Lynn is NO lefty. Younger folks do not REALize that CNN used to be the ONLY cable news worth a hoot. It had great stuff (Chris Curl and her husband Don Farmer) etc. Great stuff. Then as owner Ted Turner succumbed to wifey Hanoi Jane Fonda, it started left in a hurry, and FOX showed up, but now FOX is heading let fast: Geraldo, Shep, Chris Wallace, on and on, and they fired Sarah - sickening.

“Their good luck they didn’t toe the liberal line.”

I think they were allowed some leeway because they were no longer employed by Commie News Network.

"...De Caro said he called upon his special forces training in the moment, and insisted there was “no way” he would’ve let the gunman harm his wife. “I was determined to save my dream girl’s life — even if it cost my own,” he told The Post, adding that his injuries “hurt like hell.”

Cops say the shooting was justified.

“The police had to stay with him, keep me from going over to that man’s body and kicking the s–t out of him,” Russell said....."

I’d say be prepped at most hotels, but like you, I wondered about that as well.

Gotta admit I passed on a Motel 6 on the edge of Tulsa one night. Didn’t look like the safest area.

Both retirement age. Both carrying handguns. (He had special forces training.) Maybe just exhausted from too long a drive and didn’t pay attention to the location.
