I know there is a lot of deserved interest in the Ridgeback Defense Rhodie 6 and Rhodie 6K and since I happened to shoot both on the same platform in the past couple days I thought I would post videos.

Some personal thoughts, for most people, if you are going to buy 1, the Rhodie 6 is the can for you. It shoots extremely flat, while it appears gassy, it didn’t actually get back into the shooters face at all. Also, the tone of it is fantastic, it has a very lone resonance, which in my 20+ years working with silencers is where you want to be for max signature disruption when outdoors.
The 6K shot fantastic, almost identical from a control standpoint even though it was an inch shorter. It is quite a bit gassier, which is to be expected, and it would benefit from a fully tuned gun, vs the base gun used for making the videos. In my opinion it seems like it’s perfect if you are trying to do a CQB set up and keep everything as short as possible or on a 16+ inch rifle with a much longer gas system.

For reference the base gun is a post sample MG, standard carbine buffer, Jp enterprise heavy silent buffer spring, Gibz non-reciprocating side charging upper, 12.5” centurion arms barrel with a carbine length gas system and fixed gas block. Both silencers would have run much better with a tuned gas system and an A5 buffer tube system, but I was still quite impressed given the base gun.

In case anyone is interested, I am a Ridgeback Defense dealer, current wait time is 10 weeks and I don’t think it’s going to get any shorter, prob just going to get extended the longer you wait, if you have any questions or are interested DM me.

Short video is with the 6, longer video is the 6k. Hopefully everyone enjoys.

🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL

Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service.

H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans.

One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements."

Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now.

The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings."

The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it.

And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for.

We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload.

Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it.

But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls.

Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61?

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has unveiled a plan to import 2.25 million migrants over the next 3 years.

The government will also introduce a special initiative allowing up to 200,000 people already living in Canada to transition to permanent residency, including 100,000 workers and their families and 100,000 people under humanitarian and other immigration pathways.

The country has allocated a total of $510.7 million CAD toward implementing its immigration plan.

The announcement comes as Canada faces continuing concerns about housing affordability, pressure on public services and the economic impact of immigration.

What about Free Constantinople

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

All the “Free Palestine” graffiti in the West is now facing competition by “Free Cyprus”

More and more Free Cyprus messages have been appearing on walls in cities across Europe in recent weeks.

This most recent example is from Munich, Germany

[FUNKER530 @funkeractual]

The Nigerian military has unveiled their new “combat tricycle.” The key features are a 250cc engine which can barely handle 2 men and a gun, plus a completely unprotected drivers seat for maximum fatality rates.

[Trevor Zantos @usgeneral25]

@IngrahamAngle @SecMullinDHS that's not nearly good enough

[Trevor Zantos @usgeneral25]

@TimOnPoint that doesn't address the millions of illegals that were already here

REPORTE DE INTELIGENCIA | SITUACIÓN OPERATIVA EN HAITÍ
CLASIFICACIÓN: INFORMACIÓN DE FUENTES EN EL TERRENO / ACTUALIZACIÓN DE SITUACIÓN
Nuestros canales de inteligencia en Puerto Príncipe confirman un avance sostenido de la ofensiva conjunta entre las fuerzas salvadoreñas, la Policía Nacional de Haití (PNH) y unidades tácticas desplegadas en puntos estratégicos.
Puntos clave recibidos hasta el momento:
• Desarticulación de 400 Mawozo: Se confirma que el cuartel general de Lanmò 100 Jou en Croix-des-Bouquets quedó operativamente inhabilitado tras ataques quirúrgicos. Nuestras fuentes reportan la huida desorganizada de sus integrantes hacia las alturas de Morne Cabrit y zonas periféricas como Monazo, abandonando posiciones históricas.
• Segundo golpe aéreo en Alligatoire: Tras la difusión de nuevos registros aéreos, se verifica la destrucción de otro punto de mando tras un ataque que provocó la estampida de los cabecillas en el sector. Se reportan operaciones de reconocimiento aéreo con aeronaves de baja firma acústica en la zona.
• Cerco en La Plaine y precisión táctica: Las tropas salvadoreñas mantienen el dominio aéreo y terrestre en La Plaine cerrando el cerco sobre estructuras de 400 Mawozo, Chen Mechan y la red de Jeff. Fuentes en el terreno destacan la estricta disciplina de tiro de los efectivos salvadoreños, evitando bajas entre civiles desarmados a pesar de que las bandas intentan utilizar a la población como escudo humano.
• Avance terrestre hacia el sur (Martissant - Gressier): Unidades blindadas y maquinaria pesada de la PNH, apoyadas por drones explosivos, continúan despejando barricadas y retomando el control de las arterias viales desde Martissant hasta Gressier para cortar las rutas de abastecimiento.
• Alerta por guerra de desinformación: Se detecta una campaña activa en redes sociales difundiendo audios antiguos (de conflictos pasados como el caso Apaid) y videos manipulados con Inteligencia Artificial sobre los bombardeos, buscando confundir a la opinión pública y ocultar el debilitamiento real de las bandas.
Mantenemos el monitoreo activo sobre las rutas de escape hacia la frontera y el desarrollo de las operaciones en curso.
