Oregon Petition to Ban Hunting

Oregon Initiative Petition 28 — officially titled the PEACE Act (People for Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions) — would eliminate the legal exemptions that currently protect hunting, fishing, trapping, and farming from Oregon's animal abuse statutes (ORS 167.315–167.333).

Under current Oregon law, these activities are explicitly exempted from criminal animal abuse charges. IP28 would remove those exemptions entirely, making all of the following criminal acts under state law:


This was big news in Alaska. Oddly, haven’t heard anything about it here.

You just called every single vet that has been in an armed conflict since and including Vietnam a murderer.



No.


I reserve that for the people that ordered them there.


If I declared that my neighbor was a murdering rapist, I could not just kill the guy. Just because the Deep State declares some Iranian dude a ‘terrorist’ doesn’t mean we can just kill them.

I find it strange that the MAGA folks were all ‘drain the swamp’, but will happily kill foreigners when that same swamp tells them to. Same people defended Obama when he killed US citizens with drones.

We haven’t had a declared war since 1943


And thus, every person we’ve killed using the US military in a non-defensive action is murder. Glad you are following along.

killing the people who directed targets be put on Americans' backs is completely in-bounds.


America overthrows the popularly elected gov’t that tried to nationalize their oil and installs a brutal dictator. That guy gets overthrown. We can’t understand why Iranians chant ‘death to America’.

America funds Saddam Hussein’s war against Iran where chemical weapons were used. We create a civil war in Iraq pitting Shia against Sunni. We can’t understand why Iran is supporting the Shia insurgents.

And yes, no matter what the rationale, killing people in an undeclared war is murder. Pure and simple. If you think you can make a criminal case, arrest them or try them in absentia.

I mean, we did relentlessly bomb the shite out of their country and kill their leader, his son, and like 50% of their other leaders.


So murdering political leaders in an undeclared war is a W somehow? I guess he didn’t drone any American citizens like Obama did, but we did bomb a school and kill a bunch of kids. Totally worth it IMO. :rolleyes:
So….. You won’t let them spy on Americans unless we get ‘free and fair’ elections? What a bizarre time we live in.

Actually lost a ‘friend’ on FB over this a couple of years ago. Talk about a lefty, lunatic. It’s the fricking OK sign. The fact that some people think it’s racist says more about them than it does us.

If your spouse's employer does not offer an HSA program, she would not be eligible for payroll deduction contributions and would have to contribute to her account separately post tax


Mainly to save $17K per year tax free versus $8750.

Though, I don't know of much of a reason to do so since you can use the same HSA account to reimburse for either of your expenses.


This is my main question. She can contribute tax deductible to an IRA. Assumed any HSA contributions would also be tax deductible. We can get the accountant to setup pre-tax withdrawals to the HSA account.

HSA Question

Posted by Aubie Spr96 on 6/16/26 at 10:00 am
I have an HSA health plan from my employer. It covers me and my wife. I contribute and my employer does as well. My wife owns her business and does not offer health insurance.

I’m reading Fidelity’s website. It says,

You are eligible to open an HSA account if:

• You’re enrolled in an HSA eligible health plan through your insurance or your spouse’s
• You have a SS#

Does this mean she can open her own HSA savings account and reference my existing coverage or would she need to get her own high deductible plan to setup an HSA account?


TIA.

"A full ban is the right choice," the prime minister says, adding "this is not something I do lightly"
TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram are among the apps that could be included
The measures are part of the government's plans to protect young people from harm online and address unhealthy late-night scrolling on phones
A consultation, which concluded earlier this year and had more than 116,000 responses, found that 85% of parents believe the risk of social media outweigh the benefits

The brewery there was good. I thought it was an Alaskan version of Gatlinburg. We took a rock fishing trip and had a shore lunch. It was a lot of fun and shore lunch was worth it.
