In a recent lengthy opinion dissertation in this publication, the author rather eloquently described the current mindset of the liberal Democratic party. The regurgitation of the repetitive talking points that have been formulated based upon biased information gathered from mainstream media, social media or Democratic politicians was well summarized. Are there issues plaguing this country and the world in general? Of course; any sane person would not disagree.

Derby High School students recently participated in a protest walkout regarding federally-mandated ICE enforcement activities. The anonymous organizer admitted that they were concerned with repercussions indicating they were most likely aware that school district policy would be violated. The right to protest is a fundamental principle that has been understood as a regress tool since the founding of the Republic. No American citizen should view it as otherwise.

Just like clockwork, the adage goes. Another tragic school shooting and the disaster siren for gun control blares from the left. We all deplore this type of insane criminal activity. However, let’s examine what is clearly a participating root cause for encouraging these mentally-challenged persons to take such actions.
