While speaking to reporters, Schumer renewed his call for a ban on ghost guns. Hold up a card showing main components of a handgun, he stated that not even the big parts like the barrel and the stock require a background check. Unfortunately he as he said barrel, he pointed to the slide and...
I have a Sig P226 that I have been real happy with. They make a 22 conversion kit for it too. I also have a P230 (mentioned above) and find I am more accurate with the P226. Of course I have have had a lot more practice with the P226. Cant beat the quality.
NYS (outside of the cities) have plenty of private wells. I have owned 3 homes and never had municipal water. Years ago I found plans on the web for a lang draw, manual pump. The cost was around $90. Mostly PVC construction with a foot valve. I ran the pipe 90' down into my well and am able...
Matthew McConaughey says coronavirus has been 'hijacked' by 'partisan politics,' calls for unity
I am so glad Matthew has called for unity. It means so much to me for a Hollywood elite to speak out on politics. The end of the global pandemic is in sight now that Matt has gotten involved. I...
I have kept pet antibiotics on hand for years. Keep in mind, not all meds are created equal. There are far less in way of quality control for pet meds, expecially those from China. If you purchase from amazon or ebay, make sure you go with a name brand or one you can research to determine its...
Face it, no one in the city cares if their rights are stepped on as a result of this virus. If they did, there would be protests. People would stand up and make a statement. Have you seen any do it? They do in other cities and states.
In upstate many are simply ignoring orders sent down...
Cardboard cutouts of a person with a gun in each window. Recording of loud, angry dogs barking playing through the outdoor speakers. Put my kids out in chairs in front of the house (they would scare anyone away.) Paid the police to drive by the house every 20 minutes or so. Took the tank out...
Should be easy. If you have 2 cast iron pans of the same size, invert one over the other and place on the stove. The area inside of the 2 pans will act as an oven. It would work best if you have a thermometer to monitor the temp and adjust as required.
Mine is in in her last semester at Binghamton. She lives off campus and since no cases have been reported, has decided to stay in Binghamton for now. What has her most upset is that her graduation ceremony could be cancelled.
There are several petitions and local politicians are all opposed to the merger. Regardless, the more people object and speak out, the better the chance of preventing Cuomo from getting his own way.
Oppose the merger. It is a Cuomo money grab. Write your NY politicians or better yet, attend the open hearing tonight at 7pm at the Poughkeepsie Grand hotel and voice your opinion.
Great idea, merge the Bridge Authority with the Thruway Authority then, raise the bridge authority tolls from $1.50 to 4 or 5 dollars and use the extra money to pay for the Tappan Zee Bridge. Why shouldn't the Hudson Valley residents pay for a bridge somewhere else... Its the great NYS way...
I grew up in Kingston. Back in the day, everyone considered Poughkeepsie a little worse than Kingston, Newburgh a little worse than Poughkeepsie and points south worse than Newburgh. As the years went by, the new norm for Kingston was what Poughkeepsie had been like, the new norm for...
I have a Stoeger Uplander side by side. I always liked the style. Price was not bad but some would question the quality. I recently saw a Stoeger coach in stainless. Nice looking but probably kicks like a mule.
The Bridge Authority has operated in the Black for nearly 80 years. Tolls are lower today than they were when the Mid Hudson bridge first opened. It was 90 cents to cross the bridge but the toll was charged in each direction. All money from the tolls goes to the Bridge Authority and pays for...
History has shown plenty of disrespect for laws. As the masses sway back and forth, a majority can come to feel a law is unjust and through popular opinion, come to ignore it or its original meaning. It is not how things should be but it happens. Back in the day, in somewhere-usa, there was a...
My wife and I are retiring this year and planning on purchasing a 5th wheel camper. I bought the truck to haul it this past November. The plan it to head out for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. The ultimate goal is to hit the 3700 mile national park loop over several trips. Hoping to take off on the...
My wife and I were thinking of retiring to SC. After driving the coast and inland a bit, we decided its too flat. I really like the mountains in NY but obviously hate the taxes and crap out of Albany. We are taking a serious look at WV. It is a depressed state financially and the school...
Taking out the right 2 or 3 stations can knock out power for large sections of the US. In 2003, overgrown trees at a plant in Ohio took out a large section of the North East. Yes, power was restored within a day or two but, large disruptions are possible. Blackout hits Northeast United States
After losing a few costly knives, I went with a simple Gerber Skeleton knife. You can pick one up anywhere between $12 and $20. I have kept this one in my pocket for over 4 years and use it almost every day. It holds an edge and is fairly easy to sharpen. It is available in both serrated and...
Even if you had to replace the springs or mags every 5 to 10 years, not a big deal. I have a mini14 for which the mags have been loaded for over 25 years. They still function perfectly.
Plastic containers and cardboard. With plastic becoming banned at some point. Cardboard will biodegrade. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5 cent charge unless you bring your own container.
Next month plastic containers will be banned. The following month, cardboard containers will be banned. Soon, takeout food will be placed in your hand to take home.
People smart enough to and able to invest are seeing huge gains. Most people are making more and paying less. However, the poor, while maybe making more, still do not feel they make enough. Their answers tend to be negative. As long as there are those that make more and those that make less...
Bloomberg is an arrogant SOB. However, a lot of people in and outside of NY thought he did a good job as mayor. He is probably stronger than any of the Dem candidates. Considering he was a 'republican' when he served as mayor of NY, he could pull some of the republican vote across the...
The key words are "reasonably believe". In the middle of the night, I hear an unfamiliar voice call from downstairs "hello?" Not sure if its the next door neighbors drunk kid or someone there to rob me. Is it reasonable to believe that a stranger in my house at 2am is there to rob me? A...
