The Parkland school massacre should be the justification for banning ROTC from public schools.

It had been in the works.  Instead of engaging in the traditional revulsion associated with a mass shooting, or even digesting the grief of outraged students and grieving parents, US President Donald Trump’s solution to guns violence was elementary.  To target the perpetrator, it was necessary to arm instructors, mount the barricades, and raise the stakes.

(FEE Op-ed) — In the wake of yet another mass shooting in a public school, a host of familiar recommendations have resurfaced about how to “prevent this from ever happening again.” Predictably, both conservatives and liberals are looking to the government for a solution. Americans have somehow arrived at a point where they cannot conceive of […]

Bunker mentality, children's crusade and 'Telecommunication Breakdown' + this day in history w/the Baltimore Plot and your song of the day w/Muse on your Morning Monarchy for February 23, 2018.

It is a nasty thing to get political about matters that involve the loss of life of children. The United States, and indeed, many people from the rest of the world who observed the news of the horrific school massacre in Florida not two weeks ago, all are shocked and horrified.

I grew up as the child of a small Houma Indian community in south Louisiana. My father was a hunter, trapper and commercial fisherman so my early years were spent at his side observing and learning those life-ways. In our household a gun was just another tool with which we put food on the table.

(TIM) — On February 19th, CNN host Chris Cuomo retweeted an article, written by Cody Davis and published by The Tab, which bore the headline “I was able to buy an AR-15 in five minutes.” In the 2-year-old article, Davis described a visit to a Virginia gun shop. He wrote that he approached an employee for assistance in picking […]

Leave it to “Schiff for brains” Adam Schiff, Democratic congressman from California, to find the Kremlin’s hand behind another of America’s woes.
He is one of the prime drivers of the “Russiagate” investigation into alleged Russian meddling into the US political system, using his position as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Now Schiff says Russian bots on Facebook have been promoting the Second Amendment to the US constitution – the one which guarantees Americans the right to “keep and bear arms.”
