For years, then-Senator Joe Biden had little net worth; until he struck it rich when he became vice president under Barack Obama. Now he has four homes and his immediate family are all doing very well. We know about Hunter Biden, including his addictions and other “issues.” Getting a position on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian oil and gas company, was an awesome coincidence, eh? He had no experience in the oil and gas field. But … he did have a dad who was vice president. Hunter’s gig almost went south as Burisma was under investigation for corruption, until his dad stepped in and threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid if Ukraine didn’t fire the prosecutor. Biden later bragged about it. Still, nothing to see. Hunter flew on Air Force Two with his father and made big deals with Chinese firms tied directly to the Communist government.

So this is New York State Logic. My daughter recently used the NYS Thruway. They no longer collect tolls, so they sent a bill for .28 cents. They paid .38 cents postage, printed a bill put it in one envelope and enclosed another for the return payment. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you?

China changed the one child rule because the people want boys and for 25 years they have been aborting baby girls in favor of boys. Now there is an entire generation of Chinese men of marriage age who cannot find a mate. That's a fact. That's what their one child policy did. Communists societies have no use for the old or feeble, considering them bad for the collective. In China, they are becoming expendable, when they were once revered. That's communism at work. Leftist Democrats have been in bed with the Chinese for years now. To say they aren't is ignorant.

If you were well versed in geopolitics, you wouldn't be so skeptical. Failure to consider all possibilities proves one doesn't have an investigative mind and can be easily manipulated. If one finds this funny, it's a sign of naivety.

Absolutely not. But I try to do it in a professional manner, without venom or snarky comments. I can debate any issue in a civil manner and stick to facts when I do so. But when I'm attacked in an uncivil, unprofessional, mocking manner, because the commentator cannot refute what I post with facts, I will defend myself at a level they deserve. That post is aimed directly at leftists who have spoiled all civil debate with a hateful agenda. The current hatred in US politics is coming from the left, and that is where it began. Conservatives are just now starting to respond to their hate in the same manner I have described above.

The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, enough to warrant further investigation. Any reasonable person would see that. Why are leftists so hell bent on stopping one then?

I recall hearing that when we were saying the virus originated in the Wuhan lab. Time will tell, so hold onto your hat.

Looks great. That old boy is just itching to shoot a nice buck now.

Yet the leftists try to stop it with baseless accusations of "voter suppression". That's a lie, and they know it, but clueless people believe it.

Nothing leftists do would surprise me. Leftists are evil.

It can be seen as a big victory that a federal judge struck down California's assault weapons ban. Dr. John R. Lott, Jr. PhD served as the expert for the plaintiffs while the state had three different experts on its side. While the judge approvingly quotes Lott's conclusion, he was very critical of the other experts, declaring that they did not accurately describe other research or improperly manipulated statistics to get the result they wanted. But this is just the beginning of the battle. The California Attorney General will immediately appeal the decision to the Democrat-dominated 9th Circuit. The case might then possibly head to the US Supreme Court. All gun owners owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. John R. Lott, Jr., as he is the most effective pro-gun advocate involved in this fight today. He is a man on our side that has the data to prove there are lies being used against us.

"The Biden administration has recently called for a 90-day intelligence community review into the origins of the pandemic, which is welcome news for those of us who have called COVID-19 a 'Chinese Chernobyl' demanding serious geopolitical accountability since day one — but sad news for those who may have presumed a modicum of intellectual honesty from our political elites. American politics is currently in the throes of a populist moment. That populist moment is characterized by widespread distrust of elites and a perceived ever-widening chasm between the ruling class's prerogatives and the wishes of the American people at large. As we finally begin to emerge from COVID-19, that chasm will only grow wider. The ruling class has finally sullied itself one time too many." —Josh Hammer

"As a society, we are growing increasingly self-interested. Citizenship brings responsibility beyond self-interest. ... The social and cultural segregation in our country is directly contributing to the coarseness of our national culture and politics. We no longer just disagree in America; we vilify those who don't share our views. ... When you have little interaction with those who don't share your background or beliefs, it's easy to view them as caricatures. It becomes easier to demonize or marginalize them. This results in the sort of fissures we have in America today and the normalization of summary political violence; we've all seen it. Left to fester, these dynamics lead to the downfall of societies." —Neil Patel

With the cold and rainy weather around here this spring, I'd be surprised if any poults survived this year. Maybe this is the reason we are seeing fewer turkey in the Catskills every year.

Global economic indicators for 2020 show every country in the world suffered a 10 to 20% reduction in their economy because of the pandemic, except for China. It's economy gained 15% in 2020. That is a lot to consider a coincidence and elevates suspicion this was totally intentional. When the facts point to possible intent, why are the Dems and the leftists in the US so averse to any investigation into the matter? Could it be they are all in bed with the communists with regards to China dominating the world?

But implementation of the order has been delayed in order to give the state time to appeal it. That will set the case up for eventual SCOTUS review. That is where the ruling will matter. The sad part is, when it is ruled unconstitutional to ban "black rifles and large cap mags" after 30 years of tyranny, what recourse is there for the millions of victims who suffered very real damages under these unconstitutional laws?

What do they die of in areas where there are no predators? Wouldn't the causes they die from without predators, still be present where there are predators? Stands to reason that would make the fawn mortality higher in areas with predators. Unless the predators cancel out the other causes, but that would seem unlikely. Do fawns die at 40% in areas where they are protected? Doesn't seem logical fawn mortality would be the same in areas with predation.
