Most people in Israel are armed, and most households in Switzerland have an assault rifle. What makes the US different is that we have Democratic Party hellholes like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington DC, St. Louis and New Orleans where youth involved in drug trade kill each other.
Unless you live in one of their neighborhoods, most Americans are extremely safe – at least until they get on the highway with teenagers and their cell phones.

NBC News reports that environmentalists are excited about the prospects of more wind farms like the one pictured below at Altamont Pass, California.
A mixed vote on global warming: Ballot measures lose, but Democrats gain power
The Altamont Pass wind farm kills about one Golden Eagle every three days, and has killed more than 10% of the current Golden Eagle population in the western US.
The most recent survey of Golden Eagles across four large Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the West (80 percent of the species’ range in the lower 48 states is in these BCRs) provided an estimate of 20,722 Golden Eagles of all ages across the survey area.

Dr. Shawn Smallwood’s 2004 study, spanning four years, estimated that California’s Altamont Pass wind “farm” killed an average of 116 Golden Eagles annually (2). This adds up to 2,900 dead “goldies” since it was built 25 years ago.

Sinema was awarded 58% of the Maricopa County vote today.
This is statistically implausible. Even after yesterday’s cheating, she was only getting 51% of the Maricopa County vote overall. Today’s counted ballots are mail-in ballots with no geographical bias, and should closely align with the overall percentages for the county. There is no possible way for a random sample of Maricopa County voters to come up with a deviation that large, and yesterday’s travesty was ever worse.
