Glad you shared the book, Kabul. My daughter is Tyler’s neighbor and she and her family have done fundraising from lemonade stands with the kids to galas honoring and calling attention to this travesty. People are talking. Take heart.

Kelly. Good stuff. For some reason I thought about your name, “Against the Grain.” It hit me as kind of defeatist. The grain doesn’t change. Our side determines the grain, not crazed, degenerate leftists. How could this have happened? The media is owned by the left. But this is more. Right out of hell. It is so not natural. Not the real “grain.” Once we admit they are in setting what’s normal ,we lose a battle. We are right, they are wrong. That is not political closed mindedness. In this case, of course they are wrong! We must never stop fighting. We must be bold. Here’s a name that I was going to use. It’s all yours. “Pitchforks and Lanterns.” 😉

I appreciate the suggestion and thanks for taking time to comment. I chose Against the Grain not because I’m defeatist - hardly! - but I strive to provide different insights and takes on current events based on history and facts. I often find that my views align more closely with public opinion than most - hardely “against the grain” in that respect - but more focused on the antics of my first profession, “journalism,” which bears no semblance to the craft I once performed nearly 40 years ago.
