  1. Perot ran with James Stockdale as his VP. If you have an hour for some of the most entertaining bumbling on a debate stage, including Dan Potatoe Quayle, this is your baby. He was such a laughing stock that Homer Simpson wore the "Stockdale for Veep" shirt.
  2. New facility may be coming. https://unipanthers.com/news/2023/10/2/wrestling-uni-expands-our-tomorrow-fundraising-campaign-to-include-new-wrestling-training-facility.aspx
  3. I can always respect that. It may not seem like it but I have a ton of topics I don't speak to because I know little to nothing about.
  4. Try doin this in a small town.
  5. Any idealized concept of "checks and balances" today has nothing to do with three branches. It's all about one party checking another party. That's why Republican Congresspeople protect Republican Presidents/"presidenrts," regardless how outside the bounds of the Constitution and/or law one or the other is.
  6. I'm like you, bro! Jalapenos are pretty much my limit these days, but I still like growing peppers.
  7. And not designed as such.
  8. I appreciate your posts.
  9. That's a different matter than what we are all speaking to. This is also exceptionally rare. In states and areas where they are reviewing their bail systems nearly all do not release the most violent offenders. And, yes, this was a bad mistake.
  10. Neither case is speaking to what Husker and others are speaking to. He's saying people aren't being prosecuted. Baloney. The first one the guy posted bond. When has that not happened? Bond has been available to such offenders forever. The second case? Yep, a repeat offender. Nearly 70% of our inmates return upon five years after release.
  11. Because these sentencing guidelines, in place since the 90's, require that inmates serve a minimum number of years for their offenses. In Iowa, for instance, first degree is mandatory life in prison and everyone is prosecuted. No violent crimes are being excused, outside of not guilty verdicts.
  12. Well, less of it, in fact, is not being penalized. However, if that was the case, yes, it would be awful. No one would support that.
  13. That would be false because of mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines. The crimes are indeed being prosecuted, as or burgeoning prison population testifies to.
  14. Although I don't play the stupidity game of "red state vs. blue state, " (whatever that means), but without looking and going by what has almost always been true, homicide rates are higher in red states than blue states. Those numbers have always perfectly tracked with homicide rates by firearms. Much higher in red states.
  15. None of what you say is correct, nor singular. Trends also don't just happen overnight.
  16. False. The rising homicide rate began in 2019.
  17. Look no further than Inmate # PO1135809 and your support for his crime spree.
  18. No dispute here and no need to "educate" the eggakator. Yes, as an anomaly, the past three years have seen a temporary uptick in the homicide rate, which I could tell you too. HOWEVER, people are talking crime rates in this thread and all over Tattletale "News" and AM radio, which have been in freefall for thirty years. In fact, the homicide rate was following the same freefalling trend as were overall crime rates over the same time period. Again, it's a temporary blurb, and no indication of ANY trend, as the homicide rate will resume its freefall again in short order.
  19. It seems like it in the past.
  20. Must be why people are being apprehended at the border as I write this, eh? Fantasy is reality and reality is fantasy.
  21. That has a LONG history, my friend! " I want America to fail. "- Rush Shut Up And Put The Bone Back In Your Nose And Go Back To Africa Limburger. I'll also add that "presidential" advisor, HUD McVeigh Hannity goes into a three hour long blind, screaming rage when good economic reports hit.
