ohn was a world-class expert and instructor on shooting, firearms, and ammunition. Having been introduced to gun culture at a young age by his uncle Graves Gladney, also of St. Louis, John became a nationally recognized prodigy in shooting and designing firearms and ammunition by the time he graduated from high school. It was a lifelong passion for John, who as an adult became a world-renowned and highly respected expert in many different areas of the global firearms and ammunition industries. His dedication to gun culture and to the history of firearms in America led to his ongoing work as...

DISPATCHES FROM GEN. McCLELLAN. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, May 4 -- 7 P.M. Hon E.M. Stanton, Secretary of War: Our cavalry and horse-artillery came up with the enemy's rear guard in their intrenchments, about two miles this side of Williamsburgh. A brisk fight ensued just as my Aid left. SMITH'S Division of infantry arrived on the ground, and, I presume, carried his works, though I have not yet heard. The enemy's rear is strong, but I have force enough up there to answer all purposes. We have, thus far, seventy-one heavy guns, and large amounts of tents, ammunition, &c....

There are calls for a #MothersDayStrike. We support it, along with @StrikeForChoice who’s planning a day of walk-outs on Thu May 12. #DefendRoe This is what Mother’s Day should look like. Catholic and Evangelical Churches nationwide:

The congressional redistricting wars are mostly over. Much of the hoopla surrounding it is proving overheated. Before looking at this cycle's results, a primer on the subject is in order. The first and most important point is that the requirement that districts have equal populations seriously limits the effects of partisan redistricting. That requirement seems to have been on the minds of the framers of the Constitution. The framers mandated a federal census to be conducted every 10 years to determine the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives based on population. Ours was, I believe, the first regularly...

U.S. immigration authorities will increase expulsions of Cubans and Nicaraguans arriving at the southern border back to Mexico... The Washington Post... reported a deal reached with Mexico on April 26 to increase the number of expulsions... A Biden administration official familiar with the matter confirmed the arrangement... A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said that Title 42, a public health order by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, remains in place “with respect to single adults and family units...” “Individuals who are not able to be expelled under the CDC’s Title 42 public health Order are processed through...

It’s interesting and weird for a few minutes. But you gradually come to realise that he is actually crazy. His main point is wrong and so his solutions are wrong too, Brownstone Institute wrote of Bill Gates’s new book ‘How to Prevent the Next Pandemic’. The main theme is implied in the title. With enough money, intelligence, and power, along with technological know-how at the helm, the next pathogen to come along can be stopped in its tracks. Where the bug goes after that he never explains. Presumably, it just disappears. Like a computer virus, it exists but doesn’t ruin...

The rate of stillbirths in Iceland almost doubled compared with the average for 2011-2020 and first-year infant deaths more than doubled. Taken together there was an 82% increase, as reported by Icelandic daily Frettin based on new data from Statistics Iceland. No infant deaths have been attributed to Covid according to official data. The Mass Covid injection campaign began in early 2021 and by 15 July, 70% of the population had been fully vaccinated. Eleven cases of foetal damage post-Covid injection had been reported to the Icelandic Medicines Agency by the end of April 2022, wrote Thorsteinn Siglaugsson. He continued:...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will hold a vote on a bill codifying abortion's legality so that voters, he contends, can "see where every senator stands." Though Schumer believes this is a political slam dunk for Democrats, it presents a magnificent opportunity for Republicans to make their case. Though many conservatives have rightly avoided prematurely celebrating Justice Samuel Alito's draft decision, many also seem frightened of debating the underlying issue. Indeed, the draft leak is a significant assault on the system, but no more so than Roe v. Wade. For 50 years, our culture and media have treated this flawed...

Liberals are preparing to riot in the streets this summer to make sure that the daily sacrifice to their god Molech doesn’t experience any meaningful disruption. President Joe Biden called the ‘MAGA crowd’ the ‘most extreme political organization in American history’ in a full-throated attack on Republicans and their ‘ultra-MAGA’ agenda in a speech from the White House on Wednesday. He also warned that the GOP could ban LGBT children from classrooms if Roe v. Wade is overturned and signaled they could even reverse the 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut case that struck down a state law banning the use of...

A new poll found that some voters who didn't attend college also want student loan forgiveness. The Student Borrower Protection Center (SBPC) and Data for Progress released a poll Thursday, that asked 1,110 likely voters between April 30 and May 3 about "what actions the federal government should take on student loan debt?" Twenty-three percent of respondents who didn't go to college said the federal government should eliminate all student loan debt for every borrower. Meanwhile, 34 percent said that "some" debt should be eliminated for every borrower, and 34 percent said that any student loan debt shouldn't be eliminated...

Trevor Noah was correct. EVERYTHING is more expensive under Biden. And REAL average hourly earnings YoY keeps declining. REAL average hourly earnings YoY fell further to -3%. Meanwhile, fertilizer prices, a key ingredient to food costs, is up 262% under Biden. Today’s jobs report was better than expected, at 428k jobs added (versus 380k expected). Its just too bad Bidenflation is clubbing American workers to economic death. US labor force participation actually declined in April and struggles to get back to levels pre-Covid and Trump. Here is the jobs market data for April 2022. Its official! I am no longer...

Synchron Inc., which develops a so-called brain-computer interface and competes with Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp., enrolled the first patient in its U.S. clinical trial, putting the company’s implant on a path toward possible regulatory approval for wider use in people with paralysis. Wow, I know you got a lot on your end times plate, what with nuclear war looming in Russia, the coming ANTIFA riots this summer, the overturning of abortion in America, the Internet of Bodies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and so much more, but I have to add one more tiny, little thing to the lineup today....

In the biggest drop since 1947, U.S. worker productivity plummeted as inflation skyrocketed for businesses trying to buy raw materials and parts. Meanwhile the Fed is increasing rates into the slowdown – classic stagflation. Only this time, it’s on purpose. In another shocking headline showing the intentional destruction of the American economy, Biden is reportedly buying back oil to fill the strategic petroleum reserve at very high prices, throwing additional costs on the economic dumpster fire. He released all the cheap oil Trump had acquired at record low prices recently. Do you get what the OBiden administration is doing now?...

An old Army bud has observed an uptick in "training tempo"...curious if any freepers in that area observing this also? "Living close to Hunter Army Airfield and Beaufort Marine Air Station I am used to frequent flights of tactical aircraft overhead but the last week or so there has been an extraordinary amount of formation traffic at all hours, every day and night, of F18, F35, F22, etc. I thought money for training was hard to come by these days."

Ukraine may have shot another Russian warship with an MP saying one of Putin's state-of-the-art frigates is 'in trouble' in the Black Sea. Oleksiy Goncharenko, head of the council of Odesa which houses Ukraine's largest naval base, identified the vessel on his Telegram channel as the Admiral Makarov. -snip- Unconfirmed reports suggest rescue vessels and aircraft have set off from Russia's largest Black Sea port of Sevastopol towards the site, while flight tracking data shows an American drone is circling nearby. If confirmed, it would be another hugely embarrassing loss for Russia after Ukraine managed to sink the Moskva -...

ARTICLE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON NOVEMBER 18, 2019 CD Media has been steadily breaking news on American government and Obama Administration corruption in Ukraine as the impeachment inquiry scam heats up in Washington, D.C. Although we have provided plenty of evidence of organized crime emanating from the State Department and elsewhere in the U.S. governmental infrastructure in Kyiv, many still wonder why the Democrats are so rabid to stop Trump from having a second term. Well, now we believe we are getting closer to the answer. Today CD Media sat down with former Ukrainian MP Alexandr Onyshchenko in Dusseldorf, Germany to...

President Biden’s aides have largely ditched using the Oval Office for press events because of the inability to have a teleprompter permanently installed, forcing them to resort to using a specially outfitted bogus White House set, according to a report on Thursday.

Documents obtained by The Federalist raise concerns about the validity of CrowdStrike’s analysis of the DNC hack. The Georgia Tech cyber security experts ensnared in the Alfa Bank hoax conducted a retrospective analysis of the Democratic National Committee hack, according to the Department of Defense. While the results of that analysis have yet to be made public, internal documents obtained by The Federalist reveal that Georgia Tech’s computer scientists believed CrowdStrike’s approach to investigating computer intrusions relied on the use of easily “spoofed/impersonated” signals of traffic. In June 2016, about one month before WikiLeaks released a trove of internal communiques...
