There’s zero reason for DeSantis to stay silent. Complete political miscalculation. Gonna bleed more support in the polls.— Gavin Mario Wax 🇺🇸 🗽 (@GavinWax) March 18, 2023RON DeSILENT— Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 (@alexbruesewitz) March 18, 2023DeSantis committed career suicide today. It's a wonderful sight to behold! DeSimps are jumping ship for Vivek (and others!) faster than you would believe! https://t.co/FHrxPbOy1X— Paul Ingrassia (@PaulIngrassia) March 18, 2023You know I'm 100% Trump 2024 but I still love DeSantis as my Governor - but if DeSantis doesn't come out soon and make a bold statement against this political witch hunt against Trump - the...

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is dead, law enforcement sources said Saturday. A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. The ambulance went to New York Downtown Hospital. The incident comes two weeks after Epstein, 66, was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck. The multimillionaire financier is being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges. Thousands of documents unsealed Friday in connection with a defamation case against the perv’s alleged recruiter revealed dozens of high-profile...

We're gonna be talking about Top 5 9mm carbines; and I realize some of the gun here on the table aren't carbines yet, one of ’em’s technically a pistol, however, these are kind of candidates that would make a good carbine, a good suppressor hose, possibly a good SBR host, so we're trying to cover kind of a wide gamut of different 9mm carbines. Pistol caliber carbines are a lot of fun to play around with, they’re awesome to suppress, they are very handy, they're great for personal defense, great for getting out in the yard and plinking. I cast...

The "trench gun" may be one of the most interesting gun of World War I. When one hears the word most think of the Winchester Model 1897 fitted with a metal handguard and bayonet adapter assembly. What some people don't know is the other shotgun that was issued to the doughboys was the Remington Model 10 pump-action shotgun. Winchester was at the peak of its production during WWI. This is where Remington made its way in with the Model 10 to fill the demands. The term "trench gun" was never an official designation but was widely used to denote a...

At one time back in the day, inside most police cars were equipped with an M-870 shotgun. Then there's an odd ball patrolman with his AR with .223 caliber. Which patrolman has the advantage? The logic behind the usage of an AR stems from situations where a firearm needed for greater range than a shotgun. Or how about shotgun folks talk about having knock down power to stop the fight with its 00 buck. AR's high velocity & capacity with 30 round mag makes up for lack of Knock Down Power. Which is better? There needs to be a...

As a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army and currently serving as a Sergeant Major in the Special Operations community, Joey D'Alessio knows firsthand what shooters want in a firearm: a high-quality product at an affordable price with unparalleled customer service. Which is exactly what he offers at his Raeford, North Carolina-based company, Delphi Tactical. Founded in 2012, Joey and his wife initially sold tactical gear and accessories to generate funding to launch their own custom firearms brand. "Delphi Tactical is a true example of the American dream, and how a few dedicated folks can bring something incredible to bear...

Do you want to be good with a pistol? And, we're not talking about just standing in front of a paper target shooting at your leisure. You want to be able to defend yourself and loved ones. What do you do? There are many shooting drills out there for every skill level, but as with any hobby or skill, the basics are the most important. Without basic proficiency, one cannot become competent, let alone get actually good.. Getting good means you'll need to attend all of these top of the line defensive firearms courses offered at Joe's Tactical School. Reality...

The Savior, the Master Teacher    By Elder Jay E. JensenOf the Presidency of the SeventyJay E. Jensen, "The Savior, the Master Teacher", Ensign, Jan. 2011, 42–47   We are to feast upon the words of Christ—the scriptures—and, as He did, use them to teach and strengthen others.  Under the direction of His Father, Jesus Christ created worlds without number. He was the great Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament. He was born of a mortal mother, Mary, and of God the Eternal Father. He was the greatest being to live on earth. He said He came “to do the will of him...

If Senator Reid, Speaker Pelosi, and President Obama get their way, soon our country will be changed forever. Using every partisan parliamentary trick in the book (including some they invented just last week), Washington’s Left intends to ram through their takeover of our health care system regardless of the consequences. The latest twists and turns in the Obamacare drama seem almost surreal. One minute the Democrat leadership is trying to amend a bill before the president has even signed it into law, and the next minute they’re trying to draft a new rule that will allow the House to “deem”...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joked Friday about the notes she had written on her hand at a recent speech, yet still angrily criticized the White House and the media for making an issue out of it. In a speech at an Orange County Republican fundraiser, she repeatedly referred to getting caught with the notes written on her palm at a speech last month. She went one-by-one through each of the thoughts she said she jotted down: energy, tax cuts and lifting the American spirit. In an obvious shot at President Barack Obama, she said she was...

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin made a stop in Tulsa Saturday. "Hello, Tulsa!" she yelled at the 5,000 strong crowd, who gave her a standing ovation at the Convention Center.. Palin spoke during the "Taking our Country Back" tour. It's a conservative rallying point for those frustrated by the Obama administration. "It is time to take our country back, and I thank you and honor you for being here to do this," Palin said. Talk show host Glenn Beck was also a headliner for the event, along with country musicians John Rich and Gretchen Wilson. People paid $100 and...

2012 is a movie, the end of the Mayan calendar, maybe the end of the Earth. But, thankfully, it's all a myth. Or is it? The 2012 phenomenon gets a new spin from Lawrence M. Krauss in the March 2010 issue of Scientific American. The bottom line: 2012 could be the beginning of the end if we don't take steps to combat climate change, and call out naysayers like Sarah "You Can See Russia from Alaska" Palin. Krauss, a theoretical physicist and science commentator, is director of the Origins Initiative at Arizona State University. Scientific American is far from a...

Sarah Palin lashed out at Washington, the media and condescending liberals Friday night at an Orlando Republican fund-raising event, and predicted the GOP would restore "common sense" to government in the upcoming November elections. Palin said those notes she wrote on her hand at a National Tea Party event — where the media and White House later "busted me for using a poor-man's teleprompter" — explained just what the country needed: a strong energy policy, tax cuts; and "lifting America's spirits." "Americans get it," Palin said. "In Washington, they don't get it." The wildly popular, but equally polarizing former vice...

I have questions I want answered. If anyone has can answer them for me, please do. It’s important to note that I am not interested in opinions. Opinions are what got us into this mess. I want answers. I want to know when we decided as a nation, that it was ok to not be decent to each other. I want to understand how it is possible that just because a woman has different opinions than you, she can be compared to Hitler. I need for someone to explain to me how a young girl can go for a run,...

Earlier this week the left went into full attack mode against Governor Palin after she revealed in a speech that her family had been given medical treatment in Canada when she was a young child. Neglecting all the facts of her story, left-wing blogs, media types, and even congressmen put out a barrage of hit pieces dedicated to painting Governor Palin as some sort of “hypocrite.” The hits were well defended in the Palin blogosphere along with other rationalsites. Even a writer from Esquire felt the need to defend the governor after witnessing the lack of any damning evidence coupled...

b>AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name...

Sarah Palin will be on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno this TUESDAY, March 2.Members of the Los Angeles chapter will be in the studio audience.We will not be able to bring SIGNS inside the taping, but they cannot prevent us from writing a message of encouragement to Governor Palin on our HANDS, right?I'm in favor of us all writing something SIMPLE on our hands, like this, from FReeper MaryFromMichigan : This could get Jay's attention, and might even make it on TV.What do YOU think?

Friends and enemies alike focused almost exclusively on Governor Palin’s hands this past week, following the apparent use of “crib notes” inked in her left palm. A recent report indicates that these inscriptions were not crib notes at all. They were most probably a carefully crafted sleight of hand.

The left thought they had another surefire Sarah Palin attack on their hands (pun intended) when she was caught using hand notes during a speech and Q&A session. It didn't take long for the attack to bite them on the ass tho. Video flashback of Senator Dianne Feinstein using hand notes during a debate: [VIDEO AT SITE] Even better, the rules of the debate forbade the use of notes. On the hands or on paper. Palin used it during a speech, not a debate. Read more at floppingaces.net...

There's Something About Sarah We have been poring over our thousands of photos from the Tea Party Convention, and in so doing, we discovered the following shot among our Sarah Palin files. Founding Bloggers photographer, Michael Kadela, didn’t know it at the time, but he had captured the exact moment Sarah Palin glanced down at her left hand, to read the note she had written there earlier. Those among the outraged Progressive Left trampled each other in the rush to launch personal attacks against Governor Palin, calling her stupid and hypocritical for needing a hand-note in the same speaking engagement...
