The other obvious problem is that the left is going to go wild if Trump wins. Que the 2020 style street riots that the media will proclaim... Continue Reading →
It is amazing how radical leftists, who so desperately push gun control so as to disarm their fellow citizen, are quite quick to use firearms if in the service of, say, shooting at a presidential candidate you don’t like. There have been four Presidents assassinated in our history. All three were republicans, killed by democrat... Continue Reading →
Another school shooting this week, this time at a Highschool in Georgia, killing two students and two teachers. The most bewildering thing about this situation is that it was committed by a 14-year-old. As of this writing little is released about the perpetrator. Does it matter?

The very low crime neighborhood, and county in general, in which I have now lived for over a decade has seen a massive uptick in violent crime in the... Continue Reading →
The number of violent confrontations that transpire, which could easily be avoided, within the Continental United States each year is significant.
