An idea
Bagdad — 250 people killed with a truck bomb by a suicide bomber. He couldn’t have done that with a gun. Maybe our country should outlaw trucks that can hold enough explosives to kill more than 10 people.

Just asking why
How is it this Admin can tell us there is no such thing as extreme Islamic Terrorists while they behead Christians? How is it this Admin thinks conservatives are more dangerous that ISIS? How is it Conservatives are racist, sexist, homophobes but the Muslim Religion who would put to death Homosexuals, Jews, and Christians, is a Religion of Peace. How is it Conservatives and guns are more dangerous than a man who shoots up an Orlando Bar while shouting allegiance to ISIS? How is it James Comey gives testimony in front of Congress that tells us this Admin is lying to us about the war on ISIS, completely contradicting the statements of President Obama? How is it this Admin is purging all reference to Islam from transcripts in the Orlando case? How is it that in a recent survey of Muslim Immigrants 50 percent think Sharia Law should be imposed here in America, (i.e. Banning Homosexuals, Jews and Christians), and you on the left think by allowing unfettered immigration by Muslims is OK, forever changing America as we know it today! Sharia Law has taken a foothold in Dearborn, Michigan!
So why would homosexuals, Jews and Christians vote Democrat, when this administration has lead us down a path of unreality? This Admin allowed ISIS to gain a foothold in the world due to it’s failed policy in Iraq but not in Afghanistan. By not doing everything possible to help Iraq repel ISIS from the start this Admin has put the World in peril (i.e. the terrorists attacks in Belgium, France, the USA and elsewhere).
And how is it this Admin puts out narratives that are not true, (i.e. Benghazi and a movie and now Orlando by retracting any mention of Muslim Terrorists), then a day later retracting that. The question still remains today, where was HRC and President Obama during the Benghazi slaughter.
Just like Al Gores lies about global warming that have been proven to be wrong! And I mean proven! Bet me!
And how is it when Hillary broke the law she will not be brought before a court of law? Words cannot explain the statement. And you Democrats made Donald Trump.
And why is it the lie of DDT has finally come to light, findings by 350 scientists? Bet me!
I have been in farming most of my life. Every morning when I got up I had to deal with what mother nature dealt me. It made me a realist and it had noting to do with political correct views or micro aggression. Most of you on the left had unions to shield you from everyday changes not reality. You are the lemmings of the far left liberal media. If you don’t wake up in the morning and have a chip on your shoulder, you might be a winner not a whiner!
And by the way, even Rush Limbaugh says progressive liberalism is a mental disorder, as does most right wing radio.

Sorry times
I have been around for a long time and have seen many strange and sometimes ridiculous things that our government has done.
I have always had a high respect for our federal FBI officers and the judicial system. What has just happened with the Hillary Clinton mess, my opinion of these offices has dropped to zero. Can you imagine after what all these so called politicians have done, the Clintons are still in a position of power in our country. Bill would be back in the white house and the interns had better watch out. I hate to see what their liberal ideas will do to the future of the young people in the USA.
Look at the mess we have in the white house today, it’s disgusting. The republican have to get their act together. They have been a majority in both houses for 3 and a half years and have done nothing sacred of a veto. Get to work republicans. Sad!

Slow down
I feel it’s time to speak up on something I’ve noticed is getting progressively worse. SPEEDING!
I travel the streets, roads and highways of Lake County as well as Northern California in general, on a regular basis. The speed limit is completely ignored in most places I’ve been. If I travel at the speed limit on a two lane highway, you would think that I am breaking the law! People ride my bumper, I’ve been cursed at, flipped the bird, just about run off the roadway and threatened with bodily harm for NOT speeding.
When it’s safe to do so, I pull over and let people pass because I understand that I do not know why another driver needs to speed, but I also know just how dangerous it is to be tailgated at 55 — 60 mph. Do we need to reconsider our speed limit laws?
Due to all of the accidents (quite a few, deadly) I’ve seen and read about on our highways, I don’t feel up-ing the speed limit is the best choice. Does anyone get in their car and think “I’ll go out and speed today, take a life or two and possibly my own?” Do people realize that a vehicle is a deadly weapon when it’s abused? Driving is a privilege and should be treated as such.
Being in a rush all of the time causes stress, stress on the road will usually lead to road rage and road rage for the most part leads to harm. We after all are human beings and should practice humanity towards one another. Learn to leave earlier, plan your time better, slow down and arrive where you’re going safely.
Or If you’re willing to pay for my speeding ticket and insurance, I will gladly speed up!
