Would You Buy a Used AR-15 from This US Senator?

Posted on May 11, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Ted Cruz (December 22, 1970) Honestly, I feel a little embarrassed that this man was born in Canada. Although he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014, Texas citizens (who obviously don’t appreciate him) still refer to him as that Canadian. … Continue reading →

Posted on April 5, 2022 by cdsmiller17

When Bonnie Met Clyde, a Legend was Reborn

Posted on September 30, 2020 by cdsmiller17

Bonnie Parker (1910-1934) and Clyde Barrow (1909-1934) I must confess to a certain fascination for this couple. Although I have no intention of glamorizing violence, they do seem like Robin Hood and Maid Marian reborn into the 20th century. Their … Continue reading →
