Secretary Seward should have protected him.

I know, I know!!!! I googled it. It is in a convent in Milan.

Not for me with a starting point in 1992. Jumps were $15 CAD then which is only $28.29 now. Jumps here are $47 CAD plus 5% tax. Which is about $34 USD currently. But I think what is more important is the decline in disposable income for younger people who are paying more for rent and other priorities.

Thank you. That gives me some context and understanding into where you are coming from. Now I'm reading up on both Jungle Jim and Farm Gate.

All part of the escalating cost of skydiving that is driving young people away from the sport.

I'm just curious about your experience. I understand that a soldier must do what he must do. Were you a draftee or a volunteer? If I'm not mistaken I believe your service was earlier in the "war" or whatever they called it. Possibly before the draft was very widespread. How many years did you serve?

At least it shows that he doesn't only hate minorities, you know....racoons,...unless you count redheads as a minority group.

Yes, I remember that as well.

I for one remember RonD telling us all what was going to happen in 2016. The evangelicals made it happen just as he said they would.

Be careful Joe. You know what happened last time D voters got overconfident and cocky.

Almost like a basket of deplorables?

I would never have clicked on that link, but since you were brave enough to I tried it. Thanks for giving me a good belly laugh Jerry!

Probably because Biden did not have an event scheduled 20 miles from his home. It almost seems like his main motive was to do something big.

The Olympic games are not satanic, but they are clearly pagan in origin and were held to honour Zeus. So there is that.

I would say he practically defines “big headed”.

Sounds to me like he just made the mistake of going for a head shot and Trump had the good fortune to turn at a critical moment.

I predict that women will respond and vote in higher than normal numbers. They will turn out for two reasons. To support Kamala and to vote against state representatives who are anti freedom.

I can't find a drawing, but I did d/l a couple pictures years ago. Here you go. I never did actually make one, but I've certainly seen a few. I have found that the best thing to use on a Sabre 170 is the slider from a Sabre 2 170. It is 23"x31" as opposed to the 20"x31" used on the original and is a very common PD slider size used across many products in many sizes. Their line trim charts list slider measurements.

It's quite a shit show you somehow ended up with down there. The primary system gave you Trump and Biden as your choices despite the fact that neither was wanted by the majority of the population. Now you have Harris who was never wanted by even the majority of Ds but at least most of the party is uniting behind her. All in the service of defeating the boogieman. There are many better potential options in both parties, but the system in place makes it very difficult for the cream to rise to the top. Harris is actually a reasonably good choice as far as I can see. How did that happen? Only because she did not go through the established method of choosing. She is an accidental nominee. Biden probably would have lived long enough to stumble through the 4 years. As a semi-competent figurehead for at least some of them though. This is all part of the price you pay for having term limited leadership in a posistion of such great power and the struggle to attain that power. But it is probably worth it because longer term leaders get so determined to hold on that they become more and more desperate and corrupt as time goes on.

Tastes Great. Wish I had some, can't wait.

Not that it matters one way or another, but there is strong reason to believe that yes, he was grazed by the first shot fired. It also seems that he just happened to turn his head as the shot was fired, or it likely would have killed him. Some will believe this was an act of God, some will call it good luck, and of course some will call it bad luck. If he had been killed someone more right wing and capable would have been nominated and probably would be a stronger candidate. Because of that I'm calling it good luck. Harris can beat him, but only because so many people are never Trumpers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/us/politics/trump-shooter-bullet-trajectory-ear.html

Half the population is below the median.

Yes, this is the basis of what is called "identity politics". And it has been working and used by both the left and the right in the USA. It is the reason large numbers of Americans vote against their economic interests.

She will use the Biden/Harris money. The Rs will complain to the FEC who will "investigate". In about a year's time it will issue a ruling that will not matter.

You had a series of primaries that resulted in Trump and Biden. Pretty much proof that democracy has failed America.
