Development -- Envelopment -- Encroachment -- Resentment

Dear Editor,

                The top executive level of the National Rifle Association has had it quite easy during the last twenty five years.  No one has asked them any of the hard questions.

                For a 501(c)3 Charitable organization that claims to provide gun safety and educational projects of benefit to the general public and reportedly benefit a variety of American constituencies, including youths, women, hunters, competitive shooters, gun collectors, law enforcement agents and persons with physical disabilities what impact have they had in your life?

The Indignification of America 

Dear Editor,

With the 50th observance of Earth Day on April 22nd, each of us can contribute by reducing our driving, use of electric energy, and consumption of animals.

Yes, that. Last Fall Oxford University's prestigious Food Climate Research Network and Germany's Heinrich Bolle Foundation concluded that solving the global warming catastrophe requires massive shift to a plant-based diet. A 2010 United Nations report blamed animal agriculture for 70% of global freshwater use, 38% of land use, and 19% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Cats That Play Musical Instruments

Miles Davis was one cool cat.  Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller ...the list goes on ...they are all musicians who have earned the “cool cat” accolade.

President's Action Not Constitutional

 
I like what Trump has done so far as President... but, the strikes in Syria are an act of war, which only the US Congress has the authority to declare. No vital US interests were imminently threatened, which is the only time a President may take such action.

I’d like to provide the following statement from Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, America’s leading farm animal protection organization, regarding the pigs involved in the overturned truck accident that happened on Friday on state Route 20 in Iron County, Utah:

Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2018

In my view, the State of California is guilty of sedition against the United States to rival that of southern states that instigated the civil war. Jerry Brown is the democrat Jefferson Davis incarnate exploiting more low-cost, loyal, imported laborers..

Sincerely,

Michael W. Jarvis

  No sooner did Donald Trump announce that he wanted to pull US troops out of Syria, then there was another chemical attack.  We believe that this was done as a false flag by the Deep State and its allies intent upon its own agenda.  We urge you to ponder this carefully, so that Trump will not be forced to involve us in Syria even further.  We are already there illegally.  That is important to bear in mind.
