  1. How can there be obstruction of justice if there was no crime?
  2. Well - Alrighty then......not the ending I was expecting....... Kind of a normal boring episode right up until the end..............
  3. SF thinks if a kid were to post "F-school, F-sports, F-everything" and the school/teachers/friends did nothing, there may some question as to why nothing was done when that kid comes back to school after stealing their parent's gun, etc...........
  4. Which is one of the reasons most "successful" mass shootings occur in "gun-fee" zones........
  5. Not really Muda.......anything that is grown is by definition organic.......What you are wanting is probably something that you can feel reasonably assured is grown either pesticide-free or non-GMO, or some other "pure/natural" methodology...... Had this discussion 2 years ago at a Christmas party with a federal USDA inspector who was auditing the processes at my wife's company (a poultry company) to ensure they meet the requirements of the "level" of purity from hatch to grow-out to be able to put the "organic" label on the food they grow, slaughter and package.......In other words, it's all organic, it just has to meet certain requirements to be labeled organic.
  6. https://www.chicksonright.com/youngconservatives/2019/03/21/ocasio-cortez-is-outraged-fox-news-is-calling-her-a-stereotypical-hispanic-name-2/?fbclid=IwAR1k_xxfZLibfq46YmGDeg9lBrabMiBo-S4ct5s8Q9U8XbqSwM33gVpwgFk Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to social media on Wednesday evening to flip out on Fox News. She alleged the network hosts were conspiratorially saying her last name wrong in order to scare some of their viewers. The New York Democrat said in a series of tweets that Fox News hosts like Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity were saying only “Cortez” because “that sounds more stereotypically Hispanic and probably incites more anxiety for” viewers. “Pro Tip,” she also said in the tweets. “My last name is not ‘Cortez,’ just as theirs isn’t ‘Ingra’ or ‘Carl’ or ‘Hann.’” FYI - all bananas (that grow on a tree) are "organic"......
  7. You are comparing the US kids of today with the US kids of yesterday Fox. Again - visit almost any nation in the world, and compare their standard of living with the US. Ms. AOC, growing up in NYC, attending Boston U, when she states "I have never seen that, or experienced that in my adult life" tells SF she needs a dose of reality, she grew up in American Prosperity and now cannot see it for what it is. It warms SF's heart to see his kids (an English teacher and an accountant) living their lives and worrying about paying rent, cell phones, car insurance and wireless internet, all the while actually appreciating what their mother and I did bringing them up, because now they get it, and understand how well we are doing in this country.
  8. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6834303/Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-appears-cover-Time.html Enough people have threatened to kill democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that her staff has been trained to evaluate visitors to her Capitol Hill office — even people who just leave Post-It notes on the plaque in the hallway. The stunning reality of being America's new liberal 'it' girl, a media darling who incenses conservatives, is laid bare in a Time profile that landed the New York congressional freshman on the magazine's cover. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, may appear like she relishes the attention in public. But in private, the realities of life in a political bubble are sinking in. 'I miss being able to go outside in sweats,' she told Time this month. 'I can’t go anywhere in public and just be a person without a lot of people watching everything I do.' The Democratic congresswoman from the Bronx, 'Wonder Woman of the left and wicked witch of the right' in the lengthy interview, complained that her millennial generation has grown up in an America that falls short of its promise. Eight years of Barack Obama's economy hasn't assuaged the nation's socialist youth, she suggested: 'An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.' 'I have never seen that, or experienced it, really, in my adult life.' Unsafe in her Capitol Hill Office? The story seems to forget to point out the metal detectors, armed security, and all of the other precautions a person has to go through just to get into one of the congressional office buildings in DC...... SF thinks AOC needs to make a visit nearly ANYWHERE in the world outside of the US if she has truly never seen "American Prosperity"........
  9. The only reason "supreme" was put in my post was because of the term "white supremacy" becoming (IMHO) synonymous with simply being white. Now the nomenclature appears to be headed to "white privilege". So you are saying (based on the highlighted text) then it is NOT racist if one would consider someone who is (perceived as) other than white to be a person of less privilege? (based solely on the color of his skin) FYI - I really must have missed out on the "granting" of those "certain advantages/privileges" you touched on......care to expound?
  10. So far - The best meme I have seen.......Loving the Billy Joel connection......
  11. SF put an opinion out there (after twice stating the obvious blame is solely on the shooter) and won't be responsible how somebody as smart as yourself wants to read and interpret it otherwise - sorry.......
  12. indicates to SF that New Zealand is pretty surprised by the backlash stemming from the immigration policies of the past decade and is looking to place blame anywhere else but themselves......And the US media in all it's anti-Trump rage is very eager to oblige...... UH - Again - SF believes there is nobody to blame but the shooter himself. (Period) The optics in the world's view, where the shooter's manifesto (which obviously nobody but SF read before it was removed) specifically points at the issue(s) of immigration of mainly Muslim population puts the spotlight squarely on the NZ government and it's policies, so (IMHO) I feel the movement by the government to immediately impose stricter gun laws (which are pretty darn strict) as well as (by proxy) point the finger in any other direction is pretty reactionary. Put the blame on the shooter and his ilk, and don't accept any responsibility, and certainly don't buy into the rhetoric of it being fault of a US President or the daughter of a former US President......
  13. No - and nowhere did I say that. You should know SF well enough after the past years on the GID to know, I blame this solely on the shooter, and his accomplices......
