    Some candidates colluding with Russia is completely acceptable. The mainstream media will let us know which to be upset about. 
     
    Hint; Democrats are free to collude with Russians or anyone else.

    My 2 older kids(11 and 9) go out hunting with their Mom's(my x) side of the family because they are the epitome of redneck. I want my young children(1 and 4) to understand firearm safety and how to use them but I do think they are to young right now, maybe when they are about 9 or 10 I will start teaching them.
     
    So the laws on the books didn't work because they were not followed so we just want to add more laws? How does that make any sense at all?

    Please provide a list of the heads of state that the Russian government has assassinated?  It does seem a little reckless that you seem to be promoting a hot war with Russia, you do know that they still possess nuclear weapons.

    Are you saying that the Polish report was somehow changed by the Russians?
     
    Cause of accident according to Polish report:
    "The immediate cause of the accident was the descent below the minimum descent altitude at an excessive rate of descent in weather conditions which prevented visual contact with the ground, as well as a delayed execution of the go-around procedure. Those circumstances led to an impact on a terrain obstacle resulting in separation of a part of the left wing with aileron and consequently to the loss of aircraft control and eventual ground impact"[2]
    Circumstances contributing to the accident:[2]
    Failure to monitor altitude by means of a pressure altimeter during a non-precision approach; failure by the crew to respond to the PULL UP warning generated by the TAWS; attempt to execute the go-around maneuver under the control of ABSU (automatic go-around); Approach Control confirming to the crew the correct position of the airplane in relation to the RWY threshold, glide slope, and course which might have affirmed the crew's belief that the approach was proceeding correctly although the airplane was actually outside the permissible deviation margin; failure by LZC to inform the crew about descending below the glide slope and delayed issuance of the level-out command; incorrect training of the Tu-154M flight crews in the 36 Regiment. Conducive circumstances:[2]
    incorrect coordination of the crew's work, which placed an excessive burden on the aircraft commander in the final phase of the flight; insufficient flight preparation of the crew; the crew's insufficient knowledge of the airplane's systems and their limitations; inadequate cross-monitoring among the crew members and failure to respond to the mistakes committed; crew composition inadequate for the task; ineffective immediate supervision of the 36 Regiment's flight training process by the Air Force Command; failure by the 36 Regiment to develop procedures governing the crew's actions in the event of: failure to meet the established approach criteria; using radio altimeter for establishing alarm altitude values for various types of approach; distribution of duties in a multi-crew flight. sporadic performance of flight support duties by LZC over the last 12 months, in particular under difficult WC, and lack of practical experience as LZC at the SMOLENSK NORTH airfield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Polish_Air_Force_Tu-154_crash
     
    Don't get me wrong here, the Russian government is run by some real winners, but accusing them of murdering a sitting head of state does seem to be a bit of a stretch.

    What is there to tackle?  Elections are run locally, so getting the information out regarding potential interference is all they really can do.  Or are you suggesting the feds take over all election activities?
     
    I know you choose to ignore the Hillary campaign colluding with the Russians and other foreign agents, but that is still all they found.

    Having done the entire immigration process the legal way, we never once felt nervous about walking into anywhere nor any situation.  People who break the law have good reason to be nervous around those who police our country.

    Ethanol is a horrible waste.  I can't believe it's still being manufactured.  It takes something like three gallons of water to distill one gallon of fuel.  And that doesn't take into account the water needed to grow the corn - about 70-75 gallons of water for each gallon of fuel produced.
     
    In addition, ethanol is very corrosive, and as such cannot be pumped in our current oil pipelines; it has to be trucked, which is more costly.
     
    It might be worth it when distilled for human consumption, but it is very cost prohibitive as fuel,  and is still only in use due to government subsidies.

    The political tide may be turning against the corn ethanol mandate. The Renewable Fuel Standard, which forces oil refiners to mix corn-based fuel into gasoline, is one of history’s great policy boondoggles. Even ex-Rep. Henry Waxman of California, a key sponsor of the original legislation establishing the standard, said Thursday that he favors phasing out the mandate.
    There’s bipartisan support in Congress for such a move. Sen. Tom Udall (D., N.M.) and Rep. Peter Welch (D., Vt.) have introduced the Greener Fuels Act, and Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) is said to be working his own legislation altering the mandate, in response to the recent closure of a Pennsylvania refinery.
    The corn ethanol mandate was created under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Two years later, President Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act, which expanded the program by providing generous tax credits and subsidies to corn growers and ethanol blenders. It also established ambitious targets, increasing annually, for biofuels in the national fuel mix. The mandate soon diverted 40% of America’s corn crop away from the food supply.
     
    The government-imposed shortage caused corn prices to float from long-term mean levels of about $2 per bushel to more than $8 per bushel in 2012. This extraordinary price surge prompted a range of harmful responses in the farming industry. Farmers planted 17 million new acres of corn at the expense of soybeans, wheat, hay and cotton, driving prices for those crops to all-time highs as well. Cattle farmers, unable to afford corn gluten feed, culled their herds to levels not seen in 60 years, causing beef prices to rise an incredible 60% from 2007 to 2012. Over this five-year period, the IMF food price index rose 42%.
      The stress on the economy was intense. The mandate became untenable until the Environmental Protection Agency announced in August 2013 that it was weighing freezing the annual ethanol blend mandate at 14 billion gallons (it ultimately followed through). This caused the bubble to burst in a spectacular fashion. The new blend level was rightly viewed as a cut in future demand, and corn prices collapsed in subsequent months.
    The country has endured a startling amount of economic disruption for what is clearly an inferior source of energy. Ethanol produces 34% less energy per volume than conventional gasoline, reducing cars’ fuel economy. As for its effect on the environment, a 2010 Congressional Budget Office study found that corn-based ethanol subsidies are terribly inefficient, with the government spending an estimated $754 per metric ton of avoided emissions—an astronomically high price tag compared with other policies. (The economics of climate change literature estimates the “social cost of carbon” at far lower levels, meaning the program is inefficient even on its own terms.)
