It’s important to remember that the voting upset experienced on November 8th really isn’t about a “mandate” being given to Donald Trump or even about supporting him as a candidate. The bottom line is that the upset was about “status quo” versus “cleaning house”, the establishment versus the outside. Sending an outsider to Washington has often been crudely compared to sending a young tender virgin to clean up a whorehouse. We should be praying that Trump can follow through with cleaning up the cesspool. – HJL o o o Along those lines comes this article from Tyler Durden at Zero …

Video: Hicock45 test shoots, describes and field strips the TNW Aero Survival Rifle. This is a straight-blowback AR variant that uses Glock magazines. It is available chambered in .45 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10MM, and .357 SIG. Though I’m not a fan of pistol caliber carbines, the TNW looks quite well machined and finished. However, as you can see from the video, the ergonomics of the undersize grip are so-so, and the feeding reliability appears to be highly dependent on having fully-seated magazines. – JWR o o o New social media tools empower citizen journalism.
