    Actually, I would describe that as classic “gaslighting.” There is an enormous difference between advocating with both parties and their leadership for the means to defend his country and refusing to involve himself and his nation in a dispute between an American President and his primary...

    By historical standards and the overwhelming evidence of the last 2 1/2 years, I would argue Zelensky is far and away the single most obvious Churchillian figure of the last three quarters of century. He also had the good sense to refuse to involve himself in US domestic politics.

    Let’s see, he navigated three aid packages through the House that have broad bipartisan support in the face of the anti-Israeli far left, the economic opportunists and appeasers of Xi on either side of the aisle, and in the face of the Trump political opportunists, Putin appeasers, and those who...

    In an effort to show how the same information can appear differently, my interpretation is somewhat less noble than some others here with respect to the foreign aid bills. Some representatives may really have voted their conscience. I would urge them to study economics and international...

    What problems have you encountered with your Blaser R8?

    Love mine as well - all three barrel sets. Sub-MOA from all six barrels and nothing larger than 2.5 inch groups at 100 yards - not 50. I can shoot to the max PB range of all three chamberings. It is a brilliant design hated by the double crowd because it wasn’t traditional.

    A Rigby morning stalk

    I don't always drink gin, but when I do, I am more of a Baccarat fan myself. :cool: That said, I am going to start checking out area thrift stores. The blue light special has slipped into extinction in these parts, but its products may still remain.

    What problems have you encountered with your Blaser R8?

    Never an issue in any caliber, in any terrain, in any weather, in any country or state.

    What TV hunting personality?

    Tony Makris has been a friend for twenty years and we have competed together in the pigeon ring enough to probably qualify for counseling. We have had a grand time shooting driven pheasants and busting coveys, That said, when it comes to big game hunting and particularly Africa, I am strictly...

    ARGENTINA: Argentina Adventure With MG Hunting

    Greater Rhea not ostrich, but still a darn big flightless bird. That is one heck of a bull. I will be down there looking for his twin in a little less than two years.

    Man Cave Decor

    Should you be interested in paintings rather than the specific sketches of bell or perhaps Ruark, I have always felt that John Seery-Lester was our finest contemporary wildlife and "adventure" artist. Regrettably, he passed away four years ago. The originals are eye wateringly expensive, but...

    Meanwhile back at the front, the TU-22 Backfire bomber (which is a remarkably obvious copy of our B1) is a supersonic strategic asset that has been a real problem for Ukraine. They are capable of carrying a couple of cruise missiles and have been used extensively in strikes against Ukrainian...

    Exactly. It is an inexplicably stupid strategy, and their supporters are blindly cheering them. After all, it will show the RINOs, Deep State, and the Socialists because they proudly achieved nothing at all? :rolleyes: Now MTG can pull the trigger to vacate, and the whole conference can...

    I am not sure we yet know the full means of the attack. Were that the only one, I frankly think it would signal weakness far more than strength - particularly with respect to retaliatory capabilities.

    https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/04/18/congress/mike-johnson-ukraine-aid-israel-00153275 What a novel realization. When a party has a single house and only holds it by a razor thin majority, the only way it can accomplish anything is through compromise with the other party. We have...
