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...
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.
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.
Then they would break into your house and stash a box of Polaroids under your bed.
The fact you have no internet would be used to label you as a nut job.
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.
There is lots of money left to launder through Ukraine. They won't be allowed to lose anytime soon.
It's possible that Russia might be allowed to win eventually, that's the best way to cover up the laundering.
They could run Lenin's rotting corpse, with Mao'd corpse as his running mate and the Democrats would be "he's too centrist for me, but we have to vote against Trump".
Deport them to Iran.
They can find out how they deal with an "occupy the dean's office" situation LOL.
Wonder if either of them could keep their traps shut long enough to avoid getting stoned to death.
95% have always been distracted, but bread and circuses will only ever go so far.
Just because they moved the circuses from the coliseum to twitch doesn't change the end result.
Police departments tend to try to keep incidents of internal discipline out of the public eye. They think they make them look bad.
That is a mistake, it makes them look unaccountable instead.
When I first saw the title of the post I thought it said Soros, I got excited....
If you want a good movie some time, catch an early Tommy Lee Jones in this:

Even with those disasters it's still far safer than the alternatives.
Coal plants actually release *more* radiation into the environment than nuclear plants, including the disasters.
So, unless you think the rate of nuclear disasters is going to drastically increase, then they still are the...
How about a program where the "progressives" put their money where their mouths are.
They have 2 months to find a legal resident "sponsor" who will feed and house them.
Let's see how fast the excuses pile up on the left for why someone *else* should house them, "but mu summer home isn't...
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 the trick.
With the modern surveillance state, literally *everyone* is on their radar.
They have divided the populace into 2 groups, suspected terrorists, and potential suspected terrorists.
The word I always thought was the best description of them was "crybullies".
They act like cry babies and whine and throw tantrums, but they do it to bully people.
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...
We didn't really make a major difference in WWI. Not like WWII anyway.
It would have turned out the same with or without us.
That one was all Europe. If they hadn't screwed up the resolution so badly, WWII might have been avoided, but I don't think they would have done any differently if we...
Not all at once.
But, if they defeated Europe (and Russia), then certainly they would have been here inside of 10 years.
Remember, they wouldn't be invading from just Germany. They would have all that conquered land to invade from.
They might have decided to establish a foothold in south or...
100% guaranteed he would have come after the US.
His entire regime was predicated on an expansionist war.
Nazi Germany was destined to collapse, the only question was whether they would conquer the world and collapse from the lack of enemies, or die trying first.
NAZI Germany could not...
Oh, I stand corrected, I did mention him.
I still stand by the comment that if it wasn't him it would have been some other guy like him.
Maybe some details would have changed, but probably not much important.
Maybe those mustaches would still be popular, who knows.
It's a safe bet the Jews...
The Iranian government stole the election ?
I'm sure having Biden vs Trump in office has greatly improved the situation for them, but I just think it's a bit beyond their means to pull off.
*we* could certainly conceal a missile launcher on a cargo ship. We've done a lot more complicated...
They can certainly launch from a cargo ship, but concealing it is a different matter.
If they sail a cargo ship into the gulf of Mexico with ballistic missiles on the deck, you can bet we'd have something to say about it.
They would not only have to build a ship that could fire the missiles...
I never brought up Hitler. He was irrelevant to the situation. Just like in WWI, Europe was primed to explode.
If it hadn't been Arch Duke Ferdinand, or Hitler, it would have been some other event and some other cult leader.
Honestly we're *lucky* Hitler was the one who came to power...
Ooh, an alliance with *Russia*. Throw North Korea in there too and they're not even a serious threat to France.
Russia is not the big bad that they used to be, their showing in Ukraine has proven that.
China is the only real long term threat we face.
We need to stop acting like we're scared...
The military equipment that would do that is not susceptible to an EMP.
There are literally planes and satellites that are specifically designed to do that.
EMP doesn't work the way Hollywood portrays it. You'd be surprised what sorts of stuff would survive one.
There is a direct chain of command in Hamas to Teheran.
It's not "influence". It's "my commanding officer is in Teheran".
Netanyahu doesn't take orders from Biden. He may have to pay attention to what Biden says because the US us very influential, but ultimately Netanyahu doesn't have to...
Not remotely to the same extent.
Hamas literally takes orders and gets their funding directly from Teheran.
The leaders of Isreal are in Isreal. They are strongly influenced by the US, but they are independent.
The leaders of Hamas are *not* in Gaza. There is a direct chain of command...
We could supply all our own oil (and we did under Trump) But that is not enough to be independent from the global oil market.
Because we require goods produced by many countries that have no prayer of being independent from middle eastern oil, and we don't have the capacity to supply them...
The act is the legislation that creates the law.
Every federal law in the US is created by an act.
It's true that not every act creates criminal law, but the NFA most certainly did.
It may be an illegitimate law, but it's a law none the less.
*possession* of an unregistered machine-gun aka a glock switch is a federal crime punishable by 10 years and a $100,000 fine.
He doesn't need to do anything more than get caught with it.
So, we get to test our stuff in a real world environment, that's good.
But, *they* got valuable data about how we shoot down their missiles, that's not so good.
Overall, I think they probably learned more than we did from the encounter.
