A single case of Marburg virus is threatening to derail the current efforts to control the Ebola outbreak in Uganda. The bulk of Ebola is concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo; however, with the introduction of another hemorrhagic disease, complications are compounding. Current Ebola Outbreak Could Become The Largest on Record On Tuesday, Uganda formally reported to the World Health Organization that it had detected a single Marburg case as a disease outbreak in the western part of the country. A spokesperson for the Geneva-based global health agency told STAT News of the outbreak. This development could further complicate…
Standing at the top of the rope line, I waited excitedly for the ski patrol to flip the sign from closed to open. I was about to have the best day of my season catching the rope drop at the famous Teo 2 Bowl at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Not every day is the best day of my season. I was stoked to be riding the Burton Custom Flying V, a snowboard that slings fun across the mountain without needing to be ridden at its limit to unlock its potential. Sure, for steep and deep performance, I want a hard-charging,…
Gun sales have been soaring in Virginia for months now. Ever since Democrats introduced legislation banning so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines, residents have been stocking up. Two months ago, sales in the state were double what they were in May, 2025, and when the NSSF releases its adjusted NICS checks for June later today, I expect that the number will be even higher. One last trip to the gun store today. The lines were ungodly. The AR section looked like a turkey carcass the day after Thanksgiving.But people were still picking over the…
The Department of Justice isn’t waiting around for someone else to defend the Second Amendment. On Wednesday, the DOJ filed two separate lawsuits against California and Virginia, arguing both states crossed the constitutional line by banning firearms that millions of Americans lawfully own. Taken together, the lawsuits send a clear message: the Trump administration intends to use the federal government not just to defend federal gun laws. But to challenge state gun restrictions it believes violate the Constitution. California: DOJ Targets Glock Ban The first lawsuit takes aim at California’s newly enacted “Glock Ban,” along with the state’s long-running Handgun…
Making the right car-buying decision can be tough, but we’ll help you figure it out. Buying a vehicle is a major decision for any household, but military families often have additional factors to consider. Frequent PCS moves, changing family needs, and the demands of military life can make choosing the right vehicle even more important. One of the first questions you’ll need to answer is whether to buy new, used, or certified pre-owned (CPO). Each option has its own advantages, from lower upfront costs to warranty coverage and the latest safety technology. Understanding the pros and cons of each can…
Recreational anglers in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina were supposed to start a 62-day Atlantic red snapper season today. But a May court order, followed by NOAA’s June 29 rescission of the state permits, kept the opener from happening. For now, recreational red snapper harvest in South Atlantic federal waters remains closed. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia halted Exempted Fishing Permits that NOAA Fisheries had issued to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina on May 21. Those permits would have allowed participating private and for-hire anglers to keep red snapper during longer state-managed seasons…
The U.S. Supreme Court just agreed to hear what could become the biggest Second Amendment case since Bruen. On Monday, the Court granted review in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, two closely watched lawsuits challenging so-called assault weapon bans in Illinois and Connecticut. For gun owners, it’s the case many have been waiting for. For gun-control advocates, it’s one they hope the Court gets right for very different reasons. Everytown: These Laws Save Lives Everytown Law welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the cases, saying the justices should ultimately uphold the bans. “Assault weapons cause massive…

The budding Switchback trade show held its second annual standalone event in New Orleans last week, and while it’s a far cry from the heyday of Outdoor Retailer — around 200 brands versus more than 1,000 — the gear on display was cutting-edge. Overall, the show was a concentrated convergence of top brands previewing 2027 gear — from running and hiking, to camping, biking, climbing, and even some noteworthy lifestyle products. In addition to next year’s launches, there were some in-line products from brands I hadn’t seen before. Here’s a rundown of the very best on display at the Switchback Spring product…
Uncontrolled wildfires continued to spread through Colorado and Utah this week, prompting evacuations and requests for residents to avoid fireworks. Several major wildfires continue to spread across the two states, with total acreage burned now exceeding 100,000. Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to the areas to contain the rapidly expanding blazes. But local authorities have urged many to evacuate public lands under threat from the fires, especially campers and others enjoying them near the fires. In both states, officials have asked many residents to avoid using fireworks — even as the country prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary this…
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey is rolling out sweeping security measures for the upcoming NATO summit, deploying tens of thousands of police and placing air defenses on high alert, while banning public gatherings and imposing controversial restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly. That’s meant to safeguard the summit, but also to display strength and underscore Turkey’s commitment to the military alliance, even as it is often portrayed as an outlier within it. On July 7–8, leaders from all 32 member states are expected convene in the Turkish capital, including U.S. President Donald Trump, whose threats to withdraw from NATO…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog: The Earthquakes Just Won’t Stop: The New Madrid Fault And The Cascadia Subduction Zone Both Get Shaken As The Warnings Continue How much shaking is it going to take before most of the population starts paying attention? The ground underneath our feet just keeps shaking. Nobody can deny this. As you will see below, there has been a long list of large earthquakes that have hit our planet over the past week, and this is something that I have been writing about a lot in recent days. What we…
A year after its passage, Rhode Island’s prohibition on the sale, manufacture and transfer of so-called assault weapons takes effect today, as does an almost identical law in Virginia. Unlike Virginia, though, Rhode Island’s law is not subject to any kind of injunction barring enforcement, at least not yet. So, just like in the Old Dominion, gun stores were swamped with customers in the days before the ban took effect. At Surplus Provisions & Firearms in Warwick, customers lined up Tuesday to pick up firearms before the midnight deadline.”We have people that had started to line…
The U.S. Marine Corps Installations and Logistics Enterprise (MCILE) 2026 plan outlines the strategic vision to sustain the force in an era of persistent global competition, including a “3-1-5” framework that bolsters wartime posture. The recently released plan, titled “The Reference A for Marine Corps Installations and Logistics,” consists of a 27-page document detailing how the Corps will generate, deploy and sustain combat-credible forces to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving security environment. It is described by officials as serving as a “Reference A” for installations and logistics, providing a single, authoritative description of the current state, ongoing modernization…
Bans on so-called assault weapons aren’t new. They also don’t work. The federal ban, which *sunsetted* in 2006, was touted as causing a downturn in the homicide rate, but mostly until people realized that the homicide rate was already trending downward, and then it continued to do so after the ban sunset. In other words, it accomplished nothing. Nevertheless, anti-gunners keep pushing them, and now their luck has run out.As reported on Tuesday by a dashing and handsome writer here at Bearing Arms–or, more accurately, yours truly, who is arguably neither of those things–the Supreme…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz while using a route not approved by Iran, state television in Tehran reported Wednesday. The vessel was identified as a foreign container ship, with no other details. The report appeared aimed at underlining Tehran’s claims to control the strait, which the world has long considered an international waterway. It saw a fifth of all oil and natural gas pass through it in peacetime. Iran has used its ability to choke off the waterway as a key source of leverage since the war began, disrupting global…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new Defense Policy Board includes former elected officials, conservative policy figures, defense technology investors, China hawks, nuclear policy specialists and longtime Republican operatives. The Defense Policy Board was established in 1985 to provide independent strategic advice to the defense secretary, deputy secretary and undersecretary for policy. Its work can involve long-term defense planning, force modernization, regional defense policy and other national security issues referred by Pentagon leadership. That advisory role makes the board’s membership important. Hegseth removed members of several Pentagon advisory boards in 2025 after a review meant to align those panels with the department’s…
A U.S.-brokered agreement between Israel and Lebanon is being presented as a step toward ending months of war. It may also leave the hardest facts unresolved: Israeli forces remain on Lebanese territory, many in Lebanon have been killed or displaced, and Lebanon is being asked to disarm Hezbollah before Israel fully withdraws. The current conflict began on March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets and drones into northern Israel after U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Hezbollah said the attack was retaliation for the strikes on Iran and for Israel’s continuing military operations inside…
A historian and podcast host drew more than 1.1 million impressions on Instagram after criticizing the White House’s Freedom 250 website over what she described as AI-generated images and historically inaccurate depictions of women connected to the American Revolution. Isabelle Roughol, host of the women’s history podcast “Broad History,” posted a video calling out images on the Freedom 250 site’s “Ladies of the Revolution” section, including images she said were presented as Abigail Adams and Dolley Madison. The White House’s Freedom 250 page describes the initiative as part of the national buildup to July 4, 2026, when the United States…
