Would Biden's Secret Service detail really let him drive on public streets, roads, and highways? Even if only for security and protection, I doubt it.

Does Donald Trump Have a Driver’s License? What We Know

President Donald Trump admitted he is unable to drive the Tesla car he plans on purchasing during a press conference Tuesday.

As president, Trump is not allowed to drive on public roads due to security reasons, but he may no longer have a valid driver's license.
...
Current and former U.S. presidents are prohibited from driving on public roads due to security concerns. The Secret Service strictly enforces this policy, which was implemented in the wake of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
...
A copy of Trump's New York driver's license, obtained by Politico through an open-records request in 2016, showed it needed renewal on June 14, 2020, his 74th birthday.

In December 2014, before Trump entered politics, Melania Trump, who is now the first lady, uploaded a video onto Facebook showing him driving while listening to Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" alongside their son Barron.

IIRC, Trump changed his residence to Florida, so if he has a current license, it would be there. Why would Trump drive? Enjoyment, I would guess. It's not like, during the LIEden Interregnum :-) , Trump could not afford to hire one or more drivers. As for his EZGO, https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-79-rests-in-golf-cart-parked-on-green-during-game-with-granddaughter-kai/ . It's like Trump thinks he owns the course and has it all to himself, :-) ! Of course, 5 or 10 mph on a fairway or green is different from 25 or 30, errrrrr, 5 or 10 mph on NYC streets.

President Biden took his Corvette to a car show in Rhode Island. I don't think Trump can drive.

Of course, the danger that a pastor may work to have the government strip a person of a fundamental right based on a private conversation will prompt some congregants to forego potentially beneficial pastoral services entirely.

This was my immediate reaction as well. If you're worried about people turning violent, making them feel like they can't trust anyone is probably the worst thing you can do.

The fact that these activists resort to such surreptitious tactics is telling; it says not enough people agree with them for them to be forthright about their intentions.

Also, I appreciate the article putting "progressive" in quotes. Calling someone "progressive", like "liberal", sounds like a compliment. These anti-gun activists aren't progressive.

Anti-Gun Orgs Urge Clergy to Use Red Flag Laws to Grab Their Congregants’ Guns

https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-nation/anti-gun-orgs-urge-clergy-to-use-red-flag-laws-to-grab-their-congregants-guns/

Quote
In September, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Gun Violence Solutions published a tract titled “Extreme Risk Protection Orders: A Clergy Resource Guide” (extreme risk protection orders are the gun control advocates’ preferred term for red flag gun confiscation orders). The document was authored alongside groups including Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, Faith Leaders for Ending Gun Violence, and Jewish Women International.

Another author was the Presbyterian Office of Public Witness, which the document described as “the public policy information and advocacy office for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).” The “progressive” PCUSA currently hosts the guide on its website. Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, who has put his version of religion at the forefront of his campaign, trained at a PCUSA seminary.
...
The guide seeks to inject gun control directly into the clergy-congregant relationship. The document encourages faith leaders to leverage the trust their congregants place in them, noting, “faith leaders are often trusted confidants. You may be among the first to hear when someone is experiencing crisis…”

Of course, the danger that a pastor may work to have the government strip a person of a fundamental right based on a private conversation will prompt some congregants to forego potentially beneficial pastoral services entirely.

IMO, gun owners in uber-Prog denominations like the UCC, ELCA, Episcopalian Church, and some Presbyterian denominations would be wise to move over to less anti-gun churches. I was raised in a conservative mainline denomination, so I know that would not be a trivial choice. That said, betrayal by an activist "pastor" or "priest" should not be risked, IMO.

Liberals have been screaming, "Fascist!" at people who dare disagree with them so long that the practice has transitioned from a tradition to being a dogma.

They've reversed what the word even means. Now, if you love liberty, that's "fascism" to them. :mental:

Doesn't sound like I missed much. I really doubt the participants said anything I haven't heard before.

Oh look a group of rock acts that haven't been relevant or had a hit record in years. Do not sign me up.

In the case of Joan Baez, decades ... if ever.

Like so many of the 1960s rock and folk music scene, she has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese people on her guitar strings. The killings of ordinary people did not end when the US left Vietnam, they accelerated.
