  1. Reads to me like it turned yellow and they "think" they can make it before entering the intersection.
  2. Didn't she say he raped her? Did the jury not believe that part? Also, strange that she waited 25 years to bring charges right when he was running for President. I won't defend him but anyone that thinks this is nothing more than a political hit and chooses to ignore the fact that this surfaced at this time for no reason probably still thinks Kavanaugh is guilty. The good news is this is SURELY going to move Trump out of the way so DeSantis can be the next President, right?
  3. [Hidden Content] Hopefully, she'll do a better job as AI czar than she did as border czar...but I doubt it. What an embarrassment to this great country.
  4. [Hidden Content] From the article: The data is in and it’s becoming increasingly clear that the impacts of commercial marijuana industry are even worse than we thought, particularly for America’s young people. A new report released by Smart Approaches to Marijuana shows the reality in "pot-legal states" paints a vastly different picture than the common sales pitch of the industry and supporters of legalization. The marijuana industry, which spent billions to lobby elected officials and bankroll legalization referendum campaigns, is following the playbook pioneered by Big Tobacco. They recognize that the road to big profits runs through the heaviest users. As such, they have increased potency of the drug by more than four times since 1998, hoping to hook kids while they are young and vulnerable. The numbers show that it’s working. Usage rates have reached record highs among those who are most vulnerable to marijuana’s long-term health effects. The National Institute on Drug Abuse warned, "Past-year, past-month, and daily marijuana use (use on 20 or more occasions in the past 30 days) reached the highest levels ever recorded" among those aged 19 to 30. The percentage of 8th, 10th and 12th graders who used marijuana daily has more than tripled between 1991 and 2020. Daily marijuana use is indicative of a marijuana use disorder, also known as addiction to marijuana. For all the talk about how pot is not addictive, in 2021, 1.3 million individuals between the ages of 12 and 17 had a marijuana use disorder, accounting for more than 46% of users in that age group. Legalization is also associated with a 25% increase in marijuana use disorder among them as well. As usage rates, potency and addiction have increased, the adverse effects have also increased. Though supporters of legalization like to downplay the risks of marijuana, the drug caused more than 70,000 individuals younger than 18 to have marijuana-related emergency department visits in 2021. The industry told parents and politicians that they would not target kids. That’s turned out to be false. From "Pot Tarts" to "Stoney Patch Kids," the packaging of edibles laced with high-potency THC often looks like traditional snacks. Not surprisingly, between 2017 and 2021, there was a 1,375% increase in at-home exposures to marijuana edibles involving children younger than 6. More minors are driving under the influence of marijuana too. In 2021, 10.67 million people admitted to driving under the influence of marijuana, including 1.36 million who were between the ages of 16 and 20. There were 2.41 times more minors on the road under the influence of marijuana than were under the influence of alcohol.
  5. 🤦‍♂️ Please stop talking!
  6. That's the dangerous trend, thankfully, we have groups like the NRA-ILA that have been fighting for our Second Amendment rights to stay intact....so far.
  7. I just don't think it will stop a shooter. If I'm pissed at the world and decide to shoot up a school, I'll get a gun. The bill says it would restrict sales of "certain types of semi-automatic" rifles. This is nothing more than the democrat playbook of getting a toe-hold with a seemingly benign restriction and slowing adding more "certain types of rifles" in the future. And I certainly wouldn't want to deny a responsible 20 year old with a job living in not the best part of town because it's all he/she can afford from being able to buy any weapon of his choice for self-defense.
  8. I don't think it will change anything, not the worst idea, but just don't think it will help. [Hidden Content] From the article: Since 1999, the median age of school shooters on K-12 campuses is 16, per the outlet.
  9. democrats certainly don't like having to answer questions about their activities. Pathetic
  10. Someone's looking for attention, probably hasn't been able to find a Trump hit piece lately.
  11. Democrats, in general, do not like to discuss their activities or policies. Can’t say I blame them.
  12. I’m simply correcting your misinterpretation of the post. Conservatism doesn’t need condemnation, but I have been very critical of Republicans that pose as conservatives, usually because of their spending habits.
  13. Didn’t get that at all from his post, I think he’s simply pointing out your interest in Thomas while being uninterested in the corruption that is around the President and his family.
  14. You do know it doesn’t have to be a peaceful protest OR an insurrection, right? It can simply be idiots being idiots, which is exactly what it was.
  15. No doubt about it, it's sickening to see the democrats go so far to accommodate deviant behavior.
  16. [Hidden Content] 🤦‍♂️ From the article: A majority of Colorado Democrats in the state House voted against a measure that would enhance criminal penalties for indecent exposure in view of a minor, and one state lawmaker claimed the bill could be used to "ban" drag shows and harm transgender people.
  17. Remember those giant parts catalogs those guys would flip through? Some would go right to the page needed.
  18. Much easier to control the masses if they are dumbed down and mediocre across the board.
