Nature Boy 2.0 replied to Benny4352's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
We just spent a lot of time obtaining my wife's dual citizenship. Mostly so if we follow thru with our plan to move to the Philippines, it allowes her to own land and sponsor my visa -

Going for a second pass to kill wounded survivors is not what we were taught is ok, in the military. Its tantamount to killing a fighter pilot who recently ejected -

Have you forgotten how to speak NB. ? He told drug dealers, leave Davao now on your own or you will leave in a box. Or words to that effect. He backed it up also. Like I said Davao went from being one of the most dangerous cities on earth to being one of. The safest. Sorry I can't link this it is the AI summary Rodrigo Duterte was known as an exceptionally strict, "iron-fisted" mayor of Davao City (not Duval), earning nicknames such as "The Punisher" and "Duterte Harry". His approach to law and order was characterized by rigid enforcement of city ordinances and a brutal crackdown on crime, which significantly reduced the city's crime rates but drew widespread condemnation from international human rights groups. Key aspects of his strictness as mayor include: Zero-Tolerance Policies: Duterte enforced a range of strict local ordinances, including a 10 p.m. curfew for minors, a public smoking ban, and anti-littering rules. He once reportedly forced a South Korean tourist to eat a cigarette for violating the smoking ban. "Davao Death Squad": The most controversial aspect of his tenure was the alleged operation of the Davao Death Squad (DDS), a group of vigilantes accused of extrajudicial killings of hundreds of suspected criminals, drug dealers, and street children. While Duterte denied a direct link, human rights organizations found that members of the local police and city government were allegedly involved in paying these killers, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently pursuing charges against him related to these killings. Personal Involvement: Duterte often engaged in fiery rhetoric and claimed personal involvement in killing criminals to prove his resolve. He once stated he would personally reward anyone who shot and killed a drug dealer. Authoritarian Style: His leadership was described as authoritarian and populist, allowing little room for criticism from local media or the public. Public Safety Infrastructure: On the governance side, he established a state-of-the-art 911 emergency response center and a Public Safety and Security command center with extensive camera surveillance, the first of its kind in the Philippines, which contributed to the perception of increased safety among residents. His tough-on-crime reputation made him hugely popular in Davao, and the "Davao model" of governance was a primary factor that propelled him to the presidency in 2016. -

For those of you married to a Filippina, you already know who Rodrigo Duterte is. A past president of the Philippines. Prior to that he was the mayor of a town called Davao. He was elected by a landslide. When he was elected Davao was one of the most dangerous cities in the world. When he left office it was one of the safest. He announced, "Drug dealers use now or you will leave in a box." He with his no nonsense approach to fighting crime and corruption are legendary. He was a very popular President also. If you committed crim the punishment was swift and harsh. The son of Fernidand Marcos came to power. He is super corrupt. Duterte was a thorn in his side. The current President let the international criminal court go into Davao and arrest Duterte and charge him with crimes against humanity. Extrajudicial killings. He remains locked up in the Hauge. -

Saying its ok by pointing out something an opposition president did in the past is a MDL tactic. -

I am glad we are wiping them out, just saying this is very close Its a dilemma for sure , but there is a reason criminals are set free even with overwhelming proof of guilt. if that proof was gotten illegally. If a state patrol office has indisputable evidence a vehicle is carrying drugs, he can't just blow them off the road. I know it being a foreign govt and in intl waters, muddy the water a bit. Still its an overreach -

What is everyone's take on this. I personally think we are crossing a line. Extrajudicial killings are not what our country is all about -
Going over to.my best bud and his wife is best bud also. I have been eating Thanksgiving with them for many years. I will smoke 3 smaller pork loins. Also make some of the best Mac and cheese ever. The secret to good Mac and cheese is, dont be stingy with the cheese. War. Some milk add some eggs, flour a pinch of paprika. Stir until its really warm and add what seems like too much cheese then add some more. When its ready put it in a baking dish. Cover it with cheese and a little mozzarella. Cook until done. My best corn muffins ever. Make corn muffins the normal way. Add sour cream and canned corn to the mix, cook until golden brown. They will have taste of a corn muffin with the texture of a soft warm yeast roll.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Quits Congress
Nature Boy 2.0 replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
She is up to something. She has been hitting all the talk shows. She has been on the view and real time. I had always thought of her as a Crack pot but she sounded normal on the shows. Have any of you watched real time lately. Bill has made a sharp turn to the middle. He gets really annoyed when guests point out he is becoming conservative. His show is one of my favorite now. Guy makes a lot of sense. -
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hegseth-bashes-sen-kellys-display-military-medals-calls/story?id=127862110 Trump might want to think this thru. The optics of calling out a war hero, astronaut, is going to back fire on them. Mark Kelly said some that had been taught to at many points is my military career including my office basic course. What he said is absolute fact and part of the UCMJ. This one isn't going to play out well.
