Cops are not immune to being part of the gun violence problem this country has. That any state in this nation today would allow a cop to enter a courthouse armed is shows poor judgment on the part of legislators. This isn't the first time a cop has killed a judge in the courthouse, even in the...

I have doubts about any landslide victory for either candidate. If Harris wins in a landslide, it may very well be abortion that helps propel that result. For decades very conservative Republicans could run on a platform that included a no compromise approach to abortion — staking out the...

I don't see how this relates to the topic of this thread at all. It has nothing to do with the security Trump gets. This really should have gone in a separate thread. I also have no idea what tax plan with regard to § 401(k) plans you are talking about. The Tax Foundation put out just a week...

That sounds good in theory and I understand the sentiment behind it. Trump deserves great protection. In practice, however, providing protect that equals that given the current president is unrealistic. Doing that would at the very least require a massive increase in funding, starting with...

I don't doubt that Don Jr. is very upset about the wackos who have takne or tried to take (literal) shots at his father. Rightfully so. From what I've read of the latest would be shooter he appears to have mental problems and would benefit from a long stretch of time in a mental hospital...

Tucker Carlson doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. He says the things that he knows will fire up his viewer/listeners and doesn't seem to care much about accuracy. That is one of the reasons he was finally edged out of Fox. It wasn't a money decision; Tucker was bringing in more...

The thing you need to understand is that I firmly believe that Trump is precisely what is NOT right for the country. One can believe that Trump is a disaster and still be a Republican. I'm not fond of Harris either, but as between the two of them, Harris is for me the lesser of two evils. If you...

Let me tell you a truth you may not want to hear: those theories found on some anti-government web sites that claim you have to have a contract with government before it may enforce the law against you are all garbage. The statutes and case law are very clear: you are subject to federal and...

They wouldn't be prosecuted. The Supreme Court has held that burning the American flag is political speech protected by the First Amendment. Trump signing the Flag would similarly be protected. Very few Americans actually know the U.S. Flag Code let alone rigorously follow it. I'm willing to bet...

I certainly hope he will accept the outcome if he loses (if he wins, he'll of course say it was the greatest win in history). It would be refreshing to see Trump end an unsuccessful campaign with dignity and a respect for the choice of the voters.

Ok, so you were convicted of the crime of failing to display insurance after a trial, right? The judge then sentenced you to a jail term as a result. That's not false imprisonment. You had due process; the trial gave you the opportunity to challenge the state's case and evidently the court...

Look, I know you support Trump but you can still support him and admit that he just didn't do well in the debate. It wasn't the debate format that made him look bad. It's how he handled himself in the debate that made him look bad. My guess is that he didn't really prepare all that much for it...

Your Alf picture is way too small to read what it says.

It's worth remembering that Donald Trump wanted the debate and got many of the conditions he set for participating in this debate. He knew who was going to ask the questions, he knew the format for the debate as his campaign participated in designing it, he knew the technology set up too, as he...

Offering all the help in the world doesn't do any good for those unwilling to take it. The article ArmyJudge posted mentions that Josh had that problem, too: he refused offered help from his family. A significant part of the homeless population falls into that category. Many of those who refuse...

Trump wasn't at his best, certainly. For me leading up to the debate there was a question of which version of Trump would show up for the debate and the one we got in the debate was the one that is gloomy regarding the state of the nation, who tended to wander off-topic and that reacted poorly...

I get the spirit in which you said that, but that's something we of course wouldn't want to occur. Everyone would end up paying for that, whether in a blue or red state. IMO one of the most challenging problems for our national politicians is that the needs of urban areas and rural areas are...

Nice article on the subject. Unfortunately where I live now few men even own a suit, much less wear one except maybe to a funeral. About the only men I see wearing one are lawyers going to court and some of the older bankers and financial advisors. I wear one fairly frequently because tax...

And as you correctly pointed out, there was no rule in the Constitution at the time preventing him from doing it. There were reasons for the tradition, which is why the Constitution was amended after Roosevelt died to elevate that tradition to a Constitutional requirement. Whatever you think of...

It did? Exactly which ones and what did they do? And are you sure the Trump was himself always faithful to the Constitution during his administration? Specifically which order of the Court do you claim it violated? Or is just your opinion that the administration didn't following a holding of...
