Hi folks, One of many books, it would seem: The 1st Wave Of Post-Trump Books Arrives. And They Fight To Make Sense Of The Chaos : NPR Jerry Baumchen PS) Good luck with trying to make sense of the Trump years. Somethings are simply not possible.

It should be noted that the #1 way to slow population growth is to educate and empower women. Two of the charities I contribute to (Tostan and Camfed) do exactly that. It's a way to slow population growth and give us breathing room to solve the rest of our problems.

No, that's wrong. It's nothing to do with double jeopardy. It's because he was induced to incriminate himself by a prosecutor who promised not to use those incriminating statements against him, then they were used. 5th Amendment violation. If he'd been convicted without his statements being used against him (and in hindsight it's hard to imagine that the rest of the case against him wouldn't have been strong enough to hold up at trial) then that conviction would have been solid.

I have never claimed that laws don't work. My point has been simple and clear yet others want to twist my words and propose that ridiculous interpretation. Making more laws when the current laws aren't enforced or are ignored by criminals makes no sense. Making it more difficult for a legal owner to have self protection enables the criminals. Folks want to impose restrictions on guns when the gun isn't the problem. Yes, those dangerous AR14's (crazy Joe - 2020), pure ignorance. Reasonable restrictions already exist. And in the past I've clearly stated that there is room for more restrictions but they must be reasonable. Background checks at gun shows is needed. Control of items that increase the lethality of certain types of guns is needed. Things like bump stocks and binary triggers are a problem. No need to ban them just make them Class 3 items. The standard semi auto hunting rifle that has been round for over 100 years is equally lethal to a scary looking black gun. Hundreds of thousands are around and yet one is almost never used for gun violence. Federal crime stats are clear - most gun violence is with pistols. The problem is the people misusing firearms not the firearm. On your examples of drunk driving and rape. Drunk driving laws weren't enacted on the alcohol, they were enacted on those that knowingly kept serving the drinker and on the drinker. Rape laws weren't enacted on the offending body part, they were enacted on the person.

I do based on what you have posted to date. If what you have posted is made up and doesn't reflect what you would really do, well then you have been trolling.

So to you, having your eye gouged out, losing your finger, being beaten with a flagpole and being crushed in a door is the same as not being able to enter a building for a few hours. To you, defecating on the floor, smashing windows, stealing furniture and shooting into a crowd is the same as standing in front of a door. Makes as much sense as anything else you've posted.

Brent is a troll. I don't know why anyone is still feeding him.

Meh. Another day, another fool/troll/русский-bot to add to the Ignore List.

Hi Guys, I finished my training last year and started the new season 4 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to this great new sport and I'm curious what I can experience in the future. Many greetings from Germany, Phil

I started skydiving/AFF at the Champaign-Urbana Skydiving Club last fall when I was 18 then finished out my A-license in January in the student training program at Skydive Spaceland Houston. Since then, I've been skydiving with the UIUC Falling Illini Collegiate Skydiving Team as the (currently) only girl and travelling to Chicagoland Skydiving Center on the weekends to get more altitude and larger formation jumps. I've been thrown into a nuclear lake, hit jump number and freefall time for my B-license, and gone through ground school for the canopy course. This summer, I'm hoping to hit my C-license and make some hot air balloon jumps. Eventually, the goal is wingsuiting and BASE jumping. Now that I'm travelling to more dropzones and have enough tunnel time and training experience to begin more advanced diveflows, I figured it's time to introduce myself and get to know more of the community. I'll be tenting Friday-Sunday at dzs across Missouri + a few neighboring states this summer, so if you're located at any of those areas and want to get some jumps together feel free to reach out! I'm also open to US dropzone recommendations and meeting other USPA Collegiate Nationals competitors, so if you're planning to enter this year (or need extra team members) let me know! Blue skies! -Kathleen Beetner, ig: @kathleens_shenanigans

You shouldn't put being in the "hair dryer" in the parking lot into your skydiving log book. And your skydiving logbook is an "unofficial" official document. If anything happens to you at the DZ the FAA will definitely look at it. It's why United 747 Captains don't write, "Finally nailed that Lufthansa flight attendant at the Holiday Inn last night!" In their logbooks. Keep a diary under your mattress for the fluff stuff . . . NickD

Its your logbook. I log skydives in my tunnel logbook. I also Log the Type and Quantity of beers I Consume in my logbook. You cant tell me what to log in this great country, Texas
