@Lauren Most burglaries happen in the daytime, even though i have infrared on the cameras, it will probably just show me the animals that like to visit at night, so I don't go outside to see what the noise is. Since I worked out of my house for years, I used a lot of different tricks to let people know I was home. Have a cup of coffee on the front porch, inspect plants in the front yard, wander outside when I needed a break. For several years I had a roommate that was the best deterent, think zz top meets grizzly Adams. He would be up every morning at 3 am and would sit on the patio smoking until i got up at 9 or 10, so there was almost always someone outside for people to see.

The other thing to consider is that there are only about 20 deaths per year from dogs, you should ban airplanes, firearms and eating all of which have a much greater chance of killing someone than any dog attack.

We stopped flying airborne alert in the 1960s due to the number of accidents and upgraded radar as well as minuteman III coming online. AB-52 can carry 12 ALCMs on the wings, 8 ALCMs internal, . It takes 12-18 hours to convert from nuclear mode to/from conventional mode. Max conventional payload currently is less than 63,000 pounds because of internal configurations of the H model.

Hmm........

It's an obvious lame attempt by the outlaws in W.H to go after Iran's OIL .No American Blood for ExxonMobile, BP or Gulf..

glennlab replies on Jan 6, 2020:

It is not to pump more oil, it is to take production out of the world market, even with Venezuela taken out of the mix, we still have a worlfwide surplus of production keeping prices low. Sanctions are not working to keep Iran's oil out of the market, so like Iraq, an invasion will be necessary to stop production. Anyone else remember $150 bbl oil during the Iraq invasion?

No Republican would consider removing a president just months before an election.

The convention is not Until 8/24-8/27, as long as a trial is completed by July, no problem marshalling a candidate. The old nomination process was 3 months, all the delegates to the convention will already be nominated, so a very cheap process with only a few thousand voters to influence. Any delegate pledged to trump would be released if he were no longer eligable

glennlab replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@Trajan61 The payment to the hostages was paid out of these funds before they were released to Iran, as were the bills to all the US companies that had outstanding debts. Both US law and international law state that once the claims have been paid, all the remaining property must be returned. Just like we returned the MIGs that defectors flew to the US once they had been thouroly examined. What about the rule of law do you not understand, is it to complex for you to comprehend are you just an antogonist that likes to stir up shit by ignoring facts.

You know nothing about the money that we returned to them. They had paid in cash for weapons systems that we did not deliver to them, because of the fall of the shah. This was a claim that they had against the US that was ordered by the world court. These funds had been held to settle any claims by US citizens against Iran and once all claims had been paid, the remainder had to be paid back to Iran. Because the US had frozen Iran out of the international banking system, the payment had to be in the world reserve currency, US dollars. They had been held by the US since the Iranian seizure of the US embassy.
