  1. As I understand it, it’s also full of propaganda, which to me, is much worse than the tracking and information collection. Still, with no jurisdiction over China, the only people who could be prosecuted would be Americans. And it will likely meet a degree of failure due to the market for it, that has been established.
  2. I hate those calls. I maintain that instead of the ref awarding points, the match should be restarted with the non-offending wrestler getting choice of position, like after injury time. Like in football or basketball, we can move you closer to the goal line or give you a free throw, but you have to do the actual scoring yourself.
  3. Fix majored him 11-3 in January, if that helps any.
  4. Yet, Adum Schift is likely headed to the Senate. And there’s still some question about who’ll count the votes.
  5. It’s going to be a hard road back, if it’s not too late.
  6. Proof that Trump’s not only up against an unethical prosecutor, but an unethical judge as well.
  7. I can’t think of anything we’ve been able to legislate out of existence but it hasn’t kept us from trying. I have no doubt that it will eventually be abused, but it’s worthwhile to protect the kids. If only they were getting the Chinese model where it’s social media for two hours during the evening and school studies the rest of the day.
  8. That would be correct, but unlawful has been irrelevant for a while.
  9. If you could change the subject to anything you wanted, what would it be?
  10. Oh my! I would have never guessed you’d have a dim view of common sense. /s
  11. This is one of the guys that was vetted before being allowed to buy his own airline ticket to enter the U.S.
  12. Contusions, lacerations, and abrasions - bruises, scratches, scrapes. You won’t get through childhood -or a cat fight - without them.
  13. If you analyze your own argument you’ll realize that you are making my argument for me. American debt would not cause worldwide inflation, yet it exists. In this case, the policy Biden took caused the price at the pump to more than double. That increased cost had to be covered by every producer of everything. From the farmer’s tractor, the miner’s bulldozer, every shipper’s vehicle, to every employee’s transportation to and from work. The electric company and even the water company had to raise prices to cover the increased costs of energy and every employer had to then increase wages so their employees could cope with their increased expenses. The spiral was started and it has not stopped. Your suggestion has limited likelihood of success as it would decrease the amount of available capital, a necessary step in correcting the problem, but only minimally. If you want to jumpstart the correction, Biden’s proposed corporate tax hikes will help. Together they would speed up the reduction of discretionary spending consumers are already participating in and it would force corporations to take the steps to reduce expenses that they’ve already begun. Layoffs. Then recession (that may have already started) then, after time, and some responsible monetary measures, the economy can recover.
  14. It has rebounded, but the spiral began in 2021. Saudi has cut production and sanctions have taken some off the market. Increased petroleum prices affect the price of everything. Everything in your house, including the house itself, is there as a result of petroleum. Even the electricity. You can see it if you compare a chart of inflation to a chart of oil prices.
  15. Would it be a good idea to carry a gun in case you get robbed by someone who doesn’t have one? You could loan them yours.
  16. While inflation can be caused by, or explained as, too much money chasing too few goods, in this run it is more driven by increased costs. Energy costs. Caused by Biden’s policies on petroleum production. He restricted production as much as he could and took a larger chunk of the profits. The money the gov’t hands out is an aggravation, not the driver. But the spiral has begun, and if history is any guide, it won’t end without much suffering.
  17. Well, new evidence shows the CIA has turned on the American people… https://revolver.news/2024/03/new-evidence-shows-the-cia-has-turned-on-the-american-people/
  18. Without raising what rates? Interest, tax, unemployment? Fat chance. Must mean crime rates.
  19. Hunter Biden, partners aided Chinese bid to corner nuclear energy market with U.S. tech, memos show https://justthenews.com/government/security/documents-show-biden-team-efforts-help-chinese-company-corner-nuclear-energy Reminiscent of the Clintons.
  20. Children to stop getting puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, says NHS England https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/abolish-second-amendment-deploy-national-guard-for-mass-gun-confiscation-says-defense-department-official-caught-on-camera/ss-BB1jTo6D
  21. Yes it is. The girl needed help and didn’t get it. However, the official story, the truth, bears no resemblance to the insinuation of your OP. And as long as people like you continue to act like you, the problem will never be resolved.
  22. Yeah. You know how to keep your lawyer out of your wife’s pants, don’t you? _____________________________________________________________________________ Don’t let him rummage around in her wardrobe.
  23. I agree, but the story is that Nex was the one that initiated the assault - pouring or throwing water on the girls that were laughing at her. The opinions should have been left out and covered in another article should they become newsworthy. I don’t subscribe to the publication.
  24. Hasn’t this thread followed the typical lifecycle of a vak, wkn, tpt, uncle ben offering? Ever seen a correction? Mea culpa?
