Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
Seems to me the focus on police is misplaced. You can count the number of blacks killed by police in the entire US on your fingers and toes, and the ones not resisting arrest or attempting to flee the scene of the crime on one hand. You would need a few more hands and toes to count the number of pol...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
With the absence/withdrawal of the police element in our society, my take is that it becomes a free for all, pitting the armed against the unarmed, which promises to be ugly, but the armed will prevail. My response is to stock up on ammo and have three serviceable guns, a 12 gage shotgun, a high-pow...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
I like the observations I've read at Instapundit.com, a conservative blog. That's where I found the comment, which they repeat, "The cities that voted almost unanimously for Democrat candidates to fill all the local elective offices are now getting what they voted for, good and hard". Jed Clampet, t...

Re: Chaos in USA
boing , I don't like single officer patrols, either. Any savings pale in comparison to the risks, especially in a tough neighborhood. In my jurisdiction the police are fairly well paid, with a journeyman officer making a solid middle to upper-middle class income along with a cushy retirement and be...

Re: Chaos in USA
The current buzz to defund the police departments in our crime-ridden, Democrat-run major cities, is insanity. The people who benefit are the criminals and the prisoners let go. The people hurt are those trying to make a living and get by with a working ethic, holding their families together, and pr...

Re: Made in China.
The carnage in Cambodia happened after the US Congress cut off Southeast Asia military funding in the aftermath of Watergate, 1974-5. The US had nothing to do with that genocide. I knew a few USAF who trained Cambodians in the US before the fall. They were quite distraught at the turn of events back...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Can you quarantine at home or do you have to stay at a government mandated hotel? My wife is having the same problem trying to go to Australia. Right now she would have to stay in a designated hotel in Sydney (expensive) for two weeks before she is released to go see her Mum. We've been having simil...

I know Seenenough's State, but it's up to his discretion to disclose it. But I can report a similar experience. I live between Democrat enclaves of Ann Arbor and Detroit in Canton, Michigan, a Republican stronghold. Our police force robustly patrols our streets and our population is known for being ...

Are you suggesting Pol Pot was an American stooge?Millions more died there as an, only slightly indirect, effect of The American War across the border.

Re: Chaos in USA
I wonder, too, about the application of Posse Comitatus if the US active duty military is called upon to apply its force against US citizens in insurrection. The question is whether emergency conditions and emergency powers of the president override the constraints of Posse Comitatus. The issue may ...

Re: Chaos in USA
As I recall Kent State's turmoil resulted in four, not thirteen, fatalities. But that's a quibble. I'd like more detail on the 'attack on Australian journalists' before I come to a conclusion. Why were they attacked, what were they doing, did they resist security efforts? Regarding real bullets flyi...

Re: Chaos in USA
True, in the last 10 years right wing terrorists have killed more people than Jihadi terrorists. No, that's false. You can't label all the mass shooters as right wing terrorists, as has been done in the media. In fact, right wing activism is minimal. Such **** really do exist in a Murrica. I'm not ...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
My contention with 'vote by mail' is not with the process of doing that, but with the structure of it not being protective of the integrity of the vote. Should the proponents of 'vote by mail' come up with solid constraints against fraudulent votes, especially in urban, Democrat-ruled precincts wher...

Who needs to belong to the WHO when you have a President who is an expert on health issues, and millions who believe him ? Precisely. He has assembled a cast of experts and advisors to inform him, then he makes the tough calls to set policy. That's why we have presidential elections, to put in our ...

Have your gunboats stopped bumping into each other and catching flu? No. The Hong Kong situation has a ways to play out. Hong Kong is a huge economic element and has a large part of China's economy.

llondel The beauty of our system is that the wash comes out in November, when the people have had their say. There is a scramble now to see how many votes the Democrats can steal by virtue of vote by mail, but the backbone of America is used to that and they have prevailed recently. I'm hoping that...

Sasless,
We need you here, fighting the good fight. And this forum offers a pretty long leash for your expression. The opposition's more outrageous assertions just give us more to sink our teeth into, and hones our intellects.
