Also from your own chart Haitians are much safer drivers that than Dominicans, but people from Cuba, Barbados, Trinidad, the Bahamas, are right in there with the white European countries for being safe drivers. Yet...for some odd reason they don't make your list. Why is that? (And based on the chart I provided they're probably safer drivers than white Americans.)

:rolleyes: Your chart is silly because it has nothing to do with your point. Let's walk through your "thesis" if it can even be called that. 1) You "noticed" driving accidents going up recently. (You didn't include ANY data on that so we're just going off your gut on that). 2) You assume "it must be because of them immigrants." 3) You find a chart NOT OF ACCIDENTS BY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IN THE U.S., but rather accidents by COUNTRY AS A WHOLE and ASSUME that somehow translates to your gut feelings in points 1 and 2. Why are accidents higher in certain other countries? Could it be bad roads? Could it be conflict? (If your car hits a landmine is that considered a driving accident or a post war casualty?) Could it be a lack of stoplights? Poor maintenance on cars in certain countries because of a lack of parts? Who knows! You just found a stat that goes with you hunch #1 and hunch #2 and by golly you're going to make some hay out of it garsh darnit! 4) You don't even LOOK at the ethnicity or country of origin of accidents by driver in the U.S. to see what's going on IN THE U.S.!

I of course can't provide these numbers but I remember distinctly noticing an average traffic fatality increase some time around 2014. There was a marked decrease during the 90s, and there was no data to show whether it was the hyper-aggressive DUI laws, or the increase in antilock brakes (and... sigh... airbags), but of course we know what gets the credit... ...but I don't remember finding any reason why it would increase afterward, apart from "shitty drivers". At the time I credited it to the fact that gen X learned to drive on rusty beaters that didn't have a third brake light, a convex passenger side mirror, or even power steering... and every generation thereafter doesn't have the experience of "Oh my God this thing is a fucking deathtrap and it's the only way to get to my girlfriend's house so this is absolutely happening". Having such a fundamental learning experience matters IMO. But these days I'm pretty open to the idea that Muslim women who were previously not even allowed out of the house are a pretty big danger on the road, too.

The Hispanics I know who aren't here "legally" are all trying to keep their noses as clean as possible, because they don't want anyone looking into them. Wait, I thought we weren't allowed to ever forget that there absolutely was a time when Africans were driving immigration numbers, even if that time is not germane to the discussion.

You whole argument implodes based on facts that you can't disputed. In the FREAKING UNITED STATES Hispanics have lower fatality rates than whites period, end of story. Even from your own silly chart, Mexico is the same color as the U.S., yet you for some unknown reason only mentioned white countries and Japan. And Africans aren't driving the immigration rates right now. In fact Africans never have. Most immigrants are coming from Hispanic countries and Asian countries. It's not even close. Stupid argument is stupid.

A) I'm surprised the cackling hens didn't all lay eggs when Dr. Phil dropped those truth bombs on them. B) It was fun to see Dr. Phil smack down Whoopi Goldberg's false assertion that the lockdowns were saving kids from COVID when VERY FEW school aged children died from COVID ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! C) I wonder if he brought up the fact that other countries like Japan and Taiwan had better COVID outcomes WITHOUT closing down schools. D) The Washington Post reported back in 2016 that the Obama administration had turned children over to child traffickers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/obama-administration-placed-children-with-human-traffickers-report-says/2016/01/28/39465050-c542-11e5-9693-933a4d31bcc8_story.html

:rolleyes: According to this chart, Hispanics are safer drivers than whites.

Bumped for modern relevance.

One rule about the small hat club...you don't talk about the small hat club. I noticed that the Torah Jews Against Zionism where big hats. Is there something to the big hats versus small hats? I never thought of that really.

We forget so easily that the default state of Europe has always been war. If you think the media went batshit crazy with covid, or with Trump... well, I now think I'll actually live to see the point where the US goes completely bankrupt, stops funneling dollars into Europe's furnace, and the Europeans go back to shoveling their youth into it. Our media is going to go full Orwellian. We're going to be told 24/7 that eating the bugs is the only way to scratch together the funds to stop the apocalypse. Hitler is going to be mentioned more in a week of TV than he has been in the last 80 years. It's going to be important for us to be there telling everyone we can that they've been picking a scab for a century, that they had decades to back off, and that there's only one way to deal with tyrants in the end.

Yeah....good show.

Favorite 70s shows? Sanford and Son, The Waltons, Good Times, The Jeffersons, The Bionic Man, The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman (yowza!), Charlies Angels (had the lunch box), Starsky and Hutch, The Incredible Hulk, S.W.A.T. (best theme song ever), Columbo, Kojack, Berretta, What's Happening, All In The Family, Family Affair, The Brady Brunch, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Flying Nun, The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbillies (re-runs but I'll take it), Happy Days (watched from the first episode...stopped before it jumped the shark), Wild Kingdom, The Wonderful World Of Disney (when it was still wonderful), Green Acres (re-runs but I'll take it), I Dream Of Genie (same..and yowza!), Welcome Back Kotter, Taxi, Captain Kangaroo, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Spiderman, Speed Racer, Starblazers, Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, Battlestar Galactica, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley, Hogan's Heros (again...reruns), Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers...until I grew out of it, Electric Company, Alphabet Soup, Dr. Who (when it was still good...though I didn't discover it until the 80s so does that count?), Little House On The Prairie, that's all I can think of for now. The 1970s also had the best miniseries. (Roots, Ms. Jane Pittman, A woman called Moses, The Holocaust, Skokie, MLK, The Hiding Place). And right round 1976 they had a patriotic cartoon with a "spirit of 1776" who would come out of a grandfather clock and tell Revolutionary War Stories. (Can't think of the name of it).

Did I just read that someone said Dennis Prager should be fired from his own organization?

Normally, no, they wouldn't. Same with Trump being able to go to his Supreme Court case, or to his son's graduation. Which is what makes this all so obvious.

Any judge and DA could do that to anybody regardless of whether or not they are guilty, regardless of whether they disobeyed any court orders. And if Trump goes to jail because he went to his son's graduation, or to his Supreme Court oral argument hearings, it will be his own "fault" too, right?

Trump isn't just a "celebrity".... he has spent his whole life leading up to this moment, these court cases and this lawfare have him exactly in his element. It's like this is what he has been training for his entire life. He is probably feeling more alive than ever and is just waiting at his chance to get revenge. You couldn't write a better movie script. The idea that I don't care about all the random people the government has screwed over is ridiculous... The question is which of them have the mental capacity, the training, the ability, the temperament and the balls to go in there and fuck them up? Are any of these other people even on the ballot? Or should we all just write them in instead and let Biden and the regime remain in power? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to release an entire nest of wasps on the government, and you're all like "Well, wasps aren't libertarian enough... they don't follow the NAP"

The Judge told him today he has to be in court on his son's graduation, otherwise he goes to prison. Over complete bullshit charges. Do you know how angry he is at them? I'll vote for that guy over just about anybody.

I get your point. What Sonny Tufts seems to be missing is the fact that you don't pick your plaintiffs. Well....sometimes people do. Rosa Parks wasn't the first black women not to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, but the woman before her was a single mom and back then the left cared about appearances. Fast forward to the 21st century and a druggie who robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint, but nonetheless was murdered by a cop (no excuse for Chauvin to have his knee on Floyd's neck 2 minutes after Floyd no longer had a pulse), became an international hero for....dying. And it's not like there haven't been more sympathetic black people killed by police. Elijah McClain was just walking home listening to music, wearing a ski mask because of his allergies and he was attacked by police and then overdosed by EMTs with ketamine. That was just a year before George Floyd. But how many people know his name? (I had to look it up). I think Floyd was a matter of timing. It was close enough to affect the 2020 election and far enough away from the First Step Act for all of the goodwill Trump had generated in the black community to have evaporated.

Possible perjury for him having said he didn't have such messages on his phone. Needlessly delaying and driving up the litigation costs by not cooperating with discovery. Disobeying a lawful court order. Yes. The attorney screwed up multiple ways. But it also sounds like Alex didn't tell the truth about whether or not he did any texts about Sandy Hook. There are two possibilities. 1) Alex just "forgot" and his lawyer didn't refresh his memory by helping him search through his own cell phone. 2) AJ didn't want the records out and told his attorney not to turn them over. It's still his attorney's screw up. He should have convinced Alex to turn the records over and explained to him how they would mitigate the situation. The Paul Joseph Watson comment about the COVID dummies and his statement "This is like Sandy Hook" wasn't necessarily fatal to their case. They could have argued that both were examples of unintentional mistakes that were cleared up as soon as possible. Sometimes the best answer is "I don't recall" as opposed to an emphatic "No." But also in this case there was a specific question that Alex could easily check and verify. Further, 99% of the time before you have someone under oath you do written discovery AKA interrogatories and requests for production of documents. Normally you have 30 days to comply though the time often gets extended. So there was probably an interrogatory question on paper that said "Do you send or receive any text messages about Sandy Hook" followed by "produce any text messages you sent or received about Sandy Hook." The lawyer should have found that, told Alex the answer to the interrogatory was "yes" and then created a file with a copy of all of those messages to turn over. Why that didn't happen? That's between Alex and his lawyer.

LOL... you love taking things out of context so much. The point was that Trump and Rand are more effective at fighting against FISA abuse than Amash by himself, and Amash was promoting the idea that Trump should be impeached.

One of the families was saying that when they heard Hillary Clinton talking about AJ and Sandy Hook during the election, they thought that he was still on his podcast talking about it and making money years later.. when in fact he tried for several weeks to NOT talk about it, while documentaries with millions of views were all over the internet.. his audience was DEMANDING he talk about it, all he did was a couple interviews, decided to drop it right away and never talked about it again. The families never watched the show, had no idea what they were even suing him over. AJ wasn't allowed to defend himself in court. It was all a big setup to knee cap him, that is what they admitted it was from day one.
