Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Respect and condolences to the Royal family. He held and served his station well over an extended time. The Queen picked a good one, as did he.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Nice show up in DC today.

President Trump is still kicking and won't admit it's over until it's over. If that comes to pass he'll depart gracefully.

Maybe, but for now they're at the pinnacle of the US government. Election day tells the tale.

Re: Chaos in Spain
You need 20 pounds of jasmine rice, ten 4 ounce jars of red Thai curry paste, 8 liters extra virgin olive oil, forty pounds chicken breasts/beef loins, 200 gallons of potable water, a replenishable heat source and fuel able to bring your large saucepan (with cooking tools) to a boil, forty pounds of...

Re: War in Australia - Australian Politics
My brother in law, and best friend in Oz, serves as a councilor in the North Adelaide suburbs. He is also the executive director of the local footie club/community center, which involves the Aussie rules football team (with paid players), and the cricket team, a thriving restaurant, open all day, tw...

Re: Chaos in USA
I've never gotten why the obviously simple solution, issuing a voter ID card that also serves as a national ID, hasn't received universal acclaim. The truth is that Democrats don't want a simple, iron-clad system because it would cripple the corrupt vote-stealing machine apparatus that is well-estab...

Re: Chaos in USA
That's a good point, prospector , but historically most SC justices retire before they die, even though the appointment is for life. In the more recent case of Justice Scalia, who died suddenly and unexpectedly, the vacancy was quickly filled and the court proceeded mostly unaffected, as a Republica...

Re: Chaos in USA
You could be right on this one, 1DC . In the last two years I've only been to Canada, Mexico and Australia. My sense of Canada and Australia is that mostly they are negative Trump. My sense of Mexico is that they like him at street level. I think part of that is that they are opposed to drug cartels...

Re: Chaos in USA
1DC , I suggest that President Trump has elevated respect of the US over his term. He has done this through trade negotiations, dealing with Iran and N. Korea, reassuming US border control, et al. To say he has no respect outside the US is an insult that does not reflect reality. There is a lot of r...

Re: Chaos in USA
The American electorate will be the arbiters of President Trump's performance in November. There's a long way to go between now and then. I tend to think that once candidate Biden is forced to stand at the podium facing President Trump, his standing will wither as I think he will be woefully exposed...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
The message, enduring, of Martin Luther King, Jr. was that the content of your character defines you, not your skin color or any other identity. To me that is unvarnished truth and belongs on the totem of our civilization. I abhor favoring, subsidizing, or providing advantages based on race, gender,...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
President Trump's full speech at Mt. Rushmore. I thought it was quite good, epic maybe. I defy anyone to claim xenophobia, racism, and all the other cancel tactics. It was an affirmation of America's heritage. https://www.c-span.org/video/?473617-1/president-trumps-remarks-mt-rushmore-salute-america...

Re: Chaos in USA
I should have said the Merkel K3 Stutzen rifle is single shot, but a breech loaded, not bolt action rifle. The few others I've browsed are bolt action. Browning still makes them. The rounds in high quality Federal 200 round boxes run about $1/round, if you can find them these days. There's a run on ...

Got this flash from the past in the mail. Very prescient to say this in 1964. Hope the link works.

Re: Chaos in USA
I haven't seriously looked at the used market, but the new, single shot K3 goes for $5,000 or so. That's a steep price but it's an instant heirloom if cared for, built to last for generations of regular use. My local 'Cabela's had a used one and allowed me to handle it. It was immediately clear that...

Re: Hong Kong
My hunch is that Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong would be an asset, unlike the recently favored ethnicity fond of UK welfare and hostile to UK culture. I've spent significant time in Hong Kong and always marveled at the energy and work ethic wherever you go. They don't all work in Mom and Pop Chin...

When I go to Mexico, where I am now, I cannot have firearms or bring them in, like all Mexicans. I'm sure I could acquire one in Playa del Carmen if I wished, which I don't. I live in a resort complex, a gated community with three access gates guarded by armed security guards. Ample security roams t...
