    This will never happen but if there was a requirement to vote revolving around being a productive citizen...... Have a W-2 or pay self employment tax... Pay property tax. Even paying your own rent! Or maybe have a clause that if you recieve welfare payments, your right to vote is rescinded...

    Well, um, yes.... not that I'd have much say at that point but what you are really asking is would my wife... So yes @Just Gina could simply take it out of our kids' eventual inheritance. Or she could decide to have me cremated over there and throw the urn in her backpack;) A quick easy...

    Early stages of potential 1st safari

    A little tip on potential cost savings. My Minnesota Taxidermist used a tannery in Houston that he trusts. We ship directly to the tannery in Houston than after Tanning they ship to Minnesota. Rather than to Minnesota, Houston, and back to Minnesota. So ask all those types of questions;)

    There will be shipping from the dip and pack to the airport. Likely your taxidermist doing the dip and pack, or Trophy Shippers will line that up but you will get a bill. Then your air Frieght, clearing and shipping from US Airport to your taxidermist or tannery. Ask Trophy Shippers how much...

    On the Domestic front you forgot using the banks you identify Conservatives by keying in on words like Cabela's, Bas Pro, and Dick's. As well as MAGA, etc. Internationally you forgot the hand wringing approach to the Houthi's. I'm sure there are more but you summed up the brunt of it very...

    I'm no expert on this but as @shootist~ is pointing out. That election was contested in the State of Florida. Thankfully, and not to the liking of Democrats, States still run their own elections. What @Brent in Az is suggesting is that Pence had the ability to stop or at least delay the...

    That would have been great if it worked that way. Unfortunately you and Trump are just simply wrong about that. I'm sorry but facts are facts and you and Trump don't have yours straight.

    That must be nice. Producing commodities we don't have the luxury of directly passing on increased costs.

    You guys are correct but in addition one has to remember that everything is connected and every decision and action has a reaction and ultimately results in changes. Trump is responsible for a bit of inflation and especially tight supplies of some things because of his Tarriffs. Then just as...

    If you are talking about January 6th, I don't believe Pence had any legal options. I honestly can understand Trump's misunderstanding the Constitution and Constructional processes. But damn he had to have gotten some terrible legal advice! Where did Rudy get his law degree? In a box of...

    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    I've had a discussion with @Inline6 about long range shooting. He has more knowledge in his pinky finger regarding ballistics and long range shooting than I have in my whole body. And he practices a lot. One could argue that in parts of Texas there really is no such thing as stalking game...

    Bryan when you get a minute would you add in the comparable ballistics for the 6.5 Creedmoor? Maybe even the 6.5 PRC? What i remember when I bought my first Manbun rifle, simply going off a Hornady ballistic chart for their factory ammo, the Creedmoor was carrying well over double the energy...

    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    Ok so this gives me mixed impressions about the 6.5 Creedmoor. On one hand, its a pretty big deal that the Barbie franchise has come out with a Creedmoor version of their Ken doll. Yet on the other hand he is on clearance and yet the shelf was still full.... And to make matters even more dismal...

    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    Yea but they are comparing it to their former "big" cartridge... the 223 Remington. The 6.5 Creedmoor seems to be here to stay. What Gina and I love about it probably has as much to do with the equipment we have as the cartridge but it really does fit a niche for us. The rifle is stainless...
