It especially made sense because the students could go hunting directly from school, before the sun set at 6PM or earlier...(northern latitude). Camo clothing wasn't seen as a threat, either, just that someone was likely looking to go hunting after school.
That's right. The very same was here.

« Last post by Smokin Joe on Today at 06:05:21 pm »If Taxes aren't theft, why does the IRS need guns?I always saw wages like barter. A value for value exchange (no net gain). IIRC, wages were not originally taxed, just capital gains.
Wages by definition in Blacks Law dictionary is compensation. Congress taxes profit and gains, NOT COMPENSATION.
Workers receive compensation not profit and gains.
Once you understand this, you too can walk away and be free of the Fed.

Politics/Government / Re: Johnson: Greene not ‘proving to be’ a serious lawmaker
« Last post by kevindavis007 on Today at 06:04:57 pm »Her point, before being mislabeled as a Putin supporter by even some who claim to be conservative, is that we have sent multiples of the amount it would take to secure OUR border elsewhere, and especially to Ukraine, but there seems to be little interest in stopping the invasion of these United States. That invasion will be our undoing, and without us, the world will fall.
It isn't that BOTH could not be funded, and the two could be linked--as so often is done with all sorts of stuff in spending bills. For this, she gets derided by people who should get it.
Small wonder the country is such a bleep mess.
Which party controls the Senate and the White House?

Space / NASA's Hubble Telescope is back in action — but its TESS exoplanet hunter may now be in trouble
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 06:03:42 pm »Space.com by Robert Lea 5/2/2024
Both space telescopes went down on April 23 — but, while Hubble is back, TESS remains in safe mode.
On Monday (April 29), NASA restored the Hubble Space Telescope to full operation, returning it to its scientific activities after the spacecraft spent a week in safe mode. The celebratory mood was dampened somewhat, however, because NASA's exoplanet hunter, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), remains in limbo.
Ironically, TESS also stopped collecting science data on April 23, the same day the Hubble Telescope was placed into safe mode. The latter's operations were halted due to a glitch with one of its three gyroscopes, which the space telescope uses to determine how it is orientated, while the reason for the former's lapse in service is still unclear.
NASA engineers had been preparing to operate Hubble, which launched in 1990 and has been surveying the cosmos for 34 years, with just one gyroscope. A NASA update on Tuesday (April 30) revealed that the issue had been resolved, and Hubble was back to operating with three gyros. In the statement, NASA said that all of Hubble’s instruments are online, and the telescope has resumed taking scientific observations.

Politics/Government / Kristen Clarke Allegedly Knifed Her Ex And Lied About It — But It’s Not The Worst Thing She’s Done

Sure, Clarke lies. But she has also weaponized the DOJ.
According to The Daily Signal, there is a strong indication that Kristen Clarke, who now leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, lied during her confirmation process in 2021. In written questions, Sen. Tom Cotton had asked Clarke: “Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person.” Her answer was “No.”
Clarke, who was arrested in July 2006, allegedly attacked her husband with a knife, “deeply slicing his finger to the bone.” Her pedantic argument is that her record was expunged. But the incident meets all the criteria of being “accused” of a “violent crime.”
Listen, we have no clue how the knife incident went down. It’s a personal matter. Clarke says it happened after years of domestic abuse. Maybe her then-husband had it coming. Maybe not. She still lied to the Senate. And it’s not the only thing she lied about.
Clarke, recall, was ahead of the curve in spreading the racist pseudoscientific quackery that has popularized on modern campuses. As president of the Black Student Association at Harvard in the 1990s, she authored a wild letter to the Crimson, arguing that the structure of the black person’s brain made them superior to other races. Chemicals in the brain, Clarke went on, imbued the black race with “superior physical and mental abilities” and “spiritual abilities,” and “[m]elanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities — something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards.”

« Last post by Smokin Joe on Today at 05:53:54 pm »Ukraine is continuing to defy LIEden's, ummm, request, that they not attack Russian oil production and storage facilities:The only oil industry LIEden is anxious to destroy is our own.

Unlike LIEden, they realize that tanks and IFVs (of various types) and weapons systems (self-propelled or towed) need fuel, making Russian oil production and storage facilities important military targets. No fuel, no move.
