Polygraphs don't detect lying, they detect people feeling guilty over lying. Which is why passing one indicates your suitability to work for the CIA.
Not even that. They detect variation from an established baseline, which is why you can totally fuck them up by clenching your butt during the baseline questions. They are pseudoscience on the level of scientologist e-meters, but they have an immense amount of cultural inertia behind them, so people still believe they work.
 
So why was it discontinued? Not trying to be an ass, but before we go into trying to revive the old stuff, let’s read up on any health hazards. No need to jump onto the fire, right?
Dibble had a number personal tragedies when Bakelite was invented a few years after him. He was an individual industrialist while Bakelite and plastics as they came to be were mass adopted and funded by institutional chemical companies to ensure it's economy of scale. Hemacite depended on livestock for their supply of blood and his woodstock and albumin which was subject to a varying supply from other industries with already established supply chains for other products derived from animal blood like fertilizers notwithstanding any risks of disease or other factors affecting supply of livestock and lumber. Oil and petrochemicals were assured constant reliable supply by billions of barrels year over year with already being recognized a resource of national strategic importance. Leo Baekeland who invented Bakelite was a fellow of the American Chemical Society and a special appointed professor and Columbia University so you imagine the connections he had.
 
The Laken Riley act is about to get signed
Now that I've spent 30 seconds. I think it should have had an amendment to go the other way as well. Law enforcement in states who fail to obey a detainer would get punished as well. Although there's probably some pesky "state's rights" and "constitutional" issues with that.
 
Why does this feel like a threat?
the only loyal constituents the democratic party has left are miserable, fucked up people who want your life to be as much as a train wreck as theirs

Give me hats but so many people in this thread have room temperature IQ.
jokes on you. i just turned the heat in my room really high so i have the highest room temperature IQ out of them all
 
China is investing in the developing world. As American hegemony recedes, China will fill the gap. (They just opened a $1.3 billion dollar port in Peru, among others)
Google “empire of dust” and watch it
Holly shit. Fatpacks really is Jim Cramer
Fatpacks please say for me “America will never be an all white country”
 
Roger Marshall of Kansas' 1st congressional district
"vaccines are a critical issue, but I don't think RFK can be more clear that he doesn't want to fight vaccines"
"This Make America Healthy Again is palpable to me"
"why are 20% of our children on a proscription drug"
"under JFK only 3% of Americans were obese... in Japan it is still 3%"
"The change to highly chemically intensive foods...10,000 chemicals are allowed in US foods, there are about 400 in Europe"
"These companies already make products for Europe and Canada"
"there isn't good science to study these things, and that is a deliberate choice"
"This is an existential threat"
"we need to fix our food supply"
"how do you feel about farmers and ranchers, they respond to the market"
"Senator Hawley told me about how most of his brother-in-laws are farmers, 4 of the 5 have parkinson's"
"we see this around country communities, cancer, auto-immune, and obesity"
"some chemicals used by farmers kill the microbiome of the soil, which causes erosion... water pools up, then it washes it away."
"they are using seeds and chemicals, which over the long term, cost them and us"
"We need the farmers as partners, if this is going to work"
"I don't want one farm to go out of business"
"we want to help farmers transition to regenerative farming, no-til etc."
"the chemical industry, herbicide companies agree, we are on that track, we just want to speed it up"
"Kansas already does regenerative practices"
"God has a divine plan for you" - so based
 
Yes and no. By joining the service, the military won't do your immigration paperwork for you. I served with a Columbian and a Ghanian that weren't US citizens. Command gave them resources and help with studying for and doing all the paperwork for citizenship. Within about a year and a half, they both gained their citizenship.

When you hear about illegals that served for 10 years and then have been living illegally in the US for another 20, that's literally only because they were too lazy to do paperwork. If they wanted to be citizens, they would be already.
Illegals have no direct path to citizenship. Legal immigrants can get citizenship through service, but if you are not legal you are shit out of luck. You can’t even get a green card through marriage. Your only option is deportation and then applying for a visa after five years.
 
It is so crazy how energetic Trump is at 78. He doesn't skip a beat at all these public appearances unlike that senile pedophile Biden who was also 78 when he took office. I would say the four year break between office was good for him if it wasn't for all the lawfare bullshit and being shot. I hope he can maintain this momentum for a bit.

That is part of their plan.

But none of these plans are going to pan out the way the creators think. See: Globalism

50 years from now is a complete mystery.
