"A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty."—James Madison
America is a ticking time bomb.
All that remains to be seen is who—or what—will set fire to the fuse.

The preparations for the Republican and Democratic national conventions taking place in Cleveland and Philadelphia—augmented by a
$50 million federal security grant for each city—provide a foretaste of how the government plans to deal with any individual or group that steps out of line: they will be censored, silenced, spied on, caged,
intimidated, interrogated, investigated, recorded, tracked, labeled, held at gunpoint, detained, restrained, arrested, tried and found guilty.
Comment: This incident happened in the parking lot of the sports complex. The three had shotgun wounds. The police are not looking for additional suspects, indicating one victim's fatal wound was self-inflicted.
