Time for Thorns

An independent view on life.

There are days for sunny morning walks in the garden, where dew-bejeweled roses release their fragrance on the light breeze.
These are not those days. These are days of harsh realities demanding sharp answers. This is now … time for thorns.

A Connecticut legislative  district goes GOP  for the first time in four decades,  and the AP doesn’t think it’s news.   That’s not really surprising,  since the winner blasted the state’s new,  extremely restrictive gun laws,  and that interferes with the MSM meme that anti-gun control candidates can’t win.    The gun control backlash is so severe that even the Democratic opponent said he wouldn’t have voted for those laws.
