This was a question on Jeopardy LAST NIGHT! You sir are ahead of the curve!

With regard to today's SCOTUS ruling on expanding access to CC. I really don't think this case should have been heard at all. New York changed the original law (which WAS unreasonably restrictive) before the case was heard so it should have been moot. The fact the the Court took a moot case smacks of activism looking for a place to happen. If I hate it when the liberal justices do it I'm going to hate it when the conservative justices do it. I have always thought CC was the purview of the state. Its up to the voters and legislature of each state to decide. Of course this is a over reaction to an over restriction. That is what over restriction generally get. It's all well and good to not prohibit ownership of firearms (within reason) but when you turn around and make it illegal to transport them outside the home under any condition (even driving to the range which it what this was all about) this is what you get.

Completely agree!

Just read this at G's suggestion. She loves having me read books she likes and then discussing them: One of the main point the writer was trying to hit was that evangelical whites follow leaders that are the exact opposite of the Christian moral ideal. Well... no s--t. But she whiffs pretty badly as to the reasons why. To her it all comes down to racism and toxic masculinity. A rather unimaginative and sophomoric explanation from someone looking down their nose at those poor deluded rubes. The reason IMO is that you have the left on one side that, on some issues, actually does follow the Judeo-Christian ethic but is outwardly and vocally hostile to the practice of religion, particularly Christianity. On the other hand you have the right that says the right things even though they don't actually DO right. The writer would argue it's not a cynical lesser evil choice that evangelicals are making. And while that might be true for some, IMO for most it is a lesser evil choice. Although most don't put much thought into it. They hear one side talking about faith, God, and America and the other castigating, denigrating, and vocally trying to ban people with religious convictions from the political arena. It really isn't more complicated than that. People generally are too bust living their lives to read about Donald Trump's marriages, kinks, trysts, many wives, etc. But, you guys all know where I stand on choosing "lesser evils". I love G. No doubt about that. But I really try not to engage her in pollical/social discussions because she gets really mad when hearing opposing opinions. And my political opinions don't fit neatly into any framework she can relate to.

I became king of Sweden in CK3 this morning. I can only imagine what feats I'll accomplish in the real world before the sun sets! BTW, @Azdeus you should refer to me as hans Majestät until further notice!

It's a beautiful time to be alive if you like TV isn't it? I remember when I was a kid and we had a choice of three channels. In you hat to turn the aerial antenna in different directions for each!

Hey I've liked the Obi Wan series so far. Yeah is has some plot holes and and few other story telling flaws but it's been good for me. I've really liked The Manadlorian. Haven't gotten into the Book of Boba Fett yet. When I've watched all these I'm cancelling Disney until the next season or series comes out. This is the way. I'd totally watch the heck out of this idea:

Anyone who wants to kidnap you better been in Olympic level shape. If you can't out run them you'd out ride them. And if that didn't work you'd outswim them.

TRUTH!!!!

So the guy who was trying to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh because he supports the 2A was carrying a gun to do the deed. I don't know if it's appropriate to chuckle about that or not but I generally find irony to be very humorous. Just in case anyone was wondering, the Supreme Court has rendered 0 decisions on 2nd Amendment cases since Kavanaugh joined the court.
