Technical point, by constitutional design laws are supposed to be horribly difficult to pass. The only ones intended to pass are ones with popular support.
That all ended of course with the uniparty who passed whatever they pleased.....
I love my frens here on GAW, and many pedes will have issues with this. HOWEVER, drug users are a huge part of the problem.
Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, all start from gateway/recreational drugs. Don't do it!
How many homeless are such because of this?
Medical use is different. Just make sure it is actually medically needed and you aren't just kidding yourself.
Nope. When dealing with aggressors, taking out their offensive capability, it can indeed be called defensive strikes.
In the USA, there is a thing called Stand Your Ground in most states, which is different to the Duty to Retreat that many nations, and sadly some blue states, enforce. There is also a thing calle Acting in Defense, which can be of oneself or others. Those tennets hold for multiple spectrums of American culture and law.
It is totally permissible to use force (up to and including deadly) in defense of yourself and others if you feel threatened. The amount of force used should be somewhat proportional to the threat. Often more force, especially if needed to end the threat, is needed, understood, and acceptable to the law.
Expounding on examples:
If someone slapped you, shooting them is excessive force. However, If you genuinely feel your life (or others) is threatened, for example they have a visible weapon, they say they are going to kill you and then advance to perform said action, especially if you are a twig and they are a ripped 250lbs. dude, then yes, taking their life is acceptable in defense.
In wartime, it is much easier. If you are protecting something or someone, and someone else attacks, yes you can defensively neutralize the offense. War is so much deadlier, killing the offensive /aggressive force, is almost always the acceptable countermeasure/defense.
Im as anti-regulation as they come, so I'm for an outright ban on atmospheric engineering.
You can't say 'hey, I own a plane and all the stuff to spread whatever I want and you can't stop me because anti-regulations.'
Thats how corpses turn up in the oddest places.
Rather than that extreme, I'd settle for a ban.
I'm rated pretty low income-wise though i have a good job. My investments are shooting up too. Don't poopoo investors thinking they're all rich people.
Also don't be jelous because someone has money, it does not become you Tomestone.
We should be happy when someone acheives the American dream. There is a difference between rich and obscene, maybe you meant the obscene people.
There is a lot more to this debate than this presents. A lot of private schools do not accept state funding, let alone federal, for the very reason of curriculum independance. Likewise, thare are ways to accept some (a lot) of those funds without getting the independance taken away. You want the nitty gritty particulars, ask a private school administrator. Many are more than happy to explain it.
The trick going forward is three fold:
-
Continue to promote school choice and funding while it is there.
-
Hold private schools acountable by making sure they maintain education independance.
-
Hold fed and states accountable, change the funding rules to make more of the funds available to alternate education without the bad curriculum requirements.
No.
S'why they're not enforcing it.
HOA probably passed the rule (HOA cannot pass laws, just covenants and rules.) And expected the contractual agreement of the homeowners to be the enforcement engine, so you willingly give up the rights by contract.
Except it doesnt work that way. Bill of Rights is federal law, a private contract (your HOA agreement) cannot supersede state or federal laws, including the Constitution. Likewise, many states now have State Constitutional equivalents to the 2nd amendment that are as strong, if not stronger than 2A.
All it would take is one homeowner to contest it in court and it would go away. That is expensive so it often doesnt get challenged, so a corrupt HOA will let it stay in place, unenforceable, and just Karen about it all over the place.
Well crap, that means they're gonna take our bank account numbers and start billing us all $10.00/month forever, and we have to go to Alpha Ceti Prime to their main office to cancel the membership. That could get pricy.
You aren't wrong but there are alternatives, depending on what you want to do and if you are willing to look for it. I know my relative only drives in-state, and doesnt go over 50 hrs/week (when he was driving full time). Most weeks he'd get his 40 or there abouts and be done.
So, I know other options exist, but I admit I'm not familliar with how they work.
This will be a short term ouchie as it will delay consumer goods and material deliveries.
Americans will be able to get jobs though. I have relatives who drive truck, they are hurting for hours. Should be plenty of overtime now.
"As of May 2026, Leroy Ernest Joseph McCrary has not yet been convicted or sentenced in the murder case related to the death of Patricia McKay at Fashion Island; the case is still in the pre-trial or trial phase."
CA is the worst. He should already be convicted injected and rotting in the ground.
Handshake in the comments is right, this is old news. 2024.

This is more the tale that needs told.
Pharma needs to be removed.. that is where all the incentive and push comes from.
I actually see this backfiring horribly. At least in the short term.
People will be under prescribed for stuff that actually helps. There isnt a lot, but it will go away and that will be just as bad in some cases.
Sure, a lot of cases it will be better, but this is not the way long term.
Yeah, im not sure how that is a win....?
