    Jeffrey Herf's book “Unexplained Wars against Israel” is more topical than ever. Jews are not special, but the hatred that hits them is. Because the West is always at the disposal of anti-Semitism, it differs from other inhuman hostilities against groups. .., the historian examines left hostility towards Jews: Where do false accusations such as apartheid, colonialism and imperialism against Israel come from? Who declared Zionism racism and fascism? And who brought the countless comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany into circulation? ... left-wing extremists in the period between the Six Day War in 1967 and 1989, when Eastern Bloc...

    Social media is swarming around the claims that a current (or former, as his position has been scrubbed from the internet) vice-president with Dominion Voter Systems who previously admitted that it was possible for hackers to hack into their voting systems, allegedly, posted several anti-cop, anti-Trump and, frankly anti-American social media posts. If you search the company’s profile Eric Coomer has since been removed from their page of directors.

    The Idea looked better on Paper - In World War Two Japan had a paratroop corps, Germany provided the technical assistance with equipment implementation in the late 1930’s. One of the methods was the use of parachute-equipped containers housing the firearms, this was dropped separately from the paratrooper. In the combat drop at Sumatra (Japanese) and Crete (Germany), both drop zones had problems of weapons containers landing far from troops, resulting being out gunned. Especially, the experiences of the airborne attack on Palembang in Sumatra, Dutch East Indies, February 13-15, 1942. In that battle, the airborne troops were equipped with...

    These .380 mouse guns or "get off me" guns can be a good choice for personal defense. Prices vary from $200 to $700, some current full size handgun model may be a better choice to go. But, if you’re looking for good concealment carry with a decent bite, then the .380 caliber is a good choice to consider. Before we get into the list, a quick word about .380 pocket size pistols and a pragmatic opinion. Besides the concealment attribute, most of these pistols aren't that great. Full size semi-auto pistols are reliable, but the child size pistols are hindered...

    Having a reliable pistol that you're comfortable with is ideal for pocket carrying. If you're a newbie and want to start with a reliable pistol while working on your skillsets before going onto a higher caliber. Why not start with a .22 cal snub nose? Some may argue that the .22 WMR is too small for personal defense. Those that think this way are looking at it from a hunter mindset, that is one shot one kill. However, for self-defense purpose the primary objective is stop the bad guy from doing bad things. There are three ways to stop...

    This is for the average gun enthusiasts and newbies that enjoy shooting and want a little more understanding of how a barrel twist rate can affect accuracy. So does barrel twist rate affect accuracy on an AR15? The short technical answer is that barrel twist starts the bullet spinning at a given rate to stabilize the bullet. The rate has to be constant for the utmost accuracy. On the opposite end of the spectrum – Decreasing the twist rate will almost certainly result in a dramatic decrease in accuracy. Another factor is can the wrong weight of the bullet for...

    The "trench gun" may be one of the most interesting gun of World War I. When one hears the word most think of the Winchester Model 1897 fitted with a metal handguard and bayonet adapter assembly. What some people don't know is the other shotgun that was issued to the doughboys was the Remington Model 10 pump-action shotgun. Winchester was at the peak of its production during WWI. This is where Remington made its way in with the Model 10 to fill the demands. The term "trench gun" was never an official designation but was widely used to denote a...

    At one time back in the day, inside most police cars were equipped with an M-870 shotgun. Then there's an odd ball patrolman with his AR with .223 caliber. Which patrolman has the advantage? The logic behind the usage of an AR stems from situations where a firearm needed for greater range than a shotgun. Or how about shotgun folks talk about having knock down power to stop the fight with its 00 buck. AR's high velocity & capacity with 30 round mag makes up for lack of Knock Down Power. Which is better? There needs to be a...

    In early beginning of World War II, the Germans used the deadly and effective “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” other wise known as the MG-42 machine gun. The chain-fed light machine gun could pump out 900-1500 per minute of 7.92x57mm Mauser rounds. The sound of the MG-42 was different and when faced against it, you were outgunned. The good news for the allies was that to have it manufactured was very expensive and time consuming for the Germans. So the Germans comes out with the MG-34 machine gun. This firearm was cheaper and quicker to manufacture and put out to the troops. However,...

You can get just about any size and caliber all design to go with you anywhere. Memory Lane In the 80s, the Walther PPK ruled the roost, unless you were into revolvers. The early 90s saw the introduction of the compact Glock, and just a few years later the gun industry was flooded with .380s designed for pocket carry. Now, polymer-framed, striker-fired compacts are a popular choice, along with compact 1911s and snub-nosed revolvers. Here are some...
