If anyone has done yeoman’s work in pointing out the danger of so-called “gun-free” zones in our nation, it has been John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). While his numerous warnings have seemingly fallen on the deaf ears of gun-ban advocates, he resolutely carries on, telling the truth that everyone needs to understand: “Gun-free” zones are only gun-free for the law-abiding. After the September 28 attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, Lott again pointed out how an attack in a “gun-free” zone resulted in no victims being…

We became the woke department, but not anymore.”Hegseth’s actions — and plans for more — are…

Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Mises Institute. “The era of the Department of Defense is over… From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting… We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country… You kill people and break things for a living.” — Pete Hegseth “America is under invasion from within… That’s a war, too.

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you spend much time on social media, particularly in prepping or survival circles, you’ve no doubt run across the suggestion that wasp spray makes for a dandy self-defense weapon.
