"Under a plan pushed by the director, Kash Patel, and his deputy, Dan Bongino, the F.B.I. will start welcoming new classes of recruits who will receive less training and no longer be required to have a college degree"

BUT, they require a BA, and don't hire recent college grads either. They require additional experience in other professional fields.

Not anymore.

Good to know Chicago and Baltimore have been fixed.

Are you suggesting it's somehow a bad thing to apply a consistent standard as your pejorative "whataboutism" suggests?

No. It's exactly the same thing. Someone points a finger at your "side", and you reflexively point it back.

Sometimes you have to go back to Ted Kennedy.

It's forcing people to play by the very rules they created.

Pretty much the definition of whattaboutism.

Subtle whataboutism.

Has anyone followed up on the stealth private jet? Or the hand signal guy?

You have an army to protect you from invasion.

Or now, possibly, arrest you.

You have a court system to prosecute criminals.

Or now, possibly, you.

You lived in a home with housing codes making sure its safe.

Probably not anymore.

You eat food that is regulated to make sure it doesn't kill you or make you sick.

Probably not anymore.

Now that's leadership.

that there is no rioting, burning and killings due to Kirk's murder.

Did they list the cause of death a "medical incident?

and deserves a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal

Lewzer said he'll get the Medal of Freedom.

Latest info says range to target was 130 meters.

Lady Gaga's free concert

I don't know... only 2 million people showed up for that.

...it's all good.

That will depend on what penalties Lewzer rains down on Brazil.

which were actually manufacturer's markings

LOL. I was wondering how, or why, someone would "engrave" markings on a cartridge.

how does a jet just "disappear" from radar?

I just looked up the track from that flight and it looks fairly normal. Took off from Provo, got up to 31,000 feet, then landed in Page, AZ. 37 minute flight.

I still have my 22-250 target rifle. Heaviest gun I ever owned

Heavy is right. Mine is a Ruger #1 varmint barrel.

I wonder why he didn't just leave it on the roof? It's not like they weren't going to find it anyway.

It's only money.

but most people aren't lying on a roof shooting at a guy in a tent, over a crowd, while thinking he's prolly about to die in an assassination attempt

True. The shot isn't difficult, but the mental game is certainly a factor. Possibly a psychopath wouldn't be bothered by that stuff?

I use 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Silvertips in a .22-250.

I shoot gophers at 200 yards and I'm just an average shot. It's not difficult if the rifle is set up.

I read somewhere it was a .30-06.

Why do you say unusual?

Because it's not an AR-15 clone, which seems to be the most common rifle of choice these days.

a bolt action rifle with a 4 round magazine.

That's unusual, but does explain the single shot.
