We know he’s not all there. Maybe he thought it was a grandchild. Maybe he’s just nuts.

Finally! A ranking of states based on important things like diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and not silly things like how many people are choosing to live there. Take that, red states!

Montana State Library withdraws from national library group over president's 'Marxist lesbian' comment
The Montana State Library Commission voted Tuesday to leave the American Library Association, the oldest and largest library association in the world, because the ALA’s president described herself as a “Marxist lesbian” in a social media post last year.
A self declared Marxist is just as bad as a self declared Nazi.

How does that make them a Nazi if they don't want to support a person who self identifies as a Marxist?

Lighten up Francis. I’m not calling the Montuckians Nazis. I disagree with the lefts attempts to normalize socialism and Marxism to the point that people think it’s okay to identify as a Marxist. It shouldn’t be. Marxists are just as loathsome as Nazis.

Whaaa! Any ranking that isn’t in line with my personal interests and favorite freedoms is garbage! The interests and favorite freedoms of other people shouldn’t be considered.

BDKKKaren, tell us how you really feel.

So the #2 freedom we have, according to the FF, 2nd to only 1A, shouldn’t be included…

I’m not to worried about quartering soldiers but I feel that the other 8 rights in the Bill of Rights are pretty damn important.

I thought when I mentioning 1A and 2A, that ‘FF’ would be an obvious abbreviation for the Founding Fathers. Guess next time I’ll have to spell it out for you.. :roll:

Baloney. WA is one of 10 states that have banned certain MSRs (for you libs those are the black and scary looking guns that you like to call assault weapons). At least you’re not one of the commie states that has banned magazines that the libs think hold too many rounnds, or one of the handful of ‘May Issue’ states remaining after Bruen.

Longtime Democratic lawmaker turned activist defects to Republican Party
"I have been a lifelong Democrat — my family, my parents. But that's over. That's finished," said Hikind. "I have decided to register as a Republican. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized … that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party, and I've had enough."
Unfortunately, this is true of both major parties.

No to digital ID, because government (at any level) cannot be trusted with this. The right and left should be united against this, albeit coming at the issue from different sides..
…The fundamental flaw in digital ID systems like Colorado's is that they are centralized. In order to work, citizens must trust the government to protect their data from malevolent actors and from the state itself, despite the fact that government agencies have not been good stewards of citizen data.

When implementing digital ID systems, many states claim they will respect the privacy and civil liberties of their citizens, essentially promising that they will not use their newfound power for evil. But far better than Google's longtime motto "Don't be evil," is the idea of "Can't be evil." It's easier to trust state actors to respect our privacy when they lack the ability to violate our privacy….
