The penny, which costs more to make than it's worth, will be going away. That's a shocking reversal of government policy. Usually, the government doesn't stop producing anything that's overpriced or just plain worthless. I'm just about old enough to remember little pieces of candy that sold for a penny at a little wooden-floored store near my house called “Mac's.” The man behind the counter was, of course, Mac. If there was a woman behind the counter, it was Mrs. Mac. I will still bend double to pick up a penny off the sidewalk, even in a snowstorm. My wife...Article Link

1970 haben Deep Purple ihr legendäres Album "Deep Purple In Rock" herausgebracht. Als Vorbild für das Cover musste das amerikanische Monument "Mount Rushmore" herhalten. "Deep Purple In Rock" ist insgesamt das vierte Studioalbum der Band, aber das erste in der sogenannten "Mark-II-Besetzung". Die besteht aus Sänger Ian Gillan, Gitarrist Ritchie Blackmore, Organist Jon Lord, Bassist Roger Glover und Drummer Ian Paice. Für einige Fans gilt "Deep Purple In Rock", oder auch nur "In Rock", als das erste Heavy-Metal-Album aller Zeiten. Wohin man es auch immer einsortieren möchte – für den Musikjournalisten Matthias Breusch hat das Album die Musikwelt definitiv verändert. Mit "Deep Purple In Rock" hat sich die Band damals neu orientiert. Es sollte härter und dramatischer werden. Dazu passte natürlich die Stimme von Ian Gillan ungemein gut, die er fantastisch einsetzen kann, zum Beispiel beim Höhepunkt vom Meisterwerk "Child In Time". Besonders war und ist aber auch das Zusammenspiel von Ausnahmegitarrist Ritchie Blackmore und Organist Jon Lord. Zum einen ergänzen sie sich soundtechnisch ungemein gut. Zum anderen ist es auch eine Art Konkurrenzkampf zwischen den beiden Instrumenten, der immer wieder auch als Call and Response – wie wir es vom Blues kennen – in den Songs zu hören ist. So beispielsweise auch im Openersong "Speed King". Neben der Musik ist natürlich auch das Plattencover von "Deep Purple In Rock" nicht nur legendär, sondern wortwörtlich monumental. Auf dem Artwork der Platte sehen wir die Bandmitglieder eingemeißelt in einen Berg. Es ist eines der ikonischsten Plattencover der Rockgeschichte. In dem amerikanischen Monument in den Rocky Mountains sind normalerweise die US-Präsidenten George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt und Abraham Lincoln zu sehen. Mit über zehn Minuten Länge ist "Child in Time" ein richtiges Monster von einem Song. Aber diese Länge braucht der Song auch, damit man sich richtig reinfallen lassen kann, beginnend mit der epischen Orgel von Jon Lord bis hin zu den exzessiven Schreien von Ian Gillan und den bretternden Gitarren von Ritchie Blackmore. Inspiriert wurden Deep Purple zu "Child In Time" übrigens durch den Song "Bombay Calling“ von der Band It's A Beautiful Day. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Deep Purple In Rock" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (03:27) – "Speed King"(13:32) – "Bloodsucker"(17:40) – "Flight Of The Rat"(20:37) – "Hard Lovin' Man"(24:34) – "Child In Time"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/deep-purple-in-rock __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Președintele Donald Trump a anunțat că SUA vor dubla tarifele la importurile de oțel și aluminiu de la 25% la 50%, începând de miercuri. Vorbind la un miting din Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump a declarat că această măsură va contribui la stimularea industriei siderurgice locale și a ofertei naționale, reducând în același timp dependența de China. Presa internațională privește cu scepticism această mișcare. După cum transmite BBC, ”anunțul este cea mai recentă schimbare de direcție în abordarea lui Trump privind tarifele vamale. Până acum, tarifele impuse de Trump au adus în mare măsură la haos economic global. Comerțul și piețele au fost răsturnate, și multiple fisuri s-au format - sau s-au lărgit - în relațiile dintre SUA și alte țări, inclusiv unii dintre cei mai apropiați parteneri ai săi”.Reuters amintește că SUA sunt cel mai mare importator de oțel din lume, excluzând Uniunea Europeană, cu un total de 26,2 milioane de tone de oțel în 2024, potrivit Departamentului Comerțului.Prin urmare, noile tarife vor crește probabil prețurile oțelului în general, afectând atât industria, cât și consumatorii.NBC News observă că ”Trump a vizitat U.S. Steel după ce a indicat săptămâna trecută că va autoriza o fuziune controversată cu compania japoneză Nippon. Investitorii și membrii sindicatelor așteaptă răspunsuri din partea președintelui cu privire la forma acestei fuziuni.Președintele Joe Biden a respins acordul în ianuarie. El a blocat achiziția propusă de Nippon din motive de securitate națională, argumentând că aceasta ar pune în pericol lanțuri de aprovizionare critice”.Iar Le Monde notează că ”operațiunea, căreia și Donald Trump însuși i s-a opus de mult timp, s-a aflat în centrul campaniei prezidențiale americane din 2024. Aceasta, deoarece privește în primul rând Pennsylvania, un stat strategic din punct de vedere electoral, care este și leagănul industriei siderurgice din Statele Unite”.*Donald Trump și-a luat oficial rămas bun de la aliatul său, Elon Musk, care a părăsit rolul său extrem de controversat de la Departamentul pentru Eficiență Guvernamentală (DOGE). Prilej de comentarii sarcastice în numeroase publicații.”Un Donald Trump așezat la masă în timp ce Elon Musk stătea în picioare, protejat de un bust al lui Abraham Lincoln”, notează El País, citat de Courrier International.„Scena a amintit de o altă apariție celebră în Biroul Oval, din februarie, când președintele și magnatul au justificat primii pași ai DOGE. Cu excepția unui detaliu: de data aceasta, cel mai bogat om din lume, căruia i-au trebuit patru luni să sufere aceeași soartă ca majoritatea celor care se apropie prea mult de soarele lui Trump ca să-și ardă aripile, nu a fost însoțit de fiul său de patru ani”, remarcă ironic cotidianul spaniol.Ziarul belgian Le Soir consideră că alianța dintre chiriașul Casei Albe și Elon Musk a eșuat.”Donald Trump nu este prost. Iar anturajul său are grijă să păstreze puterea absolută.Prin urmare, Elon Musk a fost nevoit să abandoneze DOGE și poziția de oficial neales”Trump este ”conștient de daunele colaterale: creșterea impopularității, exasperarea crescândă în rândurile republicanilor cu o personalitate abruptă și un rol de sperietoare care ar putea dăuna taberei prezidențiale în timpul alegerilor parlamentare de la jumătatea mandatului din noiembrie 2026”.

In der zweiten Folge unserer Reihe zum Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg werfen wir einen genaueren Blick auf die dramatischen Entwicklungen zwischen der Wahl Lincolns und dem Ausbruch des Krieges. Wir stellen die beiden Hauptakteure vor: Abraham Lincoln und Jefferson Davis. Zwei Männer mit völlig unterschiedlichen Biografien, aber gleichermaßen zentral für das Geschehen. Außerdem besprechen wir den Beginn des Krieges mit dem Beschuss von Fort Sumter und die politische und gesellschaftliche Ausgangslage in Nord und Süd.

In this episode of The Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo takes listeners on a journey through the early life of Abraham Lincoln, tracing his transformation from a poor frontier boy in Kentucky to a rising political force. Born into hardship, Lincoln's character was shaped by loss, manual labor, and a relentless hunger for knowledge, which he fed through books like the Bible and Aesop's Fables. The episode highlights key formative experiences—his exposure to slavery as a child, a life-changing visit to a slave market in New Orleans, and his early political stances opposing slavery's expansion. Through humor, storytelling, and historical insight, Mr. Palumbo explores how Lincoln's evolving moral convictions and legal intellect laid the groundwork for his future role as a leader dedicated to justice and unity.

Abraham Lincoln: ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.' Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth. In his iconic Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln uttered the now-famous quote, “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.” These words encapsulate the essence of democracy and serve as a reminder of the fundamental principle on which nations are built: the power and authority lie with the citizens. https://www.socratic-method.com/quote-meanings-and-interpretations/abraham-lincoln-government-of-the-people-by-the-people-for-the-people-shall-not-perish-from-the-earth Mass Migration against the wishes of the People is...

Charles Cowlam stands out as one of the most remarkable con artists of nineteenth-century America. He talked his way into receiving pardons from both President Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Through deception, he secured a role investigating Lincoln's assassination. He preyed on lonely widows, attempted to manipulate a Florida election, and created a secret society to steal money. His cons were as bold as they were relentless. My guest, Frank W. Garmon Jr., has written the definitive book on this colorful charlatan. It's called A Wonderful Career in Crime: Charles Cowlam's Masquerades in the Civil War Era and Gilded Age.

What happened to deep male friendships? Michael speaks with author Sam Graham-Felsen about his deeply personal and widely resonant New York Times essay on the quiet epidemic of male loneliness. From childhood sleepovers to adult solitude, Graham-Felsen explores how once-intense male friendships fade with age—and what that says about masculinity, society, and emotional intimacy today. Together, they unpack historical shifts, social norms, and powerful data showing that American men are increasingly disconnected from one another. With reflections on politics, social media, and what we can learn from Abraham Lincoln and Herman Melville's letters to their male friends, this is a conversation about what it means to be a man—and a friend—in today's world. A must-listen for anyone navigating modern relationships—male or female. Original air date 27 May 2025.

Penúltima entrega de El Sur Resurgirá, con Pello Larrinaga y Bikendi Goiko-uria, en la que tratamos uno de los hechos crepusculares de la guerra, el asesinato del presidente de los Estados Unidos, Abraham Lincoln. Apenas 5 días después de la rendición de Lee, cuando parecía que lideraría la compleja posguerra que se avecinaba, Lincoln fue víctima de una conspiración ideada por partidarios del Sur que querían descabezar el gobierno federal. En esta interesante entrega desarrollamos la trama y conocemos a sus protagonistas. Como es habitual, con el Sur, no hay segunda propuesta de nuevo cuño, pero sí que os ofrecemos una repetición de anteriores temporadas. Hoy recuperamos otra de las entrevistas que tuvimos ocasión de realizar tras el programa en directo de Barcelona en 2017. Fue mucha la gente que se acercó a las jornadas Barcino Colonia Romana, y aquí os traemos la sabiduría de dos maestros del vidrio, Roberto Celades y Toni Gaya, que nos ayudan a conocer la historia de este material, desde Mesopotamia, pasando por Egipto, Roma, hasta la modernidad.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (05/26/25), Hank welcomes you to a special Memorial Day edition of the broadcast. In the midst of battling the evil of Nazism, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Churchill's words ring true today as we celebrate Memorial Day in the United States. A day to honor those who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” in their sacrifice for freedom. We here at the Christian Research Institute offer our deepest respect, honor, and thankfulness to those who have sacrificed all to protect and defend the freedoms we enjoy in this country. But we are also committed to preserving freedoms that are definitively being compromised in the present generation. As history demonstrates, we must ever remain vigilant. Which leads to a quintessential question: “Under what conditions is war justified?”

This week, we have a special episode in honor of Memorial Day, a holiday that honors those who have given their lives in service to our country and in preserving our freedom.In this episode, we look at the beginnings of Memorial Day, why we celebrate the holiday and how long we have done so. Then, we draw out the significance of the day by looking at the life and education of Abraham Lincoln. Thank you to everyone who serves or has served in our military for your time, support, and sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy each day.

It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. –Abraham Lincoln Check out John Lee Dumas' award winning Podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire on your favorite podcast directory.

The Gettysburg Address is the most famous speech of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and one of the most quoted speeches in United States history. It was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Battle of Gettysburg.

Imbued with atmospheric imagery, these persona poems and more “[clarify] not only the inextricable value of Black life and labor to the building of America, but the terrible price they were forced to pay in producing that labor” (Khadijah Queen). “How do you un-orphan a people?” Walker asks. “How do you pick up / shattered black porcelain and make / a new set of dishes fit to eat off?”While carefully attuned to the heartbreak and horrors of war, Walker's poems pay equal care to the pride, perseverance, and triumphs of their speakers. Evoking the formerly enslaved General Charles Young, Walker hums: “I am America's promise, my mother's song, / and the reason my father had every right to dream.” Expansive and intimate, Load in Nine Times is a resounding ode to the powerful ties of individual and cultural ancestry by an indelible voice in American poetry. Winner of the 2025 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. A native of Danville, Kentucky, Frank X Walker is the first African American writer to be named Kentucky Poet Laureate. Walker has published thirteen collections of poetry, including Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers, which was awarded the 2014 NAACP Image Award for Poetry and the Black Caucus American Library Association Honor Award for Poetry. Voted one of the most creative professors in the south, Walker coined the term “Affrilachia” and co-founded the Affrilachian Poets Collective, the oldest continuously running predominantly African American writing group in the country. He is a Professor of English, and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing program the University of Kentucky.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: 1 João 1:1-4 Plano De Leitura Anual: 1 Crônicas 16–18; João 7:28-53 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Robert, o filho de Abraham Lincoln, presenciou três eventos importantes: a morte de seu próprio pai, e o assassinato de James Garfield e de William McKinley, três presidentes dos EUA. Agora considere que o apóstolo João testemunhou quatro eventos cruciais para a história: a última ceia de Cristo, a Sua agonia no Getsêmani, a crucificação e a ressurreição. João sabia que a sua presença nesses eventos se deu para que ele testemunhasse sobre a vida de Jesus. Ele escreveu: “Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho destes acontecimentos e que os registrou aqui. E sabemos que seu relato é fiel” (JOÃO 21:24). E reafirma isso em sua carta: “Proclamamos a vocês aquele que existia desde o princípio, aquele que ouvimos e vimos com nossos próprios olhos e tocamos com nossas próprias mãos” (1 JOÃO 1:1). Ele sentia o forte compromisso de compartilhar o seu relato testemunhal de Jesus. Por quê? “Anunciamos-lhes aquilo que nós mesmos vimos e ouvimos”, ele disse, “para que tenham comunhão conosco” (v.3). Os acontecimentos de nossa vida podem ser surpreendentes ou comuns, mas em todo caso é Deus quem os coordena, para que possamos ser Suas testemunhas. Ao descansarmos na graça e na sabedoria de Cristo, falemos por Ele, mesmo nos momentos mais inesperados da vida. Por: BILL CROWDER

Pocket ofEncouragment #Nightlight #RTTBROS "Found in His Pocket: Unexpected Encouragement""Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." - Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV)On that fateful evening of April 14, 1865, as President Abraham Lincoln settled into his seat at Ford's Theatre, he carried with him more than just the weight of a nation recently emerged from civil war. In the pocket of his coat was a small newspaper clipping—a review praising his leadership and character.This simple paper treasure speaks volumes about the burden Lincoln bore. Throughout his presidency, perhaps no American leader had been more viciously attacked or cruelly caricatured. Political cartoons depicted him as an ape, a tyrant, and a bumbling fool. Newspapers openly called for his defeat, his disgrace, and sometimes even his death. The North criticized him for moving too slowly on emancipation, while the South reviled him as a destroyer of their way of life.Yet amid this storm of criticism, Lincoln had carefully preserved this small token of encouragement. We can imagine how this positive voice among the chorus of critics must have fortified his spirit during dark hours when doubt threatened to overwhelm him.What comfort this clipping must have provided—a reminder that not everyone viewed his work with scorn. How strengthening to know that someone recognized the wisdom and compassion that guided his difficult decisions. In a presidency marked by unbearable pressures, this small affirmation represented a light in the darkness.The presence of this clipping in Lincoln's pocket reminds us of a profound truth: even the strongest among us need encouragement. Even those called to the highest service require reminders that their work matters.In our own lives, we often face criticism and misunderstanding when we stand for what is right. Like Lincoln, we may find ourselves vilified for decisions made with the purest intentions. In those moments, we must treasure the affirmations God sends our way—whether through a kind word, an unexpected note, or the quiet assurance of Scripture.Today, consider whose life you might touch with words of encouragement. Your affirming message might become someone's treasured keepsake—perhaps even carried close to their heart during their darkest hour.

As the American Revolution broke out in New England in the spring of 1775, dramatic events unfolded in Virginia that proved every bit as decisive as the battles of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill in uniting the colonies against Britain. Virginia, the largest, wealthiest, and most populous province in British North America, was led by Lord Dunmore, who counted George Washington as his close friend. But the Scottish earl lacked troops, so when patriots imperiled the capital of Williamsburg, he threatened to free and arm enslaved Africans—two of every five Virginians—to fight for the Crown. Virginia’s tobacco elite was reluctant to go to war with Britain but outraged at this threat to their human property. Dunmore fled the capital to build a stronghold in the colony’s largest city, the port of Norfolk. As enslaved people flocked to his camp, skirmishes broke out. “Lord Dunmore has commenced hostilities in Virginia,” wrote Thomas Jefferson. “It has raised our countrymen into a perfect frenzy.” With a patriot army marching on Norfolk, the royal governor freed those enslaved and sent them into battle against their former owners. In retribution, and with Jefferson’s encouragement, furious rebels burned Norfolk to the ground on January 1, 1776, blaming the crime on Dunmore. The port’s destruction and Dunmore’s emancipation prompted Virginia’s patriot leaders to urge the Continental Congress to split from Britain, breaking the deadlock among the colonies and leading to adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Days later, Dunmore and his Black allies withdrew from Virginia, but the legacy of their fight would lead, ultimately, to Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. Chronicling these stunning and widely overlooked events in full for the first time is today’s guest, Andrew Lawler, author of A Perfect Frenzy: A Royal Governor, His Black Allies, and the Crisis that Spurred the American Revolution. He offers a new perspective on the American Revolution that reorients our understanding of its causes, highlights the radically different motivations between patriots in the North and South.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Irish-born Augustus Saint-Gaudens came to this country as a small child and over the course of his career and life, reaching into the early years of the 20th century, became an artist that truly defined a look for America in sculpture.  His extraordinary natural talent grew into a master artist who was able to create lifelike depictions in marble and bronze that brought a realism never before seen in American sculpture. Saint-Gauden's style combines realistic imagery, allegory and architectural elements to create unique and very modern experiences for viewers. He's perhaps best known for his monumental casts of Civil War heroes from Admiral Daniel Farragut, General William Tecumseh Sherman and President Abraham Lincoln.Joining The Gilded Gentleman for this episode is Thayer Tolles, the Marica F. Vilcek Curator of American Painting and Sculpture at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Thayer is a noted historian, writer and specialist in Saint-Gaudens life and work. This episode offers a full view of Saint-Gaudens extraordinary life and a detailed look at some of his most famous works. Listeners can also visit the Saint Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, New Hampshire. 

In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by 26-year-old John Wilkes Booth while watching a play in Washington, D.C. But killing the president wasn't Booth's only goal that night.

This is episode 222 - Zooming out to peer at 1863, and a bit of Namaqualand Copper and Gunny Bags. We've just entered the period of 1863 to 1865. It's also time to take a quick tour of 1863 as is our usual way. While the Transvaal Civil War has ended, the American Civil War is still going gangbusters. In the last 12 months, momentous events have shaped world history. Abraham Lincoln signed the the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863 making the abolition of slavery in the Confederate States a War goal. A speculative mania followed in 1853/4, alarming the Government of the Cape. In the 1850s, a wave of speculative mining booms swept across the globe, driven by dramatic gold and mineral discoveries in places like California, Australia, and South Africa. These were fuelled by exaggerated rumours, newspaper hype, and dubious prospecting claims. Tens of thousands of hopefuls chased fortunes, often to remote or inhospitable regions, believing the next strike was just over the ridge. This era gave rise to a kind of "treasure hysteria", where wildcat ventures and fraudulent schemes—what some dubbed “red herrings”—diverted investors and prospectors alike. King Moshoeshoe the first of the Basotho had taken a great deal of interest in the Transvaal Civil War. The Orange Free State had been instrumental — and in particular — it's new president Johan Brandt, in ending the inter-Boer battles. He was also growing more concerned by the signs of increased mining activity which had been going on west of his territory. Ancient peoples who predated the Khoe in the northern Cape had taken advantage of these minerals, there is archaeological evidence they were using iron from the area dug from pits 6000 years Before Present, around 4000 BC. Remarkable really, the use of iron in Southern Africa predates European Iron Age use by 3800 years. There is an excellent short book published by John Smalberger in 1975 called A history of Copper Mining in Namaqualand published which I've used as one of the sources. A specialised company called Phillips and King began exporting the ore in 1852 — a small 11 tons loaded on board a steamer called the Bosphorus which sailed out of Hondeklip Bay. They built a 140 meter long wooden jetty to facilitate loading here. A speculative mania followed in 1853/4, alarming the Government of the Cape. In the 1850s, a wave of speculative mining booms swept across the globe, driven by dramatic gold and mineral discoveries in places like California, Australia, and South Africa.

On the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, renowned choreographer and director Bill T. Jones developed three tributes: Serenade/The Proposition, 100 Migrations, and Fondly Do We Hope . . . Fervently Do We Pray. These widely acclaimed dance works incorporated video and audio text from Lincoln's writings as they examined key moments in his life and his enduring legacy. Democracy Moving: Bill T. Jones, Contemporary American Performance, and the Racial Past (U Michigan Press, 2022) explores how these works provided both an occasion and a method by which democracy and history might be reconceived through movement, positioning dance as a form of both history and historiography. The project addresses how different communities choose to commemorate historical figures, events, and places through art--whether performance, oratory, song, statuary, or portraiture--and in particular, Black US American counter-memorial practices that address histories of slavery. Advancing the theory of oscillation as Black aesthetic praxis, author Ariel Nereson celebrates Bill T. Jones as a public intellectual whose practice has contributed to the project of understanding America's relationship to its troubled past. The book features materials from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company's largely unexplored archive, interviews with artists, and photos that document this critical stage of Jones's career as it explores how aesthetics, as ideas in action, can imagine more just and equitable social formations.

The Jack Carr Book Club April 2025 selection is THE UNVANQUISHED by bestselling author Patrick K. O'Donnell.THE UNVANQUISHED pulls back the curtain on a little-known shadow war that raged alongside the Civil War's better-known battles. At its center: Lincoln's special forces, the Jessie Scouts—Union soldiers who disguised themselves in Confederate uniforms to carry out daring raids, intelligence gathering, and high-risk missions behind enemy lines.Through vivid storytelling and never-before-published firsthand accounts, O'Donnell shines a light on the Scouts' deadly cat-and-mouse game with Mosby's Rangers, uncovering espionage operations, plots to kidnap Abraham Lincoln, and a postwar proxy fight in Mexico. Patrick K. O'Donnell is a combat historian, public speaker, and the bestselling author of 13 critically acclaimed books spanning from the American Revolution to Iraq. He is a leading authority on special operations and irregular warfare, having embedded with troops in Fallujah and advised on projects like BAND OF BROTHERS and MEDAL OF HONOR. His research blends archival discovery with thousands of oral history interviews, bringing lost stories back to life with intensity and precision.FOLLOW PATRICKFacebook - @patrickkodonnellX - @combathistorianWebsite - https://patrickkodonnell.com/index.html FOLLOW JACKInstagram - @JackCarrUSA X - @JackCarrUSAFacebook - @JackCarr YouTube - @JackCarrUSA SPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - BCM Stock MOD3:https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-stock-mod-3-black/  and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr  P365 Collection: P365XL with Red Dot Optic, P365, P365X-Macro, P365 Custom with True Precision, and P365 Legion.Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear
