Look it up

"Plagiarism"? Not even close under the most strained definition. Did the national Democratic Party and much of the national media fail Journalism 101?

Lost in the carnage

Another officer shot. And another. And another. I think someone was saying something about police brutality, but I'm not sure. Hard to hear with all this gunfire.

Man with the answers

Make America Great ... and Safe ... and Respected .. and Working Again ... vote Trump.

Your world

I hope the Republican delegates in Cleveland feel safe knowing that protesters are allowed to carry firearms thanks to open carry laws that Republicans supported.

Their world

In an ideal liberal world, only criminals would carry guns.

Keeping my distance

I don’t want to be on any road that has a driverless car. This is all so crazy.

Weapons of choice

The terrorist attacks in France prove you don’t have to have guns to kill people.

This is no movie

Ronald Regan could not have solved the ISIS problems. He was an actor. They have scripts. ISIS is a real terror and is not scripted.

Safe and easy

This is simple enough that all of you can understand — when you are stopped by a police officer do what he/she says.

Don’t give them cause

I always get scared when the police stop me. Maybe you should start obeying the law.
