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...

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...

At first blush, it sounds great, but I shudder to thinik what a Democrat-designed gun safety curriculum would look like. "Guns are bad, report your parents to the government."

That cop is lucky the perp didn't carry condition 1. And, from what I can see, doubly lucky that the perp failed to rack the gun properly on his first attempt. If you watch carefully, right before he points the gun at the cop, he attempts to rack the gun, points, then pulls the trigger - you can...

You greatly misunderstand what I meant by "we are not a nice presence." I wasn't talking about our manners. I was talking about the rapes, robberies, beatings, murders, and all sorts of other shit that occurs and are rarely held to account, or in some cases are even sanctioned. Particularly and...

I dunno about that. Bin Laden's primary (and explicitly stated) goal was to get the US out of Saudi Arabia specifically, and the Middle East in general. In other words, he was motivated almost entirely by our lack of isolationism. When we put soldiers in other countries, we're often not very...

I think that, regardless of whatever tomfoolery took place before the video, this would be a good shoot... in a free state. In NY, though? He could have driven off by going around the right side of the stopped car. I'm not saying that's right - I support Stand Your Ground - but we don't have...

I agree that the government should not be in the business of marriage, that their authority should end at civil unions. But let's be realistic here: we're playing semantics. Civil unions would bestow all of the same legal benefits, and plenty of religions support gay marriage, plus anyone can...

Should have and would have, sure. Could have? I dunno, NY has been dominated by liberals for as long as I can remember. Any exceptions - such as Pataki, or when Republicans controlled the NY Senate - seem to have just been RINOs.

lol... no shit, Sherlock. That doesn't make it any less disgusting, and it completely misses the point. The proper answer to a large landmass ruled by a concentration of population is to separate the two to ensure adequate representation of interests. The reality is that upstate and downstate...

I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal this past weekend, stuffed 5 people and had 5 huge belly-busting leftover meals for the freezer. Turkey, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, stuffing, corn, asparagus, gravy. I am pretty sure I spent no more than $25 on the entire meal. $11 for the turkey...

It's in court right now...

From that article: 13 counties. 13 counties out of 62 are what chose our governor. Disgusting.

Even before the recent-ish court decision, many non-residents had licenses by following the method. The law did not prohibit non-residents from possessing a license, it prohibited non-residents from applying for a license. And the only thing the law said about a resident moving was that they...

I've always been surprised that no one has started coming out with vacuum-sealed clothing. Infinity % improvement over trapped-air insulating. I mean, I get some of the technical barriers. I just figure someone somewhere would have figured something out to get around them.

Picked up a .30-06 with a scope from a gun raffle the other day. That's three guns from two raffles in the past year, all large caliber rifles, which is something I was lacking. I hacked this raffle. 10 guns, only 500 tickets. I bought 10 tickets, which gave me an 18.26% chance of winning at...

The thing is, policies don't override the law. Anyone can write a policy and it can stand until it's tested in the courts. Also working against them is the term "reasonable suspicion." It's been pretty well defined in courts and definitely has to be more than a hunch. Now, as someone mentioned...

That's the thing, they can't... if they could, they would have already. They had no reasonable suspicion, they just knew he was a gun owner.

Yup. I was always a cream-and-sugar guy, until one day I started working at a garage where we had coffee, but no cream and sugar. A few weeks later, I had a cream-and-sugar coffee and almost spit it out. Crazy how that works.

I hear you on this, and agree. I'm being pragmatic... the reality is, it's politically impossible to get rid of welfare. It's just not going to happen. But we might be able to reduce the cost, fraud, appeal, and nutritional issues. That's worth something... billions, in fact.

I think limiting the per-person carry would prevent that. Say, one bag of potatoes, one bag of rice, etc. Enough to last weeks or a month, even, but not enough to make collecting and shipping worth the cost.

I have a plan that would ensure no one would go hungry, and would save us 80%+ of the costs of our current programs. I call it the "beans and rice" plan, and it is pretty similar to what you're saying here. Basically, in every area, there should be a warehouse filled with bags of quality staple...

Really depends on how the payouts go. If a payout is inversely proportional to income, then I'm against it. If a payout is proportional to taxes paid in, I'm for it. That's the difference between wealth transfer and tax reduction.

AI lies, all the time. I used it to search for something for work, and it just made up some complete bullshit. It claimed software libraries that don't exist, did :ROFL:
