More likely racism or transphobia.

There is a difference between open borders and letting in select individuals with high demand skills.

Talking about generations in the U.S. In the last election, Trump was among the first of the baby boom generation born in 1946. Having nothing to do with the 2024 election Bill Clinton was also born in 1946, the beginning of the baby boom. Hamala Harris and her running mate, "White dudes for Harris", Tim Walz were both born in 1946, the last year of the baby boom. Among the Republican & Democrat presidential and vice presidential candidates NONE where from generation X the baby bust generation. JD Vance was born in 1984 is generation Y, the millennials. In a heart warming tale, I a baby boomer went to a Foo Fighters concert last year with my generation X wife, generation Y niece, and generation Z son, daughter and great niece. Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders and Wolfgang Van Halen were opening acts. A great time was had by all. Multi-generational happiness.

I could see the local sheriff deputizing some of the local good old boys. There should be a good number of veterans among the locals up north. If the government doesn't step up and take care of the problems it opens the door to vigilantly action.

Wikipedia says he is eligible for parole from state charges in 2036. His federal conviction and sentence runs concurrently to the state charges. So Trump giving him a pardon would be meaningless. Tho Trump does have a habit at tilting at windmills some times.

I'm not big on bashing younger generations. I'm a baby boomer. I know plenty of baby boomers that are lazy pieces of dirt. And I know plenty of baby boomers that are hard working salt of the earth types. And the same with younger people. I would bet the majority of U.S. Army Rangers and Navy SEALS are under 30. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

I've got a feeling that any South African refugees are going to move to areas where the followers of this idiot are far and few between.

Cafeteria Catholicism, pick and choose what beliefs you go with. This is not unique to Catholics, it is common with Protestants also. Probably more common with Protestants since belief systems are more loosey goosey.

What would be considered "schism"? A Catholic politician that supports abortion? One that supports capitol punishment? I'm no expert on Catholic teachings but I believe those are both official positions of the Catholic Church. In the U.S a high % of Democrat politicians that are Catholic support abortion, including the two most prominent Catholics, former Speaker Pelosi & former President Biden. A high % of Republican Catholics support capitol punishment. In the past in the U.S. I believe Catholics tended to be more heavily Democrat. But this tends to be because certain ethnic groups tend to be more heavily Catholic, especially Hispanics. In my area it is heavily German heritage, and a high % of them are Catholic, or "Catholic heritage". Studies have shown if you take people from a similar demographic such a German heritage, where some are Catholic and some are Protestant there political beliefs and affiliations will be similar. What I mean to say is economics and demographics influence political beliefs much more than religion.

How is he going to take on Trump? Wrestling? A foot race? Bike race? A high stakes poker game? A round of golf at a neutral site? A round of trivial pursuit. Do you think Trump gives two thoughts to what the guy in the funny hat in Rome says about politics? As far as U.S. Catholics they tend to site the pope's position when it agrees with theirs, ignore it when it clashes. For instance the two most prominent recent Democrat Catholic politicians. Former Speaker Pelosi & former President Biden. Both ignored the churches positions on abortion. Republicans that are in favor of the death penalty ignore the churches position on that issue.

This was an important part of the article: Chinese Communist claims WITHOUT EVIDENCE! The high security lab at Fort Detrick has long been linked by Chinese propagandists to the outbreak of Covid-19 - without evidence The high security lab at Fort Detrick has long been linked by Chinese propagandists to the outbreak of Covid-19 - without evidence

Where in that statement do you read the U.S. won the war all by itself?

Chinese red arrow 12 anti tank missile, similar to the U.S. Javelin. 22 KG 2,000 meter night range, 4,000 day range Tandem shaped charge. Estimated armor penetration 1,000 mm + top attack capable. Should be air borne and air Assault usable.

I wonder why short barrel rifles were such a big deal when the act was written? When people want to conceal a rifle does not come to mind. Can't see the Ds going along with any change in the law that loosens any reg because ......... reasons. For instance if some one wanted to legalize a theoretical noise reduction device that would cut noise to a safer level the Ds would oppose it because ............. reasons.

Would terrorist groups be subject to the act? I believe MS-13 was declared a terrorist group.
