Anyone planning on taking a day or two off to enjoy the fall colors and Indian summer weather had better do so quickly. So today after helping pour a slab I took a walk around the house. It was such a nice day that even though the sun was sinking quickly I ran down to [...]

Now that the CDC has made the case that their is no case for gun control Wayne LaPierre is reminding everyone of the phony “studies” from recent years. So are the earlier false studies now to blame for Britian’s total collapse? Were it so no one would put it on the front page because it [...]
