    Even the IMF is worried biden is spending money he doesn't

    They've been spending money they don't have for decades. That's where inflation comes from. What they're doing now is opening the flood gates past what the system can absorb. It's like immigration. We've always had immigration. Society can absorb a fair amount of immigration essentially...

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    Realistically, at the 10 yards or less range of home defense, it's almost irrelevant what the shotgun is loaded with. The wad is barely going to open. If you get hit with an ounce of lead in a little plastic cup going 1500fps, it doesn't really matter what size balls the ounce of lead is...

    In theory it was a good thing. That's when Trump was pushing it, during the development stage. But, Biden took over before anyone really knew what that rapid development produced. And Biden is 100% responsible for the mandates. If the vax had just been bad, but not mandated, the whole thing...

    Pro Hamas student groups should be treated like neo Nazis on campus. They have a right to speak, but the second they cross the line they should have the hammer brought down. And every other student on campus should look on their members as pariahs.

    Was at church and had a thought… (guns in church ..or something)

    The glock is the Toyota Corolla of the gun world. It's not sexy. Nobody hot rods them, but they just keep doing their basic job adequately and reliably forever. For the car, it's transporting you where you need to go. For the glock, it's putting holes in things at a distance.

    They wouldn't even need a warrantless search. They would just post some of the vile crap on a message board that's "on their radar" from your IP, then their "ongoing investigation" would get a warrant based on that. First you would know about any of it is when the SWAT team shoots your dog.

    Activist makes threats to council. Thought She Could Get Away w/ Saying This Till She Was Arrested

    The *only* way to win a war is to make the enemy lose their will to fight it. Doesn't matter how much you outclass them militarily, if you can't eliminate their will to fight you can't win. The best you can do is degrade their ability to hurt you, but you can't win. That is why the US "hearts...

    Then they should advertise when it happens, not conceal it. Part of maintaining public trust is cultivating a sense that there is accountability. You do not build trust by insisting that you never make mistakes. You build trust by demonstrating that you pay appropriately when you do.

    That's how escalation works. It's a giant game of chicken. The only way to win is to make the other guy afraid you're willing to go farther than he is. That's why projecting weakness, as Biden does, is a death sentence. It doesn't matter how big a stick you carry if the enemy thinks you're...
