Back to the immigrant thing: Imagine 50 people at a MAGA rally being told they were going to be taken to Mar A Lago, but then flying them to Venezuela instead.

He gets to decide that. He also signed up to go up against difficult opponents when in the military. Just as he gets to decide, now, when it’s not worth engaging. I personally think that losing voices like his is a real shame. No one wins the internet by shouting down opponents who actually address points with thought, rather than with diatribes and memes Wendy P.

The POTUS, any POTUS is never in agreement with higher interest rates. Never have been and never will be. That is why the Federal Bank needs to be insulated as much as possible from the politicians.

If you had time to pull down on rear risers - to reduce descent rate - you also had enough time to do a rear riser stall. If you quickly release the rear riser stall, half the tension knots will fall out. I have used this technique to clear dozens of tension knots on tandems. If the student is heavy enough to stiffen risers into iron crow bars, I use toggles to pull the canopy into a deep stall, then let my hands up quickly. The canopy dives forward, lines go slack and most of the tension knots drop out. Please note that this technique does not work well on tiny canopies loaded more than 1:1 as the dive may be asymmetrical and throw you into line twists. The only way out of - tiny canopy - line twists is to cutaway. Whereas lightly-loaded student canopies just fly off on their merry way.

The Netherlands is proposing a solution:

NYT: Judge Temporarily Suspends Indiana Abortion Ban In her ruling on Thursday, Judge Hanlon wrote that the Indiana Constitution includes a right to liberty and bodily autonomy, which reasonably includes decisions about family planning and “whether to carry a pregnancy to term.” The ban just took effect a week ago.

Thanks for posting that, I had a vague memory of it but couldn't find it.. So, Tina and Alyce didn't get a full-face view of Cooper.. Flo was in the cockpit for much of the time. How interesting..

I know, I should be too old to believe in fairy tales. But it’s the hope that gets ya

Be it guns or other issues BIGUN is the only republican to make logical sound suggestions. Which brings up the thought why is he still a republican? He is like a salmon trying to climb Brooks Falls in Alaska with no chance of success.

What does a rich guy have to do to get jailed for contempt of court?

Probably getting to the point that you can knock off some official you don't like, and people will think Putin was behind it.

Wooohoooo....awesome guys! Well done!

Bigun has stepped up and invested a lot of work, and some of his relationships, into what he sees as an issue that he can contribute to personally, and that's important. It's not a blah blah blah, because we have multiple threads addressing this issue (including this one, started by you). If you don't like his approach (which does move the needle, and in a way that at least some conservatives find acceptable), how don't you like it? A national ban on firearms simply isn't going to happen, and you know that, too. OTOH, I guess SC is exactly the place where people come to just gripe about stuff they don't want to actually do anything about. Not sure that's wonderful. Wendy P.

Hi Keith, IMO you have presented an excellent suggestion. So, how would you overcome this problem: The states, the federal government, both sides of the aisle, should work together IMO that is too big of a mountain to climb in today's environment. Jerry Baumchen
