Portrait of What’s Missing In this Country
Although this article ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/georgia-gun-shop-owner-shutters-store-mass-shootings-targeting-childre-rcna87116 ) was from a major news network, I haven’t heard much about it in any other media. A Georgia gun shop owner grew tired of children getting murdered or injured by guns, and feared what could be done with a firearm he sold. He maintains his support of the SecondContinue reading “Portrait of What’s Missing In this Country”
If We Just Take Their Bullsh*t…
When the Republican Fear Manufacturing Commission declares with zero evidence that gay people and drag queens are all exclusively responsible for child molestation in this country and we say nothing…independents will start to believe them. Moreover, saying nothing officially makes us all look like feeble pushovers. We have to give it back to them andContinue reading “If We Just Take Their Bullsh*t…”
Are We Coming to Our Collective Senses?
What I have always found so frustrating about the rise of Trumpism is not that he was such a revoltingly bigoted and ignorant grifter, but that he had so many mindless followers who were praying for him to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue so that they could ignore it. It appears, mercifully, that the crestContinue reading “Are We Coming to Our Collective Senses?”
“My rifles comforted me after the terrifying future revelations portrayed in Planet of the Apes.”
–Charlton Heston The news is getting better. Our neighbor state Indiana has joined 23 other states in permitting public carry of a pistol without a permit.: https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/indiana-eliminates-permit-requirement-for-carrying-a-handgun-in-public/article_ac088279-07d7-5d41-89b4-2c00708edc27.html At least some states seem to be preparing their citizens for the post apocalyptic world. The flippant jokes I can make about my fears for the world areContinue reading ““My rifles comforted me after the terrifying future revelations portrayed in Planet of the Apes.””
Self Evidently Speaking….
Two Revelations: A) Putin is an infinitely more dangerous enemy than Osama Bin Laden ever was. Nearly everybody was willing to do pretty much anything to bring the latter to justice, whereas now, one-third of the country is fine siding with someone who is seriously threatening nuclear war…you know, the kind of thing that wouldContinue reading “Self Evidently Speaking….”
“…Only in America…”
–Asinine American Adage Only in America (or perhaps Syria, Yemen, or Afghanistan) or any other war torn country, would it be necessary for me to dust off my firearms, clean them, and watch the news with trepidation. If you haven’t been paying attention, the Right Wing wants this war more than anything. Oh, and oneContinue reading ““…Only in America…””
“Vesuvio non erumpant! Falsus nuntium!”
Translation: “Vesuvius will not erupt! Fake news!” Regulus, Roman town crier, 78 a.d. Letters to the Editor Dear Sir/Madam: Ok right, a dam breaks and causes a flood. Supposedly there are some questions about the water quality in Flint.

***Letters to the Editor***
“The Voice of The People can be Summarized as the Reader’s Digest Version of the TV Guide, with a jigger of Supermarket Tabloid, and two shots of Pornography.” —Vernon Nashe McNair, 1983. 4-28-20 Dear Sir/Madame, It took decades, but finally a U.S. President said something more stupid than my “trees cause pollution” line. IContinue reading “***Letters to the Editor***”
1st, the Revolution. 2nd, the Civil War. 3rd, the Civil Rights Movement. Now, we are in the U.S. 4th civil war.
I already made a reference to this idea in this blog . Suggestion We now have further evidence of the war’s presence: Muslims Buying Guns I cannot say I blame them. I am sure that with a brief search, there is an article out there about Jews increasingly buying guns after Pittsburgh. It’s more intense with theContinue reading “1st, the Revolution. 2nd, the Civil War. 3rd, the Civil Rights Movement. Now, we are in the U.S. 4th civil war.”
