PRESS: Hypocrites, yellow journalism
Re: “Gun Fight Brewing Over Constitutional Carry” headline — There goes the Press again (!) “Saying” one thing, but “doing” another.
CARRY: Badge versus bulge
All in the law enforcement community have a right to express their various opinions regarding Permitless/Constitutional Carry; however no one has a right to change the facts in order to fit their opinion. Coeur d’A…
PREPARE: Need helpful advice
Richard Dance has promised the people of the Cd’A area a definitive guide on how to make it through a predicted natural disaster. However, Dance’s approach is far from helpful.
TRUMP: Good for one thing

BERNIE: He's got it right
This is what Bernie Sanders is trying to do for us.
WOMAN: Exhibits true strength
The strength of a woman should never be tested by a man lest he wish to display his foolishness and ignorance for all to see.
ROMNEY: Not to the rescue

ABORTION: A video challenge
The Democratic Party is on record as favoring abortion at any time up to birth by their support of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decisions. Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN who formerly performed abort…
