States that choose to make human life at a stage "VOTING"

If a states states human life begins at certain stage, then that should be day 1 of the fetus birthday....

So all of those " underage drinkers at 20 years in those states" should she be considered 21! Same goes for ....VOTING!

Hard Truth about Democracy to live.

Our Democracy is based on our electors doing what the people they serve sent them to do OR follow the Constitution.

Who are our electors?

Answer is candidates that were voted in by the people within a district.

Who decides who belongs to what district?

Republicans say their computer that formulated winning maps.

Democrats have no say.

We need to have an universal approach how our federal and state districts are mapped.

Metropolitan, Interstates, Rivers and county lines. No more Tetris maps.

Regulating the airlines for fuel consumption.

What are your thoughts shutting down the airlines to just weekends? Regulating the airlines should saves fuel consumption, thereby reducing the high need for high octane airplane fuel. Whereby reducing costs at the pumps.

Yes, US would probably be the lone wolf on the regulation, but perhaps the world would follow.

Thoughts?

MO GOP Legislation has passed a bill to end sleeping on State Property

Missouri Legislation has passed a bill that was to make it a crime for homeless to sleep on state property. But, to their ignorance, made it a crime to sleep in state parks and state prisons, because the letter of the law is the letter of the law!

So, with the state prisons, prisoners can not sleep in their cells, must be a wake 24/7. Kinda cruel I do believe...

State parks, there goes my camping trip!

Solution to Guns

I have posted this before and it had a mixed review, but in the Era we are in, we must give and take to get towards a goal. That goal is gun safety.

Why does a person need an AR-15 in their home or small parcel of land? They don't!

Why does a person have to fire their AR-15 for everyone to hear in their backyard? They don't!

Why does a person have an AR-15? Because they spent the money for one to own and believe it is for their protection or prospects of going to war.

Sad but true!

My solution:

You can not simply ask these people to hand you their AR-15. It is nearly waste of time to every consider doing that and they would use it on you if you try to take it away.

Solution: Private individuals can own one if they register the AR-15 and ONLY have it at a private gun club or range where it is stored under lock and key. Any transfer of the weapons must be under a license arms dealer.

1. Gun clubs would profit under this.
2. Storage of the deadly weapon will keep it out of bad actors.
3. Safety of firing the weapon will occur at a range, not in a back yard.
4. This is not taking the weapons away, but a restriction of where the weapons can be.
5. Set a particular date a few months away and anyone failing to adhere to the new law, would severely fined and lost of the weapon.

January 6 insurgents ALL should lose their right to vote!

I just watched a 28 minute video this morning of the January 6 insurgents on the Capitol and the democratic party SHOULD REPLAY those videos on TV for the next three months. EVERY PERSON that turned towards the the Capitol and/or joined the crowd of insurgents should lose their right the vote. They KNEW it was not going to be a peaceful protest when MOST of those in the crowds were in protection gear and flags where displayed. Chants of PUSHING through the Capitol police were loudly made, where anyone that was present WOULD KNOW that THEIR intentions were to stop a legal congressional proceeding of certifications of a US Election.

Every cellphone, picture, bus trip for the Trump event and every post made by those individuals at the January 6 should lose their right to vote!

Hawley needs to reconsider!

Cease and desist order was given to Senator Hawley last month and he has yet to comply over copyright infringement laws.

What might be the issue?

A national media photographer took that famous picture of the Senator with his raises fist before he was to vote against President Biden win over Trump. That photo is being sold by Hawley.

17 U.S.C. § 506(a), which provides that "[a]ny person who infringes a copyright willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain" shall be punished as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 2319. Section 2319 provides, in pertinent part, that a 5-year felony shall apply if the offense "consists of the reproduction or distribution, during any 180-day period, of at least 10 copies or phonorecords, of 1 or more copyrighted works, with a retail value of more than $2,500." 18 U.S.C. § 2319(b)(1).

Read the print above!

It's a felony!

NEAR FUTURE

In major conflicts of the past century, when US sends military aid, we get drawn into that war. We all see the destruction. We all feel sympathy for Ukrainians. We all are ticked off at Russia for being the aggressor. We all feel ​the pain at the pump or the heating fuels of our homes.

If you read the tea leafs, you will see we will be in the fight. A fight that become WW3.

When that does develop, Russia, China and Trumps right wing party will find that communism and nazism will be history books. We will always have to defend our nation from extremists, for their influences can cause many to be misled for a dark goal.

I will like to end this post that things will be better, but I feel we are at the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915. It will get worst, before it will get better.
