By Tom Knighton A little over a month ago, I wrote about my changing views on revolvers and, I suppose you guys liked it well enough. The truth is that while I still trust semi-autos more for self-defense, I don't distrust revolvers in the least, and there's a certain cool factor. Plus, I don't have to worry about springs wearing out , either in the magazine or in the pistol itself. That means more revolvers for Good Old Tom. And Ruger is one of those companies I was looking to for my new passion for wheel guns. Talk about rotten timing. The announcement by Ruger that it was suspending production of certain popular models including the legendary Blackhawk and Redhawk revolvers, and the iconic No. 1 single-shot rifle has ignited a wave of speculation, some misinformation, lots of hand-wringing and no small amount of unjustified doom-and-gloom. TGM reached out to Ruger and learned, “To clarify, we are suspending production of certain products and completing final produc...

By Ben Smith Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) apparently has a message for young Americans considering a job in President Donald Trump's administration: Think about what prosecutors might do to you later. Slotkin, who has repeatedly accused Trump of weaponizing the federal government against political opponents, now wants young conservatives thinking about the consequences of working for him. She even has a name for it. A "deterrence message." The senator was at the University of Chicago on October 13 for a live recording of Vox's "America, Actually" podcast. Her conversation with editorial director Astead Herndon included Democratic plans for dealing with Trump and officials serving under him. A 26-second excerpt circulated Saturday. Slotkin was discussing future criminal cases when she brought up college graduates considering government work. ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican lea...

By Victoria Taft When the shots rang out at Silver Rail Elementary in the Central Oregon town of Bend, the 6'0" tall 16-year-old, for some reason, went back to the special ed classroom where he spent time as a student and blasted children and a teacher with a shotgun. He killed four and shot a sweet girl in the face who was confined to a wheelchair. She's still fighting for her life in a Bend hospital — along with others.  A father of two students, who had no idea if his own babies were alive or dead, followed that sick person into the school and ended him. That's a good thing. As tragic as this is, I'm glad that sick dog is out of the gene pool.  Save your outrage. I don't want to hear it.  By the way, is that Tennessee chick on death row dead yet? What's the hold up? Tick-tock.  That's not the question we allude to in the headline, however.  As Kaylub Giamanco followed the gunman , or as ABC News calls him, a "boy" — a  6-foot "boy...

By Ben Smith Multiple people were killed and injured Saturday after an explosion at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta sparked a major fire, prompting an emergency response involving military personnel, police, firefighters, and hospitals across the province. BREAKING: “Significant casualties,” including deaths, after explosion at Canadian military base in Wainwright, Alberta, officials say https://t.co/LiCooZYWmx — BNO News Live (@BNODesk) October 18, 2026 Canadian Defence Minister David McGuinty confirmed the fatalities Saturday evening but declined to provide a casualty count or explain what caused the incident. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is investigating. The RCMP received reports of a fire in the base's military training area shortly after 4 PM local time.

By Bob Hoge Leftists say the craziest things, especially when Donald Trump is president. We’ve seen them celebrate accused cold-blooded killer Luigi Mangione, and we’ve seen them lionize Lindsay Clancy , the mother who does not deny that she sent her husband off on an errand and then ritually murdered their three children. New Jersey’s Dem Governor, Mikie Sherrill, just came up with a new moronic example of “ suicidal empathy .” She’s very sad that Nidal Hasan, the terrorist who gunned down 13 innocent lives and wounded 30 more in 2009, is scheduled to be executed in early December. The reason: He’s in a wheelchair. I’m not sure what that has to do with his mass murder terror attack — which the Obama Administration ludicrously originally deemed “workplace violence” — or why it would elude any sympathy from us.  You see, he’s in a wheelchair because police shot him during his depraved slaughter spree and prevented him from killing more people. This is a twisted take even for ...

By Rick Moran Donald Trump wants to end the war in Iran. Iran isn't letting him. The Iranians are letting the Democrats and the media do their work for them in undermining support for ending the war on terms the U.S. can live with, and they see no reason to make a deal as long as they have a chance to get everything they want. That includes something that the Democrats also want. A U.S. humiliation. Politically, that's the jackpot for Democrats. It would castrate Trump and the Republicans, undermine the last two years of the Trump presidency, and bring immense satisfaction to the Democratic base. Trump said on October 8 that he would refrain from striking Iran until after the midterms. Iran took that as an invitation and has escalated its proxy war, unleashing the Houthi rebels to attack Saudi Arabia and sinking container ships in the Gulf. "Tehran is reportedly strengthening its defenses around sensitive energy and nuclear sites in preparation for a potential resumpt...

By Kyle Becker Every so often the activist media does conservatives a massive solid by publishing a story so brazen about the Left's craven objectives that the appropriate response isn't outrage. It's gratitude. It doesn't take the skills of a master prognosticator ala the Amazing Kreskin to know exactly where the socialist Left has been heading with its state-sponsored foreign invasion.  If you love your country, you don't flood it with tens of millions of foreigners, including those whose religion is anathema to everything the "progressive" agenda claims to stand for. It is also extremely funny that the Left purports to be the guardians of "democracy" while undermining every conceivable way of holding free, fair, and legitimate elections. So, when the LA Times ventured into the arena of political battle known as "X," armed only with a linked post that reveals the actual reason Democrats loathe ICE raids, let's just say people ...
