  1. Hi Ken, Here is another option: King Rat (Clavell novel) - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi folks, Looks like he should have stood farther back: Rhodes, 58, is the first person charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy Extremist Oath Keepers founder gets longest sentence yet in Jan. 6 attack - oregonlive.com He's now got 18 yrs to 'Stand back & Stand by.' Mark another one up for the good guys. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Sky, And, don't forget, 'I heard . . . ' Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Phil, Re: You do know he is a liar don't you? What, what? Next you are going to say that there is no Tooth Fairy.* Oh, the horror. Jerry Baumchen * After 60+ yrs of good service, I just had a Wisdom tooth removed. I guess nothing is forever.
  5. Hi folks, Maybe, just maybe: Uvalde anniversary poll finds support for enacting gun restrictions : NPR From the article: That's the highest in 10 years and includes 4 in 10 gun owners. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi airdvr, Huh? Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi folks, Looks like they are going to have to increase those enlistment bonuses: Head of Russian private army Wagner says more than 20,000 of his troops died in Bakhmut battle | AP News Join now & spend a lifetime in uniform. It's the length of that 'lifetime; that is problematic. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi Keith, As I have posted before, you bring more to this discussion than any other poster. THANK YOU, Jerry Baumchen PS) Oh, I agree 100%. Also, doing nothing is not the solution.
  9. Hi Joe, Re: lame assed arguments that the cost is too high Those that sat in gas lines during the fuels shortage of the '70's did not concern themselves with the costs. They just wanted their cars to get them going again. When there is no more, the costs will not be something to be concerned about. BTDT, Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi John, Along with the PC Jr, the Edsel, etc. We could go on forever. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi Wendy, Re: what's right And, that depends upon your 'right' vs the other person's 'right.' The 2024 elections are going to be a real shit-show. Stay cool & think before you react. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi John, I completely agree. And, I have little concern as to the manipulating of the stock mkt. It is the 2024 election where we will see it at it's worse. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Joe, If you were to ask me if I like apples, I would say 'Yes.' However, I do not like all types of apples. I feel the same way about this: but I like the idea of intentionally filing frivolous lawsuits in order to bankrupt large companies even less. I have no problem with the 'frivolous lawsuits' against the gun mfrs. After all, it is the American way. Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi folks, Slowly, but surely, we are making some progress: "You only need one or two lawsuits to win to transform the whole industry," Federal law protects firearms industry from lawsuits. Uvalde parents test limits : NPR If we can keep up the pressure through these lawsuits, hopefully, we will change this country. I know it is a slim hope, but it is better than the continual slaughter. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Rob, Few people are ever satisfied when someone else buys something for them. How would you like it if someone you do not know bought you your rig? As I grew older, my mother learned to always put the receipt in the pocket of any shirt that she bought for me for my birthday. It made it much easier to do the exchange. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi folks, Here is a non-paywall version: Opinion | Bragg spells out statutes that bump up Trump's charges - The Washington Post (archive.ph) Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Rich, Firehouse talk was sexual until women began coming into the job. BTDT, Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Ken, But, it is what he 'heard.' Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi folks, IMO we need a few more Oopsies like this one: Accounting error means Pentagon can send an additional $3 billion in weapons to Ukraine | AP News Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Ken, IMO this is what it will take. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi folks, As I was watching the news this evening, with a major story on the great images that have been developed of the Titanic, I had to think of Ralph White. Ralph spent more time filming the Titanic than anyone. He also ran the dz at Sky Haven Airport, Lancaster, California in the mid-'60's. Quite a number of his air-to-air photos appeared in SKYDIVER magazine back in those days. With the new transition of this website, all of the photos taken by Ralph & posted here are now gone. Ralph B. White - IMDb Jerry Baumchen PS) Some embellishment in that link, Ralph was never on the US Team.
  22. Hi Robert, Just another nail in the GOP Family Values coffin. Jerry Baumchen PS) I pity the poor bastard who gets her next; if anyone. PPS) No ad blocker here: Rep. Lauren Boebert Files for Divorce (businessinsider.com)
  23. Hi Phil, Mitch McConnell rails against all the pork spent by Congress Critters. But, don't you dare talk about the tobacco subsidies for those Kentucky farmers. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Bill, Well, here is someone who thinks she is: Vogue's Anna Wintour to host Harris fundraiser in New York - POLITICO Tickets for the May 30 fundraiser, which organizers are planning for 50 to 75 people, will start at $10,000. Let's see the Trumpees match that. * Jerry Baumchen * If they sold all of their guns & that pickup, then they might be able to.
  25. Hi Bill, Skill has limits; even LeBron James has limits. Stupidity has no limits. Jerry Baumchen PS) I used to say that I would rather be lucky than skillful - because luck also has no limits.
