Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhat throws most preppers off course isn’t a lack of commitment—it’s friction. Life piles on. Focus fades. And sometimes, without realizing it, you’re slogging through life reacting to it, instead of being as effective as you know you can. Prepping is a process, and…

The final stop of Turning Point USA’s tour attracted violence on Monday, November 10th. The campus at the University of California, Berkley has been plagued by political violence over the past few years. Inside the event, speakers like actor Rob Schneider and Dr. Frank Turek (Charlie Kirk’s religious mentor and…

Don’t you love it when it starts to get a little cooler? Jackets, sweatshirts, and more make carrying larger guns a bit easier. This brings me to my new winter EDC, the Mossberg 500 Compact Cruiser, which is the closest a 12-gauge gets to being concealed-carry friendly. It’s legally an…

First used by the 1st Air Commando in World War II, the Sikorsky R-4 often fell short of its role in rescuing airmen downed in the mountains and rainforests of the China-Burma-India front but as the first helicopter designed to perform such tasks it set the precedent for a new…

The House passed a bill Wednesday to end the nation’s longest government shutdown, sending the measure to President Donald Trump for his signature after a historic 43-day funding lapse that saw federal workers go without multiple paychecks, travelers stranded at airports and people lining up at food banks to get a meal for their families.House lawmakers made their long-awaited return to the nation’s capital this week after nearly eight weeks away. Republicans used their slight majority to get the bill over the finish line with a mostly party-line vote of 222-209. The Senate has already passed the measure.Trump’s expected signature…

Ruger’s acquisition of Marlin Firearms in 2020 opened a lot of doors. I think most shooters, by now, have seen what Ruger has done with the classic Marlin 336 lever-action. It is downright beautiful, and it shoots just as good as it looks.  What many didn’t realize (myself included) was that when Ruger acquired Marlin, it also acquired Glenfield. Why? Glenfield was Marlin’s budget line of guns, and they came along with the purchase. I recall Glenfield .22 rifles from the late 1960s and into the 1970s. They were well-made, not fancy, and they worked. About Glenfield The Glenfield name…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  Do you remember how bad things were in 2008 and 2009?  It was an economic nightmare that shook the entire world, and now it appears that the sequel is upon us.  As you will see below, many economic numbers are either as bad as they have been since the Great Recession or they are even worse than they were during the Great Recession.  Despite what the mainstream media has been telling you, the truth is that the cold, hard facts prove that the U.S. economy has been…

Adding a suppressor to your AR-15 fundamentally changes how the weapon operates. While most shooters understand that cans reduce noise and muzzle blast, few grasp the mechanical consequences happening inside their action. The reality is that threading a suppressor onto your muzzle doesn’t just make your rifle quieter. It transforms your entire gas system into something that often needs retuning. Understanding Suppressor Back-Pressure When you fire an unsuppressed modern sporting rifle, expanding gases follow the bullet down the barrel and exit freely into the atmosphere. Some of that gas bleeds through your gas port, cycles back through the gas tube,…

As Ukraine continues to face major hurdles in the war, like conscripting enough people to fight the war, new policies are suggested. Now, the Kiev mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, has suggested that lowering the draft age from 25 to 18 could be a solution to no one wanting to fight in the war. The ruling class still has not figured out that not very many intelligent moral human beings want to fight for any regime. Last year, Ukraine lowered the draft age from 27 to 25 and tightened enforcement to replenish the ranks of its military as troops continue to suffer…

After the Hanson buck and the Rompola buck, the most famous (and now controversial) typical whitetail of all time is “the General.” As far as we know, this deer was never killed by a hunter. But its sheds were discovered by a Nebraska farmer in 1959. They have an estimated net score of an eye-popping 218⅛ inches, which is larger than the Hanson buck. The rack scored 195 ⅛ without a spread measurement. Over the decades, the General antlers were sold…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadTonight should be a fun night for most people. Here in North America, we’ll see one of nature’s best light shows—the aurora borealis (aka Northern Lights)—should the clouds cooperate. Likewise, those in the Southern Hemisphere should be getting a glimpse of the aurora australis (aka Southern Lights). The Northern and Southern lights are due to a severe geomagnetic storm, rated G4 on NOAA’s five-point scale. It’s currently in progress and pushing the auroras far beyond their usual range. If the skies stay clear, people as far south as Alabama, Texas, and Northern California could…

by Lee Williams ATF agents took two inert RPGs they had seized from Patrick “Tate” Adamiak’s home, inserted an RPG training device and a bunch of additional parts, fired a few 7.62x39mm rounds and classified them as Destructive Devices. Were it not for these charges, Adamiak would be a free man.  However, the agents never said in their reports or courtroom testimony that the RPG training device will fire rounds on its own—without an RPG even in the room. Also, agents never mentioned that the ATF itself classifies the RPG training device as a firearm, because it can shoot rifle…

Outdoor Christmas decorations aren’t flying at U.S. Air Force base housing in the Florida Panhandle, at least not before Thanksgiving.The private company that operates a community of homes near Tyndall Air Force Base recently instructed residents to remove their Yuletide decorations and refrain from putting them back up until after Turkey Day.“All holiday decorations should be reflective in their respective months and not any sooner than 30 days before the given holiday,” the landlord said in the message.Air Force Capt.

Nick Schmitz has hunted North Dakota for two decades, and he was lucky enough to draw a bighorn sheep tag this fall after putting in for eight years. Schmitz punched that tag opening day on what looks like a state-record ram. The green score of 190 6/8 inches is pending as the horns undergo a 60-day drying period. One of the hunters alongside Schmitz for the achievement was his buddy David Suda, who happens to hold the current North Dakota record…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.  At the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, DeepSeek senior researcher Chen Deli made a rare public appearance late last week, warning that artificial intelligence could wipe out most jobs within the next 10 to 20 years. For our readers, this warning sounds very familiar; we’ve been highlighting the same “jobpocalypse” scenario for years, including in our March 2023 report, “AI Will Lead to 300 Million Layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.” “This will shake society to its core,” Deli told the audience at the state-backed industry conference last Friday. He urged AI…

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — The United States has lifted a four-year arms embargo on Cambodia after announcing a resumption of the annual Angkor Sentinel military exercises in a sign that relations between Washington and China’s tiny but key regional ally are on the mend.Details of the resumptions were finalized by the Indonesia-based U.S. Mission to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on the sidelines of last month’s ASEAN Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, between President Donald Trump and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. “Based on Cambodia’s diligent pursuit of peace and security, the United States will remove the arms…

The United Kingdom has decided that it will stop sharing “drug boat” intelligence with Washington, after the United States began its attacks on civilian vessels in the Caribbean, without evidence.  The UK has said it is not in agreement with the U.S. committing war crimes against these boats.

The regulations it references applied to that time period, and have not been updated. Philip Propst couldn’t see his dogs or the bear they’d cornered, but he could hear them.
