    Executive Order 14067 This is not what you might think. Look Closely Our Justice System Is At Serious Risk Every citizen of every country should be afraid for the future of their country when criminal illegal aliens are allowed, and encouraged, to vote in our elections. The first item listed on state and federal election rules about voting states that you must be a citizen. Pretty clear isn't it. Then why are federal judges interfering and allowing non-citizens to vote? Good question but the... Full story

  • Independence Day 2024

    Jim Allen, Publisher|Jul 1, 2024

    Intelligence allows you to learn from your mistakes. Wisdom allows you to learn from other peoples mistakes. Wisdom generally only comes with age. In the 70's I made one of the largest mistakes I have ever made in judging a political figure. Because I had unknowingly listened to some bad information I made a judgment about a key political figure. Over the years when the subject came up I stuck to my opinion, wrong though it was. Many years later I took the time to listen to someone whose... Full story

  • Voting

    Jim Allen, Publisher|Jun 1, 2024

    I keep receiving unsolicited information telling me about letting illegals vote. Has this country and "We The People" really become this jaded by our politicians that we will even consider letting this happen? There are so many things wrong with this concept that it is hard to find a starting point. Our Job is not to convince those who "don't know" to change their minds. Our job is to convince those who "do know" to work harder to save our country, and all of the country's that rely on us, to... Full story

  • What are They Going to Do?

    WOOT, Western Outdoor Other Times|Apr 1, 2024

    We thought they were coming in just to help balance the voting. Wonder still why all those young (military age) men without children or wives are taking on the task of traveling all those miles posing as refugees . But don't worry. All they want to do is ruin your way of life and/or kill you. Just for fun, let's do the math: 52 tons of guns & ammo. Let's just say that 10 tons or 20,000 pounds is ammo. That leaves 42 tons or 84,000 pounds of automatic weapons. Let's guess that an automatic... Full story

  • 'Roger That'

    WOOT, Western Outdoor Other Times|Mar 1, 2024

    The term "Roger that" is a widespread term for confirmation, either between truckers on their CB radios, kids playing back and forth with walkie-talkies, or even face to face. But it's easy to adopt the phrase and understand what it means without ever really knowing where it came from. So here's a (very) brief history for your edification. "Roger" comes from the phonetic alphabet used by military and aviation personnel during WWII, when the use of two-way radios became a main form of... Full story

  • The Night Watchman . . . And The Department of Energy

    WOOT, Western Outdoor Other Times|Mar 1, 2024

    Like someone once said, "you just can't make this idiocy up". Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "... Full story

    Publisher's Note - Reading this from Bill O'Reilly reminded me of how often I have felt frustrated because as he says below "millions of Americans simply don't care". How can they not care when the world is losing the best chance it has ever had to improve? Difficult Times By: Bill O'Reilly January 30, 2024 As the presidential election of 2024 begins to unfold, America finds itself in a bad place. Yes, political leadership is dubious, but it is a profound lack of trust that is truly eroding the... Full story

  • I Once Was A Normal Person

    WOOT|Nov 1, 2023

    This was sent to us by one of our readers. I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist and responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself. I went to school for 19 years and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but... Full story

  • All Of The Services Have Nicknames

    Tom Cole Marine Retired, Western Outdoor Times Special Features Writer|Nov 1, 2023

    All of the services have nicknames for the other services and their members. It’s all part of the well-intentioned harassment we provide each other free of charge. For example, Navy personnel are referred to as ”squids”, “ducks” or “Marine chauffeurs”. Army as just mostly “grunts boys”. Air Force as “airdales” or “bus drivers”. Space force As “space cadets”. Marines as “soldiers of the sea”, “leathernecks”, “jarheads” and “Devil Dogs”. But, where do these come from? NAVY: Squids & Ducks are ass... Full story
