In #3 vxbush said: Really, California? This is the look you want? California lawmakers have voted down a measure that would make it a felony to buy 16 and 17-year-olds for sex. Assembly Bill 379 was introduced to crack down on sex trafficking, particularly those who traffic children, KCRA reported. Jukebox

New York Just Took a Big Step Toward State-Sponsored Suicide The example Green cites from Canada is noteworthy: Canada's MAID law came into effect in 2021 and, just like the bill just passed by the New York state assembly, restricted "access" to suicide to people who were both mentally competent and terminally ill. Just two years later, Canada's Liberals had expanded MAID to cover almost anything. "Stage Four lung cancer?" I asked two years ago. "MAID. Permanently disabled and unable to care for yourself? MAID. Chronic pain? MAID. Down in the dumps? MAID. Are you one of those icky poor people? MAID." That report involved Vancouver resident Kathrin Mentler, who was recommended to accept state-sponsored suicide because there weren't any psychiatrists available to treat her chronic depression. Mentler tried to check herself into a Vancouver hospital in June of 2023 to get help with “debilitating feelings of hopelessness and suicidality. What she received instead was a notice from a clinician that Canada’s broken healthcare system had created a shortage of psychiatrists. “Have you considered MAID?” the clinician asked. She wanted treatment. They offered her death.

Reply to vxbush in 7: Well, apparently not--as I was going to add to my original post, sigh--but that big of a drop when 5 are dead is still excessive.

Reply to vxbush in 7: That is an activist Judge. Trump did sign an EO making lack of English a red tag for drivers.

Well, I was implying that in my #9--that the drop in bail was too huge for this level of death. Heck, if the media wanted people to know about this because the driver was Republican, they would have claimed it was a terrorist attack.

I'm surprised that none of the pro-Hamas demonstrators has yet sported a T-shirt or like garment touting "Palestinian State University."

Open the Books noted that Harvard received money from entities within the "Palestinian Territories" in the amount of $1.6 million. That's small change compared to what they got from the federal government, but Harvard refused to explain where that money came from. And money from Qatar hasn't been analyzed, either, I believe. (Source: PA money came from an email from OpentheBooks.com; Qatar money from memory but not enough details to confirm.)

A Tuesday afternoon at the range is definitely better than a Tuesday afternoon at work. 😀
