  1. Sometimes the locals will even burn your camp down... https://www.gofundme.com/f/brandon-butlers-cabin-burned-down-by-poacher
  2. That’s definitely better for the deer (I hope chef is taking notes)
  3. An essential read, regardless of your politics: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/21/trump-civil-war-reconstruction-biden-lost-cause-461161
  4. A reminder that the FBI and DHS report condemning white supremacy was written by white Republican men. (Was this sufficiently demure for your delicate sensibilities, @Northcountryman )
  5. Who would’ve guessed that not only is huntingNY home to the highest online concentration of constitutional scholars but it is also chock-full of solipsists.
  6. Perhaps, but it certainly doesn’t elevate Breitbart to the real news category. The 24hr news cycle is nobody’s friend. Nevertheless, the onus is on each of us to discern between rigorous journalism and clickbait.
  7. It’s been reported widely, by both left and right leaning journalists. News and media literacy is not a trivial matter. It’s difficult and it takes practice to become good at finding reputable and rigorous news sources. Everything that has ever been written has a perspective and intent, no matter how small or benign it may be. Know that and proceed with caution. Read broadly. Understand that Facebook and other similar distributors of media are in the business of compelling you to click and are generally disinterested in education or informing you.
  8. This “what about them” argument you keep trying to make fails every time. I don’t support rioting, looting, or violence. What you continue to misconstrue as Democratic support for violence is incorrect. I, and most Americans, support the calls for racial justice. This is not equivalent to supporting violence or rioting. The side you’re in support of has no moral equivalence once you remove the violence. The “peaceful protesters” at the capital are marching for something that is demonstrably false. Democrat and Republican leadership have denounced Trump’s pathetic attempt to change the election outcome and are on record stating that Trump fed lies in an active disinformation campaign. I’ll give you another cheat sheet: Violence from the left: disavow Violence from the right: disavow Peaceful calls for racial justice: support Cries of election fraud: wholly discredited by the very Republicans who lost
  9. Whoa! A lot of panties in a bunch over the indisputable and lamentable existence of extremist white supremacy groups. This is what happens when a large, seemingly illiterate, portion of the population gets their news exclusively from Facebook memes.
  10. Yup, it’s definitely in there, you missed it. Try again. If you still can’t find it, I’ll give you a hand later. (Hint: the official report even has plots for you). In the interim, if you find yourself confused, here’s a cheat sheet. lizard people: not a concern white supremacy: a real concern
  11. Same thing. https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/2020_10_06_homeland-threat-assessment.pdf
  12. Trump’s DHS found white supremacy groups to be the greatest terror threat to the US. There’s plenty of documentation on this. Here’s one link: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/04/white-supremacists-terror-threat-dhs-409236
  13. You’re being willfully blind if you don’t see a difference in the moral fabric of Biden vs Trump. Biden isn’t perfect, far from it. But there’s a reason both parties breathed a sigh of relief today. The nation and the world are markedly better off today than they were yesterday. Rejoice.
  14. I agree. Politicians are a different breed and one would be naïve to expect them to not sway with the trappings of the job. There's nonstop posturing and procedural gestures aimed at little more than vying for next election's vote. The problem arises when the private ambitions of the individual overrides the public obligations of the position. We clearly saw that happen with Trump. That's behind us now.
  15. I clarified your point. This wasn't merely partisan bickering... it was a president who would pretend to solve issues that he himself initiated. One side clobbered him for it while the other, ever shrinking, side illustrated spineless sycophancy. But don't despair, today is a beautiful day, for America once more has a president worthy of her.
  16. Leupold advertises a muzzleloader scope. What are the spec differences between a muzzleloader scope versus a regular riflescope?
