A divided Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an en banc review of a decision upholding California’s ban on switchblades, a decision that led one of the eight dissenting judges to declare it’s time for the Supreme Court to “consider summarily reversing some of our wayward Second Amendment decisions.” Putting it in less legal terms, Judge Lawrence VanDyke declared “it’s time for some benchslaps.” The en banc denial in Knife Rights v. Bonta is based on the fact that the plaintiffs brought a facial challenge to the ban, according to the three judges who offered…

The U.S. Navy is reviewing a Blue Angels flyover after one of the squadron’s jets flew lower than its standard profile over a crowded shoreline at Pensacola Beach, Fla., on Wednesday morning, drawing both praise and concern across social media and prompting a response from the service. Every summer, crowds gather on Pensacola Beach in the early morning to open air show week the same way, with coffee and lawn chairs and the low rumble of jets somewhere out over the Gulf. On Wednesday, the rumble arrived closer than anyone expected. A Blue Angels jet came in low over the…

Learn More From Central Florida to the Keys, the end of the Florida peninsula is a complicated place, to say the least. The ecology is endlessly dynamic — thanks to the fluid boundary between freshwater wetlands, the coastal buffer of mangrove forests, and rich saltwater estuaries — and at risk, thanks to mankind’s attempts to control it.  It’s one giant ecosystem, not only interconnected by complex hydrology, but also by a distinct culture of caretakers. A few anglers, with lives oriented around these wild and precious waters,…

Look, I get that guns aren’t something your average Democrat seems to understand. The fact that most of the ones we encounter who seem into guns are trying to kill somebody on the right doesn’t exactly help all that much. So, when someone like James Talarico spouts off on the topic, you need to expect a certain degree of ignorance, at best. More likely, it’s stupidity, though, because Talarico is in Texas. He could learn if he wanted to.And the fact that he hasn’t is a major problem for him, at least as the National…

Slate announced the price of its back-to-basics electric pickup truck in June, but not the destination charge. That fee is a mandatory, non-negotiable price that every automaker adds to the sticker, and it can vary from company to company. Much attention has been given to destination fees in the last several years, as they’ve steadily increased across the board. So when Slate said its barebones truck started at $24,950, it fell squarely into Slate’s mid-$20,000 range the company promised. But we also knew the destination charge would change that – possibly by a significant margin. So, is this still a…

In a statement on Tuesday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accused Washington of acting like “pirates” by restricting energy flows in the region. The IRGC further warned that regional oil and gas exports could be blocked completely in response to the United States’ attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz. “Regional oil and gas exports are either for everyone or for no one,” the statement said. This warning came as the IRGC claimed a new strike on US military infrastructure in Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet and serves as one of Washington’s main naval hubs in…

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has found another city in the Sunshine State that appears to be non-compliant with the state’s carry laws. Uthmeier has sent a letter to officials in Winter Garden, Florida warning that the prohibition on “weapons” and “firearms” at the city’s Tucker Ranch Recreation and Nature Complex is illegal and the “no guns allowed” signs must be removed.  Uthmeier’s missive notes that Florida’s firearm preemption law prohibits political subdivisions like the Orlando suburb of Winter Garden from setting their own policies on firearms, and calls out another locality that impermissibly crossed…

A man pleaded guilty Wednesday to strangling his active-duty military spouse on multiple occasions while they were both overseas, and then lying to federal authorities about his actions. Antonio Jabar Floyd Jr., 38, of Florida, strangled his wife once in 2025 and again in 2026 while he was living with her overseas in Misawa, Japan, according to a Justice Department press release issued Wednesday. The wife’s service information was not provided. He pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence (strangulation) and one count of making false statements to a federal agency. He will be sentenced on Oct. 15 and…

Everyone in the Second Amendment community is rightly overjoyed that at long last, the Supreme Court will be deciding whether so-called “assault weapon” bans are constitutional. These bans on some of the most common guns in the country exist in about 10 or so states and prevent millions of Americans from owning AR-15s and similar rifles.  SAF is particularly ecstatic given that both cases granted review – Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins – are cases in which the organization is a plaintiff.The question presented, which the Court will answer, is: “Whether the Second and…

100 strangers recently attended a ceremony to honor two dead veterans in Tallahasee, Fla., after no family members came forward to claim their remains. The ceremony took place on Monday in appreciation of the veterans—Glenn Dorsey, a U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, and Mark Roy, a U.S. Army veteran—who had been considered “unclaimed” after no relatives, friends or legal representatives had said they were linked to the deceased men, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses the term “unclaimed veterans” to refer to situations where a next of kin or family member is known but…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  We Are Sleepwalking into a Global Collapse The mainstream media obsesses over oil prices. Every time a barrel jumps a few dollars, the pundits wring their hands. But they are missing the real story — the one that will crash civilization long before a gas pump runs dry. What I see, from my years tracking global supply chains, is a nightmare hidden beneath the headlines: the war with Iran is severing the arteries that carry downstream commodities — aluminum, fertilizer, diesel, plastics, helium — the very things that make…
