If you’ve already been lucky enough to put a few hundred rounds through your new $0 tax suppressor, you might be wondering how you’re supposed to clean it. Just like many other firearm components, suppressors are subjected to a significant amount of fouling in the form of unburnt powder, carbon, as well as lead and copper residue. While they don’t need to be cleaned quite as often as some of your more sensitive firearm parts, suppressors still need regular maintenance. When it comes to fully welded or non-user-serviceable suppressors, one historically infamous yet cheap way to clean them was known…
This much we know: at least 154 women have earned the vaunted black-and-gold Ranger tab, according to U.S. Army data from early 2025. Ranger School is designed to push soldiers to their limits. It demands peak performance while sleep deprived and hungry. A swim test conducted in full uniform. A five-mile run in no more than 40 minutes. A 12-mile foot march lugging a 35-pound rucksack. And that’s just the preliminary phase. For much of its history, it stood as the Army’s most grueling test of physical and mental prowess — reserved exclusively for men. That changed in 2015 when…

Just hours after a man was shot in the leg by federal law enforcement, United States ruler Donald Trump threatened to use the military in Minnesota to quell protests. Trump said he could invoke the “Insurrection Act” over widespread demonstrations after federal agents shot and wounded a man, and in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of a protester by an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent last week. “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job,…
Across a growing number of large cities and blue-state jurisdictions, local and state leadership has made a clear policy choice: not to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and, in some cases, to actively resist it. This isn’t happening quietly. It’s happening through public statements, formal directives, and increasingly, open warnings. Philadelphia’s sheriff publicly criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and stated that ICE agents who commit crimes in Philadelphia would face arrest and prosecution, a statement she delivered during a press event following a fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.1 Philadelphia’s sheriff publicly warning ICE agents that they could be arrested…
