    The lights inside Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River were on later than usual on Sept. 30, so a passerby stopped to take a closer look.

    Peering inside, the onlooker saw the small parish's pastor half-naked having sex with two women on the altar, according to court documents. The women were dressed in corsets and high-heeled boots. There were sex toys and stage lighting. And a mobile phone as well as a separate camera were mounted on tripods, recording it all.

    Per Moody's, economy looks better under Biden: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/09/25/biden-democratic-sweep-would-be-best-outcome-for-the-economy-moodys-says/

     

    A Democratic sweep that puts Joe Biden in the White House and the party back in the Senate majority would produce 7.4 million more jobs and a faster economic recovery than if President Trump retains power.

  3. John Adams... very underrated.  Really liked the Biography I read that showed his adversarial friendship with Jefferson and Franklin.

     

    I also have a ton of respect for Truman.  Guts enough to drop the bomb not once but twice saving untold lives (millions probably).  Didn't trust Stalin.

     

    Growing up I liked Nixon and still do despite his obvious failures.  He forced North Vietnam to the negotiating table and probably stopped short with the bombing of NV as they were on the brink of collapse.

     

    Reagan was a modern day conservative champion that brought the country back from the brink of the Carter depression and raised our international standing but got mired in secret wars that tarnished his presidency.  I credit him with the collapse of the soviet bloc which was huge.

     

    ETA:  Lincoln.  He freed the slaves.  United a divided country.  But at the expense of freedom of the press.  Jailed a lot of journalists that dared to write stories that offended him.

  4. Trump is an ass.

    But the results of his first 3 years before COVID are hard to ignore.

    • Record low unemployment
    • No new wars.  Reduction in foreign deployments
    • ISIS virtually destroyed
    • Better/Fairer trade deals with China and North America.
    • Reduced tensions with NK.

    I don't think Biden would have handled the Covid response much differently.

     

    Biden had 47 years in political office to make an impact and did nothing but make things worse.

     

    He is a shell.  He will be a trojan horse for the policies of Pelosi, Schumer, AOC and Bernie.

    Yes I would. Gathering the people's information here to remind us that we're all people. 

     

    That's awesome RE the shooting for you but especially your daughter. Of all the things that I should have encourage my daughter for scholarship, I never thought of shooting! Damn it where were you when she was 4 years old and I could have pushed that instead of bunch-ball youth soccer?

     

    Whatever you want to share man/woman/they? 

    Rifle/Pistol is the 3rd easiest sport to get a scholarship for which is something like 17% of HS students that participate in the sport get a scholarship.

     

    The best sport to get a scholarship for is Fencing.  ~30% of HS students in that sport get a scholarship.

    Born in West Seneca

    Moved to East Otto when I was 13 (spent summers and most weekends in Zoar Vally since I was an infant)

    Went to college, got a job with a company which I spent 14 years working for and travelled around to world helping to setup Lottery data centers and trained the computer operators.  Met my wife in Prague while on a project there.

    Got a new job working for a large financial company for the past 21 years.

    I live in New Hampshire and when I'm not arguing with people about politics on this board I root for the Bills and am the Director/Coach of a Junior Rifle Team and I shoot rifle and pistol competitively (7 time NH state resident conventional pistol champion).

     

    My avatar is my daughter who shot for The Ohio State Varsity Rifle Team for 3 years on scholarship.

  7. A few liberal posters who only joined a relatively short time ago, provide little or no actual content beyond childish memes and repetitive responses apparently goaded DR into responding to their antics. 

     

    Once he responded to their repeated infantile posts they run to a mod to complain.

     

    DR has a long history of providing interesting content.  

     

    I don't want to see the board lose one if its most prolific members because of the actions of a small group of instigators.

     

    Also, the 'asshats' earned the name IMO.  They open new threads where there was a perfectly good one to add to.  It ends up cluttering the board with multiple threads on the same basic subject.

    There is no room on any board for an agent paid to create chaos. DR in my opinion is one of Putin's boys. He has other posting egos to support his positions. Thank you SDS for keeping PPP for real people.

    You just identified the line.

     

    "Deep State?" Sure. I think it's more of a metaphorical concept -- there is an entrenched, non-politically appointed part of the bureaucracy that resists change, and, as a consequence, has tended to try to temper or even thwart this Administration's more radical agenda. And that applied to other administrations too ... there's an inertia there.

     

    This we agree on.

     

    And is exactly why I believe that *IF* there is a deep state is why it is bad.  If an administration is elected into office, their policies MUST be implemented without political bias by the entrenched bureaucrats.   The American people have made their choice and that is what they wanted.
