The president of the United States threatened the city of Chicago with “war” on Saturday, writing on social media, “Chicago [is] about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” along with an AI-generated image of Trump as Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore from the 1979 dystopian warfilm “Apocalypse Now.” The image has Trump/Kilgore squatting in front of the Chicago skyline with Army cavalry helicopters leaving the scene of a napalm strike above the words “Chipocalypse Now”. In the Francis Ford Coppola film, Kilgore famously said, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” Trump’s social media post featured…

Customized ammunition, like Hornady’s HD SBR Black load for 5.56 NATO-chambered SBRs, is often needed to obtain peak performance from shorter barrels. In the course of the past couple decades, the popularity of firearms with short barrels and rifle receivers has steadily increased. So far, those who can afford it have been willing to jump through paperwork hoops and pay the additional $200 tax for already-expensive, but very handy, short-barreled rifles (SBRs). With President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, that tax will no longer apply beginning in 2026. And, if litigation filed by NRA and other pro-gun groups succeeds,…

00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Cow’s Week in Review with Ryan cow Calahan. Here’s cal A sixty two year old fish pulled from Lake Superior is thought to be the oldest ever lake trout caught in the Great Lakes. The fish, which researchers dubbed Mary Catherine, was collected at Klondike Reef in Autumn twenty twenty three by researchers with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. It’s not a giant at just under five pounds, but what it lacks in size, I’m sure it makes up for an experience. Lake trout live…

Before the election, I had stocked up on some ammo just in case internet sales were abolished, which thankfully did not happen. I enjoy shooting my 1911 chambered in .45 ACP, but more with a lighter 185-grain target load as opposed to the 230-grain hardball. I came across an online sale for some non-toxic Winchester Super Clean ammunition, which is loaded with 165-grain FMJ lead-free bullets. So, I bought a case of this ammunition, thinking that this should be a nice-shooting load with even less recoil than my 185-grain target loads. Surprisingly, the boxes that arrived were labeled for 160-grain bullets, not…

The Bren Ten started as a cartridge in search of a pistol. No less a subject-matter expert than the late Col. Jeff Cooper had a vision of the perfect combat-handgun cartridge: a .40-caliber, 200-grain bullet that left the muzzle at 1,000 fps. While working on this round, dubbed the .40 Super, Cooper met Thomas Dornaus and Michael Dixon in 1980. A year earlier, the two men formed Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises to develop an improved and more powerful alternative for the Government 1911. The three men joined forces, with Cooper as an outside technical consultant. With this arrangement, Cooper’s cartridge…

President Donald Trump’s administration is sending multiple F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico in operations against drug cartels – another major escalation of force in the region that is concerning legal experts and stoking international tensions.A source familiar with the plans confirmed the deployment of 10 F-35s to Military.com. Reuters first reported the F-35s would be used in operations against designated narco-terrorist organizations operating in the southern Caribbean, and they’re scheduled to arrive in the area by late next week.The escalation and planned use of the highly advanced and costly stealth aircraft come after the Pentagon sent out a public…
