Trump Halts Second Wave of Venezuela Strikes As Global Outrage Grows Over Maduro Abduction American forces carried out a series of airstrikes on the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and several other regions of the country on January 3, while US commandos abducted Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

On January 1, 2026, Tennessee became the first state to launch a public registry for repeat domestic violence offenders, marking a historic step in protecting potential victims and raising awareness about this pervasive issue. Known as Savanna’s Law, the legislation establishes a database maintained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) that lists individuals convicted of multiple domestic violence-related offenses. The registry includes key details such as the offender’s name, date of birth, photograph, conviction dates, and counties of conviction. Notably, it excludes sensitive information like home addresses or Social Security numbers to balance public safety with privacy concerns. …

Less than 3 months after filing for unionization, the ski patrol at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has concluded its effort to unionize. On Nov. 20, 2025, the group filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. After several months of organizing, 93% of the 88 patrollers signed the petition to form a union. Like other ski patrol outfits that have unionized in Park City and Telluride, patrollers in Jackson Hole argued that wages were not keeping pace with the high cost of living in the resort community they serve. Teton County is one of…

In 2018, Adam and Jodi Brunjes came up with an interesting idea, bringing together military veterans, first responders, police officers, firefighters and a few emergency room doctors for a few friendly, yet competitive hockey games to relieve stress and raise money for local fundraisers.What started out small in 2018 as the “Blue Warriors,” has morphed into the Brave Warriors Hockey Foundation, a nonprofit league in Colorado featuring 17 teams. Games serve as charitable events to support those who serve their communities and help save lives. Adam Brunjes, president and CEO of the Brave Warriors Hockey Foundation, knows some of the challenges…

If the world voted on who had the best car culture, which country do you think would win? It’s quite possible that Japan’s car culture would come out on top. It’s an artistic blend of highly modified JDM (Japanese domestic market) cars, a massive drift scene, and enthusiast car gatherings that are off the scale. I visited the Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS) show this year to see what’s trending for 2026 and what’s available for the outdoor enthusiast with an eye toward car camping, overlanding, and off-road adventure. Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 (Photo/Derek Mau) TAS is considered one of the…

Army troops from the 29th Chemical Decontamination Company backed several trucks onto LST-353 at 3:08 p.m. on May 21, 1944.

It didn’t take long for the Florida House to approve a bill that would allow adults 18 and older to once again purchase long guns in the state, undoing a measure adopted after the Parkland shootings in 2018 that raised the age to purchase a firearm to 21. The 2026 session kicked off in Tallahassee on Tuesday, and by Thursday afternoon the repeal bill had already cleared the lower chamber in a 74-37 vote.  House Majority Leader Tyler Sirois, a Merritt Island Republican who is sponsoring this year’s bill, said the Parkland shooting was a…

As pro-rights groups continue to call for the abolition of what remains of the National Firearms Act (NFA), they are having to battle the Trump Administration, along with a largely uninterested Congress in the process. When President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill back on July 4, it contained a provision that removed the $200 tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns  (SBSs) and guns defined as Any Other Weapons (AOWs) under the act. With the tax removed and the NFA unnecessary, gun-rights supporters are seeking to end the NFA through legislation and in the courts. Unfortunately,…

This article was originally published by G. Calder at The Exposé. In January 2025, silver traded as low as $30 per ounce. Yesterday – just twelve months later – it surpassed $93, recording an all-time high. This isn’t a short-lived spike driven by speculation alone – its surge follows tightening physical supply, rising industrial demand, and growing geopolitical influence over critical materials. Its late 2025 rally – shooting from $45/oz on 28 October to $83 just two months later – initially looked like a short burst before dropping immediately after. But since the New Year, the price run-up has continued,…

The Krassenstein brothers aren’t anything special. They’re loud voices on Twitter/X who are probably best known off that platform for suing Donald Trump for blocking them on the platform. That’s the decision that found that a politician’s social media is considered a public forum and they can’t block voters. Brian and Ed Krassenstein are loud, but they’re also fairly typical of many on that side of the aisle.And that means they talk a lot of crap about things they know nothing about, particularly guns. After all, let’s check this bit out.So does recoil from shooting…
