There’s a whole lot of pearl-clutching in that MSN article.

What is disturbing to me--but isn't shocking--is that the Biden/Harris campaign is now worried because a big chunk of their base is basically 50/50 about supporting Israel; the feeling is that if Uncle Joe doesn't lighten the rhetoric and financial/military support for Israel, that it could damage ...

A .45 caliber boolit is only 4.43% smaller than a .50 caliber boolit. You’d think its range would be more like 1,768.05 ft.

Either that, or the .50 caliber boolit's real range is only approximately 85.633 ft (if I did my maffs right).

Hard to tell which it is.

There was some kind of sportsing championship in play?

Joy actually knows what she’s talking about this time, as the tweet below can attest:

I understand that 1000 ft lbs of energy is generally accepted as the minimum to put down a deer (not an elk) reliably. If this is true, why is the .44 Magnum, with 600 ft lbs or so , considered OK? Also, I've seen some reliable reports of deer being stopped by the.357 Mag at 50 yds, with less than ...

Post 9/11, there was the beginning of a similar backlash against Muslims. But what exacerbated it and raised it to a fever pitch was too many peopl...

I have been wondering something, and would like to get comments on the following scenario: People have sometimes constructed a "safe room" against tornados. If their house took a direct hit from a tornado, the rest of the house could collapse upon the safe room. How would the occupants al...

They are dyed in the wool idiots. (Edited to correct a misspelling.)

My son has the same setup, and has pronounced it his favorite of all time. He also has a fancy aftermarket slide on his too.

We're not hardcore preppers per se, but over the past year or so the subject comes up of just being more prepared for whatever might happen. I guess the triggering event was the big freeze in February 2021. We had no water (water well was frozen) and electricity was on and off for several days. We'...

Over the years, I’ve purchased a balance of bulk dry food items items like 50 lb bags of rice, buckets of wheat, and bags of salt, sugar, etc; freeze dried long term storage meals like Mountain House and Wise Foods meals, and also shorter term storage items like canned foods, pastas, etc. I’ve also ...
