Apologies if this has already been covered, but Gab social media platform CEO, Andrew Torba, said that it seems that Thomas Crooks obtained an account on the alt-right site and used it to post pro Biden messages. This comes after an FBI request for records pertaining to that account.
 
If diversity is a strength, why is the NBA anything but? Why not add an Asian and a Hispanic and more white guys?

Diversity is an excuse. A happy face on quotas. A way to acknowledge the fact that some are just better than others but you want the less equal to have a spot that they are neither qualified to have or have earned themselves.
Yes, as a child, I thought it only fair for me to be the next Stan Musial. Those darn pitchers kept throwing me curve balls and the Cardinals never called me.
 
Man, disappointed in that video. I was looking for something like the video years ago of the father who was faking a call at the phones in the airport when the police were bringing back some predator who abused (killed?) his son. Walked up to him and blew him away.

Just knew that someone in one of those cars would do the same.
 
It doesn't defy reason or logic. It's exactly what they wrote, intentionally. Citizen is specified all over the Constitution. If they meant that they would have said it there too. They specifically meant to include noncitizens. That clause is very specific.
What does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean, Karl? That’s pretty specific, isn’t it?

Besides, “shall not be infringed” is very damn specific, as is “prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. It’s funny that it’s only when you seek to promote something that destroys the country that you want to go by the letter.

It’s easy. They’re communists.

Once you accept this reality, everything they say and do becomes crystal clear.
I was telling people back in the late 70s and early 80s that the Democratic party would get worse and worse. Once they started going all in on abortion, the moral roadblocks were gone and they've gone further and further down since.

You mean registered Republican Thomas Crooks?

Crypto-Codes, distinguishing Eastern Bloc aircraft from just cockpit noise, tracking 100 plus aircraft at a time, with four active frequencies in your headphones (2 in each ear), was child's play compared to the difficulty of learning morse code (which we had to test on, even though we never used it once on the job.) Seriously, f*** Morse Code.

Ever heard of some dudes named Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Domantas Sabonis or Reed Shepherd?? There's definitely white guys balling in the NBA.
The NBA is also completely merit/talent based. The military and government are not. Just about ANYONE can join the military or apply for a government job.
The military should reflect the citizens of the nation they are defending.
The government should reflect the citizens they are representing.
Saying there are not qualified people of all races to participate in our government and/or military is racist as hell.

So Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona is now the frontrunner for VP pick according to bets.
Would not be surprised. Kamala desperately needs Arizona to have a chance (in a fair election). But Trump is in pretty solid shape in Arizona right now. Will be interesting to see how much of a swing Kelly might bring.

It's like watching a rooster walk around on a grid, while everyone waits to see which numbered square he's going to poop on...
 
Blacks have been in the military....forever.

Women have been in the military....forever, or at least since the civil war.

Your ignorance is truly baffling.
You are ignorant as hell to the world around you and it's history. Serving in the military and being fully integrated are two completely different things fool. Educate yourself better before spewing garbage and nonsense.
Read up if you are able....

During World War I, African American service in the Navy was restricted to support duties, though ships remained integrated. After the war, the Navy banned black recruitment until 1932. By 1940, the Navy had 4,000 African American sailors, just 2.3% of its total manpower. This number increased to more than 5,000 in early 1942, but black sailors were still relegated to service as stewards, waiters, cooks, and cleaning crew. Black women were not allowed in the Navy until 1945. Even then, only four African American women served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. These were among a maximum quota of 48 African American nurses allowed in all of the U.S. military during the war.

The Marine Corps allowed recruitment of African Americans beginning in June 1942. At first, they received segregated training and served in all-black units, though battalions would integrate by the end of World War II. Nearly 8,000 black Marines served in the Pacific Theater, performing particularly well at the Battle of Saipan (September 1944). After the war, the Marine Corps scaled back, resulting in 2,000 remaining African Americans in the service.

During World War II, over 2.5 million African Americans registered for the draft and many volunteered, serving prominently in segregated units within the Army and Army Air Corps. Notable among these were the Buffalo Soldiers, 93rd Infantry Division, 761st Tank Battalion, 452nd Anti-Aircraft Battalion, and 332nd Fighter Group (Tuskegee Airmen). In addition, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion became the first entirely African-American female unit deployed overseas.

By the end of World War II, 992 black pilots had been trained for duty and more than one million African Americans had served in the U.S. Army and Women’s Army Corps. None would receive the Medal of Honor until 1992, when President Bill Clinton honored seven men with the award, all but one of them posthumously.

In late 1945, in response to a study of race policies in the Army, the federal government’s Gillem Board made eighteen recommendations for improving the treatment of black soldiers. Although both the Army and the Navy announced policies of integration and equal rights in early 1946, and the War Department directed the services to adopt such policies in May, elements within every service resisted integration, leading to a sharp decline in African-American enlistment.

In response to racial unrest erupting across the country in 1946, President Harry S. Truman formed a committee to study the problem. In 1947, the Army replaced segregated training programs with integrated courses. The next year, Lt. John E. Rudder became the first African American commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. When Congress received the final directive from the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, it refused to act on recommendations to integrate the military. In response, Truman issued Executive Order 9981, directing equal treatment for black service members.

Despite Truman’s Executive Order, military leaders largely refused to adopt the new policies. It was not until April 1949, that the services made progress toward integration and equal rights within the military. The impetus came from Defense Secretary Louis Johnson, who directed the services to adopt Truman’s order as official military policy. In response, the Air Force issued a “bill of rights” for black servicemen, the Navy moved to integrate and expand recruitment of African American sailors, and the Marine Corps ended segregation in training.

While the transition from segregation in the military proceeded gradually, integrated units in the Army, Air Force, and Marines were present and fought valiantly during the Korean conflict, with two African American soldiers receiving the Medal of Honor. As a result of rising acceptance and active recruitment, the number of black Marines grew from 1,525 in 1949 to 17,000 in 1953. In 1954, the Army became the last service to fully integrate upon deactivation of the 94th Engineer Battalion.
