Kentucky

Yet, another mass shooting in America, where several young students were shot and at least two killed, and the proliferation of military-grade assault weapons in America goes on and on.  Don't know exactly what kind of gun was used in Kentucky, but these mass shootings are sad and maddening; yet, America's politicians do absolutely nothing about the proliferation of the particular military-grade assault weapons used in the overall mayhem, and that serve no useful purpose in civilian hands. 

There have been at least a dozen mass shootings in America just this January.  This is no way for a country to conduct itself; that is, to do pretty much nothing to stop the coast-to-coast mayhem, with the exception of a relative handful of organizations, individuals, and even a few politicians, who are going against the grain.

Our sympathy to the Kentuckian parents of the slain students, the Holt and Cope families, and to the wounded students and their families.  This tragedy is completely outrageous; another chapter in the weight of sorrows of our nation.  May God be with the families of Bailey and Preston, the other families affected, and the injured victims in their  recovery.

Two Tragedies: Our Nation's Loss

The murderous attacks in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Lafayette, Louisiana this month were horrifying and another reminder that our nation must continue to be on guard against domestic and foreign foes in these troubled times, and regarding the Chattanooga attacks in which several servicemen were killed, just one more reason to become nationally inward without being out-and-out isolationist, including pretty much folding up the international welcome mat that the feckless Congress's policies have promulgated.  This political party (P.O.C.) extends our condolences and sympathy to all of the families of the victims, including the injured, in both states, and pray for the very quick recovery of the injured. Yet, another loss for a nation weary of war, but inevitably prepared to defend and to be "Always Faithful," the Marine Corps' motto.
