I've read that if you dig into her early years, she had some beliefs about race that were, shall we say, the norm of her time. These may have impacted her decision to not step down under Obama.

This was years ago, could've been entirely made up by others, and even if true has likely be scrubbed well enough from google and the like that it would be hard to verify. So take it with two liberals' tears worth of salt.

Shotguns are also great for home defense, especially in places where warning shots are illegal. The sound a pump makes is about the second best thing to a warning shot and doesn't cause property damage or legal issues. You can have bird shot loaded first because it also does less damage to property and is less of a threat to anyone innocent bystanders or your own family. My father loads his self defense pistols with a few rounds of snakeshot followed by bullets designed to stop a person (fully legal to own where he lives, might not be legal in your state). Part of the reason is that we do have a few poisonous snakes we have to kill every year and so having an easily accessible weapon (for adults who know where it is it, not reachable by kids) ready to skill snakes means less risk of the snake biting us or one of our animals.

Speaking of family, be sure to start thinking about where your rooms are located and where family might be, especially during a night break in. What areas could you shoot from and not put them at risk. For example if you have a two story house and all the bedrooms are on the second floor, then shooting down the stairs at any intruders on the bottom floor has far less chance of harming your family than if one of your kids sleeps on the first floor. You want to have all of this well thought out before you need it (hopefully and prayerfully never).

When your sandwich shop's selling point is fast delivery, that should tell you something about the sandwiches. Now Firehouse Subs. They got some good food and they help support firemen and first responders.

NPCs over on reddit are trying to claim it is a bunch of white supremacists causing the violence. Look at all those violent white supremacists. NPC narratives are falling apart faster than those blue cities.

In terms of fatherlessness and destruction of the family, I think there is a real case of Satan distracting Christians with gay marriage while families fall apart. People forget that Satan isn't just some Disney style villain. He is the master of deceit and treachery and with the way the church has reacted to the crisis in American families these last few decades it looks like his plans are going quite well.

Jesus tells us to worry about the plank in our own eye before we help others and so many churches are suffering far more of a fatherlessness problem (an adultery, so much adultery that is silently tolerated) than a gay marriage problem.

I've seen Ring Fit Adventure and have been thinking about getting it. Last time I checked I could only find resellers and the markup was way too high. I should probably check again.

Far too few people realize the effects of fatherlessness.

  • 400% risk of poverty.
  • 700% risk of teen pregnancy.
  • 200% risk of infant mortality.
  • 200% risk of obesity.
  • 200% risk of dropping out of high school.
  • and many more...

Especially important is the second item. 700% increased risk of teen pregnancy means which often leads to even more fatherless homes, creating issues generation after generation. We need to bring back the social pressures that kept families together for the sake of our future generations.

Exercising at home just isn't cutting it for me. Can't wait for my local gym to open back up. I do sit ups, jumping jacks, even have some dumbbells, but mentally I can't get into it like I can when I'm at a dedicated gym.
