      Undoing the Brainwashing

      Thomas Sowell you are a personal hero of mine. Yours is the voice of reason when insane political correctness seems to rule the day. Thank you sir for telling the truth and exposing the “liberal” lie.

      Well, go figure. The Police Chief in liberal Longhorn land supports further infringement of our rights. I bet the College Station Chief has a different opinion. That’s why I support the Aggies.

      paphos car hire consists of two areas, Kato paphos car hire and
      the 2011 military base explosion that brought the crowds but still with all the recommendations you would want.

      My Take on the Ammunition Shortage

      Was at a Lorain, Ohio Walmart yesterday and the ammo shelves were almost bare.
      Just some odd-ball rounds no one wanted and stuff that can’t be shot in Ohio, not even for deer hunting.
