Think French Revolution on steroids. Already, we have a large population unemployable in our tech based service economy. With no safety net you will have those with wealth, those in service of them, and a very large population with no means, and maybe even a desire to generate income. It could...

Well, the “B” in UBI stands for basic income. For those that have the drive to do more and prosper there should/would be other avenues. However, I see the UBI coming, and it should come as otherwise we’ll have barbarians at the gates, literally.

I am on an overseas flight headed to Dallas right now. Just before I left last month I had an invoice from a vendor that had a line item that showed tariffs for everything that was purchased. I gave instructions to mark it up accordingly on the invoice to our clients. In other words we passed...

If one has their house paid for and in a low cost area it could work. When I start drawing it next year, when I turn 70, I will get over $5K a month. I could make it work. However, “ I just don’t think at this age, I’m meant to live an uncomfortable life .” :unsure:I need a lot more than that...

FYI Social security is NOT a government handout. I have paid the max each year.

My daughter and SIL both have Yale undergraduate and Harvard law degrees. Yale strongly discourages its graduates continuing their law education at Yale. Guess they want their law school be more diverse in undergrad degree schools. Neither needed an MBA.

When my daughter graduated from Yale, Harvard and Stanford were her top two choices for law school. We visited both campuses. Her response was Stanford had the best lifestyle and slightly better legal education. However, she rightly pointed out that selection committees in top M&A law firms...

My daughter who is head of the recruitment committee at her firm recruits from top Ivy League schools and same for all the top law firms in the country. A person from your local law school has zero chance. It makes sense, in order to get into an Ivy League school you have to be the cream of...

And how are you qualified to opine on her performance other than not agreeing with all her decisions?

Well, it is not just blue states. TX has huge property taxes as well.

Actually, US Secret service provides protection as well.

Lasted a minute. https://apple.news/AA3BlgEijSAOBsllcQ_WuWQ

Mine is mounted pretty far back, default location for Heyms.

He is already being called TACO in regard to tariffs. We'll see if it applies to this as well.

Heck, quite a number of members of Congress (e.g. Ilhan Omar) would not have the security clearance for a briefing prior to the act and also have divided loyalties.

I agree with briefing Congress after the fact. However, if it is beforehand, next thing would be the Squad or Sanders having a press conference condemning the action and compromising the mission.

I don't see this happening. Nothing brings a country together like an external threat. I have talked to number of Iranians with family still in Iran. Even the ones that hated the mullahs are supporting them now against Israel. One person I talked to talked about the Iraq-Iran war during his...

Well, Trump definitely is more likely than the Democrats to make the decision. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.

Let's say we eradicate the nuclear site with the 30K pound bombs. What will be the repercussions? I assume there are Iranian sleeper cells worldwide and would be activated for terrorism. The decision will have to be made whether that is worth the risk including the political fallout. It is not...

https://apple.news/ASNBYcL3STKGb1E4Xq-2fpQ It started… From the article: I don’t see how someone that has been appointed to basically patronage boards by two Democratic governors would be a “strong supporter “ of Trump. Heck, Kamala Harris was appointed to a couple of boards for taking care...

I am looking forward to seeing the mental gymnastics of the left to blame Trump and the administration for his deeds. Statements prior to identifying him were already insinuating he was a conservative. Grab the popcorn.

I use an Els cartridge carrier. Softs for buffalo and solids for elephant. Carry up front for easy access.

Wow, something I have never tried as I like to do spearfishing most of the time. I will have to try it as that place is close by relatively speaking. congratulations

Obviously, it didn't penetrate to hit the brain. First video I posted above there were pieces of brain splattered all along the side of the elephant when the bullet exited.

That's why I compete.

I was just going to point it out. I was born in 1956, and my draft status was 1H on my card. Obama is younger of course.

I love it. I have 13K miles on it. Will be driving it to ND in August to drop off my dog for 3 months for finishing school. Then, will pick him up in November and hunt as well.

I drove to get a haircut at Corona Del Mar, CA. Off of PCH there were a whole bunch of protestors and took me 20 minutes to make a left turn. Ended up taking the last public parking spot by my stylist. An hour later they were mostly gone (2PM).

First, Turkey will never join EU. EU countries, especially Greece, do no want it and Erdogan doesn’t either. He suggested it in order to win votes when his power base was not solid. Now, he has jailed all his potential opponents and consolidated power, so no need for even pretense. Second...

We do not use Iranian oil and the only negative impact will be the oil prices going up. Which is actually a good thing for small producers here in the USA. In regard to gas prices, gallon of gas is expected to go up by 65 cents here in CA next month due to new regulations and additional CA...

Yep, @Red Leg had suggested this. Before every hunting trip with a double, I end up shooting at least 500 clays with a SxS at my local sporting clays range.

Bad shot placement initially. Should have done it my way. Money shot at 0:43

I have to go to LA tomorrow and work as security for my partner. Moved it to 6AM due to planned "No King..." demonstrations. Area marked in blue is where I am going, and areas in red are the demonstration areas. Not pleased, as I was planning on doing other stuff instead of being an armed guard...

Worked pretty well with the Japanese after Hiroshima etc..

Yep. My partner and I have had Sound Gear Phantom when it first became available. I also pair it with my phone via Bluetooth...

I don't have an issue in regard to wind with mine. Though, cost is North of $1K, guess you get what you pay for. Even once will result in a hearing loss, and it keeps worse cumulatively. BTW, modern hearing protection can also be programmed to help with your hearing. They program the firmware...

In-ear hearing protection. It enhances your hearing, comfortable and cuts down the noise at the time of firing your weapon. It is custom made for people's ears. You can see a part of it sticking out of my left ear.

Look at his voting record vs Lisa Murkowski's since he was elected. I think I'd rather have Lisa.

@fourfive8 First the largest contributor to the main group organizing all of this is actually State of CA, as pointed out above to the tune of tens of millions of dollars in the last couple of years. Second, I doubt you can even link those rioting directly to the organizations. I am not...

Well, as a lefty looking for a DR .450/400 would not be my first choice as my first DR. Now, if this had come along before I got my Heym 9.3x75R a couple of years ago I would start a conversation. Now, I have a .450/400 set of barrels coming with my Rigby, so all set.

More tariff related stuff, I really don't care about the price. It is a wrist rest specifically made for my keyboard and not made here. So, ordered another manufacturer's product (.5" shorter in length) that will arrive this afternoon, paid $3 more and that one is also made in China. Go figure.

$42K is a bit steep if one doesn’t want the reloading supplies, ammo etc..

And the Boeing Dreamliner had the best safety record.

However, he is considered a hero by the left. A man rising to the occasion to fight tyranny. :sneaky: https://apple.news/Avp1xMGtgQe-6iRY82ZiMGA

It is against the law to have automated equipment in CA (was passed in 50s). Even though they have had driverless cars for years in CA cities the legislature will not lift the ban for farms for “safety reasons”. It is as if they want the illegal labor. :unsure: There was a recent news segment...

As much as I disagree with Soros’ worldview, one can’t fine and jail him for political speech. Laws should apply equally to all. Unless one can tie him directly to illegal actions nothing can be done. Plausible deniability applies to both sides. There are probably multiple organizations between...

Very similar to Bezos' ex-wife and Jobs widow. I wonder if they feel guilty for the billions they received for making a profitable marriage and feel they have to fund the left-wing causes.

Didn't help Trump or Republicans in 2020 when we had similar George Floyd riots. Remember CNN "mostly peaceful" protests with City burning in the background. It will not change Democrat minds.

I think this paragraph explains it all. Trump is not a man of convictions and it is difficult for him to relate and deal with those who are.
