Bless you, Dr. Billy Graham, for your service to our Lord. You consistently stayed on you message of salvation and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ. May you rest in glory.

Trump is now harping on arming teachers. Says to give a bonus to those that choose to carry. “Bonus,” another word for combat pay.

There were numerous school shootings during eight years of Obama, but nothing was done about it. The FBI was warned about the Florida school shooter but failed to investigate. Sheriff’s deputies waited outside while kids were being shot and now liberals want to blame Trump?

Let’s be realistic. A teacher or a guard with a handgun is not going to bring down an active shooter firing an AR 15. They will just get murdered along with everyone else.

Hey, keeping it real here. I don’t believe the Left and the Right’s going to be able to settle this with a pillow fight.

Children should be able to go to school without worrying that’s going to be the last time they see their parents.

Melania Trump’s parents have obtained green cards to come to America. That is chain migration, something Trump and the Republicans are trying to stop.

The NRA is not the bad guy. It’s the one who pulled the trigger.

The NRA over three decades ago was the one pushing for background checks. They wanted them stiffer and wanted mental health in there. Thirty-eight states do not report felony convictions o the background check database where they would be able to get a gun.

Back during the presidential campaign, everybody knew Trump campaign manager Manafort had ties with Russia. Why did Trump hire him?

All these killings that have been going on, they started when the Democrats took God out of everything.

Sounds like these know-it-all readers must be reading too much CNN. The weapon being used is a semi-automatic rifle, not a military rifle.

As a veteran, a former member of law enforcement, as a conservative and as an American, today I exercised my right to freedom and I joined the NRA.

The federal income tax rate came down starting Feb. 1. Why didn’t we see an increase in our Social Security check?

Just learned what baggy pants are saying. Boy, there are a lot of guys offering themselves up. Baggy Pants were a way to let incarcerated inmates know you were offering services.

It’s time for the Democrats and Republicans in this country to think about the America people and not about themselves with all this bickering and fighting up there. It’s not getting anything done.

It’s time for parents in this country to not be friends with their young uns. Teach them right from wrong. Teach them to be citizens.

A sheriff up in Ohio has come up with a good idea. Teach these teachers to carry guns and that solves the problem right there.

We have the most thoughtless golfers in the country. They throw cans, bottles, trash, etc on every fairway on the course. Every golf course I have played in Albany is full of litter. Why? Because we have a group of thoughtless pigs in this area.
