Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Radical VA Secretary Doug Collins is again attacking veterans benefits in extreme and unprecedented ways.

And the DAV, VFW and most other leading veterans organizations are alarmed and pushing back.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Our political opponents also literally control and make money off the so-called tool, especially when people use it. Maybe that’s a good reason not to use it.
They don’t, but that’s neither here nor there as to whether, right now, you should categorically refuse to use a tool your opponents are eagerly using.

The same reason other voter ID requirements aren’t, (they are, actually, but this is something the Roberts Court betrayed the American people on early.)
It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

up until the (in retrospec) incredibly stupid decision to phase out nuclear power, I was under the impression that a German nuclear deterrent would have been a comparatively turnkey operation, now I’m not sure.
Look let's be clear whose fault this is, I can't blame Germany or France in the least for having this conversations, etc etc. All true.
But the fact remains: GERMAN NUKES?!

No clue how I pulled Boo Radley out of my ass since I read the book nearly 30 years ago.
The 1960s thing probably threw people because the setting feels 50s or older (fitting for a 1960 publication).

The only Republican challenging Dem Sen. Ben Ray Lujan is disqualified by New Mexico SoS. The ABQ Journal says this would leave the GOP without a Senate candidate for the first time in "modern history," and just six years after Lujan won by only 6 points. www.abqjournal.com/news/four-ne...

The Pentagon has long been developing anti-drone weapons meant for use in war zones where they can control air traffic. But the DoD hasn’t yet figured out how to safely deploy them within crowded civilian skies. That didn’t stop them loaning some out to CBP to shoot off over Texas.
