Volume Four: Number Forty-Six


Armistice Day
Frank Boggs
(1918)

Trust
With the recent nationally publicized shootings in California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Texas, Florida, and ... friends and family are advocating for certain restrictions on our rights. They are suggesting, as you know, the same things as the anti-gun anti-freedom party, such as banning so-called assault rifles, magazine restrictions, enacting Red Flag laws, and many others.

Of course, ...

Their views are going about as well as wearing a Sherman button to a Georgian picnic. Ha, ha, ha!

Needless to say, ... This has gotten me to thinking about our relationships and trust.

Take our government, do you trust the elected and unelected officials in our government?

If you don't, like me, then you view gun control as the beginning steps of enslaving our citizens. The same views as our country's founders.

Additionally, ...

That's something I've also noticed. Folks that advocate for limiting our rights don't understand history. They have failed to understand how limiting ownership and carrying of arms emboldens tyrants.

Tyrants within their ranks.

Things You Might Want to Think About

307th
No, ... It's not that we have become numb to the shootings.

We have become numb to the calls for us to give up our rights.

Acosta
Ha, ha, ha. Who cares?

The dude still acted like an ass when the lady reached for the microphone

Be Careful
Yes, ... It will get worse.

Communism
Just in case, ...

Electoral College
Folks, the founders were thoughtful people. They set up our government to prevent the popular thoughts of our day; socialism, government supported welfare for corporations and individuals, gun-control, and much more; from destroying our country.

But, ...

The Democrats and some Republicans want to eliminate those guarantees.

Farming
Remember, ... It's all about how many calories you can grow!

The Future
It's here.

Well, ...

Almost here.

Gunman
Blah, blah, blah

Oooh, ...

No one else was armed!

Kittens and Puppies
Gross! Horrible! Insane! Loathsome!

Losers
Unlike our air and land forces, the U.S. Navy goes to war every time they leave port.

So, ...

It is good news to me that our Navy is again learning, there are two types of navies.

Mental Health
I love classic media.

They take a powerful message and turn it into a plea for socialized medicine

Obama
Yes, ... He sucked as President

Preparedness
You and your family live in the lush green forests of your state

Are you prepared for a wildfire? Really prepared?

Preparedness, Part Two
You're planning to evacuate, through the mountains.

Are you prepared for a winter storm? Really Prepared?

Slavery
I did a quick search.

Not one mention of the right of the people to bear arms

Tech
Still no privacy

Terrorism
All you need is an imagination

Underwear
I am at a loss for words.

Except, ...

Where were her parents?

Yakuza
Just another word for ... Crooks


Overheard

"But what it proves is that gun grabbers will use any tragedy to advance their agenda, regardless of the actual facts on the ground."

"This isn’t rocket science."

"If House Republicans had done more to change Washington and deliver on their campaign promises, they would still be in the majority."

"Many doubt she means it."

"They weren’t driven by a collector’s desire to hoard guns and accessories, but by raw fear."

"People love dead Jews. Living Jews, not so much."
