Veteran Shawn Harris spent four decades in the military and has his sights on a new mission: representing Georgia residents in the United States Congress.The retired Army brigadier general is looking to pull a major political upset in less than a week as he faces off against Republican Clay Fuller in a runoff election to replace discontented Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She resigned from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026, following a public feud with President Donald Trump for reasons associated with the lack of releasing the Epstein files, among other differences in opinion.Either Harris or Fuller, a Trump-endorsed district…

I spent years overseeing the guard force security contract at the embassy in Baghdad. I know this 100+ acre compound well, and I know exactly what it means to rely on its defensive systems. There has been a recent shift in the security landscape that every preparedness-minded person needs to pay attention to. Recently, Iranian proxies launched a drone and rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. One of this world’s most critical and heavily fortified diplomatic facilities isn’t just another localized target. It signals a major change in how warfare and terrorism are conducted—and it has direct ripple…

When Vortex flew me out to Wisconsin for their Media Summit last December, the new Strike Eagle 1-10×24 FFP immediately stood out as one of the “must-haves” for the upcoming year. Right alongside the far more exotic (and far more expensive) AMG 1-10×24 FFP, the budget version is also worth considering if you’re looking to extend your range. Although every Media Summit is a surprise, a 1-10×24 FFP felt like the natural next step for the Strike Eagle family. It has the same approachable, average Joe price bracket, but with a feature set that clearly targets buyers who have done…

Images by the author Let me start by clearing my conscience. I have an addiction, of sorts, but it’s not what you’re thinking (unless you’re thinking about Hoosier breaded tenderloins… I might admit to a weakness where they’re concerned…) Actually, I was thinking about low-power, variable-optic scopes (LPVOs). Where I live and hunt, 150 yards is about it in terms of deer habitat and hunting range. To be sure, the last deer I took was with a Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62×39 AR at a measured 149 yards. The only other deer I can recall measuring a distance for was a…

I’m not exactly unused to people in academia taking positions that run contrary to mine. In fact, much of the time, if a position I have is widely shared with academia, it’s time I step back and make sure I’m in the right on that position. They’re a good bellwether for what is and isn’t a terrible idea, usually by taking the contrary position from them. That said, there are some positions maintained by people like university presidents that have to be at least considered and addressed, if for no other reason than the fact…

What’s a gal to do when she’s a rabid anti-gun advocate, but some of her friends are starting to wake up to the fact that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun? Well, if you’re Kris Brown, head of Brady United, formerly Handgun Control Inc., you take to your blog and explain to your followers how they can help guide their friends and family away from potential gun ownership. In a Substack post titled “My Friend Wants to Buy a Gun. What Should I Say?” Brown explains “How to…

Charlie Berens posted an April Fool’s campaign bit, and somewhere between the AI kill switch, the Sheepshead mandate, and the demand that data centers pay for their own power, the whole joke took a hard turn into uncomfortable realism. That’s what makes it funny, and also what makes it a little bleak. The post, framed as a fake run for governor under the usual Manitowoc Minute flavor of Midwest outdoors absurdity, included a platform built around things that should not be remotely controversial, at least not in a country pretending to be serious. No NDAs for AI data centers: NDAs…

For just over the last decade annually during the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting there’s been a woman’s brunch. 2026 is no different and all women are welcomed to attend. The National Rifle Association Annual Meeting is approaching. Each year the Association has their annual members’ meeting and it’s paired with an event-packed exposition. Attendance for NRA members is free, but you can get a three-day pass for $35.00 if you’re not a member. Aside from an exhibitor hall, with over 500 vendors and companies, there’s a number of special ticketed events. The Woman’s New…
