Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Peter J. Ortiz was one of the most decorated United States Marines of the Second World War—and he served in the European Theater. In fact, his service was almost entirely within occupied France, where he worked for the Office of Strategic Services as the manager of a resistance network and later as the leader of a (sort of) Jedburgh Team. The stories of his exploits are legendary, though admittedly legendary among a much smaller circle of people than they deserve to be. One that can be verified is the time that, in a French bar, Ortiz ordered a round of drinks for a group of German officers, opened his raincoat to reveal his Marine uniform, drew two pistols, and ordered the Germans to drink toasts to President Roosevelt and the United States Marine Corps.That and many other tales of his winding career are to be found in Ortiz's War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France, a new book by Nicholas Reynolds and Katie Sanders.
Double Tap Double Tap - Ep 474 August 10, 2026 Presented by This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Giveaways!! GAW Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles Dear WLS Question from Ben B from Kansas Ben B (TLDR from last week: Bought a Bergara B14-HMR that wouldn't group and had a crooked-looking scope. After replacing the rail, rings, and checking the scope, a gunsmith finally discovered the rifle's mounting holes were drilled at a 45° angle from the factory. The manufacturing defect that made proper alignment impossible.)Continuation of the story from where it cut off last week- We looked in there and about half the threaded hole in the receiver was visible through the rail. Well shit… We tried a different rail and it was the same. I decided to contact Bergara to see if they would fix it. I started a warranty case with them and they sent an RMA form and asked me to ship the rifle to them. I sent it over and assumed that everything would be straightened out. After several weeks with zero updates, I called and asked for some kind of information. I even gave them exact instructions on how to replicate the problem. They said they would update me when they got it into their system and when they got started on the inspections. After they had it for a month they finally shipped it back and their conclusion was that the rifle was in spec. About a million emails later and both sides being stubborn, I gave up. Obviously they weren't going to fix it and I was at my wit's end. I brought it back to the gunsmith and had him drill and re tap the receiver holes to a big enough size to line it up. In spec my ass. Ever since then the Bergara name has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not really on social media and don't know how to get through how bad of an experience I had with them because I think people need to know. I am sorry for the long story but I already left a lot of details out. Just remember you asked for this Shawn Question from Bama Chris I know this will take forever And I'm expecting And answer sometime in about 2029 … Just found out the other day from Savage that my current credit card provider that used to be discover card and is now Capital One is a bunch of anti-gun Cucks … I need to cancel My over 20-year account With this credit card company Actually I have two accounts Cancel them both And find a credit card company That is 2a friendly Any suggestions… This is for Customer-Based Credit line Not Business related Processing. Wouldn't man if it was A car that instead of me getting cash back All of that went towards donations Second Amendment Foundation or other Friendly OrganizationsThanks Five squares second call defense is awesome High Point rules and Jeremy is my spirit animal Question from Anonymous Coward from Kentucky Question from Coward with anonymity from Virginia. I know you have probably said it a hundred times, but I have no experience with 3d printing. What is the best starter printer that's user friendly and capable. Great show, thanks! Question from Peter J from WA Peter J from WA, Dear WLS, I'm interested in either buying a factory ported pistol or having one I own custom ported. Is it really worth the hype? Im debating on either getting a CZ ported P10c or getting my CZ P10F ported. Use case would be more for range but would carry the ported p10c since I carry a non ported one currently. I more than with do what Jeremy or Nick tell me what to do. Thanks Question from eTexNerd from Texas Dear wls, from eTexNerdFirst a big Ole howdy from the upper east side of Texas to Tom Bowers! Question: once Bowers group is running production in Texas, won't I be able to buy his suppressors without federal redtape? I think Texas passed a law to allow intrastate transfer of suppressots made within Texas. I'm a little vague on the legal details but figure Tom being in the industry would know more. Maybe the cartoon savage legal hawk can explain this too. VIVA LA TEJAS!

In der deutschen Gesellschaft nimmt das Auto eine Schlüsselstellung ein. Es hat den größten Anteil an der Verkehrsleistung, die Autoindustrie ist der wirtschaftliche Leitsektor; und zudem hat das Auto neben seinem enormen Gebrauchs- auch einen hohen Kultur- und Prestigewert. Der Aufstieg des Automobils sowohl im Personen- wie im Güterverkehr wird ermöglicht durch technische Erfindungen und flankiert von gesetzgeberischen Regulierungen, kontroversen Diskussionen und politischen Entscheidungen, die aktuell im Zeichen des „Klimawandels“ getroffen werden.

Send us Fan Mail. Royce discusses a new bill proposed by a New Jersey communist that seeks to repeal the Tiahrt Amendment and "legalize" a gun registry, and all for the purpose of making lists of conservatives.. Everytown claims the "overwhelming majority" of crime guns in Canada come from the U.S., but a study produced by the Canadians themselves paints an opposite picture.. Florida's AG, James Uthmeier, scores another win for the 2nd Amendment and Floridians by refusing to contest a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that ruled 18-20-year-olds have every right to carry concealed firearms just like all other adults, wrecking the Constitutionally abominable MSD Act of 2018.. New information comes out that the hero Marine that helped stop the shooter in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was limited in his ability to stop the shooter by himself due to magazine capacity restrictions, which caused him to run out of ammo; thankfully, he contained the shooter enough for the State Trooper who finally stopped the threat.

Police in Des Moines, Iowa, chide the entire peaceable citizenry of their city after a concealed carrier lawfully defended himself against a mugger. It seems their spokesman believes that only cops should carry guns and shoot bad guys and was offended that some lowly citizen beneath him was able to actually defend himself without help from the police.SECOND HALF: The pushback against gun control in Virginia by multiple Commonwealth Attorneys General and local Sheriff's is gaining support and momentum amongst multiple others in law enforcement and the judicial system, and the Democrat communists are aghast and flabbergasted that such a thing would happen, and they're demanding those patriots change their minds!Support the showGiveSendGo | Unconstitutional 2A Prosecution of Tate Adamiak Askari Media GroupBuy Paul Eberle's book "Look at the Dirt"Paul Eberle (lookatthedirt.com)The Deadly Path: How Operation Fast & Furious and Bad Lawyers Armed Mexican Cartels: Forcelli, Peter J., MacGregor, Keelin, Murphy, Stephen: 9798888456491: Amazon.com: Books

In this episode, Dennis connects via Zoom with Peter Cervantes to talk about his book The Road Back to Me: Six Sacred Tools for Queer Healing Through Shadow, Breath, and Truth, in which he shares his journey from severe physical and mental health crises to healing through therapy, meditation, breath work, EMDR, shadow work and more. He also talks about having severe heart palpitations and anxiety attacks and going into intense therapy because he felt that the only other option was death. Other topics include: dealing with intergenerational trauma, feeling the need to hide his artistic side growing up in order to appease his father, the partner who stuck by him through it all, being the first-generation son of Mexican-American immigrants and how that affected his journey and what it means to him to have the book out in the world. www.peterjcervantes.com
