    Hi Robert, ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Re: so every LEO gets the same training and operates under the same policies. We have that here in Oregon. Except for operates under the same policies. I am a total believer that there should only be one LEO organization in a state. It provides continuity in enforcement. I would think we all would want that. While, here in Oregon, all LEO's have to go thru the state-run academy, the enforcement is left to the organization that they belong to. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, While the very recent SCOTUS decision was not a surprise ( due to the previous 'leaked' memo ), I hope that every voter who is opposed to this decision will choose to vote against every GOP candidate on their ballot. It will be IMO the first step in our taking back this country. I ask of you: No exceptions, no GOP votes. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, A slip of the tongue my ass: historic victory for white life She knew exactly what she was saying, look at who is behind her & supporting her. Rep. Mary Miller tells a crowd the end of Roe is a 'victory for white life.' : NPR Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Dimintrilp, Also, the PdF toggles are not made from the 'normal' 1" (25 mm) Type 4 webbing. They appear to be from 5/8" (15-17 mm) Type 4 webbing. See the photo above. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi wood, It continues to amaze me that some non-Americans know so much about this country & a lot of Americans do not or do not care to learn. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, If you are referring to Bernie Sanders, Nope. As Joe posted: what is possible and nominate two centrist white males We need to make very damn sure that the GOP does not win in 2024. If this means electing someone more to the center than I would like, so be it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Sky, IMO the worst SCOTUS app't in my lifetime. Jerry Baumchen PS) After he was out of office, Pres. Eisenhower said that the biggest mistake he made as POTUS, was to appoint Earl Warren to Chief Justice. I thought it turned out great.

    Hi folks, My memory is a little fuzzy on this, but, as I recall, after Biden had won the election he said something about wanting to unite this country. I thought he was nuts. He was not my first choice for the nomination, but considering the options, I supported him. As I would today given the same choices. Today, he is IMO taking a very weak stand on this decision: Roe v. Wade decision 2022: Biden calls abortion ruling ‘a sad day’ for country - oregonlive.com IMO it more than a 'sad day,' it is a disaster with more to come. The Democratic party needs to nominate someone with a lot more fire in the belly in 2024 or we will lose more than just Roe v Wade. End of rant, Jerry Baumchen PS) This is more like it: It shows how much standing up and fighting for rights matters every day Trudeau calls overturn of Roe v. Wade 'horrific' - POLITICO

    Hi Joe, No, I did not know just how sick she was. I also believe that there should be an age limit on SCOTUS members. While I do not believe in putting old people out on the ice to die, there is some validity to this: GOV. LAMM ASSERTS ELDERLY, IF VERY ILL, HAVE 'DUTY TO DIE' - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Jerry Baumchen PS) Four ys ago, when they were wheeling me in for my triple bypass, I had almost no concern should I not survive the operation.

    Hi Joe, This why I advocate that all heads of LEO organizations in a state be appointed & not elected. Jerry Baumchen PS) I am also an advocate that the head of a LEO organization need not be a certificated LEO. It is a management position.
