If 'freedom means banning', we should feel blessed to be so free with everything in our daily lives.
No burden of having to deal with plastic bags.
Gas cans that barely work.
No styrofoam takeout containers.
The list goes on.
I used to boat on Skaneateles Lake when Clinton was in office. Every time he was in town, we could only get signal from one satellite, which couldn't give you position.
This hasn't actually passed yet. Any politician who supports this doesn't take care of their own property. I do have battery powered tools where appropriate, but the number and size of lawns that I take care of can't be done without a gas or diesel mower.
From the link in the article:
NY...
"In February 2024 Judicial Watch received 269 pages of records related to incidents of aggression by Commander, including at least 23 biting incidents."
How many times would your dog have to bite someone before you were forced to put it down?
Ithaca isn't very smart:

This takes me back to when you could make it all the way home with takeout food without the chicken wings leaking through the container. Ah, the good old days.
"In recent years machine gun conversion devices---which can transform an ordinary pistol into an automatic weapon by allowing it to fire as many as 15 rounds in under two seconds---have proliferated across the country."
Well in NY they can only fire 10 in less than 2 seconds.
This is why I voted 'NO' on the proposal that 'everyone has the right to clean air and water'. I knew there was going to be something bad following right after it passed.
Here's an interesting article regarding Mexico:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2024/05/22/mexican-cartels-supplied-trafficked-guns-from-us/73700258007/
"Of the other six top purchasers, half are linked to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives scandal known...
If the numbers are true, it's probably because they finally arrested (and jailed) the small number of dirtbags who were committing the bulk of the crimes. Nothing to do with the effort, just a coincidence.
The high cost of everything makes me forget how good the economy is doing. It's an article like this that reminds me that everything is SO GOOD that every able bodied person is employed and we still have more jobs to fill...
'Police said additional charges are expected and the investigation is continuing into how he acquired the weapons.'
This should be pretty easy. He's required to have a handgun permit, all his handguns should be on his permit and in the NYSP database, and EVERY gun sold in NY requires a...
'The men were arraigned before the Town of Greenburgh Court where they were released on their own recognizance. They are to reappear on May 7, 2024, at 9:00 a.m.'
I wonder if they showed up.
Oops!
I apologize if someone already posted this. I didn't see it.

"Earlier in the day a student walkout took place at Buffalo State University which was peaceful, calling for a ceasefire and for SUNY to divest any interest that they may have with Israel."
First of all, what interest would a SUNY school have with Israel? Secondly, 'that they may have' means...
Will they require us to use new bulbs filled with toxins like the mercury in the CFL's that they forced us to buy? I like LED bulbs, but I don't want to be forced to use them.
If PA insists on having a permit to carry concealed, you can get one if you don't have a criminal record and it's only $20. If charging $20 is racist, or disproportionally affects certain groups, THE STATE can lower the cost to $0, or eliminate the permit requirement altogether. What's more...
I'm a believer. I'm trying to buy a new vehicle. The cost of the same vehicle, same trim, same options, just this year's model is only $18,000 more than what I paid 5 years ago. Also, the lending rate from the same bank is 5% higher.
This has to be good.
Hochul said there was no way she would overrule Engoron’s decision because “we need a clear separation of powers.” She added that “that’s what was envisioned by our Founding Fathers.”
If that's true, how does she explain this...
"Republicans might have a chance to win if they would only learn how to harvest fraudulent votes just like the Democrats do.
Democrats laugh at fair elections.
But I always vote anyway, I figure at least make those bastards work for it."
When I got my Citizenship merit badge in Boy Scouts...
Looks like the US Constitution carries ZERO weight in Hawaii.
The state supreme court concluded: "We reject Wilson's constitutional challenges. Conventional interpretive modalities and Hawaiʻi's historical tradition of firearm regulation rule out an individual right to keep and bear arms under...
The funniest part about the states who support Texas is that NY and IL DON'T support Texas. NYC and Chicago are the LOUDEST complainers about the 'migrants' but don't support Texas in keeping them out. Strange how easily it could be fixed by closing the border, but NY and IL don't support the...
CNN - Facts First: This is highly misleading. Yes, James visited the White House three times after filing the fraud suit against Trump. But she attended events in her official capacity and there’s zero public indication that she personally met with Biden or discussed the Trump investigations...
