Gun control advocates continue to maintain that gun control works, that passing laws restricting the right to keep and bear arms on law-abiding citizens somehow keeps criminals from getting guns. They even have (incredibly flawed and unserious) studies that “prove” this. Yeah, right.Of course, it might be easier to believe that if I didn’t see countless news reports every single day of the week regarding felons being arrested for possessing firearms, to say nothing of other things like drugs. In fact, I suspect most such arrests never really make the news unless the arrest included something…
A 27-year-old accused of murdering a man near Boston Common early Wednesday morning was out on bond after being arrested on gun charges earlier this summer. CBS Boston reports that Ashlie Jeremie is also suspected of assaulting another man with a metal pole about four hours after the murder in downtown Boston. So why was Jeremie out on the streets after his arrest just a few months ago? According to court documents obtained by WBZ-TV, Jeremie was arrested back on May 18 after he allegedly tried to bring a loaded handgun in a backpack into the Tip…
House lawmakers plan to “fight” against a proposal to extend U.S.-Israel military cooperation that was passed in the annual defense spending bill. The House of Representatives approved its version of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on July 21 by a 216-212 vote, authorizing roughly $1.15 trillion in national security spending while establishing policy priorities for the Department of Defense (DOD) for the coming fiscal year. One of the parts of the bill, Section 2019, would expand U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation. It has been overwhelmingly supported by House Republicans while House Democrats have been split on its…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Somehow we have convinced ourselves that AI companies that are bleeding billions upon billions of dollars are great investments because there is a possibility that someday they will eventually become profitable. But the losses just keep getting even bigger every year. Meanwhile, we are spending trillions of dollars to build even more AI infrastructure. There is no way that the AI industry is ever going to generate the sort of revenue that will justify that level of investment. What we are witnessing is a capital misallocation of…
We’ve been covering the anti-gun shenanigans in the U.S. Virgin Islands for quite awhile now. As an American territory, lawmakers there are bound by the same constitutional limits as any state, but like so many states, they think the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to them. So, they keep trying to tighten the noose on the right to keep and bear arms.Lately, though, as we’ve noted previously, they’re not having the best string of luck. In fact, based on everything we’re seeing, it must really suck to be an anti-gunner there right now unless you have…
It can happen in an instant: You trip over a tree root, a rock you think is stable begins to move, or you slip on a steep downhill. In a flash, you’re on the ground, and you’ve wound up with a sprained ankle. This injury happens to hikers everywhere all the time, but for visitors to one national park, it’s especially pervasive. In Acadia National Park, trail and weather conditions frequently combine to produce the perfect storm for “Acadia Ankle”: broken, sprained, or otherwise hurt ankles. Here’s why it happens, and what visitors can do to stay safe. What the…
Homicides in the United States are the lowest they’ve been since at least 1960, and according to some researchers the murder rate may actually be the lowest in 150 years. That should be cause for celebration, yet when former congresswoman Gabby Giffords addressed anti-violence activists at the Giffords-sponsored Community Violence Intervention Conference in Los Angeles, CA this week, the gun control activist made it sound like the United States was in the grips of a crime wave. “We are at a crossroads. We can let the shooting continue, or we can act,” said Giffords, who survived…
Nintendo Switch 2 may soon add one of the most acclaimed horror games of the past decade, as a dedicated version of SOMA has begun appearing on the platform’s official digital storefronts. The Nintendo Switch 2 has been on a spree of enhanced ports from third-party publishers since launch, with a sizable lineup of horror games hitting the console recently. Although SOMA may be over a decade old, it fits comfortably into the Switch 2’s growing selection of horror games. The console’s current library has seen an influx of respected titles in the genre, ranging from action-heavy survival horror games…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday narrowly passed a resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, sending a warning to President Donald Trump for the second time as the war has escalated and the future of the conflict is increasingly uncertain. The 214-208 vote requiring congressional approval for the war comes as the Senate is expected to consider a similar resolution later Thursday morning. Though the votes forced by Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a strong signal to the Republican president that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on…
I’m always amused when I see anti-gun activists claim to be moderate and only in favor of a few “common sense measures,” when the gun control lobby is busy pushing laws that criminalize basic aspects of our right to keep and bear arms. Khary Penebaker, who’s been involved with Everytown and Moms Demand Action, tried using this approach on X, and things did not go well for him. Dear responsible gun owners: the laws we are asking for would not touch you. Background checks, safe storage, red flags. If your rifle is locked and your record…
Traditionally, open-world RPGs are some of the longest games there are, requiring real dedication from players. What’s more, in many cases the base game is just the beginning. Going for the fullest editions available to experience absolutely everything the title has to offer can easily stretch to over 200 hours, resulting in months of intense play before finally rolling the credits. For this list, I decided to focus on the fullest editions of some of the longest open-world RPGs available that can take forever to beat, ranking them by playtime. I use the “Main+Extra” figures from HowLongToBeat for each, as…
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that the Trump administration is poised to help end the “senseless war” in Ukraine but acknowledged there is no quick path to a deal, saying diplomacy will require sustained effort and new ideas. Rubio, who held talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in the Philippine capital, alluded to how U.S.-mediated talks have stalled. He called them “unsuccessful or at least unfruitful” in the past but insisted that President Donald Trump was committed to the work “if conditions and factors have changed to make that possible.” “That’s been…
The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General gave a statement about forthcoming enforcement dates on the Third Circuit ruling. The office has just backtracked a little with a new update. As previously reported, New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport’s office gave Bearing Arms a statement about an enforcement timeline on the recent U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision. The court invalidated New Jersey’s laws on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity limits. There’s been a lot of speculation on when the ruling is actually in effect and there’s new insight on when to…
This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News. Beltline Energy, a data center developer, is planning a $15 billion artificial intelligence data center campus near Yukon, Oklahoma. Residents like Pencia Truhan have expressed concerns over a lack of transparency, particularly regarding water consumption, according to reporting from NaturalNews.com. The developer barred media from meetings and asked local officials to sign nondisclosure agreements, fueling opposition. Local officials across the United States have raised similar concerns as rapid data center construction accelerates, according to an article by Petra Stone. The article stated that mayors are sounding alarms about data centers…
When the National Firearms Act was defended before the courts, the argument was that it wasn’t gun control. It was a tax. The only reason for registration, you see, was simply to make sure the tax was paid. Seems reasonable enough, at least from a legal standpoint. Taxes are, unfortunately, legal, even if they are theft, and having a way to verify the tax was paid on an item makes sense so as not to penalize people for non-payment after they’d paid. But now the tax is gone, dead as Hillary Clinton’s presidential dreams.The registration,…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhen it all goes sideways, your plan comes down to one thing: getting to your kid. For most parents, that’s simple enough. Everybody’s under one roof. But if you’re divorced and sharing custody, your kid might be at a house you can’t just walk into, with someone who doesn’t prep and may not want your help. And this is far from a rare situation. According to U.S. Census Bureau figures, more than 1 in 4 American kids, which is about 22 million children under the age of 21, have a parent living outside their…

CAIRO (AP) — Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said early Thursday they had attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, and the U.S. military conducted a 12th night of strikes against Iran as the two countries vie for control of vital shipping lanes. The Houthi attack threatened to open a new front in a war that has roiled the global economy, sending prices for fuel and other goods surging across the world. With the standoff in the Gulf deepening, there were no signs of progress in diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. U.S. Central Command said its strikes were…
