Before You Mock the 6.5 Creedmoor, Learn What “Creedmoor” Means

by

The 6.5 Creedmoor has been around for 19 years, and apparently that still hasn’t been enough time for some gun enthusiasts to learn what the word Creedmoor actually means.

Before you utter “6.5 Man Bun” again, try Google.

Creedmoor was the legendary Long Island rifle range where America faced Ireland in the great 1874 international long-range rifle match, firing at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. More than a century later, Dennis DeMille—a Marine competitive shooter and High Power champion—suggested Creedmoor as the name for Hornady’s new long-range match cartridge specifically to honor that American competitive-shooting heritage. Hornady introduced it in 2007 as a target/match cartridge.

So after 19 years, if your entire knowledge of the 6.5 Creedmoor still consists of “LOL, man bun!”, the problem probably isn’t the cartridge.

Learn some American rifle history. Then hit the range. The broad side of that barn isn’t going to shoot itself.

Muslims and Their Silent Invasion of America and Europe

by

Americans have short memories. Very short.

It’s only been 25 years since Muslim terrorists launched the deadliest attack on American soil in 250 years, yet many Americans (especially Muslim-Americans) seem oblivious to that event and instead are eager to denigrate our nation as a toxic cauldron of white supremacy and Islamophobia.

Meanwhile, they push for Sharia Law and encourage women to wear the Hijab, Chador, Khimar, Niqab, etc. That tells me that those Muslims believe women should not be free to dress as they wish, and that clearly contradicts American culture and values.

The Coldest Paradise in Recreational Scuba

by

There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.

The Day Evil Came To America—And The Courage That Answered It

by

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, America faces a dangerous temptation: forgetting (NYC Mayor, anybody?). Time softens memories, new generations inherit stories instead of scars, and political divisions crowd out shared history. Yet the lessons of 9/11 remain essential because they remind us that freedom carries costs, courage deserves honor, and national unity is possible even during unimaginable tragedy.

25 Years Later, and We Still Don’t Know the Whole Truth About 9/11

by

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Americans still have questions—and apparently asking them remains more dangerous to polite society than leaving them unanswered. We know intelligence agencies had information about future hijackers, critical information wasn’t effectively shared, early accounts of the military response proved inaccurate, Saudi-connected individuals assisted two hijackers, and Building 7 became the first known tall building to completely collapse primarily from uncontrolled ordinary-content fires. None of that proves an inside job. It proves something much simpler: “trust us” isn’t an acceptable substitute for history. Open the remaining files, follow the evidence wherever it leads, destroy the stupid conspiracy theories with facts—and answer the legitimate questions. After 25 years, Americans have earned something better than a press release.

Thirteen Years: What Charlie Kirk Did With the Time He Was Given

by

Charlie Kirk had thirteen adult years between founding Turning Point USA at 18 and his death at 31. Thirteen years to build something that would outlive him. But perhaps his most important message wasn’t ultimately political—it was pointing young people toward faith, family, purpose, and Christ.

The next generation will be discipled. The question is who will disciple them.

As we approach the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, perhaps the best way to honor his legacy isn’t simply to remember him. It’s to continue the mission.

Our clocks are still running. Don’t waste them.

Michigan Adds Another Felony Because You Used an iPhone

by

I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.

The FOBbit: How the Army Turns Warriors Into PowerPoint-Slinging Indoor Cats

by

The Army has a remarkable ability to take a perfectly functional warrior, promote him a few times, hand him three computer monitors, and turn him into a PowerPoint-slinging indoor cat. Thus begins the evolution of the FOBbit: that mysterious creature who once went outside the wire but now survives on RFIs, synchronization meetings, Green Beans coffee, and Baskin-Robbins. The real horror comes when you finally look down at your ice cream, look at your clean uniform, hit “Send” on another 1600 suspense, and realize the terrible truth: Oh, $h!tt! I’m the FOBbit.

I Don’t Believe in Miracles, Says the Miracle

by

Modern man says he doesn’t believe in miracles while standing on a wet rock hurtling through space, made of stardust, possessing consciousness nobody can fully explain, pondering a universe nobody can explain why exists. God? Ridiculous. Ancient aliens? Now you have his attention. Maybe we didn’t stop believing—we just changed the vocabulary and became selectively skeptical about which mysteries are socially acceptable. Watch for AFNN next week as we ask the uncomfortable question: “I Don’t Believe in Miracles,” Says the Miracle.

The Sword of Sharia: The Christian Test Under Sharia Law

by

Paying an unfair tax is one thing. Wearing clothes you wouldn’t otherwise wear is another. But what happens when government finally asks the question Christians have faced since Rome: Will you obey us when obeying us means disobeying Christ? That’s where Romans 13 meets Acts 5:29—and Christianity stops being a bumper sticker.

When Uncle Sam Ordered a Sewing Machine Company to Make a .45

by

Before America entered World War II, Uncle Sam looked at the Singer Sewing Machine Company and essentially asked, “Nice factory. Can you make a .45?” The result was just 500 Singer M1911A1 pistols—one of today’s great military-firearms collectibles. Singer wasn’t forced into gunmaking by the Defense Production Act; that law wouldn’t exist until 1950. Instead, the Army paid civilian companies to learn military production before the shooting started. It was industrial mobilization with refreshingly little mystery: you cannot surge a factory you don’t have.

Feeding the Beast: And Lo, We Built It a Data Center

by

What if the Beast of Revelation didn’t rise from the sea—but arrived in a server rack? This fictional, extra-biblical excursion imagines AI as the Beast, data centers as its temples, and humanity enthusiastically feeding it electricity, water, privacy, knowledge, and eventually perhaps our autonomy. The disturbing part isn’t that the machine might conquer us. It’s that we may build it ourselves, connect everything to it, put it in our pockets—and stand in line for the upgrade.

The Carry a Sword Movement: Bring Back the Original Open Carry

by

America once produced men who wouldn’t leave the house without a sword hanging from their belt. Washington carried one. Patton designed one. West Point cadets still have them. Yet today, strap on a saber for a trip to Home Depot and suddenly you’re the weird guy. Maybe it’s time to bring back the original open carry. Swords are arms. Shall not be infringed. Support the right. Respect the right. Carry a sword.

When Government Rewards Evil: The Biblical Line Between Obedience and Resistance

by

Christians are frequently reminded that Romans 13 tells us to obey governing authorities. Fair enough. But what happens when government reverses its God-given assignment—punishing good, protecting evil, or commanding Christians to violate their conscience? Scripture actually answers that question, and the answer is considerably less comfortable than “just obey.”

Sword and Scimitar: The 1,400-Year History We Somehow Forgot to Mention

by

Raymond Ibrahim’s *Sword and Scimitar* commits a dangerous act in modern history: it starts at the beginning. Long before the First Crusade of 1095, Christian lands across the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and Anatolia had already faced centuries of Islamic conquest and warfare. Through eight pivotal battles spanning more than a thousand years, Ibrahim restores the part of the timeline that somehow keeps falling behind history’s couch cushions. His argument is uncomfortable, provocative, and difficult to dismiss: the Crusades weren’t Chapter One of the conflict—they arrived hundreds of pages into the story. You can debate Ibrahim’s conclusions, but you can’t understand 1095 while pretending 636 never happened.
