HE WAS PREVIOUSLY BECLOWNED BY THE STEAKUMMS TWITTER ACCOUNT: Bill Maher Beclowns Neil deGrasse Tyson on Scientific Bias: You Are ‘Part of the Problem.’

Flashback:

the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful https://t.co/sf4zLm33Jm

IF YOU LIVE IN THIS WORLD, YOU’RE FEELING THE CHANGE OF THE GUARD:

Pundits have noticed the incoming senior appointees are rather young. This is characteristic of the changing of the guard. For comparison the Founding Fathers averaged 44 years of age. Many were under 35. For obvious reasons few had gov't experience.

“I CARRY:” Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 Pistol in a Galco Holster. I recently purchased the Bodyguard 2.0 for pocket carry in a sticky holster and I’m quite happy with it. I’ve put a couple of hundred rounds through it so far with no malfunctions; it’ll take a couple of hundred more before I’m ready to actually carry it, but it’s smooth and accurate — much more comfortable to shoot than my Ruger LCP.

From the article: “In the end, choosing between a small .380 ACP pistol and a larger 9 mm comes down to the intended use, skill level of the user and external factors like the need for absolute concealment. With the Bodyguard 2.0, it’s now a lot less of a compromise, and that’s a good thing indeed.”
