Today was the fist time I was able to take my Ruger 10 22 out for a little fun. We also took a pink cricket out as well, but I forgot the gun lock for the cricket, so the girls were unable to shot it.
This is what a .22 can do to a hard drive. A couple of these shots were done by my 9 year old daughter (Punk #2). I thought that maybe the .22 would not be able to penetrate the steel, but as you can see it made the drives unusable. (This is the first of …
The house of representatives…can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society.

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had failed very few students, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

After the first test the grades were averaged, everyone got a C. The students who studied hard …
In an essay entitled “On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor” published in 1776 (cool year to publish stuff). Ben talks about how taxes and tariffs are hurting the farmers.
