    No we ask how is he still alive. At that range if they meant to kill him he should be dead.

    No. And, I’m disappointed so many blindly believed.

    The initial information was 200-300 yards. A good shooter with range ammo (medium quality) and a decent rifle will shoot about 2 MOA or “minutes of angle” accuracy. A better shooter with better ammo and rifle will shoot about 1.5 MOA.

    The math conveniently works out such that 1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards. At 1 MOA and 100 yards range, the distance from the furthest spaced rounds in a small number of rounds will be 1 inch.

    At 300 yards 1.5 MOA is 4.5 inches. At 200 yards it’s 3 inches. At 300 it’d take three shots to be sure. At 200 it’s a likely one shot kill.

    The news of 200-300 yards was intentional uncertainty. We sheep aren’t to know the actual risk to Trump’s life.














  • Consider the alternative of putting the Green platform on every ballot in 2028, overcoming the first and largest obstacle maintaining duopoly. It takes only 5% of the GE popular. Then, watch as Democrats panic to maintain the “big tent” for four years.

    I’m a triple minority. I’ve suffered assholes my whole life. Things got worse under Trump. But, that damage is already done. In this facet nothing changes for me if it’s Trump once again. I’m not afraid. We must think in terms much greater than four years.





  • No, seriously, I’ve got a bunch of yard work to do.

    I once had a series of those suburban yards. Now, my rural yard is mostly some grasses, wild strawberry, and dandelion. There’s ants, spiders, slugs, praying mantis, ladybugs and others that mimic them, and worms. I let one corner do its thing and now it’s full of bees. I no longer use water, fertilizer or weedkiller. I just mow it. It’s always green, though what’s growing well changes with the season and conditions. Nature takes care of itself, despite me running my mower over it.

    I thought about not mowing it. But, I’m worried about rodents, snakes, and black bear getting too close. I should probably plant some native trees and shrubs to eat some space.
