Will the GOP not agree to Iran’s agreement that it will…”ever seek, develop, or acquire nuclear weapons.”

Is this just a way of reducing prison expences during a drought?

http://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-announces-criminal-amnesty-015032813.html

A General Criminal Amnesty has been announced in the DPRK, and thousands of people will be freed from North Korea’s notorious prisons.

I’ve never seen this before, but the article says this happens fairly regularily, on important holidays. So, who is being released? And where will they go? Seems like North Korea is short on food, and dumping a bunch of people back on the streets seems like a good way to add to the local communities problems.

“Are you for the nuclear deal with Iran or are you against it?”

America has spent trillions of dollars building a superior military with a global reach.

It is unclear why America needs to make a “deal”.

…especially when that deal is negotiated from a position of weakness on every front…

…without even the balls to say, “And by the way, throw in those American hostages by Thursday or take a look at what a cruise missile can do to a refinery.”

…which is the way all American hostage negotiations should begin with state-sponsored hostage-taking.

Then make it very clear that any shenanigans which even appear to be connected to Iran will be met with a automatic beatdown… ergo, best put word out on Islam Street that everybody needs to tone it down in their America-hating.

Let’s take a look at this deal:

– when the American fact sheet on this deal came out, Iran squealed and said they saw it differently… not exactly the best way to start a “deal”

– there are no enforcement measures in the framework

– the agreement does not stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb… it only delays it (according to Obama’s speech in April 2015)

– this will very much empower Iran to be a bigger player in the Middle East

…and, as history has shown in these fake deals with unwilling participants, America will likely have to initiate some sort of military action on Iran in the next decade anyway…

…which means this “deal” is likely PERFECT.

…as its only purpose is to allow America the moral high-ground when the hypersonic missiles start raining down on hardened targets because Iran violated “the deal”.

PREDICTION: After it all blows over, assuming no TeaBilly starts shooting at troops (which will still not trigger martial law), the TEXAS PATRIOTS will insist that Jade Helm 15 was a government plot and only through their diligence did the government not follow through. Prove otherwise. Whatever you try to use as a counter argument will be declared to be a lie.

Setnaffa, I, too, am an 870 fan.

Nothing wrong with a 500 and I had a Winchester 1300 that I liked the way it shot trap… but the 870 is pretty perfect… even more so with a couple aftermarket mods.

I think the military prefers the 500, and though.

A better question might be why anyone would have a Glock knock-off when a real Glock is just a few dollars more… and is truly a near-perfect weapon.

But the REAL question is why anybody identifiable would post their gun list in a public place just because Tbone dared them too.

Nice to see that the ROK stood firm against the DPRK on at least something.

Now the two sides are negociating a pay raise, rather than letting the North dictate it. From the write up, it looks like the North is a bit peeved that it had to do it South Korea’s way… Good.

Are you deaf? You man Netanyahoo and his GOP followers have been whining for years.

EGGHEAD says or pretends to be quoting someone but without a link so it must be an actual EGGHEAD quote…“And by the way, throw in those American hostages by Thursday or take a look at what a cruise missile can do to a refinery.”

So you just want to bomb Iran but too CHICKEN/EGGHEAD to admit it, just a bunch of Blah. blah, blah…I quit reading your nonsense after those to EGGHEAD comments.

Study(psychology researchers from Duke, Harvard and other universities): Guns ‘Disproportionately Owned’ By Those Prone To Angry, Impulsive Behavior
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/07/study-guns-disproportionately-owned-those
“If you already have an anger management problem, it’s not going to help if you have easy access to guns:
The more guns you own the more likely you are to be subject to angry outbursts that you cannot control.

The study’s findings are drawn from in-depth interviews with 5,563 Americans over the past decade. The key conclusion is that public policymakers’ focus on keeping guns from those with diagnosed mental illness does little to reduce the risks posed by the high level of private gun ownership in the United States.”

Thus far NOMAD(one angry SOAB) is WINNING with 8 guns
But, I do own the following:
Smith & Wesson M&P15 AR-15
Highpoint 9mm carbine

Since EGGHEAD was too afraid to answer my question as was Leon they must have more than NOMAD. 😈

Stats Guru Nate Silver: For Black Americans U.S. Is As Dangerous As Rwanda

The 2nd link below must be just one example of what Nate Silver means.

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/stats-guru-nate-silver-for-black-americans-us-is-about-as-dangerous-as-rwanda/
No doubt you’ve heard of and seen Nate Silver. He’s the genius of statistical data who correctly predicted the last two Presidential elections and was even exactly right when he projected how 49 of the 50 states would vote in 2008. The guy is simply amazing.

Now Silver is speaking out on how much more likely black Americans are to be killed by violent means than whites.”

Sandra Bland: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
http://heavy.com/news/2015/07/sandra-bland-dead-death-killed-waller-county-texas-illinois-woman-dies-jail-police-custody-job-hanging-traffic-stop-assault-police-officer-video-photos-cause-of-death-autopsy-facebook/
The family of an Illinois woman found dead in a Texas jail cell after she was arrested during a traffic stop is raising questions about how she died.

Sandra Bland, 28, was stopped by a Texas state trooper on Friday and found dead at the Waller County, Texas, jail on Monday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Local authorities in Texas say Bland died by suicide, but her family and friends don’t believe that is the case and suspect that the true cause of her death is being covered up.

Bland was being held on $5,000 bail after a Saturday court appearance. Her friends say they planned to post her bail on Monday.

Here’s what you need to know:
1. Bland Was in Texas to Start a New Job at Her Alma Mater
2. She Was Stopped on Friday for Improperly Signaling & Allegedly Assaulted a Police Officer(VIDEO)
The Waller County Sheriff’s Office told the Chicago Tribune that Bland was arrested on Friday and charged with “assault on a public servant.”

Bland was pulled over by deputies in a routine traffic stop for improper signaling of a lane change, ABC 7 reports. During the stop, she allegedly assaulted a police officer.

Video of the arrest was posted onto YouTube. It shows several police officers standing over Bland while she is on the ground, arguing with them about why they’re being so rough. At one point, she can be heard saying, “You just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that?” She also thanks the man recording the incident for filming as she is led to a police cruiser.

Her friend, Malcolm Jackson, told ABC 7, “After he (an officer) pulled her out of the car, forced her and tossed her to the ground, knee to the neck, and arrested her.”

Police told the news station that Bland was “combative on the side of the road.”

3. Her Death Has Been Ruled Suicide by Hanging, but Her Friends Say She Wouldn’t Have Killed Herself
The Waller County Sheriff’s Office says that Bland was found in her cell Monday morning, three days after her arrest. She was “not breathing from what appears to be self-inflicted asphyxiation,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
“The Waller County Jail is trying to rule her death a suicide and Sandy would not have taken her own life,” a friend, LaNitra Dean, told ABC 7. “Sandy was strong. Strong mentally and spiritually.”

They said she had just landed her dream job.

“I do suspect foul play,” another friend, Cheryl Nanton, told the news station. “I believe that we are all 100 percent in belief that she did not do harm to herself.”

Her sorority sister, Alana Taylor, told Watch The Yard:

“I understand there’s some disbelief among some friends and family that she would do this to herself,” District Attorney Elton Mathis told the Chicago Tribune. “That’s why it’s very important that the Texas Rangers be allowed to conduct a thorough investigation.”

4. The Waller County Sheriff Was Fired From a Previous Job Over Racism Allegations
Daily Kos columnist Shaun King has also reported that there have been other suicides recently at the county jail.

5. Bland Often Spoke Out Against Police Brutality & Racial Injustice

Texas Violating Constitution By Refusing Birth Certificates To Children Of Immigrants
http://www.alan.com/2015/07/17/texas-violating-constitution-by-refusing-birth-certificates-to-children-of-immigrants/
“Ah, Texas. Perhaps the only state in the country that, from time to time, contemplates leaving the union and becoming an independent nation, even though that isn’t even allowed under the U.S. Constitution. As I recall, it’s kinda what helped start the Civil War.

But Texas right-wingers love to pay lip service to what is and what isn’t Constitutional; yet, at the same time, they decide to openly flaunt their own responsibilities under the same document they claim to hold so dear.

A perfect example of this is currently taking place in the Lone Star State. The Texas Department of State Health Services is refusing to issue birth certificates to babies born of immigrants or of people who don’t have sufficient IDs. This is in direct violation of the 14th Amendment, which states:…”

NYPD cops giving false statements about misbehavior is increasing: CCRB/Civilian Complaint Review Board
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/nypd-cops-making-false-misconduct-statements-increase-ccrb-article-1.2222662
” The NYPD watchdog group determined that 26 cops made false statements either to the CCRB or in their paperwork last year — double the amount of officers found fudging reports the year before — according to their 2014 report.

Many of the bogus statements were debunked by video evidence collected at the scene of the incident, according to CCRB chair Richard Emery, who was not surprised by the uptick of cops caught in lies.

“It is the inevitable result of videotaping more street encounters,” Emery said. “It’s interesting that there is not more. Videotape is hard to dispute when it’s clear.”

The statements were also contradicted by other officers at the scene or by independent eyewitnesses, the CCRB noted.”

Setnaffa,

I like the Mossberg 500 Flex; it’s very versatile. For example, I can change the pistol grip to a tactical stock in about 5 seconds. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/chris-dumm/gun-review-mossberg-500-flex-shotgun/

Chickenhead,

One can go to almost any gun forum and read the back and forth between the Glock owners and the rest…it’s almost like the Apple crowd vs the Android folks. What I did was go to the range, rent several guns so I could hold them, examine, and shoot them. I’m more worried about ergonomics and my ability to hit the target vs. what brand I’m carrying. The Sig .380 was my failed attempt to get my wife interested in guns and I’ll probably sell it soon…she’s finally gotten used to me carrying wherever we go so I’ll take that for what it’s worth.
I take it you haven’t been back here for a while? EVERYONE has guns. I work with people who build their own AR-15’s and whose collections make me look like a neophyte. And it’s not for the coming zombie apocalypse T-Boner is worried about…lots of folks here are somewhat uneasy about the direction this country is going, and the rise in violent crime by minorities.

T-Boner,

I’m one of the least angriest people you’d ever meet. Not that we ever will, thank goodness 🙂

“What I did was go to the range, rent several guns so I could hold them, examine, and shoot them.”

…and that, more than brand or fashion, is the correct way to choose a gun… and why I chose the Glock back in the day.

I agree that different guns (like pretty much everything else in life) are suitable for different people… not trying to come off as a pushy and judgmental Glock fanboy.

…but for me, the Glock is the only choice.

…reliable, indestructible, reparable with drop-in parts, perfect fit to my hand, intuitively pointable, etc.

I might add, the Zombie Apocalypse is REAL!

Imagine if the welfare checks get cut off. Hordes of dangerous, violent beings with thinking and values very different than yours moving out from urban areas to the suburbs seeking to cause harm for reasons that might not make sense to you.

When it gets down to it, what is the difference between a Ferguson mob and a zombie horde?

Zombies don’t do much looting.”

Also, zombies have no hope for every obtaining air superiority.
A Ferguson mob might, at least in theory. “Those aren’t birds, they’re drones!!!”

Also depends on the type of zombies. Are they voodoo zombies? Necromancer zombies? Disease zombies? Fast or slow? Superstrength or not? Night only or 24 hour? How fast do they decay? Is water a barrier? “werewolf” zombies (i.e. their bite spreads “zombieness”) or will you only rise as a zombie if you’re killed?

“Also depends on the type of zombies.”

“Are they voodoo zombies?”

Yes… raised to trouble the productively-living through the pseudo-religious incantations of “Reverend” Al Sharpton and his ilk.

“Necromancer zombies?”

Absolutely… they are whipped into a frenzy by the mainstream media to use as a tool… hoping to resurrect dying ratings and attention.

“Disease zombies?”

Without question… as they bring a wasting away of peaceful living, economic activity, safety, cleanliness, and general quality of life wherever they go.

“Fast or slow?”

Both… slow to approach work boots or school books… but quick to take an unattended purse or snatch cigars from a store shelf.

“Superstrength or not?”

Depending… on how much PCP they have ingested or how many cops have them in a choke hold.

“Night only or 24 hour?”

Primarily night… but can attack any time if there is opportunity.

“How fast do they decay?”

Very quickly… under the age of 25… mostly though zombie-on-zombie attacks. They decay more slowly after that.

“Is water a barrier?”

In many cases, yes… as they do not swim well.

” “werewolf” zombies (i.e. their bite spreads “zombieness”)”

Their bite will likely provoke a violent, almost-zombie-like response from the victim… only tempered by the availability of a handgun and the contemplation of being in the national spotlight for killing a Gentle Giant Zombie.

“or will you only rise as a zombie if you’re killed?”

No… you will be dead… and, if you are not a zombie, the media MIGHT mention your death… but will talk around the fact that you died from a zombie attack.
