    the 'news' has got to come from someplace and I for sure dont trust MSNBC/CNN and the alphabet channels (ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS, et al.) not with all the proven lies they have been caught in and spreading .. I get my info from various outlets, yea, most are conservative leaning, I trust conservatives to be more forthright than any dem and thats for damn sure ... I really dont watch much Foxnews, I do read 'news' on their web page. Fox is # 1 for a reason, and it aint about lying to the public and spreading those lies as truth ... I dont 'tweet' nor facebook either, but if a link sends me there and its something I want to read, I'll read it and make up my own mind, which is exactly what Tucker is doing with the J6 vids, watch it and make up your own mind ... he's showing the actual vids with no editing, unlike what the J6 commission did... hell that pansy assed commission hired people from ABC to 'create' a narrative from the vids, they cut and pasted the vids to show WHAT THEY WANTED you to believe was true to push their own narratives, and of course much of it wasnt true at all ... ex. officer Sicknick walking around ALIVE at the time the media/NYTimes/politicians said he was bludgeoned to death by a fire extinguisher ... and there wasnt 5 officers killed that day either, another false narrative ....
    ***************
    "But when you see what Carlson’s team has put together over the past two weeks of combing through thousands of hours of video, you will be struck by how different the reality was inside the building that day compared to the J6 committee’s deceptively edited primetime dramas, produced by a former ABC News president for maximum emotional impact.

    For instance, Carlson’s team says the J6 committee added audio to silent CCTV footage, inserting screams and other crowd mayhem sounds, to make it seem more ominous. The bookmarks on the video trove show the J6 committee had access to the same footage yet chose to show America only what suited its divisive narrative.

    There’s no sugarcoating what happened that day: J6 was shocking and violent in parts. It remains a stain on the nation, but it was not an “insurrection” or a “terrorist” attack."

    Just ask "the boob" if men can request an abortion of their child. My sperm, my child.

    Then ask him if a biological female who gets pregnant as a self identified male can have an abortion.

    Germ is smarter, wiser, trickier and not bound by government. Just ask him.

    Great post Fletch!

    I remember a post Sota made a few years ago.
    Something to do with "going out and having a beer with Germ"
    I believe I could also (one), and although I don't agree with 90% of what he says, I Do respect the manner he delivers his thoughts.

    Well there it is as I said plea agreements. They got a lot of these convictions through plea agreements AFTER they destroyed all their civil rights ,holding them without bail, holding them on made up charges. Illegally holding off hearings.

    Like it or not I will continue to wish bad things upon the lives of every single person that perpetrated the Jan 6 lies. The ones that spit on this countries written justice system.

    Like most of us, he eventually gives up when truths are ignored. He could hand you the smoking gun and you would immediately dismiss it as planted evidence. Blind faith in any person or institution is a fools game.

    The best "politics" in this country are parents raising their kids with as much love as possible. If everyone does that, we are set!

    That use to be true, unfortunately parents started dropping the ball when I was in school and will be 65 in 3 weeks. Now the state has your kids and grand kids. All the love in the world can't beat 5 days ,7hrs a day of indoctrination. Add to that their after hour on line efforts

    They'll probably find them to be American military guns. How many sent to Ukraine, left in Afghanistan with zero accounting... Bidens death machine . Give him credit people he did get America on top around the world again. Firmly on top of terrorists wish list.

    Thanks, Fletch, but I would have never known or seen, why I ignored him. The app does shows quotes ignored when others quote a post, but the site will not show the content which is nice. I have ignored some of these folks for two years, I have not responded to or engaged with them and yet they still try to with me.

    Call me whatever you want, I have a great life, a beautiful wife, two great kids, great friends, and a big buck finally upstairs over my fireplace.

    What the hell else does a man need?

    A fishing boat, but otherwise, sounds like a great life.

    has the big crash started ?? ..... many middle class families are hurting right now, in debt to their ears, many cant make auto loan or mortgage payments, repos are sky rocketing, new auto/Truck prices are just plain stupid... housing has crashed in many areas and more and more are living paycheck to paycheck and dont have enough in savings to cover simple emergencies ... Social Security has about tens years left and Medicare a handful it has been said ... and O'biden is brain dead and senile ... just sayin' ....

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FCIC) has assumed control of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to protect depositors from losing all of their money after it was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

    Federal banking regulators on March 10 took custody of the country’s 16th largest bank, which was a top lender for American tech and life sciences firms and start-ups, according to a press release.

    *** The collapse of the California bank is the largest bank failure since Washington Mutual in 2008, during the last major bank crisis.

    unlike yourself, my head isnt buried in the sand ... educate yourself by reading, and I'm not talking the MSM either ... knowledge is power, education is power ... just try reading a newspaper, read some books, the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Forbes, Market Watch, Bloomberg, Farmers Weekly, etc.... but then again, those would seem to be over your head. ... smh ...

    You must have a huge amount of time daily to be so informed?
    It's amazing that since you've graced this place, how many things you've posted (stories) have come through with an outcome that ......

    Few days behind so maybe this has been hashed out. But while obviously you have more knowledge of police tactics on here than most, a federal building should not be breached unless it was allowed. Especially by a unarmed crowd. Granted it's been 20 years but but the places I went to while at Quantico, FBI building and pentagon mostly, had mag locks on doors and other hardline security everywhere. And takes nothing to engage besides the push of a button. And after that it takes blowing a whole in wall to get through. If remember correctly van basically mag dump a ak into the glass and it's not getting through.

    Again this was 20 years ago and alot closer to 9/11 so maybe it's been laxed but doubt it. My guess is some things were slightly allowed to prove a point that orange man and his followers are crazy. And the mooks ate it all up and still are despite the fact it was goin on all summer long and encouraged by the same outraged politicians that acted like they got saved from the middle of Baghdad. It's ridiculous. And not in the slightest that big of a deal. I mean the great revolutionary war 2 lasted what 3 hours, please. How long was blocks of Portland occupied for? Nothing to worry there. My guess is all these politicians that thought they were untouchable by the peasants found out they were touchable and got their pride hurt and wet their pants. Lets not forget the outraged when Trump cleared blocks of ppl to do a "photo op" in front of the church that got burned down blocks from WH by peaceful protesters. He was able to do that for good pr but they couldn't clear the Capitol building? Kinda odd

    I make time .. I make time to do many many things, sometimes feeling rushed, but I still make time ... like running before work, I make time to do 3-5 miles .. peruse the economy/business sites, just finished doing that, it dosnt take long ... spent 5 hours cutting trimming 4 new stand locations today, I made time to do that ... I also practice with the bow(s) multiple times a week .. its all about making time and time management ... one thing I have missed is my Steelhead fishing this winter, with all the rain recently, the rivers have sucked and are again high and are muddy as all get out .... hopefully I'll get back down to the dams this spring for White Bass/Walleye/Smallmouth ..
