Although I must say that, as mouthwash goes, it leaves a bit to be desired. Ever since DOGE began unveiling (and stopping) the unimaginable fraud and waste of USAID–the taxpayer-funded “soft power” department whose funding was essentially used as the Democratic National Convention’s slush fund–we’ve had revelations that are both enraging and hilarious. Today, the…
We here at Freedom’s Lodge join the NRA in our unapologetic pro-law enforcement stance, BUT: Our nation’s law enforcement agencies are designed and staffed by human beings. Human beings have some problems that we simply can’t escape. For example, we’re bound by the space/time continuum and cannot be in two places at once. If the…
Maybe he needs to learn about gun rights with a little range session with Adam Kinzinger? Just a thought. I’ve often wondered what it would take to convince an anti-gun Senator that Due Process is, in fact, important. That Americans are born with certain rights delineated and protected by the Constitution, and that you can’t…
There’s nothing wrong with his product, he says. He just doesn’t want it forced on anyone. And in saying so, Kai Kloepfer, Founder and CEO of Biofire stands as another example of the world starting to make sense again. Capitalism thrives on competition, and so does freedom. The problem is that from the moment the first vaporware…
Yes, we know this means the gun-grabbing Feds will go buy it on the street. Preferably with dirty needles. One of the many outrages perpetrated against the American taxpayer over the last several years has been the weaponization of the Centers for Disease Control against gun owners and gun ownership. Yes, the same people who…
The right to sue for redress of grievances is baked into the Constitution … but it doesn’t say who has to pay the lawyers. Once again, an activist judge in a deep-blue state is permitting yet another baseless and actually illegal lawsuit. This time, it’s Judge L. Ortiz of Lake County, Illinois, and the illegal…
It’s been a hell of an interesting week in The Swamp … Yesterday, in a decision that many Second Amendment activists found shocking and disappointing, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an ATF rule that treated unfinished frames and receivers and do-it-yourself-gunmaking kits as if they were complete, functioning firearms. If you’d like to read the…
Consider the Tesla owner’s dilemma: He’s gone from Virtuous Carbon-Neutral Energy Angel to Musk Demon overnight. The problem with virtue signaling is that, sometimes, the noise outstrips the signal. That’s especially true if you’re a Leftist, because what is and is not considered okay in those circles can change by the hour. It’s one thing…
Consider, for a moment, the dilemma faced by your average gun-banner. Let’s call him “Derp.” After having struggled through the perils of getting his shoes on the correct feet, breakfast into the inside of his mouth, and getting most of his buttons into their assigned holes, Derp now has to figure out how to push…
Welcome back to America, where your vote counts and the government serves you! It’s a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? But the facts remain that, at this time, several states across the nation are still actively infringing on their residents’ Second Amendment rights. The firearm you’re legally carrying in Pennsylvania can still get you sent to…
Everybody panic! It’s a pandemic! (But they just want “two weeks to flatten the curve.”) The last five years have been deeply corrosive to our nation in so many ways, but chief among them has to be the way in which our trust in the nation’s doctors (and the federal institutions like the Centers for…
Dear Trump Administration Justice Department: Weed like a word with you. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: How does it make any sense that the federal government still prohibits a substance that is legal in 47 states? How does it make any sense that the same prohibition means that citizens who do…
