Do not adjust your set.
Now, if this were Houston, I could see where it could be an issue. This is the greater Chicago metro area.
In Winter.
And yet they are acting as badly as the folks in Atlanta did last year. I mean, inches of snow….not feet. Pretty much zero wind. Slippery roads, but that is part of Winter.
Jesus. What wimps they are making us into. Or maybe what wimps this next generation of Millennials is….I dunno.
It goes to show, again, how ineffective out Republican leadership is, at least in Congress.
In my opinion, they should have stood fast and made a decent budget. Let the shutdown happen if that is what it takes.
I’m not so sure Trump should have signed this bill.
And, Republicans…..And Donnie: WHERE IS THE FUNDING FOR THE BORDER WALL?
C’mon boys! Where is the wall y’all promised?
Yer letting thousands in every day. Maybe tens of thousands.
I’d go for minefields as a temporary measure…..
“Not a problem,” I said, “tell me when you are available. I belong to a range, so we can go anytime but Tuesday or Thursday.” (competition nights)
He took me up on my offer, and brought one of the other guys who work at the school who has a few firearms, and we did a range night with pistols.
Safety briefing, rules, and then to the shooting.
Strung targets at 21 feet and then we were off.
Started off with a 1911-22 and a Buckmark, then to a Sig 250 in 9mm, then a couple of 1911’s. He liked the .22’s, not so much the Sig 250, and really liked the 1911 in ,45 ACP.
Yeah, that smile.You know the one I am talking about, if you’ve ever taken a newbie to a range.
He’s still talking about it. Wants to know when we can go again.
Anti-Gunners can’t compete with that….
Men are being more careful….they don’t trust women anymore in a professional setting. Can you blame them?
A new set of findings from women’s empowerment non-profit LeanIn.Org and online survey platform SurveyMonkey reveal that, since the media reports of sexual harassment first emerged last fall, male managers are three times as likely to say they are uncomfortable mentoring women and twice as uncomfortable working alone with a woman. The hesitation to meet with women outside of work is even more pronounced: Senior men were 3.5 times more likely to hesitate having a work dinner with a junior female colleague than a male one–and five times more likely to hesitate to travel for work with a junior woman.
In a Facebook post Tuesday morning, LeanIn.Org founder Sheryl Sandberg explained that men’s increasing unwillingness to mentor their female colleagues “undoubtedly will decrease the opportunities women have at work.” The Facebook COO pointed out that, “The last thing women need right now is even more isolation. Men vastly outnumber women as managers and senior leaders, so when they avoid, ice out, or exclude women, we pay the price.”
Ladies: you did this to yourselves….and your sisters, and daughters. In your attempt to get real predators off the street and out of the workplace, you’ve led to this…
Don’t whine about it 10 years from now, that there are fewer executives that are female. You are the ones that set the rules….that told us we couldn’t ever make a joke, or compliment you, or notice you even when you dressed to show off…..You are the ones that made it all about sex…..You were the ones who couldn’t handle a male advance, or deal with some guy’s clumsy offer of a date….You are the ones that told us that all women are snowflakes, unable to protect themselves in a male workplace, who shouldn’t be let out without a male keeper…too fragile to deal with those mean men….Unable to say “No”…You are the ones that made us realize that anything we say in a professional workplace would be written down and, when you felt like it, used against us some time, even tens of years, later….You are the ones that think that there is one standard of behavior for men, and a different one for women. Yes, I know, you tell us that it was some other women, not you… but you didn’t speak up and silence them, did you? Y’all went along with them in the spirit of Sisterhood, and now you have the result.
You forget that there are rules in society for Men….and other rules for Women, and those rules protected both of us. But you and your predecessors changed the rules a few years ago for ‘Equality”, and now you don’t like it….I hope the result…that you and your MeeToo movement that let each of you feel included has, in it’s hysteria, set American professional women back about 30 years….. was worth it. I think you aren’t gonna like how this ends. Nor, I think, do most working professional women who bother to think about it. But I think it is too late to fix it.
You cannot get that Genie back in the bottle ladies.
Now what?
I’d say, no deal unless we get the funding for the Border Wall.
Rather see a “shutdown” (not that there is ever, really, a shutdown) despite the fact that it is an inconvenience for a lot of folks that Do Not deserve it.
Wall. Gulf to Pacific. Either there is funding for that, or No Deal. Stand firm, Mr. President. Make it happen. You have more support than you might think.
Fuck the Dems. Stand firm.
Philly Hit and Run may be Terrorism related.
Yes, I know Religion of Peace. But westerners, Protestants, Hindus, Bhuddists, and Catholics don’t seem to do this sort of thing. Odd how that works, innit?
Of course, a lot of Republicans don’t want the wall, either. The folks who own them contribute to their campaigns need the cheap labor.

At the top of the article, you get this:
The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
—FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.
—It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.
Except that if you read farther into the article, you come to this line:
The extent to which the FBI has evidence of money flowing from Torshin to the NRA, or of the NRA’s participation in the transfer of funds, could not be learned.
No one has any evidence that this is true, nor do they have any evidence pointing to anything except that the NRA spent a record amount of money trying to keep Hillary Clinton out of the white house……and the members wished, to protect their rights to Keep and Bear our arms.
This has about as much substance as the “Russian Influence” on our latest Presidential election. None. But Mueller is still doing his job, investigating all the lies put forth by the DNC.
The DNC folks keep trying to use innuendo and “Russians” to harm their opponents.
We gun owners ARE their opponents. The NRA is their opponent.
