Donald Trump will have a real contest now in the Primary. In a smart move by DeSantis, he discussed the move with Tesla and Twitter owner Elon Musk before talking to a Fox News reporter. Trump (56.3 points) is ahead of DeSantis in the polls by 36 points. DeSantis is at #2 and way ahead in the polls over former Vice President Pence, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, current Senator Tim Scott, and businessman Srivatsa Ramaswamy. All other potential candidates are under two points, including former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexico\u2019s biggest problem right now is the eruption of the Popocatepetl (Known as El Popo) Volcano and millions of people have evacuated. This volcano was the most dangerous and active volcano. 25 million people live in a radius of 60 miles from the volcano. It is about 45 miles from the capital of Mexico City. In the last century, this volcano was not active, but since a scary episode in the 1990s, there have been some trembling effects there. The U.S. Embassy was evacuated as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a Yahoo News article about the feud between U.S. representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jamaal Bowman, Greene said: \u201cHe was aggressive; his physical mannerisms were aggressive,\u201d Greene told reporters during an unrelated press conference on Thursday, a day after their confrontation. \u201cI am concerned about it. I feel threatened by him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his own statement, Bowman said of Greene&#8217;s comments: &#8220;Marjorie&#8217;s attack is beyond a dog-whistle. It\u2019s a bullhorn. And it\u2019s reckless and dangerous. She has put a target on my back.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are our elected representatives working for the people or their own ego? We are paying them millions of dollars but see no outcome in helping us. The people, if united, can change their attitude and make them start working for the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lobbying in Washington D.C. costs a lot of money. If there is ban on assault weapons and semi-automatic guns, they don\u2019t need to lobby, and with that, they will save some money against the huge profits they used to get it. I once worked in a police equipment manufacturing company as a controller. So, I know a little about the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state of Illinois\u2019 ban on certain guns will take on May 24, 2023. The Supreme Court declined to issue a stay against the ban. The law bans the sale and new possession of semi-automatic assault weapons. The law also restricts the sale of large capacity magazines. It\u2019s a good start. Chicago has had the highest crime rate in the past few years. Gun lobby groups will continue to fight with all the legal remedies to overturn the ban. However, the ban is a good start. This should be happening all over the United States of America. In my opinion, the ban will reduce violent crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Have a wonderful week.
