forty years (but didn’t read about Romans dragging his bedraggled patootie through town and up to the hillside to die with great bodily harm to himself)
25Arm ’em all. Kounterfeit kristian kristapo.
26Augie,jeebus has forward looking eyes,the same as all predators. He does not have the predatory instinct that killers have.At least not the jeebus I remember from long ago bible study(1st Baptist no more)
27Selective Scripture for the baggers.
28Star: I see your point. The “bad influences” reasoning I’ve thought myself. But then how do we explain those people exposed to the same influences (many) who don’t act out negatively? I believe the root cause runs deeper than “something made him/her do it”. There is deliberate choice involved here; deliberate, rational (from their perspective) choice. Choosing to see themselves as victims, choosing to fight back against a perceived oppressor and always to protect or elevate the self and its esteem. The Umpqua CC murders is an extreme example but this cult mentality appears throughout our society in lesser forms but always with one prevalent theme: Look at me.
29JAK Virginia: can’t top your comment … thank you, from a fellow Virginian. We live to the seat of horror here.

31Well, dang, let us “edit”. We oldies have passion, but lousy vision.
32What a maroon.
33Jak, Star et al – they do it for the simple reason they can. There is some sort of feeling of invincibility involved, just like the feeling of invincibility that comes with drugs. Even euphoria can be felt in killing. Yup. Guns and violence are one hell of a high. And you know one thing about addiction. You are always chasing the next best high and higher and higher.
34No, the lead in the water is in Flint, Michigan. I don’t what Tennessee’s excuse is.
