Supreme Court

Carry on

Today I was reflecting on the U.S. Appeals court conceding that the 2nd Amendment allows for the open carrying of a gun, it felt like a victory, kind of sort of like one. Well honestly more like a re-affirmation of obviousness than a victory, but still it wasn’t a defeat. Or was it?

Federalist Papers

What are The Federalist Papers? Who wrote them?

I’ve been writing about The Federalist Papers on the internet for 20 years.  I feel that it is important the readers know my qualifications.   I never planned on studying and writing about The Federalist Papers and the US Constitution.   My plan was to teach finance.  However, God had a different plan for me.

Extreme is the new normal

I have dug myself into some Facebook trenches on a number of occasions and exchanged fire with the enemy. And it went awesome! I didn’t even call someone a nazi. But seriously, did I change anything?
