By November 1944, Nazi Germany was collapsing. Soviet forces drove westward through Eastern Europe while the Western Allies advanced from the west and south. For the first time in the war, American and Soviet troops operated in the same theater.On Nov. 7, 1944, the convergence of both forces in Central Europe led to the only documented direct combat between American and Soviet forces in history. American P-38 Lightning fighters attacked what the pilots believed was a German convoy near Niš, Yugoslavia. Instead, they strafed a Red Army column, killing more than 30 Soviet soldiers including a lieutenant general. Soviet fighters…
The story of the American Revolution is often simplified to April 19, 1775; Lexington and Concord, the “shot heard ’round the world,” and war between colonial militias and British regulars. But by the time musket fire echoed across Massachusetts, the conflict had been smoldering for years. Long before independence was declared, the fight was already underway over a fundamental question: whether free people could remain armed. Disarmament Came Before the Shooting The British effort to control the colonies did not begin with battlefield engagements. It began with policies. By 1768, as resistance to taxation without representation, warrantless searches, and arbitrary…

At 96 years old, one wouldn’t blame Guy Pollack if he wished to take it easy, enjoying his sunset years relaxing in a rocking chair. But Pollack will have none of that. Pollack, a Korean War veteran, powers through Tai Chi classes every Monday at the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Pollack has used the VA facility for his medical needs for years, but recently decided to give Tai Chi a try. Part of his physical therapy routine, Pollack told VA News that he would rather attend the classes in person than participate online, alone, at home. His son, William,…
As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to take up the lawsuit challenging Hawaii’s ultra-restrictive concealed carry law, the Aloha State government is making some strange but interesting arguments. Among those is it can regulate carry on private property open to the public because it did so back when it was a “kingdom” and because most Hawaiians like the law. The case Wolford v. Lopez challenges the law Hawaii passed following the 2022 Bruen ruling. The law forbids concealed carry of firearms on private property open to the public, such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores, without the property owner’s…
The price of duck hunting waders is getting out of hand. When SITKA entered the game with a premium wader, it seemed like every manufacturer followed suit with price hikes. Unfortunately, unlike SITKA, most manufacturers weren’t creating a product that justified higher prices. In fact, I’ve been saying for years that outside of the Delta Pros, duck hunting wader manufacturers are light years behind their fishing counterparts. Most options look, feel, and perform like junk made in China. Yet, duck hunters were still stuck with a higher bill. My tin foil hat theory is that brands decided to charge more…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: HHS Freezes Childcare Payments Nationwide After Bombshell Somali-Linked Daycare Fraud Allegations In Minnesota The Department of Health and Human Services is freezing all federal childcare payments to every state following alleged Somali-linked welfare fraud involving Minnesota daycare and autism centers. These revelations shocked the nation earlier this week after being exposed by citizen journalist Nick Shirley. A growing army of citizen journalists is descending into corrupt, Democratic-run states this week, where additional suspected welfare fraud schemes tied to migrant networks are being uncovered – even as corporate media outlets attempt to…
Images by the author When is a Hellcat not a Hellcat? When it’s a BB gun. I almost hear your reaction… huh? Since when did Springfield sell BB guns? Ever since they hired Air Venturi to manufacture them to their specifications. They not only make BB Hellcats, but also other pistols and rifles – see below. Why in the world would you want a Hellcat BB gun? In a word, training. This gun is the same weight and size, and has the same controls as a real Hellcat. I had a Hellcat RDP and gave it to one of our sons……
This year marks the official 20th anniversary of King of the Hammers (KoH), an off-road racing extravaganza that takes place each year in Johnson Valley, Calif. Perhaps most famous for spawning Ultra4 vehicles built for the gnarliest four-wheeling. KoH also includes high-speed desert running in trophy trucks, UTVs, and motorcycles — but rocks are always part of the equation. Every year, the crowds get bigger and bigger, to the point that a makeshift “Hammertown” sprouts up in the desert. It’s almost akin to a Burning Man, only for off-road culture, not transcendental business bros turned Ketamine hipsters for a week.…
While Colorado’s new law prohibiting minors from gun shows without a parent is the dumbest gun control law in the country, it’s right up there with some of California’s regulations. Before they regulated barrel purchases, they started mandating background checks for ammo sales. Needless to say, that law was always going to be challenged. It’s stupid and it needs to go, especially as it doesn’t stop criminals from doing all sorts of things in an effort to get ammo.It’s not like rounds are serialized, after all.Now, the Second Amendment Foundation has announced it’s filed an…
The beast is back. Ram Trucks has just made the return of its TRX official, but this isn’t the same truck as before. It has evolved, with a new supercharged Hemi V8 that makes it the most powerful production pickup ever. The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX has one heck of a name, but it’s also going to have one heck of a price tag. 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Stomps on Ford Raptor (Photo/Ram) Ram and SRT boss Tim Kuniskis isn’t holding back on his excitement for the new truck. “Bringing back the nameplate isn’t enough. Ram set the…
A typical weekly split routine when training hard with calisthenics and/or weights is the Push-Pull-Leg Split. In this, for the first three days of the week, you do all the upper-body exercises that target the “push” muscles: chest, triceps and shoulders. Then on Day 2, you do exercises targeting the upper-body “pull” muscles: biceps, forearms/grip, and upper back/lats. On Day 3 of the split, you do legs, including squats, lunges and leg machines. You could do dead lifts on leg day, but many place it in the “pull” day of the split, along with farmer walks and other grip/core exercises. Here…
