  1. She’s definitely a Putin asset. Unfit for office Also on the Trump Crime Family payroll. I wonder if they have video
  2. He's about 140, still might hit more than Grossman
  3. Was that back when they tried to cash in on his popularity and named the LF stands under the scoreboard Higgy's Back Yard?
  4. You have to be a member of the party to participate. Sound familiar? Germany in the 1930s, Russia under Stalin et all?
  5. It's not just DeSantis. Another POTUS wannabe has similar ideas.
  6. Especially since there are so many GOP choices.
  7. The Trumpublican candidate for Grand Poobah of Pennsylvania's platform on elections... https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/a-crisis-of-patriotism If a Democrat had proposed this our resident TrumpBot would be up in arms. instead he's probably speechless.
  8. The United States did not have a professional standing army in 1791. At best the military could be akin to the National Guard. Basically any able bodied free white male could be conscripted into service by way of a local draft if necessary (they could also buy their way out as many did in the Civil War). A constant standing army wasn't around until the early 1800's. Well regulated militia basically meant that the volunteers needed to be ready in case there was a need. To be in fighting shape. Once the US established a regular full time militia the term basically became moot, imo.
  9. Reportedly two officers shot During fireworks show edited to change status of police
  10. If you're looking for some light campy TV check out Bathtubs Over Broadway on Neflex. It's a look at the world of industrial musicals of a time not so long ago...
  11. One of my favorite lines from the story
  12. Damn, I thought that was Amedeo Obici (Founder of Planters Peanuts)
  13. Re slavery, I learned something today during a presentation at Colonial Williamsburg. I only caught part of the story as we were just resting under the giant oak for a bit. Anyway, during the pre Revolutionary times slaves could buy their freedom if they could afford to. They still needed permission from the Colonial Governor and pay a "Freedom Tax". The tax was good for 6 years and the rate increased incrementally every time. If they couldn't afford the tax, back into bondage. Interesting that part of history never came up when we were taught in high school 50 years ago. I doubt that it comes up today.
  14. I'd throw VaTech into the mix as well. Very similar to MSU educationally. Like UVa borderline in sports. They're competitive, not great.
  15. Nothing shows respect for the flag than over commercializing it
  16. https://www.motorsportsgateway.com/garages This is what I was asking about. They just received approval from Howell
  17. This tweet held up well.. Unfortunately
  18. The case, called Moore v. Harper, is centered on newly drawn maps of voting districts for North Carolina's 14 seats in the next U.S. House of Representatives. Republican state lawmakers want to resurrect a map that North Carolina's state courts struck down, finding that the map approved by the GOP-controlled legislature violated multiple provisions in the state's constitution by giving Republican candidates an unfair advantage through partisan gerrymandering. A court-drawn map has been put in place instead for this year's midterm elections. In their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, however, the Republican lawmakers argue that the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause gives state legislatures the power to determine how congressional elections are conducted without any checks and balances from state constitutions or state courts.
