Maeve has been one of the greatest heroes of the show through the first two seasons .
While Dolores has a very evil streak in her , Maeve is the exact opposite .

What can we expect to happen in “Decoherence” tonight?
Well, I would anticipate a heavy focus on Maeve and William. As you all know, I’ve been complaining a lot about the fact William has only been in one of the first five episodes.
It’s a bit ridiculous that arguably the best character in the show barely gets any screen time.
When we last saw William, Dolores had successfully gotten him locked up in a mental hospital. I think it’s fair to say William won’t be staying in there long.
If I had to lob an educated guess, I think we see William bust out and join Serac’s war against Dolores’ plan for global chaos.
Speaking of Serac’s war against Dolores, let’s get to Maeve. Maeve has been one of the greatest heroes of the show through the first two seasons.
While Dolores has a very evil streak in her, Maeve is the exact opposite. She’s motivated by love and goodness.
She’s the counterbalance to Dolores, and she will be needed to win the war. I think there’s a very real possibility we see a Maeve/William/Serac alliance in the near future.

The footnotes indicate that an organization not named in the IG report gave the FBI evidence about Russian operatives’ disinformation campaign, which ended up in the dossier.
The footnotes also indicate that the FBI had concerns dating back to 2015 regarding the dossier’s author, former British spy Christopher Steele, and his relationship to Russian oligarchs. Additionally, the U.S. intelligence community “indicated that two persons affiliated with RIS [Russian Intelligence Services] were aware of Steele’s election investigation in early July 2016,” in a June 2017 report, according to another footnote.

WaPo also published an opinion piece by media critic Erik Wemple titled, “The Steele dossier just sustained another body blow. What do CNN and MSNBC have to say?”
Wemple noted publications that did cover the news, including the Daily Caller and Fox News in his round-up. The media critic then pointed out that “the declassified footnotes haven’t preoccupied the coronavirus-obsessed mainstream media.”
He called out CNN in particular for its “factual” but “slanted” headline on Republicans touting the new information.
“Republicans are ‘touting’ the footnotes in part because media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC and others ‘touted’ the dossier with flimsy corroboration in the early months of the Trump presidency,” according to Wemple.
He continued:
The CNN footnote story abridges the findings of the Horowitz report this way: ‘Steele’s report played no role in the opening of the FBI investigation, according to Horowitz, and he found that the most salacious allegations weren’t proven.’ That’s a convenient formulation, considering that the Horowitz report said the FBI determined that the dossier was a mix of uncorroborated, inaccurate/inconsistent and publicly available information.

Never before had America ever seen a criminal like him, and we might never see one again. He ran the largest organized crime syndicate in Chicago, and was public and untouchable for years.
Now, Tom Hardy is bringing the story of his final days to life on the big screen. I honestly can’t wait. May 12 is going to be a fun day!
Let us know in the comments what you think of “Capone.”

After 4/20 plans went up in smoke due to coronavirus-related stay-at-home orders across the country, many cannabis fans instead celebrated online Monday.

This year, it was hosted on a livestream featuring musical guests Billy Ray Cyrus, Erykah Badu and Wiz Khalifa, according to the Hill.
Switching to an online celebration creates hurdles for advocacy organizations such as the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law, which would typically have volunteers interact with crowds in person to push causes like state legalization measures, CNN reported.
Cannabis businesses also usually run promotions and discounts for 4/20, which draws swaths of people to dispensaries.

thedailycaller--2020-04-20--5 CCW Tips For Older Armed Citizens

5 CCW Tips For Older Armed Citizens

As we get older , we must keep in mind that we can still be a target for criminal attack .
In fact , we may become even more of a target as the years catch up with us .
The crooks see the gray hair , the wrinkles and figure that we will be less likely to resist and less likely to be armed .
Age may cause us to have physical problems to deal with , but many of them can be overcome .
We owe it to ourselves and our families to be as tough a target @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few ideas to help older defensive shooters deal with their issues .
1 .
Use The Most Powerful Handgun That You Can Shoot Quickly And Accurately .
You may be surprised to learn that this is what I tell all shooters , regardless of their age .
However , you may have found that , due to infirmities , you can no longer manage that .357 Mag .
or .45 ACP pistol .
This doesn ’ t mean that you should quit .
It means that you should scale down to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .380 ACP , or even .22 LR , depending upon your particular needs and abilities .
These smaller calibers may not be as capable , but they sure do beat fighting with your fists .
The lighter the caliber , the more important bullet placement becomes .
So , you ’ ll have to practice more and work on delivering the best bullet placement possible .
One of the most common defensive carry techniques is to wear the handgun on your strong-side hip , just behind the hip bone .
Unfortunately , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their joints .
To make a draw from this popular position , your shoulder must move up and back , and it must do it quickly .
Some folks just have a tough time with this .
A better choice for the aging shooter might be the appendix carry ; that is , wearing the handgun on the strong side but in front of the hip bone .
The shoulder does not have to move so radically with this technique .
The same may be true with the crossdraw carry method .
Both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the body and will be easier to get to and allow for a quick pistol presentation .
About the time that we hit middle age , the sights on a handgun sure do start to look fuzzy , and a clear sight picture rapidly becomes a thing of the past .
Some folks deal with this natural phenomenon by using the close-range portion of their bifocals .
However , for all of us , glasses are the answer .
Even if you don ’ t use bifocals , your optometrist can have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you can see the sights clearly through that portion of the lens .
If you don ’ t feel comfortable discussing your shooting skills with your current optometrist , ask at your local shooting range or gun store until you can get the name of an optometrist who is a shooter .
You ’ d be amazed at how many of these professionals enjoy the shooting sports and understand the needs of aging shooters .
4 .
Weakness In The Hands And Forearms .
Some older shooters find that , due to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can no longer work the slide on a semi-automatic pistol .

By Sheriff Jim Wilson, American Rifleman
As we get older, we must keep in mind that we can still be a target for criminal attack. In fact, we may become even more of a target as the years catch up with us. The crooks see the gray hair, the wrinkles and figure that we will be less likely to resist and less likely to be armed. Age may cause us to have physical problems to deal with, but many of them can be overcome. We owe it to ourselves and our families to be as tough a target as is humanly possible. Here are a few ideas to help older defensive shooters deal with their issues.
1. Use The Most Powerful Handgun That You Can Shoot Quickly And Accurately.
You may be surprised to learn that this is what I tell all shooters, regardless of their age. However, you may have found that, due to infirmities, you can no longer manage that .357 Mag. or .45 ACP pistol. This doesn’t mean that you should quit. It means that you should scale down to a 9 mm Luger, .38 Spl., .380 ACP, or even .22 LR, depending upon your particular needs and abilities.
These smaller calibers may not be as capable, but they sure do beat fighting with your fists. The lighter the caliber, the more important bullet placement becomes. So, you’ll have to practice more and work on delivering the best bullet placement possible.
2. Consider Changing Carry Positions.
One of the most common defensive carry techniques is to wear the handgun on your strong-side hip, just behind the hip bone. Unfortunately, with aging, many shooters lose mobility in their joints. To make a draw from this popular position, your shoulder must move up and back, and it must do it quickly. Some folks just have a tough time with this.
A better choice for the aging shooter might be the appendix carry; that is, wearing the handgun on the strong side but in front of the hip bone. The shoulder does not have to move so radically with this technique. The same may be true with the crossdraw carry method. Both carry the handgun on the front side of the body and will be easier to get to and allow for a quick pistol presentation.
3. Dealing With Fuzzy Sights.
About the time that we hit middle age, the sights on a handgun sure do start to look fuzzy, and a clear sight picture rapidly becomes a thing of the past. Some folks deal with this natural phenomenon by using the close-range portion of their bifocals. However, for all of us, glasses are the answer.
Even if you don’t use bifocals, your optometrist can have a corner of your glasses ground so that you can see the sights clearly through that portion of the lens. If you don’t feel comfortable discussing your shooting skills with your current optometrist, ask at your local shooting range or gun store until you can get the name of an optometrist who is a shooter. You’d be amazed at how many of these professionals enjoy the shooting sports and understand the needs of aging shooters.
4. Weakness In The Hands And Forearms.
Some older shooters find that, due to arthritis or some other ailment, they can no longer work the slide on a semi-automatic pistol. In most cases, I have found that they have been doing it wrong in the first place.
Too many shooters want to hold the auto pistol in their hand with the arm almost fully extended. Then they use the thumb and index finger of their support hand, at the very back of the slide, to work the slide and chamber a round. This whole technique looks very much like the way we shot slingshots when we were kids. Regardless of age, this is a very poor technique and is an indication of someone who is a real tenderfoot regarding this business of self-defense.
The closer your hands are to your chest, the more strength you have in your hands and arms. Hold the pistol close to your chest and parallel to your chest, with the muzzle pointed to the side. However, you should be conscious that the muzzle is still pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Put your support hand over the top of the pistol, in the area of the ejection port, and grasp the slide firmly with your whole hand and all of your fingers. At the same time that you pull the slide to the rear with your support hand, you should push forward with your strong hand. The isometric push-pull, along with holding the gun close to the body, utilizes much more of your bodily strength and is a much more positive way to charge your auto pistol.
However, there are those who simply are dealing with issues that make them too weak to run an auto slide. They might consider making the transition to a double-action revolver. The action of loading and unloading a DA revolver requires much less muscle strength. When transitioning to a revolver, however, don’t hesitate to have a professional gunsmith smooth up the action to make the double-action trigger pull as easy as possible.
5. Increase Mobility With Exercise.
The older we get, the more important exercise is to our maintaining our body strength and mobility. If you have health issues, it is critical that you do not start an exercise program without consulting with a physician. Just as with the optometrist, you may find it a bit more comfortable to find a physician who enjoys the shooting sports.
When you start hunting for a doctor who is a member of our shooting fraternity, you will be amazed at just how many of them there are. I don’t want to sound “New Age” here, but the fact is that a yoga class, especially one for older folks, is a great way to increase your agility and mobility. However, if you have any doubts about your ability, take the time to consult with a physician.
It is critically important, as the years go by, to continue to refuse to be a victim. Seek the advice of other aging shooters, use your mind to solve your particular problems as they relate to shooting skills, and simply say to yourself, “I am tough, I am an American shooter, and I am not going to give up.”
