Trump Warns He Will Take Back the Panama Canal Unless They Stop 'Ripping Off' America and Start Countering China's Influence | The Gateway Pundit | by Ben Kew
Donald Trump has warned that he could seize back the Panama Canal unless they agree to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.

Donald Trump has warned that the United States could seize back the Panama Canal unless the country agrees to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.
In a post on Truth Social, the incoming president urged the Panamanian government to start taking care of the canal or face the consequences.
He wrote:
Trump later followed up with another post explaining its role preserving America’s economic and national security:
Panamanian officials have yet to respond to Trump’s warning, although it will be taken extremely seriously given the outsized role in plays in the country’s economy.
During his first term in office, Trump met with former Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela where he mentioned America’s involvement in the canal’s construction.
“The Panama Canal is doing quite well,” Trump remarked during the meeting. “I think we did a good job building it, right?”
“Yeah. One hundred years ago,” said Valera, to which Trump responded: “We did a very good job.”

New Report: Joe Biden Left Grieving Families Waiting for Three Hours Prior to Dignified Transfer of Kabul Bombing Victims — While He Napped on the Plane | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
A new report reveals shocking details about President Biden's actions during a solemn moment for grieving families, leaving them waiting for hours. Discover the full story behind this controversial incident.
www.thegatewaypundit.com
The Kabul Airport victims – made possible by the unapologetic Biden-Harris regime.
Joe Biden met with the families of the fallen US service members killed by a suicide bomber at Kabul Airport during their dignified transfer at Dover airbase.
During the ceremony, Joe Biden famously checked the time on his watch before the bodies were brought out.
Because of Joe Biden’s incompetence, 13 US service members were killed in a suicide blast in Kabul by a terrorist who was released from Bagram prison weeks earlier.
Biden would not allow any media present while he met with the gold star families.
Joe Biden met the pregnant widow of one of the fallen Marines and it didn’t go well, according to the Washington Post.
20-year-old Rylee McCollum was a Marine from Bondurant, Wyoming, and only three weeks into his first deployment when he was killed in the Kabul blast.
McCollum graduated high school two years ago and was three weeks away from becoming a father.
McCollum’s grief-stricken mother went off on Joe Biden and blamed him for her son’s death.
But now we know there is more to the story.
The grieving families accuse Joe Biden of napping for three hours before meeting with the families.
Now they are speaking out.

EASY TO NAVIGATE HUD SCREENS
Our solution to this challenge are the three separate HUD screens of the VECTOR X that display the target information arranged by order of importance. By pressing the left or right button of the D-Pad of your VECTOR X, you can swiftly toggle between the three HUD screens to access the different types of target information.FIRST HUD SCREEN
Besides the target distance and azimuth, the first HUD screen displays the most important information for shooting related uses cases: elevation and two windage values (depending on wind direction and speed) calculated by Applied Ballistics Elite. Firing solutions are displayed either in MRAD or MOA. Within this HUD screen you can effortlessly adjust the display brightness level using the up and down buttons.
SECOND HUD SCREEN
The second HUD screen shows your wind presets (Wind 1 and Wind 2). You can easily adjust the wind speed within this HUD screen with the up and down buttons of the D-Pad. Also displayed on the second HUD screen are the inclination to your measured target and the time of flight of the bullet according to the activated gun profile.
THIRD HUD SCREEN
The third HUD screen displays the activated Gun Profile and the remaining energy and velocity of the bullet at the measured target distance.
NO BALLISTICS
If you do not use the Applied Ballistics Elite features of your VECTOR X, all target information generated with a measurement is displayed on a single HUD screen. Besides the measured distance it shows the target azimuth, inclination and the equivalent horizontal range (EHR).

Swampfox Kentucky Long 2-12x44 review
- By blue_ridge

I’ve been looking for a scope that I can shoot on low magnification with both eyes open, like thick hardwoods hunting situations but also give me a mil/mil reticle and 8x+ power for shooting steel at longer ranges. Ok, so the SwampFox 2-12x FFP scope with RECCE reticle fits the bill. I have begun evaluating it and comparing it to some other scopes I have. The whole lineup:
Swampfox KYLR with the RECCE reticle:
https://www.swampfoxoptics.com/kentucky-long-series
Burris XTR3 3.3-18 FFP with SCR2 reticle
Bushnell Elite 3-12x44 FFP
Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 SFP:
Bushnell AR Optics 1-8x24 SFP:
I review scopes for my own purposes, which is a focus on how I use and operate a scope. My priorities are that it tracks properly and that the controls are easy to operate and see from behind the rifle. I mostly use mil/mil scopes with zero stop. A useful scope to me is one that gives me an eyebox that works in various rifle positions, has a good uncluttered reticle and provides good field of view. Illumination is important to me in scopes I might use for CQB, that have low 1x-2.5X magnification as well as FFP scopes where the reticle changes size dramatically. The illumination helps me see some FFP reticles which become small and thin at low magnification. Glass quality isn’t a top priority, but poor image crispness can become a hindrance or a distraction. So for me, the higher the quality of the scope, the less I worry about image quality. For this Swampfox I will pay closer attention to glass quality than I would for a Zeiss or Kahles.
1. Unbox and setup, fit and finish - Box is well packed. Comes with a throw lever, which is easy to attach using the provided Allen. Throw lever works well and mag ring moves smoothly.
Turrets have a nice tactile click.
There is no Revolution counter which is a shame because I find it a useful feature and it costs almost nothing to put marks on the inside of the turret column.
The reticle focus is easy to adjust. I’d rather it be a lockable adjustment because I have no reason to change it once it is set to my eyes. Hopefully it doesn’t move when I put a scope cap on the ocular.
Parallax adjust works well and the numbers seem pretty accurate for the ranges I tried so far.
Installing the battery was easy.
I don’t like that there is no OFF position in between the illumination dial numbers 1-11. When you are at either ends max of 11 or minimum of 1, you can just move it one position to 0 for off, but if you’re in the middle, like 4,5,6,7, then you have to move it as many as 6 positions to turn it off.
The turrets are locked. Pop it up and it is ready to dial. Pop it back down and it is locked again. Well executed.
The box includes a nice reticle card which shows the reticle at 2X, 12X and the subtensions outlined on the flip side.
