Spare Magazines – Necessary Gear or a Tacticool No?
Guns have a lot of features and details to their design, but if one feature stands alone in getting the best—or worst—press, it’s probably capacity. Stacking as many rounds of ammo as possible in your carry gun is seen as a necessity, understandably. After all, you can’t predict or control how a fight for your […]
Army General Says Americans Too Fat and Lazy to Serve
The United States Armed Forces is falling dangerously short of its recruitment goals. One of the biggest problems for each branch is the smaller and smaller pool of eligible recruits. About 12% of eligible youth show interest in military service. Many don’t qualify because they are obese. Of those who do, Army drill instructors routinely […]
Ford Motor Company Slashes Jobs in Name of Progress
The future is unemployment… Years ago, critics of automotive electrification said the end result would be mass layoffs in the auto industry. While we haven’t quite reached that cataclysmic event, we’re getting just one step closer as Ford announces it will be axing 3,000 positions to free up resources for electric car development. That’s right, […]
1st Look: Walther PDP F-Series & Streamlight TLR-7
I have been really impressed with the Walther PDP Full Size Pistol. That said, the chance to take a 1st Look at the New Walther PDP F-Series and Streamlight TLR-7 did not disappoint… While I think their market grab for a “Female” pistol is poorly executed, I do like the F-Series PDP. It is comfortable, […]
Lightweight Heavyweights
Some years ago, I got a Taurus M942 snub 22 revolver for testing. Sadly, the gun failed to stabilize any 22 LR rounds I shot through it … at any distance. I felt badly about it, returned it and asked for a replacement. That didn’t happen. Since, I’ve worked with other 22 rimfire understudies of […]
Another Cruel Byproduct of Increased IRS Funding
The IRS is getting the biggest increase to its budget in recent memory – more than $80 billion spread over the next 10 years. While this has a number of politicians saying the agency is about to unleash an army of tax collectors on the nation, the IRS says its first hires will be more […]
Marines at Biden’s Anti-MAGA Speech Politicize Military
You might have a problem when CNN’s Brianna Keilar and a prominent Democratic Party official — and Iraq War vet — call out President Joe Biden for needlessly politicizing the military in last week’s primetime address denouncing the vast majority of Republicans. Presidents in both parties have used troops and military hardware as a backdrop […]
Killing for Transplants: Exposing China’s Murder for Organs Practice
Organ transplants are a marvel of modern medicine. Doctors should adhere to the highest ethical guidelines to procure organs and find a suitable match. However, standards in China are decidedly lower. According to recent reporting, China’s thriving transplant program, worth an estimated $1 billion a year, is bolstered by forced organ harvesting from marginalized groups […]
Putin’s Folly in Ukraine Draws Dark Parallels to First World War
The first six months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have resulted in an asymmetric stalemate, an outcome few predicted. Russia had spent 10 times more on its military than Ukraine and the weapons gap in artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and military aircraft meant Kyiv’s only hope was to hold out long enough for sufficient foreign […]
