Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that the Russians are going to try and manipulate US elections again regardless of whether President Donald Trump decides to address the issue or not. Ms Clinton, noting her previous role as secretary of State, spoke out after America’s National Security Agency director, Adm Michael S Rogers, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he had not been authorised to change overall strategy on America’s efforts to curb Russian election meddling. “I say this as a former Secretary of State and as an American: the Russians are still coming,” Ms Clinton said. “Our intelligence professionals are imploring … Continue reading

As a concealed carry instructor in a state that requires training and follow-up qualifications every 24 months, I’ve heard many people express regret or demonstrate lack of readiness to exercise what my open carry state considers to be the privilege of concealing a handgun. Here are seven typical mistakes to avoid when beginning the journey of concealed carry: 1. Buying too-big gun A larger handgun is generally easier to handle and fire than one that’ll fit on your ankle or discreetly under a dress shirt. But the gun that’s a joy at the range can be nearly impossible to conceal … Continue reading

The AR-15 is the most demonized firearm in the world these days (or at least in the United States). While gun folks tend to love the blasted things–yours truly included–anti-gunners see them as basically magazine-fed bazookas. Thanks to the media, which has misrepresented the weapons to the public at large, most people seem to think they’re the most deadly firearms out there. As a result, most folks look at the rifles with something like disgust following the tragedy in Parkland, FL. Yet it’s important to remember that the rifles aren’t inherently good or evil. They’re just tools that can be … Continue reading

The Southern Poverty Law Center is assisting YouTube in policing content on their platform, The Daily Caller has learned. The left-wing nonprofit — which has more recently come under fire for labeling legitimate conservative organizations as “hate groups” — is one of the more than 100 nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and government agencies in YouTube’s “Trusted Flaggers” program, a source with knowledge of the arrangement told TheDC. The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so-called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos. All of the groups in the program have confidentiality agreements, a spokesperson for Google, YouTube’s parent company, previously told … Continue reading

When I mention the year 2014 do any events stand out in your mind?  Some of you may think of births of family members or special anniversaries or incredible vacations that you took.  You know the kind,  the ones you wish you could take every year because they were just that amazing?  Yeah, I love those too. But when I think of 2014, two things come to mind. Let’s start with the second event. We moved (usually a fun thing) in November of 2014. But the reason we moved was because of another event that began in August of 2014 and continued … Continue reading

The ancient Chinese order of Shaolin monks are famous for many extraordinary feats of human endurance and strength. But you might be less familiar with perhaps the most incredible of all – shattering glass with a mere needle. It may sound impossible, but the Shaolins’ logic-defying move has been captured with a powerful slow-motion camera. Appearing on an episode of the ‘Super Slow Show’ on YouTube, monks clad in the Shaolins’ distinctive orange robes displayed this ridiculous feat in front of a Phantom v2511 camera, which can film at rates of more than 25,000 fps (frame per second). Master Bruce … Continue reading

Why do so many apparently informed, intelligent, educated people still believe in ManBearPig? For the same reason that the U.S. underestimated the Japanese threat before Pearl Harbor; that General MacArthur stupidly advanced north of the 38th parallel in Korea; that JFK got embroiled in the Bay of Pigs disaster; that LBJ dragged the U.S. deeper and deeper into the Vietnam War. A phenomenon known as ‘groupthink’. Though the name dates back to a 1952 article in Fortune magazine by William H Whyte, it wasn’t popularized for another twenty years when a Yale research psychologist called Irving Janis used it in the title … Continue reading

Media coverage following the school shooting at a Florida high school earlier this month appears to imply that these types of massacres are pervasive. As one New York Times headline put it, “A ‘Mass Shooting Generation’ Cries Out for Change.” “This is life for the children of the mass shooting generation,” the Times wrote. “They were born into a world reshaped by the 1999 attack at Columbine High School in Colorado that killed 13 people, and grew up practicing active shooter drills and huddling through lockdowns. They talked about threats and safety steps with their parents and teachers. With friends, they wondered whether it could happen at … Continue reading

As Americans continue to rage over the Valentine’s Day school shooting in Florida, expressing indignation at both the atrocity and efforts to impose (or reject) gun control, the U.S. government has acknowledged its own perpetual addiction to violence. According to two letters released by the federal government last week in response to an inquiry from Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, the U.S. plans to maintain its military presence in Syria and Iraq indefinitely, citing vague threats of terrorism. In one letter, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) David Trachtenberg responded to Kaine by justifying continued operations in Syria with the 2001 Authorization for … Continue reading

Lard has long been maligned as the unhealthiest fat to cook with – but a dietitian has revealed that it may actually be good for you. Lard – which is made from pig fat – contains ‘good’ fats called monounsaturated fats that research has shown can help lower levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol, Jo Travers of the British Dietetic Association reveals on Monday night’s Food Unwrapped on Channel 4. Despite outdated research linking unsaturated fats to heart disease, more recent studies reveal that in fact eating healthy unsaturated fats can improve heart health. And it could even be better for us than … Continue reading

Since the days of Lord Novgorod, the great merchant city, the Russian lands were adorned with many a gleaming Golden Horde, though that term became far more sinister when it referred to the Mongol Empire that devasted Rus’, rather than that which filled the treasury. Now a Golden Horde has returned to Russia, but this time in the form precious metal, and just as she has eclipsed her ancient Eastern Foe, the Mongol Empire, now Russia’s gold reserves have waxed greater than her oriental ally China. Bloomberg reports: Russia has overtaken China as the fifth-biggest sovereign holder of gold, allowing it to diversify its foreign … Continue reading
