Updated, 12:55 pm: As the United States and the world mourn this week over a school shooting in Walde, Texas, the president and first lady will be spending this memorial weekend in a lonely small town.
The day after Joe Biden announced he would be leaving for Texas “within a few days,” the White House announced Thursday that Commander-in-Chief and Dr. Jill Biden will leave for Waltz on Sunday.
“On Sunday May 29, the President and the First Lady will travel to Walton, Texas to mourn the loss of 21 people in an elementary school shooting,” the administration said in a statement. “This trip will be for United Press. More details will follow. “
The site of the May 24 massacre of 19 fourth-graders and two senseless killings of adults by a gun maniac on May 24 is the second mass shooting that President Biden and the First Lady will visit in less than two weeks. . Speaking of a nation rife with gunfire and violence, the first couple was in Buffalo on May 17 after a white nationalist gunned down 10 people at a friendly market in New York City’s black neighborhood.
Politicians on both sides have offered all the usual nonsense of broken hearts and prayers, but less truthful action at the national or state level is expected to stop gun violence in America. As for DC, the fearful NRA will hold a meeting tomorrow in Houston with Republicans like Texas Governor St. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
At the beginning of May 25: In less than two weeks, for the second time, President Joe Biden will personally travel to the United States to the scene of a deadly mass shooting.
“Jill and I will be going to Texas in the next few days to meet the families and let them know that we have a vision of their grief and hope that a little comfort will lead the community through shock, sadness and trauma.” The commander-in-chief, who was obviously concerned about this, said today at a meeting in the White House.

“I think we should all be for them, for everyone,” Biden added.
On Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman entered Robbie Elementary School in Wawald, west of San Antonio, killing 19 fourth-graders, a teacher and another adult. Following the 212th mass shooting in the country this year, the Lone Star State tragedy also injured 17 other people.
The killings occurred after an 18-year-old white nationalist killed 10 people at a luxury market in the African American borough of Buffalo, New York. On May 17, the President and the First Lady traveled to the Empire State Building to pay their respects and meet the bereaved families in person.
Speaking before arriving on Air Force One, Biden expressed concern over the failed attempts by a mass after the mass shooting to stop violence and gun proliferation in the United States. POTUS said the reform “will be very difficult, but I will not give up”.
The May 24 massacre in the town of Waldal, near the border, is the deadliest shooting with a firearm in the country in the past decade. On December 14, 2012, a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
Like Uvalde’s killer, Newton’s killer shot an elderly woman in the family before he was about to attack her. Unfortunately, like the 2012 firearms atrocity, the 30th K-12 shooting of 2022 will be any reform attempt stifled by partisan politics and the terrifically feared NRA.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Republican Senator Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump will speak at the NRA convention in Houston on Friday.
