A federal lawsuit seeks to block Pentagon efforts to reshape Stars and Stripes, arguing recent policy changes threaten the editorial independence of the military newspaper that has served troops for generations. The lawsuit filed Wednesday comes after Defense Department leaders in January announced plans to “modernize” Stars and Stripes and refocus the publication on “reporting for our warfighters,” while moving away from what Pentagon officials called “woke distractions.” The announcement immediately raised questions about whether the department intended to narrow the scope of coverage at a news organization that has long operated with congressionally-backed editorial independence. Soldiers hold up the…

I’m not a big fan of HOAs as a general thing, and for a lot of reasons. Some are good, some aren’t, and they’re really attractive to the petty tyrants running around this country. To find out that a Florida HOA decided to ban guns in common areas didn’t actually surprise me, but it did bother me. That’s taking things way too far. And since this was in Florida, where the attorney general is a big fan of gun rights and the state’s preemption law, you just had to know something was going to happen.The…

If you’ve looked around YouTube lately and wondered why your favorite gun channels seem quieter, smaller, or harder to find, you’re not imagining things. According to Tactical Toolbox (TT), the tactical media space isn’t just experiencing a slowdown. It’s getting systematically buried. In a recent video, TT laid out what he believes is a platform-wide algorithmic squeeze that’s affecting nearly every major firearms, tactical, and Second Amendment-focused channel on YouTube.

Over the last decade, open-world games have become so ubiquitous that they almost seem passé, and new releases need to push themselves further than ever before to leave their mark. Otherwise, in 2035, they might find themselves featured in retrospective discussions about fantastic games forgotten by time and players. Let’s take a look at a few open-world titles that suffered that fate, out of no fault of their own. Naturally, most releases cannot possibly remain relevant indefinitely, especially if they don’t form part of a franchise that churns out sequels eternally or reach a level of acclaim that cements their…

Seth Wilmoth’s running project isn’t just punishing — it also sounds like a darn good time. Last month, the athlete tackled a marathon of marathons while traversing 340 miles, passing through all 13 of California’s varied geographical “ecoregions,” and raising over $10,000 to support public lands. Called “Project Gold Rush,” Wilmoth’s mission was both a grueling endurance challenge and a fundraiser for state parks — as well as a bit of a publicity stunt for Skechers. He used two models of the brand’s long-distance running shoes to complete the challenge (so no, he didn’t tackle the marathons in sneakers). Running…

The ATF is doing away with its “Demand 2” program, which placed additional requirements on gun shops that sold at least 25 firearms that were subject to a trace within a calendar year. Gun control groups claim that those FFLs must be doing something wrong to generate that many traces, and under the Biden administration groups like Brady and their allies in the media engaged in a campaign to name and shame those shops once they’d gained access to the list of FFLs who’d received Demand 2 letters.  Under the Trump administration the ATF is…

The fatal shooting of a naked, unarmed man by a Louisville Metro Police officer is drawing intense scrutiny as investigators examine whether the use of deadly force was justified. According to reporting by WHAS11, Louisville Metro Police Officer Nathan Stotts shot and killed 27-year-old Martin Nitzken Jr. on May 30 while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the city’s Klondike neighborhood. The incident has quickly become one of the most controversial officer-involved shootings in Louisville this year. Police Chief Paul Humphrey removed Stotts from his position just days after the shooting, a move legal observers say is unusual given…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information under a deal with the Justice Department that could allow him to avoid prison time, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday. The deal would resolve a criminal case filed in October that charged Bolton with 18 counts of either retaining or disseminating classified information, including diary-like notes from his time in government that officials say he shared with his family members as he was preparing a memoir about his time in office. Under the…

This article was originally published by Cassie B. at Natural News.  Russia produces 15,000 FPV drones daily, a 30-fold increase from 2023. Drones have evolved from reconnaissance tools to independent strike forces in Ukraine. Russian aviation production surged 117% year-on-year, dominated by low-cost FPVs.

State-level preemption of local gun laws is a very important issue, and states where it exists are constantly struggling to have it respected. Many such challenges don’t make big headlines, but I’ve seen it happen here in Georgia for years, long before Savannah decided to prosecute people who got their guns stolen out of their cars. In New Hampshire, the state is trying to expand its current preemption law, which most of us would say sounds like a good thing. Since they failed to pass campus carry, it would be nice to see something pro-gun…
