It probably wouldn’t matter. In this hypothetical situation of Canada being a 51st state, it would still only have two senators and maybe as many representatives/electors as california. The impact of a third party would be so small that most Canadians would quickly choose one of the two major...

Fascinating. https://www.reuters.com/world/world-economic-forum-launches-probe-into-founder-klaus-schwab-over-whistleblower-2025-04-22/ https://www.politico.eu/article/world-economic-forum-investigation-klaus-schwab/

Ironically, I’ve often been astounded at how ignorant many Europeans are of American culture and history beyond cultural exports like McDonald’s, Coca Cola, and Hollywood. They have a lot of misunderstandings about how large and diverse the United States really is (culturally and geographically).

Indeed. Louis XVI only aided American independence because it hurt Britain. Then the relationship went sour pretty quickly after the French Revolution. Funny how a nation being taken over by a mass murdering regime does that.

Gen Z may be smarter than I usually give them credit for. ;)

The man we would thank was Louis XVI and the French people killed him.

What a classless thing to say.

I see. Democrats are funny. One would have thought that Trump was still president for the entire four years of Biden’s term based on how any and everything bad was his fault even after 2020. Now he’s also president of El Salvador. I wonder what he will be president of next? It’d be nice if the...

Maybe we’re talking past each other. What due process rights do you think he has that were ignored? He’s a citizen of El Salvador, illegally in the United States. He can be deported for that alone and at any time. He didn’t have a right to be here. He wasn’t put in the US prison without trial...

Trump didn’t put him in prison. El Salvador did. So take it up with them. He was already here illegally and rather than behaving he punched his wife. Deporting an illegal alien doesn’t have the same legal burden as putting someone in prison. He didn’t have a right to be in the US and he...

Then complain about that. It has nothing to do with Abrego Garcia.

It’s definitely a weird cause for the democrats to be so hung up on. It’s the same kind of tone deaf nonsense that cost them the election. We’ll see how that works for them in the midterms. Much is made about Trump self immolating but the fact the dems have, apparently, managed to snatch defeat...

Deporting foreign criminals is just like Russia now? Man, I wish democrats cared this much about the real Americans being harmed by illegal immigrants and cross border gangs.

But what’s the time in CA? I assume that’s where the donkeys would be returned to. We tend to have pretty strict environmental laws. NWTF is wants to establish turkeys in Riverside and we’d like to introduce some new genes down here as well but CADFW is pretty strict about how that’s done. I...

Reading that gave me a headache. I like the idea of the morons driving out to Texas to bring the feral donkeys “home.” I wonder what the fine for releasing large invasive mammals would be? Hopefully the California department of fish and wildlife is watching these lunatics.

I believe Eduard Foá was a fan of the 8 bore and used a pair for his hunting enterprise.

Indeed. In leu of the 318, I wouldn’t mind seeing the 338/06 become more standardized with some rifle and ammunition makers picking it up. I think it fills an otherwise empty niche.

I’d definitely vote for the 318WR. It seems to perfectly fit the niche between the 300s and 366/375 without the need for a punishing magnum like 338WM.

I wouldn’t say I have a lot of ammo for guns I don’t own but I’ve found that non-shooters will sometimes give me ammo they somehow have come into possession of. They don’t know what to do with it and I am happy to take any free ammo. I can give it away to someone with that chambering later or I...

Seems the Aussies have their own version of Joe to contend with.

They don’t need a reason. The people who will send you death threats online don’t care if you are smiling or crying in a photo, they care that you shot an elephant, or giraffe, or whichever charismatic mega fauna they are worried about. The kind of people the OP is being harassed by are not...

A successful hunt involves killing a creature. To attempt to somehow separate the two things is ridiculous. You’re not carrying a rifle to tickle them with. I am certainly aware of continental practices of placing vegetation in the mouth of a dead animal. Tradition is important but...

Indeed. Comparing a successful hunt to a funeral has to be one of the most insane takes I’ve seen on a hunting forum. Particularly since the one who made the comment is a hunter.

Thats the key, any “improvement” is modest. And the need for increased velocity from big bore safari cartridges is pretty questionable. I’m a cynic. I still believe ruger did this so they could squeeze more money out of cheaper actions (not worse, just cheaper to manufacture). Of course they...

I have a 455 lux and it’s one of my favorite guns.

I think it’s pretty likely that the primary reason the 375 and 416 ruger exist was because ruger wanted to be able to drop the RSM while still being to offer a safari/Alaskan guide type cartridge in the standard length action. The long magnum market is pretty niche. The new cartridges don’t...

The last couple decades have shown me that you can never have too much and should always “buy cheap, stack deep” when you see a good deal. Modern ammunition is so shelf stable and the market has been so volatile in both cost and availability that there’s very little downside to buying in bulk...

One gun in the hand of a maniac is more dangerous than a hundred in the hands of a good citizen. So numerical limits don’t come into it in my mind. I recently served on the jury for an attempted murder trial and the suspect’s cheap, liquor store, folding knife has caused more harm to humans than...

He’s setting up for his 2028 run, just like Newsome with his podcast.

What’s ironic is that leaning on the WH when their candidate is in office has become a necessity for both parties since polarization has made it almost impossible for either party to pass their most important policy goals via legislation. This also means a lot of those same goals get rolled back...

But they have free speech right?

I think think the issue with the article is that it’s an editorial and was short on specific policy changes. There was a lot of “we Canadians” talk by someone who can’t speak for all Canadians. He’s not a politician or a statesman. No one would argue that the relationship is anything but...

Seems like a good reason to tighten the border then.

Kidding aside, Sanders was an interesting character. Actually shot a man.

To be fair, the 416 rigby is 114 years old and the 404 Jeffry is 120. The age is largely irrelevant. Now the performance is another matter.

It’d be good to see the eco-terrorists pay up. I assume they will appeal. https://www.city-journal.org/article/greenpeace-verdict-energy-transfer-dakota-access-pipeline?skip=1

I live 26 miles from the Mexican border and I can guarantee I would not be the least bit concerned if the president of Mexico did as you suggest. I doubt many Americans would be. Elements within Mexico and Mexicans within California bring up a reconquista of California from time to time but it’s...

One would hope but I don’t think they’re self aware enough for that.
