Is there something classified about this photo of the Alexandria?
Up periscope!
 
We know where we want to go...Wyoming and or Arizona.
There was a time not many years ago I would have put in to hunt Ventura County.
With the drought and the mountain lion protection....where once you would see many deer, last couple of years have been few to none.

Although Pepperdine has a nice herd running the campus...:cool:
I hope you two have a great time.
That sounds really cool.
 
Karl Marx thought that capitalism inevitably made the rich richer and the poor poorer. By the time Marx died, however, the average Englishman was three times richer than at the time of his birth 65 years earlier — never before had the population experienced anything like it.--Johan Norbert
 
The chart above confirms Irwin’s statement by showing the shares of US imports of goods classified by “end-use category.” In 2015, imports of capital goods (machinery, equipment, aircraft, semiconductors, engines, tractors, etc.) and industrial equipment (lumber, chemicals, aluminum and copper, iron and steel, cotton and wool, plastics, fuels, etc.) together accounted for 53% of total imports last year. It’s an important point that more than half of what enters the US as imports are orders from US companies (e.g. manufacturers) for equipment, supplies, raw materials, commodities, and other imports that serve as direct inputs into the production process that takes places in American factories and businesses that employ millions of American workers. And the lower the price of inputs for US businesses (whether sourced internationally or domestically), the more competitive those companies are, the more of their products they can sell (both international and domestically), the greater market share they can achieve, and the more US workers they can hire. In contrast, the higher the prices of imported inputs (e.g. through higher tariffs), the less competitive US companies will be, and the fewer workers they will hire. Keep that in mind the next time you hear Trump’s nitwitery about creating more American jobs by making imported inputs more expensive with his proposals to impose double-digit tariffs on goods from Mexico and China.

Marxism is what feeds the bern.
It makes life fair for everyone but the few at central command, who decide how the fairness should be spread around.
Us few, ..I mean those few, need the resources to enable our, ..I mean, their brilliant vision of fairness to be forced on the population.

At least 25 people were shot over 14 hours in attacks across Chicago beginning Saturday afternoon, police said, equivalent to someone being shot every 33 minutes.

Three of the shootings were fatal, including an attack in Marquette Park at about 2:50 a.m. Sunday.

Darius Brownlee, 25, was on a porch in the 7000 block of South Artesian Avenue when someone walked up and asked if he had any marijuana, according to family. When he said he didn't, the person shot him in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

"He had a heart. He was respectful," said his sister, Iesha Brownlee, at the scene. "A very respectful young man. He would help anybody."

Five minutes after midnight, a 24-year-old man was shot dead in the Homan Square neighborhood. Police responded to a call of a person shot in the 3700 block of West Grenshaw Street and found him on his porch with a gunshot wound to the chest. He said he had been shot in another location and walked back to his home to tell his family he had been wounded, police said. From there, he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead.

At 8:10 p.m. Saturday, a 20-year-old man was on the sidewalk in the 2700 block of North Harding Avenue in Logan Square when someone shot him in the head. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Sucks that guns are so common in America that they become a tool to solve your problems in life.

Sucks that people lack self respect, compassion or civility.
Sucks that people turn to violence, drugs, & in doing so have total disregard for their neighbors and themselves.
Don't blame the tool, blame the operator of the tool.
Blame the enablers.

The NRA and 2A worshipers won't consider any discussion, even the ones aimed at dealing with the people who have access and use guns. Drugs and crime exist in other nations, it's unfortunate that here our criminals are surrounded by tools of destruction.

The NRA speaks for the millions and millions of gun owners who have never and will never use their guns in an unlawful manner.
Are they at times unreasonable? Sure. Look at the hysterical bull that come from those that would confiscate all guns, as if this will cure the reasons people in Chicago slaughter their neighbors.
There are many people who believe individuals should be held accountable for their actions.
Alcohol does not make people drink and drive, short dresses do not make rapists and the 2nd amendment doesn't make people murderers.

You honestly believe that criminals in Russia or China, the European countries or South America don't surround themselves with "tools of destruction"?
Muahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

Right!

By "enablers" do you mean those who make guns so easy to obtain?

No.
Buying a gun legally is many things, easy really doesn't come to mind. Who exactly makes "guns easy to obtain"?
Or do you mean gun give aways like 'Fast and Furious'? - http://nypost.com/2013/12/01/book-excerpt-how-america-gave-guns-to-mexican-drug-cartels/
I'm talking about the politician who year after year, decade after decade promise folks that if elected, they address poverty and unemployment and poor schooling.
Democrats have been politically in charge of Chicago for decades, very little if anything has changed. Perhaps it's never been worse....they look the other way until election time.
 
Anybody surprised? Anybody?

You think that you're such a smart girl
And I'll believe what you say
But who do you think you are, girl?
To lead me on this way, hey


Lies, lies, yeah baby

FBI uncovers 14,900 more documents in Clinton email probe
The FBI’s year-long investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server uncovered 14,900 emails and documents from her time as secretary of state that had not been disclosed by her attorneys, and a federal judge on Monday pressed the State Department to begin releasing emails sooner than mid-October as it planned.

Justice Department lawyers said last week that the State Department would review and turn over Clinton’s work-related emails to a conservative legal group. The records are among “tens of thousands” of documents found by the FBI in its probe and turned over to the State Department, Justice Department attorney Lisa Ann Olson said Monday in court.

The 14,900 Clinton documents are nearly 50 percent more than the roughly 30,000 emails that Clinton’s lawyers deemed work-related and returned to the department in December 2014.

They'll figure it out, I'm not shedding a single tear for the healthcare industry.



When do you suppose "they'll" figure this out?


One-third of US won't have choice between Obamacare plans in 2017
It's looking like a lot of people are going to have little Obamacare choice next year.
One-third of the United States may have just a single insurer to pick from on Obamacare marketplaces in 2017, an analysis released Friday suggests.

Seven entire states are projected to have just one carrier in 2017: Alaska, Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wyoming, according to research by the Avalere consultancy.

And more than half of the country, 55 percent, may end up having two or fewer insurers to choose from on those government-run exchanges, Avalere said.
"And there may be some sub-region counties where no plans are available," a report by Avalere on its analysis found.

The findings reflect the effect of announcements this summer that three major insurers — Aetna (AET), UnitedHealth (UNH), and Humana (HUM) — will sharply reduce the number of areas where they will sell individual health plans in 2017 due to financial losses on those plans, as well as the failures of most Obamacare co-op insurance plans.

Pffffttt........
There isn't even a partial ban on alcohol.
Tougher DUI laws was the answer.
Outlawing beer, wine and hard liquor was not the answer.
It's a foreign concept to some, but how 'bout holding those who break the law responsible?
You don't roust innocent patrons in a café or bar because some guy gets drunk and start swinging or leaves the bar drunk and hits a parked car.
You arrest the perpetrator.
When exactly did we find a "solution" to drunk driving?

Have you seen my wife?
Banning alcohol would be inhumane. (to me as well as her)
Mrs. Sanders looks like a million bucks with the proper beer goggles tuned in.
