The idea for this setup came after watching Bear Independent’s discussion on light squad weapons for civilian resistance operations. We’re not replicating a SAW. We’re closing the gap between a standard AR and a weapon that can realistically fill the “light squad weapon” role for the average American who doesn’t have $12K to spare for a transferable civilian SAW. Using the above photo of a Paratrooper SAW as an example, enter the PSA Jackl Light Squad Weapon with a bit of a GWOT vibe thanks to the EOTech 512 and KAC vertical grip. Why the PSA JAKL Works as a…
Archie Hemsley may be 101, but his mastery on the golf course is a sight to behold. Hemsley, a British World War II veteran, recently bested 30 other competitors at a tournament for golfers age 80 and older at his favorite course, the Luffenham Heath Golf Club in Rutland, England. When he was handed The Eley Trophy, the tournament’s winning prize, Hemsley told the BBC he was “very surprised.” Despite being an avid golfer, still hitting the links several times a week, Hemsley said he hadn’t won many tournaments in the past. “I’m not all that keen on winning,” he said. “Other people like…
If there’s one type of shooting that is broadly accepted across the world, it’s Olympic shooting sports. They might restrict the guns so that not just anyone can take up the sport, but it’s at least an option for some. And honestly, why wouldn’t they? Most guns for Olympic sports are as tame as firearms get. Shotguns might be closer to what the average gun buyer in the United States would buy for hunting or literally any other purpose, but Olympic shooting involves more than sporting clays.However, it seems that the proposed changes to Australia’s…
A former schoolteacher armed with a radio and a force of Solomon Islander scouts became one of World War II’s most legendary coastwatchers, killing more than 50 Japanese soldiers and providing intelligence that helped save the Guadalcanal campaign. Donald Gilbert Kennedy’s men gave early warning of every Japanese air attack on Guadalcanal from Rabaul over the course of 10 months in 1942 and 1943, allowing Marine and Navy fighters to scramble and meet the incoming raids. His exploits earned him both the British Distinguished Service Order and the U.S. Navy Cross.U.S. Admiral William Halsey later declared that coastwatchers saved Guadalcanal and…
Russia has reaffirmed that it will provide full support and stands in solidarity with Venezuela as the country faces a United States military blockade in the Caribbean. Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone conversation with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yvan Gil, during which he expressed “serious concern over Washington’s increasingly escalatory actions in the Caribbean Sea,” according to a ministry statement. Russian President Vladimir Putin sided with Lavron. Earlier, Putin expressed “solidarity with the people of Venezuela and reaffirmed his support for the [Nicolas] Maduro government’s resolve to defend national interests and sovereignty against foreign pressure.” Washington has deployed multiple naval…
Packing a truck for a hunting trip is part logistics, part intuition. Every loadout is shaped by variables — weather, terrain, trip length, and who’s riding with you — but the goal is always the same: arrive with a camp that’s safe, efficient, and comfortable enough to recover for the next day’s hunt. After nearly a decade of loading a Ram 1500 for hunt and fish camps, I’ve learned that the best truck camps aren’t overpacked — they’re intentionally packed. Explore Ram LD Trucks Below is a system that works across seasons and styles of hunting. 2026 Ram 1500 RHO with…
Barely half an hour had passed since the flight landed at O’Hare International Airport, and the Army combat veteran’s palms were already sweating.Spencer Sullivan, 38, situated himself at the front of a crowd of people waiting near the exit for international arrivals. He knew it could be hours before his friend got through customs.Still, he said, “I’ve been waiting so long for this moment. I don’t want to miss it.”It had been just over 13 years since Sullivan, who now works in corporate development, first began helping his former interpreter in Afghanistan petition for a visa to live in the…
United States ruler Donald Trump has issued a veiled threat to the ruler of Venezuela. Trump said that Nicolas Maduro would be “smart” to get out of his position of power. Maduro has stood up to the U.S. and its increasingly hostile aggressions, saying previously that if the “gringos” attack, Venezuela’s military would respond. Venezuela: “If The Gringos Attack, We Will Respond” The U.S. has assembled a naval force that Trump calls “by far the biggest we ever had in South America” off Venezuela’s coast and is enforcing a blockade on its oil tanker traffic, citing unilateral sanctions. Since September,…
When a male hiker was stranded on a mountain near Phoenix for 13 hours last week, he got help from a surprising source: a weight-bearing drone. In a first-of-its-kind mission for the area, the Phoenix Fire Department used a DJI drone to send supplies to the injured hiker on Camelback Mountain, keeping him safe until rescuers could finally reach him in the morning. It all started last week, when Phoenix’s first responders received reports of a stranded hiker around 8 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 16. They were able to locate the hiker using a helicopter, but decided…

United States President Donald Trump wants to take over Greenland in the name of “national security.” Earlier, Trump appointed a special envoy to the Arctic island, triggering a backlash from Denmark’s ruling class. Greenland is currently under Danish rulership, but it claims the U.S. needs it for its strategic location. “You look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need it for national security. We have to have it,” he added. He also wants it for the island’s mineral resources. Trump has not ruled out annexation and taking the island by force.…
If there’s one thing I’ve noted about the United States, it’s that despite having more opportunity than anywhere else on the planet, we have a lot of folks who seem to think killing one another is a good use of their time instead of trying to make something of themselves. For some reason, Americans are particularly violent compared to other developed nations. This is an unfortunate fact that gets used by people trying to claim our problem is that we don’t mimic their gun control laws. The latest example comes from a publication in Sri Lanka,…
A young political name with an old political pedigree is making noise on gun policy, and the gun-rights community isn’t impressed. Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is campaigning to succeed retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler in New York’s 12th Congressional District. Along the way, he’s decided to float a familiar gun-control talking point. Penalize states with “weak gun laws” because firearms from those states allegedly end up used in crimes in New York. Speaking to the New York Post, Schlossberg argued that there is an “illegal flow of guns” from states with looser firearm laws and suggested those…

An ongoing trend of Chicago police officers wrongfully arresting lawful Black gun owners on firearms charges despite the fact that they have valid FOID and CCL licenses is turning some heads. According to a report at CBS News Chicago, several instances have occurred in which police stopped Black gun owners for minor traffic violations and then charged them with felonies—even though they had legal firearm licenses. One Black Chicagoan victimized by police was 46-year-old Louis McWilliams, owner of a local cheesecake company. When McWilliams was stopped on his way to a business meeting for not having a front license plate,…
Virginia Democrats are still playing their gun control cards close to the vest, with just two firearm-related bills pre-filed for the 2026 session. We know that many more are coming, though. State Sen. Creigh Deeds has told reporters that he and colleagues are meeting to hash out language in a bill to ban modern sporting rifles, while State Sen. Scott Surovell has indicated that a permit-to-purchase bill is being drafted as well. Today, State Sen. Jennifer Boysko announced her plans to introduce a bill mandating gun storage measures for Virginia gun owners, though her op-ed…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Facial recognition as a biometric school entry system is already being tested in 20 schools in Russia. Alongside the use of facial recognition, the school grounds are fenced, cameras are installed along the perimeter, and entry is through checkpoints. As is the case with all rights and freedom destroying polices the world over, the Government claims this digital concentration camp is necessary to keep children safe while at school. Although children appear to be the primary targets for the “digital transformation,” they are not the only Russians being subjected…
When people are planning some crime, many opt to case the target to see what kind of security is in place. Most don’t know what they’re looking for, but they saw it in a movie, so they do it, too. Those who do know what they’re doing look as well. That’s not necessarily universal of mass shooters, necessarily, but it’s common enough that it’s something people should be on the lookout for.It seems that the Brown University shooter cased the school. What’s more, it seems that at least one staff member of the university not…

Rob Reiner spent half a century teaching America how to talk about itself; that’s why the news out of Brentwood last week has landed with such force. Tragically, Reiner, 78, and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found dead at their home on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025. Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, has been arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. The medical examiner ruled the deaths homicides caused by multiple sharp-force injuries.The case is progressing rapidly through the court system, partly due to the involvement of…
