Ample . . .

. . . opportunities has Mr. Adams had to roll over in his grave . . .

(from wikipedia.com)
". . . In the closing months of his term Adams became the first president to occupy the new, but unfinished President's Mansion (later known as the White House) beginning November 1, 1800. "I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it," Adams wrote on his second night in the mansion. "May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.". . ."

. . . and he COULD have another very soon . . .

Mouth . . .

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/06/13/fox-friends-welcomes-trumps-islamophobia-obama-slanders/)
". . . objectionable suggestions were coming out of the mouth of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, and they met little resistance from the pliant crew of the Fox News morning program. The topic, of course, was the Orlando nightclub “The Pulse,” where Omar Mateen, who expressed loyalty to the Islamic State, massacred 49 other people Saturday night. “There are many, many people — thousands of people already in our country that are sick with hate and people that are around him — Muslims — know who they are, largely, they know who they are,” said Trump. “They have to turn them in. They know who they are. They see ’em. Like in the case of San Bernardino, there were bombs all over the floor. Many people saw the bombs. Those bombs weren’t there as play toys and they could have been reported long before San Bernardino took effect. Nobody’s reporting these people.” . . . “Fox & Friends” could have questioned whether it’s fair to hold “Muslims” — a population of 1.6 billion people worldwide — responsible for the actions of a single criminal Muslim. Are Christians held to that standard of self-policing? . . . "

I think NOT. . .

Sound . . .

. . . similar to any Americans in the news lately??? . . .

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/turkey-s-president-erdogan-calls-women-who-work-half-persons-n586421)
". . . Women who choose careers over motherhood are trailblazers in some parts of the world. But in Turkey they're "deficient" — at least according to the nation's president. . . is the latest in a series of remarks by the leader of a key U.S. ally that has sparked outrage and fear among liberals and human rights activists, who allege he's leading the country down a path to conservative Islam. . . "A woman who abstains from maternity by saying 'I am working' means that she is actually denying her femininity," Erdogan said in a widely reported speech in Istanbul on Sunday. . . Erdogan — who was prime minister for 11 years before becoming president in 2014 — said Muslim families should not engage in birth control or family planning. He has come out against cesareans, equated birth control with treason, and opined that women should avoid laughing in public — all the while using his strong Muslim faith to justify his ideas. . . "

Amendment . . .

(http://www.thenation.com/article/how-the-roberts-court-undermined-sensible-gun-control/)
“The Second Amendment was a response to concerns raised during the ratification of the Constitution that the power of Congress to disarm the state militias and create a national standing army posed an intolerable threat to the sovereignty of the several states,” then-Justice John Paul Stevens correctly noted in his minority opinion, joined by Justices David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. “Neither the text of the Amendment nor the arguments advanced by its proponents evidenced the slightest interest in limiting any legislature’s authority to regulate private civilian uses of firearms.”
