Paul Harrell On Why If You Want A Rifle, Buy A Rifle. Or If You Want A Shotgun, Buy A Shotgun. Don't Buy A Hybrid. - And, Today We Have the Daily Situation Awareness Report From Forward Observer

 A few years back , Rossi/Taurus came out with the Circuit Judge Carbine. Essentially a revolver action that goes back to the days of the 19th century. Originally designed as handgun caliber carbine, it was relegated to the dustbin of history once the more efficient Lever Actions were designed and produced.

As you would, Paul Harrell gives a an efficient, no-nonsense review, punctuated with his usual wry wit, and dry humor.

The Daily S.A. From The Forward Observer

Next up, we have the return of The Daily Situation Report from the Forward Observer Website. Several of you guys are aware that I used to link to it at the forum, as it was originally posted online at their website. However a few weeks back they decided to make it by subscription only. Since the format cannot be linked to, I will be posting it here in regular text format every day, Mon to Fri. 

This will allow those of you who don't look in regularly at the forum these days to check it out. The news in the Daily S.A. tends to be the sort of things that somehow don't make it to any other news sites regardless of their political leanings.

Good morning. Here’s your Daily Situational Awareness for Friday, 19 August 2022.

ARGENTINA HIT BY STREET PROTESTS OVER DETERIORATING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS: Argentinians took to the streets today by the thousands to protest poor economic conditions that are gutting its working class. Inflation rose 7.4% in the last month to a high of 70%, and 40% of the population lives below the poverty level without steady employment. Protest leaders from local unions and political opposition groups called for government action to control prices on food, fuel, and essential consumer items as skyrocketing inflation are weakening the peso currency. Prices at grocery stores are increasing daily, and many working-class Argentinians are losing confidence in President Albert Fernandez’s government to improve economic conditions. – M.M.

RUSSIA REJECTS UNITED NATIONS CARETAKER FORCE AT UKRAINIAN NUCLEAR PLANT: Russian foreign ministry officials rejected a proposal by the United Nations to demilitarize the area around the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine today. Moscow accused Kyiv of daily artillery and rocket attacks on the plant in an effort to introduce foreign military forces under the pretext of a demilitarized exclusion zone. Russian officials said they are following all safety protocols to keep the plant operating but may need to shut down plant numbers 5 and 6 power units due to the Ukrainian shelling. – M.M.

NEPAL NEXT TO EXPERIENCE FOOD SHORTAGES: According to agricultural officials, only 75% of Nepal’s rice paddy areas were planted this year. Lack of monsoon rains this year and extreme fertilizer shortages will further decrease yields. While India provided an emergency shipment of fertilizer, the country still faces a food shortage. – M.S.

BARRASSO ACCUSES BIDEN ADMIN OF SUBVERTING FEDERAL LAW: Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) accused the Biden administration of subverting the law on oil and gas lease sales. “Federal law is clear as day: the Secretary of the Interior is required to hold quarterly lease sales in states with federal oil and gas resources,” Barrasso said in a statement, adding that the Biden administration’s policy on curbing lease sales ‘subverts federal law.’ – M.S.
