So are these coming out of China or are they made here?

Thats a Nice looking mod I would guess American Made, The price is pretty high for a China mod.
I have a Silo from Proto & 1 from MC, There both a little different from these.
Proto has an Evol 510 & no raise ring around the buttons, MC use's their own 510 HCP & has the raised ring around the buttons. These appear to have like a VT 510?
Also I built mine for about half their asking price, & the MC 1 for even less cause I got a Blem enclosure from them.
Still a nice mod! Just a little pricy in todays market.

@Tpat591- gonna make a researcher out of you yet!

Does the Supreme Court Overturn 80 Percent of Ninth Circuit Court Decisions?

Did CNN write that?

Had the author stated Trump did it to add support for McCain & the other one's bill to break up the Nutty 9th into two Circuits by adding a 12th circuit with additional judges in both that he appoints (& thereby packs) to fix a circuit Court of Appeals that is overruled in 86% of cases reviewed by the Supreme Court and which operates with a 15-18 month average case ruling time frame, I would agree there might be some merit.

who remembers what i had to do last time when i was getting the tmobile router page - 192.168.0.1 - instead of my newspapers? i cleared the cache thinking that's what fixed it last time but no luck

 

[tiburonfirst]

This is gonna sound silly but turn all computers off for 1 min then turn them back on. This is the easiest solution.

When you switch internet sources, computers keep a routing table and it doesn't flush unless its rebooted but some have time limits (which is why you turn it off for 1 min). Sometimes, it's on your router so rebooting your router might help too.

192.168.0.1 is an internally routable class c address. (192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255) These addresses (there's class a and b ranges too) don't route on the internet.

I could explain in more detail if you want

never mind, found it!

 

[tiburonfirst]

didn't fix it this time - resetting hot spot next

 

[tiburonfirst]

and back in business

Does the Supreme Court Overturn 80 Percent of Ninth Circuit Court Decisions?

in 2012, the year I had seen data for from Fox news, 86% of decisions reviewed by SCOTUS were overturned. In 2015 it was 80% as per a newspaper article I read somewhere along the line but I believe it was Washington Times.

Just because Snopes, a left oriented organization that is succumbing to pressure from the left to massage data to support the utterly biased propaganda CNN, MSNBC & other left leaning MSMs Spew regularly so its determinations may be used to attempt to muffle and even shut down - literally shut down right and alt right news or organizations on Twitter, Facebook, and Google - does not make them ethically correct. Snopes conveniently quotes data of the 9th from 1998 - 2008 to dispel the claims as that data does support the desired result, but that does not make the claims of other news organizations false. Fox & WT may have presented it in a slanted manner to enhance their view, but it is not false. What Snopes did by ignoring recent data is no different IMO and further erodes their credibility.

This does not change the fact that the decision of the 9th Circuit ignored the very written laws and constitution it is charged with interpreting and applying to make judgements. Instead it chose to try to project its power to usurp the powers of the presidency provided by those very documents and make law for purely political reasons well beyond the scope of the judiciary as envisioned by the founders. The problem with the judiciary is that due to lifetime appointments, they are not beholden to the American people for their performance within their mandate, productivity nor the accuracy of their decisions and this is often an environment when a sense of entitlement and invulnerability cause improper overreach and decisions for ideological and political purpose instead of the interpretation of written law for which it was founded.

When that happens, legislative steps must be taken to spit up that environment, take corrective steps to aid productivity, and restore a balance of impartiality. The 9th needs to be broken up into 9th & 12th & judges added in both to allow the 15 month backlog to be reduced greatly, & restore ideological balance to properly serve the American people IMHO.

Pretty clear under the law any president has the right to halt immigration when he deems it a danger to the people.

Act 212(b) | USCIS

(f) Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

What I don't understand is why there was no outcry when Obama did the same thing, repeatedly? Well that was a lie, yes I do know why.....

 

[tiburonfirst]

86% of decisions reviewed by SCOTUS were overturned

but:
''Each year the federal courts of appeals collectively terminate an average of 60,467 cases. However, the Supreme Court only reviews an average of 64 cases per year, which is about 0.106% of all decisions by the federal courts of appeals.''
and:
in short, social media claims that 80 percent of cases decided by the Ninth Circuit were overturned were flat out false; more than 99 percent of that circuit’s decisions stood and the Supreme Court reviewed a scant 0.106 percent of circuit court cases each year. Although figures from 2010 maintained the “Ninth Circuit [had] the second highest reversal rate at 80 [percent],” the “highest” was the Federal Circuit court’s median of 83 percent. However, left out of both the rumors and the blog post was the fact that the average rate of accepted cases ruled upon differently by the Supreme Court than a lower circuit court was over 68 percent across all courts. So of less than one percent of all cases reviewed by the Supreme Court, 68 percent of decisions across all circuits were overturned. Eighty percent of decisions by the Ninth Circuit were overturned when escalated to the Supreme Court, but the numbers were misleading taken out of context.

sure enough, willy! but he can't do it on a whim! his actions are still reviewable, thank god! obama based his decision to institute tougher vetting on the 'bowling green massacre' ( ) all the clown's lawyer had to do was to provide some kind of intel to justify. instead the argument was presented 'as president he can do what he wants' no matter how much chaos it creates.
nobody is against maybe even tougher vetting but to stop legal permanent residents, people with valid work and student visas or visitor visas was unbelievable.
i'm in rural virginia and if it weren't for the doctors who obtained a 3-year work visa in exchange for committing themselves to practice in underserved areas we'd be up a creek without a paddle!
no wonder they're gonna rewrite the order - they should have put some thought into it to begin with!

 

[tiburonfirst]

 

[awsum140]

Chaos? From all of the reports I saw we're talking about UNDER 1,000 people out of hundreds of thousands. The real chaos is the way the media reported everything. I wonder where they were when the previous President's travel bans caused chaos and heartache? Think, for a moment, about what Roosevelt did during WWII, and he was Progressive!

Historically, a court is a venue to determine lawfulness of actions and not the "motivations" for actions. A judge is there to determine the lawfulness not discern motives. The actual decision by the Circuit Court judge, and I use the term "judge" loosely in this case, made absolutely no mention of lawfulness and was seriously flawed in the "facts" he stated for his ruling. The whole thing is a threat to the Constitution and seem to be an extreme overreach of Judicial powers that are, potentially, interfering with National security. That Judge and the ones on the Appellate Court have no access to the information that the President does, nor should they. In fact the Appellate Court didn't actually rule on the root of the issue but chose to obfuscate the issue even further.

As far as reversals, the 11th Circuit is still the most overturned Court in the Nation.

In terms of preventing "needed" people from getting into the US, exactly how many doctors, physicists and engineers of any discipline come from those seven nations? One or two, collectively, is probably a big number. It has gotten to the point where feelings, and "feel good" are trumping safety and security in the name of Political Correctness.

 

[tiburonfirst]

I wonder where they were when the previous President's travel bans caused chaos and heartache?

obama did not revoke existing visas and kept green card holders from entering or leaving without wondering if they'd be allowed back in! his actions affected new applications and slowed them down substantially!
as per doj and state department, between 60000 and 100000 visas were cancelled.
Trump administration offers conflicting numbers of revoked visas after travel ban
and spicer had no idea which number was correct

 

[awsum140]

Again, the number of people effected, actually trying to enter the country at the time, was quite low, as in under 500 at inflated counting levels. The numbers indicated at 100,000 included everyone possibly effected, and remember that this was a ninety day suspension, not a permanent ban and that, too, is well within the discretion for the President, whether it is Trump, Obama or Roosevelt, to determine. That problem, green cards and returning people with visas, was corrected before the end of the weekend. Chaos, not really. Bad implementation, definitely, but it was corrected fairly quickly.

If cancelling the visas of 100,000 people trying to get into this country from countries that have no way to document their own citizens, and are known hotbeds of terrorist activity as determined by the previous administration, potentially prevents the loss of one life here or injury to one person here I'm all for it and would support it no matter who the President is at the time.

 

[tiburonfirst]

Bad implementation, definitely, but it was corrected fairly quickly

only because the courts got involved and issued an injunction (new york and virginia)!
how can you have a president who signs an order without understanding what the implications are?
again, i have no use for either democrats or republicans but when it comes to trump i can only shake my head.

 

[SlickWilly]

Well let's be fair, he didn't have his head DOD in place because the Dem's were holding up the nomination. Second, yes Trump is green, but Obama had very little experience when he went into office.
Doesn't matter, they will just issue another order, I'm good.
