The place where the most kids are molested is church. I think it's at home. yeah, I've heard a number of times that it's mostly done by family or close friends of family, the people who parents trust most. I wouldn't be surprised if Church is #2 because that's where lots of families go to make friends and expand their social circle, thinking it's safe. Pedos undoubtely seek out those "safe" environments where, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, people let their guard down. Similarly, 9 out of 10 mass shooters seek out gun free zones to commit their atrocities, knowing most people let their guard down by thinking they'll be protected by security guards. The brainwashed sheeple actually believe it's always & forever a gun free zone and not even mass shooters can break the law just due to the legal designation. smh

Putin co-piloting new Russian nuclear bomber.
Certainly, this is more propaganda to frighten the west. Is all propaganda actually false though? Not sure that that's a safe assumption, considering the stakes of global nuclear holocaust and possiblity of civilizational collapse. I've never bought into the idea that nuclear wars can be won and probably never will.

Like Skynet in the Terminator movie franchise, our current AI models aren't afraid of choosing the nuclear option.

The Biden people (not necessarily Biden himself, since he's checked out mentally) probably realized that trying to force US mfg's to switch to EV overnight would put them in a vulnerable position with Chinese competitors, who are much more agile when it comes to manufacturing. Remember, the Chinese have Maglev trains running across their country, knowledge they learned from working with Germany. The US is way behind the times in that we don't know how to build Maglev. They're already better and lower cost at building anything electric power-related than we are. Ultimately tho, EV's will be the future because electric motors have fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines and, therefore, have the potential of being more efficient. The only reason they're not currently more efficient is that gas/petrol stores more energy per unit mass than current battery tech can. It's really a matter of when battery tech improves to the point of being able to store more energy vs gas. Electric motors themselves are a fairly simple design and probably not much left to do to improve them, other than finding better materials (that can generate stronger magnetic fields with less current).

I think Elon Musk is the only person seriously talking about building high-speed rail in the US. What a psycho, thinking of replacing highly polluting forms of travel, highways and airlines, with high-speed electric rail? amiright?

I think most billionaires, including Buffet and Gates, know this economy is heading for a train wreck. But they're probably giddy about it because, for them, it'll be another opportunity to buy up shares and assets extra cheap. Same pattern follows every downturn. The richest buy up everything, reduce competition, and further consolidate wealth at the top.

He could be right, do you remember Stileproject from back in late 90s/early 2000s? I used to read their forum, there was a change in the way the government counts inflation. I think it was the genesis of "quantitative easing", at the same time some high up government money-man killed himself in his Manhattan apartment. People were freaking out on that forum talking about how this was the beginning of the end of the post-WW2 world order and especially the dollar. That was over 15 years ago.

The Chinese took a similar approach towards crime centuries ago. During the Opioid crisis in their country (China) in the 1800's, they literally fought two wars (against the British and French) to try to put a stop to the drug trade & crisis. www.britannica.com/topic/Opium-WarsThey didn't win because western Europe dominated the world militarily during that period in history. China's rulers ultimately ended their country's Opioid crisis by turning their guns against their own people who traded and sold the drugs. To this day, dealing drugs in China gets you the death penalty. www.bing.com/search?q=what%27s+the+penalty+in+China+for+selling+illegal+drugs%3FBased on their history, it's no wonder China is so hell bent on shipping tons of Fentanyl to the US, who they view as an extension of the British empire. In their minds, it's revenge time.

I asked Microsoft Copilot (AI) its opinion of Jim Rickards, to see if he's a far-right nutjob. Copilot either can't do political opinions (yet) or Rickards is so respected in government that they leave him be (despite his own political opinions being staunchly negative about Biden).
There's a theme/conspiracy (in movies, pop culture, etc) that if you have friends in high places in the "deep state" (i.e. U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. intelligence community, The Pentagon) that even politicians could fear you. I'm not saying I subscribe to the theory. But on the surface, this guy sounds like he fits the profile.

After Jan 6th they were prolly looking for people who stormed the building. At least that one 51 year old stock broker had the decency to shoot himself after realizing what he did. Trump probably doesn't even remember his name.

Those people were stupid for entering the Capitol building in the first place. However, if police escorted them in and then arrested them, that is entrapment (i.e. dirty cops).

I agree with arresting and prosecuting people if they're assaulting police.
But police escorting them in, while the person being escorted remains calm & peaceful, then to be arrested. That's a ludicrous violation of peoples' rights. Entrapment is illegal, btw.

So much peace, do I need to show the video of the woman who got shot? How about all the right wingers on twitter bragging about renting buses for these people then deleting those tweets after? Also are the people in jail patriots or antifa plants? That changes on who you are talking too.

So if someone actually wants power to the people and not political parties or the political machines then Ranked Choice Voting is the way to do it. Sadly because they lost a single election in Alaska they are already looking to throw the baby out with the bath water and get rid of it: www.alaskasnewssource.com/2024/02/28/preliminary-results-show-2-initiatives-eligible-appear-ballot/That would put the power of elections right back in the hands of the party not the people. Steve Bannon had the loser of the election in Alaska on and he claims to be some kind of political outsider, but naw he just said the same nonsense she said "God its impossible to understand ranked choice voting, you need like a PHD in statistics!" They interviewed people leaving the polls asking if they had any trouble understand how to vote and they all said no. The problem was that an Alaska Native Female Democrat took a Republican's seat so they will do anything to stop that.

I asked if someone was shot, for a reason, because you ommitted the reason from your original post. You're baiting, troll.

To answer your question the guy who shot himself stormed the building at Trumps prompting never he couldn't accept he lost. I think when the smoke cleared he realized what he did and shot himself out of guilt. Imagine being a white male making a solid 6 figures and throwing your life away for someone who doesn't give a fuck about you because his ego was bruised.

What do you make of all the videos of police escorting people into the building? Start of the protest maybe and then things escalated to violence later.
I've seen videos of leftists protesting where the law erects very tall, sturdy fences and they don't escort people in. Stark contrast to the small, easily moveable barriers they had for Trump protesters. It does look bad - like they wanted bad shit to go down on Jan 6.

Was this guy in the same crowd crushing a policeman? The link I posted (article by The Hill - media bias check ranks "least biased") paints a different narrative (snippet below).. It's worded like he off'd himself because of all the hate he was getting from various people, not necessarily for being ignored by Trump. Personally, I don't have any disillusionment about Trump caring for people outside of his own family and circle of friends. There's no mention in the article, not even by prosecuters, of him being party to the death of a police officer. If the article I linked is far down the right-wing rabbit hole, the media bias fact checkers would be lying.
