Why is it so hard to accept the fact that we are a nation that is the target of many other countries? A guy at the top is always needing to look over their shoulders. Our country needs to stay on alert and be ready to defend.

May 1st is approaching fast, and President Biden still is refusing to get our troops out of Afghanistan. He is breaking many hearts of loved ones who thought their loved one was coming home.

Yesterday, President Biden laid out his plan to get rid of guns. One of his starling comments was that no amendments of the Constitution are free from changing. He is going to use some more of his executive orders to make guns laws that no one will agree to.

I am impressed with our new Defense Secretary. As of today I feel he doing some good things. We will see.
