Listen to the history of the Bedford Flag on Ammo.com’s Resistance Library Podcast! On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave talk about the history of the Bedford Flag.

I have friends and family who have traveled for vacations during the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband and I have taken trips during the pandemic, too, but only road trips, and we stay at Airbnb rentals (by ourselves). Some of my relatives, meanwhile, went to Hawaii, justifying it as helping Hawaii’s economy. Some have flown upwards of five times during the pandemic. Many even traveled during the holidays and got together with people outside their household for multiple days. These friends and relatives are not anti-maskers. They proudly tout all the extra safety precautions they take when traveling, and they get...

Gen. Tom McInerney: Well, we had the most massive cyberwarfare attack, Mike, in history on our electorial system. It has never been anything of that magnitude. But let me step back one more. The fact is that the pandemic, Covid-19, that hit us back in January 2020 was not a pandemic. It was, in my humble opinion, it was a deliberate, biological attack by the Chinese communist party. This is hybrid warfare as we talked about it. Biological attack followed up by massive cyber warfare. And so that’s what the American people face. We have precise examples and evidence for...

The trips often came just before opinion editorials and news reports excusing Chinese Communist Party crimes, or opposing trade showdowns with the nation.

Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday described a sudden drop in demand for COVID-19 vaccines, with places around the state that had waiting lists a few weeks ago now able to offer plenty of next-day appointments. “Now we’re in a new phase. The line is a lot shorter than it was. The supply is a lot better than it was. We need to recognize that new reality,” he said. Wolf said state officials noticed the drop off last week. It prompted the decision to open vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older as of last Tuesday, nearly a week earlier than...
