    I think she made some good choices in semi-autos. The Ruger SR is about 2/3's the size of the Taurus. You can slip it in a purse with no problem, whereas the Taurus is maybe too much. But I'd rather have the Taurus for the truck and around the house. And the Ruger is a bit more expensive. The Shield EZ in .380 is a great gun for seniors. Grip safety, slide safety, easy racking, good sites and low recoil for a centerfire round. There are some sixty-ish grain copper bullet stuff out on the market now, that lets the .380 really punch above its weight. Keep the mag loaded and out of the gun and it's easy to chamber with a simple rack, but harder for a kid to manipulate everything to fire...If he can get his hand on the gun, he has to insert the mag, chamber, take the safety off and depress the grip safety before it can fire.

This book is a comprehensive anthology of the key writings that helped establish CRT as a distinct field of inquiry. "Race, Reform, and Rebellion: The Second Reconstruction in Black America, 1945-1990" by Manning Marable. This book provides a historical overview of the Civil Rights Movement and the ways in which it contributed to the development of CRT. "Critical Race Theory: An Introduction" by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to CRT, including its key concepts, central arguments, and major figures. "The Social Construction of Race" edited by Richard Delgado and Stefancic. The book is a collection of essays that explore the ways in which race is constructed and maintained through social, political, and economic processes. "Critical Race Theory: The Cutting Edge" edited by Richard Delgado. This book is a collection of essays from leading CRT scholars that explore the latest developments in the field, including its applications in various fields such as education, law, and policy. "White Reign: Deploying Whiteness in America" by Joe Feagin is a critical examination of the ways in which whiteness operates as a system of power and privilege in the United States. "Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America" by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva. This book examines how racial inequality persists in the United States despite the widespread belief that the country is moving beyond racism. "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander, which examines the ways in which the criminal justice system perpetuates racial inequality and functions as a new form of racial control. These are some of the most frequently cited references in the field of Critical Race Theory, but it is important to note that this field is an ever-evolving and growing area of study, and there are many other important works and authors that contribute to the development of this field.

    @jon-nyc said in Hey Jolly: @Jolly In the words of the great Ben Franklin, there will be sleep aplenty in the grave. That's how I look at things, too. The rest of the family, not so much. Mrs. Phibes is an Olympic level sleeper, and I frequently see my kids raise themselves after I've been up for about 6 hours, only to be told how tired they are. It's a good job I'm not prone to making off-the-cuff remarks.

    The Swamp is real. And The Swamp has become very biased. We need several things... A partial return to the spoils system and an expansion of Trump's Schedule F. Vigorous congressional oversight. An end to the FISA Court. Special Prosecutors should be safe, effective and rare. Dispersal of Departments. Trump was right on that one, too. Too much Swamp in one place, as it tends to feed and nurture itself with career bureaucrats migrating between agencies.

    Soon, there will be no need for the ants. Mr. Biden is going to take care of it. How? By working together. Now, President Biden has reignited the Cancer Moonshot and set a new national goal: if we work together, we can cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years, and improve the experience of people and their families living with and surviving cancer. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cancermoonshot/

    @jon-nyc said in The worst SCOTUS decisions: Lots of recency bias there. At least they put Dred Scott first. Recency bias or a change in how the court does business?

    @Renauda said in The Dream Ticket for the GOP: @George-K I thought you might have shaved for that occasion. Since 1970, there are two times I shaved my facial hair. For my interview to medical school. I kept it off for about 5 months. In 1986 when Mrs. George said, "I wonder what you'd look like if..." I kept it off for 11 years. Either of those two events would have had more importance for me than a visit with (any) POTUS.

    @Horace said in Project Veritas "Interviews" Pfizer Director: The date was definitely a guy though, I think we can all agree on that. Not that I'm a biologist. I was just going to reply, 40 years ago he would have been trying to destroy the evidence that he was gay…
