This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. Ten years ago, as the world’s governments met in Paris and agreed to eventually force policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions on their respective populations, combating climate change was seen as a major political issue. Then, when Trump and other populist right-wingers began finding political success, climate arguably became the primary issue that helped unify the establishment centrists, moderate left-liberals, and far-left progressives who made up the broad anti-Trump, anti-populist coalition. Fanatical climate alarmism became a way to demonstrate one’s anti-Trump credibility and a way for Trump’s opponents in media, academia, and…
Some boots make an impression for a season or two. The Scarpa Maestrale ($799) and Maestrale RS ($899) have stayed with me for more than a decade. I first skied a version of the Maestrale in 2010, and it has been a constant in my backcountry kit ever since. It has carried me through early-season firm snow in the Tetons, thigh-deep laps in Utah, hut trips in Colorado, and cold ridge walks on fourteeners. I added the Maestrale RS to my rotation about 5 years ago and was immediately struck by its warmth, power, and more assertive downhill performance. Each…
The Second Amendment should be a bipartisan issue. Everyone should respect the right to keep and bear arms, if for no other reason than they don’t trust the other guy with an absolute monopoly on gun possession when they’re in the Oval Office and have control of Congress, which swings back and forth with regularity. But the American left isn’t generally a fan of gun rights. There are exceptions, but those are the outliers among people on the left.Unless, of course, they’re leftist domestic terrorists. Then, all bets are off.And a group calling itself the…
I’m on a kick of just finding the cheapest products I can and reviewing them. I want to see how the budget market has changed. The Cyelee WOLF0 is probably the cheapest, somewhat name-brand pistol red dot on the market. I previously reviewed the CAT0 from Cyelee, which they sent me. I’m guessing they didn’t care for the review and left me to read the next name. I contacted them. Is a $106 optic worth it? This WOLF0 was purchased by me for $106, making it exceptionally affordable. The WOLF0 is an RMR footprint optic, and I equipped it to…
The earthquake that struck Myanmar in March 2025 left a huge impact on Yoon Myat Su Lin. The death, destruction, and fallout from that tragedy stuck with the 22-year-old Myanmar fashion student studying at Esmod Tokyo. So, Lin started thinking outside of the box — way outside of it — and began designing an outfit she’s calling the “Adaptable Shelterwear Collection.” “Seeing how suddenly people can lose their homes made me think about clothing not just as fashion, but as something that could protect and support people in emergency situations,” Lin told GearJunkie. “I wanted to imagine clothing as a portable shelter…
Images by the author. All photos were taken of the actual product. When you commence to shootin’, you find that you need more “stuff” to help with your new hobby. From simple targets to gun oil to screwdrivers, you’ll find that the more accessories and tools you have, the easier it is to engage in your hobby. With Christmas exactly 10 days away as I write this, I thought it couldn’t hurt to share with readers some very useful tools and accessories I have collected. Some of these will fall into the “stocking stuffer” class, while others will be firmly…
If you ask him, James Nash says he’s just a normal American guy with an abnormally organized truckbed, thanks to DECKED’s drawer systems. He grew up on an Oregon ranch, trapping gophers and working as a pack horse hunting guide in high school. He also wrestled so well that he moved to Norway for a year to train professionally. His career choices varied after that. He earned a college scholarship for riding rodeo broncos, and paid the rest of his tuition by working as a wildland firefighter in the summer. He rappelled from helicopters deep in the wilderness to fight…
I’m not a golf fan. Golf seems like a waste of a perfectly good gun range, but a lot of people like it. It seems like it’s one of those games that’s better to play than to watch, I suppose. But even so, I know who some of the best in that game are. Phil Mickelson is definitely one of them, but other than being really good at hitting a tiny ball in a game known in part for silly pants, I don’t know much about the guy.What I do know, though, is that while…
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is once again blaming Republican lawmakers for his own unwillingness to call a special session on gun control. As the governor signed a pair of executive orders on Tuesday meant to promote the use of the state’s “red flag” law and create a working group to develop a “comprehensive blueprint” for violence prevention (i.e., gun control), Walz pointed the finger at Republicans in the state House for not going along with his call to ban so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines. The chair of the Republican Party called Walz’s orders…
It’s officially porch-pirate season. Amazon boxes are stacking up, Ring cameras are working overtime, and thieves are cruising neighborhoods like it’s Black Friday every day. It’s frustrating. It’s infuriating. And this holiday season, it’s also getting people arrested. A recent case out of Atlanta is a loud, flashing reminder of a hard truth for gun owners: you can’t shoot someone over stolen packages. According to police, two teenagers approached a home on Celeste Lane after spotting packages freshly dropped off by a delivery truck. Before they ever made it to the porch, the homeowner opened fire. Both teens were hit.…

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said that the United States is not in a position to be critical of Venezuela’s ruler. The U.S. should refrain from lecturing other countries, too, after the controversial victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, Lukashenko added. In an interview with the U.S. media network Newsmax, excerpts of which were previewed by Belarusian media on Tuesday, Lukashenko commented on Washington’s strained relations with Caracas, including its refusal to recognize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as the country’s legitimate leader. “Americans are in no position to count votes in Venezuela,” Lukashenko said. “Do you remember how Trump…

The shooting at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine others was tragic on its own. CNN decided that wasn’t enough. Instead of reporting the facts and letting the investigation unfold, CNN used the attack as a vehicle to push its familiar gun-control narrative by citing long-debunked data from the Gun Violence Archive. In a non-bylined story published Monday morning titled “Manhunt for Brown University shooter enters third day as person of interest released,” CNN injected the following claim into the third paragraph: “The carnage followed at least 75 school shootings in the United States this year. So…
A Florida senator is proposing an expansion of the state’s Guardian program that was established after the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2018; one that would allow college and university professors, faculty, and teaching assistants to legally carry a firearm openly or concealed on campus. Sen. Don Gaetz describes the bill as “sadly timed” and says he never wanted to file legislation like this, but with several high-profile shooting incidents on university campuses around the country this year, including a shooting on the campus of Florida State University back in…
I know that Slate and I aren’t likely to find ourselves on the same page very often. It’s Slate and, well, I’ll never be without some kind of lobotomy. That’s fine, though, because I’d need that lobotomy to want to write for Slate. And I knew somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my subconscious that after Brown University and Bondi Beach, I’d be addressing something from Slate, and here we are.You see, a couple of professors from Amherst decided to take to the pages of the website to tell us that we’re taking the…
European nations are constructing a defensive wall along NATO’s eastern frontier as Western intelligence agencies warn Russia could be militarily capable of attacking the alliance within five years. To assist with the construction of defensive works, German forces are returning to the region on a permanent basis for the first time since World War II.Lithuania also announced Monday it will build a major training facility near the strategically critical Suwalki Gap, part of a coordinated effort which includes tank production, physical fortifications and permanent troop deployments designed to deny Russia any opportunity to sever the Baltic states from NATO. The…
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation (“BBC”), alleging the broadcaster deceptively edited clips from his 6 January 2021 speech to make it appear he incited violence during the Capitol riot. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, claims the BBC intentionally and maliciously spliced together segments of his speech – separated by over 54 minutes – to falsely suggest he urged supporters to march on the Capitol and “fight like hell.” The BBC…
