As winter approaches, new challenges enter the concealed carry arena. Heavy clothing on a bad guy and four-legged predator attacks while hunting means that many of us opt for more potent calibers. The ebb and flow of 10mm’s popularity aside, there is no debate that the caliber’s power can solve most problems. With these capabilities […]

The reporters tried to shame Beal by telling him he is a role model and asking him if he “understands the bigger picture”, but this is a personal choice and there really isn’t a bigger picture.
That same reporter also reminded him that this topic is not going away nor will the questions surrounding Beal’s vaccination.
It almost sounds like they’re trying to intimidate him.
Beal, like many others, does not understand why he needs the vaccine if a majority of others are already vaccinated and the vaccine doesn’t prevent illness.
He stood his ground and questioned the reporters questioning him.
Reporter: I’m going to ask this question, are you vaccinated?
Beal: Oh, I am not vaccinated. No.
Reporter: Do you care to share why?
Beal: Personal reasons. I would like an explanation to, you know, people with vaccines, why are they still getting COVID? If that’s something that we are supposed to highly be protected from like it’s funny that it only reduces your chances of going to the hospital. It doesn’t eliminate anybody from getting COVID Right? so everybody is everybody in here vaxxed? I would assume, right? So you all can still get COVID Right?
Reporter: We are less likely to die or go to the hospital.
Beal: Okay, but you could still get COVID. Right. So, and you can still pass it along with the vax right?
Reporter: now the whole vaccination debate. That’s your personal choice, but it’s probably not gonna be the last time you’re going to get asked these questions. Are you worried that this is going to be maybe a distraction for you, the team going forward and how do you plan on handling this? Because obviously, in this COVID world, everybody wants to talk about the vaccination question.
Beal: One it won’t be any pressure from me or from my teammates or anybody. Two, I don’t think it’ll be a distraction. We’re gonna play basketball and do it at the highest level. And you know we have protocols and things in place to make sure that we’re taken care of them we’re tested, you know regularly. So, no, I think were good,
Reporter: I guess, do you understand I guess both sides of the coin, the perspective? Because of this question and of this debate. Obviously, it’s not an easy situation for you because your role model in the spotlight, I guess. Do you understand I guess the whole, the whole thing, the whole picture?
Beal: Yeah. I have family. My mom and dad are vaccinated, my older brothers are vaccinated, my sister-in-law is vaccinated, I know people that have, people that are very close to me that are vaccinated. Just as well as I have people that are close to me or related to me that or not. So, it’s a fine line it’s a personal choice between everybody 100%. Like I understand both sides of it like I understand that there’s a percentage of people who can get very sick, I didn’t get sick. I didn’t get sick at all. I lost my smell, but that was it for me, everybody’s going to react different everybody’s going to take it differently, I mean some people have bad reactions to the vaccine. Nobody likes to talk about that. And what happens if one of our players gets the vaccine and they can’t play after that, or they have complications after that? Because there are cases like that, but I feel like we don’t talk about those as heavily because they’re so minute, maybe. But, I mean they are existent. So it’s like I said before, we can, we can talk all day about it, everybody’s gonna have their own opinion, everybody’s gonna have their own timing and comfort of when they feel like they want to meet those criteria or needs or feel like they want to go through with getting the vaccine.
Medical choices are personal choices.
Can we just agree that professional athletes know more about personal health than woke, out-of-shape reporters?

100 Percent Fed Up – The Babylon Bee is a right-leaning satire site that regularly produces some of the funniest content on the internet. On Monday, The Babylon Bee released a hilarious videotaped skit depicting FBI agents orchestrating a domestic terror attack on the Capitol. The scene mocks FBI agents who allegedly set up Trump supporters on January 6th.
The video opens with an image of a Confederate flag and the words “Undisclosed Location” at the bottom of the screen. The next shot includes a picture of a marked-up map with strings and push pins, along with guns and bandanas (disguises) lying on top of the map. The words “MAGA Country” are added under “Undisclosed Location.”
The opening scene reveals the FBI ringleader giving instructions to his cohort Garth, “Alright, enough talk, it’s time to take action! Garth, repeat the plan.”
“The plan is simple,” Garth says.
The FB ringleader interrupts him, “Repeat the plan, emphasizing the most illegal parts, speaking audibly, loud enough for, say, a tiny microphone to hear—and also, state your full name.”
“OK, the plan is simple. We break into the Capitol building—we infiltrate the government and kidnap the Speaker of the House. And this is Garth Henderson speaking,” the MAGA hat, Miller beer/Trump t-shirt wearing FBI agent says.
The FBI ringleader suddenly turns around and speaks into a microphone in his jacket collar, asking, “Did you get that? We’ve got everything we need!” as he turns to the men at the planning table and draws his gun, screaming to everyone to “get down” warning them that a squad of FBI agents are on their way. Hilariously, everyone in the room draws their guns and points them at each other.
A large red-headed MAGA hat-wearing man at the table who’s wearing a hilarious fake black mustache shouts, “You FBI scum! You’re all scum! You’ll never take us alive. We’re the true patriots, standing up for liberty and stuff!” Suddenly, the FBI ringleader recognizes “Steve” and calls him out by name. The red-headed man with the bad mustache admits he hasn’t been around the office because he’s been working undercover.
The hilarity continues, as an emotional FBI agent with a fake suicide bomb around his waist recalls happier times when the agents in the room worked together to create a phony kidnapping plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and how they built a lego model of the Capitol together.
The FBI agents realize they are the only ones in on the January 6th Capitol “insurrection plot” and that there are no actual Trump supporters in the room. So they put down their guns, and the ring leader suggests they move forward with the plot to set up the Trump supporters—because, after all, they don’t want to let all of their hard work go to waste.
Watch:
The Babylon Bee skit would be even funnier if it weren’t true. The FBI deserves to be mocked for setting up Trump supporters and for faking kidnapping plots like the one in Michigan. Democrat Governor Whitmer has been using the so-called “kidnapping plot” to invoke sympathy almost every time she is attacked for her draconian lockdown orders or the deaths she caused when she sent COVID positive patients into nursing homes in her state.
When our intelligence agencies are being used as a tool to help Democrats deflect from the horrible truth about their dishonesty party, America is in big trouble.

President Biden received his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot on Monday, after public health officials recommended boosters for many Americans, including those 65 and older. Mr. Biden, 78, got his third shot on camera, and delivered brief remarks before his jab.
Biden receiving his shot was produced for the media to share:
what the media did not tell you was that the entire thing was a production. Biden wasn’t in the White House and the media didn’t tell you that. Wayne Dupree reported:
I saw this photo and I thought, “Oh come on, this isn’t real…”
How can this be real, right?
It has to be fake – why on earth would Joe Biden get a booster shot on the “set” of a fake “White House?”
Dupree was referring to a tweet.
These are the people who want us to trust them.

The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island has awakened once again. The volcano is erupting as of Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2021, at approximately 3:20 pm. According to an official release, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
HVO detected a glow in Kīlauea summit webcam images indicating that an eruption has commenced within Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Kīlauea’s summit caldera, within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Webcam imagery shows fissures at the base of Halemaʻumaʻu crater generating lava flows on the surface of the lava lake that was active until May 2021, according to Big Island Now.
HVO is elevating Kīlauea’s volcano alert level from WATCH to WARNING and its aviation color code from ORANGE to RED, as this new eruption and associated hazards are evaluated. The activity is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu and the hazards will be reassessed as the eruption progresses. Big Island Now
Kilauea last erupted in 2018 in dramatic fashion:
VOLCANO RED ALERT: Kilauea Still Erupting Now Poses THREAT To Humans And Aircraft
Hawaiian Volcano: EXPLOSION EXPECTED! 19 Fissures, Spewing ‘Lava Bombs’
Changes in activity will happen fast, according to those monitoring the eruption. The Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma Island in the Canary Islands is also still erupting:
Canary Island Of La Palma ROCKED By Over 70 Earthquakes
Both of these volcanos have the potential of causing a tsunami on the coasts of North America. A Kilauea eruption or earthquake could cause the Hilina slump to slide off sending a tsunami towards the West coast. La Palma island could fracture during an earthquake or volcanic eruption cause a landslide and tsunami on the East coast. Lava from this eruption has reached ocean water, which could also result in toxic gas emissions into the air. What are the chances of that happening? No one really seems to have a consensus.
Either way, consider having an evacuation plan in place just in case, especially if you live on the coasts. At the very least, keep your eyes and ears open as to what’s going on. This could be nothing more than two volcanos erupting. But this could also be worth noting and preparing for. Just in case.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Thursday following the Congressional hearing Wednesday with General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
On Wednesday Matt Gaetz was one of the few representatives who grilled Milley and Austin on their historic failures in Afghanistan and treasonous calls with China.
It truly is amazing that so many Republicans appeared accepting of this historic surrender and arming of the Taliban terrorist movement. Thanks to Milley and Austin the Taliban extremists have one of the most equipped armies in the world today.
Gaetz also went off on CNN’s Don Lemon who attacked the GOP representative for holding these DC failures accountable.
Gaetz responded, “Trump was right. Don Lemon is one of the dumbest men on television. If Don Lemon has one brain cell, it’s playing freeze tag. He thinks I’m the worst person in the world? I wouldn’t even be the worst person at CNN by far! He’s got Jeffrey Tobin rubbing one out during a Zoom call. You got Chris Cuomo now facing new accusations. There is a bartender in the Hamptons who has sued Don Lemon. Now, these are just allegations but they’re made in court and they’re very telling. Don would stick his hands down his pants and then stick his fingers under the nose of male bartenders and asked them if they liked it. For this guy to call me the worst man in the world, it shows how vapid and empty he is. How vapid and empty CNN is.
Ouch.

During Covid-19 lockdowns, there was a significant uptick in the amount of fishing license sales across the country, and I’ve seen an increase in the pressure fishing tournaments have put on the resource as I travel around the country fishing kayak bass tournaments. With so many new anglers coming into the fold, safe, ethical practices on handling fish are paramount. One of the most controversial topics is the act of fizzing fish.
Fizzing involves venting the excess gas from the swim bladder of a fish after it has been brought up from deep water, usually from a depth of 20 feet or more. When any species of fish are reeled up to the surface from those depths, their swim bladder expands due to the reduced water pressure, resulting in barotrauma. (This is similar to the bends, which affects scuba divers who surface too rapidly.) When a fish experiences barotrauma, it is unable to stay upright. It floats on its side, and preventing it to swim back down once released. Barotrauma can also cause internal damage to the fish if it’s not treated quickly.
Signs of barotrauma include blood in the mouth of the fish, a bloated swim bladder, and the bladder protruding into the mouth of the fish.
Fizzing fish takes precision. You must use a hollow needle and poke a hole in the swim bladder to relieve the pressure. You need to have a basic understanding of fish anatomy to capably perform this procedure correctly. Fizzing can be done through the throat (which most biologists don’t recommend), or the more accepted method, which involves lining the needle up with the pectoral fin and counting two or three scales before sticking it into the fish.
I believe in the practice of fizzing fish. There are some anglers who are not in favor of it, mainly because it does take real skill to fizz a fish. That said, it’s not difficult once you understand how to do it. Many believe you are only further damaging the chances a fish will survive by fizzing it. That is true—but only if the fizzing is done incorrectly. If you don’t know how to fizz a fish correctly, simply keep the fish (if it meets state or local lake inch-length requirements), or just don’t fish deep water.
Joe Balog grew up fishing the Great Lakes, and has made a living as a charter boat captain, fishing writer, and tournament angler. He also worked in wildlife management. He has been very involved with fish and livewell care, and he has working closely with biologists to find the best ways to transport and handle fish during a tournament.
“It’s important to realize in terms of the scientific community, fizzing isn’t a controversial thing. It isn’t a good or a bad thing, it’s just something that you do when you are fishing deep,” Balog says. “If you aren’t fishing a tournament, the quicker you can catch and release that fish, the better. If you bring a fish up, immediately unhook it and let it go… Ninety-five percent of fish will go back down without the need to fizz. I’m all for that. But if the fish remain out of water [for photos] or in a livewell, they will need to be fizzed.”
If you see that a fish is suffering from barotrauma, you must fizz it, because the odds of it surviving otherwise are incredibly low.
“There’s a zero percent chance the fish will live if it [remains] on the surface, so fizzing is a must at that point,” Balog says.
As for the two methods of fizzing, Balog is a proponent of inserting the needle from the fish’s side.
“There are two schools of thought on fizzing,” he said. “Some people stick them in their throats, some [by] the pectoral fin. All the biologists I’ve spoken with have been adamantly opposed to going through the throat.”

What’s most important is that you handle fish properly and are aware that catching fish in deep water comes with responsibility. You owe it to the fish and other anglers to either learn how to fizz or have the common sense not to fish too deep or keep any legal fish you do hook in more than 20 feet of water.
