The King of the Big Game Cartridges It packs more than a little wallop, but when the critter is on the really large size, the .577 3-inch Nitro Express is your friend. The .577 3-inch Nitro Express is one of three cartridges that I have never been able to find an instance where a properly placed bullet failed to stop any charging animal with one shot. The other two are the 8-gauge and the 4-gauge rifles of the Victorian hunters. These last two weigh considerably more than a .577, and the 8-gauge has twice the recoil of a .577, while...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scolded Americans late last week for being against a Democrat measure that allows illegal aliens the right to vote. During a press conference in Austin, Texas, Pelosi argued that America must not suppress the vote of newly arrived legal immigrants, including those who arrive in caravans at the U.S.-Mexico border.

A man has revealed how running two minutes late for the doomed Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines flight saved his life. The Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 crashed six minutes after departing Addi Ababa, Ethiopia on Sunday morning killing all 157 people on board.

“There is a natural inclination in mankind,” wrote Benjamin Franklin, “to Kingly government.” He wasn’t alone. Convention delegate Hugh Williamson (NC), thought “it was pretty certain . . . that we should at some time or other have a King,” but he wished to postpone the event as long as possible. James Madison and George Washington made similar observations. Even John Adams in his Defense of the Constitutions of the United States of America predicted a future government “nearer (in) resemblance (to) the British constitution,” including a hereditary king and senate.1 Among the delaying features of our pre-17th Amendment Constitution...

If you're into precision long range shooting or hunting, you might want to listen to this guy. He's a former USMC sniper. The following is an excerpt from Caylen Wojcik while he was on a training shoot, he shares with us malfunctions that happens while you’re in the midst of shooting and goes over on what you can do about it. This was an awesome stage, and I thought it was well thought out. This one involved 4 targets: 2 on the north side of the firing line, and 2 on the south side of the firing line. Targets on...

There’s nothing like a manufactured scandal to cripple your opponent when the going gets tough. Just ask President Donald Trump, hamstrung by fake news stories of unproven Russian collusion. Mainstream Media Style?The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada’s $1-billion-dollar-a-year taxpayer-funded state television network, seems to have come up with a winning race horse to take scandal-plagued Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reelection in October. From what appears to be a planted town hall question in Kitchener, Ont. Thursday night, the CBC was among the first news outlets to pounce on a story linking Conservative leader Andrew Scheer to the thoroughly debunked...

Despotism exhibited by Congress is a sign that America has already entered into a despotic tyranny that will end in the destruction of the Constitution along with our rights, liberty, freedom; that is unless we throw the Democrat socialists out Last Friday, the Democrat controlled house passed the partisan “For the People Act.” Although the bill isn’t over 10,000 pages long, like the Affordable Care Act, it’s still equivalent to reading a large novel, and once again Congress had to pass it to find out what’s in it. Unlike novels, the plot isn’t obvious to the reader, and the bill...

The United States Constitution needs to be amended so that state legislatures that have members who can be elected by illegal aliens, or are themselves illegal aliens, are prohibited from taking part in the constitutional amendment process and the Electoral College process.

Once the Democrats took control of Congress, they began their usual nonsense with a renewed fury that I have never seen before. Part of this was all sorts of efforts to ban things. They really out-did themselves. I had a hard time keeping up with their latest efforts on banning things, raising taxes, and trying to undo everything that Trump tried to do. Here is the updated on-going list. It is almost double the size of the original posting last year. Enjoy or cry. This is a compilation of the many, many things that American Democrats (often radical totalitarian communists...

Some ego maniac showmen conduct character assassination by ridicule Thank You, Sean Hannity for bringing the Fox spotlight back on to the celebrity who first cast presidential candidate Donald Trump as the Perpetual Orange Man, which lived on as the heart and soul of the Hate Donald Trump Movement. That it was Hannity who outed Glenn Beck for what he did to the nation is nothing less than Poetic Justice. Kudos to social media-suppressed Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit for having the gonads to write about last night’s outing.

There are so many good 9mm handguns available to shooters these days and the choices are just humongous. Going with a full size 9mm handgun for home defense is hard to beat. Combine this with quality loads will give you knock down power and able to rapidly fire accurately is a huge plus. This may be one of the reasons why the FBI have gone back to the 9mm as the primary service pistol for their agents. Almost hands down 9mm handgun is now one of the most popular self-defense calibers for concealed and open carry. In this segment of...

Michael Bloomberg will not run for president. That was the main outtake from the businessman and philanthropist’s op-ed for Bloomberg the other day. But the more important outtake was his announcement of a new climate change initiative: Beyond Carbon. “I will launch a new, even more ambitious phase of the campaign — Beyond Carbon: a grassroots effort to begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy,” Bloomberg said.

Designed as a Lightweight, Inexpensive, Ease of Handling and Less Recoil Bolt Action Rifle When Ruger American rifle hit the market back in 2012, it was an instant hit amongst hunters that were looking for high performance but affordable. As expected, Ruger has since produced several other versions of the rifle specifically for particular niches in the hunting and shooting communities. Ruger American Predator comes to mind for hunting varmints and predators. Theres Ruger American Compact which is a lighweight rifle chambered in a less recoiling cartridge. So what is this Ruger American Ranch? This rifle is considered a handy...

Michelle Malkin is angry about this, as all conservatives should be. Malkin points out, Jones has been trying to stop conservatives from speaking for years. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) allowed America-hating admitted communist Van Jones to speak on the main stage two days ago on Feb. 28, 2019. To allow this disgusting, unreformed, black-nationalist Maoist to speak at CPAC, an annual event many movement conservatives considered to be their sanctum sanctorum, is truly disturbing. He was there for an on-stage chat with ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp about the conservative contribution to emptying the prisons, or as the Koch...

The overwhelming majority of public schools in the United States suffer discontent and strife because of the rapacious teachers unions, the AFT and the NEA Go online and do research on the recent West Virginia teachers strike, and low and behold, the Democratic Media Industrial Complex all get in line to report on this non-catastrophe. They are all there: National Public Radio, the New York Times, CNN, USA Today, CBS News, and Time Magazine—to get behind the teachers union like Pavlov’s dogs. As the West Virginia House of Delegates killed a bill that would allow for charter schools and private...

Socialism is a lot like three-card Monte where the promises of winning are not just exaggerated but impossible Socialism is now a significant component of the reinvented Democratic party gaining momentum and visibility. Recently Democratic Presidental candidate Bernie Sanders held his first campaign rally in Brooklyn, New York amidst a crowd of cheering and enthusiastic supporters many of whom represent the youth and future of America.

In that regard Bernie Sanders is still Hillary Clinton’s straw man Had it not been for Hillary Clinton, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders would never have been in the 2016 Democrat primaries. True that the then 75-year-old Sanders would have been the same old, same old Vermont senator spouting off his crazed Socialist ideas from Senate back benches, but he became Clinton’s straw man in 2016 primaries—to keep anyone with a better chance of winning DNC sanction—leaving the coast clear for a soon-to-be-defeated Hillary Clinton.

What should you top that AR-15 with? Scope selection varies by region, usual range to target, time of day you're afield. Hunting a natural predator can be an exhilarating and rewarding experience. There's nothing quite like hunting something that can be just as clever and canny as you are. Coyotes fit this bill nicely. They're smart, fast, tough creatures that also happen to be destructive to livestock and other game animals like pheasant and quail. All of this combines to make coyote hunts a popular and enjoyable pastime. That is, if you can actually hit the sneaky suckers. Coyotes are...

Pick the right entry point and you're already on your way to enjoying a fun, long-term shooting hobby. For a new shooter, buying their first handgun can be an intimidating experience. What brand, what style, revolver or semiauto, and most of all what caliber? Most people jump straight into picking out their favorite handgun without thinking about what caliber it is. Caliber choice is critical for new shooters. Too much gun can be a handful; too little and you might be under gunned. Beginners looking for a firearm gun to do. For example, a new shooter may desire a firearm...

Moderate and moral Democrats live in the same fantasy as AOC’s unicorn rainbow farts The former Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore-dubbed “Pompous Little Twit” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s list of “moderate” Democrats she threatens to unseat in 2020 elections is not only laughable, but shows how she’s out there chasing down phantoms and fantasies. A “moderate” Democrat is as difficult to find as a “moral” Democrat. AOC has publicly vowed that she would help progressive activists unseat some 26 “moderate” Democrats in their districts in 2020 elections after they sided with Republicans on a legislative amendment Wednesday, in a bill that would expand...
