find myself more shaken and stricken after last week’s latest mass shooting – the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, that saw 19 children and two teachers slain in cold blood – than I did after other mass shootings in recent years. I

Two more days, and the classrooms would have been empty. Parents would be at home, going over lists for summer camp or rubbing sunblock on those small faces at the pool.

Last June, the Biden administration unveiled its “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.” Despite its anodyne-sounding name, the “National Strategy” was anything but anodyne. The pamphlet represented the culmination of the Left’s cynical use of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as a means of ginning up large-scale, nationwide anti-Republican/ anti-Trump voter sentiment. The result, evinced again by Attorney General Merrick Garland’s disgraceful October 2021 memo directing the FBI to intrude on local school board meetings and crack down on anti-critical race theory parent revolts, has been a roiling cold war waged by the ruling class against us “deplorables.”

The fabric of our nation is being ripped apart by “systemic lying.” Those who work tirelessly to “fundamentally transform America” into a socialist utopia use “systemic lying” as an important tool in their tool chest. “Systemic lying” is being perpetuated by individuals, major media outlets, educational institutions, companies, politicians and others.

Let me ask, “Do you have a RIP folder?” We all should have a RIP folder. Well, Katherine Mezger left this earth on May 6, and she had her own original RIP folder.

The World Health Organization – an arm of the United Nations – is poised to make a huge power grab, and the Biden Administration is only too willing to help. At stake is United States sovereignty in health-care decisions, particularly pandemic responses.

First, “Thank you” to the Lampasas Independent School District Board of Trustees for joining the Lampasas County commissioners in voting against offering tax incentives to the 1,500-acre solar panel array proposed for the county. A number of concerns -- including economic, environmental, ecological, job creation, and long-term regulatory and technological changes -- support your decisions.

To an archeologist, every ruin and every “artifact” found on Earth would be considered an object built by some man or some woman. He or she would never think of it as having been built by unintelligent forces.

In the aftermath of a leaked Supreme Court draft majority decision prospectively overruling Roe v. Wade, the Left in the United States has gone into full-fledged panic mode. That outsized panic has manifested as a variety of unconvincing or blatantly immoral arguments: the argument that abortion is a necessary adjunct to women’s freedom -- as though contraception doesn’t exist, and as though women are never responsible for their own sexual decisions and the consequences thereof; the argument that unless society provides for any number of government programs, abortion should not be prohibited -- as though the solution to lack of universal child care is the death of the child; the argument that conservatives will next attempt to outlaw interracial marriage -- an absurd slander on its face.

There’s virtual anarchy on our southern border -- costing U.S. servicemen their lives -- and what is Homeland Security’s priority? Policing free speech.
