Volume Four: Number Sixteen

Les Portes du Cimetière
Marc Chagall
(1917)

The Present
I like reading science fiction. It can, sometimes, give us a glimpse of the future.

The only problem, ...

This version of future looks like pretty dangerous and deadly.

Things You Might Want to Think About

10 PM
Repeat after me, ...

Nothing good happens after 10 pm

Agreement
I agree.

But, ...

Where were the Democratic lawmakers when former President Obama was spending millions on overseas trips?

Baseball Bats
Seriously, ... Mini-Baseball Bats

California
Look, some folks are saying the only way to win is to eliminate the Republicans.

Then, ...

They mention the Civil War, the bloodiest war in these United States' history.

Criminals
Let me see, ...

A 37 year old criminal breaks into a pensioner’s home. After a struggle, the 87 year old husband stops the criminal by stabbing him to death.

Then, ...

The other criminals are having a $125,000 funeral procession to tell everybody the criminals won't be intimidated.

Only in Sweden, Great Britain, California, Illinois (especially Chicago), and other places where the citizens are denied their rights to effective self defense does this work.

Fourth Generation
I appreciate what y'all are trying to do because a well organized protests will inform others of our cause

The only problem, ...

The classic mass media doesn't support our cause, so you're going to have to organize other voters, run candidates that support your cause, and ... get more people to purchase, shoot, and train with firearms.

Gettysburg
I had to almost cry laugh. A bunch of Democrats, the political party that enslaved millions, recited the Gettysburg Address, a speech dedicated to freedom for all people that the Democrats tried to prevent.

Ha, Ha, Ha
Wow, ... I wonder if she even realizes the insanity of what she is saying.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Again
I guess we can get rid of affirmative action because the 'People of Color' want their own spaces, now.

Irena Sendler
We Shall Never Forget

Until, ...

We stop teaching our children about these events

Journalists
Like gun owners, journalists have a place in my prayers because they guard our freedoms.

Yes, ... Even journalists at CNN

A Little Late
These United States' government deficit became a problem, about 20 trillion dollars ago.

Reload
Notice, we didn't hear a lot about this, so-called, mass shooting.

I guess the cute, foreign-born, vegetarian, liberal, fitness instructor didn't fit the narrative.

See Ya
Our country has problems.

However, ...

Compared to everywhere else, it's still paradise, for everyone.

Terrorists
May she burn in hell, like her victims.

Veterans
To me, it doesn't matter if a person is a veteran or not. They commit a crime, they do the time and pay the price.

In this case, he is a felon, so he goes home.

Worried
I'll be worried when China holds a naval drill off the coast of Virginia with two nuclear powered aircraft carriers and their battle groups.

Until then, ...

I'll be getting ready for the next World War


Overheard

"279,020 dead in 48 hours"

"Personally, I think the banks need to be broken up. Both Citi and Bank of Americans eagerly lapped up trillions of our tax dollars."

"There is no easy fix."

"As faithless as Republicans are, they should stress - and easily document - what's today's Democrats represent: An End to America. If Republicans candidates fail to doso, they will deseerve exactly ehat happens to them"

"... seven-year conflict that has killed at least half a million people."

" ... the party started to fracture as some liberal groups grew disenchanted with Cuomo's moderate record and his relationship with Republicans who control the state Senate."
