Re: Diversified Machining (form 1 suppressor supplies) raided by BATFE

I don't know all the facts. I have bought parts from Diversified Machining, and have a lovely form 1 titanium can for my rimfires built with materials sourced from them. My limited exposure to their business has been one purchase, and all I know that they have ever sold are components that are machi...

Re: TX: Houston man sets gun on table it then shoots and kills him

I trust my guns to not "go off" when someone isn't pressing the trigger. To date, they have never failed me in this. Perhaps his gun wasn't trustworthy, or maybe a gun virus is going around which somehow animates these machines. More likely of course is that the "report" leaves o...

Re: Restriction of rights and left/liberalism versus right/conservatism.

WIth certain caveats, I am with srothstein. The caveats are important, though... The first caveat is that generally speaking citizens understand that Rights and Liberty require citizens to be responsible -- and accountable for their actions. Harm someone else in any way and it is up to you to make t...

Re: The plot against the president

The ONLY reason for the siege against Trump's Presidency from the get-go is that he represented a stumbling block to the plans to "fundamentally change" the US into just another statist Government in the Globalist group. Imagine what Trump could have accomplished if the Republicans actuall...

Re: Restriction of rights and left/liberalism versus right/conservatism.

I think of myself as a Libertarian leaning Conservative (or maybe a Conservative leaning Libertarian). I haven't voted Libertarian due to their stances on open borders and a few other issues. That said, Jason812s statement is absolutely true and should always be remembered -- Conservative does not m...

Re: How The Right Can Organize Like The Left

When there can be no reasonable assumption of election integrity, organization will not result in peacable change. It may, however, result in necessary change -- necessary to reset the proper relationship between free citizens and Government.

Re: Interview with source on electronic vote fraud - TX

Chilling... There is no election integrity with the ballot counting systems currently in use. Unless literally caught in the act there is no way to know that your vote wasn't changed, and there is no way to know it has been counted or recorded correctly, along with all the other votes cast. With no ...

Re: Feds vs States?

The battle is uphill both ways in a snowstorm. With a weak candidate in 2016, the Progressives resorted to pollaganda, which almost worked due to the dumbed-down electorate "educated" in what to think rather than how to think. Throughout Trump's presidency a continuous propaganda siege led...

Thanks, guys. Just another day at work in general -- a blessing and boon moreso than something to lament. Sort of ironically, Diesel42, my HS class son was Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas.

Re: End the winner takes all?

From my perspective, it is time for Term Limits and compensation reforms for the Congress and Senate. Without effectively removing incentives to politics as a career path for avaricious individuals, we are faced with camps that align on ever-divergent policy positions in gamesmanship for wealth and ...

Re: Early Voting

What's dismaying is that places like Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis voted heavily Democrat, after what they've been through. Just unbelievable. Insanity is continuing to do things which have never worked and expecting different results. The residents of these places are apparently suffering from...

Re: Early Voting

Urban, "big city" counties are DemocRat strongholds, and responsible for driving the expected Blue state results in every electorally significant case. The Great Society continues to pay dividends on urban welfare plantations.

Somehow, the Hunter emails seem not to matter much. That's baffling.

Re: Early Voting

Rafe, your friend has obviously chosen to believe the media reports that Trump and everything he stands for are anti-immigrant, documented or not, as well as the follow-on conclusion that any immigrant would be crazy to vote for Trump. Most of the immigrants I have spoken to or heard of, the documen...
