If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a high-end custom 1911 collided with ancient sword-making aesthetics, Cabot Guns just answered the question. Meet the new Cabot Damascus Bedside 1911 (formerly called the Ultimate Bedside) a pistol that somehow manages to look like a museum piece while still being purpose-built for home defense. Base Price: $8,295. And yes, this thing is absolutely dripping with Cabot energy. The centerpiece here is the pistol’s ladder-pattern Damascus slide, which Cabot says is forged using modern stainless Damascus techniques inspired by the ancient pattern-welded steel that made legendary blades famous centuries ago. The result…
It’s not just the cap and gown. It’s not only the ceremony, the pictures or the celebration dinner afterward. For military families, graduation carries the weight of every move, every goodbye, every deployment and every season of starting over. High school graduation hits differently as a military family. When people see a graduate walking across the stage, they see the final moment. Military families often see the entire journey playing behind them. They see the elementary school years interrupted by orders. The middle school friendships that ended too quickly. The high school years spent learning new roads, new routines and…
This article was originally publisehd by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute. In 2000, the world braced for Y2K. It came with a date and a remedy. There was panic about doomsday, but as other programmers and I stretched the year field from two to four characters, apart from scattered hiccups, the lights stayed on. Everything about Y2K was known—the problem, the solution, and the deadline. Q-Day is something else entirely. Q-Day is shorthand for the moment when quantum computing crosses a line we assumed would hold—when the mathematics that secures modern life can be broken, and broken quickly. On…
One of America’s most remote, isolated national parks is dealing with a fast-moving wildfire, and it can all be traced back to a sailing trip gone wrong. Santa Rosa, one of the five islands in Channel Islands National Park, caught fire after a stranded sailor reportedly set off flares to attract rescuers, and the fire remained uncontained Monday morning. The Fire Channel Islands National Park is a series of five islands around 30 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. The park attracted over 227,000 visitors in 2025. Santa Rosa is the second-largest island in the park, and is…
Police in San Diego say three adult men were killed on Monday afternoon in a targeted shooting at the largest mosque in southern California, with officials saying the attack was carried out by two teens who were found dead of self-inflicted injuries in a vehicle a few blocks away. The suspects, who’ve not yet been identified by name, were 17 and 19-years-old, according to authorities. San Diego police officials have also reported that one of those killed at the mosque was a security guard who was on site. “I’ll tell you what got me,” [Police Chief…
Second Amendment Foundation just picked up another major courtroom win against New York’s post-Bruen carry restrictions. And one of the state’s most controversial anti-carry rules is officially staying down. In a new ruling tied to Christian v. James, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a lower court injunction blocking New York’s so-called “Vampire Rule,” which effectively banned lawful concealed carry on nearly all private property open to the public unless owners posted explicit permission signs. In other words, the default was “no carry” almost everywhere. Gun rights groups argued the law was an obvious workaround…
Canada has confirmed its first hantavirus infection after a cruise ship passenger tested positive for the virus. The infected person was on board the MV Hondius, the cruise ship where the initial outbreak occurred.

The test resulted in a “presumptive positive” test result for the virus, Canadian officials said Saturday. Results from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg to confirm the case are expected to come over the weekend, said Dr. Bonnie Henry, the public health…

The automotive industry is currently in the middle of the Age of Electrification. Most automakers are exploring the possibilities of electric and hybrid powertrains, adding EVs and hybrids to their lineup and some are entirely phasing out gas-powered options. However, within the world of electrified cars, there is a hierarchy in terms of which are most popular. Towards the bottom of the list we find plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), which are a lot less popular than other types of hybrid vehicles. Last year, PHEVs made up less than 5% of new car sales in the US. The reasons why PHEVs haven’t…
Despite the fact that its a project of anti-gun zealot Mike Bloomberg, The Trace likes to bill itself as a straightforward news operation, albeit one that focuses on “gun violence.” And all too often, mainstream media outlets are happy to play along with that fiction. The Trace has partnered with USA Today, Rolling Stone, and other platforms to advance an anti-gun agenda under a veneer of impartiality, though it’s not too difficult to see the pro-gun control bias in their reports. The Trace’s Jennifer Mascia raised some eyebrows over the weekend with a post on…

Belarus said Monday it launched joint drills with Russia to practice the use of nuclear weapons that Moscow has deployed on the territory of its neighbor and ally. Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko has allowed Russia to deploy some of its tactical nuclear weapons to his country. In December, Russia also announced that its latest intermediate range nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile system entered service in Belarus, which borders Ukraine and NATO members Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. The Belarusian Defense Ministry said that the drills will involve missile units and warplanes. “During the exercise, in cooperation with the Russian side, it is…
United States President Donald Trump has warned Iran that the clock is ticking. He added that “there won’t be anything left” of Iran if the country fails to make a deal with the US ruling class. Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to warn that “for Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” Indirect talks between the two warring sides have remained stalled since a fragile ceasefire was established in early April after a month of hostilities initiated by the US…
The 2026 legislative session in Minnesota has been gaveled to a close, and Democrats were unsuccessful in their attempt to pass a sweeping gun control bill that would have banned the sale and transfer of many semi-automatic firearms and commonly owned ammunition magazines. The bun and magazine ban was a top priority for Gov. Tim Walz, who demanded the restrictions on popular firearms after the shooting last August at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, where two children were killed and two dozen were injured when a 23-year-old former student at the Catholic school opened fire on…

This article was originally published by Jacob Thomas at Natural News. Inflation hit a three-year high in April, with consumer prices rising 3.8% over the past year and 0.6% in April, according to BLS data.

Inflation is now rising faster than workers’ pay,…
New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport is continuing the lawsuit against Glock that her predecessor Matthew Platkin filed last year, and her latest move in the litigation has Second Amendment groups crying foul. As part of the state’s discovery process, Davenport has sent subpoenas to FFLs in the Garden State demanding they produce records related to every Glock handgun that’s been purchased in their stores over the past decade. In an alert on the NRA-ILA website, the 2A group points out that Davenport already has access to this information, since New Jersey’s pistol permitting system operates…
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan’s president on Sunday stressed that arms purchases from the United States are “the most important deterrent” of regional conflict and instability, after President Donald Trump called into question continued U.S. support of Taiwan following his visit to China. U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and security cooperation between the two sides are not only governed by law but also a catalyst for regional peace and stability, President Lai Ching-te said in a statement. “We thank President Trump for his continued support for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait since his first term, including the continuous…

Each summer, when a heatwave hits, the power grid gets overwhelmed. Power is interrupted, and many apartment and condo dwellers rush to the store to buy whatever they can get their hands on to cool off. By then, anything that might have helped is sold out. If you live in an urban environment, brick, concrete, and glass make the heat worse, as these materials all radiate stored heat back into your living space. Let’s look at various ways to keep cool during a heat wave and a power failure. TL;DR: To stay cool at home during a power outage, block…
