    I should have a new LWRC (ICDIRCK16) here Monday!!!!!! I haven't bought a 'higher end' battle rifle in a while. I'm debating between getting another Leupold 1.5-4x20 or go with a Vortex VIPER® PST™ GEN II 1-6X24. Glass on both are pretty dang good. Will also change out the trigger when I get it to another HyperFire "HyperTouch". 

    Eff, can tell you're not in NY.

     

    The new semi gun laws require a pistol permit with 16-hour course to buy any semi auto long gun.  Nicks check for ammo sales.  

     

    Now we have to pay like 10 bucks for the NYS police to run the Nicks check through the FBI.  Many are speculating this is the state trying to create a registry.

    LMAO.

     

    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability

     

    Is the orange dude even being charged with "insurrection"?  Rico and felonies are serious accusations.  

     

    But while we are talking the constitution. 

     

    "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors"

    Well, then say what you mean.

    As it stands, we have a member of the capitalist/investor class calling out his colleagues for doing something he doesn't like, and saying he'll put a stop to all of that.

    How? To whom? With what limitations?

    Like I said: sounds oh-so-good and tough to low information voters.

    I kind of did.  removing Tax exempt status from Charities playing PAC could be a start.  If you're going to be a PAC, be a PAC. With all its financial disclosure regs. 

     

    shouldn't have charities pushing wedge issues while also being a partisan PAC.

     

     

     

     I am in the boat that publicly trades corporations should not be funding and promoting parties thought Charities and PACS.  Cause we get what we have now, a government that's representative of those groups, vs us.

    Here's what he posted:

     

    BlackRock, State Street, & Vanguard represent arguably the most powerful cartel in human history: they’re the largest shareholders of nearly every major public company (even of each other) & they use *your* own money to foist ESG agendas onto corporate boards - voting for “racial equity audits” & “Scope 3 emissions caps” that don’t advance your best financial interests. This raises serious fiduciary, antitrust, and conflict-of-interest concerns.

     

    So far, a legitimate point. These companies are, of course, the biggest shareholders because they run the biggest mutual funds.

    But then this:

     

    As President I will cut off the real hand that guides the ESG movement - not the invisible hand of the free market, but the invisible fist of government itself.

     

    This simply doesn't follow. He says private companies are behind the ESG investing agenda, but then blames the "invisible fist of the government itself." 

    It probably sounds good to the low information voters he is courting, but it is meaningless.

    What he seems to want is MORE government regulation of the markets, to be achieved through government control, imposing new fiduciary standards on private investment companies. Remember that the next time this vulture investor talks about "too much regulation."

    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/23/vivek-ramaswamy-martin-shkreli-pharma-00098338

    None of those companies are private, they are publicly traded.

     

    You notice how much of the stimies went directly to Blackrock/Vanguard controlled companies?  Same ones that also heavily support the left and the ESG, DEI movement.

     

    Its like a big circle. PACS get politicians elected, Politicians promote legislation and spending to Companies that PACS support.  Companies fund the same PACS.  

     

    maybe he is referencing removing tax exempt status from those groups (duel PAC/Charity) that rank and promote it. 

     

     

     

     

    The duel "Political pac/charity" game is out of control.

    Know nothing about meteorology and little about climate science.  But ocean temps in the 90's can't be good in many ways.

    I lived thru one big hurricane in Louisiana as a kid.  Pretty damn scary.  A tornado came thru here about 10 years ago and that was even more scary.  Very unusual for the mountains.  Sounded like a freight train going by.

    I think the long and short of it is the dollar reserve and trade settlement system has run its course and slowly, and then all at once, other countries are looking to, and migrating to, other systems of settlement and reserves.  Like gold and other currencies. 

    One reason cited for the urgency to utilize alternatives is the recent enthusiasm in Washington to use the dollar's reserve and trade settlement status as a policy tool of extortion via sanctions and asset seizures. 

      

    No argument.  just seems like its moving fast now.

    One reason cited for the urgency to utilize alternatives is the recent enthusiasm in Washington to use the dollar's reserve and trade settlement status as a policy tool of extortion via sanctions and asset seizures.  The idea is get out of the dollar lest you someday piss off or disobey Washington and they steal your money because its in dollars (their money). no argument. but would add that's exactly how China has been gaining strategic assets around the world.  one example would be Hambantota International Port

    Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump

    Miles Taylor is a national security expert who works in Washington, DC. Taylor previously served as chief of staff at the US Department of Homeland Security

     

    Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor—The Next Trump.

    Trump can do whatever. but the platform he ran on, has a lot of support.

     

    The current fortune 500 politician platform is destroying the middle class.

     

     

     

     

  9. Lol.  Who would the sides be?  Vanguard/BlackRock vs everyone. 

     

    I was just pointing out the options keep getting worse. 

     

    And would mention that Pelosi was constantly referenced in narratives about succession, in the impeachment fiascos.  By major media and politicians. 

     

    And no civil war

    Chris, those regulations are there for a reason
     

    You couldn’t get me to live in an apartment in Florida after watching them collapse due to no ***** regulations

    Huge space between what we have now, and none.

     

    But the point still stands. 

     

    Individuals with their own money making their own choices on what to spend on works way better than stimulating the fortune 500 and calling it infrastructure or inflation reduction bills.

     

    Individuals are free to make their own choices. bad ones get negative results. good ones can have good results.

     

    Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety
