Watching BBC News and China is conducting war games completely circling Taiwan.
Whatcha wanna bet china will launch attacks before January 19th? I'm thinking it'll start right after our election.

I bought out an estate today, bunch of reloading stuff, black powder, old shotgun shells and ammo of various sorts. Among the treasure was a single loaded AR mag. I popped the 1st round out and it was a WCC 83 so I figured screw it, I’m just gonna step over to the range and burn this through one of my carbines. My 16” Radical carbine was in the truck, so I dropped the mag of 62gn varmit grenades and loaded in the estate mag. Figured I’d just burn it on some fast and sweet close range action, and started at about 18 yards. Cleared the plate rack, and then the dualing tree, and then started in on some alternating double taps on my 2 AR500 full size silhouette targets. Ran a few fast double taps, and when I swung back to the first target I noticed a VERY shiny spot, and halted firing to inspect. 

Turns out the mag was loaded with 3 rounds of FMJ and then a green tip, repeated all the way to the bottom. 

Luckily I didn’t hit too many of my plates with those, and they didn’t do too much damage, but still, I guess that’s what I get for not checking the whole mag.

We used to be the most powerful country the world has ever known. Now we’re the biggest laughing stock. We learn nothing from our own history.
