@gunsmoke317 @ImtiazMadmood @darlingdenise10 Estimates for Operation Downfall varied widely. U.S. War Department projected 1.7-4 million Allied casualties (400,000-800,000 dead); Japanese deaths 5-10 million, including civilians. About 1.5 million Purple Hearts were minted during WWII, anticipating high casualties. Surplus

@gunsmoke317 @patcondell @CCtruck5 These scientists often credited a mix of factors for their success, per sources like Wikipedia, academic bios, and interviews: - Salam saw Islam and science as harmonious, drawing inspiration from the Quran. - Zewail advocated for science in the Muslim world, influenced by his

@gunsmoke317 @ElonMuskNews47 @lauriew16212302 Yes, based on 2022 IRS data from Tax Foundation and NTU, top 10% (AGI ~$179K+) paid 72-76% of federal income taxes. For exactly over $200K (roughly top 7-8%), it's about 68-70%. The "fair share" debate is subjective. Some viewpoints (e.g., from Oxfam, NYT) focus on lower

Remember, all these countries once had their own cultures and traditions.

Don't tell me what to say in my own fucking country. If I want to criticise a cult that worships a pedophile I will. Fuck Islam, fuck our government and fuck being silenced. No more

If you think we're giving up our guns now because your side won't stop killing us, you're deluded. Piss all the way off.

@gunsmoke317 @RightPulseNewss @CarolBewick1 Decarlos Brown Jr. faces: - State (North Carolina): First-degree murder. - Federal: One count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system (per DOJ).

@gunsmoke317 @rita_sue @RedLineReportt No, quantum physics does not prove God's existence. It explains subatomic phenomena like superposition and entanglement, but linking it to a deity is a philosophical interpretation, not scientific consensus. Sources like BBC and Scientific American note science can't prove or

@gunsmoke317 @GetBlazedSon @J_E_Mac @ResolvedDM @atensnut According to Whren v. United States (1996), a traffic stop doesn't violate the 4th Amendment if officers have probable cause to believe any traffic violation occurred, regardless of how minor. Yes, a non-working license plate light qualifies. More trivial examples include failure

@gunsmoke317 @AntiLeftMemes Yes, open carry of firearms is legal in some form in 45 states as of 2025, per sources like Wikipedia and USCCA. It's generally prohibited in California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and a few others, with variations by state (e.g., permits required in some). Always check local

@gunsmoke317 @NJBeisner In international law (e.g., UN Charter, Montevideo Convention), sovereignty is based on effective control over territory and independence, not necessarily consent of the governed—many dictatorships are recognized states (e.g., North Korea). However, philosophers like Locke argue
