We need to have honesty in the FBI.

Hooray for Sweden! American naturalization rules are supposed to stop those who enter illegally from becoming citizens, and they should be enforced, but Biden's minions are likely looking the other way. Sweden, like all of Europe, also rejects the concept of citizenship by mere birth in the country. Citizenship by birth there is only given to births from Swedish citizen parents. That is the way it should be here as well.

But first it is critical to carefully convey a point worth making.

Thank-you Country Girl. I am blessed to have been led unto the light as a child just as I assume you were as well.

Sometimes, I believe Jesus would rather usher us into a frame of mind to see the World through the clear eyes of a child.

Now that's a word salad!

Lt. Governor Mark Robinson keeping his mouth shut on casinos while other candidates for governor were actively opposing them is the latest disappointment from Mark. When he wants to assert himself on something, the Lt. Gov. has quite an ability to make himself heard, but on too many issues important to conservatives he has been missing in action. This is the latest, and follows his failure to engage on Obamacare Medicaid expansion, and on the Green New Deal. I am aware he was briefed in detail on the latter by conservative experts on the subject but still chose not to get involved. As presiding officer of the Senate, he could be a strong voice for conservative causes but for some reason on a great many of them has chosen to stay silent.

I was a big fan of Robinson when he ran for Lt. Governor but the luster has worn off. I am now looking at State Treasurer Dale Folwell, a conservative who actually engages, and usually engages succesfully on key issues, as the best of the field for governor.

One other huge blunder that has concerned me about Mark Robinson is his lack of political savvy. Two years ago, we had a conservative former legislator gearing up to take on establishment liberal Sen. Jim Perry in the primary. Out of the blue, Mark Robinson endorsed Perry, which the team working on the primary decided made it a lot more difficult to expose Perry's liberal record, and the effort was shelved. If Robinson made that bad endorsement without checking the lay of the land in the district, it was a reckless and stupid move. If he knew that there was a conservative effort afoot to challenge Perry, and chose to stand with the more liberal candidate, that would also be concerning. Either way, it opened the eyes to a number of conservatives in the area that maybe Robinson was not ready for prime time.

Well Big Bob, get use to it. The government will always be involved in all situations when living things die, especially the ones that bleed.

Oh, and as a man of conviction first, I will never learn the 2022 lesson you speak of.

None of that is true.
