While it is far from being an overwhelming lead, a recent national survey revealed that more Americans agree with Republicans’ hands-off policies in dealing with gun control than Democrats’ restrictive proposals for more gun laws. The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed Americans on a number of different matters, among them being gun…

First, President Trump has called off diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, The New York Times reported Monday.

WE HAD FOUR DAYS TO HUNT. Just four fleeting days. In jail, I suppose, they’d have seemed pretty long. But if you’re a deer hunter, you know how short they were.  Every trick we knew failed. Hunting conditions were terrible. It was so dry that Idaho dust squirted up with every step and you could hear a grasshopper gnawing on a leaf half a mile…

The psychological operation continues as Christian nationalism is on the rise, threatening the rights and liberty of everyone. Charlie Kirk’s pastor, Rob McCoy, doesn’t make any attempt to hide what the right is now attempting to force on everyone through this psyop. McCoy, who is a prominent Christian nationalist, opened up Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday, September 21st, in Glendale, Arizona, following performances by Christian artists. McCoy said, “Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he could get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, you’d come to its source. And that’s…

Some U.S. Navy families are experiencing delays of up to 45 days in processing their claims for child care fee assistance — aid that offsets the cost of child care in civilian communities when care isn’t available on military installations. Temporary staffing shortages in the service are causing the delays, said Destiny Sibert, a spokesperson for Navy Installations Command. Navy officials are working to reduce the backlogs that are causing the issues, she said. The delays are not 45 days in all cases, Sibert added.“To mitigate the impact, Navy is bringing in temporary personnel to help sustain operations and reduce…

United States ruler, Donald Trump, is hailing the late Charlie Kirk as a “martyr for freedom.” Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University on September 10th. “He is a martyr for American freedom,” he added. “None of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither will history.” Pam Bondi Faces Backlash For Saying She Will “Target” Americans Over Hate Speech Trump made the comment about Kirk at a memorial service honoring the legacy and influence of the controversial conservative.  Trump also claimed Kirk was one of the “giants of our generation,” at said memorial service. Kirk, who co-founded conservative action…

While Florida gun owners are celebrating the recent court ruling overturning the state’s ban on open carry of firearms, anti-gun Democrats in the Sunshine State are much less enthused. In fact, some are downright angry over the situation. On September 10, Florida’s First District Court of Appeals ruled that the open carry ban violates citizens’ Second Amendment rights, reversing the conviction of the central figure in the case. Then, on September 15, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sent a letter to law enforcement agencies and prosecutors stating that “no Florida court will any longer be empowered to convict a defendant”…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  We sure have seen a lot of really crazy things happen so far this year. But in the minds of most Americans, there is one crisis that far outweighs everything else. As I have been documenting for years, our standard of living has been collapsing as the cost of living has risen much faster than our incomes have. As a result, 67 percent of U.S. workers are now living paycheck to paycheck. We are in the midst of the worst cost-of-living crisis in modern history, and Statista…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPeople often look at preparedness through a basic lens of supplies, checklists, and storage rooms. And, yes, it feels great as our mountain if prepping supplies grows—I love it. That mindset covers the basics. It’s the logical starting point and does a lot of good for getting prepared. But people who go deeper into their preparedness—just like you are doing now, know that preparedness is a thinking game. You know that what works today might not tomorrow, and that rigid plans, like an egg, are easy to crack. If you’re reading this, odds are…

I have a strong desire to become good at things that I am historically not naturally very good at. I was once told that “no one can shoot a pistol worth a shit,” and for the most part, I’ve found that to be true for most of us regular guys – especially when it comes to combining both speed and accuracy. Part of the problem, I think, lies in most of us just not having the proper coaching, falling back on old habits, or simply not focusing our training regimen to actually build skills that will make us better pistol…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Before he began operating a fishing charter off the coast of Southern California, Captain Evan Kraft was a pinhead. That’s not because Kraft had abandoned his mechanical engineering degree to fish (which he had), but because he’d slid from a paying charter customer into the daily grind of a deckhand. “Pinhead” is slang for guys like Kraft who work for free so they can fish for free. “Anyone who works in our industry is some kind of crazy,” says Kraft, who has since sweated his way…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Authorities said the gun used in the killing of Charlie Kirk may be a decades-old, untraceable rifle, authorities have said.Prosecutors and officials identified the gun as a Mauser Model 98 .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle, a type originally manufactured in Germany for military use during both World Wars. It may predate U.S. laws enacted in 1968 following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which required firearms to carry serial numbers or other identifying marks — making it harder for law enforcement to trace.Authorities said the firearm belonged to the grandfather of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old…

This article was originally published by Ryan McMaken at The Mises Institute.  Following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, many critics of Kirk posted content on social media in which they said rude things about Kirk—and even about his family members—while expressing delight about Kirk’s death.  Not surprisingly, many of Kirk’s supporters—and many other ordinary people—found these comments offensive and reprehensible. Perhaps as part of an effort to exploit the situation to improve her own political fortunes, US Attorney General Pam Bondi then declared that she, a government prosecutor, will “go after” those who engage in what she called…

With the decisive battles of 1950 through 1951 behind it, the Korean War simmered down to negotiations toward an armistice, in parallel with a seemingly endless series of minor melees over various strategic scraps of higher-altitude real estate. While United Nations and communist forces argued daily at Panmunjom — a village in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea — the soldiers who fought for those hillocks ultimately tallied up greater casualties than had been suffered in the first two years. One such embattled objective was Hill 420, called Outpost Harry by the Americans and Haros (“Charon,” the…

This story, “A Rhino That Would’ve Amused T.R.,” appeared in the December 1962 issue of Outdoor Life. WHEN THEODORE ROO­SEVELT, my great-grand­father, stepped down from the Presidency in 1909, it was clear that drastic measures would be needed to avoid widespread charges that he was simply back-seat driving for his successor, William H. Taft. As a matter of fact, if he stayed in the country, he would surely be tempted to give real substance to these charges. So T.R. seized the oc­casion…
