Around noon on Tuesday, a similar tragedy was repeated after a decade of failing to protect American schools and deal with America\u2019s mental health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In Uvalde, Texas, an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School as he went on a rampage from classroom to classroom after shooting his own grandmother. President Joe Biden was quick to address the nation in prime time, eager to exploit the episode of violence as a rallying cry for gun control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen in God\u2019s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?\u201d the president asked. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"ureR5BKClb9w1I8jQMqYG\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That he would make comments like this tells you he doesn\u2019t care at all about what happened. He doesn\u2019t care about the victims. He doesn\u2019t care about their families.<\/p>\n<p>All he cares about is name-checking stale, left-wing talking points on the DNC\u2019s to-do list. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/haV7fT6o0g\">https:\/\/t.co\/haV7fT6o0g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sean Davis (@seanmdav) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/seanmdav\/status\/1529274870730739712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Just last week, Biden also harnessed a racially charged shooting at a Buffalo, New York supermarket to go after his political enemies. Yet he was oddly absent from Wisconsin last fall when a black suspect\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/24\/suspect-charged-in-waukesha-tragedy-called-for-violence-against-white-people\/\">motivated by anti-white racism<\/a>\u00a0allegedly rammed an SUV through a holiday parade, brutally killing at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/11\/23\/us\/waukesha-car-parade-crowd-tuesday\/index.html\">six<\/a>. The president\u2019s selective presence based on political circumstances is just as much reflected in where the White House has decided to allocate scarce tax dollars in a series of colossal spending packages. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, President Biden signed $40 billion ($40,000,000,000) in additional U.S. spending on Ukraine, roughly $20 billion of which is direct military assistance and less than $2 billion of which is allocated to humanitarian efforts. That\u2019s after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/03\/18\/upshot\/ukraine-aid-details.html\">nearly $14 billion<\/a> in American dollars were sent to the war-torn country in March. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, the president also signed the $1.9 trillion ($1,900,000,000,000) \u201cAmerican Rescue Plan,\u201d capping off $180 billion in federal dollars to K-12 schools over the Covid lockdowns. None of the above was a serious upgrade in armed school security even though lawmakers protect themselves with the kind of resources denied to students. <\/p>\n<p>K-12 schools remain among the most unprotected institutions in America despite the tragic new need for change proven a decade ago. In 2019, Democrats even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/education-news\/articles\/2019-03-14\/democrats-seek-to-block-federal-funds-to-arm-teachers\">blocked<\/a> a proposal to arm teachers with federal dollars.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
