Detailing a 1954 Ford NAA Tractor

Glen’s 1954 Ford NAA

With the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Show a scant month away, it’s time to refresh it a bit.  The sheet metal is perfect from our 1995 restoration; however, to make it sparkle in the sunshine, I’ll be repainting the red portion of the vintage machine.  Below is a photo of the late Mike Browder lettering one of the fenders back in the day.  Sure miss the ol’ boy, but he’ll be with me at the show in August.

“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Government Keeps Growing and Seniors Keep Losing

By Glen Wunderlich

The government workforce has grown at a steady pace over the years

Ever wonder why the liberal Democrats never mention this factor in their highly touted overall job growth statistics?  It’s to deceive Americans about the health of the economy.

Also, when they spout off about higher wages, it’s because employers are attempting to keep employees happy versus the ever-increasing inflation.  And, just where does this leave senior citizens?  Losing the value of their savings, as the dollar is devalued.  Cost of living increases in Social Security are paltry compared to the cost of goods and services.

As of April 2024, there were 23.3 million people on government payrolls, which made up 14.7% of the total payrolls in the economy. Local governments employed close to 64% of these people, followed by state governments (23.4%) and the federal government (12.9%). Since the beginning of the new millennium, the government workforce has been increasing steadily—13.3% over the years. This rate of increase may be lower than the corresponding growth in the overall private sector (22.5%), but it is still higher than the growth in key sectors like wholesale trade, retail trade, and manufacturing (where payrolls have decreased).

Supreme Court Overturns Chevron, Which Emboldened Agencies Like ATF for Decades

Friday, in a case backed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the expansive doctrine of Chevron Deference, which was established by the Court four decades prior. Under this precedent, federal agencies were given deference by the courts when their rules interpreted vague or ambiguous statutory language from Congress. GOA and GOF led a large coalition in filing an amicus brief in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo.

Under the new precedent established today, it shall be solely the role of the courts to resolve questions related to agency interpretation of law. As Chief Justice Roberts explained in his opinion for the Court, “agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do.”

In the amicus brief, GOA and GOF argued that Chevron was unconstitutional because it vested legislative and judicial power within Executive Branch agencies. In turn these powers, which were designed to be held by separate, branches of government, are often combined together, handed to bureaucrats, and used to strip Americans of their freedoms. Much of today’s ruling agreed with this argument. Read more

Nightstick Now Shipping New LGL-160-T High Candela Long Gun Light Kit

Nightstick, a global manufacturer of professional tactical LED lighting products, is proud to announce that our high candela model of the LGL-160, the LGL-160-T long gun light kit, is now shipping.

The LGL-160-T Turbo Long Gun Light Kit adds long-distance target discrimination to your rifle, carbine, or shotgun. Made of 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized black, it produces 100,000 candela and 800 lumens with a 2-hour runtime. Designed around a new high-intensity parabolic reflector, the tightly focused beam has a 632-meter beam distance.

The light comes installed with a standard tail cap switch and a reversible thumbscrew Picatinny mount. It can be mounted with the included offset Picatinny mount, providing flexible options to clear front sights and other mounted equipment while allowing easy support-hand activation. Both the tail cap switch and the included 6-inch remote pressure pad/switch feature momentary or constant-on modes. The kit also includes an RPS Picatinny rail mount and a Nightstick-exclusive wire management rail clamp to prevent cable snags. It comes with two CR123 batteries but can be upgraded to lithium-ion rechargeable batteries with the optional 18650-KIT.

“Following the success of our LGL-160 long gun light and feedback from law enforcement agencies and customers who are always looking for additional lighting options, our engineering team took on the design challenge and delivered,” says Garret Eason, Nightstick Marketing Manager for Law Enforcement and Sporting Goods. “The LGL-160-T’s unique reflectors maximize light intensity for a higher intensity focal point along the center axis, increasing beam distance while maintaining a bright splash area. This uncompromising design gives the operator threat identification and confirmation peace of mind, when life depends on light.”

CCRKBA: U.S. Violent Crime Drops as Gun Ownership Climbs

U.S. VIOLENT CRIME DROPS AS GUN OWNERSHIP CLIMBS, NOTES CCRKBA

BELLEVUE, WA – New FBI data for the first quarter of 2024 shows violent crime dropped by more than 15 percent from the same period last year, at a time when U.S. gun ownership has continued to rise, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says this is more evidence widespread gun ownership is not the cause of crime.

“More guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens is probably a deterrent,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Recent data shows a 6.7 percent increase in gun ownership between 2017 and 2023, and during that period, gun ownership among women went up 13.6 percent.”

According to an FBI announcement, “A comparison of data from agencies that voluntarily submitted at least two or more common months of data for January through March 2023 and 2024 indicates reported violent crime decreased by 15.2 percent. Murder decreased by 26.4 percent, rape decreased by 25.7 percent, robbery decreased by 17.8 percent, and aggravated assault decreased by 12.5 percent. Reported property crime also decreased by 15.1 percent.” Read more
