When we talk about Glocks, most of us usually think these are used by law enforcement for service or for personal protection. Handgun hunting is really not at the top of the list, but there are the few minority that carry Glocks for hunting. Most folks either love it or hate it. So, according to Youtuber Braydon Price having a Glock 10mm was a good choice to have for his situation. He was able to take down a big whitetail buck. For this situation, Braydon went with his Glock 40 since it was easier for him to pull it out...

The bar for failing test scores in North Carolina’s state public schools may be significantly lowered under proposed new legislation. House Bill 145, introduced by the North Carolina General Assembly last Thursday, proposes to base grades on a 15- rather than a 10-point scale. In other words, an F grade would constitute anything below a 40 percent score — much lower than the 60 percent mark that is the norm in North Carolina and most other states, WPLG reported. Under the new scale system, an A would be 100 to 85 percent, a B would be 84 to 70 percent,...

There was just a segment on Fox & Friends where an OBGYN Dr who was performing late term abortions became Pro Life. He had lost his own young daughter when she was hit by a car. Suddenly he looked at what he was doing to babies and stopped.

The Oregon City Police Department posted an image on their Facebook page, showing the Police Department destroying guns with Benchmade equipment.The image was reposted on the Benchmade page, to show that Benchmade was helping the local police.

The ambitious Green New Deal proposal for combating climate change was dealt another blow Wednesday as Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to commit to holding a vote on the nonbinding resolution. “I can’t say we’re going to take that and pass it because we have to go through our checks and balances of it with our committee chairs and the rest,” the California Democrat said when asked about the Green New Deal during a Howard University lecture series. “We welcome all the enthusiasm that people want to put on the table, and the Green New Deal is one of them, but...

Roger Stone said that President Trump was not aware of any contact he had with WikiLeaks regarding the release of Democratic National Committee emails. “Mr. Cohen's testimony is entirely untrue,” Stone told the Washington Examiner Wednesday ...

According to documents associated with a plea agreement reached with the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it was on Aug. 28, 2017, that Michael Cohen sent a letter to the House and Senate Intelligence committees about his interactions with his former legal client President Trump. Among the claims in that letter, Cohen asserted that conversations about a prospective real estate development in Moscow ended in January 2016, before the Republican primaries began. “By the end of January 2016, I determined that the proposal was not feasible for a variety of business reasons,” his statement read, “and should...

The average conservative and the average liberal disagree on the vast majority of the issues, and in the few cases where they can agree, each won't support the other out of sheer tribalism for his side. Since Democrats can't win the argument with reason and facts, they try to intimidate us into silence. While Trump is their focus, we should know that the loathing is really against normal everyday Americans. The Constitution plays a central role in the disagreement. On the right are those who believe in its use as a restraint on government that can be altered only by...

Watching the events unfold some 24 hours ago one saw a confident and fairly accurate posture in the media in general and social media in particular by Pakistan as it successfully flexed its military muscle against India. India, on the other hand, came off as confused denying anything had happened until Pakistan proved the Indian MIG was downed and pilot captured. Pakistan showed its military strength and its apparent self-confidence. And why shouldn't it be confident. Right now the Pakistan created and backed Taliban of Afghanistan are involved in negotiations with the United States.......

During Michael Cohen’s testimony today, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was one of the people who questioned Michael Cohen. Many people on Twitter were not happy because of her history with the Democratic National Convention when Bernie Sanders was running for President in 2016. Here’s a look back at what happened with the DNC and some of the reactions on Twitter to her questions to Cohen. **SNIP** In July 2016, Wasserman Schultz stepped down as chair of the DNC after Wikileaks published DNC emails that showed the organization strongly favored Clinton over Sanders during the primary. Brazile briefly served as interim chair...

A surprise Republican win in the House on a procedural vote Wednesday exposed divisions within the Democratic leadership, set off recriminations and underscored that the party is still adjusting to its new majority. GOP leaders used one of the few tools available to the House minority to amend a Democratic gun-control bill, adding a provision that would require notification to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when undocumented immigrants try to buy guns. Twenty-six Democrats joined Republicans on the vote, an embarrassing setback for party leaders who had carefully screened amendments to keep GOP fingerprints off a high-profile bill. While the...

Full Title: Theft of decapitated mummy's head from Dublin crypt was 'planned crime' and not 'mindless vandalism', say Gardaí Last weekend, tomb raiders decapitated and subsequently stole the head of 'The Crusader' – 800-year-old mummified remains believed to be those of a man who fought in the Crusades during the Medieval Era. The head remains missing and there are fears it will begin to deteriorate in the open air as micro-climatic conditions in the crypt had kept it preserved. Two other mummies – including the body of a 400-year-old nun – were also "desecrated" …(snip) ...St Michan's Church – founded...

Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez plans to announce Friday that he’ll become the first in the state to support giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. “I have placed a strong emphasis on road safety, which undoubtedly improves when all drivers are properly licensed, road-tested and insured, and when all vehicles are subject to inspection,” he said in a statement.
