Re: Next banking crisis is already well underway

At 14:35 Eastern the Dow is down an even 1,000 (abt. 2.5%). NASDAQ down 607 (abt. 3.6%). Gold is up about $37 on the day. The dems and the media will blame Trump. Edited to add : The S&P is currently down 3.3%. At a "Level 1" drop of 7% trading is paused for 15 minutes. If it gets to--...

Re: Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret's guide to Urban Survival

I remembered seeing a long YouTube interview with Clay Martin shortly after the book came out. And I remembered "long" correctly: an hour and a half. But I'm gonna go back and listen to some of it and probably buy the book. Thanks for the tip.

Re: TX:The mean streets of Houston - There is a new Sheriff in town

I don't envy anyone stepping into that job. The HPD is understaffed and doesn't have the budget to make a significant dent in that. Worse, all indications are that Harris County will, this November, get a DA that's even more "progressively" left than Kim Ogg, the DA since 2017. It's a diff...

Re: Why did the Secret Service anti sniper wait until the sniper fired to kill him? Needed permission?Rules of engagemen

He also stated emphatically that the sniper should have used suppressive fire to disrupt the shooter in the 3 second delay from the initial volley & the final 5 shots. Suppressive fire isnt appropriate for this setting, and it's WAY different than delivering precision fire to shut down the thre...

Some interesting insights into what Guns and Gear the Secret Service was using: Secret Service Guns And Gear at the Trump Assassination Attempt I had been scratching my head to wonder what kind of rifles they were.

Re: Why did the Secret Service anti sniper wait until the sniper fired to kill him? Needed permission?Rules of engagemen

So a 4” dia bullseye at 150 yards is a low percentage shot. Attachment suggests quite a delay in counter fire. Why? Google ain't helpin' me find any specifics, but if I recall correctly, while Crooks was about 150 yards from Trump the distance from the successful counter-sniper to Crooks was a bit ...

Incompetence or by plan. Will we ever know? Or a "required" pivot to a pre-existing plan. Who knows? Until we get rid of the least transparent White House in recent history, we'll never know anything. Well, unless somebody can place bugs on Obama and Soros. I'll bet we could learn somethi...

Re: Is anyone in charge of technical issues and responding to new member applications?

Not that it means anything, but just a note that last night was the first time I was able to get onto the forum in a week. Tried every day, but it either timed out or I got the dreaded gateway error. It's such a shame it's not very usable any more. I posted that at 05:00 on the 21st, and the post i...
