You can resist an unlawful arrest. But good luck with that in the real world.

"Even if Trump is indicted in one of his legal battles, the polling suggests he could still defeat Biden."

He's already been indicted. 4 times.

So you say you're a dreamer. Well you're not the only one. ---would be great if people could get into a 1200sf starter home for under 500k in my area.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.

Who the eff are all these marxists, communists, socialists, etc., wielding all this incredible power in the US and how do they stay so hidden? Deep state? But isn't the deep state mostly rich white guys pulling the strings?

Hypocrites. Time and time and time again. A story as old as dinosaurs--so approximately 10,000 years.

These P25 people are just so...hateful. Carrying all that hate seems like it would not be fun.

I suspect no significant change will occur until wealthy people from wealthy countries are forced to abandon homes in coastal areas, or some similar worldwide phenomenon occurs.

I love shitting on Texas and Florida and, well every southern state, and most of the Midwest, and quite a few states out west, but as someone who lives in one of these areas I like to remind everyone that's there's a lot of decent people living in those states. That is all.

Wasn't attempting to get anyone to change their mind. Simply pointing out the misstatement in the article.

Hey AG Ken Paxton, what happened to less government in private affairs? This is a parenting issue. Are you now all for the nanny state? Or is it the ol double standard of government interference is ok but only in the matters which you say it's ok? Maybe concentrate on all those pending criminal charges, or the whistleblower lawsuit, or the illegal dealings with donors, and get your hand out of everyone's pants.

This is wonderfully generous; though, it illuminates the outrageous costs of education in the US. We as a society should value education as intrinsically valuable and even if not, a more educated populace is valuable in so many ways, not the least being economically.

Us vs them, militarization, and not aiming to employ the best and brightest, all factors noted or alluded to in the article, will not change until there is outside oversight and consequences.

College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.

"She also said: 'I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for."'

I don't condone the alleged actions but I'd rather not have the 18y.o. kid/young adult's bad choices splayed across national media outlets. Unfortunately for him, while he didn't ask for the public attention, his mother's incessant need for attention all but guarantees anything he does will not stay a private or just locally known matter. His "public challenges" likely would not be so public but for his mother's narcissism.

"Alberta's young working population and more jobs with higher wages has resulted in Albertans over-contributing tens of billions into the CPP compared to the benefits we've received," states a Government of Alberta video promoting the creation of an Alberta pension plan.

Aren't the high wages (and young people) predominately because oil/gas? Are those not national natural resources?
