re: After historic tax cuts, Texas lawmakers evaluate eliminating property taxes entirely
Posted by tarpley2000 on 9/5/24 at 2:47 pm
Did they account for a sales tax on the purchase of real estate? I would think by applying the current sales tax of 6.25% to all real estate purchases a substantial amount of money would be raised every year.
In addition cutting out the CAD bureaucracy would be a savings.
And at the end of the day you would own your property outright and not have to deal with the stress of the current property tax system.

Book called “On Killing” by Dave Grossman. Excellent book on the psychology of killing.
re: 2 of the 4 Sniper Teams were Local Cops

I definitely know it wasn’t the one in the video. Most likely the team to viewers right of the stage. They had a clear line of sight.
In regard to the delay of return fire, I am unsure. The tree in question could be larger than google shows and even the 2nd team had a hard time finding him. Most likely one teams sector was the left half and the others the right half of the roofs.
Also you have to realize there a lot of roofs from the counter snipers perspective. Google shows 4 buildings minimum. Without the shooter popping up right away not as easy as it seems to lay eyes on him.

This is only my “professional opinion” and only refers to the counter snipers actions - not the FUBAR leading up to the shot.
The two counter snipers behind Trump in the video did not have the shooter in their line of sight. They were searching for him (likely had coms that someone was on roof. Would like to see video of when they got on their scopes compared to when the crowd noticed shooter.).
As I had said previously the position of the shooter was obscured from the counter snipers view by the tree.
The reason the guy came off his scope was more than likely because coms called out the shooter popping over the roof ridge. Since the counter sniper did not see the shooter in his scope he pulled off so he could visually try to see where shooter was. Of course the shooter then shoots. Think about the timing of the guy coming off his scope and the shooters first shot.
The counter sniper team flinching and ducking is an expected response from them considering they have no visual on the shooter. If you have ever been shot at you would understand this. There is a reason the USSS undergoes extensive protective training. It takes training to not flinch or duck for cover.
I can assure you that if the counter sniper team had a visual on the shooter they would NOT have came off their scopes. Their actions are consistent with someone not having a target in sight.

re: The map of the layout.

No it’s not. The second one is the accurate one. Chopper video showed the sniper dead on the roof where the 2nd layout notes the sniper.

The sniper team in video did not have the shooter in sight. Their pre and post reactions are indicative of not having a visual of the shooter. No way that counter sniper comes off his scope if he had the shooter in his sight.

Sniper team on left(video) did not have shooter in sight. Shooter was obscured by a tree if you look at chopper video. Sniper team on viewers right likely took shooter out. Chopper video confirms.
re: Trump survives assassination attempt
Posted by tarpley2000 on 7/14/24 at 8:13 am
Most likely the counter sniper team positioned to viewers right of stage took the kill shot. The sniper team in the video did not have a line of sight in the shooter. There was chopper video that showed the shooter on the roof (dead) and if you triangulate his position to that of the sniper team in video there is a tree between them.
The sniper team to right of stage would have had a clear line of sight from the chopper video.
The sniper coming off his scope was looking for the shooter and could not find him. I can promise you if he had the shooter in his sight he would not have come off his scope.

re: Reportedly took the SS only 20 seconds to kill the assassin once DJT and others were
Posted by tarpley2000 on 7/14/24 at 6:43 am
The counter sniper team in the video (positioned left of stage) did not have a line of sight on the shooter. Appears a tree (not the tree in video) was blocking their view - they are farther behind the stage then they appear in video. The other counter sniper team positioned on the building to the right of the stage actually had line of sight on the shooter.
Google maps doesn’t do it justice. You have to see an actual shot of the rally set to see.

TDAmeritrade vs Schwab App

My TDAmeritrade accounts are now with Schwab after the purchase. The mobile trading app for Schwab is arse compared to TDA. Seems like a foreign language. Anyone have any advice?

re: You wouldn’t believe what the most dangerous breed of dog was
Posted by tarpley2000 on 4/12/23 at 1:51 pm
Purely anecdotal but I have been seeing more and more crossbreeding with Great Pyrenees. Take a big, strong, protective dog with a LGD mentality and crossbreed it with a breed with an aggressive temperament and you have a dog that can inflict some damage.
Also, you have more and more people getting a GP (or GP Cross) puppy - yes they are cute - as a “pet”.
Have had and been around pure bred GP’s all my life. Amazing dogs to watch do “their job”, but “pets” they are not.

That is the BORTAC agent that had the balls to do something. He comes in at 12:47 and walks down the hall like cool Hand Luke. He was the guy who shot the perp. Ended up with a graze wound to his head.
re: Winter Park restaurant recommendations?
Posted by tarpley2000 on 6/21/22 at 10:15 pm
Sunspot Lodge at Winter Park Resort. Nothing fancy but you get to ride the gondola to the top and views are amazing.
Hernando's Pizza Pub - Pizza and Italian. Actually, our favorite.
Deno's Mountain Bistro - Have only eaten there a couple of times and no complaints.
Devils Thumb Ranch in
Tabernash. It is pricey though.
If you have kids do Sunspot for sure but it is only for lunch I think during the summer.
