Trump is also the only president who doesn’t have ancestors who owned slaves, and I don’t care about his, or anybody else’s, skin color.

They’re scheming on ways to get around it. California schools are eliminating test scores as admission standards. There’s talk of using essays where applicants can explain the racial issues they’ve encountered. Something like 12% of this year’s entrants to Stanford are white males. Wonder what percentage are athletes? Biden voted against Clarence Thomas’ appointment, and yes, Biden was the chairman of the committee hearings that Thomas referred to as “a high tech lynching.”

He’s gaining ground even though yutoob is censoring him. Do you think the undemocratics will let Joe debate him?

Now there’s an illuminating contribution.

The absence of the documents is being reported by some reliable sources. CBS for example.

Adum Shiff on board.

Charlie Kirk said they were interesting details. Which of those details do you consider assumptions?

I think the primary significance of this is the BS that’s being laid by the TDS affected.

It obviously put us in grave danger or cnn wouldn’t have released it.

I wasn’t clear, that was a comment below the tweet. The post about Joe and Hunter was in case you and others hadn’t seen the news, but was also in response to Husker Du.

Comment: “ Bill Jacobs @radiobilljacobs Weird how everything has at least a thread that leads to Donald Trump practically every....single....time”

"I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,"

You mean Prigozhin won’t be ordering his troops to lead Pride parades and celebrations?

You can also smoke on a weber type charcoal grill. You build a small fire on one side and put the food on the other. Add wood chips for smoke and turn the food and check the temp occasionally.

I would think the opposite. Most of the smoke flavor comes from the first few hours of smoking. Some people use an oven after the meat is wrapped.

No

Let me get this straight, you believe that after having passed around the original Constitution draft to the colonies, which contains all the wherewithal about national defense and the Commander in Chief and all, the delegates returned with their list of improvements/additions to the Constitution that had been proposed, and one of them was for the nation to be sure and give itself permission to arm and defend itself?

Sounds like something the NRA could get behind.

This is correct. So many laws have been passed. So many laws have not been enforced. Over and over again the only people hindered by them are the law abiding. You can’t even legally buy your kids or grandkids a gift anymore. That helps a lot, I’m sure. Because it doesn’t say: “well regulated shall not be infringed.”

Let me see, we started out with “shall not be infringed” and we’ve gotten less strict?

Some guys like putting the foil wrapped meat in something that’s well insulated, like an ice chest, and let it cool down slowly for up to 8 hours before slicing and eating. This is not entirely necessary, but my brisket qualifies as one of those “you don’t need no teeth to eat my beef”.

Gun culture? They used to teach marksmanship and safety in schools. In scouting. The NRA is still the largest firearm safety instruction group of all. Guess how many mass shooters were members of the NRA.

What “military grade weaponry” is easy to access?

I smoked a 10lb brisket 2 days ago that once sliced, fit easily into a 1 gal. freezer bag.

You get deep into what this thread is evolving to and you’ll find that the majority of the perpetrators had been prescribed behavioral drugs, whether currently or previously. Most were still themselves youthful, like the victims and perpetrators of inner city gang violence, which tends to go un-noted. As for the OP, it’s a clumsy attempt at criticizing those who point out that more people are beaten to death than killed by ALL rifles each year. ALL, as in those that are and those that are not erroneously labeled. Whether this criticism extends to all private ownership of guns or expanding on red flag laws is unclear, though the reference to the NRA is insightful. Personally, I would rather see current gun laws enforced before writing any new ones.
