Welcome back to another issue of Uncommon Sense. There is some solid content in this issue waiting for you to sink your teeth into.

Ever wonder what separates the winners for the losers? Much of the time it has to do with mindset. The Self-Development column touches on that in a way you will find helpful. Do check it out.

In the previous issue, (#314) The Elephant in the Room column explored a hypothetical mind-exercise regarding what I would think or do if I were a foreign terrorist against the backdrop of our open border. I continue to explore the open border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration. Fasten your seatbelt; this one’s not for the faint of heart.

In the From Ara’s Journal column, I reflect on the recent death of a friend, her funeral, and something her sister said during the eulogy.

A lively word awaits you in The World of Words column, so adopt it, use it, and embrace your own learnedness.

OK, let’s get started.
