RECCE ROOM

There is good news for Kristen here: 1. Background checks are already the law.  Now, there are no background checks mandated on a private transaction face-to-face. That would be unenforceable. Also, no background check must be passed prior to a thief stealing a gun. That, too, would be impossible to enforce. And the majority of "gun-crimes" are committed by persons who illegally obtained (i.e. - STOLE) the gun.  2. Women already have full reproductive rights.  Presuming a woman is capable of having a child, no law in the US prevents her from having one. Presuming a woman does not want to have a child, she has many methods of birth control from which to choose, including abstinence. Now, because the SCOTUS decision in Dobbs v Jackson, each state controls whether and to what extent abortion - the killing of an unborn child - is legal.

Look for covers, not expecting anything, but I'm always up for a good cover of a song.  And what do I find? Darius Rucker of all people not only covered this song, but also   made a video . Say all you want about some of the performers he chose to do the video with. The cover was excellent.  And that reminds me of the time I met Darius Rucker, when delivering a rental car to his road manager at Lowe's Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville back in 2005.  He was pleasant to speak with and seemed genuinely impressed that I: 1.

This past weekend, #FakeNews reports that there was a " White Supremacist March on the Capitol ." There was a problem - it did not pass any sort of smell test. How, you say? There were no Left-Wing counter-protestors.  Where was the police presence? Why weren't members of this group arrested? Where were the fat guys? So, since it was clearly a setup and at least 90% of the "members" of "Patriot Front" were either Feds or paid actors, here are some memes to celebrate the illusion:
