Two mass shootings the same day: one in El Paso, Texas, a mile from where I once lived, and one in Dayton, Ohio.

The Texas killer seems to have harbored racial hatred for many years, including during President Barack Obama’s reign. He was also an environmental leftist.

The Ohio murderer was a flaming liberal all the way. His documented, wholehearted support for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Antifa and socialism have somehow been overlooked by the national media. He even referred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility fire bomber as a martyr.

Call me naive, but somehow the Democrats connecting President Donald Trump to these two left-wing maniacs escapes me.

Read the New Testament. Jesus hated hypocrisy.

As expected, Democrats are now wailing for gun control. For some weird reason, the left can’t comprehend the necessity of a human finger being attached to a trigger to cause damage.

Conservatives have known for decades that the leftists are socialist at heart. It’s only surfaced recently, with young Democrats “spilling the beans.” You’re also hearing condemnation against the right for being “nationalist.” Globalists, the left, are looking forward to a “one-world order.”

Our Second Amendment is a huge fly in that particular vat of ointment. Worldwide, the U.S. is basically the only loose cannon left on the deck, having free ownership of guns. The guns and our borders must be removed for a coming “one-world government.”

Some want “red flag” laws. Unless perfectly written, a lot of good people would be badly hurt. Ex-spouses and personal enemies, including business, political and family squabbles, can unfortunately cost honest citizens their rights. These laws are extremely dangerous.

Remember what Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said after World War II. He refused to invade the U.S. mainland due to “armed citizens.”
