I find it interesting that not one of the usual persons here has reacted to this Harris speech post in the typical fashion of pointing out a DJT speech or trying to defend it. This was a "call to arms" against half of America. This speech is unequivocally worse than anything DJT has ever said, and more particularly for which he was impeached (either time).

I agree with you too. If they can be taught to hate, then they have the capacity to be taught not to hate. Deprogramming is a process and not a single conversation or debate.

This is the best advice and precisely how it works. When my brother was a kid he got an excessive noise ticket for his hot rod (headers with open pipes). He plead not guilty and showed up to court with a signed letter from an exhaust shop that on the day of the ticket the exhaust system complied with all NYS codes including noise. The ADA offered him a reduction to a different equipment violation, which he balked at. The ADA then explained to him that he was not walking out of there without paying a fine. It is about the $$$ and not points. You almost always can trade points for $$$. Be polite, respectful, and dress appropriately for the court (even if online), and say something like "I understand there is a cost to the court for these proceedings and I have no objection to paying a fine, my only objection is a moving violation with points."

I have no way of knowing if they are racist or not; as I do not know them. Racists is as racist does. Racists are ignorant by definition, having a belief about someone based on race/physical attribute without knowing anything about the individual person. Racism is always taught, children are not born with it. Your friends seem to have been taught by the MSM. If "they believe it like the word of God and don't question it" (your words), then doesn't that sound like a Nazi, KKK member, Al-Queda, etc.

Agree and feel the same regarding term limits. I even advocate a minimum age of 28-30 years. This allows the potential politician to get a college degree, military service, & real world/life employment experience. I also advocate for an age maximum (undecided on what but max at 65). This country does not need geriatrics like Pelosi and McConnell. They have lost touch with reality and the populace. Perhaps your friends have unfortunately drank the kool aid and are brainwashed. Interesting story. An acquaintance of mine who is white (A) has a friend who is non-white (B). A and B fish together and socialize and consider each other good friends. B had a 4th of July party and did not invite A. A was upset and confronted B. B advised that he did not invite him because Bs other friends and family are racist and he did not want to expose A to it. Racism is perpetrated by ALL races, not just whites.

I was referring to the Giuliani press conferences on this (I won't repeat his theory); not what you have just posted regarding mail-in.

Give DEC the power = logical. Legislators giving up power to DEC = illogical

Hmmm! Roughly half the country voted for Trump. So, does this sound like the words of a Unification Leader or a Genocide Leader? Appreciate the Dems see Trump as Hitler and his voters as Nazis so this speech to them is morally justified. Equally, the Reps see this speech is exactly the vitriol Hitler preached about those he didn't agree with and his "voters" were Nazis, so this speech to them is morally reprehensible. Additionally, using current standards, this sure sounds like threatening hate speech. Can you impeach a VP? Can you censor a VP? Should her social media accounts be locked?

Election fraud happens in every election. That is a fact everyone needs to acknowledge or you are being dishonest or naive. Is it "widespread"? Well, if one district in each state had some fraud, it arguably could be called "widespread". IMO, "widespread" is not so important. What is important is the magnitude of the fraud, district wise or collectively. Essentially, would the extent of the fraud change the outcomes? Everything I have heard & seen so far sounds a bit far fetched and not proof of a stolen election. I am not condoning this and would fully support election securities to further prevent or stop election fraud of any kind. Secure honest elections are necessary for a democracy.

The Governor on down is to blame for ANTIFA/Portland, not Trump or Biden. Federal troops cannot go into a state unless the Governor expressly requests it of POTUS. This is the law of our republic. This is the same BS political move they pulled on Busch with Hurricane Katrina. The Governor never requested troops, Busch could not send them, and then the MSM labeled Busch a racist for not sending troops.

I find it interesting that yesterday the WH Press secretary announced Biden was going to go after Domestic Violence Groups, create a list, and a LE communication network to share information. At the same time, ANTIFA is raging in Portland, with no mention.

...and doomed to repeat it!

Agree, it can be, provided the bucks are on a known feeding pattern that you are aware of. If just going in "blind", appreciate vegetation is still very thick and more luck (right place, right time) than anything. Depending on your area, also consider it is warm(er), so very early & late movement and more ticks.

This will NEVER EVER pass. First, this law currently does not even exist for LE. Second, there are states that do not require a permit for concealed carry, and all the language is around permits. If it ever did, it would be nullified by local laws. Think about it. A NYS carry permit is not valid in NYC. You will have all your local governments passing laws against concealed carry.

Understandable. When I saw the video, I appreciated this is our Capitol and our government, and was reminded of the acronym SNAFU! Also, sorry if you do not know what it means, it's too vulgar to print out.

What do you expect from a government that considers our servicemen and women, potential domestic terrorists?

Anything they want! Have spare gasoline, diesel, or kerosene, in a can? Have any fertilizer for your garden? Batteries? Yep, bomb making materials.

IMO, this is the MAIN (and possibly only) reason this has not passed in the past. Only Archers are opposed to it, and those that hunt private land shouldn't be affected.

DISCLAIMER: I do not know the validity of this:

...and it is exactly this type of journalism in the MSM (CNN, FOX, etc) that causes distrust and justifiably earns the label Fake News. Fake News doesn't need to be entirely false facts, it includes reporting with opinions, omissions, and deception.

Your description well describes a cult and those that have "drank the kool-aid". All the politicians are pseudo cult leaders and blindly following the political party is like being in a cult. There is clearly some of this, as well as what I call tribalism. My tribe is either Dem or Rep and I need to defend "my tribe". We all would be better served with some self-reflection to make sure that is not our behavior. We all should be objectively debating, policies, plans, and actions; and the pros and cons of same for America.

It also has no established residency eligibility requirement. The poor and disabled from other states are eligible for NY Medicaid benefits the very day they come to NY and make this their new residence. Isn't this a wonderful business model for NY? NY has a benefits package to attract poor and disabled from other states and at the same time a tax package that drives business, employment, and retirement to other states!

This is only good in theory. You actually do not get the best of both worlds. Here are the problems. The comb height of the stock will not be ideal for both and shooting consistently will suffer. An open sight firearm has a comb height (low) to match. Ideally, you want your scope mounted as low as possible, so line of sight and trajectory are optimized, and Over/Under sights do the opposite, they elevate scopes and the comb height is insufficient for proper fit/cheek weld. Longer distance shooting requires more precision/fit. The Over/Under sights also surround the open sight picture diminishing field of view and creating tunnel vision. The best solution is an appropriate quality low power scope as explained by SpacemanSpiff above and properly setting it up as explained by Culver Creek Hunt Club above.

SNH I too am a hunter and fisherman and feel the same way. When I am out there I am in complete peace and have no worries on my mind. Just truly being in the moment and part of nature. The experience and memories lasting a lifetime. The best response to people is "if I have to explain it you won't understand"; only like minded people understand. I agree it is PRICELESS and to me that explains and justifies all the money and time I spend in these pursuits.
