When I'm wrong, I man-up. I predicted that Haaland and the Biden administration would relist wolves by mid-summer. But they just announced they will abide by the Trump rule to keep them delisted and allow states to manage them. The ARAs and wolfies are furious.

Shows the Bidenistas can at least get one thing right.

He must have stumbled and dropped his pudding to make a decision like that, or better yet the puppeteers made it, because he’s not capable of tying his damn shoes.

I think Stix has it right. So, I wouldn’t be too upset. Because before it’s over, I think the time prediction is all that’s going to be wrong.

For you Russian ammo shooters.......FYI. This just happened from the State Dept. Not sure if these Russian sanctions have been planned for a while or we're seeing Prez Biden do a "wag the dog" thing on this too.

(This is from Gun Zone.com)

Russian Sanctions Will Lead To Spike In Ammo Prices!

According to State.Gov

President Biden's state department announced today further sanctions on Russia. Such sanctions will include the denial of all pending and future import permits for firearms and ammunition manufactured in Russia.

Why is this a bad thing for Gun Owners In America?

Russian Ammunition accounts for approximately 40% the US Ammo Market. Steel ammunition historically has kept brass ammunition prices lower. These latest sanctions on russia may very well cause ammo prices to skyrocket!

(This is copy/paste from the State Dept sheet)

Fact Sheet: United States Imposes Additional Costs on Russia for the Poisoning of Aleksey Navalny

Fact Sheet

Office of the Spokesperson

August 20, 2021

CBW ACT SANCTIONS

Description of Sanctions: Pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (the CBW Act), the United States will impose a second round of sanctions on the Russian Federation over its use of a “Novichok” nerve agent in the August 2020 poisoning of Russian opposition figure Aleksey Navalny.

New sanctions imposed today under the CBW Act include:

Restrictions on the permanent imports of certain Russian firearms. New and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial.

Additional Department of Commerce export restrictions on nuclear and missile-related goods and technology pursuant to the Export Control Reform Act of 2018.

"Give it time he still hasn’t banned assault weapons yet. "

Doubt he ever will. Too many in Congress understand that guns are a 'third rail' danger, fatal to their careers.

(Plus, he's bleeding 'political capital' with the Afghanistan situation.)

Biden stuck by Trump's deal to leave Afghanistan and Trump's position on wolves. For this Biden takes crap from _both_ sides. Stuff like this is why despise I political partisanship.

From the link I posted -

"John Bolton and H.R. McMaster, two former Trump national security advisers known for their hawkish views, have lambasted both Trump and Biden for the withdrawal — though both have long been critical of the Taliban agreement.

"Our secretary of state [Mike Pompeo] signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban," McMaster said on Bari Weiss' podcast. "This collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. The Taliban didn’t defeat us. We defeated ourselves." Bolton told CNN: "Had Trump been re-elected, he’d be doing the same thing. On this question of withdrawal from Afghanistan, Trump and Biden are like Tweedledee and Tweedledum." "

Yeah, Biden could have done better, but blaming one OR the other is blind partisanship at its damnedest.

Dana - so rather than man up to what Biden has ACTUALLY done. You’d rather speculate on what Trump would’ve done.

And you’re the one complaining about partisan politics - perhaps a look in the mirror would be appropriate about now.

From: DanaC
23-Aug-21
Old School, it was Trump's aides doing the speculating. Personally I don't think King Solomon himself had the smarts to extract us from Afg. *cleanly*.

(And I'd love to know exactly who these Americans still there *are*. Did they not see the writing on the wall when the troop draw-down started?)

The new Biden commemorative coin

24-Aug-21
DanaC both the trump admin employees you cited are Hawks as you pointed out. Both did not want to withdraw from Afghanistan. EVER.

If it were up to Bolton we would have invaded Iran also.

I wouldn’t be using those two War mongers as your foreign policy experts.

As for comparing Trump and Biden’s plan,

trumps plan had conditions at every step and had the people and equipment out before the military not the reverse

I think everybody agrees we needed to get out, it’s Biden that put politics before the correct pull out timeline

Trump’s plan was to do it in the winter when the fighters are all in Pakistan, and be done by May. Biden is doing it during peak fighting season

Afghanistan has Iran on its western border and China on its eastern border

China will soon be building an oil pipeline to Iran through Afghanistan, allowing Iran to bypass sanctions and fund more terror. Also giving a lot of funding to the Taliban and Islamic terrorists

What a mess

"It is true reach when liberals try to use conservatives against conservatives! "

Not such a reach when you pit 'conservatives' against Trump ;-) (Who imo is a disgrace to America, the GOP and 'conservatism'. But you knew that...)

But the point was that there is NO consensus on the notion that the current debacle was the fault of one OR the other. I merely quoted two of the multiple opinions in the article as an example. Feel free to quote others.

From: Old School
24-Aug-21
Dana - I’ve got several liberal acquaintances and they are all shamed and embarrassed by the behavior of the guy they put in office. If you want to see partisan politics you really do need to look in the mirror.

It takes someone with some special political blindness to actually place the blame on the individuals that the President deserted rather than on the president himself. You and Biden are about the only 2 people I’ve heard placing the blame on Trump and quite frankly that’s the stance of a coward plain and simple. Your liberal friends even call it that - cowardice.

If you’re tired of partisan politics then start with yourself and stop it. You’re truly making a total fool of yourself here.

24-Aug-21
Who would think it was best to pull out excessive troops before the intended civilians were evacuated, and unwanted military equipment and munitions either removed or destroyed? I have no issue with getting out, it just has to be done with a sensible plan. Even the Liberal media has a problem with this one.

24-Aug-21
And on wolves, the states will see to it we keep plenty around. The Feds will intervene if they see too few. The overall wolf population is safe, and with an expanding range.

From: DanaC
24-Aug-21
Old School, a lot of people are trying to blame one OR the other. And a lot of people blame BOTH. I'm in the latter camp. I fail to see how that makes me either a partisan or a Biden supporter.

BUT, if you subscribe to the notion that anyone who doesn't 100% support Trump is a communist-socialist-liberal-Democrat-pinko blahblahblah, well...

I said earlier that I support Trump's positions on Afghanistan and wolves. We can argue about how his plan is either being followed or not, but if Biden discarded it, maybe we should ask _why_?

From: DanaC
24-Aug-21
Missouribreaks, agreed on that equipment. When it was clear that it would end up in the hands of the Taliban it should have been destroyed if it couldn't be moved out.

As for wolves, there is actually a closed season on coyotes here, but some folks subscribe to the 3-s rule (shoot, shovel and shut up.) I imagine it's the same in wolf country.

24-Aug-21
The 3's rule is likely practiced. Telemetry and modern microchips make it a bit risky though. Even shed elk antlers are now extensively being chipped for track and trace, then planted where some can legally, or illegally, locate and collect them.

From: Old School
24-Aug-21
Dana - pretty simple why I and almost everyone else blames Biden. It was HIS decision.

You trying to lump in Trump by saying it was his idea is actually laughable. There’s a vast difference with Trump and Biden agreeing to withdraw and their said execution of the withdrawal. Biden showed total and utter incompetence (at best) in his execution of his plan.

To say - well this was Trumps plan so he shares blame is absolutely laughable and shows partisan politics at its worst.

Like Trump left the plan on the desk of the Oval Office and Biden simply picked it up and executed Trumps plan exactly as written - interesting perspective I guess.

And the people that were left stranded there in Afghanistan in your opinion should have known better and got themselves out. I still can’t believe that is your position. When you lay the blame for this at the feet of innocent American citizens in order to cover for an utterly incompetent President, that is saying quite a bit about you - and it’s not good.

I’m out…and done with this thread.

24-Aug-21
That’s because he is incompetent. And so are those who voted for him obviously.........

I don't know what this has to do with wolves, but I heard 9 out of 4 that voted for Biden now regret their decision ;o) LOL
