Another aspect of stop and frisk ...

@#29 ... So, facts are now racist? ...

That depends upon how and why they may be presented.

@#28 ... Can't you read you askhole goof? I already give you solutions how to solve it in #25. I am done with you. ...

Yes, I can read.

And my reading tells me that your current alias seems to want to attack the problem, and not solve the cause of that problem.

From your current alias' #25, which it seems to be so proud of ...

... Step 1 would be to actually enforce the law in deep blue -------- cities. Stop and Frisk in NYC worked wonders. Second would be locking up gun violence offenders for way longer sentences so they are not able to re-offend. 3-strike laws had a huge positive influence in making the cities safe. Third, we could enforce the border to finally tackle our drug problem and the violence that goes with it. Forth, we could turn back 60 years of Democrat policies which encouraged black women to have kids without a father around to raise the kid. So, those are some normal solutions that don't involve stripping the rights away from law-abiding people. ...

All that seems to be attacking the symptom (a symptom that seems to have been discerned in a politically racist view, but I digress).

So, I will ask once again ...

How does your current alias propose to resolve the problems it cites?

For starters...

... Stop and Frisk in NYC worked wonders. ...

@#34 ... If the "facts" are coming from Klansman, racism is the intent ...

Based upon this thread, that does seem to be the case.

apologies for the double post.

please delete this one.

thx.

... The chief of the US Space Force has warned that China is putting military capabilities into space at a "mind-boggling" pace, significantly increasing the risk of warfare in orbit.

"The number of different categories of space weapons that [China has] created and...the speed with which they're doing it is very threatening," said General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations at the US military's recently created force tasked with protecting American interests in space.

Saltzman spoke during a tour of Europe to raise awareness about the potential for conflict in space with powers including China and Russia and the need to cooperate with European allies to improve deterrence capabilities.

"One of the reasons you have a space force in the US now is in recognition of the last 20 years, [Russia and China] have developed and demonstrated the ability to conduct war fighting in space," he said. The Space Force was established in 2019 by then-president Donald Trump, who is vying for re-election next week.

The US military has long been using space-based assets for communications and missile targeting. For China, space has become an increasingly crucial domain in its quest to put one of the US military's traditional strengths at risk. ...

... The three national flags overlap on a map on the wall, which explains that Fangchuan in China's north-east corner is a unique place for that reason.

"I feel very proud to be standing here ... with Russia on my left and North Korea on my right," declares one woman on a trip with her co-workers. "There are no borders among the people."

That might be overly optimistic. Like the sliver of sandwiched Chinese territory she has travelled to see, Beijing too is caught between its sanctioned neighbours.

Fears over the budding alliance between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have peaked in recent weeks, with reports of North Korea deploying thousands of troops to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

And that was before Pyongyang fired a banned intercontinental missile on Thursday, on the longest flight recorded yet " after turning up the rhetoric against Seoul for weeks.

"China seeks a relationship with a reasonable, high level of control over North Korea," says Christopher Green, an analyst from the International Crisis Group. "And North Korea's relationship with Russia threatens to undermine that."

If Chinese leader Xi Jinping is unable shape the Putin-Kim alliance to suit his interests, China may well remain stuck in the middle as western anger and anxiety grows. ...

@#6 ... A side story ....

Why I said it is a side story ...

Yeah, after you read all that ...

One of the letters I received from a soldier in Vietnam highlighted the Animals tune he appreciated ...

&^nbsp

@#2 ... I have some Greatest Hits albums ...

yeah, as do I.

@#2 ... The Animals Resppective, ...

A side story ...

Back in the day of vinyl and reel-to-reel tape recorders ... (I'm talking mid- to late-1960's)

I replied to an article in the local newspaper --- send music tapes to the troops in Vietnam.

So I did. At the time, i was in my mid- late-teens. So with my parents' approval ...

I sent multiple 7-inch reels of music to the address provided.

Six hours of the local radio station (WABC-AM, sometimes WMCA-AM) on a reel of tape.

The thank-you letters I got back from the soldiers who listened to those tapes were nothing short of inspiring for me, as a teen.

Wow. My only regret at this point is that I did not save those letters. They gave me hope and a fixity of purpose.

I even sent one of the soldiers $100 (with parent's OK, of course, it was their check) to buy a new Sony tape deck for me.

A couple weeks later, the tape deck arrived on the door step.

I still know that soldier's name, and google shows me that he is still serving the Country.

... Democratic voters in Fresno with signs in their front yard supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz received a letter on Oct. 29 that states their homes will be used as a "sanctuary residence" for undocumented migrants.

"Somebody drove around our neighborhood, jotted down all of the street addresses that had Harris signs in their yards and sent them this letter," said Carole Laval, a registered Democrat in Fresno who received the letter. ...

@#5 ... He ----- his pants around microphones. You do the ------- math ...

I would not yet go so far as to agree he exudes fecal matter into his pants.

But there does seem to be evidence of him contributing to the methane problem as he stands at a dais delivering his comments. Now those, I'll say, noises seem to be attributed to fmr Pres Ttrump also soiling his pants.

I remain to be convinced of that conclusion.

(and, honestly, I'd really rather not have to go into that discussion ...)

Yeah, a reggae Led Zeppelin cover band, with an Elvis impersonator as the lead singer. What could possibly go wrong?

For starters, the tunes seem to be pretty good.

Different, yes.

But good ...

@#5 .. to to stand up to this piece of trash. ...

To which particular piece of trash are you referring to for this election cycle?

(so many to choose from, please be more specific)

@#2

I don't see that stated explicitly.

@#3 ... Author proudly claims ...

Yeah, it is an OpEd.

Those OpEds are the only "facts" that the BellRinger alias seems to be able to surface to support its views.

@#121 ... Trump wouldn't dare call Putin a "war hawk". ...

My guess would be that fmr Pres Trump has recently gestured how he would interact with Pres Putin.

I mean, Pres Putin looks quite satisfied, and fmr Pres Trump looks exhausted...

@#25 ... I said we had a culture problem from my very first post moron.

The very first post of your current alias, #7, says...

... Here is the reality, the per capita murder rate for white Americans (and by that I mean WHITE and not WHITE MEXICAN) is on par with Europe. So, do we have a gun problem or of a culture problem? ...

So, even in the first post of your current alias, you seem to be bring race into the conversation.

Why?

I'll ask again , as I said in #23 ...

Why do we have a racial/cultural problem?

It is easy to highlight a problem.

Symptoms are obvious. Solutions, more difficult.

So, how does your current alias propose we resolve that racial/cultural problem?

Yeah, this may leave a mark...

@#4 ... blasters ...

OK, not on topic for this thread, but another tune by the Blasters ...

@#20 ... Because as the data clearly points out, we have a racial/cultural problem. ...

Thank-you for admitting that.

And, now can we get back to the question I have been intimating? ...

Why do we have a racial/cultural problem?

It is easy to highlight a problem.

Symptoms are obvious. Solutions, more difficult.

So, how does your current alias propose we resolve that racial/cultural problem?

What should we do differently to find a solution to the racial/cultural problem your current alias highlights?

@#18 .. Because you are lazy and stupid, ...

OK, I ask, "Why does the focus of your outrage seem to be on black vs white data?"

And the reply is a dodge.

So I'll ask again...

"Why does the focus of your outrage seem to be on black vs white data?

The question is not about the ad hominem attack of whether I am lazy and stupid.

The question is about why your current alias seems to focus upon that topic, i.e., black vs white data.

@#16 ... Provide the data I requested ...

So, your current alias has nothing in response to the simple question I asked.

Good to know.
