There’s a heck of a lot more to low level armed conflict than tearing off into the bush with a $1500 weapon and cool-guy kit when your only training is shooting fast at stationary targets; the people that do that are speed bumps for the well trained, unassuming guy with a 30-30 and a solid plan.

There’s definitely a lot of skills to learn when a person decides they want to be a better protector and provider for their families, so I don’t blame someone for not being good at all of them. What I do blame people for is being too lazy to put time into the skills that aren’t as flashy or as easy to learn as something like shooting.

Some of these topics are harder to learn because of their highly technical nature, these would be things like medical or communications training…

“Autocrats only understand one word: no, no, no. No you will not take my country, no you will not take my freedom, no you will not take my future…A dictator bent on rebuilding an empirewill never be able to ease the people’s love of liberty. Brutality will never grind down the will of the free.”—President Biden

Oh, the hypocrisy.

To hear President Biden talk about theRussia’s aggression against Ukraine, you might imagine that Putin is the only dictator bent on expanding his military empire through the use of occupation, aggression and oppression.

Yet the United States is no better, having spent much of the past half-century policing the globe, occupying other countries, and waging endless wars.

What most Americans fail to recognize is that these ongoing wars have little to do with keeping the country safe and everything to do with propping up a military industrial…

“If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being,he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government.”— President Dwight D. Eisenhower

The government wants us to bow down to its dictates.

It wants us to buy into the fantasy that we are living the dream, when in fact, we are trapped in an endless nightmare of servitude and oppression.

Indeed, with every passing day, life in the American Police State increasingly resembles life in the dystopian television seriesThe Prisoner.

First broadcast 55 years ago in the U.S.,The Prisoner—described as “James Bond meets George Orwell filtered through Franz Kafka”—confronted societal themes that are still relevant today: the rise of a…

This gives all new meaning to the phrase “Stop resisting”. Remember this guy when you get pulled over, especially if you are one of the people who believe that it would never happen to you because you don’t do anything wrong. Most folks are brainwashed into thinking that cops are the good guys; They are not. There are criminals in their lot just like every other segment of the population. They may be the good guy or they guy in this story. The only problem is they act under the color of law. You certainly wouldn’t pull over for a thug in a dark ghetto alley, but on a dark highway with cherries on you have no choice. Now you are under the control of a man, or men, with guns and hand cuffs. Give a man unlimited power, no witnesses and a gun and see what happens. Give a…

“Normal Or Crazy”

by Al Benson Jr.

A House committee on federal misconduct is now under way. Suffice it to say it is long past time for this. This committee is exposing collusion between the FBI, the Democrats, and the media. Many wonder how the American people will have any chance for somewhere near honest government unless this political rot is exposed and pulled out. House Republicans are displaying how unequal the application of the law has been. Our two-tiered system of “justice” has reigned supreme!

On the Senate side, Senator Chuck Grassley’s committee has said the FBI is “infected with political sickness.” Who can argue with that? The FBI under Wray is little more than another appendage of the Democratic Party. Biden is the first president to surrender his government to the Woke mob.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the other night that, in the next election, Americans can have the choice between…

Gear Snobbery and the Principle of Diminishing Returns

I have a good friend who goes by “BoltBoy.” Solid guy, he also designs and sells some cool Baofeng accessories. One day BoltBoy went to a precision rifle competition. Active duty and former scout snipers were among the competition, most of them sporting some very expensive weapons. One shooter even had a weather meter that was digitally slaved to an electronic DOPE card. The average shooter in this competition had sunk $3-4000 into their rifle setups.

Some of these setups are worth up to $6,000

Meanwhile, BoltBoy shows up with his trusty .308 Remington 783. With factory M80 ball ammo, a cheap .22LR scope and a few other accessories, he had invested $600 into his setup. This drew some friendly banter and jokes from the other competitors, who brushed him off as a first-timer who would eventually learn that he needed better equipment.

BoltBoy placed 2nd overall that day…

Epiphany

“In the wider understanding, the Ukraine conflict is a global crisis through which a final revelation has been made. No nation, no matter how powerful, how strong or how seemingly vibrant, that engages, elects, supports and tolerates those dedicated to its destruction, can long survive. The United States, as I have warned many times, is not America. There’s a reason it’s called the United States OF America, because America is independent of the political construct of fifty independent, sovereign states that form a coalition called the United States, but were that political entity to cease to exist, this would still be America and the people will still be Americans.

The reason I bring this up now, is that the political construct of the United States is likely to go the way of Rhodesia or Burma, the previous names of the familiar nations of Zimbabwe and Myanmar. Ukraine seems to be the catalyst for the cataclysmic future of the United States. We are now exposing to the world the absolute weakness of the United States military, not just the woke fighting forces, but the inability of the manufacturing and supply chains needed to support them.”

Step away from the blinders thatpartisan politics uses to distract, divide and conquer, and you will find that we are drowning in a cesspool of problems that individually and collectively threaten our lives, liberties, prosperity and happiness.

These are not problems the politicians want to talk about, let alone address, yet we cannot afford to ignore them much longer.

Foreign interests are buying up our farmland and holding our national debt.As of 2021,foreign persons and entities owned 40.8 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, 47% of which was forestland, 29% in cropland, and 22% in pastureland. Foreign land holdings have increased by an average of 2.2 million acres per year since 2015. Foreign countries alsoown $7.4 trillion worth of U.S. national debt, with Japan and China ranked as our two largest foreign holders of our debt.

Corporate and governmental censorship have created digital…

“The last thing this country needs are police agencies armed with killer robots,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People. “These robots signal a tipping point in the final shift from a Mayberry style of community policing to a technologically-driven version of law enforcement dominated by artificial intelligence, surveillance, and militarization. It’s only a matter of time before these killer robots become as common—and as deadly—as SWAT teams. Moreover, how long before mistakes are made, technology gets hacked or goes haywire, robots are deployed based on false or erroneous information, and innocent individuals get killed in the line of fire?”
