Did he actually go Swallwell, and say that nuking Oklahoma is on the table?

. . . Was he reading from a teleprompter?   Is he still able to read?. . .
I'm pretty sure there was a teleprompter, and he was clearly struggling to read from it. As recently as last year he appeared to be doing OK in that regard, so there seems to be accelerating deterioration of his mental faculties.

I noticed Biden mentioned that over 3 million people were denied approval to buy a gun by the existing background check system - but of course he made no mention of the fact that virtually NO people who were CORRECTLY denied approval (e.g., convicted felons, illegal aliens, etc.) were prosecuted for illegally attempting to purchase a firearm.

He also made no mention of penalties for people who lie on the Federal gun purchase form. (Whew - Hunter is relieved.)
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I'm reading 300,000 people.

Three million seems high even for a longer period. Biden is known to "slightly exaggerate" though.

And yeah, Hunter gets a free pass again.

I have heard people speculate that he has someone talking to him via an earpiece.  I figure if someone is trying to talk with you while you are reading a teleprompter or trying to answer a question, that could be distracting even if you were normal.

Cute, but that's not an F-15.

Yep, it's an AR-15

But I thought I ordered a F-14 with the thing that goes up.

I would look at the Palmetto State Armory listing, but it is likely sold out already.

Go whole-hog and get the F-22 Raptor.  It's stealth, new and much more capable.  F-15s are near 50 year old designs and the air frames are not that strong.  One broke apart in midflight fifteen years ago.

Do you need to transfer the F-15 through an FFL?  Maybe a curio/relic license would help.  Maybe we can also lobby to get the Air Force to turn over F-15's to the CMP.

Anyone seen any good deals on A-10s?
