If he thought she was crazy why would he repeat her Facebook shitpost-level source claims about stuff, in a nationally televised debate he basically needed to win?
I am nursing the theory that the dude basically wants to lose.

Wasn’t this lady also playing the role of fucktoy for him? Those two going at it doesn’t conjure a positive mental image.
K-Mart sucks, Ray.
This. It is already 100% illegal to manufacture new machineguns at the Federal level, which carries a 10 year prison sentence for each count, not to mention the felonious assaults that occurred.
The official saying this is literally just coming up with the most half assed “not our fault” bit of press junket garbage he can. Either that or he is deliberately lying because he doesn’t align politically with the state level politicians and wants to try to apply false blame to them.
It is unconstitutional to outlaw Glock handguns, and the full auto bits are already illegal. The actual solution is to 1) find the perps and put them under the fucking jail and 2) sanction the fuck out of Chinese commercial entities that are actively trying to destabilize the US with fentanyl and illegal weapons.
I know a lot of international adoptees and certainly have mixed feelings about it.
I think it is natural, as countries modernize and grow economically, that they begin to see diminishing value in outsourcing orphaned kids. It becomes something of a point of pride or pseudo nationalism.
It is also worth mentioning however that many Asian countries in particular have a cultural tradition emphasising the importance of blood heritage etc. That cuts against the viability of domestic adoption in those countries. It is an uncomfortable fact. Nations like China, Japan, and Korea, have work to do in reforming the cultural acceptance of domestic adoption.
As a general principle it seems that the preferred option on behalf of the child should always be adoption by close relative, followed by an adoptive family in their culture of origin, with international adoption as a last resort. Children deserve loving families and any of the above scenarios is better than an institutional orphange in any country.
EDIT: Obviously none of this is meant to downplay the seriousness of adoption fraud. We can all agree that practice is dispicable.
The pics I saw indicate it was actually an SKS that was bubba’d (crappy polymer stock) so the dude probably bought it out of the back of someone’s trunk or at a gunshow.
I bought the original on Steam sale about a year ago. Played 2-3 hours. Didn’t really feel hooked by the story or the gameplay. Graphics looked great to me on the SteamDeck.
The reporting placed the gunmans position across the street from the golf course, so yes you’re correct, but only in a semantic sense.
If I am not mistaken FL has one of those statutes that permits Open Carry only while lawfully engaged in fishing/hunting/camping.
In some states it is legal to open carry a rifle on a sling in public. Pointing it at/across a public street from a semi-concealed position, as the suspect was, isn’t legal in almost any situation, in any state.
Yes I’m not saying there was zero violence in society. There were things like Al Capone’s St. Valentines Day Massacre, Bonnie and Clyde, the Kansas City Union Station shootout, etc. but these were extreme outliers in society at large and were international news because of it.
What is relatively new is the concept of an average student or worker becoming disgruntled and deciding to mass murder peers in a singular incident, usually with some grandiose manifesto attached to it.
Last report I saw was the suspect left an “AK47 type rifle” with a scope, at a vantage point 300-500 yards from Trump’s location at the time.
Now granted journalists don’t tend to know a damn thing about firearms, or ask good follow up questions so who knows, it could be a DMR type of rifle like an SVD that the uninformed would mistake for an AK.
But if it’s just a standard 7.62 x 39 AK pattern rifle, scoped or not, that’s … very optimistic at that range.
Something definitely broke in society around that time though, and “access to guns” only describes an outlet or mechanism, and not the underlying problem.
Pre-1968, civilians could buy full auto machineguns. At one point in the 1930s the Sears catalog would send a full auto Tommy Gun straight to your house via mail order with no background check. And yet in those eras the idea of a grand spectacle suicide/homicide event would have been absolutely unthinkable, even among the most disposessed in society.
The root problem is something more like cultural narcissm, for lack of a better word.
The concept of a deep cynical anti-hero move like publicly murdering pseudo-random aquaintances is a relatively modern problem. Maybe we need to do a better job suppressing “main character vibes” and narcissism, the acting out and sociopathy that is prevalent now.

Purely strategically, the best bet is for NATO to fund and lend/lease materiel to Ukraine sufficient to make the Russian effort protracted and expensive. Maybe Ukraine can solidify some territorial gains in Russian oblasts enough to have bargaining chips. From there it is just a game of finding acceptable off-ramps. Maybe a treaty gets signed that trades territory back to something like the “original” borders circa the beginning to the current conflict.
Russia clearly doesn’t care about personnel losses (and historically never has). But maybe if it drags on, the conflict will become economically and politically costly enough that Putin is looking for offramps.
This sounds awesome. It uses the native YouTube app? Or YouTube in the TV web browser?
This lady looks like a GoT style witch. I guess Trump is Stannis in that scenario, only with less charisma.
I pitched commemorative 9/11 Jenga (comes with 2 block towers) and people didn’t like that idea either.
An earlier story said the door was propped open, as if for airflow or something.
If you are paranoid you can literally just take one of those Ring indoor cameras and put it on top of your safe. The app includes custom notifications on detected motion.
Now, the kid could still go out of their way to disable the home WiFi or something but that level of premeditation is a different problem entirely.
First preference would be educating your kids on the safe handling of guns from an early age and inculcating in them a set of values that shows guns are for defensive purposes and not for interpersonal conflict resolution.
The secondary strategy is storing your firearms in a locked safe the kids do not know the combination to, in a locked room to which they don’t have a key.
The most secure endpoint is one that is completely inaccessible because the underlying service isn’t running.
