As Second Amendment supporters, we find ourselves disappointed quite a bit. We elect people who claim to be pro-gun, only to find out that they are anti-gun control at best. There’s a difference between those two positions, and it matters, especially if we want to get our rights back as we deserve. The Trump administration is a prime example. We expected much of President Donald Trump this go-around, but what we got was a DOJ that continues to defend gun control laws.Yeah, they’re better than any other administration in my lifetime, but the bar was…

A Memorial Day ride in southwest Montana turned ugly after a single strand of barbed wire was reportedly stretched across a trail in the Pipestone Recreation Area east of Butte. The Bureau of Land Management is investigating the incident, which reportedly involved a child on a dirt bike. No serious injury has been reported. Still, the incident is exactly the kind of trail hazard that can turn dangerous fast. What Happened (Photos/Kale Hellwinkel) Kale Hellwinkel said his 11-year-old daughter was riding dirt bikes with friends on Memorial Day when the group came across the wire. Hellwinkel said the boy riding…

According to recently released FBI data, murders dropped by an astounding 18.1% last year. The statistics for 2025 are still preliminary, but if the final numbers are even close to what the agency has reported, then 2025 will have the lowest homicide rate since the FBI started keeping track in 1960. The 4.1 homicides per 100,000 people is a huge improvement over just a few years ago, when violent crime and homicides spiked amidst the COVID pandemic, closure of courts, police pullbacks, and civil unrest across the country.  What goes down must go up eventually,…

As many of you know, Stellantis has had a rough few years in the product planning department. Basically, it fell into the same trap as almost every other manufacturer by leaning too hard in the direction of electric vehicles, only to discover that Americans simply weren’t ready to give up on gas. This meant that Stellantis had to change direction, which doesn’t happen quickly in the automotive industry. Products are planned at least seven years in advance, and if an EV like the Dodge Charger Daytona falls flat, it’s a massive issue. Thankfully, the Dutch conglomerate has a totally new…

This article was originally published by Jacob Thomas at Natural News.  President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, linking the penalty to Beijing’s alleged failure to stop fentanyl and its precursor chemicals from entering the United States. China exports roughly half a trillion dollars in goods to the U.S. annually, so the tariff would impose about $50 billion in new costs on Chinese products. The fentanyl supply chain involves Chinese chemical suppliers shipping precursors to Mexican cartels, which produce the drug and smuggle it across the U.S. border. Between 2015 and 2024, the U.S. recorded approximately…

Wildfires are an inextricable element of land management, but the last few years have seen historically devastating fires: the massive Palisades fire in Los Angeles, the deadly blazes on Maui, and the largest-ever fire in Grand Canyon National Park. In light of these destructive fires, it is natural to assume that climate change has led to an increase in wildfires over the last few decades. But scientists don’t make assumptions, and a new study reveals how both human-caused and naturally occurring wildfires have changed over time in the American West. The Study Amirhossein Montazeri and other authors published “Spatial and…

I still sit here shaking my head over Virginia. I’ve talked a bit about how it seems like their politics swings back and forth with the wind, but last year’s off-year election was particularly strange. Suddenly, the leadership in the state is bad enough that some are probably looking back on Ralph Northam with fond memories. Despite campaigning on affordability, the new Democratic leadership decided instead to focus on guns and gun control, passing a slew of measures, including an assault weapon ban.The powers that be in Richmond are very upset that some prosecutors have…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump asserted on Wednesday that Iran is “negotiating on fumes” and insisted November’s midterm elections won’t factor in shaping his approach to the nearly three-month-old conflict that’s spurred unease across the global economy. Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war, Trump expressed confidence that a deal is near. Over the weekend, he even declared that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement, but the negotiations were still in flux. The president is looking for a settlement that will reopen the Strait…

This article originally appeared on Explorersweb. The attempt last week to break the speed record on Everest by American trail runner Tyler Andrews created confusion and debate. It may have also crossed some red lines that might invalidate the record, if not on the books, at least among the mountaineering community. At the same time — refreshingly, compared to most Everest personalities — Andrews has openly replied to our questions, even the controversial ones. His answers give a clearer picture of the gray areas in commercial high-altitude climbing. In fact, Andrews’ testimony may change how we look at other Everest-related…

It kind of feels like extraction shooters are everywhere right now, which inadvertently makes it difficult for any new one to stand out on the label alone. Deep Worlds’ Beautiful Light seems to understand that too, because its strongest hook isn’t just that players are fighting to get in and out alive. It’s that they’re doing so inside a tactical horror FPS where three-player squads enter the world to secure an artifact and then attempt to extract while other players hunt them as both armed operators and monstrous anomalies. On Steam, Beautiful Light is described as a PvPvPvE tactical first-person…

If you prioritize time on the water, you’ve surely been exposed to polarized lenses. Maybe you don’t know exactly how the optics work. But there are simple reasons you’re drawn to them, namely the instant eye comfort that results from overall glare reduction. The deeper you go with on-water vision, however, the more you’ll commit to polarized lenses. Their capabilities and benefits led Costa to exclusively manufacture polarized sunglasses. That’s not a cosmetic choice for the beloved Florida-based brand; it’s a performance-critical attribute for anglers, boaters, surfers, and paddlers exploring fresh- and saltwater wilds.  Now, Costa is upping its polarized game…

We all know that Colorado has been drinking the anti-gun Kool-Aid for a while now, and this year, they took things a step further with their ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and standard capacity magazines. The surprising part about it was how long it took them to get it. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis wouldn’t sign an outright ban, but he saw no issue with regulations that amount to mostly the same thing.Now, residents in the state are going to be faced with even greater burdens, and it might end up screwing over a lot…
