As a percentage of the total land area, the federal government owns more land in Nevada than anywhere else. Government agencies own about 81% of the state’s 70 million acres. Soon, however, that may begin to change. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) recently introduced a bill that would transfer over 10,000 acres of land from federal to local control. The measure has received criticism from some outdoor recreationists and support from public lands groups. The Bill: Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act Cortez Masto introduced the Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act to the Senate in March. The…

I’d never really heard anything about Nick Shirley before he uncovered the massive amounts of fraud among primarily Somali-owned day cares in Minnesota. Billions of taxpayer dollars were not just stolen, but at least some of it found its way into the bank accounts of terrorist organizations. The fraud was staggering to many Americans, who had just started to recover from all the insanity funded by USAID. While that dominated the news cycle for quite a while, at least in conservative media, Shirley didn’t rest on his laurels. He turned his attention to California, where…

I have been running the standard Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 as my deep-concealment carry gun for a good stretch now. Out of the last couple of years, it has hands down been my new favorite concealed carry piece in my current rotation. It disappears under a t-shirt better than just about anything else in my collection. When Gideon Optics released the Pebble reflex sight built around this exact pistol, I decided it was time to see if a dot could make the little .380 more than a last-ditch contact distance weapon. The S&W Bodyguard 2.0 The Bodyguard 2.0 itself needs…

Since Donald Trump took office in 2024, public lands and the agencies that support them have been the target of federal budget cuts, layoffs, and hiring freezes. Despite U.S. National Forests and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land generating massive economic output and providing millions of American jobs, funding for these agencies and others continues to shrink. Visitor experiences are being affected as a result. That’s why onX, All Trails, Patagonia, and 74 other outdoor brands and organizations signed a letter imploring Congress to fully fund the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and BLM for 2027. The recreation resources these agencies…

Earlier today I covered why one Supreme Court-watcher is optimistic about the justices taking up bans on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines next term, but those aren’t the only 2A issues that will be discussed in tomorrow’s conference. There are two cases making their first appearance in the justice’s closed door meeting that could be granted cert (or denied) as early as next Monday, and both are worth taking up… and talking about.  The first case is U.S. v. Peterson; a challenge to the National Firearms Act’s restrictions on suppressors. Specifically, the attorneys…

This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News.  Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept – it is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful and disruptive forces shaping the future of humanity, according to a recent report. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has issued a stark warning, describing AI as “a supersonic tsunami headed toward humanity.” [1] His concerns are echoed across the tech industry, with leaders predicting massive shifts in how people work, live, and think. International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva has warned that AI is hitting the global labor market “like a tsunami,”…

The fact that Ford sells an F-350 Super Duty with the Tremor off-roading package makes very little sense. And taking just about the biggest pickup truck for sale in America on a tough trail makes even less sense — especially on an F-350 that also features the King Ranch package and the enormous Godzilla V8 engine. Combined, the price tag for this F-350 just barely cracks into six figures, at $100,630 as tested. That figure might pale in comparison to a Raptor R or Ram TRX these days, in fairness. But the pricing and size make the Tremor package seem…

Gun Owners of America bills itself as a no-compromise gun rights organization, and they were a massive part of why we got what we got out of the One Big, Beautiful Bill concerning the Second Amendment. They weren’t alone, necessarily, but they fought hard, and we all saw it. Now, with the midterms coming up, a lot of gun rights supporters are wondering what happened to everything else we voted for. Yeah, we got a few wins from the White House, but we also got a couple of Ls from there, too. From Congress, we’ve…

The Vortex Veil 400 does not try to be a do-everything wonder gadget. It aims to be a simple, durable thermal monocular that helps hunters spot animals fast, move confidently in the dark, and get into the action without fighting menus or babying expensive gear. Vortex’s first thermal, the Veil 400, delivers a compact platform with fair image quality and a best-in-class lifetime warranty. It’s built for hunters who want a reliable thermal without unnecessary complexity. As Vortex’s first entry into the thermal market, it strikes a balance between usability and capability. More importantly, it sets a solid foundation for…

Rainwater harvesting is one of the best ways to save money on water and become more self-sufficient. But if you’ve looked into rain barrel systems, you know how expensive they can be. A single rain barrel costs $80 to $120. Fortunately, you can build a simple rainwater collection system using materials you can find at your local hardware store—all for less than $100. The key? Using a 32-gallon trash can as the main reservoir. I found this setup on the Youtube channel, Vibrant Deals. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! Here’s how…

California Congressman Eric Swalwell is out and the fallout is just getting started. According to coverage from NewsNation, Swalwell’s resignation was read on the House floor following a wave of allegations, including new claims that surfaced publicly this week. His attorney has denied the accusations and indicated legal action may follow against what they describe as false claims. Still, the situation escalated quickly. Commentators noted that in today’s political environment, scandals rarely stay hidden for long, with one panelist pointing out the “arrogance” it takes to believe serious allegations wouldn’t eventually come to light. Swalwell’s exit comes as scrutiny intensifies.…

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has done a good job of presenting himself to the media as a centrist Democrat. However, it’s also pretty clear that no matter where he stands on other issues, he’s in absolute lockstep with the most radical parts of the party on guns. After all, he vetoed two measures that were pro-gun, but shouldn’t have been remotely controversial. Unfortunately for Beshear, he’s the governor of Kentucky, and the legislature feels very differently about the Second Amendment.Kentucky lawmakers have overridden dozens of vetoes from Gov. Andy Beshear this week, including House Bill…
