Wasn't that book written as an attempt to get people to convert to vegetarianism but instead it resulted in the creation of the FDA because people demanded cleaner meat instead?

Holy shit, I never knew about that one.

Funny how much of a life of his own he gained after the original artist "retired" him because he had been "co-opted as an alt-right symbol".

Also get a shoulder holster that holds on one each side so you can be well balanced while taking them both for a walk.

The closest store to me is a WalMart yet I always go out of my way to everywhere else instead.

That sounds like ethical trading! Almost impossible to maintain I'm guessing.

Yeah with all the funds I'm in I have no idea what I own fractions of, that's the trade off of being really diversified.

Interesting that he's suddenly flipping around, maybe there was a backroom deal to lessen his punishment if he starts playing ball with the investigation.

They'll be going to jail anyway.

And yes pepper spray and stun guns are legal to possess in DC, the only issue is not being able to take a stun gun into a federal building.

It's really a feeble attempt at "shut up" money.

I really like Ian's videos. Too bad he's a bit of a never Trumper.

Never knew that about him but probably since he never talks about it in his videos, I respect him for staying on topic.

$600 won't even buy you 1000 rounds of 9mm right now, to think that back last December I was buying 1000 round boxes for $170 each.

I am lucky to still have my job but thanks to the lockdown bullshit: all concerts have been canceled, our big vacation to the Bahamas that was planned for years scuppered, no raise this year, 401k match suspended, 5% pay cut, the new job I was interviewing for earlier this year evaporated, any work on the house that's not become an emergency repair has been canceled, and our wedding has been postponed as we couldn't even look at venues and who knows how many guests would even show up anymore with this nonsense. With all that and this election fraud and the BLM riots this whole year has been stolen from our lives.

I need to ask that friend who didn't sell in time on the last Bitcoin wave if he held onto it and is actually making money this time.

I mean, people bitch about me not wanting to keep a round chambered in my EDC with only a grip safety because racking the slide takes too long...

I've had that discussion several times with people like my dad who likes to show me how fast he can rack the slide. I just respond that I keep one in the chamber as there are plenty of scenarios where you'll have to draw and your other hand might be already occupied or even out of commission. You're not going to have a negligent discharge with a grip safety as long as you have good trigger discipline and a decent holster.

Adam Carolla said in an interview this year when asked about "secret conservatives" in Hollywood and just said "it's not a given but look at who is NOT spewing their views all over Twitter."

Given how inefficient the left is they need that $10 billion to do what we get done with $1 billion. So much of that money is just getting laundered away.

Then recall that person, just keep the recall train going if that's what it takes.

Watch the documentary "Uncle Tom", it has a section on Obama and how jubilant black people were when he was elected only for many who became disillusioned when he broke all his promises and didn't actually do anything for them. It then goes on to cover Trump and what he actually did do for black people and why MAGA continues to grow in the black community.

Oh yes, I know multiple people who admitted that they didn't want to be saying down the line that they voted against the first black US president. I told them all that they were racists if they really were voting for him just because he's black.

True, there's a reason why you see young people flock into cities and then when they want to start a family suddenly most of them are fleeing for the suburbs or rural areas.

My relatives who are Democrat are hella racist while those in my family who aren't Democrat never have displayed any kind of racist/bigoted/etc. behavior. Democrats are projection artists.

This is true, the most racist and bigoted people I've personally known have always been card-carrying democrats. Yeah some republicans are racist but as it's been said (I can't remember the exact quote) the difference is that those are openly honest about it while democrats pretend to be your friend while indulging in their white savior complex.

I find it so hilarious that a man that the media claims to be so despised is yet also the most admired.

I think part of the problem is over many years conservatives almost kind of bred an ideology of passivity, by shaming the idea of acting first or being pro-active, simply reactive. We always shamed causing too much of a scandal, always catered to "optics", and some weird kind of "moral superiority". That "oh, w-we don't promote violence man. Leave that to leftists...y-you don't really mean that, right?". Or "H-hey bro, come on...we're no better than the left if we do that or say that kind of stuff, man..." All that stuff is naive at best, self-limiting and crippling at its worst.

This, I was talking to my dad and a trusted friend about it and how our failing is that we don't go on the offensive and are constantly reactive. Since politics tends to follow culture the question I keep raising is "how do we take back the culture?"

We also put too much into politicians who really are just slowly surrendering rather than compromising like they claim to, as the friend put it "a compromise would have been something like 'okay we'll consider your background checks in exchange for the abolishing the NFA' when in reality the GOP is like 'look you can burn down the kitchen, just not the entire house m'kay'".

Reportedly some Proud Boys will even be dressed as Antifa to mingle into their crowds and sabotage them from within their own lines.
