The other day, I pumped about half a tank of gas into my old muscle car, which cost me about twice as much as it did when I bought the car back in 1994. Back then, the cost of a gallon of gas was about $1.10 – and back then, I was a young guy without a lot of money to spend on gas, but I could still afford to regularly fill up the old muscle car’s tank because it only cost me about $20 to do that, back then…

Higher yields mean higher borrowing costs and even bigger deficits for the US government. All eyes have been on foreign investors to see if they start losing their appetite. And some have – especially China and Hong Kong – but others have piled into it…

Varmint round turns NATO rifles into drone killers

The Drone Round turns a standard NATO infantry rifle into an anti-drone weapon

by David Szondy

With a simple switch of a magazine, the Drone Round is claimed to turn a standard NATO caliber small arm into a drone-killing weapon that combines the scattershot of a shotgun with the speed, power and rapid fire of an infantry assault rifle.

In shooting circles, there are what are called “varmint rounds.” These are specialized cartridges intended for shooting small, non-game animals that are essentially pests, including prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, foxes and rabbits, that are either a threat to agriculture or wildlife management, or are potentially dangerous. Most of these are small, high-velocity rounds with high lethality and low ricochet risk…

The Art of Liberty Foundation is proud to help promote and distribute a story they didn’t want told: The COVID Code: My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult by Zowe Smith.
