The Pi Brew
We’re back with an all new Brew. Joel Embiid got the shaft again from the NBA. The Eagles make another roster move. The nation mourns again after a school shooting in Texas and shockingly (not) the politicians of this Country won’t do anything about it. Hurricane season is coming. We have a lot to get into as always, so let’s do this. It’s Brew time!
Joel Embiid gets screwed again

More drama brewing for the Nets?
Kevin Durant and the Nets front office have not spoken since they were swept out of the first round, per @Krisplashed
“…if Irving leaves the Nets, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Durant becomes frustrated with the organization’s ability to put championship pieces around him.” pic.twitter.com/oDm72lTVde

Oh look… Raphael “Ted” Cruz is whipping out his power of prayer to save us
Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde.
We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding.
Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.

What a shock
Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, along with Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz, is scheduled to speak at the NRA’s annual meeting in Houston on Friday, three days after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that has left at least 14 children and one teacher dead. https://t.co/S8q5cDzfkJ

“Returning to God” doesn’t save lives, you dumbass!
Our nation needs to take a serious look at the state of mental health today.
Sometimes meds can be the problem.
America is failing our youngest generations from decades of rejecting good moral values and teachings.
We don’t need more gun control.
We need to return to God.
