Overall, we rate RedState borderline Questionable and strongly Right Biased, based on story se******n that always favors the right and use of emotionally loaded (sensationalized) headlines. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing of information and several failed fact checks. (7/19/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 2/05/2021)

It might be a coincidence, so don't bet the bank on that. The very definition of a shooting vs a mass shooting vs a multiple shooting has been somewhat conflated. So if you want to nail down the term "most", you have to include all possible shootings into your new math problem.

I think you would be on firm ground with some kind of statement claiming a belief that many are in Democrat controlled cities.

Personally, I think we are seeing a general result of a criminal population who are believing they can now just plain old get away with doing wh**ever they want due to a perceived turning away from law and order by society.

While watering my hanging baskets today...I ALMOST stepped on this little fellow...It seemed to have an injury to it right side...I reached out and gently touched it's forehead...it didn't seem to mind...so I ran back inside, got the camera with a 18x135 lens and shot these at "pointblank range"....after a few shots...it hopped away...as I went back to the house....a CROW wanted to make it LUNCH...."not in MY yard".....I chased to crow away with a warning....."you come back here....you can eat LEAD!" no cropping or other enhancement's were done

I am not usually a person who pays much attention to roses. I realize they are the favorite of many but I have never thought them to be any more beautiful than many other flowers that do not get the attention roses do.

But while buying some bulbs the other day to put in some planters I noticed these roses growing in a special greenhouse at the nursery. One of the clerks was ecstatic when I asked if I could take photos so I took these at the time with my iPhone since my Nikon D800 is up for sale. I think they came out rather well. Almost all are simply cropped, straight out of phone, as it were.

Enjoy,

Actually, it does work that way. The Arab nations are, by and large, tired of the millstone that the Palestinians are to them. They are also afraid of Iran and those who signed accords with Israel did so for their own safety. Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem, recognized it as the capitol of Israel, recognized Judea and Samaria as not being Palestinian territory. He put the Palestinians on notice that they were losing ground with him and the world. Unfortunately, the Palestinians see Biden as weak, and they took the opportunity to attack. It would not have happened under Trump. In fact, have you noticed the lack of support for Gaza from the other Arab countries? Have you heard a word of support for Iranian backed Gaza from the countries that made peace with Israel?

Yes, creating a peace requires that the involved players come to the table. Trump was forcing the Palestinians to the table by taking things from them (death by a thousand cuts theory) as they resisted. Under Biden, who promised to restore funds that Trump cut from them, they feel that they don't need to be peace partners in good faith.
