PRE-EASTER BIKENET WEEKLY NEWS for March 29, 2018 Action is Hot and Heavy on the Two-Wheeled Front
American Patriot’s Over the years I have sadly witnessed our society falling apart and somewhat of a revolution in the United States. For many years, the decline of the mainstays of America has increased due to the continual, unrelenting beating from those who have nothing to do but complain instead of helping to make us an even better nation. We have heard screams from career politicians whose only real claim to fame is just that, being a politician. I have said in the past one of the things which bothers me was the attack in Benghazi almost six years…

American Patriot’s It is my opinion in this day and time if you attack or threaten to attack school children no matter what your age, you should be charged as an adult with an act of terrorism and what every state statues apply. Also, parents need to monitor and teach their children respect for all, which most do. It is those where the parents fail children and young adults who will become wayward and want the attention drawn to them by an act of violence or threats usually on a social media site. If the media would report the news…
