    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I, too, have the shame of being married to a non-transgender woman. My wife, being the good person that she is, has resolved to fix this. She plans to transition to a man, then transition back to a woman again. She will then be a non-non-non-transgender woman, and I will once again be able to...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I've seen two interesting comments about these numbers on social media so far: (1) Vote tallies are not complete. There are still >10 million uncounted votes. Once they are counted, the 2024 numbers will look more like the 2020 numbers. (This at least sounds plausible, although so many...

    The college scam is coming to a head far faster than most people realize. Thanks to ChatGPT and other AI software, cheating in liberal arts courses is approaching 100%. Universities are in a complete panic. You think a liberal arts degree is worthless now? Just wait a few years when the...

    No one "has" responsibility. They EARN responsibility. And blaming others for their lot in life due to the poor choices they made is a prime reason why they are unable to earn it.

    I'll be completely honest - I was skeptical of the chart when I first saw it, thinking it was perhaps another social media meme with bogus numbers. So I went and looked at the voter totals. All I can say is ... crap. Somewhere, somehow, at the height of a pandemic, 16 million extra voters...

    And in fact, voters in several states did pass laws to loosen abortion restrictions. Again, a matter of individual state law. That's how this country was meant to run.

    The Senate has gone to the Republicans. News flash: the filibuster has once again become sacrosanct to the Democrats.

    To me, the most interesting aspect is that the Democratic surge from the end of Roe v. Wade clearly ran out of steam. The economy and immigration were what drove the results.

    I must say that it's surprising to see how Trump is not only winning the Electoral College, but the popular vote as well. That says something about how thoroughly the Democrats screwed the pooch. This is turning into a pretty decisive victory. Gonna need a lot of popcorn watching how people...

    When CNN's main headline is "Early wins are no bellwether", then you can be somewhat confident that things are not looking good for Kamala and the rest of the Democrats.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'd wondered why CNN has switched over to shrieking "Trump is Hitler reincarnated!" over the past few days. The media must be freaking out over the swing state polls. You have to give the media credit for giving Kamala as much momentum as they did, but it isn't going to be enough. The economy...

    Read the rest of her biography. It's far worse than that. Yes, she managed Global Security for PepsiCo before being hired as director of the USSS, but prior to that she spent 27 years as a Secret Service agent. This is a woman who has had nearly 30 years of experience in the Secret Service...

    The media is already making a thing of him being registered as a Republican, but for a 20-year-old who has never voted in a presidential election, it's meaningless. He gave money to a Democratic PAC, which perhaps says more about his personal opinions. But I suspect that Crooks was just...

    My guess is that she was outside, with the door propped open by the rock. She saw the shooter, panicked, pulled open the door, and ran inside without kicking the rock out of the way. By the time she realized her mistake, it was far too late.

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's possible that the shooter saw the open door when he first arrived and headed straight towards it, assuming it would be unlocked. Or it is possible that the door was never actually closed in the first place. The teacher saw someone with a gun headed towards her, panicked, and ran. It is...

    2nd Amendment thread

    What she specifically did was prop open the door with a rock. Then when the shooter came on campus, she claims she kicked away the rock and closed the door, but it didn't lock. (Probably because there were still flakes or dirt from the rock in the bottom of the door frame that prevented it...

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's all bluster at this point. I predict that not a single legislative measure for limiting access to firearms will get an ounce of traction. Legislation to further harden schools against attackers may get approved, however. The MSM made its mistake by obsessing over the failure of Uldave...

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's a good essay, but the author's reasoning has some gaps. There are different types of force, some of which a personal weapon are essentially useless against. For example, consider economic force. If I suddenly find that my access to the use of the Internet and the use of credit cards has...

    You're not wrong. Trump really screwed the pooch. He is (in my opinion) directly responsible for the Georgia senate victories by the Democrats. Trump had every right to file suits challenging the results of the state elections. And he also had good reason to suspect hanky-panky in the whole...

    Only to a point. The media can't spin the price of gasoline doubling if Biden bans fracking and offshore drilling. Nor can it spin employers telling their employees, "We have to lay you off because we can't afford to pay the costs of the new regulations imposed by the Department of Labor."...

    It hardly matters at this point. Too many people want a particular narrative to be true, therefore it will be true. There is no way any court cases will make it through the system before the meeting of the Electoral College. What will happen is that over the next few months you'll see...

    Four years ago, I would have agreed with your assessment about Democratic strategy. But I think the party has gone too far off the deep end since 2020. When you have senior party officials seriously talking about a fundamental restructuring of our government and economy, it's not just word...

    Agreed. Like many, I'm disappointed with the way the presidential election is turning out. Is voter fraud going on? No doubt. It was inevitable with the mail-in ballots. You've got states like California where someone can walk in the door of the election office carrying a sack of filled...
