I’ve watched with increasing dismay – even disgust – at the calls of extremists in the Democratic Party (specifically, the leftist wing that controls that party) to “defund” police departments across this country.

Living in Massachusetts can be, during winter, a challenge to say the least. It’s cold enough here to snow from about early November to early April.
