  1. Ha! I have a few on you. Still hanging in there. Some of the lumps I took when I worked for Uncle Sam are definitely rearing their ugly heads. This cold weather isn't doing me any favors. If your email is correct, we have more in common than you know.
  2. LOL My son & daughter-in-law are both in their late 30's. They are both Veterans. Our DIL is a naturalized Costa Rican American, and proud to be American. They have given us 3 beautiful grandchildren (twin granddaughters, and a grandson). Our grandson was born in Japan. We're very proud of them. We have a unique view of immigration because of our family. I don't remember what my son did when he was 17. Sometimes, I don't remember what I did yesterday. I usually lock my vehicles with my FOB at least 4 times for good measure because I can't remember if I did it yet or not. If people think it's my alarm, I blame it on stray cats.
  3. I’ve never said anything close to anyone deserving to be executed. In fact, I’ve stated the opposite. You will kindly offer me a retraction/apology.
  4. @purple reign Do you think Dow Lake Jackson laying off so many due to integrating AI affect enrollments at any of the local schools?
  5. Don Lemon has been arrested. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
  6. My beliefs are best described as a fiscally conservative libertarian. Not the Libertarian Party. I’m not a fan of the Patriot Act or some of the tools described in the articles I linked without heavy guardrails. Even then, I wouldn’t trust the guardrails being respected. These tools could easily be used similar to warrantless searches. That’s why I posted the links. People should be aware and make their own judgement on their privacy concerns. I support the immigration efforts, I think the paid agitators and those involved in the underground networks with a purpose of interfering with the immigration deportation efforts should be arrested, jailed, and forced to pay for any damages public or private. Same token, I think body cams on all are good for authorities and the public. I think the agents should be able to wear masks if they choose. But, they should clearly identify themselves as their official capacity in a more standard fashion.
  7. Whew! We're saved. Chicago Teachers Union films Target protest over ICE enforcement policies | Fox News
  8. She’s still probably operating under the delusion that both of the deceased were angels merely helping innocent people. Instead, we now know that both were heavily involved in illegal activities, and Good committed at least 1 Felony, while Pretti committed—by my count—6 Felonies in two encounters. Three Felonies each encounter. Good - Interfering/obstructing an active Federal enforcement activity. Pretti - Interfering/obstructing an active Federal enforcement activity, resisting, and carrying a firearm while committing another crime on both occasions. As you describe, they weren’t ’protesters or observers.’ They were active participants in crimes.
  9. I don’t remember him ever saying they were good or okay in the first place. Do you have a quote of him saying it was okay to shoot someone? You need to read your own article fully before posting.
  10. Slightly different perimeters in Texas Protesters Hit with Tear Gas After Calling to Release 5 Year Old Liam Ramos (Video Link) [Hidden Content]
  11. I know there’s no expectation of privacy in public. But, I can see some of this being abused. This reminds me of The Patriot Act. “The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies that federal agents are tapping in their deportation campaign.” [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]
  12. Exactly. That’s what LPISD does. Every 9 years like clockwork.
  13. Homan's full press conference with questions & answers. He also mentions the networks that are organizing people against law enforcement have justice coming. I’d believe him if I were them. He doesn’t impress me as a bluffer. About 35 minutes. But, a good listen. [Hidden Content]
  14. It does happen. I don't know how many people remember this one. But, it put a big stain on HPD for a while. [Hidden Content]
  15. Yes. While LEO's operate under fairly static rules, the threats to them are as real as they were to me. The only difference is that my conduct under DOD was regulated differently on each assignment by mission specific Rules of Engagement. So, no interdiction was ever exactly the same from a legal standpoint.
  16. Now we know why Maduro was snatched and brought to the U.S. We needed to have someone with election integrity relook at and monitor our elections.
  17. I think you meant her Super hijab. 😁🧕 The only woman I’ve ever seen that looked good in a hijab was Catherine Bell. Sorry…I digress…
  18. Policy driven = CYA While they may need to refine some policies, I hope they don’t allow the mob to think they can dictate—through illegal actions—policy. I think that would be a major mistake for everyone in the future about any number of issues.
  19. If Mayorkas was able to keep his job while allowing millions of illegals in, I’m not sure why Noem should be impeached for a split second decision made by an officer under duress. To me, it sounds like they’re more worried about collective bargaining rights than the death of their member.
  20. Penalties for Illegally Entering Mexico [Hidden Content]
  21. Reading and understanding are two different things. Understanding can be easily blocked by bias.
  22. Very good read. Makes sense to me, and I actually took the time to look up his referenced cases. Thanks for sharing! I bookmarked his page & gave e-mail for the freebie. Good stuff.
  23. I think this has been a very good discussion about the law. We’ve tried to apply what we know of case law to the current information we have on the tragedy that I think NONE OF US wish had happened. Nothing wrong with a little speculation/scenarios/debate based on news reporting. Otherwise, we’d all just sit around—without a care in the world—and wait for someone to tell us what was right or wrong without ever engaging our own brains. That’s not me. I LIKE using my brain, and trying to understand. Whether I agree or not really isn’t the issue. To me, this discussion has more information that’s relevant in the last 2 or 3 pages than probably 95%+ of the public will ever get.
  24. If they have an existing bond—which many have stair stepped bonds—the length of repayment is just extended. So, it’s kind of a play on wording. Technically, the taxes aren’t increased. The length of time until repayment and taxes could drop because of no bond is extended.
  25. Don’t use @DCT gingko biloba to try to help. It just makes you talk to yourself. 😂 😉 Now, I need to go to Walmart Vision Center and get my progressives adjusted before my teeth fall out…
