I'm not saying you should. You shouldn't unless you absolutely have to. But if you ever find yourself in a situation like that, there isn't a lot of time to think about it
My dad came out pointing something at me, as if it was a gun.
He was all nervous, then relaxed once he saw it was me. And rather than explain he was gonna try to scare off some home invader by pretending the tv remote was a gun, he instead lectured me about interrupting his Letterman.
Point is, how often do perceived home invasions and the subsequent “make my day” gun owner moment, actually end up in accidentally shooting a loved one or somethin?

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
I’ll wager that this type of incident happens more often than the NRA and the Republican Party would like you to know. Of course, they prevented the CDC from reporting on this.
Re: Vivek ramaswamy
Maybe the Covid death stats are way out of whack; should some portion of those who died of Covid be disregarded, because they had a significant co-morbidity (“being alive in America”)?
Re: Vivek ramaswamy
Stats, Data, facts, those have no place in these arguments.

Here comes the King of analyzing 1 percent of the data, then pulling statistics from the outlier, ignoring the other 99 percent, and claiming that proves his point

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
Vivek feels the Democratic Party should change their way/s. Ok, MAYBE I can respect that.
I wonder how he feels about the Republican Party doing the same thing. I am confident he would SAY that if he was the Incumbent President he would be open to debate/s but my guess is he would THINK differently.

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
Holy shit! Talk about big brother watching you/me....
10 seconds after I posted that I received this unsolicited email.
A message from our sponsor
Don Lemon FIRED from CNN.
FIRST: I had to teach Don Lemon a history lesson when it comes to the Second Amendment and the rights of black citizens.
THEN: Don Lemon told me I couldn't speak the truth because of the color of my skin. I reject that.
NOW: Don Lemon is OUT at CNN.
Fellow American, I am not afraid to bring the debate to anyone who is willing to talk about the important issues, but I won’t back down.
I am committed to bringing fresh, radical ideas to the table that will help put America back on track. But I can't do it without your support.
In the next 30 minutes, will you join my team to make sure we can continue to take the debate to the Left?
Thanks,
Vivek

Vivek is an American entrepreneur, political and cultural thought leader, and New York Times bestselling author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam, along with his second book, Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.
He has been a prominent and outspoken critic against ESG, discriminatory practices under the guise of critical race theory, and of what he calls "government-tech censorship," where the government colludes with big tech to do through the backdoor what it couldn't do through the front door under the Constitution.
Vivek is a first-generation American. Growing up in the Cincinnati area, he often recounts the sage advice he received from his father that "If you're going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding." This advice set the course for his life: an accomplished pianist, a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his Jesuit high school. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard in 2007 and received his J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 2013, worked at a hedge fund, then started a pharmaceutical company, Roivant Sciences, where his team developed five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved.
In 2022, he founded Strive Asset Management, an Ohio-based firm, that takes direct aim at asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and others for their fiduciary breach of duty to maximize the wealth of their clients for Wokeism. Strive's mission is to restore the voices of everyday citizens in the American economy by leading companies to focus on excellence over politics.
