ODE TO ADMIRAL YAMAMOTO

ষThe Japanese Admiral was amazed after the Pearl Harbor attack, when it was so successful, had he considered an invasion of our homeland. The Admiral had served as a liaison officer in Washington for the Japanese Government prior to the war, spending many a happy evening play cards with America military personnel and establish friendships around Washington. He knew the American mentality.
        When asked after the initial Pear attack if he would consider invading America he said, no, he would not. Some of his Samurai staff pressed him for a reason.
         He said, " Behind every door in America there is a gun. If we invade, when we knock on those doors, we will lose one soldier for every door we approach. We cannot sustain that kind of loss."
         To my mind, there are one or two other countries in the world that mandate required ownership of firearms - Switzerland being one. Mandatory military service for every one involves rifle training. After mustering out, they take the gun home, and keep it there.
         A recent movie release here entitled "Miss Sloane" is another attempt at brain washing those Americans ignorant of 1) reality, and 2) the Bill of Rights. Those of us who would try to talk us out of firearms use the argument: " Why do you need a ____?" 
        My answer is always the same - I don't have to explain it, it is MY RIGHT,
under our Constitution, same as free speech, same as not being arrested for stupid stuff, same as worshipping in the church of my choice. It is my choice, my right.
         And, I will NOT throw any of those rights away. And, no president, no supreme court is going to take any of those rights away. Why, you say?
         Admiral Yamamoto knows.

Hello Europe, if you are reading this, we're scared, too.

If you're someplace else other than America, and reading this, you're probably thinking, our country has lost their mind.
      You very close to being right. Since the election of Donald Trump, if you believe our press, you might assume Bernard - the - Butcher, pillager and rapist, gun happy madman has been swept into office,
      The startling truth is this: we as a country have been shifting further and further towards Socialism, the kind that has poisoned the economy of Venezuela and Greece. ]
The other candidate was hand picked to carry on that same tradition, and most of us knew it.
      The " evil " Donald Trump runs a real estate company building resorts, business office buildings around the world and negotiating business deals to expand various economies. That's it. That's all he does.
\     Taxes in our country are so high, the highest in the WORLD, he wanted to do something about it. He did, he ran for president, and got it. Now, he will change things to make our businesses more competitive with the world.
      The candidate who lost has lapsed into a state of hysteria, her supporters had no idea she would lose, and the outbursts of anger, surprise and violence are reminiscent of riots in third world countries, NOT AMERICA, as most of us have known it.
      A lot of us, born into tradition here are concerned, fearful, angry, AND ARMED.
It will be some time before we gain control of the society, the populace, and can feel safe again.
      I wanted those of you outside our country who read this to know the temperature of some of the American Citizens - the traditionalists, at this moment. Not everyone have lost their heads.
