Can’t wait for Congress to cry about it since they just voted on it.


Senate is on vacation till mid July thanks to Thune. I wonder if that was part of the plan.
What the Measure Would Do
IP28 would remove long-standing legal exemptions from Oregon’s animal cruelty laws, meaning:

Hunting and fishing (sport and commercial) would be classified as animal abuse.

Trapping for pest control or wildlife management would be illegal.

Livestock farming and ranching would be banned, including breeding, milking, dehorning, docking, and artificial insemination — all of which would be labeled “sexual abuse” under the measure Yahoo+1.

Scientific research involving animals and rodeos would also be prohibited.

Tribal subsistence and ceremonial hunting/fishing would be banned.
Nixon had just won by a landslip and very popular. I had some people at different times that were around at the time, said if he just came out in the beginning and confessed and did an apology it would have been a nothing burger. Instead he tried to cover it up and sweep it under the rug. And then it festered.

I still think the CIA had something to do about it.

In my area Wendy's is getting more competition with Whataburger and Culver's expanding and opening up plus others. Both of those are private. I tried McD's the other day and it was nasty. Yet it has a cult following. I'm burned out on Red Robin. Way over priced.
What's happened to XRX the past five years?

Maybe Trump is trying to play good cop with the food handout and such and let Bebe and Israel play the bad cop. Slick.

Plus he is selling our grain from their money to them. Win for the US farmer.

We had a 72% tax braket until the 1970s


It seems the estate tax then was 77% and Reagan lowered it to 50% in the mid 80's. Allowing for great transfer of wealth to the next generation.
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the room with Hillary when she found out she lost. Interesting no video of it. I heard they kept people from taping her. I bet she had an epic meltdown.
Buc-ee's has ruined it for the little guy.

Circle K's and have taking over Huntsville. Along with Twice Daily. Then there is Costco, Sam's, Bj's and now Kroger selling gasoline.

I used to wait for my competitors to dropped before I would.


That is what dad and I would do. Wait for the competition to drop first. We felt doing it first was like shooting yourself in the foot. I'm glad I'm out of that business. The chains have taking over here.

When we would see something like a war about to start or a refinery catch on fire to cause it to go up we'd fill up the tanks. No loss leader for us. We made money at everything.
Another thing seems many low IQ people lack a moral code. Or they can not distinguish wrong from right. Many poor and low IQ have an entitlement mentality.
I've notice low IQ people can be great manipulators and con artists. I think it a survival instinct in them. Intelligent people do not have to scam to get by. They have good to high paying careers.

Iran is about to learn a lesson


They are testing Trump's will. He threw them a lifeline and an olive branch and they spit in his face.

I do admit that it’s pretty crappy of us and the rest of the West to feed them just enough ammunition to fight, but not win.


Yes and sadly many are losing their life over this. The killing fields.
Trump and the US needs to slowly walk away. Let them deal with that. Closing the SOH seems like Iran is poisoning its own well since it is their economic life line.

My generation went through Y2K


What a hoax that turned out to be.

I think one of the pluses with capitalism over communism is the goal of efficiency. Communism just needs jobs to keep the worker employed with efficiency be damned. Stalin didn't want his soldiers coming back from Germany to report how advanced Germany was. Nixon had his kitchen debate with Khrushchev in the late 50's over labor saving devices. etc.

We adjust and survive.
Sometimes you have to pickup what marbles you have left and go home. Plus congress was riding his arse to end the war. We are not ready for the modern warfare of cheap drones. Lastly, I think he is trying to salvage the midterms.
I didn't know Cuba has a ton of oil like Iran does to buy drones and missiles.

He had some intelligence that wasn’t right in hindsight but at the time, but many intelligent people believed the regime was weak and could be defeated in an air campaign


I keeping wonder that. I think he believed the people would rise up to the status quo in power and start a civil unrest. It didn't happened. I bet the CIA was behind his failed intelligence. Don't trust the CIA. At least he didn't put boots on the ground like W did with Iraq and the search for WMD.

Can you cash in by selling your land. Plenty of hunting land in Alabama.
