I'd bet that he sent an autographed copy of the "72 Virgins" book to trump. It's an area of mutual interest it seems.

So without checking ....none? Given that he certainly never read any at Wharton. trump is a good counter argument to those who say public schools should be replaced by private ones.

His anti-literacy agenda may take a hit after conviction. But Kansas has no provisions that he can't attend school facilities for future board meetings. Kansas, ban books but don't ban sex offenders from hanging around schools. Figures.

When you read so little, i.e. republicans, its easy to ban something. Its likely dems buying the book.

Easy Keith we have one guy yanking your chain and another wanting to split hairs. You can feed him the delayed-roller blowback definition which he omitted. Since we're getting to the 3 micron area of hair splitting.

The overweight lady ain't done singing yet. "Attorneys representing the estate of Anthony Huber filed the suit Tuesday in Milwaukee. Huber's father, John Huber, named Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth, former Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis, Kenosha Acting Police Chief Eric Larsen, several unnamed Kenosha police officers, as well as the city and county of Kenosha." "Fallout from what happened on an August 2020 night in Kenosha, Wisconsin is not over. There’s more legal action ahead. Denver attorney Milo Schwab represents two of those who were shot. His clients are the family of Joseph Rosenbaum, one of those who died as well as Gaige Grosskreutz who was wounded "

Fair enough. The safety was described as"The only departure from the AR-15 pattern was the safety knob on the right-hand side of the rifle. This pill bottle-style safety needs to be pulled out with some force and rotated into the locked position before the rifle can fire. This puts the adult in control of the gun’s safety function." I'd be turned off by $400 for a polymer upper, polymer lower, 7.5" barrel. But I'm sure there will be buyers. In the end the father, instructor will likely be the determinate as to how safe the teaching and use will be. Not how it looks. Anti-gun media is having a field day with it. So that will boost sales.

Just to be clear, do you think the JR-15 would be a good rifle to start a young shooter out with? i.e. their first rifle. I personally started with a .177 air rifle then progressed to single shot shotguns and bolt action .22 rifles.

Good morning. There is a difference between journalism with a political orientation and stories that specifically have the design to mislead. The two main journalism media bias charts are in this story. I have to admit I get my FOX news from Brent's posts because the lies are so upfront. But when reading the WSJ the orientation to a pro-business slant is pretty obvious. Just as the NYT has a pro-left leaning(subscriber). But separating fact from fiction. Doesn't take a whole lot of effort, at least IMO.

No he would not be dead. He may have had his manhood...er his precious AR15 stolen and smashed. YES

Hopefully this won't totally derail this thread but you've hit on the uniquely American bent to this story. Kim Kardashian’s "Shapewear label Skims said it had doubled its valuation to $3.2 billion after raising $240 million in fresh funds." IMO the JR15 completely the wrong rifle to start out young shooters. There are .22 rifles like the Rascal. That are likely more accurate and designed to introduce shooting to those who don't know how dangerous guns can be. Only America can the Kardashians and the JR15 coexist in the pursuit of the consumer dollar.Proving that bad taste isn't just for women or men alone.

Those numbers are consistent with polls from NPR and PEW. IMO they are accurate. While the WP has a consistent left wing orientation to its editorials. Its accuracy is well respected.

Unfortunately there is a middle ground of voters. For them the price of gas, meat and potatoes trumps a good economy. The DJIA doesn't matter because the only stocks they own hold the actions of their guns. The conditioning that they get each night from FOX teaches them to hate Washington. To hate government. For them history is last weeks trip to Walmart where the price of ammo was up.Oh well, like MLK's speech "I had a dream". The dream of a national brotherhood, a national reconciliation, seems to be as short lived as King's life.

A pacifier in the mouth of the skull with accent crossbones. The marketing department of wee1 is firing on all chambers. Once in a while the courts get it right. It ordered the destruction of the weapon.

Not according to the polls You are correct. Actually it appears he is right. But Wendy is correct the country needs moderation. More so than any other country. "America is exceptional in the nature of its political divide" Pew research 2020 study. and it looks as if midterms are swinging to a newer GOP middle ground. From last week Gallup, "by the final quarter of the year that had shifted sharply to a 5-point Republican advantage, according to Gallup's aggregate data. "Both the 9-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the 5-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991," IMO a swing vote this fast and large represents independent minds as the fringes of both parties have been fixed for a while.

The US shouldn't be the worlds policeman. It should be the leader for democracy and the west. Only the US can stand up to Chinese and Russian hegemony. A US president should have to shake hands and look every service-member in the face before they had off to any foreign danger zone. The US response to Libya should be the model. They waited until the EU took the lead before they sent AC into action. Coalition building and sanctions should be front and center. Dust should build up on any battle plans before any dogs are released. The problem with the US military is that civilian leadership think action is painless and cheap. That one quick success can be duplicated. Thats a mistake.

You're entirely correct that Biden is MIA in selling his agenda to the people. He should have press conferences weekly or bi-monthly. His BBB plan needs action. He needs to grab Nancy Pelosi by the scruff of her scarf. Round up Romney, Liz, Adam and the Dem holdouts. Bring them all over to the WH and nobody goes home until there is unanimous agreement on what is spent. Then get it passed. With inflation rising additional spending may not be the best plan for America. But there is infrastructure that needs address. The passing of a smaller BBB deal would likely lead to a quick withdrawal of FED bond buying. So likely have no impact on inflation overall. What he has failed in and Pelosi, Adam Schiff and the other democrat leaders have fumbled. Is any attempt to split the GOP leadership from their base. By initiating moderate spending plans. By making efforts to sideswipe McConnell and the trump agenda. By exposing the radical elements of the GOP that refuses to compromise. Biden promised to reach out in his campaign and his inauguration. He hasn't and if he doesn't get busy Brent may be right for the second time in his life.

Enjoy the cookie. President Biden is getting the blame for inflation now. In his recent speech he said he over delivered and under promised. Many will remember trump saying that if elected the US would see 5%,6% and even seven percent growth. Well today Biden delivered 5.7 percent, the largest annual increase since 1984. He never asked for applause and it seems as if he never got any. Now when the world needs US leadership to confront Russian aggression in Ukraine. This would be the fifth country Putin wants to invade. Biden and the US have put together another united front. Even republicans have said the US response is correct. The USSC? Mitch Mcconnell has stated that he won't tolerate any "radical left" nominees. Yet sabotage of the political center of the courts was his previous efforts. When republicans held power they promised again and again a infrastructure bill. None was ever presented.China has outspent the US over 3-1 in infrastructure over the last decade. President Biden has done nothing to date to further US division. The same cannot be said from those across the isle. Where are the "moderate republicans" with national interests at heart? Although I'd agree he needs to sell his position better. Its just too bad that many don't recognize the 27% increase in the DJIA. Even after the recent corrections, full employment, with hundreds of thousands of jobs unfilled. That last moderate republican? He died on August 25, 2018 and only his destroyer remains to wave the flag.

Americans en-masse nearly had an aneurysm when a Black President was elected.Now Biden wants.... a Black, woman, lawyer as a SC appointee? I predict winsor will keep another thread alive single-handedly. That Mitch Mcconnell and Tucker Carlson will echo the meat of the GOP base. A powerful Black woman making decisions on guns and their lives? Never.

FIFY

When mistakes, errors, or omissions are made. Its useful to have a hole in argument large enough to sail a Ford Class carrier through.

Some people still live in the Luddite age.

The bill in Texas alone for plugging and remediating orphan oil wills is calculated at $117 Billion. Which is enough to give a free new Prius to every second household in the entire state. Of course the GOP economists like Brent will never admit that. Admit that that unfunded liability even exists.FOXonomics tells them everything they need to know on to F#%k the country while lining their pockets.

More GOP deep state infiltration into liberal arts exposed.

trump on Ukraine"the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."“And another country, wants to come in and join—they love Russia," ..."Well, you know, guess what? They want to form with Russia." At the Freedom Summit, Trump argued that the pro-Russia movement in Crimea was real and not a "setup." "Russia is, like, I mean, they're really hot stuff," he said. "And now you have people in the Ukraine, who knows, set up or not, but it can't all be set up. I mean, they're marching in favor of joining Russia. I mean, you know, you can send some people in." “So he has the Olympics," Trump said that May. "The day after the Olympics, he starts with Ukraine. The day after. How smart? You know, he didn’t want to do it during the Olympics. Boom. The day after. So our athletes leave, we all leave, and the day after. And you know, when he goes in and takes Crimea, he’s taking the heart and soul because that’s where all the money is. I was surprised. I heard that the other day. They were saying, most of the wealth comes right from that area.” Biden has sent hundreds of millions in military aid to Ukraine. He also has led the international coalition and NATO response. Contrary to what his apologists have represented.
