The Trump Card
by Lenny Leatherman, January 30, 2020
One of President Trump’s goals from the beginning of his Presidential campaign was to “build the wall and make Mexico pay for it”.
I believe he is well on his way to meeting that goal!
By orchestrating the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and by applying unrelenting pressure on the Mexican Government to stop the flow of illegal aliens through Mexico to the US, taxpayers will no longer be burdened with the future cost of supporting the thousands of illegal aliens and their dependents for life thereby saving billions of dollars more than the one-time cost to ‘build the wall’.
The Armed Citizen
by NRA Staff – Friday, January 24, 2020
A Chicago man, 30, was leaving a business Dec. 1 at 4:45 p.m. when two men approached, at least one of whom was armed. With his handgun drawn, the one suspect allegedly demanded that the man hand over his property. Instead, the armed citizen, who has a valid concealed-carry license, drew his own handgun and fired at the armed man, who fled on foot with his accomplice. No arrests were made, and the suspects were still at large, according to Chicago Police. (Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago, Ill., 12/2/2019)

Despite living on the same street as a police department, a South Carolina man was forced to rely on his Second Amendment right to defend himself one Tuesday night. When two men charged into his house, the homeowner was forced to think quickly. Being armed, he produced his firearm, and used it to fight back against his attackers. One intruder died at the scene, while another was found wounded at a McDonald’s about a mile away. (wjcl.com, Hampton, S.C., 4/25/19)

Americans Bought 13.9 Million Firearms in 2019
AmericanRifleman.org, by Guy J. Sagi – Tuesday, January 7, 2020
The number of NICS background checks conducted by the FBI in 2019 came in at 28,369,750, the highest mark since the agency began the program in 1998. After an adjustment for the volume of concealed-carry permit applications, renewals and other administrative use of the system, Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF) estimates the figure reflects total firearm sales of 13.9 million firearms last year.
“Faith and reason are mutually reinforcing”
Hillsdale College – Imprimis, • Volume 48, Number 11
Clarence Thomas
Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court
Hillsdale College held a dedication ceremony for its new Christ Chapel on October 3, 2019, during a two-day gala to celebrate the College’s 175th anniversary. The following are excerpts from the dedication address. A video of the dedication ceremony may be viewed online at fourpillars.hillsdale.edu.
This is a very special occasion—the 175th anniversary of Hillsdale and the dedication of Christ Chapel. This beautiful Chapel is a culmination of years of generosity, planning, and hard work. And the end result is at once stunning and glorious.
The Chapel’s enduring beauty highlights the transcendence, the sovereignty, and the grace of God. It truly illustrates how architectural design can reflect the character of God and evoke a sense of reverence for His majesty.
Libertarian files for Parker County sheriff
Another candidate has filed in the race for Parker County sheriff and Russell Hess, 48, Libertarian, said he has a plan to bring the county together and save taxpayer dollars.
Hess filed on Nov. 18 and has been self-employed for the majority of his life.
“I grew up in Ranger, Texas, went to school there, and then I moved around when I was about 18-19 — my dad and I went into the convenience store business. I was in the convenience store business for several years, I think from 1990 to 2000,” Hess said. “I’ve been self-employed my whole life. I got into the shipping container business and have been doing that ever since 2000 and I’ve had a gun store for two or three years, so that’s pretty much what I’m doing now.”
Healthcare assistants back nursing home minimum staffing proposal
Danielle Brown, December 1, 2019
The National Association of Health Care Assistants is supporting a legislative proposal that would implement minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes. Nursing home providers have criticized the proposed bill.
The organization last week disclosed its support of the Quality Care for Nursing Home Residents Act (S.2943), which was introduced by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) in November. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) also introduced the proposal (H.R. 5216) in the House.
Sheriff’s Tips: The Good Samaritan
American Rifleman, by Jim Wilson, November 25, 2019
When I have the time, and weather permits, I like to go for a walk and get a little exercise. In my little town, it is the rare day that two or three people don’t stop and ask if I need a ride. Quite a bit of America is still that way—taking the time to help others. However, a person needs to keep in mind that there is a darker element in our society and the helpful citizen can quickly become just another victim.
Recently, in a force-on-force scenario, a student, who happened to be an EMT, saw a young woman lying crumpled by the side of a path. He rushed to her side to render aid only to see her roll over and run a rubber knife across his throat. In the debriefing, he told the instructor that he was an EMT and just had to render aid. The instructor told him that he used to be an EMT—now he was just a dead man.
Corrupt, Criminal Socialism
By Joseph D. Leatherwood
I am very concerned about the depth and level of corruption in our government. Arguably, it is at the heart of our government’s inability to deal with the very serious problems this nation faces from immigration to dealing with sanctuary cities (crime) to the drug epidemic.
Forthrightly, the current state of affairs is destroying this nation internally through a pronounced wearing away of the nation’s belief in its government and gnawing away at its institutions.
Corrupt, criminal socialists have seized our government and over the years have transformed it into an Administrative State, a Servile State where we are its servants. They inhabit political offices and every bureaucracy of the State and they believe it is their right to (1) rule over us and (2) run government as they wish. This arrogance emanates from their’ believe they are infinitely more superior to the American people and know better how things should be run than through some quaint idea like “…the consent of the governed.” This is the swamp and its attitude.
Starting in 2010 (thanks to the Tea Party), We the People knew our government had run amuck, we knew it was (and is) broke and we went about trying to correct it. By 2016, we elected a fighter to go to Washington with a mandate to drain the swamp. With that mandate in hand, they came unglued.
