I haven't been super active on this forum recently (nothing major, just personal/life stuff taking precedent) but I plan on watching the debate and hopefully be commenting on here with the rest of you.
That said, the commentary will be ad hominin attacks and nothing of substance will be...
Right on cue after the Supreme Court decision. I can see it now: "See the Court didn't go far enough! We need extreme risk protection orders beyond domestic violence offenses!"
My (admittedly limited) understanding is that Iran is doing this because of internal politics. Yeah, they don't like Israel, but they really don't like getting bombed. They're sending in a limited engagement to show their people and hardliners that they're "doing something" but aren't really...
First gun in a while and my first Walther! Wasn't looking to get it but it was on sale for a good price at the FFL and thought "You know, I can be a secret agent too. All I need to do is lose weight, get mad training, and maybe become a decade younger. But I could totally do it. Besides, James...
Anyone who's read 1984 knows that perhaps the biggest problem that Orwell had (besides the mass surveillance) was the "Party's" coopting of language. Newspeak and Doublespeak anyone? That's exactly what the Left is doing today.
In NYS the only legal way you can remove squatters from a premises is through a summary proceeding (basically an eviction). Now, technically it should be easy to prove when you go to court (no lease, rental agreement, etc.) but with some you never know what some liberal activist judges will do...
This happened to a friend of mine. I forget the whole story but his girlfriend's family owned a house in Virginia I believe. Long story short, parents died and the house was empty while they were settling the estate and was so for some time. Come to find out that a family of illegals (Guatemala...
This was actually a really good (imo) position paper on the topic. Why we are where we are with the issue and steps to help stop it.
An Immigration Crisis Beyond Imagining
TLDR:
There are two essential steps we must take to begin to solve the border crisis:
Enforce current immigration...
I get where you're coming from but in this case these parents were, in my opinion, INCREDIBLY negligent.
1) Knew the kid had issues
2) Bought a gun and gifted it to the kid/didn't store it safely
3) School called parents several times with concerns
4) I believe day of the shooting they asked...
It ain't just the UK. Other counties (I believe Poland and Finland) have said similar things. The cynic in me says this is just a push to get more funding for the military-industrial complex.
Far-right extremism is thriving in rural areas. Here's what it looks like in Upstate NY
All right, which one of you "election-denying, right-wing extremists" is spreading all this "hate" in the North Country?
First it was the Dutch farmers. While I believe they got shutdown they have a new prime minister who is supportive. Hopefully the same happens in Germany and all over Europe.
Starving people in the name of the climate emergency seems counterproductive if you ask me. Then again it's all part of...
I learned earlier this week that my local school district has a special closet where kids who are "non-binary/gender nonconforming/trans" can change into clothes that more appropriately reflect their gender identity. All without parental knowledge of course.
Little Trump's are popping up all over the world I see. I wish Argentina the best but I can't help but think the deep state is going to ruin him just they do to anyone who wants meaningful change here.
No one should feel bad for this guy. Every action he's taken his adult life has been done to position himself for the NYC Mayor's Office. He's reaping what he's sown. Too bad he's running the City into the ground fiscally.
Don't you love how they protect the most degenerate people until they're not needed anymore? Then all of a sudden the gloves come off and its off to the races. I don't know why anyone would think they can get away with that crap nor do I understand why anyone would want to go above a local-level...
Perhaps, but that's the legislature. In the states where they were ballot initiatives Pro-Choice overwhelming one. This was true everywhere including red states.
Coming to this thread late I know, but here's my take.
The Dobbs decision fucked us. I mean REALLY fucked us. Many people who would've otherwise sat this one out came out to vote for abortion rights. The hardcore religious faction of the GOP has been chasing its tale for decades ever since Roe...
