One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.
Medicare Disadvantage 0
Over at Delaware Liberal, retired Delaware State Representative John Kowalko explains in detail why Medicare Part C, also called “Medicare Advantage,” is a con and a scam less desirable alternative than traditional Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B, plus a “stopgap” policy).

Furrfu.
“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

The Hunter Becomes the Hunter 0
Hunter Biden is starting fight back in court. Here’s a bit from the report at Above the Law:
“That outside pressure culminated in Special Counsel Weiss’s then changing course and bringing this Indictment on September 14 against Mr. Biden, charging three felony counts for the same gun and same facts that just a few months prior Mr. Weiss had agreed to divert under a pre-trial diversion agreement,” his lawyer Abbe Lowell wrote.
I have no doubt that if Hunter’s last name were, just to pick something out thin air, Smith or Jones, the not-much-of-a-burger case against him would have never gotten as far as it has.
