For those of you who believe in prayer, please say a special one for the victims and their families that were involved in the tragic shooting in Dallas, Texas.

Our country continues to be divided by racial issues....real racial issues. Our illustrious President is using this as a platform for gun control. I'm not surprised.

Both Presidential candidates have made their respective and totally expected statements.

Our country needs to heal, but it isn't happening. Divisions are growing to cavernous proportions, and little is being done to stop it.

David Brown, chief of Dallas police, made a statement this morning. I haven't been so impressed by a "statement" in a long long time. It appeared to me that he has a real understanding of the issue, and a direction in which he needs to take his police force.

I wish we could all have his understanding of the racial divide.
