I don't know if the story is true or not, but it fits the mold of what Obama did. He dropped the sanctions and sent over a bunch of money.

So, be honest, whose money did he send them? Can you be honest?

I have no problem being honest or answering questions. So, I'll answer honestly and let's see if you can return the favor. Deal?

It was Iran's money that he sent back. However, he didn't have to do it.


Question. Under the deal Obama made with Iran there were places that were off-limits to the inspectors. Moreover, Iran has a long history that proves it can't be trusted. Did Obama make a bad deal? Or was it good in your eyes? Please elaborate.

A deal needed to be made and I believe it was the best possible deal. Was it perfect? Probably not. Was it necessary? Yes.
Also, Iran seemed to be following the deal until the US reneged.

Let me tell you a story about a frog and a scorpion.

The scorpion was sitting on the bank of the river and noticed a frog at the edge of the water and asked him if he would give a a ride on his back to the other side of the river.

The frog told the scorpion no and told him that he will sting him and he would die.

The scorpion responded and promised the frog that he would not sting him because the frog would be doing him a big favor.

The frog finally agrees to give him a ride.

When they got half way across the river the scorpion stings the frog.

The frog says: "oh, I'm gonna die. Why did you sting me?"

The scorpion responds: "You knew what I was before you agreed to give me a ride."

New enrollees in Obamacare exceed half a million.
The number rose sharply from previous years, probably a result of more outreach, less stringent criteria for signing up, and the pandemic.

Just more laws that would apply to only law abiding citizens. This will do nothing but increase the already high demand for guns - democrats are very good at doing that. Maybe he just wants to ban the AR-14? I think liberals want to take away our guns because deep down they know they are not mentally stable enough to own one, therefore no one else should be allowed to own one either.

Don't worry Nobody is taking your guns.
However closing loopholes should be supported by everyone.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Kentucky, which has a Republican legislature and a Democratic governor, has enacted a bill to expand voting rights.

Among its provisions are the official approval for voting centers (which is just combining some polling places so people can choose from a few places to go vote, rather than just the one in their precinct) - 17 states already do this, but the drawback to this is, there are fewer polling places!

an online portal for absentee ballot registration (26 states already have some form of this, while ALL states allow you to request an absentee ballot by mail.). Kentucky’s law states you must have a VALID reason to request!

and three days of early voting. - 43 states already allow some form of early voting. In Nebraska, for example, it’s 35 days as opposed to Kentucky’s 3 days. Kentucky also added a provision that upped the restrictions on who can request these ballots. Up to this point Kentucky had NO early voting laws.

It will also require drop boxes, - Lol! - Again, Most states already have ballot boxes available to its citizens, usually at the county Clerk’s office.

creates official recount procedures, - WTF!?! Lol! - Over half the states already have Automatic recounts when a certain threshold is met. 43 states allow requested recounts.

allows for tax dollars to advocate for or against ballot questions - This is a bullshit provision! Most states, if using taxpayer dollars, CANNOT advocate for or against, it must be completely neutral information about the ballot question. This will most likely be abused.

and mandates all voting machines to generate a paper trail for votes cast. - Nearly every state already requires this. It would be stupid not to have that hard copy as backup!

What they don’t tell you about “the only red state ‘that is expanding voting rights’”, is that there’s this little provision in there that REQUIRES SOME FORM OF IDENTIFICATION TO VOTE! Ope, There it is!! Lol.

All in all, Kentucky had some outdated voting policies, and are just trying to get on an even level with the rest of us!

Not really big news, or surprising to most of us.
To others, they see this as a chance to twist it into “Georgia Bad, Kentucky Good”. Lol. Even though there’s an ID requirement!!

They want to ban guns for the same reason they want the fencing and barriers up in DC!
They know the people are sick of their shit, and they are afraid of the resistance/ revolution that may ensue.
Look what happened at the capitol. 100,000 unarmed (except for a few) citizens came in and shut it down! Now imagine a Million or 2 million ARMED citizens doing the same thing! They would have no chance!
They have created that atmosphere and are now panicking and fearful that an armed resistance to their bullshit may be inevitable.

and that's why the founders wrote the 2nd Amendment .. not to protect hunting ... but rather to stand up to tyranny. That's why Hitler disarmed the germans.. fear of an uprising.
