    Several years ago I read “Men In Black.” I loaned my copy out several times and bought several copies for people. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend this book.

    The Mark Levin Book I am assuming? Tried to read Liberty n Tyranny but meh. Reading a book called The Cartels by Don Winslow. Fiction but a lot of truth in it. Good read so far. I also like reading Connelly's Bosch series. They made that into a TV show on Amazon Prime and it is a great show to watch too.

    Got the Kindle version of MIB by Levin. Good read, lots of valid points about activist lawyer's in black robes ... not just SCOTUS.

    As one who has always been suspicious of the blurring of distinctions inherent in a US law school education, makes you question whether the framers were as forward looking as we hoped with our judiciary ...

    One thing always to remember is that our founding documents were a compromise. I think we did well but we certainly could have done better. Even some of the judicial issues mentioned in book were addressed at the founding but were not implemented, again due to compromise. Term limits for all parts of government would have helped immensely.

    For those interested in the book, yes it’s about judicial cases but it is actually a very easy and intriguing book.

    Good points ... the best compromise is where no one is completely happy.

    Compromise is overrated. Better to vanquish your enemy and hear the cries of their womenfolk. Yes, democrats are no longer those with an opposing viewpoint, they are the enemy. Statists RINOS are not to be ignored either.

    Okay, this thing has been sitting for a while.

    I recommend everyone read "One Ranger", by H. Joaquin Jackson. It's an interesting tale of the life of a Texas Ranger. He went on to act in movies and had quite the full life.
    https://www.amazon.com/One-Ranger-M...ords=One+Ranger&qid=1561483367&s=books&sr=1-1

    I just finished the sequel, "One Ranger Returns" and it was interesting, but not as gripping as the first book.
    Read both and let me know!

    H. Joaquin Jackson was an anti gun fleck of shit IMHO.

    Thanks to the new system in play, I see that "sharkey" has been banned.
    I guess I missed that...


    ETA: Either that, or I forgot, lol.

    So far it's worth the read.........not only the story of Jack Hinson, but a history of the war that runs parallel to he and his family's life.......exhaustively researched and well written, imho......

    I have read several of the Longmire Mystery novels by Craig Johnson. Some of you may have watched the Longmire show on A&E / Netflix, and its based on the books.
