It was already posted for you in a reply to your message about Florida open carry many minutes before you posted this message and the last one in this thread, so I know you’ve read it  :thumbs

You are welcome by the way.

Actually, I hadn't seen your post. So, I was wrong about it being an open carry state.  Thanks for the correction.  My question was a serious question....but I was wrong on the premise...not a lie.

Now....about that amazing healing ability from a 79 year old.  The guy is truly above human.

Social media.  Plain and simple.  I don’t even think the radical news outlets would exist without it.

Trump and politicians like him would never sniff the podium if social media didn’t exist.

I think a.m. talk radio in the 1990s -2000s filled a similar role; lots of extremism and conspiracy theory. Big audiences but fewer practitioners and not the 24/7 drumbeat. It made stars of right wingnuts and some of them are still around today. 

I think a whole movement was born in the 1993 Waco Standoff. Felt like a turning point for a lot of anti-government voices. 

Social media just added high-grade gasoline.

This is a super good point!

I can't remember ALL the names but Rush and a few others had huge numbers and were making millions.

That is exactly right. It started a few years before that with Rush. But, Waco lot the powder keg. 
 

That’s the era when I listened to Rush every day driving for my job. Then came Fox News and I really thought I was a smart sum b!^@h. 

 
After a bit of reading it seems like this is just theater as it doesn't really change much and could make domestic violence reporting less likely (article):

The law currently designates illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a crime “involving moral turpitude” as inadmissible, but there are exceptions if the crime was committed when the illegal alien was a minor or if the maximum penalty was a year or less behind bars and the illegal immigrant was not sentenced to more than six months in prison. 

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-New York, who voted against the bill, said that he would have supported a bill that fixed a gap in the current law. 

“But that is not the case here. In reality, the redundancies in this bill all but assure that no additional dangerous individuals would face immigration consequences if it were to become law,” he said on the floor. 

“Instead, the overly broad definition and lack of any waiver authority in this bill would result in extremely harsh and unintended consequences, including the removal of survivors of domestic violence,” he said. 

Mace noted that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a memorandum to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that not all domestic violence offenders should be removed because he believed such a “categorical determination … could make victims of domestic violence more reluctant to report the offense conduct.”

You do have to admit though that Rush created an amazing radio following.  And he had a great radio voice.

In terms of biggest radio guys ever...

Rush

Stern

Jim Rome

Maybe in that order???

The architect of New York City's coronavirus lockdowns admitted to breaking his own rules to attend drug-fueled sex parties in an undercover sting.
 

He also detailed how he snuck around to participate in 'deviant sexual' gatherings, hosted sex parties at his home and rented a hotel with friends where they would get 'naked' and take 'molly,' a street name for MDMA or ecstasy. 

He was secretly recorded in a sting operation by Mug Club Undercover, an investigative organization run by right-wing commentator Steven Crowder.

Dr Varma was former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio's most senior Covid advisor, appearing in daily public briefings and championing restrictions like school closures and vaccine mandates.
