So the WSM had 80-100 rds through it but the action has no rounds....?

First, the worst thing a Dem admin can do is reinstate the tax to $200. The $200 figure is in the text of the NFA, to increase it would require amending the statute itself, so unless you get Dems with full control of both House and Senate with a filibuster proof majority, that can't happen.

As the NFA was only upheld as a tax act, a $0 tax essentially makes the act unconstitutional on it's face, at least as it applies to the 0 tax items. Lawsuit to remove it inbound already.

Some stuff I made last year

So now it's over, and we got partially shafted, sadly by the worst part of partial.

On the up side, a whole lot of my taxable income has been obliterated by the SALT thing.

It was far from a 'perfect' bill. But it did some really good things.

And proved that the Republicans can get things through that matter. AND they managed to put a lot of Trump's EO's into law. So much for him being a king and ruling by fiat.

And the best part is that we have at least another year + to look at the things that BBB did not do well enough... and have BBB 2.0. Or lots of little bills. That the democrats can rail against all they want. But they can be passed.

BBB is not the 'end' of legislation for this Congress. It is the beginning.

And it's a hell of a lot more than King Potato von Autopen did AT ALL... except to rule by executive orders. Oh, wait... he didn't know what time it was and thought he was a fireman or a stoat. Our government was in the hands of unelected American Socialist Party scum who controlled the Autopen. And their party Congress went along with it for four years... lying to protect their cabal and their autopen.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic... but this is a start. Not an end.

And while the republicans are off to a pretty good start, the left is dying on the hill of supporting Illegal Criminal Aliens, Transing children, Killing Babies, Cheering for Muslim Atom Bombs and Hamas. All things that are wildly unpopular with the American public.

Oh and their USAID and other money has been cut off.... billions used to subvert America. And their illegal voters are being sent home (or self-deporting). Their 'ersatz grass roots astroturf' organizations are being defunded and may be held accountable for fraud and worse.

So while I'd have liked to see some more in the BBB... and some less. I'm going to call it a win and ask for (hope for? Demand?) more wins.

Cheers,

Bump For 762SS! Thanks!

And the best thing I ever did was to trick this magnificent creature into marrying me over 32 years ago.

The fatigue is real..

When my grandson changed my entire worldview

Mama was sick with stage four lung cancer here, the last trip she ever took. My mom, younger sister and yours truly.

Is it Crying Chuck? Or Lying Chuck? Or Lying Crying Chuck? I like door number 3!




And liar.

And CNN will parrot it like it's your grandma losing here healthcare. That is if your grandma survived being locked up in an active COVID ward to die before she cost the state of NY any more money.

That they need to spend on illegals who will illegally vote for Chuck and his muslim buddies.

More proof that Democrats are smarter than Republicans. Democrats know that to contain their political activity to areas where they control the judges and the police.

In one sense I have great admiration for the J6ers. But going to the heart of the deep state to protest deep state corruption was never going to work.

I'm sorry for this family. I'm sorry America had come to this. Hope we all enjoyed the fireworks with our new Mexican friends

They were tricked by government agents undercover in the crowd posing as agitators, as we all know. I know plenty of folks tried to pull the tarp off of that one, but they couldn't get anywhere with it. Democrats are demonic.

Sirhr,
The thing here is your talking about having a relatively thin piece of oak bent, versus a 2 ½" to 3" thick handrail. Something else I notice is the handrail shown in the video is completely finished as in stained and varnished. I worked residential construction for 35 years and never saw a handrail done like that, makes me wonder if that handrail in not actually wood, but some composite material.

Click to expand...

Yeah, I watched the video once I was on my computer, and it looks like it's some kind of wood-like composite. I also thought it might be some kind of wierd Asian wood that is very soft and pliable.

But those blankets don't seem to have any way of introducing water or moisture. They are heat blankets, designed to soften resin. Not 'steam' wood until its pliable.

So I'd say you are right on. Extruded resin-with wood-like grain in it. Once heated, it becomes spaghetti-like and can form around anything! No way they are doing that with milled wood. (We finish top bows AFTER they are bent. They come as full-dimension 2 x 4's bent in big U-shapes. If you are 'good' with the band saw, you can get two bows out of one bent piece.

There is an old saying that Rolls-Royce spent 30 years and millions of dollars to try and make wood look like plastic. And Ford spent 30 years and millions of dollars to try and make plastic look like wood! Looks like the asians perfected the latter. No surprise!

Cheers

I used to be a pretty good photographer. The controversy then was on enhanced photos with software….shoot now you don’t know what is real or from the mind of Skynet.
