Everytown for Gun Safety likes to think of itself as the voice that matters in the gun debate. Oh, their anti-gun allies matter, too, I’m sure, but they like to act as if their take is the only one anyone should pay any attention to. That’s why they’re very upset that the ATF has made a number of rule change proposals that run counter to the things they want. In fairness, I understand that. I was upset when most of these rules were enacted, after all, and since they weren’t, it stands to reason that…

Exodus has been compared to Mass Effect from the moment it was revealed, and, to be fair, that was probably unavoidable. Archetype Entertainment is made up of several former BioWare developers, after all, Exodus is a choice-driven sci-fi RPG with companions, alien worlds, and a massive universe to explore, and Mass Effect is still one of the easiest reference points for that kind of game. If anything, the comparison is a compliment, especially considering how much of a mark BioWare’s own sci-fi RPG franchise left on the genre. During a recent Future Games Show showcase briefing with Archetype Entertainment and…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The Ogallala Aquifer Is Dying – As The Largest Supply Of Groundwater In The United States Vanishes, Farmers Are Deeply Concerned About What Is Next Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone, it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States, the recharge rate is less than an inch per year. That is a major problem, because more than half of the…

In 2022, the National Park Service (NPS) acquired over 16,000 acres to add to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Since then, this area, known as Kahuku-Pōhue, has been closed to visitors as the NPS has weighed how to best balance visitor access and environmental stewardship. A newly released plan finally sheds light on the recreation opportunities here, as well as major proposed changes elsewhere in the park. The Background Located on the Big Island, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes is one of the state’s two national parks. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting nearly 2 million visitors in 2025, according to NPS data.…

The small block V8 has a lot of heritage and expertise built in, but its 70‑year evolution hasn’t always been a smooth one. Across seven decades, this engine family has earned a reputation for durability, tunability, and major cultural impact, but it’s also weathered its share of growing pains, supplier missteps, and high‑profile failures: most recently in models like the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Yukon. Credit: GMC That history now matters more than ever, because the small block V8 engine has once again found itself at a bit of a fork in the road: could the engine failures plaguing the current…

Father’s Day is right around the corner (June 21), and it can be tough to find the right gift for a dad who spends his free time casting lines or calling in game. If your dad lives for early mornings in pursuit of animals and tall tales about “the one that got away,” you’re in the right place. The outdoor gear world is flooded with options. And let’s be honest, most of them are more flash than function. We review a lot of gear over the years, which is why you’ll see a lot of carryover suggestions for gift guides.…

I really hate hypocrisy, and I hate it from any side. It’s one thing to take the argument of “well, they’re doing it, and it’s working, so while I hate it, I’d rather not lose everything.” It’s another to pretend that your preferred policies are sacrosanct while any variation on that is the worst thing ever when the other side tries it. For example, take the concept of sanctuary cities/counties/states. For quite a while, very blue cities engaged in sanctuary policies with illegal aliens, where they’d arrest someone, find out they’re illegal, punish them (maybe),…

Not unlike the super weapon referenced in the Star Wars quote on which the studio’s namesake is based, That’s No Moon has been building something in secret. This week at Summer Game Fest, GameRant finally got to see what That’s No Moon has been cooking up all these years, and what they have revealed is an industry-pushing experience constructed on a foundation of cinematic narrative combined with a set of revolutionary systems. By now, you have likely seen the reveal trailer for Crossfire, That’s No Moon’s single-player tactical cover shooter. You might have a lot of questions after seeing the…

In 2023, the military, under the direction of the Biden Administration, blew up a Boy Scout’s balloon with a $500,000 missile. At the time, the ruling class feared that Chinese spy balloons were floating above the United States. Chinese Spy Balloon Used American Technology To Spy The ruling class was in a rush to eliminate these spy balloons and instead used its access to “intelligence” and technology to take out a Boy Scout’s balloon. The “spy balloon frenzy” kicked off in early February 2023 when a Chinese high-altitude balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina by an F-22 Raptor.…

The Supreme Court has let an appellate court ruling stand in a case involving a third grade student’s “Come and Take It” hat, denying cert in a petition filed on behalf of the student and her father.  The student in question wore a cap with the words “Come and Take It” and an AR-15 to her Michigan school during a “Hat Day” event, but was told she needed to remove it because of the disruption and concern it might cause. We’ve been following this case for several years here at Bearing Arms; ever since the federal…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel and Iran appeared to back away from further strikes Monday, hours after they traded fire for the first time since the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Tehran two months ago. Both countries warned that they were ready to launch retaliatory attacks if provoked. The renewed hostilities raised concerns that the Middle East could be plunged back into a full-scale war. Since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on Feb. 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven energy prices up around the world and made many basics, including food, more…

Once upon a time, the places we turned to for entertainment largely tried to stay out of politics. OK, maybe not, but they were more subtle about a lot of it. They didn’t put up banners telling half the country to take a hike, then wonder why no one wants to watch what they put out. Still, sports were different.Yes, athletes had opinions, and they were more than willing to share them, but the teams themselves kept quiet, at least for the most part. They took non-controversial stands that the general public could get behind.…
