Existing franchisees who plan to maintain their current footprint or who buy a franchise from another operator, as well as those who rebuild existing locations or transfer their franchise to a family member, will not be affected by the price hike.

Isn’t that a taxable event?

What’s wrong with “juvenile” justice!

Monday, October 30, 2023

The teen was arrested nearby for the execution-style slaying and charged with second-degree murder as a juvenile — meaning that he faced up to 15 years behind bars, rather than the maximum of 25 years to life for an adult defendant.

Sorry but a person accused of “murder” should never be tried as a “juvenile”!

Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By Hank Vanderbeek

*** begin quote ***

Blizovsky told the Times he believes the atrocities committed by Hamas could have been avoided if more Israeli civilians had firearms.

Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim. You never know when something like an inhumane attack on the homeland will happen. We have open borders through which illegal immigrants pour in from the entire world. We are not just talking about refugees from Central America and Mexico. Deranged Middle Easterners are entering unfettered. What are their plans? Entire terror cells could be walking across the borders.

Don’t believe someone who tells you to give up your guns to make society safe. The Second Amendment allows us to keep and bears arms to keep us safe, not to take our arms to keep us safe. 

In the end, Stern said the Israeli government’s restriction on civilian firearms ownership cost hundreds of civilian lives. That grave injustice should never be forgotten.

Sorry, but the Gooferment is the “gang that can’t shoot straight” and can’t protect its citizens.  The police come after the fact and draw chalk lines around the dead victims.  

We need to go back to the Old West ethic that everyone is responsible for “keeping the peace”.

Everyone needs to be armed at all times if they feel capable of doing it.
