Protecting criminals over witnesses? Where is the outrage?

Starting a new thread here because it shows the very hypocrisy articulated by President Trump during the SOTU. And, as one might expect, it includes NY and AOC. So here we go:

AOC and the terrorist sympathizer from MN are among 44 Democrats sponsoring a bill to protect criminals from deportation. Yup, you're reading this right. And here it is:

Quote:

Criminals would be protected from deportation under bill AOC and other House Democrats back

A document produced by Democrats to promote the bill says: “Convictions … should not lead to deportation.”

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about convictions for double parking. The bill targets felony convictions – serious crimes that send you to prison for years. A press release from Rep., Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., is explicit about this.

Garcia brags that the bill will break the “prison to deportation pipeline.” How does the bill do that? Under current U.S. law, legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if they commit an “aggravated felony” or a “crime of moral turpitude” – that is, a vi1`le, depraved act, like molesting a child.

Under the New Way Forward Act, “crimes of moral turpitude” are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation. And the category of “aggravated felony” gets circumscribed too.

Seriously, read the whole article. You just can't make this stuff up.

Now, contrast that with this: The same state that refuses to cooperate with ICE and whose reckless actions led to the death of a 92 year old woman at the hands of an illegal immigrant whom ICE filed a detainer request; a New York man set to testify against MS-13 was found dead AFTER his identity was disclosed to defendants’ attorneys in pre-trial proceedings.

Singas says prosecutors tried to keep Rodriguez’s identity secret by obtaining a protective order in December 2018.

But last December, ahead of looming changes to New York’s criminal justice system, including reforming the pre-trial discovery phase – during which prosecutors reveal evidence to the defense for preparation – the judge in the case issued a new order.

It allowed “for the disclosure of the protected information to defense counsel,” Newsday reports. The judge’s order, it added, required attorneys for two defendants not to reveal Rodriguez' s name to their clients until the trial’s start date of Jan. 6.

The victim was 36 years old.

Which book to read next?

Oh you need to read One Second After by William R. Forstchen It's a series now called The John Matherson Series which is what the main character's name is.

It is soo spooky but on the edge of your seat good. To me it was anyway. Enough so that I couldn't/didn't want to read the other 2. Left me with high anxiety for about 6 weeks.

A post-apocalyptic thriller of the after effects in the United States after a terrifying terrorist attack using electromagnetic pulse weapons.

"New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.

Months before publication, One Second After has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end."

The John Matherson Series
#1 One Second After
#2 One Year After
#3 The Final Day

Best Long Range Walkie Talkies

I was wanting to see if anyone has a bit of Walkie Talkie knowledge? I am looking for the best "long" range gear out there without a license (HAM). Midlands, Motorolas, etc. I know the distances listed on the packages are line of sight but looking for realistic distances. Hopefully you guys have some experience. Thanks in advance for any help.

Best Long Range Walkie Talkies

RIP Robert Conrad

Loved the Wild, Wild, West. It was like modern times with the gadgets they came up with that were top secret or some villain came up with. I liked Baa Baa Black Sheep also. I remember one where they took their Corsairs up to kill Yamamoto who was flying in to somewhere in their range. Hollywood got that wrong, it was twin engine P-38 Lightnings because they had more range. The story was true but the aircraft was wrong. Lots of movies that way.

RIP Mr. Conrad.

What are your top realistic requests of President Trump?

Curious, if you could have a conversation with President Trump, and he asked your advice on what laws to make or repeal, and what other actions to take before the 2020 election, what items would you tell him to take to aid the nation, improve gun rights, improve his chances to win, etc.? This is realistic stuff he can accomplish, keeping in mind the Democrats control the House now. [Yes, I'm angry at Paul Ryan for wasting 2 golden years with a GOP majority in the House, but that's in the past.]

It can be on any topic, ways you think the nation, world, guns, veterans, military, law enforcement, courts, economy, other rights could be improved. What say you?

Hello from GA

A "No stupid questions" category

Taking this from reddit.

I think it would be great to have a "no stupid questions" section... where benign, embarrassing, or just plain hard to answer questions could be answered without ridicule.

Either for prepping newbies, or seasoned preppers who have something they may not understand.

I'll give an example of my "not stupid" question.

I have read that if you have pneumonia or chest congestion, sitting upright is the best position to be in to cause the mucus to congregate at the low point of the lungs. thus minimizing the effect it has on respiration.

If that is the case- would hanging upside down, like a bat, help the fluid be expelled?

Thanks!

Edit to clarify "there are no stupid questions" , not "no stupid questions allowed".
