@LouisvilleMayor The only “idea” in the list that is constitutional is background checks on all gun sales. The rest are wrong and won’t work.

We are making encouraging progress thanks to our comprehensive public safety efforts. But to fully achieve our goals and deliver the safety our community deserves, we need the authority to act locally. Decisions about how to keep our residents safe should they reflect the needs of our city. That means having the ability to implement common-sense violence prevention measures, including banning assault weapons, requiring background checks for all gun sales, establishing waiting periods for first-time buyers, and prohibiting devices that convert firearms into illegal machine guns. I support Councilman Herndon’s Kids Over Guns resolution and appreciate his continued leadership on this important issue.

Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers. His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill. If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry. “This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.” How? It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities. “You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.” “So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health inspection… inspecting these slaughterhouses.” “As long as you don’t cross state lines, you shouldn’t need the federal government’s involvement in this processing.” “The good news is, I got that in the Farm Bill.” @RepThomasMassie

@TheSurvivalPodc So Thursday will be a live jack? Or is it a short week?

Expert Panel Q&A – Epi-3823 Today on The Survival Podcast the expert council answers your questions on the Iran war, hunting dogs, back up power, technology, gun optics, tax strategy, prep security and more. thesurvivalpodcast.com/experts-3823

@Jollybgood @atrupar I think he believed or was lead to believe that they would not be able to fight back.

@atrupar Any surprise here? The man was under the impression Iran wouldn’t fight back.

Trump attacks "Democrat thugs": "I don't know how people can vote for these people. I see the midterms are close. I don't know what close means, but I don't know how people can vote for them. You take a look -- they want men to play women's sports, they want transgender for everybody. Terrible."

@TimothyImholt He’s prior service?

It is fun to work at a place where the CEO has this on his desk.

@mistressdivy Two reasons: To draw in more technical skilled people - cyber systems, drone ops, etc. To allow prior service with experience from Afghan Iraq Syria etc

Raising the age of enlistment to 42 says there's something that they're not telling the American public about this war.

@LOVEROFTRUTHIRL @mistressdivy The army retirement age is 38 mínimum. Most retire at 42.

@mistressdivy We should have retirement age lowered to 42 instead raising the age of enlistment to 42. Change my mind.

We haven’t cared what the royal family has to say since 1776.

@LibertyCappy Home schooled my daughter when the school would not stop kids from harassing and abusing her. She is doing great in college after graduating early from high school.

What if homeschooling was a lot more manageable than you ever realized?

@TimothyImholt And those friends will insult and make fun of you to your face, but have to be held back if someone says the same thing when you’re not around. I still will take a call from my buddies at any time and have taken vacation to go help them.

Yeah. That kinda sums it up.

@JoeyTweeets Not the first time it has been that high for the Army. It has been 42 for the airforce and navy since the 90’s. Marines are still 38. The reason is to bring in more cyber oriented soldiers. Even with out the age increase they have been meeting their recruit and retention goals

@ShannonJoyRadio The safe and legal way is to not earn income above the standard deduction. No taxable income means no taxes.

I think we really need to organize a tax revolt and strike. There has to be a safe and legal way to do it.

@ChivalryGuild It depends on the pension. The teacher who retires today at best gets 50% of their average monthly (12 month) pay. In my state that will be what they get for the rest of their life with no cost of living increase. So $3,600 a month till they die even if inflation is 25% a year

The retired teacher behind the counter at our local health food store told me his pension clears $5K/month after taxes. Don't know why he felt it necessary to share that info, but public school teachers are doing better than we've been led to believe.

Americans could have a bank account that’s fully backed, zero-fee, and pays 4% interest. 

Instead of the Wall Street Ponzi. But Congress is trying to ban it. Because money talks in Washington, and Wall Street writes very big checks.

@GeromanAT Incorrect. Iran pays 650,000 people who sometimes wear uniforms and occasionally trains with weapons. The U.S. has 60,000 highly trained, experienced combat soldiers. You are comparing high school basket ball division 3 teams to the NBA.

Iran has 650.000 soldiers - what do you think US can do with their perhaps 60.000 in the area? Taking some islands - or a strip of the coast without supply lines - then what? Please use your brains.

@mouvement33 It’s been 42 before. It will be again. It’s always been 42 for the Air Force and the national guard.

You don't do this when six soldiers are killed in battle. You do it when you've lost thousands in a very short period of time.

@RandPaul Still needs Congress to end it. Otherwise it will just be reformed in 2029

Kudos to President Trump for attempting what even Reagan failed to do —eliminate the Federal Dept. of Education! Student loans moving to Treasury, expert says ED shutdown closer | Fox News foxnews.com/media/departme…

They told you they would stop at banning sales. They didn’t. Anyone paying attention knew exactly where this was headed. Rhode Island lawmakers are now pushing beyond restrictions on new purchases and going straight after possession itself. Last year’s law blocked the sale of so-called “assault weapons” but left current owners alone. House bill H8073 was introduced to take the next step, forcing law-abiding owners to give them up or be treated as felons. No grandfathering. No carveouts. Just confiscation. Check the post below and tell Rhode Island legislators: NO GUN CONFISCATION.

Yes!
