Good question.

I'm 73 and not feeling so well. For a while now I thought I might get lucky and live long enough to see this swamp drained by the great, tireless efforts of Donald J. Trump.

He has done more than anyone could have expected. But it is beginning to look like D.C. is going to be an eternal foul sewer loaded with mostly wicked, very damaged amoral human beings.

Life can be a little depressing, but then there are ......

.... to cheer us up.

More than half the battle is waking the public up to the fact that government is a necessary EVIL. It is not inherently "good," as the government would have you think. It is dishonest, duplicitous, heartless, and often wromg. It is lazy and incompetenet, and should be kept small as possible for many reasons.

This "checks and balances" thing is useless when all three branches are aligned in self-serving. Sure, they battle each other for power - power over the public.

Never lose sight that the courts are hostile to the right to keep and bear arms. That tells you all you need to know about how the ENTIRE government views the public. Us vs. them baby.
