Some notes

I will be offline a bit. In addition to starting a new (awesome) job, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer just a couple months ago (missed by the docs for over a year).

She passed away Monday. We'll have a small, private ceremony in the near future.


Thank you, and be nice to each other

Unhappy

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom John My condolences to you and your family.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Sorry, John. I know you must be frustrated, too… they missed my grandfather’s stage 4 prostate cancer so I can relate to some extent. Wishing you and your family peace. All the best - Rob

Yeh. Sorry to hear on your grandfather. I get this Rob, when someone know something is wrong and the hospital says its normal "lose weight and eat your vegetables" but completely misses the problem.
