    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    Every time there is a shooting, it's good for them who what to stomp the stump for gun control. (my Autocorrect really wants to change "gun" to "fun," and wouldn't that read funny). If you eliminate the "weapon of choice" for mass shootings, simply because it can fire a lot of bullets in a...

    If you haven't seen it, this 8th grader delivers an epic graduation speech in the meme of Trump, Obama, Cruz, Clinton and Sanders. Every one of them is spot on.

    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    I think a nutcase for sure. That's probably the foundation. But I think he led a double life, trying to appear to his family and Muslim friends as a Muslim, at least a moderate one, while at the same time was very, very gay but having to hide it, desperately wanting to come out but was deeply...

    There are a million ways to do it right. And nearly all of them involve cornmeal. :D Use fine, white cornmeal if you can find it. Sadly, fine white cornmeal is not always easy to find outside the South. In the absence of fine, white cornmeal, use the regular stuff with a little flour. Unless it...

    Who is actively recruiting cargo vans? Which carriers do you know who can dictate rates to the customer?

    Forgive me for trying to address your questions instead of just remaining silent and leaving you in the dark as to why your posts were moderated. I didn't analyze a thing about who asked the questions. I don't know a thing about you. I can only go by what is posted, and I directly addressed...

    I think it's an understandable error, which is why I addressed it here. I realize you weren't attempting to characterize expediting as a whole, but in the context of your questions, that's how it appeared. The questions you asked, and the answers to those questions, applied mainly to cargo van...

    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    Looks like the media has bought it. And the feds, of course, since they really want this to be Islamic-related terrorism, anyway. It's a masterful, albeit deranged, sleight of hand misdirection. "Concentrate on this, not that." The shooter rarely went to mosque, according to his imam. He...

    Apparently, SwervPro was hard at work in the states which used electronic voting. It's not a study, it's a preliminary paper that still must go through more extensive peer review, but the results are significant and startling. States that used paper balloting show a much closer race between...

    I can't say for sure, since I didn't moderate your posts, but I would guess it's what you said, and the fact that your negative criticism of the Expo and of expediting of general came in a thread that was designed to positively promote the Expo. They characterized expediting as a whole from the...

    Rough week in Orlando

    I just checked.The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has kept records of alligator bites dating back to 1948. There have been 383 alligator bites on people in unprovoked encounters. Of the 383 total incidents, 23 of those were fatal, with 16 of those deaths being children aged 2...

    Rough week in Orlando

    I used to live in Ft Lauderdale and I witnessed my next door neighbor's poodle get snatched up by a gator from the canal that ran along our back yards, and several times I've seen gators grab birds (ducks, herons, egrets) from the water's edge. But I've actually never heard of a kid being taken...

    'Worst Mass Shooting in US History, Carried Out in a Gay Nightclub, During Gay Pride Month, by a Gay Man." There's a headline we'll never see in the news media.

    You had an extra / within the ending quote brackets, which resulted in the software wrapping the entire thing in quote brackets.

    I got infested once after being parked in Alabama for 3 days in the same spot. Turns out the right front tire was parked inches from the nest entrance. But it wasn't really that bad, and it was just regular ol' ants like you're see in Michigan in your kitchen when they smell candy on the...

    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    I think it's going to be difficult to drill down to the bedrock of this incident, because we're already seeing highly biased, deliberately slanted, reporting even in the mainstream media. The crafted narrative depends upon your agenda rather than the facts. NPR had to walk back "the worst mass...

    I've got a really, really lot of cast iron cookware. It's borderline ridiculous. I've got 3 skillets (8", 10" 12") and two large pots (5 qt and 8 qt, that you'd hang above the fireplace or set into the coals) that I got from my grandmother, who got them from her mother. They're all at least 100...
