BTW; When I joined back in 1970, no one could become a member without being recomended by another member, that changed after the NRA decided that to save the second amendment they would have to get into politics, something that they had not done before.
#79 Shannon, she could have called me, I’m a “Benefactor Member” the highest membership that there is, that said, the number that I posted was one that Tom Gresham had set up just for him so that all his listeners could join under his name. The reason he set it up is that when he called he had to wait 25 minutes because everyone and his brother was trying to join.
In case you didn’t know this already, here’s a report that shows how the Community Reinvestment Act was the catalyst that destroyed our economy. Here are some logical questions that leave no doubt in my mind that blaming the CRA is nothing more than a worn out, tired meme without any merit: • Did the 1977 legislation, or any other legislation since, require banks to not verify income or payment history of mortgage applicants? • 50% of subprime loans were made by mortgage service companies not subject comprehensive federal supervision; another 30% were made by banks or thrifts which are… Read more »
My wife joined the NRA a couple of weeks ago. She said a lifetime member must recommend you to qualify for a lifetime membership. So she blew it off and got a 3 year.
She probably knows five hundred people that would do that for her but thought it was a stupid hoop to jump through.

Here’s an interesting story about the dismissal of Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis, commander CentCom.
Mattis is famous for his blunt style and blistering aphorisms — “be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet” was his clear-headed advice to the Marines he led during the treacherous Iraq War.

Sadly, the story says the documentation comes mostly from the states and this is predominatly from Kalifornia so if the waste gets any public attention they’ll just quit documenting it.
While solar is a far less polluting energy source than coal or natural gas, many panel makers are nevertheless grappling with a hazardous waste problem. Fueled partly by billions in government incentives, the industry is creating millions of solar panels each year and, in the process, millions of pounds of polluted sludge and contaminated water.
To dispose of the material, the companies must transport it by truck or rail far from their own plants to waste facilities hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of miles away.

I’m listening to “Gun Talk” and Tom gave out the number to call to become a NRA Life Member for only $300 instead of $1000. The number is; (888) 678-7894. One guy called in and has bought memberships for all his kid/grandkids, (13)! Over the years, I’ve given them to son, daughter & son-in-law. Daughter-in-law is next. 😉

It changed my tool bar sor I ran anti virus and restated the computer several times and every time that I went to a site it would go into some kind of loop and I coudn’t stop it! Finally I went to the control panel and uninstalled everthing that was installed today (7 items). So after about an hour I’m back in business. 🙁

Grammy-winning musician Steve Vaus, creator of the Buck Howdy character, has recorded a new song that defies those advocating gun confiscation to “come and take it.” Invoking the spirit of the Texas battle for independence, the song declares, “Come and take it if you want it. Come and take it if you think you can. Come and take it, but we’ll warn you, you’ll have to pry it from our cold, dead hands.”

MIL’s Memorial Service was a great celebration of her life. Discounting numerous technical issues trying to play homemade DVD’s of the videos Sweetie made it went very well. Several folks spoke and from the heart, including my son – don’t know where he gets that from, certainly not me. Lots of food, music and fellowship.
HEADLINE:DHS Watchdog OKs ‘Suspicionless’ Seizure of Electronic Devices Along Border /snip
According to legal precedent, the Fourth Amendment — the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures — does not apply along the border. By the way, the government contends the Fourth-Amendment-Free Zone stretches 100 miles inland from the nation’s actual border.
First it is people crossing the border then it is people along the border then it is people within 100 frikken miles of the border, what next, 1000 miles from the border???
