Lucky For Trump, Most Of His Supporters Don't Read Books
Don't pass out, but Trump was lying in the 30 second clip above. He didn't get 46% of Hispanic voters; he got 28%. And he didn't win among the highly educated. Only 36% of college graduated voted for him. However, he was telling the truth about the poorly educated. A full third of his vote came from people whose education went as far as high school or less. And non-college whites made up the bulk of his supporters-- 63%. These are not people who read-- let alone comprehend-- books... just like Trump himself. So I guess they won't be reading John Bolton's (tell all?) book, which i... more »

These .45 Caliber Handguns Are The Most Impressive Ever
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Take a look. *Key point: *Today there are more choices of .45 ACP pistols than ever before. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol round, or .45 ACP as it is commonly known, is fairly controversial. Invented in 1905 by prolific firearms designer John Moses Browning, the .45 ACP was the standard caliber of the Colt M1911 pistol, and remains so to this day. A heavy, subsonic bullet, a typical .45 ACP weighs twice as much as the 9mm Luger round and delivers a third more energy.

*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: Photograph of a Sig Sauer, Inc. Model P320 Handgun Date 16 January 2018] It's the most successful competitor in the world. *Key Point:* Since the P320’s fire control group is unified across the P320 line of pistols, it allows for easy swapping of cheap plastic frames to suit the user.

On Human Nature And Culture
You cannot break human nature through political coercion. Human nature is largely dependent on culture, which is a product of centuries of intellectual, religious, and materialistic endeavors. It may bend when political coercion is applied, but as soon as the political coercion is removed, human nature will, like a spring, revert back to its original shape. However, human nature can be broken by attacking and transforming culture. That is why the philosophies and political movements that want to promote a different type of human beings despise the existing culture—their politics cen... more »
