Memorial Day!

The summer of 1984 was the summer following my senior year in high school.  I was just 17 and had not determined any significant opinions about the world. Somehow I talked my parents into sending me to the Soviet Union and England for 2 weeks that summer.  Why?  My girlfriend was going, and it seemed like fun.   1984 was the heart of the cold war, and let's say we weren't necessarily friendly with the Soviet Union.  Also, at that time, Western culture had not made its way to the Soviet Union.  There were no Kentucky Fried Chickens or McDonalds.  Areas of the country were absolutely beautiful, especially around Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), and the ordinary citizens were very friendly.  We were treated better by the Soviet people than we were during our four days in England.  (I was actually spit at in London followed by a comment of "Dirty Americans!")   I recognized, even as a stupid 17 year old whose frontal lobe was not fully developed, the Soviet Union was nothing like the United States.    When we arrived home, I literally had the desire to kiss the ground.  It was then that I truly understood how special it is to live in America.     On this Memorial Day, we owe our greatest gratitude for all who gave their life in protecting this great country.       We are still doing transfers, let us know if we can help you!   Please feel free to forward this email or send others the link to subscribe.

What's Happening

How Russiagate Began With Obama’s Iran Deal Domestic Spying Campaign The answer is that Obama saw Flynn as a signal threat to his legacy, which was rooted in his July 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Flynn had said long before he signed on with the Trump campaign that it was a catastrophe to realign American interests with those of a terror state. Facts About the 2nd Amendment Everyone is horrified by the mass shootings in recent decades, but I am still surprised when a gun owner says “I support banning of assault weapons.” It’s important we get our facts and perspective straight and ask the right questions. Most groups define a “mass shooting” as four or more shot in a single incident. Over 90% of the mass-shootings in the US have been with a handgun, and have been gang related. Armed Citizen® Today A casual dice game in Hinds County, Miss. took a turn for the worse early on Saturday, April 7. As the game ended at 3 a.m., one of the participants got into his vehicle to leave, when a 16-year-old involved in the game approached the car.   Why Gun Rights Are Essential In a World of Uncertainty and Scarcity This sobering pill can be difficult for many people to swallow but that's reality. Evil exists in this world. Under the right circumstances, people can and will do unspeakable things to each other as any student of history or psychology will know. Those fortunate to live in gated communities and can afford armed security are often oblivious that most other people do not enjoy the same luxuries.
