"Did Tyler Robinson really grow up in a "traditional nuclear family?" He grew up in a family whose faith is based on a book written in the 19th century that claims native Americans are a lost tribe of Israel. This religion was chased from the Midwest all the way out to Utah. Is it any wonder Tyler Robinson finally freaked out? Tyler Robinson grew up in a family that were members of heretical cult. Nice try though."

"These are serious issues and to dismiss these very cogent points do not help. The bottom line is the lack of strong male role models and the introduction of very powerful THC products is very problematic. Rather than “shooting the messenger” let’s agree that we have serious issues with some young males and females who are trying to find their way. Violence by young Males will accelerate if we don’t understand what’s at work here. We all need to understand and realize that this is a very real problem being faced by our young and complicating it further is Social Media and Smartphones. Thank you Mr Cuff for speaking to this issue. Our future society will succeed or fail depending on how we address many of these challenges and your friends and families safety may depend on it going forward."

""When someone commits an act of random violence, (usually a male in his 20’s) we fail to collect and analyze key data points that could inform evidence-based solutions."
You can find over 4,400,000 references on Google Scholar to studies that talk about "risk factors for violence". The above quote is just absolute nonsense.
The CDC publishes mounds of information on "risk factors for violence." https://www.cdc.gov/youth-violence/risk-factors/index.html
So what in the heck are you even talking about"

"Why would one use the example of the killer of Charlie Kirk for such an argument, since Tyler Robinson grew up in a traditional nuclear family? I do agree that economic opportunity does help reduce crime though"

"The bottom line is thaf homicide rates, after peaking in the 1990s, are down to whqt they were in the late 1960s. Clearly you cannot blame a broken family for the actions of Kirk's murderer, so it must be the marijuana? Give me a break"

"This is an argument for, wait for it .....traditional nuclear families. Nooooo! The very institution the left blames for all the world's problems. When our economy has been wrecked by free trade agreements, deindustrialization, and the dumping of cheap plastic garbage from China here, why would any man start a family he cannot afford to support? My late father left my sister and I at 13 only to go to prison a few years later for 8 years. I thank God for my 3 year enlistment in the US Army for getting me ready for life and providing money to attend and graduate college. If men and boys are to be helped, provide upward mobility and jobs with living wages."

"This certainly is a HUMONGOUS subject! You have to look at root causes of problems, and what actions would be more impactful in addressing the causes. A great deal of the unrest we are experiencing is due to self-worth and economics --- people having challenges getting and keeping jobs and not progressing in pay scale, has a profound impact on frustrations of life. When people do not feel that they are useful to society, it eats away at satisfaction with life, sometimes leading to anger with the world. Add to that the devastating impact of social media on wellbeing --- seeing people who "have it all" doing desirable and fun things, and you aren't, digs away at wellbeing. A strong part of this situation is having a difficult childhood --- if you don't have loving and caring parents who help you learn about life, then you are at a great disadvantage to people who do have a good upbringing. And in today's society, if other people do not listen to you or criticize you, this can have very damaging impacts on a person's feeling of self-worth. If you are able to study the people who cause problems, look at their youth and background."

"Until we have fusion generators, nuclear remains the cleanest, safest, most environmentally sensitive, most energy dense power source we have. We are going to need dozens of nuclear plants in the immediate future to meet the needs of AI, electric vehicles, electric cooking devices, cybercurrency and all the rest of the stuff the millennials yearn for but don’t know or care where the power comes from to run them."

"Thanks to the wholesale pursuit of the newest shiny object in the collective- AI and data centers, a lot of interest in the Dr .Seuss Memorial offshore wind farm has waned, probably permanently.
After the AI craze has come and gone- leaving economic disaster in its wake- we will be too broke to ever be able to pursue the luxury - fantasy of rows of floating windmills.
…. Just lookin’ on the bright side!"

Libocrats have ZERO self-awareness! It is their mental illness (as confirmed by multiple mental health studies).
Ironic."

"There are much more effective and environmentally sound ways to produce energy that are actually green. This very costly BS project is also extremely environmentally destructive. What it would do to our coastline alone is beyond the pale. We are in serious need of evolving our power sources away from fossil fuels ASAP, but this ridiculous plan will only enrich an actual oil company whilst destroying what is our sacred duty to protect.
I keep harping on the Carrizo Plains solar installation, because that has proven itself both in power provided and as an actual environmentally friendly project. All species continue to thrive in its presence. No project of that kind would need to destroy our quaint little harbors and horizons in favor of an industrial nightmare.
There are much more effective wind configurations as well. Much more productive, much smaller, with much wider operational parameters, and onshore without being unsightly. The only thing that the "offshore wind" debacle had going in its favor was the amount of money that it would have put in the pockets of those who were promoting and then building and then cleaning up after it. All paid for by us. No thank you.
Anyone who is still insisting we need this particularly faux "green" BS needs to look into what the people on the east coast are dealing with regarding their much smaller installations that are a bona fide ongoing nightmare."

"There is no such thing as 'affordable housing,' . . . . at least not along the coast of California. This plan is yet another spin by a developer to be able to build market value homes. Have you seen the prices of new homes around here? Young families? Not a chance."

"From the "Catholic Courier":
His writings notwithstanding, several aspects of Twain’s life actually paint a picture of a religious man. Twain makes frequent uncritical references in his memoirs to his Presbyterian upbringing; his funeral was in a Presbyterian church (the Brick Church in New York City); and he counted several clergy among his close friends. In addition, Twain considered his best work to be Joan of Arc, a reverential biographical account of a Catholic saint who exhibited all the human ideals Twain found so lacking in the rest of mankind.
Twain's autobiography was not allowed to be released until 2010, 100 years after his passing. This is why many previously unknown Twain quotes have recently surfaced"
