ok i will inquire further.

i thought i had never heard of this until i remembered a friend i ran off tried to get me to buy him a weapon{pistol} and he is so mentally ill he has been in a mental institution a couple of times. he kidnapped his mother and made a run to memphis. he got caught in three or four lane traffic and traffic was not moving. so he gets out to look around and a cop a couple of cars behind him told him to get back in the car. he ended up jumping on the roof of the squad car and was dancing i kid you not. he was asking the cop what he was going to do about it. i believe he got dusted up a little bit and spent i think three weeks in the mental ward. he had a black nurse whom he swore was the devil messing with him and he claimed they were trying to make him disappear. and this is his version. i shudder to think what might have happened if i had bought him that pistol. i had to let him go because he was pushing all my triggers. does anyone think this will make a dent in protecting our kids? as far out there as my friend was i could never see him killing kids but then i am not an expert.

When a bipartisan group of 20 senators announced a framework deal for gun-related legislation on Sunday, it said one point of the nine-pronged proposal “cracks down” on people who illegally straw purchase and traffic guns. Gun control groups have long called attention to the impact on gun violence of straw purchases, a term with which many may be unfamiliar. A straw purchase, as defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, involves someone who purchases a gun for someone who is prohibited by law from possessing one or for someone who does not want their name associated with the transaction. Straw purchases are deemed a federal crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Federally licensed firearm dealers are required to perform background checks for those seeking to buy a firearm. Licensed dealers also are required under federal law to maintain records on their gun sales and make them available to law enforcement for inspection. But those background checks and records involve the purchaser of the firearm and not always the ultimate user of the gun. That’s why tougher laws on straw purchases are a priority for gun control groups. State laws punishing straw purchases vary. Seven states have laws that penalize sellers who transfer firearms to traffickers under certain circumstances, according to Giffords, a gun violence advocacy group. A small number of states also penalize the actual buyer in straw purchases. Some other states have looser regulations that prohibit individuals from knowingly encouraging sellers to conduct those illegal firearm transfers, according to the group. Despite the federal prohibition and state-level legislation, many gun control advocates and experts say the illegal transactions still happen regularly. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Urban Health that screened 149 licensed retailers in California found roughly 1 in 5 agreed to participate in a straw purchase of a handgun. Seven years earlier, a study found as many as half of dealers from large U.S. cities expressed a willingness to participate in such a purchase. Even if gun dealers don’t end up following through on the transaction, a survey of a random sample of 1,601 licensed dealers during the summer of 2011 found that more than two-thirds — 67.3 percent — had experienced attempted straw purchases. Everytown for Gun Safety and other gun control groups have called on Congress to strengthen laws governing gun trafficking and straw purchases. The bipartisan group of senators announced on Sunday that it would seek to crack down on those purchases as part of an agreement on a series of gun-related proposals. The agreement follows days of closed-door talks after a string of high-profile mass shootings, including at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y. The statement — signed by 10 Senate Republicans — indicates the legislation has a good chance of avoiding a legislative filibuster,

go away fly. you know damn well what i said.

i will try if you promise to quit kissing trumps ass. how about that? and hey i come on here for fun and to watch you trump supporters make fools of themselves. yes i have senior moments and i have stated this but you want to use it as an excuse to insult me. bring it karen. i have never cried and asked anyone to lay off. and unlike liars like you you will never have enough grace to admit when you are wrong. and you are all the time. and i tell you what when trump straightens up i might ease up on him. the face he stole from a VA charity and you could care less has always stuck in my craw. not to mention the kids trying to survive cancer. and this is fact. he can never start a charity because he steals from everyone as well as the country and you people are stupid enough to encourage him. to me YOU and your enabler buddies are to blame.

do not lecture me dude. you got a problem you tell the mods. the difference between me and your side is if i realize i am wrong i admit when i know ridicule is coming. and how ironic i would have voted for K if he had made it. i am gonna send you a pic for medical advice since most of you righties are experts on behavior like that with a similar name. how many ya want?

dude you take shots all the time so quit acting like you are all holy or something. you were very vocal when trump was running and then in office. now you realize a lot of fake news really was the lying liar trump. have you admitted this yet? you guys were pretty hard core......most of you and now you are left with a limp noodle hanging in your hand..............

i have a special dislike for tennessee now. i am reading SHUG and he mentions where the tigers were on the vols homefield and took a knee and was reciting the lords prayer before the game and the whole vols team ran right through the middle of auburns team while in prayer. super classless.................

i have a serious question? am i mistaken or did i not seen quite a few thumbs up when this article was posted about the movie? i get old and mixed up but i am sure i saw it. so i guess those on the right removed their likes and loves, etc? can anyone verify this?

How Auburn beat Oregon State in Super Regional By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com 4-5 minutes Winning a Super Regional nearly 2,500 miles, two time zones away, and traveling over an hour each way against a powerhouse program is a difficult task accomplished by Auburn’s 4-3 Game 3 victory against Oregon State on Monday at Goss Stadium. Auburn overcame an early exit in the first inning during Game 1 by starter Trace Bright. John Armstrong, Tommy Sheehan, and Carson Skipper combined to give the Tigers 7 1/3 scoreless innings before handing off to Blake Burkhalter, who finished off the 7-5 game one win. Burkhalter allowed a run in the ninth inning on Saturday against Oregon State. He topped the performance with an eight-out save with five strikeouts. Tigers head coach Butch Thompson saw a scenario with one out in the seventh with runners on and holding a one-run lead. “I thought that was the ballgame right there,” Thompson said. “We needed a big moment guy to get us through at that moment, and Blake has been great for us all season. He was incredible tonight.” Defeating Oregon State required three hard-fought contests for Auburn in a hostile environment. Let’s take a look at some defining moments from Monday’s win.

Auburn lost a tough 4-3 contest on Sunday in Game 2. The Tiger bullpen was already overworked from Saturday’s win. Chase Isbell kept Oregon State off the board for 2 1/3 innings after the Beavers scored their fourth run in the sixth inning. If Isbell doesn’t go two innings, it’s possible the Tigers wouldn’t have Carson Skipper or Burkhalter available for Monday’s elimination game. 2. DiChiara had two of the Tigers’ three hits. His two-run home run in the third gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead. “They left one over the plate for me, and I was able to put a good bat on it,” DiChiara said. I wasn’t sure I got all of it. I was excited when I saw that ball keep sailing over the fence. I’m thankful we were able to hold them off.” DiChiara bounced back from a three strikeout night during Saturday’s 4-3 loss. His at-bat in the sixth might’ve been the most important of the season. He drew a leadoff walk that sparked a two-run inning. 3. Bobby Peirce scored Auburn’s fourth run on a bunt by Brody Moore. Peirce’s slide evaded the tag giving Auburn a 4-1 lead. Aggressive baserunning is a hallmark of the Tigers and was essential against a tough Oregon State team. “If we don’t score that fourth run, then we’re not sitting here in the winner’s press conference,” Thompson said. “We needed every inch to beat this team.” 4. Burkhalter came into the game during a challenging situation. Oregon State had scored two runs in the seventh and was looking to take the lead. Burkhalter had five strikeouts while recording the last eight outs. Auburn relied heavily on the bullpen against Oregon State. Carson Skipper got the Tigers out of a jam with two runners on base and no outs in the fifth inning. Skipper kept the Beavers from scoring. Skipper relieved starter Mason Barnett. Skipper earned the win and Burkhalter the save to clinch the series. “When Carson Skipper came in and got those two outs, and when we inserted Burkhalter, those were game-changers,” Thompson said. “We’re able to keep that one-run lead, and Burky got us to the finish line.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.

Note to Omaha: Prepare for a ‘thicc’ glass of ‘SonnyDi’ By Joseph Goodman | jgoodman@al.com 6-7 minutes Auburn had the toughest draw of all the eight teams playing on the road in the super regional round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. No shot, I thought. It was a good run. Oregon State’s strong pitching staff lived up to its excellent reputation, too. Those guys were masterful for three games. Everything was tilted in favor of Oregon State’s hurlers. They had the home crowd. They even had the crisp, unseasonably cool weather. The heat index was over 100 degrees here in Alabama on Monday, but fans were wearing beanies on their heads in Corvallis, Oregon. Auburn was out of its element and it showed in games two and three. By that point, Oregon State pretty much had Auburn figured out. The Tigers were out-hit 17-8 in those games. The only problem for Oregon State was this. They didn’t know what to think of “Thicc King” Sonny Dichiara. Oregon State didn’t respect the best hitter in the country. That cost them. DiChiara’s two-run homer in Game 3 was the difference in Auburn’s 4-3 victory. RELATED: Watch Auburn celebrate its victory against Oregon State RELATED: Watch Sonny DiChiara describe super regional win RELATED: How Auburn upset Oregon State in the super regional RELATED: Rewinding Auburn’s Game 3 victory OSU had all the advantages, but Auburn had DiChiara. The Beavers were either too proud or too cocky to respect that fact. Huge mistake, and now Auburn is going to the College Baseball World Series on the bat of SonnyDi and a bullpen made of nails. Oregon State chose to pitch to the “Thicc King” throughout the best-of-three series. Oregon State chose poorly. After two homers against the Beavers, Dichiara has six home runs in his last eight games. He’s Auburn’s Babe Ruth at this point in the fairytale, and DiChiara is going to be the brightest star in Omaha. Book that. If Auburn somehow wins it all, Omaha will permanently name a milkshake “SonnyDi” after Auburn’s slugger. Milkshakes are the big thing at the College Baseball World Series. It’s a great tradition. If you’re going to Omaha, then I recommend drinking no fewer than two milkshakes a day. Rain delays require milkshakes, too, so the potential is there for milkshakes at breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the very least, Auburn fans need to drink a milkshake for every home run off the bat of DiChiara. Auburn is joined by three teams from the SEC West in the College Baseball World Series. The others are Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M. Ole Miss advanced against Southern Miss. Arkansas defeated North Carolina with a dramatic walk-off victory. Texas A&M is in the College Baseball World Series after knocking off Louisville. Future SEC teams Texas and Oklahoma are also in the field. Not going to Omaha: Tennessee. The Vols, who tempted the baseball gods all season with their swaggering bravado, were upset by Notre Dame. Tennessee was the top-ranked team in the country, but baseball has a way of punishing teams like that. It rewards the mentally tough more often than it does the outwardly obnoxious. It’s not that Notre Dame was a better team than Tennessee. It’s just that Tennessee thought it was bigger than the game. That’s why I cringed a little when the SEC social media team referred to Omaha as “Hoover West” on Monday night. Easy there, SEC. Don’t put a curse on a good thing. The brackets for the College Baseball World Series go like this. In bracket one it’s Texas, Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. In bracket two, Auburn, Arkansas and Ole Miss are joined by Stanford, the only Pac-12 team in the field. It’s a double-elimination tournament followed by a best-of-three championship series. The College Baseball World Series is heaven for lovers of long days at the ballpark. Auburn begins the eight-team tournament against Ole Miss at 6 p.m. on Saturday. This is Auburn’s sixth trip to the College Baseball World Series, but the Tigers have never won it. Maybe this team of underdogs is the group to do it. “We’re going to play to the best of our ability and live it up,” DiChiara said. It’s easy to root for DiChiara and these Auburn Tigers. They’re humble guys, and that work-a-day mentality is why they’re going to Omaha and a team like Tennessee is not. Baseball always humbles you. That’s the Golden Rule of this game again and again and again. Auburn understood it was going to take a touch of humility to take down mighty Oregon State. When the shift was on against DiChiara in Game 3, he smartly hit it where they weren’t and took his base. When a chance for a safety squeeze presented itself earlier in the game, Auburn coach Butch Thompson didn’t hesitate in making the right call. Oregon State didn’t want to back down for anyone, especially DiChiara. Bad call. DiChiara humbled the Beavs. DiChiara played baseball for Hoover High and then Samford. He loves Birmingham, and he’s happy to be representing so many people on the big stage. He’s hitting .392 after the super regional and has 22 home runs. DiChiara leads the country in walks with 68, and on-base percentage at .560. His slugging percentage is a monstrous .809. Auburn can only hope that teams in Omaha make the same mistake as Oregon State and underestimate DiChiara’s talent. This is Auburn’s second trip to the College Baseball World Series in three years, but no one was expecting it outside of the Tigers’ dugout. DiChiara played baseball at Samford for three seasons before transferring to Auburn. The Tigers were picked last in the SEC West this preseason, and it’s not hard to figure out why they’ve outperformed expectations. DiChiara’s bat has carried the team this postseason. How does it feel to be in this position? “It’s indescribable,” DiChiara said. “It’s life-changing for sure.” Joseph Goodman is a columnist for the Alabama Media Group, and author of “We Want Bama: A season of hope and the making of Nick Saban’s ‘ultimate team’”.

Ex-Trump AG Bill Barr shown laughing at Dinesh D’Souza documentary purporting to prove voter fraud Josh Marcus 4-5 minutes Former Attorney General William Barr laughed out loud during testimony played before the 6 January insurrection hearings on Monday at the mentioned of 2000 Mules, a debunked election conspiracy documentary embraced by his former boss Donald Trump. "My opinion then and my opinion now is that the election was not stolen by fraud," Mr Barr said. "And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the 2000 Mules movie." The former Trump official called the movie, by conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, “singularly unimpressive” and accused it of making “indefensible” claims. The film, which has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers, claims that numerous people were illegally paid in highly contested states like Georgia and Arizona to collect and fraudulently deposit Democratic votes. The documentary does not have any concrete proof that this actually occurred, beside a single unnamed whistleblower from Arizona claiming she saw what she “assumed” were payoffs taking place. The film also makes specious use of cellphone geolocation data, which it claims shows ballot “mules” returning again and again to ballot drop locations. Experts say such cell tower data is imprecise, and that there are many reasons why someone in a dense metro area like Atlanta or Philadelphia might pass by a ballot drop location for reasons totally unrelated to an election. “You could use cellular evidence to say this person was in that area, but to say they were at the ballot box, you’re stretching it a lot,” Aaron Striegel, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, told The Associated Press. “There’s always a pretty healthy amount of uncertainty that comes with this.” The documentarian defended his film on Monday on Twitter. “Anyone who knows anything about geotracking—I don’t mean you—can see what an ignoramus Barr is on the topic,” Mr D’Souza, who himself pleaded guilty to illegal election contributions in 2014 before being pardoned by Trump, said after Mr Barr’s testimony. “A fat guy laughing doesn’t quite substitute for expertise on this topic!” Mr Barr has been one of the few high-level members of the Trump administration to criticise the former president and affirm that the 2020 presidential election was conducted legitimately. In December of that year, Mr Barr told the AP, “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” Following the 6 January riots at the Capitol, the former attorney general argued, “the President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters," adding that Mr Trump was “orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress.” In his March 2022 memoir, One Damn Thing After Another, Mr Barr was even more pointed. “The fact is, we have looked at the major claims your people are making, and they are bulls***,” he recalls of one exchange, adding that he once told Mr Trump, “I’ve told you that the fraud claims are not supported. … But your legal team continues to shovel this s*** out to the American people. And it is wrong.” Beyond just featuring sharp testimony from Trump former associates, the 6 January hearings could be a prelude to unprecedented criminal charges against President Trump, the first for a former president in US history. "Our entire investigation is a referral of crimes both to the Department of Justice and to the American people because this is a massive assault on our — on the machinery of American democracy," Maryland congressman Jamie Raskin told CNN on Sunday.

i am being nice here because the rules on the serious side are clear. that is why 99% of my posts are on the smack board. i imagine titan will let him know.

did they ever release a list?

whataboutism is against the rules goa

Bill Barr Outright Cackles at Dinesh D’Souza’s Nutty ‘2000 Mules’ Movie Zachary Petrizzo Mon, June 13, 2022 at 12:49 PM·3 min read In this article: William Barr 77th and 85th United States Attorney General Donald Trump 45th President of the United States CNN Former Attorney General William Barr could barely hold back his laughter at the mere mention of election-denying MAGA pundit Dinesh D’Souza’s fact-averse 2000 Mules quasi-documentary. In videotaped testimony aired during Monday morning’s Jan. 6 House committee hearings, Barr told lawmakers about his efforts to convince former President Donald Trump that his voter-fraud claims were bogus, definitively stating, “My opinion then and now is that the election was not stolen by fraud. And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that,” before pausing and adding, “including the 2,000 Mules movie.” Barr then let out a hearty chuckle. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) jumped in to ask the former attorney general: “Maybe you can assess that 2000 Mules since people are talking about that?” “Just, in a nutshell, you know, the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] was unimpressed with it, and I was similarly unimpressed with it,” said the former top DOJ official. “I was holding my fire on that to see what the photographic evidence was. If they have a lot of photographs of the same person dumping a lot of ballots in different boxes, you know that’s hard to explain.” Dinesh D’Souza’s Foul New Movie Is Driving Conservatives Crazy Barr went on to explain that the film’s key assertion about geotagged cell phone data proving voter fraud is “singularly unimpressive.” He explained: “Basically, if you take two million cell phones and figure out where they are physically in a big city like Atlanta or wherever, just by definition, you will find many hundreds of them have passed by and spent time in the vicinity of these [voting drop] boxes and the premise that, you know, if you go by five boxes or whatever it was, that’s a mule is just indefensible.” He concluded that the film “didn’t establish widespread illegal harvesting,” before pivoting back to noting how, following the 2020 election, Trump “wasn’t listening to my advice.” D’Souza didn’t respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment, but he did tweet that Barr’s testimony displayed a “level of ignorance” that is “truly stunning.” The pro-Trump filmmaker fumed, “He doesn’t seem to understand the very concept of geotracking.” Following the 2020 election, Barr quickly became a foe of the hardcore MAGA set due to his lack of appetite for chasing down Trump’s every whim on baseless voter-fraud allegations. The fallout was so swift, that longtime Republican operative and informal Trump adviser Roger Stone in December 2020 claimed Barr was “block[ing] for the deep state.” D’Souza’s film, meanwhile, has been thoroughly shredded and debunked by news outlets and fact-checkers. In fact, the film’s baseless claims are so toxic that even some of right-wing media’s biggest players, including Fox News host Tucker Carlson and The Daily Wire boss Ben Shapiro, have either given it the silent treatment or outright criticized it. In turn, D’Souza appeared to nuke his relationships with Fox and Newsmax by publicly raging against them for not giving his movie any significant airtime. Read more at The Daily Beast. Got a tip?

'Anger and hatred' have been building in Idaho among 'transplants' itching to fight in culture wars, lawmaker says after white nationalists arrested near Pride event Jake Epstein Mon, June 13, 2022 at 3:54 PM Police officers guard a group of men, who police say are among 31 arrested for conspiracy to riot and are affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front, after they were found in the rear of a U Haul van in the vicinity of a North Idaho Pride Alliance LGBTQ+ event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, U.S. June 11, 2022 in this still image obtained from a social media video.North Country Off Grid/Youtube/via REUTERS Dozens of white nationalists were arrested near a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Saturday. A city council member told Insider that the arrests come after years of rising tensions. He said "transplants" from other states have arrived in Idaho, eager to fight in culture wars. A lawmaker in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, said his community had seen tensions building beneath the surface leading up to Saturday, when dozens of white nationalists were arrested near the city's Pride event. Police arrested 31 members of the extremist Patriot Front group on Saturday after a concerned citizen reported seeing the masked men loading riot gear into a U-Haul near a Pride event in northwest Idaho. Coeur d'Alene City Council member Dan Gookin told Insider on Monday that the weekend's Pride event "became a focus" for rising "anger and hatred" fueled by people's desire to engage in so-called culture wars — debates surrounding topics like LGBTQ rights, COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and how race is taught in schools. Gookin said "transplants" who arrived in historically conservative Idaho from left-leaning states in recent years have been eager to air out grievances that they previously couldn't back in more progressive states. "They feel they have to come here and fight those battles," Gookin said. "It's been building — it really has." Gookin said the recent trend has created a "real ugly mood" in the area, which has seen "an embarrassing shift to the hard right in the past two years." He said city council meetings have featured angry citizens who shout disruptive and threatening remarks, adding that it's a tone "set by the local Republican party" and "some local churches," which are "really lathering people up and getting them to be on edge — spreading a lot of fear and hate." Gookin, a moderate who considers himself "fiscally conservative" and "socially liberal," said a majority of those who are upset don't end up acting on their anger or rhetoric, and the primary concern for law enforcement is monitoring the people or groups who will actually "push it" further. Dan English, another Coeur d'Alene city council member, told Insider that the local culture-war discourse has escalated in the last few years — providing a "fertile ground" for possible outside agitation. Most of the 31 individuals arrested on Saturday are from outside Idaho and hail from 13 states, local media site KREM2 reported. It's not immediately clear what local ties — if any — the individuals may have to Coeur d'Alene. But English said he believes "they have to feel like somebody here is kind of beckoning them." "I do believe they have a sympathetic local connection of at least some folks that are very much encouraging the mayhem," English said. "They have similar values and have very open arms to them." Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said in a press conference over the weekend that the 31 individuals arrested "had shields, shin guards, and other riot gear with them, including at least one smoke grenade." All of the men were charged with a misdemeanor count of conspiracy to riot. White told reporters on Monday that since the arrests, his department has fielded many anonymous calls with death threats aimed at police officers. Read the original article on Insider

dude trump was on world news stating for a fact he made up the birther crap. i saw it. so he either did it or he is lying again. and i did not say he invented it when we had this discussion before i told you straight up he made it up to hurt obama. i see you want to call obamas mom a whore which is low class but i expect that crap out of trump folks. you try to lie or twist posts so much i do not know why i bother reading your crap. and i beg to differ. trump was always talking violence and at most of his little speeches he gave around the country. and you never call a racist with intent to harm someone a good person. they have been emboldened by trumps crap. hell even a few on the right are beginning to realize it as well. if trump is not racist why did he refuse to rent to folks of color? why did he have known racists on his staff? you are a damn idiot and you can try and spend it anyway you want but it is a bad look. i was right way back and i am right now. but maybe if he goes to prison you guys can be pen pals? lol

where is the fake news crap from the trump folks? that is all we heard over and over and you guys just hate trump. lol trump bent his followers over the trunk of the car and let em have it. i just hope jj does not snap. he still says the election was stolen along with many of the other usual suspects on here but it would appear with EVERYONE ratting trump out. HEY TRUMPERS you guys remember i told yall from the very beginning he was a crook and you guys were getting conned big time.yall gave me hell over and over and over. so trumpers how does it feel to vote for a man who tried to destroy the constitution? and secondly how much money have you guys donated to his save the election fund of which he stole most of the money and did other things with it? any man that ill steal from the va and a childrens cancer charity is a total piece of trash. you guys did not care you just kept ignoring what was in front of you hollering fake news. lol lock him up! lock him up! lock him up!
