To the credit of the government and chief of police in the recent Ohio shooting, almost, if not all, law enforcement in the area had been activated and they had the perpetrator put out of action in a matter of seconds, thus limiting the number of victims.

In El Paso, it turns out that a man, who happened to be black, rushed into the shooting to rescue a number of children, at severe risk to his own life.  On August 6, Pat Campbell on his morning talk show played the audio from a TV interview of the gentleman by Andrew Cuomo.  The questions Cuomo asked him were ridiculous but his answers were intelligent. He professed his actions were driven by a strong belief in God and the importance of life.

At the baseball practice shooting, it was reported to be just by accident that there were two of the House security officers who were present who took out the Democrat supporter shooter with pistols (against his several rifles).  A congressman from Louisiana (name slipping my mind) received severe, possibly life-threatening, shots in his hip.  Happily, he has recovered and I have heard him on the radio recounting the experience.

As an aside, in further favor of an armed United States’ citizenry, reports came to me some years after the August 1945 Japanese surrender, that when our military went through their papers, which must have taken quite some time, they found that the “warlords” running the show had determined that there would be far too much loss of personnel and equipment to invade the United States (48 states then) because the population, that is all of us, was too heavily armed, and the invasion might even fail.  Note that was decided after for more than 10 years that the Japanese military had been successful in invading and capturing Korea, China (Rape of Nanking). And after December 7, 1941, Japan took the Philippines, Pacific islands, and one in the Alaska Peninsula and they had visions on Australia and New Zealand (those two because of the moving of their military by Great Britain to the war in Europe).  As a result, they had to depend on U.S. forces for defense against the expected Japanese invasion.  During a trip there in 2001, many of their older generations, and a few enlightened younger people,were still expressing gratitude to our U.S. citizens (in a group of 37) for their protection. They revere Gen. Douglas MacArthur as the commander who kept them free.

In afternoon of Aug. 15, a report came out that Israel had refused admission for two female members of our Congress.  Immediately, the sympathetic liberal media loudly began raving that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ‘become subservient to PRESDT-45″ as he had issued an instruction in a tweet.  Regardless of what the self-bragging “fact-check services” back that up with, it appears that there was no communication between the two on the issue.  In fact, it seems that the President was on his way to a rally in New Hampshire at the time.

Now it has been recorded that the two individuals have long been supporters of Muslim organizations such as Taliban and Iran to the point of stating that Israel should cease to exist. Actually, it has long been accepted that any nation-state has the right to accept or reject any person or persons for whatever reasons it might have.  Would that the United States would return to that principle for our own borders. Hopefully the current administration will maintain the course and step up the effort to protect our own borders and individual safety and security.  It seems to me that the nation of Israel has that right as well and should enforce it for its own protection from those who vehemently hate it and seek its demise.  The same could be said for us, since there are plenty already here who are actively seeking to destroy, internally, the representative republic given us at great personal cost in the late 1700s by the God-inspired founders.

Note the title “representative republic” rather than the term “democracy” used by most, if not all, of those seeking the changes.  A study of these documents makes it clear that the United States was never intended to be a “democracy” and, in fact, such was completely rejected.  Unfortunately for us, there already have been too many amendments to the Constitution that serve to dilute the God-given rights declared to be protected there. Note that the Declaration expressly states that rights are given by God and are to be protected by the government, not the other way around.  In fact, the government of the United States is the first and only such government in the history of the world.  It is now up to us to keep it that way by voting out next year those misguided individuals acting as a Fifth Column to bring an end to its founding type.
