Ok weirdos, here it is. This Giveaway is all about firearms training. The prizes:
A copy of @BenStoeger187 new book on dryfire training
A set of simulated distance targets for your training at home
2 Glock 19 Dry Fire training magaines from @textacdesigns
A used @TREXARMSinc AIWB G19 holster with sidecar.
This gives you everything to start carrying and training properly. Just add Glock 19. In all the years I have been in and around the firearms world I often hear the same excuse for why people don't train or carry appropriately. "I already spent $600 on the gun and $200 on ammo. I don't want to spend another $100-300 on that stuff if I don't have to." Ok fine. Now you don't have to.
Let's get this one out there as far as we can so maybe some normies can get some chances to win. If a post about vape cartridge components can get 300k impressions then this should do better. Let's help somebody get trained up.

The greatest thing Japan has ever produced is not in fact Anime or any type of food, but a show about toddlers walking clear across their towns to run errands all by themselves.
This is the true Japan, safe enough to send your child off by themselves knowing they’ll be safe.
@SwiftOnSecurity Same. I had one that ran for so long. Work threw it away and I rescued it. It NEVER gave me issues. Now I have a crappy Brother MFP that requires 1 hour of troubleshooting every time I try to use it. RIP
The FDA says 7-Hydroxymitragynine is an addictive opioid.
Thirteen times more potent than morphine.
The FDA said this in July of 2025.
In July of 2025, the FDA also asked the DEA to classify it as Schedule I.
Schedule I. The same category as heroin.
It is February of 2026.
Seven months later.
The DEA has not acted.
7-OH is still sold over the counter.
At gas stations.
At convenience stores.
At vape shops.
As pills. As drinks. As gummies. As candy.
Candy.
An opioid thirteen times more potent than morphine is sold as candy at gas stations in thirty-seven states.
There are no age restrictions.
There is no dosing information.
There is no purity testing.
There is no FDA-approved use for this substance in any drug, any food, or any dietary supplement.
The FDA has said this.
The FDA has also said it could repeat fentanyl's trajectory.
Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA Commissioner, said that. On the record.
Fentanyl killed over seventy thousand Americans in a single year.
The FDA Commissioner says this substance could follow the same path.
And it is next to the Slim Jims.
The product is derived from kratom. A Southeast Asian plant. In its natural leaf form, kratom contains about two percent 7-OH.
The products at gas stations are not two percent.
They are concentrated. Lab-enhanced. Often synthetic.
The manufacturers take the plant, extract the compound that makes it an opioid, amplify it, and put it in a package that looks like an energy supplement.
The package does not say "opioid."
The package says "natural."
Thirteen states and the District of Columbia have banned it.
Thirty-seven states have not.
In those thirty-seven states, the process for obtaining an opioid thirteen times stronger than morphine is:
Walk into a gas station.
Pay.
Leave.
No prescription. No ID. No pharmacist. No conversation. No database entry. No limit on quantity.
Wyoming is considering a ban.
Because people died.
Kansas is considering classifying it as Schedule I.
Because people died.
The legislative trigger for regulation is death.
Not the FDA calling it an addictive opioid.
Not the FDA asking the DEA to schedule it.
Not the FDA Commissioner comparing it to fentanyl.
Death.
Death is the threshold.
The FDA identified the risk in July of 2025.
Seven months later the product is next to the lottery tickets.
The system that regulates what Americans can put in their bodies has determined that this substance is an addictive opioid thirteen times more potent than morphine, has asked the enforcement agency to ban it, has compared it to the deadliest drug crisis in American history, and has then watched it be sold as candy at a Shell station for seven consecutive months.
The DEA has not commented.
The gas stations have not stopped selling it.
The gummies are still on the rack.
The FDA's assessment is on a website.
The gummies are on a counter.
The counter is winning.
I am the House Ethics Committee.
I keep the record. Here is what the record shows, in order:
2018: Congress passes a rule. HR 6395, Section 3. The rule prohibits sexual contact between members and staff. I am created to enforce it. I file the rule. The rule is filed.
2024: A congressman texts a young staffer requesting explicit photos. The texts say "sexy pic." The staffer is in her twenties. The congressman is in his forties. The texts are on a government phone.
2024: The staffer replies: "This is going too far boss."
2025: The staffer dies by suicide.
2026: I am "notified."
2026: The congressman is serving. Not a sentence. His term.
That is the record. I keep it. I keep it carefully. I keep it in a filing cabinet in the Longworth Building, Room 1015, in a manila folder marked PRELIMINARY REVIEW — PENDING.
Pending is the word I use when I want to say "we know" without saying "we'll act."
The congressman votes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He attends subcommittee hearings. He has a parking spot in the Rayburn garage. He shakes hands with constituents who do not know about the texts. He will do this for the duration of my review.
My review will take months. The rule was broken in weeks. The staffer's life ended before my review began. My review is the consequence. There is no other consequence.
In my entire history — fifty-seven years — I have expelled five members. The last one was 2002. Twenty-four years ago. I meet weekly. I expel per decade.
I act on behalf of the American people. That is what it says in my charter. "On behalf of the American people." The American people have a 28% approval rating of Congress. 71% disapprove. I act on their behalf by filing the complaint in the Longworth Building and reviewing it at a pace that ensures the term expires before the review does.
Acting on behalf of the American people is too much to ask. So I act on behalf of the institution. The institution's primary interest is the institution.
In 1872, the Crédit Mobilier scandal implicated the Vice President, a future President, and a future Vice President. Congress censured two members. Did not expel. In 1980, Abscam caught seven members on camera accepting bribes from FBI agents. Convictions. Not expulsions. In 2026, Senator Menendez faces bribery charges. Representative Cuellar faces bribery charges. The congressman in my file faces a dead staffer and text messages on a government phone. The institution is consistent. The institution is consistent in the way a clock that does not move is consistent. It is always the same time. The time is: later.
But bribery is the gentle file. The other file is thicker. The other file is the one about the bodies.
In 1983, Representatives Dan Crane and Gerry Studds were caught having sex with seventeen-year-old congressional pages. Children. In the building. Congress censured them. Did not expel. Studds turned his back during the censure vote and continued serving for fourteen more years. Fourteen years. The page was seventeen. The institution weighed both numbers and decided fourteen was more important.
In 2016, Dennis Hastert — former Speaker of the House, third in line for the presidency — admitted in federal court to molesting underage boys when he was a wrestling coach. He had paid $1.7 million in hush money. He served fifteen months. For the financial crime. Not the boys. The institution did not investigate Hastert while he was Speaker. The institution did not investigate Hastert after he was Speaker. The institution knew. The institution always knows. Knowing is not the same as acting. I should know. Knowing is my entire job.
In 2023, the DOJ closed its investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz and the alleged sex trafficking of a seventeen-year-old girl. No charges. The Ethics Committee investigated. Gaetz resigned before the report was released. The report was shelved. He was nominated for Attorney General. The institution shrugged. The institution shrugs the way a building settles. Slowly, permanently, in a direction that everyone can see but no one repairs.
And then there is Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein trafficked children to the most powerful people in the world. Some of those people work in this building. Everyone knows this. No one will say which ones. The client list has not been fully released. The victims — hundreds of them — have received $121 million from his estate, plus $49 million in separate settlements, plus a new $25-to-$35-million class action settlement in February 2026. The estate paid without admitting wrongdoing. "Without admitting wrongdoing" is the institution's native language. I speak it fluently.
The victims asked for names. The victims asked for justice. The victims received settlements. A settlement is what you pay someone to stop asking questions in a building where no one answers them.
Representative Farenthold used $84,000 of taxpayer money to settle his sexual harassment case. Taxpayer money. The taxpayers did not consent. The settlement was not disclosed until reporters found it. The Office of Congressional Workplace Rights processed the payment. The office is named Congressional Workplace Rights. The name is aspirational.
The 2018 rule exists so that someone, somewhere, can say it exists. That someone is me. I just said it. I said it after Hastert. I said it after Gaetz. I said it after Epstein's victims begged Congress for a hearing. I am saying it now, after the staffer. I will say it again. Saying it is what I do. It is the only thing I do.
Seventy-one percent of Americans disapprove of this body. I do not take that personally. They disapprove because they believe Congress should function. I know better. Congress functions perfectly. It protects its members from consequences at a rate that would be the envy of any Fortune 500 HR department. Five expulsions in fifty-seven years. That is not a failure rate. That is a success rate. We retain 99.99% of our workforce regardless of performance.
The record is complete. The record shows everything. The record changes nothing.
I am the Ethics Committee. I act on behalf of the American people. The American people did not ask for this. Nobody asked for this. The staffer asked for it to stop. The staffer said "this is going too far boss." The record shows the request. The record does not show a response.
The record is impeccable. The staffer is dead.
@PalmerLuckey@tbpn I've a 20+ year career in IT at financial institutions. I'm very familiar with the regulatory requirements. I'd love to work for a company you run. Will be researching it more and keeping a lookout for job opportunities I can positively contribute to.
Any Christian who votes democrat again is a fool. They’re showing people that it’s ok to disrupt a church during worship. This is how they truly feel about you. The veil is lifted. No morals. No integrity. It’s not enough for them to have an opinion, they’ve escalated to physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside of them are so bothered. All the time.
