There are multiple state in the US that can take you over 8 hours at Freeway speed to travel through depending on your chosen route. As to the Wall, Biden stopped it initially. However there have been some reports recently that he has quietly re-started construction in some small very limited...

You forgot Nevada. Or as some like to call it, East California.

In Nevada we have a so called "Make My Day" law. In essence it says that any person on your property uninvited, is presumed to be there to harm you. To my knowledge, this law has NOT been tested in court. You have to take many things into account. is the intruder of sufficient size to be...

This is exactly what is happening on the local and state levels ahead of the Mid-term election later this year. Once control of the US Congress is removed from the Democrats, then steps can be taken to possibly replace Biden (Impeachment, 25th Amendment, pressure to resign etc.)

"Social Media" is a bit of a misnomer. There is very little about it that is "social."

I agree. I feel less free now that I have at any time in my 63 years of life.

I am reading this at 7:30AM. Before I have finished my first coffee. This is WAYYYYY to deep a thought for this time of the morning.

As far as I am aware, ALL Russian papers are controlled by the state. That needs to be factored in to anything they say.

I have my doubts that IF Putin orders a nuclear strike, the personnel operating the launchers would actually carry it out. At least not 100%.

And more people every day are seeing the liberal media for what they are: Shills for the Democrats.

Exactly. It is an outgrowth of the 60's Peace, Love do no harm , movement in my opinion. Kids were raised with those thoughts grew up and were able to set policy etc. It became "harmful to children" if you spanked them. Then it grew to the point where teachers are not even allowed to make a kid...

New rules: All members of Congress must take a High School Civics class with emphasis on what is a Compromise. And they must all read 1984. And write a 5 page (12pt font. single spaced) book report. Only after finishing both tasks can they get paid. And no votes in Congress until completed as...

No problem. I will just repeat your words. You say it very well. My wife is a teacher in an "at-risk" school. (Las Vegas does not have an "inner-city") They are shutting down the district for 5 days due to the Covid surge. 1 Day is MLK day. 2 others are Saturday and Sunday. So really only...
