Re: PA: No place but Philly

Call me crazy but I don't think that there has been a free and fair election in Philadelphia in decades. I have told people that I don't think there has been a truly free and fair election anywhere in the US since the thugs in NYC figured out how to intimidate and buy voters in 1850 in Tammany Hall...

Some interesting firearms rumored to be for sale

I was in a hobby shop yesterday when a couple other customers started talking about Drivetanks Ranch and Museum. One former paid employee and one former volunteer said that Drivetanks will be shutting down and selling everything soon. I don't know what a 105mm Howitzer goes for these days, but they ...

Re: If You Find an Unmanned F35 Stealth Fighter

I think some prepper took Biden at his word. If you want to fight the government, you can't do it with an AR-15, you need an F-15. Well, an F-35 is the next best thing.

Re: Texas AG Ken Paxton impeachment

I have to point out that I was surprised by the verdict. I expected at least one article to be a conviction. The good news is that this verdict made clear to me where the division in the Texas Republican party is. The vote to impeach and the vote to convict show that this was a battle between Phelan...

Re: Texas Vehicle Inspection

I am not sure why people think officers did not write equipment violations before. I have been writing them since I started in Texas law enforcement in 87. The charge was operating a vehicle not in inspection ready condition.

Re: New Mexico Carry Ban

per grayling 813's post above: Didn’t the Supreme Court rule on this after the War of Republican Aggression? Your quote above does not state what year the above ruling was made. It mentions the 50 states, so if accurate, the ruling would have to occur after August 21, 1959 or later, when Hawaii bec...

Re: TX executions. <1924, 254 counties. >1923, Huntsville only.

Minor technical correction for Texas jails. The maximum sentence that is served in a county jail is one year. I believe that municipal jails cannot hold convicted prisoners but I am not sure of that. I know that many people get sentenced to time served for municipal jail time while awaiting trial (m...

Re: Coffee City Police - East Texas

Steve I Don’t know if you watched the videos or not. Those officers not only do not work in Coffee City they do not live there they live mostly in Houston. They are carried as full time officers so they can work side jobs in Houston. In fact the majority of them are in a “warrant division.” What th...

Re: Coffee City Police - East Texas

The mayor pleads ignorance, but he and the city council approve the budget for the agency. The salaries and benefits for all those officers and the costs of their vehicles, equipment, and other support has to be eye popping. The required funds may have come largely from the revenue from the 5100 an...

While I think the suit is garbage because being a refugee is not a protected class, there are two points to consider that may make it not quite as laughable. The first point is that asylum seekers and refugees are not illegal aliens and may be authorized to work in the US. According to the Immigrati...

Re: GOA Warns Executive Action for Universal Background Checks Coming

Any chance the SCOTUS is setting this up for a more broad ruling that will smack much of this nonsense down? There is a very big chance of this. The ruling was only to reinstate the stay on the original TRO while the case actually went through appeals. That means the Fifth Circuit will have to hear...
