Not sure how to answer. I own guns and hunt and shoot a lot. I have two amazing labs and hunt ducks, pheasants, and grouse every Fall. Yes, I think it’s fun but also enables me to put over 100lbs of protein in the freezer each year. I also shoot a lot of sporting clays and coach the local high school trap and skeet team. I shoot 3,000+ rounds a…[Read more]

It reads in tone and tenor like a Brietbart or Alex Jones commentor. Without a citation or background it’s hard to take credibly.

I think the gay community has the same problems most other communities seem to have these days, a vacuum of leadership. Messages are driven by media and sound-bites and not by real leaders.

It’s interesting, two of my…[Read more]

BHO, “This isn’t a real solution. It’s a political stunt. This is what Washington does whenever there’s a big problem. Politicians pretend they’re looking out for you but they’re just looking out for their poll numbers.”

He’s only benefitting the private jet and yacht industry.

In my opinion people will not panic or really revolt until the Big Mac machine stops working. Meaning fast food in general. Poor and other disadvantaged  people disproportionately rely upon fast food every day. Worsening food inflation, supply chain issues, fertilizer shortages, etc. will continue to impact supply well into 2023 regardless of…[Read more]

Sorry so gloomy. I agree with most everyone’s points on this thread and zillions of others. I think we’re all screwed. I’m interested in continued JPR perspective on current events since they align most closely to mine. I don’t think there’s any redeeming qualities about our current government and economy and I believe the only changes will come…[Read more]

Like @dunatus says above, they were concerned about excess savings last year and now we have a war and rising inflation so they can get those idle savings. It should be interesting to see what happens with crypto in the next few years. Most of the young people I talk to are either dabbling or all-in with crypto and they’re not putting much of…[Read more]

it doesn’t mean they won’t stop trying. It’s funny many people younger than me text complete conversations with emojis.

A similar battle is happening with privacy. EU has better-than-average privacy rules (GDPR) but governments are trying to erode its effectiveness with CSA (Child Sexual Abuse) because stopping it is more important than anyone’s…[Read more]
