POTD: Geissele MRGG MK1 - 6.5 Creedmoor Precision Platform In Action
by Eric B on April 30, 2026 at 11:30 pm
Some rifles are built for general use. Others are purpose-built to stretch distance and deliver consistency shot after shot.

by Matt E on April 30, 2026 at 11:00 pm
Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner .

Let's take a closer look at the best cover garments for concealed carry.

<![CDATA[Mahmoud Khalil's case is, as Dan Linnaeus explains in the X post linked below, something of a dividing line in how people think about citizenship, the right to stay in a Western country, the limits of tolerance we must have for hatred from noncitizens, and most of all over whether we should see non-Westerners as everywhere and always victims, and Westerners as oppressors who deserve whatever we get. ]]>

on May 1, 2026 at 1:20 pm
<![CDATA[Technically speaking, time just ran out for Donald Trump's war with Iran. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 gives presidents 48 hours to notify Congress after military action begins, and then has to seek approval from Congress to continue hostilities. Today is Day 62.
