This happened to a friend of mine. I forget the whole story but his girlfriend's family owned a house in Virginia I believe. Long story short, parents died and the house was empty while they were settling the estate and was so for some time. Come to find out that a family of illegals (Guatemala...
This was actually a really good (imo) position paper on the topic. Why we are where we are with the issue and steps to help stop it.
An Immigration Crisis Beyond Imagining
TLDR:
There are two essential steps we must take to begin to solve the border crisis:
Enforce current immigration...
I get where you're coming from but in this case these parents were, in my opinion, INCREDIBLY negligent.
1) Knew the kid had issues
2) Bought a gun and gifted it to the kid/didn't store it safely
3) School called parents several times with concerns
4) I believe day of the shooting they asked...
It ain't just the UK. Other counties (I believe Poland and Finland) have said similar things. The cynic in me says this is just a push to get more funding for the military-industrial complex.
Far-right extremism is thriving in rural areas. Here's what it looks like in Upstate NY
All right, which one of you "election-denying, right-wing extremists" is spreading all this "hate" in the North Country?
First it was the Dutch farmers. While I believe they got shutdown they have a new prime minister who is supportive. Hopefully the same happens in Germany and all over Europe.
Starving people in the name of the climate emergency seems counterproductive if you ask me. Then again it's all part of...
I learned earlier this week that my local school district has a special closet where kids who are "non-binary/gender nonconforming/trans" can change into clothes that more appropriately reflect their gender identity. All without parental knowledge of course.
Little Trump's are popping up all over the world I see. I wish Argentina the best but I can't help but think the deep state is going to ruin him just they do to anyone who wants meaningful change here.
No one should feel bad for this guy. Every action he's taken his adult life has been done to position himself for the NYC Mayor's Office. He's reaping what he's sown. Too bad he's running the City into the ground fiscally.
Don't you love how they protect the most degenerate people until they're not needed anymore? Then all of a sudden the gloves come off and its off to the races. I don't know why anyone would think they can get away with that crap nor do I understand why anyone would want to go above a local-level...
Perhaps, but that's the legislature. In the states where they were ballot initiatives Pro-Choice overwhelming one. This was true everywhere including red states.
Coming to this thread late I know, but here's my take.
The Dobbs decision fucked us. I mean REALLY fucked us. Many people who would've otherwise sat this one out came out to vote for abortion rights. The hardcore religious faction of the GOP has been chasing its tale for decades ever since Roe...
I was gonna say, this group is trying to climb the White House fence. January 6 "insurrectionists" walked through open doors and stayed inside the velvet ropes.
Same is true in the Catskill Park. I usually wear one anyway. Never quite understood the reasoning for why those areas don't require them but other public lands do.
Chiming in to say that I bought ammo yesterday for the first time this crap went into effect. The store clerk told me to brace myself for delays. As luck would have it it went right through with no issues. Everyone at th counter who was waiting for theirs was jealous. Told me to go buy a lotto...
So Mittens and his magic underwear aren't running again, huh? I read somewhere that he says it's because he wants younger people to get involved in politics and says that Trump and Biden should step aside to allow that. Personally, I agree with that. I'm real tired of out of touch geriatrics...
Most of them are still working off the same 20 round box they bought 15 years ago if not longer. Lucky if they shoot a round or two to sight in once a year and maybe another for a deer.
I think he means we're similarly waiting on a motive for the mass shooting at the Country music festival in Vegas a few years back. FBI, CIA, local law enforcement all just have shrugged their shoulders and said we have no idea why this relatively well-to-do guy had a bunch of guns and ammo in...
