The state legislature did make some changes to the state election laws this year, but the state Supreme Court (dem controlled) decided to make changes of their own.
The state Supreme Court ruled that signatures not matching were not grounds to contest ballots, and they changed acceptance dates for mail in ballots
Germ theory was reinvented this year and now we all understand that there is a COVID miasma that looks to infect non-mask wearers wherever they may be. You're not even safe when you're hiking alone in the woods!
Rioting is the language of those who can't articulate or even understand their own lot in life. Acting out in violence to draw attention to your perceived plight is what a toddler or animal does.
There aren't too many in PA, so even if you're far from a city there may be unsavory crowds because the range is "free". Its not really free because you need a permit, but a lot of people don't bother to get permitted.
There are ample private ranges. Indoor ones are always too expensive and sorta lame, but at least your chance of being shot are lower.
From my personal observation certain demographics don't go to the range to "train" or get better in any way. Their rational for going to the range is to make "cool videos" to post to social media. They often bring one box of ammo, no targets, and no hearing protection. Its just a couple guys taking turns shooting while the others take pictures/video.
Likely a PA State Gamelands public range. I always say "If you want to get shot go to the public range". You now need either a hunting license or a yearly range permit to use the ranges, but I always see the usual suspects shooting sideways with obviously no license or permit.
We know who these degenerates are, where they live, and they post ample evidence online... yet there is no effort to actively combat it. We just wait till the next victim, and then there is maybe a 50% chance an arrest is made. The media then covers it up, and tells you that "The Proud Boys" are terrorizing urban communities. Absolutely insane.
Even when the PA GOP "has the votes" the Dems that initially voted in favor of a bill will switch their vote just to appease the Governor and enable the veto to succeed.
The Governor will be handed a bill, veto it, and then enact the language of the bill via executive order so that he can take all the credit. He's done that on a few occasions, most notably when he initially banned new construction because of COVID, a bill passed the legislature to re-allow construction, he vetoes it, and a few days later he puts out an order re-allowing construction in PA. Gov. Wolf is a tyrant.
There is so much happening in PA that it is difficult to pivot and condense all of the PA-GOP's focus on each issue. Governor Wolf has been attempting to force the State to participate in a "cap-and-trade" carbon taxing scheme (RGGI) that would destroy the oil, gas, and coal industry. His lockdown COVID orders are insane, but reliant on at least 2 pieces of legislation that have proven difficult to combat through legislative or judicial means. He vetoes literally everything, and democrats ALWAYS support his vetoes so overrides have proven impossible. It was thought that our election laws were safe because the law itself is pretty straightforward, but liberal judges have said that because PA laws don't explicitly disallow ballot collection boxes and extended timelines then they are totally kosher.
Honestly there is just a lot to fight all at once on multiple fronts. 12 months ago the legislature could have never imagined this much lawlessness and "reinterpretation" of century old tradition and practice. With each passing day it is looking like traditional legislative means to achieve democratic goals are becoming more and more worthless.
I think a major factor in the "tough on crime" debate is whether or not we should encourage policy and laws that are tough on non-violent crimes (drugs and prostitution are often noted in these sorts of crimes).
I want all violent criminals - rapists, armed robbers, murderers, etc - to be removed from society either for a very long time or forever. But I don't see why the hammer needs to come down on a guy selling a dime bag or a degenerate woman selling herself. With that being said there are an absurd number of criminals walking free on our streets that should either be locked up or put down. I draw the line once real or implied violence is involved in the crime + there is a hapless victim.
We know where the "criminal neighborhoods" are. We know who many of these felons are. We know where not to walk at night... or even in the day. Why don't we have a means to clean up these blighted areas?
One of the few times I'll openly agree with Joe. Our great American cities are in shambles, are dirty, and dangerous. If we physically start taking care of the "predators on the street" the habitat will be dramatically improved.
Ron Paul was treated incredibly unfairly during his last run for the Republican nominee for president. He had tremendous support, but the party and media just pretended to deny he or his base existed. I wish Ron was an integral part of the Trump team, but I think he has begun to slowly walk out of the limelight. I am not as big a fan of Rand, I mean I like him... but Ron is the better of the Pauls. Hopefully Rand attempts to emulate more of the positions of his father as time goes on.
SALT OF THE EARTH!!!
Dr. Levine goes outside every morning, and if he sees the shadow of his penis Pennsylvania must endure 6 more weeks of Corona Shutdowns.
Richard Levine was once a CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST. He had a wife and 2 kids, and then just decided to say "fuck it" one day and "live as a woman". The dude is beyond sick. 1st, to live such a degenerate life. And 2nd, to choose to live that life after being married for years and fathering 2 children. I think he considers himself a "lesbian" because he's still attracted to women. What a freak!
The fact that this absurdity alone is not enough for people to be extremely skeptical of any orders "she" encourages is infuriating. How can any self respecting man look to this creature for health advice!?
The "french" producer of Cuties holds dual citizenship with another country... care to guess which other country?
A similar pattern can be seen with African "stars" (sports, Hollywood, politics). A black "star" seems to often choose to marry/date non-black women... hmmmmmmmm
Has this been confirmed? I've seen evidence of the Clinton in heels picture, and the same artist made this painting I believe, but I'm unsure if they were for sure in Epstein's home. I mean, I believe it, I just want to be sure.
Wendy's is BASED. I've always been a wendy's fan. They strongly support adoption, as their founder was adopted. If Wendy's ever gets into this nonsense I'll leave them forever, but till then I'm pro wendy's. Red heads are hot, and Dave's singles are fantastic.

Ewwwww.... i don't like that Jared Kushner is in the picture. Dude's a snake. Other than that Trump's a saint. Not every dad can have absolute say over their daughter's choices.
What always gets me is the sheer animalistic brutality of their "fighting style". There is no honor, no stopping when the "opponent" is downed or unwilling to fight. Just pure unrefined aggression and obscene violence.
I personally believe there are biological factors at play that influence this, along with the obvious cultural factors. There is absolutely a "pack-like" mentality when they are in numbers.
This issue was not resolved in my grandfather's lifetime, my father's lifetime, and I'd bet with absolute assurance that it will not be fixed in my lifetime without extreme measures.
I agree that regular people wouldn't be able to tell if an explosion came from above or below. But, these women had heard explosions from the same mine the plane crashed into, and other mines in the area, for their entire lives. Underground explosions with so much strength that the walls of the antique shop would shake. I believe they would often get some sort of warning when explosives were to be used underground, but I'm not positive of that. With that being said I am inclined to believe them because they had experienced underground explosions for generations.
Just to clarify, they claimed to have heard an initial above ground explosion, followed by a second smaller explosion. The 2nd was likely large plane parts hitting the grounds of the strip mine.
Here is a link to the sign stating that "arabic notes detailing the attack plan were found at the site".

Scroll down to the plaque titled "The Investigation", and the bit I am referencing is in the 2nd paragraph of the "clues from Flight 93" section.
The soap box was not in the original quote, and to be honest the original quote is likely not even from Frederick Douglass (he did say this though), but I feel the "soap box" is a necessary inclusion
