So the regime that says Israel should be wiped off the map gets its President and Foreign Minister wiped on the map, Looks Kobe Bryant-ish to me.

Short apolitical comment, from a guy with an aeronautical engineering degree and almost 30,000 hours of flight time, including about one or two hours of time in helicopters during rescue training, and being transported on and off a carrier a couple of times. Helicopters........Don't.

I don't post about a lot of things that "concern me." I do post when someone states something clearly false, and claiming Britain was a "foreign country," at the time of the Declaration of Independence is ignorance. The very first sentence acknowledges that: "When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another,...." Absolutely not a foreign country at that time.

I am extremely familiar with the Declaration of Independence. It had a good deal to do with me living where we now live. Anyway, my post claimed that the Declaration was not against a "foreign power," as you claimed, while you humorously calling someone in moron in the same sentence. That is why the founding fathers knew they were guilty of treason, and why it was called the Revolutionary War and the War of Independence. I have no interest in discussing Jan 6. In addition, "my guy" didn't lose the election. I didn't have "a guy."

For historical accuracy purposes, it was not a "foreign" power at the time' Thus, our forefathers realized that they were committing treason.

Men simply give up. Seriously, the difference is reflected in long term health care coverage. More expensive for women, as they are far more like to need it, and for longer duration. My wife's policy is $400/year more than mine.

Virginia is nothing like that, and sorry for your ancestor's sacrifice.

Honestly, I don't think it's an overreach at all, nor do I think it has anything to do with revenue capture. I think it is a safety issue. These things are very dangerous. The props are spinning at thousands of rpm, and there's four of them. As I stated, I've seen them cut through small branches. Thousands of these things have crashed on first flights because people don't know how to operate them. If one crashed into a stadium, it is almost a guarantee someone could be hurt, and I'm not going to discuss the potential weaponizing of them. There are also technical issues. They work by remote signalling. Those frequencies are limited. Get a few of them in the same area using the same freqs, but controlled by disparate, unknown operators and you get the picture. The other issue is that the NFL stops games when an unknown drone is over a stadium. That would significantly disrupt their product.

I knew nothing other than cursory information regarding Stonewall Jackson and Lee. Then I read the Shaara Trilogy, Gods and Generals, The Killer Angels and The Last Full Measure. With the understanding that the USA at that time was a local/regional country far more than it was today, context is important. While I wish the Confederate Generals would have sided with the North, the situation at the time cannot be judged by us, like the practice of "bleeding" that was done in medicine. Times change. Judgements made must be sensitive to the times. Now being aware of the "Union's" leadership, post Lincoln, which was U,S. Grant and Andrew Johnson, and considering a decision of who was more honorable, I know I'd go with Jackson and Lee. Either way, the senseless renaming of schools and removing of statues has proven to do no good.

Sometimes I think you are just an idiot. (Well....All times). Other times I am surprised by your idiocy, as in this post. Richmond has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Not that it matters to you, but the respect due Robert E. Lee is legitimate and deserved. You have just called a great potion of the population of the US as "disgusting," and "anti American. I suggest you are foolish. Absolute bull####. But not surprising.

Because that's what the people in those areas agreed to do when they were constructed. This idiotic renaming is not only stupid, it has proven to be counterproductive and very expensive. Further, while some would disagree, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Lewis and Clark were extremely honorable people. The knuckleheads that made these decisions, including a blatant racist who was the energy behind removing a Lee statue are anything but.

Respectfully, are you serious with this question? The schools were renamed. The monuments were torn down. That money was wasted. Resources, including millions of dollars, scores of lawsuits, and a total waste of time was spent renaming them, tearing monuments in existence for scores of decades. Get that? Total waste of everything involved, and you are claiming that the issue is with responding to this?

This entire monument removal/school renaming thing has been a total waste of time, money and resources. This is how lawyers get paid, and nothing positive results.

Just so people know, it is illegal to fly a drone within three nautical miles from any stadium having a capacity of 30,000 or more from one hour prior to scheduled start until one hour after. Many other events trigger what are called Temporary Flight Restrictions, which also prohibit drone operations. Obvious ones would include Presidential appearances, but there are many others. You can request a waiver from the FAA for any number of requests, but it would never be granted in this case. Regarding size and registration, if it weighs more than .55 lbs, it must be registered. I can't imagine anything worth flying, or having any capability weighing less than that. The battery weighs that much. If someone does it, local law enforcement can stop it, use the FAA's Law Enforcement Assistance Program to report it, and the FAA can pursue certificate or even criminal action. The NFL wants local police to have authority for enforcement. The NFL has had many games delayed because of this, and it is extremely dangerous. In most cases the drones were not registered, so flying them anywhere would have been a violation, let alone within the temp flight restricted area of an NFL stadium.

What? This is Israel's survival. They are and have been under attack from three sides for years. It is there issue to "deal." Biden has proven to be a spineless non ally, and that is shameful.

Oh my.

I'm sure you have as much interest in digging deep into this as I have, which is zero. But....The FAA certainly has a mechanism to enforce drone regs on any unregistered drone, by any individual. To the bigger picture, these things are dangerous in the hands of idiots, like the 15 year old who gets one for Christmas and thinks it would be fun to fly it over a stadium. Quite easy to do. I've seen them saw small branches off of trees. They have limited battery life, and crashing one into stadium stands would be really bad. not some

It doesn't matter if they're commercial or not, which I'm sure they aren't. Operating one over a stadium, or any other non participating human is illegal.

Just horrible. As said by others, our allies don't trust him, and our enemies don't fear him. The man is a foreign policy disaster. As former Defense Sect Robert Gates said: "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Denying Israel this shipment is idiotic, counterproductive and lunacy. "

I won't comment on NFL games or stadium venues, but there is absolutely functional federal enforcement re unauthorized drone usage. I have a commercial drone license and am aware of this.

As I read the link, it simply enabling local law enforcement to utilize anti drone measures. That authority, to date, is reserved for the Feds. The fact is that operating a drone over a stadium without FAA authorization is illegal, and has always been, and for very good reasons.

IRS audits are the result of IRS problems with a return. IRS agents do not make their money auditing returns that have no discrepancies. There are other windmills worth tilting over.

I don't agree with the targeting claim. IRS audits are based on filed returns. I would aver that the audits were based on discrepancies within those returns, like inaccurate 1099's etc. High income filers don't make those mistakes. They probably have professional help. My guess is that there's no story here.

It was perjury.
