re: Libs: DC safe, troops not needed. Troops killed - Trump put them in harm’s way
Posted by Jack Bauers HnK on 11/27/25 at 6:35 pm to RaginCajunz
Troops existing in a city is putting them in harms way? Harm from what or whom? What risk of harm to our own military in our own cities are we allowing to exist and why?
re: Costco>Sams

Sam’s has the benefit of scan and go, seeing in store pricing on the app, order pickup, and the like. Costco does have some better products but the shopping experience can be a lot better at Sam’s when you don’t have to check out through a register.

I get the privacy concern. Competing considerations include whether you would like to be able to make verbal comments about what you are seeing that may not have been caught on camera (calling out license plate/vehicle info in case you forget before you can write it down), capturing conversations you have with people near your car, proving that you were not looking at your phone, etc.

Do any of you save boxes like I do? If you bought a used watch or nice pen would you expect to have the original box?
I don’t have either, but videos that YouTube serves up for me include a guy that buys high end watches and he always mentions whether the seller brought the original box or not for Rolexes and such. Might make a difference on price you get if that’s your potential market.

Absolute ownership does not exist under current law.
Like all other borders, they are only as good as your ability to enforce them. If you have the might to eject or repel any agent of the US, then you have absolute ownership/possession and no one can enforce anything on you. Otherwise, if you bought that property within the US, you understood the situation into which you were entering. There’s plenty of other patches of land on earth that you could have sought, but these patches of land within the US come with certain benefits that make the downsides an acceptable trade off.

During the 2013 shutdown, Obama put up barriers at all the outdoor monuments in DC so you couldn’t walk up to them. :rolleyes:

re: You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's Facial Recognition App, DHS Document Says

I don’t know what you voted for, but I definitely did not vote for an ICE that relies on a forged birth certificate instead of reality, whether that’s by facial recognition, fingerprints or whatever else they need to verify identity.
re: Why are people allowed to not carry/cancel insurance? And why do police not confirm this?

Do you think trash really says, “my license is suspended. I better not get behind the wheel”???
The thought process of “my insurance is lapsed, I better not get behind the wheel” didn’t do anything either, did it?
If someone causes you damages, your recourse is to sue them, get a judgment and then try to enforce that judgment against their assets. If they have no seizable assets, then what is going to motivate them to pay?
I don’t pretend to know all the reasons why a person might eventually cough up some money to get their license back. I did subrogation work for a while to recover money an insurance company paid for damages caused to their customers by uninsured drivers. Many a dormant file with an uncollectible judgment would suddenly wake up when the driver walked in the door and wanted to get his license back.
In OP’s case, he apparently has deductibles close to the amount of damages his fence sustained. He decided to self-insure that amount so he gets to decide how much his time is worth in recovering those damages from the uninsured driver.

In Louisiana there’s a process to have someone’s license suspended until they pay the damages they caused while uninsured. Perhaps there’s something similarly available to you in another state.

a general tightening of the information flow that I dont see as warranted
Why should information be able to flow at all from the pentagon without approval by the pentagon?
Again, if information gets out and the press reports on it, that happens anyway. This is just making sure that unauthorized information is not being solicited by persons with the privilege of being physically present within the pentagon.
If journalists want to break stories with unauthorized information, they’ll need to get their information like anyone else. If they want access to the pentagon, they give up the ability to use unauthorized info. Why should they get to have their cake and eat it too?
Or better yet, why should any journalist be invited into the pentagon at all?

Any journalist or just one who has a credential to be physically present in the pentagon?

I'll give you an example: back in the 80's the Pentagon was being tripled billed by the manufacturer of the Bradley. It was an Air Force whistleblower that helped break that story with none other than Bill Oreilly. It revealed all kinds of problems with the procurement process and vulnerabilities with corruption. The pentagon hated that story getting out .You think that kind of story could come out now?
What would be different? If a whistleblower wants to go on a nightly news show and blow his whistle, if the anchor isn’t a credentialed member of the pentagon press corps, what difference do these new rules make?

These misguided people and the church they attend have created in their own minds the notion of the affirming Jesus, a Jesus that has carved out a special love and affirmation for their homosexuality and deviant lifestyles.
It’s possible to create an idol and name it Jesus. That’s why God’s Word is the sole authority, not any man or tradition.
John 4:23-24 (ESV) But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We have well water, never noticed any issue related to turning the water off.

Yes, I shut my water off at the valve where the water line enters the house when we leave for vacation.
