As to the NRA that is less of a scandal and more of a cash flow problem.  Not surprising really since with Boomers largely in charge currently the corporate money goes to Democratic Causes.  The fact that the Washington Compost is the largest contributor of articles on the subject according to Duck Duck Go I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't also propaganda.

The Narodni Rifle Association is accused of funneling money from Russian sources into American politics, which if true is illegal activity that should take it down. Scandals in non-profit organizations (think of USA Gymnastics, which is about something very different) destroy such organizations because they disrupt the cash flow. Cash flow is the lifeblood of any organization, whether a for-profit or non-profit enterprise. Remember that most gun owners are patriots who still do not trust foreign countries.

Your idol has clay feet, Much as I disliked Ronald Reagan for his agenda in the 1980s, I now recognize that he had competent people around him who could redirect him when he started to go too far. Donald Trump surrounds himself with yes-men who can never say no to him, which ensures that if he goes too far in one way or another that nothing will stop him except for overpowering force. I may have seen him as excessively chauvinist in his nationalism, but in view of Donald Trump and his questionable loyalty I will take Reagan's national chauvinism any day.

Changing the subject to reflect another post of yours:

...I have never been in Florida (the closest was either Houston or Great Smoky Mountains National Park). I did live in northeastern Arkansas as a child and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as a young adult, and my observation humid heat hits me harder than dry heat. I question whether the heat and humidity of Florida in the summer is any worse than that of northeastern Arkansas or southeastern Missouri (the latter, "Mississippi North" -- yuck!). Summer weather in Dallas alternated between Arizona-style heat (Tucson if not Phoenix) and "Dixie" heat, and I can assure you that 100F with low humidity is far more tolerable than 90F with high humidity. For the dry heat, wear a hat and keep hydrated -- do your grocery shopping at night, and never rely upon outside parking. In my case, I must use a high-SPF sunscreen, but I need do that in Michigan when the temperature gets above 65F, too, on a sunny day.

How tolerable is dry heat? I could rely upon ceiling fans in Dallas until Memorial Day or so.

Yawn  More Muh Russia nonsense.  Funny you Blues were all about Russia when it was communist.  I'm not impressed with Mr. Horn's sources.  Or the Dallas Gazette either which for all I know is just an other dying Democrat rag.  And accusations are just that.  If someone has evidence bring it to court or they are doing nothing but slandering.  And there is a lot of slander--or perhaps in this case libel going on and it is coming from the left.

Makes me wonder if Muh Russia-Gate is a matter of projection again.

I've found that dry heat is more tolerable than humid heat, but not by much.  110F is still 110F but you can beat the heat more effectively by wearing clothing and if necessary wetting them--or simply waiting for night to cool things down.  Humidity sort of traps the heat.  That being said Florida is unique from the rest of the south in that nearly all of it is coastal in climate and benefits from the moderating effects of the Gulf and the Atlantic.  On days it gets too hot the kid and I pack up the truck and go surfing.
It really is all mathematics.

Turn on to Daddy, Tune in to Nationalism, Drop out of UN/NATO/WTO/TPP/NAFTA/CAFTA Globalism.
