OK, let's just jump into it. Politics.  Russia and the uranium Dems sold them is despicable.  Russia is an historic adversary.  Obama and Hillary sold them 20% of America's uranium.  Terrile.

Welcome this is a blog about current events, politics, issues, as seen through the eyes of a late stage Gen-X'er

This blog will showcase my editorialization of issues of all types, political, cultural, financial. No topic will be taboo, nothing will be verboten, but on occasion, I may omit points.  However, they'll merely be a points of prerogative or incidental oversights.

OK, Las Vegas shooting. I'm reading that the Democrats are trying to pass bills eroding the 2nd Amendment, let me elucidate you as to how that's problematic: The second amendment is a safeguard of the rights of We the People against them the Government.  Sure, once upon a time we had 3 coequal branches of government, providing checks on each other. But with the legislature abdicating responsibility to the executive that systemic balance is in serious jeopardy.

Whereas the 1st amendment safeguards the citizenry's right to speak against the government, the 2nd amendment protects those rights from usurpation by a concentrated federal government.

Government has a monopoly on the right to use force, all the way from the national military right down to the local beat cop, which was never how the Constitution was intended; id est, 'The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.'  Not shouldn't be infringed, but shall not.  There is no rhetorical wiggle room.
