Over 5 years of looking for a new 1911 Colt Rail Gun (45acp), I have yet to see any in stock both online and in stores. Colt’s website still lists it. What gives?
I’ve had the gun wiki search and setup an alert over the past 5 years too.

Trump has now said dozens of times, roughly 38 by some counts, that a deal is likely or close. Yet the underlying realities remain unchanged. Remember, the Strait of Hormuz was open before the US joined Israel in bombing Iran. The propaganda has been saying for decades that Iran is close to a nuclear weapon but in reality never was. It’s the same lie that was told to invade Iraq and again, they had no nuclear weapons.
What should be getting more attention is energy security. The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a finite emergency stockpile, not an unlimited resource. At current consumption rates, it represents only a relatively short term buffer if a major global supply disruption were to occur. Three weeks of our reserves is all that’s left.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important choke points on Earth. A significant portion of the world’s oil, LNG, petrochemicals, and fertilizer related feedstocks move through it. Any prolonged disruption would send shockwaves through global supply chains and prices which will impact the US.
The United States produces enormous amounts of oil, but not all oil is interchangeable. Much of U.S. production is lighter shale crude, while many refineries and diesel supply chains have historically depended on medium crude grades brought in from the strait (10 million barrels daily the US imports). Venezuela and Canada also do not have the right kind of oil to produce diesel as its heavy tar oil. Energy independence is far more complicated than political slogans suggest.
History also shows that bombing campaigns rarely achieve lasting political objectives on their own. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen all demonstrate the limits of military power when the underlying political realities remain unresolved.
Iran does not need to defeat the United States militarily to create major economic consequences. It can threaten shipping, energy infrastructure, and allied interests throughout the Gulf. Any conflict would affect not only Iran and Israel, but the entire global economy.
The hard truth is that geography matters. Iran sits next to one of the world’s most important maritime choke points. If military force alone could permanently solve these problems, decades of history suggest it already would have. Israel will not allow a deal and look no further than the Epstein files; they have blackmail on our politicians.
Only half of the 6.5 Million Epstein files have been released yet unanimously passed in congress into law to release ALL of the Epstein files. ZERO arrests in the US have been made with accounts of up to two thousand children being trafficked and s*xually abused.
Watch what happens, not what politicians or mainstream television networks propagandize.The strategic realities have not changed.
450 days after the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed, the remaining 3 million Epstein files still haven’t been released and zero arrests have been made. AIPAC heavily funds many (R)&(D) politicians while Israel pushes against an Iran peace deal. The public deserves answers. See more in post.
The DOJ itself acknowledged identifying over 6 million potentially responsive pages, yet only around 3.5 million have been made public so far. That leaves roughly 3 million pages still unreleased while the public is told the case is essentially over.
The timing of these releases has also raised questions for many people. The first major Epstein file release coincided with the Venezuela strikes. The second major release happened during the Iran “Midnight Hammer” operation and the 12-day war coverage dominating headlines. At the same time, nonstop UFO/UAP and “alien disclosure” narratives continue saturating media cycles while attention is constantly redirected elsewhere.
Jeffrey Epstein trafficked and abused American children while operating among some of the wealthiest and most powerful elites in the world. Powerful elites participated in, enabled, associated with, or benefited from the system surrounding him for years while institutions looked the other way.
Yet after all of this, the only person currently behind bars connected to the broader operation is Ghislaine Maxwell.
No sweeping accountability. No major network prosecutions. No meaningful public reckoning.
At some point, people have to ask whether this system still functions as a true democracy, or whether it has become an oligarchy protected by media spectacle, partisan division, endless distractions, and “bread and circuses” designed to keep the public emotionally exhausted while the powerful remain insulated from consequences.

Older Tree Losing Soft Rotten Chunks/Bark Disease, Rot, or Insects?
Older tree in western Missouri, possibly elm. Small soft/squishy chunks of wood occasionally fall from the tree and bark sometimes peels off too.
A few things:
• Tree is still leafing out well at the top
• Tree was trimmed in the past
• Some chunks may be coming from old cut/trimmed branch areas that are no longer leafing
• I have not noticed obvious termites
Trying to figure out if this is:
• Internal rot/decay
• Fungus or disease
• Boring insects
• Animal damage
Main concern is whether the tree is becoming dangerous or if it can still be saved. Awaiting an arborist review but wanted to get others’ opinions as well. Can upload pictures if needed.
Can’t decide on which GPU to upgrade from my current t build RX 7800 XT or RX 7900 GRE? Any other GPU recommendations? Trying to keep this under $500 roughly. Any good deals out there?
Current setup:
-Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6700 XT
-AMD Ryzen 5700X
-ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II
-Corsair RM850x
-Noctua NH-D15
-32GB DDR4 RAM
