As I posted above. This article doesn’t fit the narrative of most on the AH Political Forum. Unlike most opinion pieces found in places like the NYT or WP, the author cites the reasoning behind his opinions and while some are open to interpretation they are things that actually have...

This article doesn’t fit the narrative of most on the AH Political Forum but it does a give an insightful and cited view of the current Ukraine situation. https://thefederalist.com/2025/12/02/those-unhappy-with-ukrainian-peace-deal-have-russia-hoaxers-to-blame/

When a boat is hit and still above water does that mean it can’t be hit again. If those are the rules of war then the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiro might still be sailing around Midway.

+1 Nice synopsis. You may have missed Kushner's greatest accomplishment on your list. The Abraham Accords which helped set up the peace deal between Israel and Palestinians, and has the potential to usher in a long term era of cooperation between the Jews and the Arabs.

Good question. I certainly don’t have the answer. Trump has done seemingly strange things like this before. ie: Rod Blagojevich, who probably was considering doing a crime but didn’t prior to indictment and conviction. With the lawfare against Trump he is probably empathetic regarding what...

If the non NATO country Ukraine. Attacks a NATO member Germany. Does NATO respond by attacking Ukraine. Inquiring minds….

If Trump does something with Venezuela and Maduro it will be interesting to see if Smartmatic and Dominion come back into vogue in the media. I’m not saying it will happen, but if it does it starts tying multiple conspiracies together and gives a much stronger reason for regime change/invasion...

+1 It’s long past time for Grassley and Thune to get rid of the blue slip process

Interesting perspective by Fannie Mae. I have invested in real estate my adult life and have bought over 100 residential properties.(1-4 units). In Oklahoma I see Fannie, Freddie and FHA turning over documents to DOJ for prosecution in cases like James has been indicted for fraud. 1. James...

Looks like a Chinese company has caused another ecological issue in the copper belt. Requiring the mining companies to post a bond significant enough to cover damages would improve mining practices. Instead a paltry amount goes into politicians pockets to look the other way...

I have taken rifles for dg and used camp rifles. Just clarify with the ph as to the camp rifle you would use. I have only used camp rifles I am familiar with. ie: M70 or Cz/Brno. I can practice at home. You don’t want to show up on a dg hunt used to a slide safety on your Remington 30.06...

Congratulations to both of you Dave!

You definitely do! When I saw this topic I was waiting for you to chime in ;)

I was in a Bedouin village in the Negev three years ago. It was interesting how they despise the Palestinians. Some of the men from the village serve in the IDF.

Living room looks really large without the rhino behind the couch ;) Good luck in selling a great property!

Not sure if the market is large enough to support a plant but it would be neat to see Unimogs built in America.

You can hunt the rest of your life and never get a better waterbuck or nyala. Great first safari!

I see you live in Minnesota. When was the last time you offered to give your home to a Chippewa or Sioux.

Or you can look at it in another way. What about the people that were driven out or felt the need to leave for their safety between 625 and 1918? There are always multiple views.

You mention that @mdwest statements are contemporary history yet you go back only 100 years. One hundred years seems fairly contemporary to me. There is a lot more history to the region than 100 years. Virtually every person in the world lives on conquered land. Israel conquered the land from...

Humorous point taken! ;) :ROFLMAO: Two monarchys Two emperors Five republics Since the exciting Robespierre/Jacobin/guillotine days. In reality America seems to be doing quite well. The only Crown Jewels we have are secured by Fruit of the Loom.

I guess there will be no more Kings in France since the Crown Jewels were stolen. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/crown-jewels-stolen-from-louvre-in-4-minute-operation-by-thieves-in-broad-daylight

244 years ago today, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. October 19, 1781 was the original No Kings Day in America. There have been no Kings since.

Evidently this sign is in Bath England. :unsure:

1980 was a fantastic election night! …and yes we are getting old :confused:

I agree with you as it currently stands. The Republican maps at least make sense these days. I do remember the 1980 map when Oklahoma was still a blue state and democrats controlled the state government. Democrats lost the 5th district so they redrew the map to try and get as many republicans...

I think Comey and James are in EDVA which is a blue jury pool although better than the district. Bolton is Maryland which is not great either. It sounds like James and Bolton are strong cases. Not so sure on Comey so no clue how the chips will fall. It also sounds like a grand jury is...

Evidently the WMD’s were in Bolton’s file cabinets/servers the entire time. :sneaky:

So two Republicans and one Democrat indicted so far. Wonder why the democrats are so angry about indictments. You would think they would be happy. :ROFLMAO:

Agree with you on the retirement. Alito may be the first to go then Thomas. You don’t want them to hang around like RBG. I think Trump learned his lesson on nominating slightly right justices. I don’t think he wants to do that again. Of course the senate makes the final decision. Getting an...

The VRA case was heard by the court yesterday. This has the potential to change the midterms with Republicans potentially picking up 10-15 seats due to redistricting. To me it looks like Sotomayer, Kagan and Jackson don’t want it changed. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh want it done away...

What a slow world news day. When’s the next war ending.

Then she got me good :ROFLMAO: Guess I need to put her in the same category as the Babylon bee.

When people are too obtuse to understand the hilarity of their statements. :ROFLMAO:

I have reservations that the Middle East peace will hold long term. That said I am more optimistic than any other time in my life. The Camp David Accords were a good start. The Abraham Accords in Trumps first administration kicked off this round and look to expand signatories over the following...

If you look at all the law fare against Trump, this indictment is not necessarily surprising being the first. DOJ May make a deal with James on mtg fraud if she becomes a witness against others regarding “conspiracy against rights” on the law fare. She certainly may not plead or take a deal but...

Really neat information. Thanks for posting the details! Fun to reminisce about the old days. The 1/2 cost of rifle for Robin on third page, Was your fathers PH Robin Hurt? Do you know who the PH’s were for your father and grandfather? Interesting to see that one item is cheaper today than...

The Biden administration spying on eight Republican senators seems to have hacked off senator Schmitt. This is a nice five minute synopsis of the law fare that has gone on over the past 10 years by the Obama and Biden administrations along with the internal law fare within DOJ, FBI and IC...

Photo on left makes me think of @ActionBob He has a few miles of lay flat just to reach the various fields. People would have to think twice about protesting Bob’s businesses. :ROFLMAO:

It will be interesting how much Vought will or can cut before the cr is confirmed. Republicans always cave. They seem to have the high ground for once. Democrats may have just overplayed their hand.

But I was told this wasn’t happening :unsure:

Thanks for the update!

Can anyone tell us what the winning bid on the rifle was? Is it staying in Africa?

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!

Interesting information. Thanks for the history. It looks like there is a crack behind the crossbolt and some work on both sides of the stock towards the front of the action. Can you give us any more details about this?

Thanks for the information. My fathers browning had the hinged floor plate, slide safety and the browning bolt release. I can not recall if the action was drilled. My father never scoped the rifle however. Again, I am pretty sure his was made in 1963. Not a good photo and this is not my...

I agree. Thompson spent a few years culling elephant in Rhodesia but I don’t know if that was a game department rifle or this rifle.

Habib, I appreciate your knowledge on older rifles and have a question. My father had an FN made browning in 458. Pretty sure it was a 1963 model. It had the browning slide safety. Did FN continue making rifles with the Mauser safety and bolt release after contracting with Browning around...

I don’t necessarily recommend it but I had good success with both the 220 Swift and 22-250 on deer and deer sized animals. The largest animal was probably a topi. I don’t recall ever loosing a wounded animal. On broadside shots the would channel was generally massive with the thorax jelled...

This is pretty hilarious.
