Realistic bear defense drills can help prepare gun owners for actual situations. The success of Eli Dicken in stopping a mass murder in the early stages, with excellent marksmanship at a claimed 40 yards, has engendered a plethora of people creating and executing some form of a “Dicken Drill” of ten shots at 40 yards.There have been a number of “bear defense” exercises, usually arranged to simulate a worst-case scenario. I know of one such scenario, as it was related to me, by the inventor/trainer who ran it for a major agency.The “bear” ran on a cart, as I recall,...

FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a forceful statement on Thursday in response to the harsh rhetoric against the agency following the raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago. He said:Unfounded attacks on the integrity of the FBI erode respect for the rule of law and are a grave disservice to the men and women who sacrifice so much to protect others. Violence and threats against law enforcement, including the FBI, are dangerous and should be deeply concerning to all Americans. Wray went on to praise the men and women of the FBI for their professionalism and commitment...

At least 76 churches and pro-life organizations have been targets of arson and vandalism since May when news leaked that the U.S. Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade. The latest count comes from the Catholic News Agency, which has been keeping track of the incidents targeting pro-life advocates. The crime wave has many churches and pro-life organizations increasing security and Republican lawmakers demanding action from the Biden administration to crack down on the growing domestic terrorism. According to CNA, there have been 76 attacks and counting since early May when someone leaked a draft ruling of the Dobbs v....

The latest beneficiaries of the Biden regime’s two-tier legal system are the pro-abortion fanatics who have attacked over 50 pro-life centers since May 8, shortly after the draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. While Biden’s handlers are doing everything they can to circumvent the Court’s decision and keep sacrifices to Moloch going everywhere, Old Joe’s desperately corrupt and politicized Justice Department has not managed to arrest a single person in connection with these attacks. What a surprise. On May 15, the Women’s March declared: “Our Summer of Rage is officially beginning. We’re prepared to rage for...

Representative Jim Jordan reads off a list of all the pro-life churches and centers attacked by the radical left recently.. In recent months numerous crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life health centers, and churches have been vandalized, firebombed, and otherwise attacked by radical left pro-abortion rioters. Groups such as “Jane’s Revenge” and “Ruth Sent Us” have claimed responsibility for the vast majority of these attacks, yet the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are doing everything they can not to put a stop to these domestic terrorist attacks. ... Similarly, the mainstream media is hardly covering these events. Lives are being...

The Catholic Church is heeding federal law enforcement's warning that a radical group is "calling for extreme violence" against churches nationwide in response to the Supreme Court's expected reversal of abortion rights. An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned "Night of Rage," targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights. Labeled an "urgent...

There was a time not too long ago when young and otherwise healthy athletes weren’t dying from heart attacks regularly. Those days were before the Covid-19 “vaccines” were rolled out. Now, it seems like I’m posting a few stories every week highlighting the latest possible victim of adverse reactions to the jabs. Unfortunately, very few others are doing the same. Corporate media ignores it literally every single time another athlete “inexplicably” dies. Even most in conservative media pretend like there’s nothing to see here, though there are some noteworthy exceptions and we link to them regularly at The Liberty...

The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans who call Ketanji Brown Jackson pro-pedophile were intentionally putting her life in danger. They were discussing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) tweet claiming that Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) were “pro-pedophile,” anchor Joy Reid said, “These terms, indoctrination, grooming, predator, accusing innocent people of being pedophiles to or being soft on pedophiles, it’s all a very specific trigger for a group that is sinking its teeth into our political discourse. Folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene know that. There’s a reason...

Sen.

President Joe Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday that any attack against NATO could spark World War III. The president spoke about the conflict at a House Democrat retreat in Philadelphia, vowing again to defend “every inch” of NATO territory from Putin and the Russians.

Well, for so many years I taught school and every year cheating became less and less stigmatized. Administrators became more and more corrupt as they implemented their agendas, right and wrong be damned, and showed favoritism to certain wealthy and/or athletic individuals. I kept saying their were consequences for this and got thrown out on my head. Now, we are seeing the mother of all cheating consequences with the situation in the Ukraine and probably eventually Taiwan and the rest of Asia. Everyone and their mother's uncle knows Biden and Harris did not win that election and the Democrat Party...

Another terrorist imprisoned in Guantanamo to walk free The Biden administration is slated to set free a would-be 9/11 hijacker who has been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for his role in the deadly strike on Americans at the World Trade Center, generating outrage from top Republican lawmakers. Mohammed al-Qahtani, who planned to hijack planes on Sept. 11, 2001, for al Qaeda but was denied entry into the United States, will be transferred to Saudi Arabia following the Biden administration's decision late last week to set him free. He is scheduled to be flown to Saudi Arabia and placed in a...

Aortic valve stenosis, or AS, is a heart condition that often shows no symptoms until it’s already too late. The condition is when the heart's aortic valve narrows, reducing or blocking blood flow from the heart into the main artery to the body (aorta).This can cause chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, or a rapid, fluttering heartbeat in the more severe and life-threatening cases.Some people are more prone to getting it, including those of older age, with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart conditions from birth.Given the ageing of the UK population, it is thought that there may be a large pool...

Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off the Biden administration’s remarks on the first anniversary of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot by comparing it to the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. “Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault. Dates that occupy not only a place in our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11, 2001. And January 6th, 2021.”

Two in three Americans surveyed in a new poll said the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol was not an isolated incident. The CBS News poll released Sunday found that 68 percent of respondents said that they believe the attack is a sign of increasing political violence in the country, while 32 percent of said it was isolated.

Video that has resurfaced after the new Massachusetts US attorney was narrowly confirmed by the US Senate, with Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote, shows President Joe Biden's latest appointee angrily confronting journalists in January 2021 over a road rage incident in which she cut off a white motorist and then appeared to impersonate a police office in a Boston parking lot. Biden tapped Suffolk Country District Attorney Rachael Rollins to lead the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts in July. On Wednesday she made history as the first black woman to be confirmed in the role by the Senate, when...
