And people wonder why the US has been a collection of states with a Federal Government ever since the whole Space Race ended up with Americans on the moon.
...he keeps this up... ...and the Donald's going to lose all that Nigerian military support he had bolstering his favorability-among-black-people poll. ...and with Kanye West-Khardasian threatening in a brief moment of shocking lucidity to scale back (or dumb down, more aptly) his support... ...I don't know how his numbers would survive the dent...
Yep. The interesting question is how it ever came to be interpreted as something that effects children of foreigners born on US soil.
You need to help me out with what you're thinking first. Contrary to popular opinion, I can't read minds. Which is to say, I have no idea how one relates to the other.
I think he was asking if it was also on to question abiding by the second amendment when weapons have changed so much since it was written.
Yep and the reasoning for the amendment in the first place as opposed to the realities of the present.
Opioid-related deaths have grown in lockstep with the volume of opioids prescribed. A spike in the use of illegal opioids in the United States followed the rise in prescriptions, as many users turn to heroin and other illegal drugs once they can no longer obtain enough of their prescribed drug to keep pace with what may be a developing addiction. “We didn’t develop an opioid epidemic until there was a huge surplus of opioids, which started with pharmaceutical drugs distributed legally,” says New York Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan. This started about 20 years ago. Most of the heroin coming into the United States is cultivated on poppy farms in Mexico, with eight cartels controlling production and operating distribution hubs in major U.S. cities. Mexican cartels, which the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has called the “greatest criminal drug threat to the United States,” typically smuggle narcotics across the U.S. southwest border in passenger vehicles or tractor trailers. Large quantities of heroin are also produced in South American countries, particularly Colombia, and trafficked to the United States by air and sea. ========= Furthermore, the fentanyl found at the southern border tends to be less potent than the fentanyl shipped through the mail. "Large volumes of fentanyl are seized at the [southern border], although these seizures are typically low in purity – on average approximately 7 percent," the DEA’s 2017 report says. "Conversely, the smaller volumes seized after arriving in the mail directly from China can have purities over 90 percent and be worth much more than the fentanyl seized at the SWB." ... "Traffickers hide their illicit cargo in secret, state–of–the art compartments designed for cars, or under legal goods in trailer trucks. And they have learned many techniques for fooling the border patrol," Vanda Felbab-Brown wrote in an August 2017 essay for the Brookings Institute, a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. This stuff is not being walked across the border. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-opioid-epidemic https://www.politifact.com/north-ca...er/would-wall-have-prevented-opioid-epidemic/
I think what America really needs to do is deploy our entire armed forces along the border. They can dig moats (even better if we can employ alligators), build guard towers to pour boiling oil from, and set up pill boxes with machine guns. I can't imagine what our military things about doing this.
Barbed wire is in fact quite beautiful at times. I've rebuilt miles of fence out on the ranches (with the help of hardass-working hombres, don't tell anybody). It's really cool to literally look back after a yearlong project with people who are now your amigos for life and say, "Damn, We did that."
That barbed wires imagery... sad, funny and embarrassing. But I guess you got to do everything to stop the coming invasion.
