Adopt much?
Adopt much?
I’d just like to say how much I admire James Borden. I’m amazed at all he’s able to do, what with all the time he puts into spreading “the word” at his Lincoln Park ministry, along with caring for all the umpteen unwanted babies he’s adopted. Bless you.

Obama and handguns
President Obama’s position on handgun background checks, and his emotional drama regarding the slaughter of the innocent students at Sandy Hook, is deceptive given his history.
As commander-in-chief of the largest military infrastructure in the world, he’s spent his presidency slaughtering his share of innocents himself. Inconsistent for one who was awarded a peace prize, no?
He, too, has executed innocent U.S. citizens, by drones, who had never been charged, tried or convicted of a crime. Their only transgression was exercising their free speech rights.
Incomprehensible for one who taught constitutional law, no?
He’s even unapologetically strafed a civilian hospital, killing innocent patients and doctors without borders. And as tragic as the deaths at Sandy Hook were, their numbers pale in comparison to the countless numbers he, and his proxy troops, continue to rack up in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Benghazi and Gaza.
All lives matter, Mr. President. Where are your tears for them?
Who would have thought to do a background check on Barry of Punahou prior to giving him access to those weapons?
Would it have changed the course of history, or saved innocent lives? Will background checks for handguns?
