At a recent gun show I picked up a still-in-the-box Henry Steel Lever 30-30. The gent selling it had shoulder replacement and was unloading the rifle a a good price. He said he had fired it less than 10 times. Not a mark on it. So it came home with me. My question for the group here is this - what's the 'right' leather sling for this rifle? This rifle will not see hard use - my old faithful Marlin 336R is my rifle for short range stands. It'll go in the woods in two weeks for modern firearm season....

[H/T Red Badger]SNIPIn 2016, Dr. Zervos crossed paths with Bigtree, who urged him to take on something public health had avoided for decades: a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.Dr. Zervos agreed, determined to prove Bigtree and other vaccine skeptics wrong. At the time, he vowed, “Whatever the results, they get published.”SNIPDr. Zervos agreed, and the study was completed in 2020. As Bigtree anticipated, the results were devastating for the vaccinated — but there was one major problem: Dr. Zervos chose not to publish the study.In 2022, Bigtree convinced Dr. Zervos to sit down and explain...

The anti-Trump wall of opposition showed cracks on MSNBC when Michael Cohen predicted that the federal government will secure convictions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Cohen, who served 18 months in prison before turning on President Donald Trump, his former client, upset his fellow panelists by observing that both Comey and James had politicized their offices long before they accused the White House of doing the same. “Do I believe, for example, that Tish James will be held accountable? Absolutely,” said Cohen. “Do I think James Comey will be held accountable? Absolutely.”...

Candace Owens doesn’t agree with Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize because the people of Gaza are in danger. She said : "And Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, by the way. For the planned ethnic cleansing so that they could profit on land and turn it into a beach town. So let me say this. This is our never again, okay? This is a Holocaust. A Holocaust just happened. A real Holocaust just happened. We will never forget this. You need to tell your children what happened in Gaza. You can tell them exactly who did it, exactly whose...

What would it look like today if Kamala Harris had won the election? I think we all know those hostages would not be free in all likelihood. I am deeply grateful for President Trump having the forward thinking and skills necessary to be able to have these people freed - well, the ones who survived. More than that, I feel President Trump and his advisors approached this prayerfully - the BEST kind of guidance. I shudder to think what would have happened had Kamala Harris won that election.

Yesterday, I was glancing at the television at the barber shop and I saw an advertisement for the SPLC for $19/month. They will give you a T-shirt that says 'Stop Hate'. I guess the SPLC got funding cut off by DOGE... 😀 I guess I'll send them a note -- F You, SPLC.

Debate moderators repeatedly cut off Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earl-Sears' time short and allowed Democrat Spanberger to run over time. "You have 30 seconds" (Winsome Earl-Sears gives answer). 15 seconds pass - bell dings - "Your time is up."

Research into grape pips found from an excavated Byzantine monastery in Israel hints at the origins of the ‘mysterious’ Gaza wine and the history of grapevine cultivation in desert conditions. The pips from settlements in Israel’s Negev desert - one of which was dated to the 8th century - were likely from a white grape, and is potentially the earliest of its kind documented anywhere in the world. It is thought it could be linked to the sweet white wine - the Gaza wine - that archaeologists have seen references to in historical records, but a lack of evidence of...

King Charles met privately with Farage, then Starme lost it! I only saw this in one place and I wonder if it's fake news or what is going on

ABC late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel told his audience that Antifa does not exist in the same week that the funding mechanisms for organized Antifa rioters was revealed by, Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).The ratings-killing Kimmel addressed the Antifa issue during his monologue on Thursday insisting that there is “no Antifa.”“You understand, there is no Antifa? This is an entirely imaginary organization,” Kimmel exclaimed, plying the left’s recent favorite assertion about the group. “There is not an Antifa. This is no different than if they announced they rounded up a dozen Decepticons [from the...

Everyone take a deep breath. No question Pres. Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025, but the just announced Prize was for 2024. Nominations are due in in January. Trump wasn't President yet. I'm sure he'll be nominated next year, and should be the ONLY nominee.

I don't trust doctors at all. I am over 50 years old and I have only trusted THREE doctors in my entire life- I don't trust them.

Join Libby Emmons as she fills in for Tim Pool, with guest Andy Ngo, Nick Sortor, James Klug, and Richie McGinnis as they talk about antifa and their current activites, and their interactions with them. Of interest...Andy Ngo points out that people should be concerned that, under the pretense of 2nd amendment rights, trans militants are stockpiling weapons and training for the purpose of killing those they consider transphob and fascist Ngo feels the left has embraced an assassination culture, and it's just a matter of time before there is another assassination of a conservative or person on the right.

In 2009, Russia’s state nuclear agency, Rosatom, began acquiring a Canadian company called Uranium One. It started small—17%—then kept buying. By 2010, Rosatom wanted control. The prize wasn’t just uranium. It was access: to Kazakh deposits, American mines, and strategic reserves buried beneath a 35,000-acre ranch in Wyoming.The deal needed approval from CFIUS, a powerful U.S. committee tasked with blocking foreign threats to national security. On the panel sat the State Department, then led by Secretary Hillary Clinton.That spring, as the uranium deal quietly advanced toward Washington, Salida’s charitable arm—the Salida Capital Foundation—received $3.3 million. It was an anonymous donation.Within...

A powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck offshore in the southern Philippines on Friday, killing at least two people, while towns near the epicentre suffered structural damage and authorities warned of strong aftershocks. The quake, in waters off the town of Manay in the province of Davao Oriental, triggered a tsunami alert for coasts within 300 km (186 miles) of the epicentre, but the warnings for the Philippines and Indonesia were subsequently lifted. A strong aftershock of magnitude 6.9 struck at around 7 p.m. (1100 GMT) triggering a new tsunami warning, with the country's seismology agency Phivolcs warning of possible tsunami...
