  1. Nothing to be scared of , Just hide under your desk and put your hands over your head. If you have time look for this sign and run towards it.
  2. Problem is they didnt fire em all at the same time and light the fucking place up. When one has been at war for 7 yrs a few shots here and there are not a shock, nothing more then a minor inconviniance really .
  3. So you are basicly saying that without the united states , nato would be weak and useless?
  4. California will welcome the new year by becoming the first state to offer health insurance for all undocumented immigrants. Starting Jan. 1, all undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, will qualify for Medi-Cal, California's version of the federal Medicaid program for people with low incomes

  7. NH has laws against that unless one charges a fee. Just for that reason.
  8. BOSTON (AP) — Jeff Smith was whizzing along on a snowmobile one evening a few years back when something dark appeared in front of him. He hit his brakes but he couldn’t avoid clipping the rear tail of a Black Hawk helicopter parked on the trail. The March 2019 crash almost cost Smith his life and is now the subject of a federal lawsuit by the Massachusetts lawyer. He is demanding $9.5 million in damages from the government, money he says is needed to cover his medical expenses and lost wages, as well as hold the military responsible for the crash. Smith’s lawyers in the yearslong court case argue that the crew of the Black Hawk helicopter that flew down from New York’s Fort Drum for night training was negligent for parking a camouflaged 64-foot (19.5-meter) aircraft on a rarely used airfield also used by snowmobilers. Smith also sued the owner of Albert Farms airfield in Worthington, Massachusetts — accusing them of both giving permission to snowmobilers to use the trail and the Blackhawk crew to land in the same area. He settled with the farm owner for an undisclosed sum. Smith argues that the crew didn’t do enough to protect him, including failing to warn snowmobilers of the helicopter’s presence on the trail, leaving the 14,500-pound (6,577-kilogram) aircraft unattended for a brief time and failing to illuminate it. The helicopter landed on an air strip approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and the crew members testified that trainings are often conducted in similar locations. But Smith, who said he had snowmobiled on the trail more than 100 times, said the last time an aircraft used it was decades ago when he was a child — and never a military aircraft. “Our argument from the beginning has been that it’s incompatible to have a helicopter land on an active snowmobile trail,” Smith’s attorney, Douglas Desjardins, said, adding that the lawsuit was filed after the government failed to respond to their damages claim. “The Army internal investigation showed pretty clearly that the crew knew that they were landing right before or right after on an active snowmobile trail,” he said. “What bad could happen there? You know, helicopter on a snowmobile trail where folks go fast.”
  9. Does someone working for $7.25 an hr even have a vehicle? Either way they should stop stealing jobs from teenagers.
  10. Well maybe most folks are concerned with the masses and not the few?
  11. Well you seem quite passionate about this. Have you contacted your federal representatives demanding action ?
  12. Sorry , but less then 1% of employed Americans isnt that much. Raising it would do next to nothing.
  13. Only about 11 % of those from Mexico and central America will be granted amnesty. Knowing that , many never show up for their hearing . Remain in the country working for cash.
  14. Well according to us law it is anyone who crosses the border not thru a legal border crossing.
  15. Well Biden sent more back, that is true. Because there were more here to send back. He also let the most stay then ever before in the history of this country.
  16. No one works for minimum wage. Raising it will not change a damn thing.
  17. We are already in a wage / inflation spiral. No need for it to continue. Anyone working a min wage job will always struggle.
  18. You have a border crisis and you never even take the time to have a conversation with the head of the Border patrol? Gawd this administration is so pathetic The former head of the US Border Patrol said neither President Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped as the “border czar,” ever met with him during his tenure — as he accused the White House of sending mixed messages over the ongoing migrant crisis. Raul Ortiz, who served as the US chief of the Border Patrol for two years before retiring last May, slammed leaders in Washington for playing politics over the border during an interview with “60 Minutes” on Sunday, but he took special issue with Biden and Harris. “I’ve never had one conversation with the president or vice president,” Ortiz revealed.
