Whew. Strong words…

@TheAmmoBourse Good to know. Will you add more calibers than you have now? Or are you going to keep it with the common ones?
@TheAmmoBourse How often do you update the feed?

Plain butterball is so pedestrian. Elevate your turkey game this Thanksgiving with some tastier options…
Side note, I really don’t like turkey all that much. My family used to determine the turkey was done when the little pop up thing popped up and then an additional 2 hours. Not even the gravy could save it…
Need a last-minute turkey recipe, wild or otherwise? Try our wild turkey with raspberry sauce, wild turkey schnitzel, or wild turkey with cheddar biscuits and gravy. Don’t like turkey? Try our smoked venison ham recipe. https://t.co/IvXwgMmlct

Fireflies have made a major comeback in our area
Destroying a nation from the inside doesn’t look like a classic invasion. In 2025, it looks like confusion, chaos, and unacknowledged threats walking among us.
In GWOT, the most stressful part wasn’t fighting uniformed enemies. It was facing asymmetric threats. Women, children, and men so soft, weak, or strange that most Americans would never think twice before turning their back on them.
Like cavalry dismissing infantry before the rise of the pike, we’re in danger of underestimating those who appear weak but strike without warning. The firearm is the new equalizer. You don’t need strength. You don’t need a cause. Just madness and a trigger finger.
We don’t have asylums anymore. So the disturbed roam freely. We’ve been shamed into silence. Told not to judge, not to profile, not to act. And so we wait… until the next atrocity.
But we can’t afford to wait.
These people weaponize weakness. They hide behind it. They use it. And unless we learn to detect danger before it strikes, we’ll get more bloodshed, not less.
Today is the anniversary of the first day of Gettysburg. But if civil conflict returns, don’t expect romantic battle lines. You’ll get Baghdad. You’ll get Kandahar. You’ll get sectarian violence so gruesome, Satan himself will flinch.
The only way to prevent that future is to stop underestimating evil. And never, ever take a threat for granted again.
Because when a civilized society’s honor is weaponized against it, the results are the stuff of nightmares when the betrayal is realized.
Luring in, and killing innocent first responders, leads us directly down that path.
22 per day…
There are many things I can’t stop in the world right now, but their is also one that I can. Veteran suicide. And it isn’t done with pushups or hotlines, none of that works.
Psilocybin, however, turns it off like a light switch.
To that end, I have founded the Path of the Barbarian Spirit.
Finally, some good news to come out of NM! Also good to know we have some standup attorneys here.
I got his OK to post this, so here is the rockstar attorney that you all paid for. THANK YOU 💜

@wayofftheres I believe it might be high time to remind the woods who haunts them…
@wayofftheres Have you considered the microwave is not really a microwave?
Some of y’all have never gambled with something really valuable ( like your life), and shows.
Beneath the Skin of Saints | by: E.M. Burlingame
There’s a beast in our gut,
a murder kink woven into bones,
and it’s why your pretty little world
doesn’t get smashed to shit every night.
Trauma? It’s just heroin for the soul,
toughens us up, keeps the blade sharp.
I’ve got kids sleeping down the hall,
and that’s all it takes—
one wrong move, and I’m laughing
through the pain and flesh,
blood on my floor,
some bastard’s guts by the door.
It’s old wiring, see,
Viking wrath pumping through the veins,
a thousand years of war screaming,
“Keep going, you son of a bitch, survive.”
Your tantrums? Cute.
Estrogen fits in a cheap dress.
We, we’re the storm,
testosterone dripping from our blades,
turned on by the crack of a skull
when it’s you or us.
Society’s nothing but a thin veneer,
and we’re the drunk pulling the pin.
Push us, threaten what’s dear to,
and we’ll burn it all down,
raid your ass back to the stone age,
grinning like a mad dog
with a hard-on for the kill.
The rules? They’re for you,
not us.
Our leash is our own,
tied tight ‘til it snaps,
and when it does,
We’re free—
slaughter, an ancient art form,
our love letter to the dead ones
who coded this kink in us.
Don’t strut about as if you're rough,
Delusional, thinking you’re tough.
You’re a mere sparkler;
We’re a goddamn wildfire.
Society rides our back,
and we carry it
with a smirk and a hand grenade,
‘cause down deep,
We’re the bloodied wolves
that keep the sheep alive.
@wayofftheres Right in the feels.
This kind of nonsense (swatting) is going to get people killed (already has).
As you are in process preparing to defend your homestead, call 911 and check with dispatch. They should be able to deescalate rapidly and if the unknowns aren’t LEO, dispatch can get someone enroute.

I was SWATed last night as you can see in these 3 videos.
I was in bed, but noticed Ranger, my German shepherd, was on the prowl, his ears up. I heed his instincts.
I then saw a flicker of light on my BR door. Ranger went to investigate, I got my gun…..
This…
Before I go to work I want to talk about discipline and standards. Frankly, I was floored at some of the reactions to the SECDEF's new focus on fitness and grooming standards. Many of whom are actively serving today.
My question to those people: What the hell are you talking about?
I've heard people say:
"Inspections are a waste of time."
"SECDEF is only focused on stuff an E5 cares about."
"He's trying to drive out women."
"Shouldn't we be focused on winning wars?"
"What's he trying to say here? I don't get it."
Again: What the hell are you talking about?
Do you know why he has to put out memos and guidance like this? Do you know why he has to care at the highest levels of DoD?
Because obviously nobody else does. Or if they do care, nobody is doing anything about it. Mass amounts of Soldiers being fat is a national security issue.
Leaders in uniform with their reactions surprise me. You all know leadership 101 is that when you shine a light on something, that's what your unit chooses to care about. This is the same thing at scale.
Have any of you walked around a base lately? Come on down to Fort Hood. Take a leisurely stroll. Count the fat Soldiers versus the fit ones. They look like they can't walk let alone run a mile and there's TONS of them (pun intended).
You know what else they don't do because they're fat? Literally everything else. They generally don't render customs and courtesies. Their uniforms look like trash. Their demeanor is just generally garbage. I feel like I'm at an Airsoft event.
Some of you are out here probably thinking you've seen Soldiers in the past who were AWFUL at discipline and standards in garrison but amazing in the field. You know what the common denominator with that type of Soldier is though? They are generally good at killing people. Their uniform may have looked like trash but their weapons were IMMACULATE.
Now tell me when you take a walk on Fort Hood that you can honestly say the slovenly Soldiers you're looking at actually have the capacity to kill like I just described. Or the capacity to meticulously care for their equipment; they can't even take care of themselves.
Has the body positivity movement diluted your sense of reality?
America, we are not your social experiment anymore. Cope however you need to at this news. We take quality over quantity, and your celebrations of individuality mean NOTHING to us. They shouldn't mean anything to you either.
War is binary. We win or lose, live or die. You don't even care about winning because none of you have had to deal with the threat of the wolf being at your door. We have just been a vehicle for you to push an agenda for the last few years. That time is over.
When that wolf comes, do you want the fat undisciplined mess protecting you, or the wild eyed fit killer? Seems like common sense to me, something many of you are sorely lacking these days.
On average, if a Soldier looks good then they are good.
My patience level for weakness and indiscipline is at less than zero. I know I'm not even close to being the only one. You think SECDEF just makes these decisions by throwing darts at the wall? No. He gets feedback from people just like me who bombard him with similar comments. Plus I know for a fact he's seen the fitness levels of Soldiers himself on circulation around the globe.
And finally, I would rather take 5 strapping killers into battle over 40 land whales. For those of you officers on the inside resisting this, resign. Or if you're enlisted and on contract, just fall out of a few runs and we'll take care of the rest.
***Real talk though we need to fix the feeding situation across the force (good food and 24/7 chow availability) and STRONGLY consider removing fast food from installations.***
Train harder. Complain less.
They are called man hands, and you can get them at the gym.
