I won't comment on NFL games or stadium venues, but there is absolutely functional federal enforcement re unauthorized drone usage. I have a commercial drone license and am aware of this.
-
As I read the link, it simply enabling local law enforcement to utilize anti drone measures. That authority, to date, is reserved for the Feds. The fact is that operating a drone over a stadium without FAA authorization is illegal, and has always been, and for very good reasons.

63% of new IRS audits targeted people making less than 200k
sherpa replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
IRS audits are the result of IRS problems with a return. IRS agents do not make their money auditing returns that have no discrepancies. There are other windmills worth tilting over. -

I don't agree with the targeting claim. IRS audits are based on filed returns. I would aver that the audits were based on discrepancies within those returns, like inaccurate 1099's etc. High income filers don't make those mistakes. They probably have professional help. My guess is that there's no story here. -
The Maxine Waters Stupid Sayings Thread
sherpa replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The same woman who advocated for going after "them" in restaurants. I had the "privilege" of carrying her on many of her weekend roundtrips from Dulles to LA. The woman is a classless, imperious, arrogant slob. -
These are apolitical stats derived from apolitical sources. The Biden Admin doesn't influence them. It was weaker than expected, but the reading too much into one economic report is foolish. Better to use a three-six month moving average. That gives a much better picture. Still, we are approaching the end of the time line that these economic reports are grossly effected by the pandemic, and become more meaningful.

I've been following details of this since the thing was an idea. The "dock" is completely unprotected, so any weather of any serious consequence is going to stop the operation. Think WWII Normandy, but worse. The vessels being used are quite small, so any serious weather is going to require them to be hoisted until it passes. Regarding other news on this front, Eisenhower has now left the Red Sea and is in the Med, meaning there is no carrier to threaten the Houthis. I would say that objectively, Operation Prosperity Guardian has been a mission failure. Traffic through the Red Sea is at 50% of previous levels, and is largely Russian an other unfriendly stuff. There have been 50 attacks on shipping that have been successfully defended, one sinking of a commercial ship and one taken over. The joint forces have been incredibly productive, but the political will to end the threat has not, so it lives on.

There were lots and lots and lots of people who were protesting the removal of the statue. I drove past the staging area that the despicable white supremacists were staging to begin their little walk. I had to stop to allow them to cross the street, with traffic police assistance. It took about three minutes as I recall for them to cross. Maybe 75 people. There were a lot more on the other side of the issue. All locals. Some were there to protest the white supremacists, some simply to protest the foolishness of removing the statue. There were many more on that side.

Continuing your record of incisive brilliance.

The rally was from out of towners. The entire, stupid remove the statue thing was idiotic, and led by a racist black man with expressed and extreme anti white women views. He's still around. Name is Wes Bellamy. The rest have been prosecuted and found guilty. Regarding your comment about the state police, I am very familiar with people involved in the police rules of engagement that day, and it could have been prevented. All of them have been fired or removed. Trump is not a careful speaker, but there is no ambiguity. The man stated twice that he was not talking about neo nazis or white supremacists, and he directly expressed his disdain for those, yet it continues to be ignored by political nuts. The claim of ambiguity is from political hacks who, like you, for political reasons, refuse to read his response. "Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee." It never ends.

First things first. The event you posted is not what happened on that day. Not sure if that matters, but it is not related to the event of some lunatic from Ohio coming here and killing a local woman. By the way, the man who served on the city council at the time, who was behind the statue removal, something not at all popular here, is thus quoted: ”I don't like white people, so I hate white snow." In one, from October 2011, Bellamy retweeted a description of performing a sex act on a sleeping woman and the comment that “if she moan it aint rape.” “this weekend I’ll be on a whitegirl diet.” He shared the message, then added “a rape charge waiting to happen,” according to the Cavalier Daily. In another tweet, according to the Daily, he wrote that white women “smell like future assault charges n deli meat.” While serving on city council: "I really tune out when white people talk in community meetings. I really need to work on that.” On the day that the woman was killed, I drove by the staging ground of these imported white supremacists, and I commented to my wife that it looked insane, and that something horrible was bound to happen. It all could have been prevented if the state police force was not told to stand down. Nobody

This "theme" should be buried. I live here. I was extremely aware of what was going on. The guy you are talking about has been convicted. The issue began when an anti white racist, who I am sure you or the other two clowns have no idea about, insisted that a statue be removed. Most folks, for a hundred years or so, had no problem with the statue. The city council's decision to have it torn down caused the entire thing. The people who arrived from out of state had this idiotic torch march, reviled by locals. That led to what happened. In no objective judgement was Trump talking about neo Nazis or white supremacists being "good people," as he clearly stated twice. He was talking about people who either advocated or opposed the removal of the statue, which has proven to be a stupid waste of taxpayer money. Watched it.

You are an absolute idiot. and nothing you could ever do would bother me, let alone the absurd claim made in this fantasy. You had your chance, when you first challenged me, and you hid like a cockroach. Regarding class, you have no idea.
-
No, I did not say that, and this is not the first time you have made this false statement, or post idiocy that I support trump. You continue to lie. You asked me a question, and I said I would not respond to your questions, as I don't work for you. I never said I would not reply or post a response to the stupidity you post, which is unending. Didn't happen, and I have explained it before. Anyway, the Trump claim was regarding people who advocated and those who did not, the stupidity of removing a statue, and he was correct. There were good people on both sides, and i know a few of them and their arguments, both sides valid. Never, ever did he advocate any white supremacist or neo Nazi belief, and he made that point clearly, twice, in that discussion. Always omitted in grossly stupid claims. People who continue to make that claim identify themselves as idiots.
-
For the one billionth time, in direct opposition to your link, he never claimed that neo Nazis or white supremacists that were not from Charlottesville but participated in that event were fine people. Give it up. Anybody who still claims that, as your link does, is a completely discredited moron.

It is being used, largely, on "us," and the "average joe" is involved in that production. Purchasing weapons, or any other US produced commodity does not result in a check to stock holders.
-
Yep. They request the aid. In most cases it's for very specific items. The headline number is total $, but that is mostly poured into buying US weapons, made in the US by US workers. You know, the weapons that actually work. Not all, but most of the aid is thus directed., and it is good.
-
Almost all of it is going within our borders.
-
No. They became the Islamic Republic of Iran becasue they chose to. Just as they choose to be the single worst exporter of terrorism and instability in the world. Their choice, and they will get their well deserved results. The US didn't create that horrific regime.
-
I didn't almost go, I went. It was Iran, who is behind all this and should have been dealt with long ago.
-
If you're talking to me, I did go "over there to fight." Thankfully, it didn't happen, although none of this past twenty five years may have occurred if we did fight then. By the way, your responses here indicated by your last two sentences quoted above, suggest that you might not be as brilliant as you claim.
