In this week’s episode we be talking with Seth Swerczek about pistol bullets from Hornady For listeners of this podcast I want to give you an advance heads up on a new product from MantisX called the Tor-X available the first week of August 2024. The TOR-X is the sublime marriage of the military-grade Steiner laser and the power of the MantisX. The MantisX hardware is now integrated inside a Steiner laser. Pair it via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet, and you’re training package just got more complete. Combat-worthy lights and lasers, Mil-grade aluminum, built Steiner strong. Designed to expose, blind and target with maximum impact. Up to any challenge. Just like you. The TOR-X features a Type III hard-anodized machined-aluminum housing and rail mount. It is dustproof, splash-proof to IP54 standards, and available with a green (520 nm) laser. The direct diode type laser operates in extreme cold weather. Other features include left and right fire buttons for ambidextrous use, constant power drive that ensures the laser output remains constant throughout the life of the battery, low battery indication, as well as windage and elevation bore sight adjustment screws. The universal rail mount on the TOR-X will fit all pistols that have a Picatinny or Weaver style rail forward of the trigger guard. This design allows optimum positioning of the laser so that the fire buttons are easily accessible for a wide range of users. I’ve been using the Tor-X for several weeks on my Glock17 and my Glock48 now and when paired with the MantisX app it’s taken my training to a new level.

Just as the door closed behind Capone, a long black car cruised slowly by. Inside the black car were North Siders Hymie Weiss, Vincent Drucci, and George Moran, all clutching shotguns and automatics. As they rolled up next to Capone's car, the windows came down and they opened fire on Capone's car. Bullets slammed into metal and windows shattered in the assault. A policeman was later quoted as saying: “They let it have everything but the kitchen stove.” Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.Have a question or comment?

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-sixty-fourth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Amy Beatty, the G-4 Senior Sustainment Planner from Plans / Exercise Maneuver Control Task Force on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Battalion Commander for the 82nd Light Support Battalion, LTC Peter van Howe. The 82nd Light Support Battalion (LSB), formerly the 82nd Brigade Support Battalion (BSB), serves as the sustainment backbone of the 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, providing logistics, maintenance, medical, transportation, and distribution support to enable the brigade's rapid deployment and expeditionary operations worldwide. Known by its Hollywood call-sign, “Gator,” the battalion has a long history of supporting airborne and contingency operations, ensuring paratroopers can seize, hold, and fight from key terrain under austere conditions. As the Army transitions from the BSB to the LSB construct, the battalion continues to evolve its sustainment capabilities to support dispersed operations, contested logistics, and prolonged combat against peer threats. The battalion's motto, “Service to the Line,” reflects its enduring commitment to projecting, generating, and preserving combat power for the brigade, ensuring maneuver forces remain lethal, mobile, and ready to fight whenever and wherever the Nation calls. This episode explores the employment of the Light Support Battalion (LSB) and how sustainment formations are adapting to survive and sustain maneuver forces on the modern battlefield. The discussion focuses on base cluster design, command and control, survivability, distribution operations, and the constant balance between protection and sustainment throughput. Leaders examine different approaches to organizing the Brigade Support Area, emphasizing that there is no single solution and that sustainment leaders must remain flexible based on the enemy situation, terrain, mission requirements, and available resources. Topics include dispersed versus consolidated support areas, use of forward logistics elements, deception operations, engineer support, survivability positions, signature management, and the employment of decoy command posts. A recurring theme throughout the episode is that sustainment formations must think and fight like maneuver formations, continuously adapting their posture to maintain survivability while preserving the ability to project, generate, and preserve combat power for the brigade. The conversation also focuses on the critical relationship between maneuver units and the sustainment enterprise. Leaders discuss the importance of accurate LOGSTAT reporting, synchronization across echelons, understanding the roles of the S4, Support Operations Officer (SPO), G4, and G8, and ensuring sustainment is integrated into planning from the outset. Additional topics include running estimates, logistics common operating pictures, rehearsals, battle rhythm events, sustainment forecasting, and the role of NCOs in MDMP. The episode highlights how sustainment success depends on shared understanding, continuous communication, and deliberate synchronization in time and space. Ultimately, the discussion reinforces that the LSB is far more than a logistics provider—it is a combat multiplier that enables brigade operations by ensuring forces can continue to fight, move, communicate, recover, and sustain themselves throughout prolonged operations against a capable peer threat.

In a world where the lines between civility and violence are increasingly blurred, a concerning trend has emerged on the left. This episode delves into the disturbing reality of how some individuals and groups have become more comfortable with using violence to achieve their goals, rather than engaging in democratic processes. The speaker discusses a recent incident at a UFC event near the White House, where an attempted terrorist attack occurred, and how it's just one example of a larger issue. They also touch on a clip from CNN, where a data analyst highlights a stark divide between Republicans and Democrats on patriotic values, such as displaying the American flag and being proud to be American. The conversation also explores how this growing polarization has led to a concerning lack of pride in America among some Democrats. The speaker argues that this trend is not just about individual opinions, but about a broader cultural shift. They point to the funding of anti-American rallies and protests by certain individuals and groups, and how this has contributed to a culture of violence. The conversation also touches on the importance of understanding what America stands for and why it's exceptional. If you're concerned about the state of our country and the values that are being eroded, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker's analysis and insights will help you understand the complexities of this issue and why it's essential to address it.

Many more died from the indirect effects of conflict, such as hunger and disease. Combat deaths in the past four years have been the highest since the end of the cold war. And for what purpose?Not even the leaders who started recent wars can be pleased with the results.Russia's invasion of Ukraine has become a humiliating quagmire for Vladimir Putin. President Donald T's war on Iran has gone badly awry. These two wars of choice exemplify two new battlefield truths. Technology has made it harder for any army to advance on the ground. It has also made it easier for weaker powers, when attacked by stronger ones, to cause havoc.知识点:bullet n. /ˈbʊlɪt/a metal projectile for firing from a rifle, pistol, or other small firearm, typically cylindrical and pointed or rounded at one end. 子弹;枪弹e.g. The police found a bullet casing at the scene of the shooting. 警方在枪击现场发现了一个弹壳。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记,请关注微信公众号「早安英文」,回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你! 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》,带你精读最新外刊,了解国际最热事件:分析语法结构,拆解长难句,最接地气的翻译,还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻,想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达,有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者(如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等) 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程,拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解,系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记,包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等,帮助扫除阅读障碍。

THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME with author Randall Sullivan What happens when a botched assassination attempt on a president, the “Outfit,” the Great Depression, and the Legend of Babe Ruth collide in Chicago? Author Randall Sullivan reveals how the first so-called “Game of the Century” helped pull America out of its darkest era. Discover the untold history of baseball's first All-Star Game and the legends that shaped the sport. In 1933, an assassin fired six bullets at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in Miami. Every single bullet missed FDR, but they fatally struck Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Out of the political chaos of that assassination, a city's desperation to escape the shadow of Al Capone's crime syndicate, and the darkest, most terrifying days of the Great Depression, an unbelievable gamble was born. To save the city's morale, a new mayor and a sports editor dreamed up the ultimate distraction: the first Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The Book THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026) Summary Brian O'Leary sits down with three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Randall Sullivan to discuss his new book, THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). Sullivan explains that the book was born from his discouragement over modern political polarization, leading him to research how the United States survived the Great Depression. The conversation traces the chain reaction of events that created the 1933 Chicago World's Fair and the first-ever All-Star Game. This includes a Miami assassination attempt on President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt that resulted in the death of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Throughout the episode, we dive into the towering mythos of Babe Ruth, noting that his absence in 1925 caused American League attendance to plummet. We also explore the cultural fallout of the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the iron-fisted rule of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the forgotten legacies of players like Chuck Klein and Lefty O'Doul. Key Takeaways The Origins of the All-Star Game: The 1933 game was staged as a one-off exhibition for the Chicago World's Fair. It was pitched by sports editor Arch Ward to Mayor Edward Nash to boost morale after Mayor Cermak's tragic death. Babe Ruth's Unmatched Stardom: Ruth's absence due to illness in 1925 caused American League attendance to drop by 34%. Furthermore, he holds the top three WAR (Wins Above Replacement) seasons in Major League history. That's just the tip of the iceberg of the Ruthian Legend (and reality). The Black Sox Legacy: The 1919 scandal resulted in a complicated trial where players were acquitted by a working-class jury. However, Judge Landis later banned them for life, restoring baseball's image in the eyes of the outraged American public. Overlooked Baseball Legends: Sullivan argues that Lefty O'Doul deserves Hall of Fame recognition. O'Doul not only hit .398 with 254 hits in a 154-game season, but he was also instrumental in bringing baseball to Japan and in developing it there.

And it was more than the inauguration of a tradition. It was a turning point in American history.” – Randall Sullivan Resources Mentioned THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026).

With Taiwan Travelogue winning the 2026 International Booker Prize, Taiwanese literature in translation has achieved new heights of visibility in the Anglosphere. In this episode of the New Books Network, we chat with writer and translator Kevin Wang about his English language rendition of Spent Bullets (HarperCollins, 2025), another Taiwanese novel that Taiwan Travelogue's translator Lin King herself recommended to English-language readers. Written by a former Google engineer using the pen name Terao Tetsuya, Spent Bullets contains nine interconnected stories about a group of Taiwanese men as they journey through Taiwan's most prestigious schools to Silicon Valley's hottest tech companies. Despite being the “elite”, these characters find themselves mired in a swamp of nihilism, resorting to suicide attempts and sadomasochism as outlets for their constantly oppressed psyches. The novel represents a darkly humorous take on Taiwan's omnipresent achievement culture, as well as another critically celebrated example of the island's burgeoning body of queer literature. Other works that Kevin mentions in the podcast: Kink: Stories — by R.O. Kwan and Garth Greenwell Overfitting — by Terao Tetsuya, still pending translation Mobu's Diary —by Kathy Lam, translated by Kevin Wang and Cindy Ko Kevin's recent interview by Michelle Kuo and Albert Wu, in which he discusses communities in Taipei in greater detail Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

In the 1880s, Rowan County, Kentucky, became known as “Bloody Rowan” after politics, old grudges and personal revenge led to one of the state's deadliest feuds. This episode traces the Rowan County War from an Election Day shooting in Morehead to three years of ambushes, militia intervention and a final armed showdown that ended the violence, but not through justice.

The fantasy world was doing just fine. Wizards were arguing about spell slots. Fighters were polishing swords. Rogues were stealing absolutely everything not nailed down. Then somebody invented firearms. Now the wizard wants an arcane revolver, the artificer is building a rifle powered by dragon crystals, and the fighter has spent twenty minutes explaining why attaching a bayonet to a musket absolutely still counts as melee combat. Progress is inevitable. Chaos is optional. Players will choose chaos every time. Show Notes This episode dives into one of the most divisive and surprisingly fun topics in tabletop RPG design: firearms. We explore what happens when black powder, pistols, muskets, revolvers, and magical weapons enter worlds traditionally ruled by swords and spellbooks. The answer is not simply bigger damage numbers. Firearms change the entire feel of a setting. We dig into how guns influence worldbuilding, tone, and gameplay. A lone flintlock in a low fantasy campaign tells a very different story than enchanted firearms in a magitech world. The conversation expands into how technology reshapes societies, military power, adventuring groups, and even the place of magic itself. The episode also looks at practical considerations for GMs and players. We discuss balancing firearms mechanically, deciding how common they should be, and avoiding the trap of letting realism overwhelm gameplay. Sometimes the important question is not whether firearms belong in fantasy. It is what kind of fantasy world they create. Whether you are building a black powder campaign, introducing fantasy gunslingers, or creating magical firearms powered by spells and crystals, this episode explores ways to make firearms feel intentional and exciting at the table. Key Takeaways Firearms affect setting design as much as combat rules. The rarity and availability of guns heavily influence world tone. Black powder weapons create a very different atmosphere than magitech firearms. Introducing firearms changes warfare, economics, and social structures. Balance should focus on gameplay experience rather than strict realism. Reload mechanics and weapon limitations help preserve design space. Magical firearms create new character options without replacing classic fantasy roles. GMs should establish expectations for firearms early in campaign planning. Different RPG systems support firearms in different ways. Every firearm added to a setting raises bigger questions about technology and progress. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

This week on Disasters in the Making, Brad and Paul take on Champagne and Bullets, the 1993 indie action oddity also known as GetEven and Road to Revenge. Written, directed, produced by and starring John De Hart, with Wings Hauser, William Smith and Pamela Jean Bryant, this revenge thriller somehow mixes disgraced cops, corrupt judges, satanic cults, country singing, awkward romance and enough B-movie chaos to make the popcorn file a workplace complaint.
The Centre for Economic Security's Dr Rebecca Harding argues for the importance of financial markets as the fourth pillar in supporting effective mobilisation. Conversations about industrial mobilisation often focus on the triumvirate of government, armed forces and industry. In this episode we add a fourth pillar, that of finance, and the need for governments to consider how the economic system can be co-opted to the task of providing defence and security for their nations. Something that the US government recognised during the Civil War when, in 1861-1862, it issued the emergency paper current – the Greenback – to finance the war effort. The vital role of finance in recapitalising armed forces, and in building resilience, reinforces the need for comprehensive thinking about security discussed in earlier episodes and takes the task of mobilisation beyond defence ministries into all aspects of modern societies. Dr Rebecca Harding is CEO of the Centre for Economic Security and an independent trade economist. Her strategic advisory business, Rebeccanomics provides analytical services in international trade, trade finance and sustainability. She has also acted as a specialist advisor to the UK Treasury Select Committee. She published The World at Economic War: How to Rebuild Security in a Weaponized Global Economy (London Publishing Partnership, 2025) and has co-authored numerous other publications, including The Weaponization of Trade: The Great Unbalancing of Politics and Economics, in 2017. She appears regularly as a commentator on BBC, Bloomberg, Sky News and CNBC.

On this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up:We probe and examine the Federal Death Penalty.On Friday, April 17th, 2026, the Trump Administration said it would allow executions by firing squad and restore the use of lethal injections in federal death-penalty cases.The Trump Administration has no problem with:— dropping missiles on little schoolgirls in Iran— supplying the weapons that have killed over 72,000 people including women and children in Gaza (since the October 7th, 2023, Hamas attack) — and— blowing up boats piloted by unarmed civilians off the coast of Venezuela.We ask: If the federal and state governments have proscriptions against murder, why are they in the business of killing?The federal death penalty applies in all 50 states and U.S. territories but is used relatively rarely.We'll examine the hypocritical facts whereby:— Most MAGA cult-members are “pro-life”, yet at the same time profess to be “pro-death penalty”. How do those opposites align? Are they just okay with being hypocrites? Does this fact bring them closer to their Orange Jesus?— Pope Leo XIV says those two ideological positions can't align and they never will. Pope Leo XIV has stated that, according to Catholic teaching, being against abortion but in favor of the death penalty is not "genuinely pro-life". Church teaching opposes capital punishment as "inadmissible" under all circumstances.Tune in specifically to hear Pope Leo's specific thoughts.We also want to know what YOU think:— Is the death penalty unfair, especially the way it is applied?— Are lethal injections saved for the poor? (As a means of controlling the excess population) that AREN'T in the Epstein Class?— Is there a racial bias that permeates the entire criminal justice system?— Is capital punishment an effective deterrent or just an irreversible means of retribution?A firing squad is exceptionally gruesome.Adoption of such a heinous execution practice, however, should surprise no one. This country, from its inception, has had a perverted affination with violence and brutality.On the state level, in South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union on December 20th, 1860 — the method in the Palmetto state involves three corrections employees firing live rounds from 15 feet away at the condemned inmate, who is in a chair with a target over their heart.As a society, do we really need this?As a case study we look at the execution of Brad Sigmon, who was sentenced to death for the April 2001 murders of Gladys and William David Larke, the parents of his ex-girlfriend, in Greenville, SC.Explore more details on the process, here: How does the firing squad work in South Carolina?On April 24th, 2026, this administration released its official report entitled: Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty. They maintain that “capital punishment is an essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes and acts of lethal violence against American citizens.”The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) strongly opposes the use of firing squads, viewing them as a "barbaric" and "inhumane" method of execution. The organization advocates for the total abolition of the death penalty, arguing that all forms of capital punishment constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" in violation of the Constitution.Follow our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

The 1.29 update promised us a smoother, more stable Chernarus, but it has arrived with a laundry list of new issues that are testing the patience of even the most hardcore survivors. This week, Andy and Dave break down the "DayZ 1.29 Bug List" and discuss the serious implications for the game's future.We dive into the technical glitches currently plaguing the wasteland, including items mysteriously disappearing when swapped in inventories, bright "blinding" loading screens, and audio bugs where gunshot ranges aren't matching up. More importantly, we address the community's biggest outcry: the "Play Anywhere" crossplay exploit. We discuss how PC players are bypassing security to invade Xbox servers, bringing a level of hacking to console that we haven't seen since the early days of the mod.What are the developers at Bohemia Interactive doing to fix this? We look at the latest updates from the team, including the decision to cancel the immediate hotfix in favor of a longer testing period on the Experimental branch. We discuss the fallout of this decision—can the community survive a few more weeks of hacker-filled official servers, or has this update done permanent damage to the console player base?Welcome to the essential channel for all things DayZ! We create content for anyone who loves the hardcore survival game, from fresh spawn newbies looking for a DayZ beginner guide to veteran players hungry for high-tier PVP, base building strategy, and insightful DayZ news and discussions on our DayZ podcast.Our two content pillars:
The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifty-fourth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Amy Beatty, the G-4 Senior Sustainment Planner from Plans / Exercise Maneuver Control Task Force on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are subject matter experts across JRTC: CSM Edward Cummings is the Task Force Command Sergeant Major Observer-Coach-Trainer for TF-3 (IN BN) and CPT Cody Kindle the S-4 Sustainment Planner for JRTC's Plans / EMC TF. This episode explores the realities of brigade sustainment on the modern battlefield from both the maneuver and sustainer perspectives, focusing on how logistics directly drives tempo, survivability, and operational reach in large scale combat operations. The discussion highlights the growing tension between what maneuver forces want and what sustainment systems can realistically support, especially within the Army's evolving force structure where combat logistics companies (CLCs) are significantly smaller than the legacy forward support companies they replaced. Leaders examine how inaccurate LOGSTATs, poor running estimates, and “lazy logistics” create cascading problems that can culminate not only brigades, but entire divisions. From the infantry perspective, the episode emphasizes that sustainment must remain synchronized with maneuver operations, because units that outrun their logistics eventually lose momentum, combat power, and freedom of action. The conversation also dives into practical sustainment solutions and best practices observed at JRTC, including “no wasted calories” backhaul operations, trickle resupply concepts, standardized vehicle load plans, and the importance of continuously updating running estimates instead of blindly trusting planning factors. A major theme is that sustainment is fundamentally a human and leadership problem, requiring trust between maneuver leaders and sustainers at every echelon. Topics such as water distribution, casualty evacuation tied to resupply, sustainment node survivability, and balancing push versus pull logistics are discussed in detail. The episode reinforces that sustainers must think beyond simply delivering commodities and instead focus on generating options and decision space for commanders. Ultimately, the discussion frames sustainment as a decisive component of combat power that requires disciplined planning, accurate forecasting, adaptive leadership, and full integration with the maneuver fight to survive and win on a transparent, contested battlefield.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifty-third episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Amy Beatty, the G-4 Senior Sustainment Planner from Plans / Exercise Maneuver Control Task Force on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Battalion Commander for the 626th Light Support Battalion, LTC Adam DiGiovanni. The 626th Light Support Battalion (LSB), formerly the 626th Brigade Support Battalion (BSB), serves as the sustainment backbone of the 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team “Rakkasan,” 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Carrying the Hollywood call-sign “Assurgam”—Latin for “I Rise Up”—the battalion traces its lineage through decades of airborne and air assault sustainment operations supporting the division across combat deployments, contingency operations, and large-scale training exercises. As part of the Army's transition from the legacy BSB structure to the modern LSB construct, the battalion now synchronizes sustainment operations across dispersed formations through combat logistics companies (CLCs), while remaining directly integrated with the brigade's maneuver fight and closely linked with division sustainment assets. Today, the 626th LSB continues to adapt for large scale combat operations, providing the Rakkasans with the logistics, maintenance, medical, and distribution support necessary to fight and win in contested, multi-domain environments. This episode focuses on how the light support battalion (LSB) operates within the mobile brigade combat team under the Army's new mobile brigade force structure, and the opportunities and challenges that come with replacing the legacy brigade support battalion (BSB) and forward support companies (FSCs). The discussion highlights how the transition to CLCs fundamentally changes sustainment relationships inside the brigade, requiring sustainers to balance centralized control with direct support to maneuver battalions. Leaders emphasize that the LSB is no longer simply a logistics provider in the rear, but a command-and-control headquarters responsible for synchronizing sustainment, protection, maintenance, distribution, and operational reach across dispersed formations in a contested environment. The episode explores how sustainers must now integrate more deliberately into MDMP, LOGSYNCs, targeting cycles, and current operations while managing significantly smaller formations and reduced manpower. The conversation also examines how the new CLC construct changes the relationship between maneuver and sustainment units at echelon. Rather than functioning as permanently tied FSCs, the CLCs remain part of the LSB and operate in direct support relationships that allow the battalion commander to mass sustainment capability where needed most. Leaders discuss the cultural adjustments required on both the maneuver and sustainment sides, the importance of building trust between battalion commanders and logisticians, and the difficulty of sustaining operations with extremely small distribution platoons. Additional topics include sustainment at distance, sustainment culmination, base cluster operations, and the challenge of maintaining command and control while supporting deep and distributed operations. Ultimately, the episode reinforces that the success of the modern brigade depends on an LSB capable of synchronizing sustainment across the battlefield while remaining agile, survivable, and fully integrated into brigade operations.

Beau Martonik sits down with Brad Watts, a 15-year muzzleloading hunter and precision rifle competitor who works at CVA, recorded live at the NWTF show. They break down everything a hunter needs to know about muzzleloaders — how to choose the right one for your hunting situation, the difference between pellets, loose powder, and Blackhorn 209, how to properly clean and maintain your gun, and what actually causes misfires in the field. Brad also explains how competing in long-range precision rifle has made him a more confident hunter at every distance, and why that same mentality applies to how you should be practicing with your bow. If you've been intimidated by muzzleloaders or feel like you're missing something, this one clears it up.

No president in U.S. history has been the target of three assassination attempts in which shots were fired by either law enforcement or the shooter himself. And yet this is Trump's third time. Political violence doesn't happen overnight. For almost a decade now, the Left has reified the idea that 1. Trump is “literally Hitler” and 2. that harming him is justified—Gavin Newsom and Robert De Niro talked about hitting Trump in the mouth. Shakespeare in the Park substituted Caesar for a Trump look-alike. Anthony Bourdain said he'd poison him. And that lowers the bar. And that means people like Cole Tomas Allen come out of the woodwork, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
