I don’t have a medical card. It’s complicated here getting a medical card if you also have a concealed carry permit. They say the two systems can’t see each other but I trust a govt agency none. A buddy who has a card gave me this bag.
I wasn’t even remotely interested till my doctor gave me a thing of CBD cream to put on my foot that I tweaked the other week. After seeing how great it worked I thought I would try the real stuff. I voted to legalize medicinal pot here and now I am thinking we should just go ahead and make recreational legal as well. If only the federal govt would legalize it and remove it from the form 4473 for buying a firearm.

Distorting Christianity for political purposes is quite the opposite of Jesus. My God doesn’t hate gay people. Everything in that paragraph is against the teachings of Jesus.
John chapter 8 seems pretty applicable here.

That paragraph says nothing about God hating gays...

"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error," (Rom. 1:26-27)

At least gay people don't have to abort babies.
I am conservative but I think that having a portion of the population that is gay is probably a good anomaly in modern society. 1,000 years ago, living in small villages with limited options for procreation, it probably could have been a devastating anomaly that could wipe out a village. In today's society, it kind of serves as a form of population control and also as a fail safe for procreation.
One thing to consider is the question - why do humans procreate sexually? Organisms CAN and often do procreate through asexual means. Why did humans evolve to procreate as couples? Because sex doesn't create babies. It creates teenagers. If you are a single parent with an offspring - the chances of that baby surviving into its teenage years when it becomes a viable means of propagating the species is much less than if that child has 2 parents who stay together (because they have an offspring together and they like to fugg). If one parent dies and that's all you got, you're a dead baby. If you have a backup parent, you may still have a chance.
But what happens if both parents die? Isn't there some use to having a pool of individuals who are willing to pick up the torch and raise that child? Homosexuality may serve this purpose biologically. They may actually help ensure procreation of the species in a, I hesitate to use the term back door, in of way.
There are all kinds of situations where it could be good to have a "partner" available that isn't interested in fornication but could still serve the other functions of a viable adult. Or situations where having a partner that is incapable of actually forming a baby with you that is still attracted to you and willing to help out.
I know this is not probably a popular opinion...but it's the type of thoughts that kick around in my head sometimes.

Man, Hendrix was way ahead of his time. Kinda like Marty McFly playing the guitar in Back to the Future. Very bad comparison...but you get my point. Too many great ones have died too soon.

It is dangerous to reveal the truth about the illegal and immoral things our government does with our money and in our name, and the war on journalists who dare reveal such truths is very much a bipartisan affair. Just ask Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who was relentlessly pursued first by the Obama Administration and now by the Trump Administration for the “crime” of reporting on the crimes perpetrated by the United States government.
Assange is now literally fighting for his life, as he tries to avoid being extradited to the United States where he faces 175 years in prison for violating the “Espionage Act.” While it makes no sense to be prosecuted as a traitor to a country of which you are not a citizen, the idea that journalists who do their job and expose criminality in high places are treated like traitors is deeply dangerous in a free society.
To get around the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of the press, Assange’s tormentors simply claim that he is not a journalist. Then-CIA director Mike Pompeo declared that Wikileaks was a “hostile intelligence service” aided by Russia. Ironically, that’s pretty much what the Democrats say about Assange.
Earlier this month, a US Federal appeals court judge ruled that the NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ telephone records was illegal. That bulk collection program, born out of the anti-American PATRIOT Act, was first revealed to us by whistleblower Edward Snowden just over seven years ago.
That is why whistleblowers and those who publish their information are so important. Were it not for Snowden and Assange, we would never know about this government criminality. And if we never know about government malfeasance it can never be found to be criminal in the first place. That is convenient for governments, but it is also a recipe for tyranny.
While we might expect the US media to aggressively come to the aid of a fellow journalist being persecuted by the government for doing his job, the opposite is happening. As journalist Glen Greenwald wrote last week, the US mainstream media is completely ignoring the Assange extradition trial.
Why would they do such a thing? Partisan politics. Journalists – with a few important exceptions like Greenwald himself – are no longer interested in digging and reporting the truth. These days they believe they have a “higher calling.”
As Greenwald puts it, “If you start from the premise that Trump is a fascist dictator who has brought Nazi tyranny to the US, then it isn’t that irrational to believe that anyone who helped empower Trump (which is how they see Assange) deserves to be imprisoned, hence the lack of concern about it.”
That may seem like a good idea to these journalists in the short term, but for journalism itself to become an extension of government power rather than a check on that power would be deeply harmful.
We cannot have a self-governing society as was intended for our Republic if the government, with the complicity of the mainstream media, decides that there are things we are not allowed to know about it. President Trump should end the US government’s war on Assange…and on all whistleblowers and their publishers.

i am with rush, after hearing if it looks like mitch has the votes to confirm here comes another activist like blasey ford with a agenda and willing to lie to push that agenda forward. the inconsistencies of fords statements along with what her own family have said convinces me she was a political hack and feinstein knew this from the beginning...i am sure democrats are lining up the next blasey fords as i type this.

william lecroy is scheduled to be executed at 6pm.
lecroy was convicted of raping and killing 30 year old joann tisler in her georgia home in 2001....lecroy previously spent 10 years in state and federal prisons for assault, rape and child molestation.
for whatever reason the group of protesters seemed larger today than for past executions, at the same time response of locals to protesters seemed more vocally hostile although no physical confrontations have been reported.

my guess is it's because the weather is so nice today for the crowd being larger...i would have thought the crowd would have been larger for the native american, but i think the issue there was they wanted the right to execute him since he killed a native american on tribal land.

this one is not the native american, the native american lezmond mitchell killed a grandmother and her 9 year old granddaughter, but it didn't say he mollested the girl.
the man today lecroy had a former conviction for child molestation but not specifically what he was given death penalty for, although i am sure that was a factor.
sorry for any confusion, i mentioned the native american only because i thought there would have been a larger group of protesters for his execution.

I heard the un-Supreme court pick will be on Saturday.
In other news, NY sucks...I need 4 notarized "character references" just to get a in home/gun range pistol. After a daunting process I have to appear in front of a Judge. I heard "self defense" is often not a legitimate enough reason to have a gun in your home.
I think Im going to join a gun club, make new friends and connections, I have an interest in shooting sports so I think this route may be the way to go but until then no pistol. Im really craving a Ruger Mark IV lite for target shooting but I have to permanently modify it to make it NYS compliant.
