Obviously.

Since my 70th birthday I've resolved to smoke 2 packs of unfiltered Camels and drink a fifth of good whisky daily.

Our South African Firearms trainers in Mogadishu had only a fine contempt for rifles, pistols, and shotguns with too much "...Gucci."

The suspect is not nondescript "PARKER'S BACKGROUND Looking deeper into Michael Parker's past, 3News obtained a civil complaint filed against him in Lorain County Common Pleas Court for an incident that occurred in October of 2022. The complaint alleged Parker negligently operated a vehicle...

Not with other pistols.

'The Grand Inquisitor' sub-book in the Brothers Karamazov could have been written yesterday. https://dev.gutenberg.org/files/8578/8578-h/8578-h.htm

We fortunate New Mexicans still have bubonic plague in the north - thanks a lot, conquistadores!

All of my kin of WWII service age were sent to the Pacific - German surnames.

My sole gold piece is a worn St. Gaudens $20 gold piece my maternal grandmother's father had - I thought it was late '20s, but I'm now doubting it. Next time I open the bank box I'll take a look. It will be my granddaughter's coin in a few years.

You're $13 trillion short. The debt was $5,807,463,412,200.06 9/30/01 and $28,428,918,570,048.68 9/30/21. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/historical-debt-outstanding/historical-debt-outstanding Until spending is tightly controlled, neither raising nor lowering taxes will reduce debt. Ever.

That's a shame.

And neither will lowering taxes - the results are crystal clear, less than a trillion in '80 to 37 trillion in debt now. The Gingrich 'pay-go' plan could have worked (it was working, in fact) if Congress had kept it.
