Re: A Different Type of Secession Is Already Happening in the USA
IMHO, the author's use of the the term "secession" is counter-productive. He is really talking about "voting with the feet", which Americans have been doing forever. The suburban settlement pattern in particular is 70 years in the making. And some poll data ( https://www.realcle...

Re: The .45 is Unquestionably Superior to the 9mm
A German 88mm is also superior to a .45 for some things, not including portability and concealability.

Re: Its Time to Texit.
PTR, You put a great deal of thought and care into articulating your viewpoint. I agree with some of your points, but not all. Most importantly, while you make a good argument for Texit, I firmly believe that establishing Texas as an independent country is much more complex than I think people appr...

Re: Its Time to Texit.
Yall ready yet? I've been binging on Hulu since Thanksgiving, watching Homeland, the original Showtime series about clandestine spy stuff. There are a couple of seasons focusing on the attempts by Russia to unravel U.S. society, U.S. elections, etc. by way of social media disinformation and muckrak...

Re: Its Time to Texit.
~ Texas would have between the 7th and the 10th ranked economy worldwide ***** Not necessarily. The size of the present economy is partly the result of the stability of the current political/legal system, not to mention the relative stability of the U.S. currency and bond markets. You can't assume t...

Re: Just found out my mother has covid
She is 77 but in very good health. Very active. She got her test results back yesterday. She thinks she has had it about a week so far. The only symptoms are a headache and tired. She lives in Rowlett which is experiencing a spike at the moment. Doctor told her she will be out of danger zone if no ...

Re: post-election reflection
Well, if it does turn out finally that Biden wins, I look forward to saying "You wanted this" to my lefty associates, when the stock market plummets, unemployment goes up and Houston is crippled by the government deprecating the oil industry. Those bad outcomes depend on how the Georgia S...

post-election reflection
Full disclosure -- I voted for President Trump twice. The following are some opinions, mixed with a little blatant hope. The White House hasn't conceded yet, so I will. It's over. I'm glad it's over. Biden's election outcome appears clearly, albeit not sweepingly/massively. I personally didn't want ...

Re: What do you think will happen "IN TEXAS"
Trump wins-- Some crying, moaning, gnashing of teeth. Maybe some protests. Biden wins-- Some crying, moaning, gnashing of teeth. Massive run on 9mm, 556, .223 ammo. Again. I'm with TomV. Having voted early, I hope my biggest issue on Tuesday will be deciding whether or not to make one last bowhunti...
