Chance Saltzman, laid out the mission quite clearly in his “Space Warfighting – A Framework for Planners” earlier this year: “to achieve space superiority — to ensure freedom of movement in space for our forces while denying the same to our adversaries.”Saltzman is correct.

When I started as a broke 18-year-old Alaska resident, I took my Remington Model 710 in .30/06. Afterward, I upgraded to a Model 700 in .25/06. Gradually over the years I refined my setup, using both factory and custom rifles with one primary goal — minimizing weight. I used what worked, and fitted many of my rifles with the same hardware and accessories. This year I’m making a radical departure from that formula.…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, has been exposed by his own board for widespread misconduct and corruption, George Christensen writes. A Swiss-led internal investigation uncovered luxury expenses, misuse of funds, and political manipulation of WEF reports.  Whistle-blower revelations also detail workplace abuse, sexual misconduct, and hypocritical elite excess at Davos. Schwab’s planned succession collapsed, and he was forced to resign amid coordinated leaks and media fallout.  The WEF’s collapse signals the end of a corrupt, elitist system masked as global progressivism. Governments must cut all ties.…

This year MDT, known for their many precision rifle chassis, introduced the MDT CRBN stock — a carbon-fiber drop-in stock that’s just at home in competition as in the backcountry.

It’s the connection between you…

It stands as an example of mass-produced, affordable excellence, and it has for 75 years. There are literally millions of 870s still on the job. With more than 11,000,000 made and (hopefully)…
