Bush and Obama to Host Disinformation Conferences After Trump’s Announcement
Barack Obama and George W. Bush will be holding conferences on the threat of disinformation following former President Donald Trump’s expected presidential announcement.

What Went Wrong Tuesday? A Post-Election Autopsy
Washington, D.C. – The results of Tuesday’s election were, in a word, odd. Almost no one, except perhaps for those who were cheering the Democrats on to a big win, conceded in advance of the counting that such an outcome was possible. A book can, indeed probably will be written about all the things that went […]
Democrats’ Foreign Donation Loophole Still Not Fixed
Almost all online transactions require customers to enter their credit card’s customer verification value (CVV). It’s standard when buying or selling — or donating — online to minimize fraud and potentially unlawful foreign transactions.

Police Hit With Major Blow – Where Do We Go From Here?
Given that not even the pundits and people paid to prognosticate got it right on the midterms, I’m hesitant to add amateur analysis to the mix.

Dangers Abound in Clean Energy Supply Chain
Inside the batteries that go into our electronic toys, computer workstations, cars and so much more are raw materials that come from mines and manufacturers in some fairly dodgy and dangerous places.

S&W Model Performance Center Model 19 Carry Comp: Perfect Carry .357?
It was in 1974 I saw the Smith & Wesson Model 19, built on the famous K-frame. I had read about them, of course, in all the major gun rags. It had those great trumpet-shaped Goncalo Alves target grips and a deeply blued finish you could check your teeth in…and it only cost $150. Back […]
Best .380 Auto Pistols: Ultimate Pocket Pistols? [2022]
9mm and .45 ACP are probably the most popular concealed carry rounds out there, but there are definitely other cartridges that are worth considering. Among those, one of my favorites is .380 ACP, also called .380 Auto. This round may not get as much attention as others, but it, along with the pocket pistols it […]

While conservatives seem to be abandoning former President Donald Trump ahead of his potential 2024 bid House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-Ny.) is doubling down on the former president. In a statement to The New York Times, Rep. Stefanik said that she’s “proud” to endorse the former President despite the fact he hasn’t officially […]
Unassuming Career Shortage Portends Increasing Danger
Ask someone what the greatest threat facing the country is, and you’ll get a host of answers generally aimed at making your hair stand on end. But what if someone said the greatest threat facing the U.S., and capitalism as a whole, is a lack of accountants? That might seem like a non-starter. No accountants? […]
