Re: End of a love affair: AM radio is being removed from many cars - 14 days ago

QuoteOmbligo Now the wacko talk radio will start buying up FM stations. They rake in too much money to go off the air. The wackos are already on FM. You never heard of Clear Channel?? (a.k.a. "iHeartMedia") Thanks to deregulation, they own or control the content of nearly every radio station in the country. Whatever you hear in Podunck, it's under the direction of the same people who

I have two AM stations that I tune into. They’re broadcast from NY. I’ve been able to receive their broadcasts as far south as North Carolina. It’s nice having those stations from home available to me when I’m so far away.

QuoteCarnos Jax QuoteLemon Drop I don't think that went down like the public heard. I suspect little of his own cash went into that deal. You are aware he sold billions of dollars worth of his own stock in Tesla to help pay for the purchase? It's interesting how he financed it. He owned nearly 10% of Twitter via stock purchases prior to the acquisition. For the rest, he initially put

Re: Weak gun law enforcement in Chicago does not help - 16 days ago

Scalia made it all up. There was no legal precedent for an individual right to bear arms and the entire history of the drafting of that clause contradicts the logic he used to create the "operative clause" BS. Madison was rolling over in his grave that day. What an activist judge pretending to be an originalist makes up while taking massive payoffs from the gun lobbies, a true

Re: Why we own guns - 19 days ago

QuoteSmote SCOTUS is very reluctant to reverse a prior decision. It doesn't happen very often at all. It sets up the belief that a group of SC justices make mistakes, and can over rule those before them at will. So unless the law changes drastically, the rulings can't change, according to my understanding. Once again, any lawyers want to chime in with their understanding of how SCOTUS operate
