    State of the union today?

    I'll second this. I didn't start working to support myself until the early 90s, but I was constantly working 2-3 jobs while attending school just to barely scrape by. What got me out of that cycle was picking lucrative majors in college that had excellent job prospects, and working my ass off to...

    Study: Trans Shooters Commit ‘Disproportionate Shares of Mass Public and Active Shooting Attacks’

    That would almost make one think that mental illness is something we should be concerned about! But, nah, must be the guns.

    Florida Teachers Union Says Children Protesting ICE is ‘Required’

    Eh, this is a twisting of words. Read the article and what he really said. He's not saying that students should be required to protest, he's saying that this is a situation that needs to be protested against. Big difference.

    Budget bill A-10005/S-9005

    Blatant first amendment violation.

    California Democrats Push Mandatory Training to Buy a Gun - SB948

    I could get behind mandatory gun safety training, but certainly not like this. Make it a requirement to graduate high school, like the Economics or Participation in Government classes were when I was in high school. That way, no government gating to exercise a right. There's other issues that...

    There is currently a big push for Hochul to ban gas-powered lawn/yard equipment in her budget, including snowblowers

    Huh. You know, now that you mention it, I bet that's why I have to replace stuff in my For 8N every couple of years. It was definitely not built for ethanol.

    Ilhan Omar begins to smell BETTER - Sprayed with Fox Urine

    Word now is that it was apple cider vinegar. So... it was acid!

    The time has come for me to start taking prepping as serious as I once did.

    We have those all over the place where I live now. Was really handy when I first moved here and had no well yet... would fill up buckets for flushing the toilet, and occasionally do a side-of-the-road scrub-down of myself. My daughter was fascinated by this and decided to wash her hair there one...

    Some Possible Good News From SCOTUS

    Radically unconstitutional, of course. But there is one option that would be legal and seems pretty obvious... ban CC (only allow OC.).

    Some Possible Good News From SCOTUS

    I'm pretty optimistic regarding this case. I've lost track, what's the status of the similar law in NY? Last I remember, it was struck down in a district court. I don't remember hearing of any appeals. Regardless, it will be good for SCOTUS to definitively strike down that bullshit.

    NY Attorney General Letitia James charging Florida man with 71 gun crimes

    It's gotten so bad that Rural King won't even send me empty ammo cans anymore.

    Trump wants to ban single family homes being sold to investment firms

    I'd suggest keeping an eye open on rural areas you'd want to move. Keep in mind that houses are less expensive in rural areas, so the equity you have in your home could enable you to make the move today. My wife and I were in a substantially similar boat as you about 2 years ago... house bought...

    Trump wants to ban single family homes being sold to investment firms

    I don't really think that investment firms buying homes is really a problem. They're just part of the market. If they push things too high, demand will plummet and prices will drop. Frankly, I think we're on the verge of that point right now. There are a lot of other things going on that I...

    Ashli Babbitt Settlement

    There's no way that $190 million figure is correct. As the article points out, Maryland in its entirety is allocated $193 million, and that is spread across thousands of day cares. Two possibilities here: Sperry got his facts mixed up Or, he intentionally used the lowercase 'm' (which means...

    Pistol permit Recertification Time

    Re-certified for my wife and I this past weekend. All of the listed pistols were correct, but my address was our previous address (we moved 1.5 years ago) and my county was still listed as the previous county. Same for her, but her home address was completely wrong. Apparently some kind of...
