There’s no doubt that the mainstream media has a profound anti-gun bias. We know it, and we can see it, but it’s not as obvious to a lot of people who don’t delve as deeply into Second Amendment topics as most of us do.

Trump has blamed the peeling on vandals, though critics allege it’s from shoddy repair work. Interior…
The U.S. Army is organized into three main rank groups: enlisted soldiers (E-1 to E-9), warrant officers (W-1 to W-5) and commissioned officers (O-1 to O-10).

As they advance into the noncommissioned officer (NCO) and senior NCO ranks, they become responsible for training, mentoring and managing lower-ranking soldiers. Warrant officers are…

(Photo/Sean McCoy) I didn’t really care about…
