    Producing them here, or selling them here? Wanna bet they outsource them. I sure would.

    I believe they currently manufacture tubes in Rossville, Georgia (the US state, not the country in Europe).

    It seems that things are getting a bit hotter in the East.

    If there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's that they won't be calling me back to fight.

    Biden's flaccid foreign policy is a hill I'm not willing to die on.

    As Robert Gates, former defense secretary in the Obama administration, once put it, Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

    At least he's been consistent.
