LOL! You CAN get a concealed carry permit if you LIVE in DC. But if you live in Maryland...forget it, and even if you have one, no good in DC. If you have a Virginia CCW permit, it isn't valid in DC. So....you ARE at risk in DC, which is why I don't go there any more. In the middle 1960s DC was safe enough for my brother and I to travel from N. Va. suburbs to DC to spend Saturdays at the museums on the mall, then find our way home by ourselves. Middle school to Jr high level . Suicide these days. I last visited the Mall and museums about 12 or 15 years ago, probably will never go again unless DC recognizes my CCW permit - even then, the museums won't let you take in a pocket knife, so certainly no chance for your handgun. Enjoy the suck, another Dem run violent hellhole city.

Ah, the poor guy was just trying to feed his family. Anyway, the reason he did it in the first place is the legacy of slavery. If he would have been given reparations, the staffer would still have her car.

I'm sure in similar circumstances most of us would have given up the stuff. It didnt sound like she had much of a chance. Even so, it would be nice to have the right and means to fight back if the opportunity arose. Oops. I forgot. DC doesn't recognize American rights. Glad I live in a free state.

Since DC is a "gun controlled" area and the victim is a Republican, would it surprise anyone that it was a Capitol Police officer who did the crime? It seems they get away with murder...Michael Leroy Byrd, ring a bell?

I went to Liberty Island in New York. What a waste of time. First I walked what felt like a mile to get to the wharf. I had a pocket knife which is use regularly as a tool and to clean my nails I left it at the desk because at 80 I wasn't walking all the way back to my car, then we got to the island and found you need a reservation to go into the base of the statue, and a special reservation to go into the statue. we could have seen as much from Manhattan as we saw on the island.

A report from The Spokesman-Review unveiled the releases - showing how from 2021 to September 2023, judges in Spokane, Washington, have released 665 people accused of violent crimes. Offenses ranged from rape, molesting children, making death threats, assaults, and vehicular homicide, the report revealed - but like ex-Spokane officer Nathan Nash, 39, all thought to be responsible were released as they awaited trial.

The Supreme Court Could Decide The Future
Of Child Sex Change Bans

As multiple federal courts have issued various rulings on the legality of child sex bans, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the Supreme Court is likely to take up the issue. In Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky, federal courts have upheld child sex change bans, while bans in other states, such as Arkansas, have been struck down. The arguments against the bans are often derived from the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment, but those arguments aren’t likely to survive on the Supreme Court level, where challenges to the bans are likely headed, legal experts told the DCNF.

MSNBC may have benched its al-Jazeera veterans as hosts, but they left Rev. Al Sharpton, whose inflammatory remarks against "white interloper" Jews live in New York infamy. On Saturday's Politics Nation, Sharpton brought on fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow to promote her book Prequel, which draws a strong line between American Nazi sympathizers in the World War II period and Trump supporters, especially the election-denying rioters. The liberal book reviewers at Kirkus touted the thesis: “America beat fascism once. Maddow’s timely study of enemies on the homefront urges that we can do so again.” But Maddow played coy on Saturday when the analogy was Trump and Hitler.

A leaked audio recording is causing trouble for Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee after it showed her viciously verbally abusing a staffer. Lee, who is currently running to become the Mayor of Houston, one of America's largest cities, is heard on the recording berating the staffer over what sounds like a calendar issue.

According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech. That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.” Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly? Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control. Fools, all. Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.
