Conservatives take note! President Trump has managed to tick off a bunch of military big wigs; John Kelly, Martin Dempsey, James Mattis, Mike Mullin plus his own Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Seems they all agree there is no reason to invoke the “Insurrection Act” to quell protesters. By the way, Esper will probably be out of a job because he had the backbone to publicly disagree with Trump. Now we learn all four former living presidents as well as Colin Powell and Mitt Romney are showing disdain for supporting Trump. Perhaps it is my paranoia, but I have to…

Maybe that’s the real new normal. One thing is very clear and that is many people have absolutely no ability to think! Clear concise thought is a thing of the past. Truth and facts mean nothing. All you have to do now is plant the seeds of stupid. And watch it grow. So here we had the entire country locked down, schools shut down and every other…

Where, in which rule book or statute is it stated that when a group of people are angry (even justifiably so) that they are allowed to destroy private property and steal from blameless victims.

How can it possibly be, that elected officials whose job is to see to the good of their communities, are openly…

In the 1955 western movie “A Lawless Street” those who wanted power hired a gunman to rid the city of the lawman, in this case the sheriff, so they could take over the city and all the businesses. The sheriff was eventually gunned down. Although he was only wounded, his friend pronounced him dead and took him away and took care of him.

Anyone who stood against them were destroyed or punished, forced to do…
