Vances's RNC speech

I disagree. Same policy applies IMO. Now if they're constantly flip flopping all over the place, that's another story. But not evolving their opinion on anything isn't good.

We agree.

I’m just saying that politicians opinions change with the winds… and they’ll say anything to be elected… so absolutely worth the “trust but verify” approach.
 
The Chief Engineer at my last command did an open house in Virginia prior to moving to Wa. He was selling his house and still had stuff in there to stage the house for potential buyers.

He had cameras and an alarm system.

Monday morning, two guys used a crow bar to get into the front door, walked straight to the closet where he kept his guns, took all the guns and walked through the neighborhood to their vehicle and drove away.

He has all this on camera and the alarm system activated. The police arrived minutes after they were already gone. They were also smart enough to park around the corner where his cameras would not get the vehicle or plates.

The whole ordeal took them less than 4 minutes from getting out of their vehicle to driving away. They knew exactly what they were looking for and exactly how to pull off the crime.

Guns in a safe would have definitely cost the thieves some extra time.
Friends or family .

They knew exactly where to go

Which is the majority of burglars.

Yep.

When I was 8, our house was broken into and just about all guns stolen. Many weird hiding spots, thief knew exactly where to look.

My parents had befriended a recovered coke head at church months before. He found the lord, got saved, and turned his life around. That Wednesday night while we were at church was when the break in happened, and oddly enough he wasn't at church. Also odd- he never came back to church.

He went to prison a year or 2 later for YOU GUESSED IT coke... and confessed to our break in along with a bunch of others. No worries... he found the lord again in jail and got re-saved.

Conspiracy twist- this was the early 80's and he was from Mena Arkansas just right up the road. Reference movie- 'American Made'.

Didn't want to start another thread, and since this was the only one where Vance is the star.


Vance Walks Up To Reporters Waiting On Tarmac For Harris: ‘Thought You Guys Might Get Lonely Because The VP Doesn’t Answer Questions’​

Ohio Senator and Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance was on the same tarmac as Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Wednesday and felt some sympathy for the group of reporters covering the Democratic nominee. It’s been more than two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out and passed the mantle to Harris and the vice president has yet to do a major interview.
Both Vance’s and Harris’ planes landed in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, around the same time as both candidates hit the campaign trail in the swing state. Vance took the opportunity to address the reporters waiting for Harris and called on the Democrat to answer more questions from the press.

“I figured I’d come by … hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” Vance said pointing back at Air Force Two. “I also thought you guys may get lonely because the vice president doesn’t answer questions from reporters and hasn’t for seventeen days.”
“Have they given you guys an explanation for why she won’t take questions from reporters?” he asked. “Nobody? Okay, great. Well, I hope that she’s changed her mind because it would be good for the American people, and I think it would be good for you all if she actually ran a real campaign instead of one from her basement with a teleprompter.”
ust answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position she has has changed.”
WATCH:



Harris has been blasted for seemingly avoiding tough questions from the media after she locked up the Democratic nomination. The vice president and her newly tapped running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are at the beginning of a campaign tour that will take them to each of the seven battleground states, but Harris doesn’t have any long-form interviews planned as of Wednesday.
Harris and Walz appeared together for the first time as presidential and vice presidential nominees in Philadelphia for a rally on Tuesday night, hours after Harris picked Walz as her running mate. During the rally, Harris said Walz’s resume next to Vance’s is “like a matchup between the Varsity team and the JV squad.”
 
She's not incorrect on that one. It is like JV vs Varsity but she's dyslexic as to who is who. :laughing:
 
After the governor here said that J.D. insulted Kentuckians in his book, I bought and read it. Nothing I read seemed wrong or misleading.
