Never-Lies Walz

Just like George Washington, Tim Walz cannot tell a lie; he just misspeaks.

New for 2024, Buck Commander and Barnett® have combined forces to bring a one-of-a-kind crossbow for hunters looking to tag their next trophy this season! The Hyper Raptor BCX™ sets the industry standard in crossbow technology, blending premium features, cutting-edge innovation, and top-tier technology to deliver the smoothest, fastest, and most user-friendly shooting experience available! Rooted in over 60 years of unwavering commitment to quality, dependability, precision, and safety, Barnett stands as the original pioneer in the modern-day crossbow, earning the trust of hunters worldwide. Buck Commander and Barnett combine everything hunters need in the hard-hitting, lightweight Hyper Raptor BCX.

Superior accuracy for the lifetime of the crossbow was at the forefront of the design. The Hyper Raptor BCX uses self-timing infinity cams, a hunter-friendly feature that improves consistency and accuracy. Pivoting limb pockets boost durability, and the innovative Halo System guarantees balanced string travel for even better precision. Adding a light, crisp, premium TriggerTech™ trigger improves the shooting experience while providing critical anti-dry fire technology — and an extra layer of safety!

Barnett uses advanced materials in the new Hyper Raptor BCX, keeping its weight at 6.9 lbs. Hunters will love the compact profile in the blind or on a stand. It measures 32.5-in. overall and is only 7.25-in. wide from axle to axle when cocked. An adjustable buttstock allows further length of pull customization. Read more

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year.

The cases involve two sets of plaintiffs. A legal action in the Southern District in San Diego involves SAF, B&L Productions/Crossroads of the West, Barry Bardack, Ronald J. Diaz, Sr., John Dupree, Christopher Irick, Robert Solis, Lawrence Michael Walsh, Captain Jon’s Lockers, L.A.X. Firing Range/LAX Ammo, California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA), and South Bay Rod and Gun Club.

In the Central California case, SAF is joined by B&L Productions/Crossroads of the West, Gerald Clark, Eric Johnson, Chad Littrell, Jan Steven Merson, CRPA, the Asian Pacific American Gun Owners Association and the Second Amendment Law Center. They are represented by attorneys C.D. Michel, Anna M. Barvir and Tiffany D. Cheuvront at Michel & Associates in Long Beach, and Donald Kilmer at Kilmer Law Offices in Caldwell, Idaho.

The emergency application was submitted to Associate Justice Elena Kagan. The goal is to have an order by the Ninth Circuit’s three-judge panel allowing the gun show ban to be enforced to be recalled, and in its place to have a stay granted, pending a request for certiorari to the high court.

The desire for power and control has changed Chuck Shumer’s stance on illegal immigrants.

Today, the chameleon says this: SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: Now more than ever we’re short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants — the DREAMers and all of them — because our ultimate goal is to help the DREAMers — but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented, there are here.

Why the flip-flop?  Answer:  Power.

Joe Biden waves to a friendly on his current “vacation.”  He may as well stay there, where his inaction is better than selling out America…Glen Wunderlich

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed Reese’s Law (P.L. 117-171), which directed the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to adopt increased warning and product safety standards for products containing button cell and coin batteries, due to potential ingestion hazards for children. The law also included requirements regarding the packaging of button cell or coin batteries not sold already installed in consumer products. Read more

Heavy Duty Motor Treatment by Motorkote

What follows is an unsolicited and unpaid testimonial about this product that I was so excited about, I had to share it.

My old GMC Sierra, 2003 vintage with 242,000 miles on it really runs well and has been well maintained.  However, for the past month or so, the check engine light was trying to tell me something.  So, after ignoring it for too long, I stopped into a NAPA store and found a volunteer to run a test with a code reader.  The cordial staff member said there was a fuel issue but he couldn’t pinpoint the malfunction based on the data provided.

He mentioned a few parts that could be the culprit, but I didn’t want to start replacing things.  I also didn’t want to pay the shop fee at a local auto repair facility, being the innate cheap guy I am.  Since one of his suspicions had to do with the injectors, I asked him if I put some fuel treatment in the tank, would there be a chance to correct the issue and he said it could.

Since I’ve been a fan of Motorkote products – especially the Hyper Lubricant for oil – I recalled that I had some of the Motor Treatment in stock back home.  When I got home, I poured the entire bottle into the gasoline tank and hoped for the best.  It’s been about a week since the treatment and I’m a believer!  The dang light went off today and only a half tank of fuel was consumed since the experiment began.

This is one product I’ll keep in stock now!
