If you ever wondered what happens when a career ATF bureaucrat lands a soft seat at Everytown, here’s your answer. Marianna Mitchem left ATF in May 2025 and almost immediately surfaced at Everytown for Gun Safety. And she didn’t waste time easing into the role. According to one former ATF colleague, she reached out after leaving and tried to figure out how to target Glock and Glock-style pistols. That alone tells you what direction she was heading. Mitchem just helped roll out a long report titled The Supply Side of Violence How Gun Dealers Fuel Firearm Trafficking. It reads like…

The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right that was specifically enshrined in the Bill of Rights. It’s not supposed to be touched, much less taken away, and it’s insane just how much misinformation there is out there about what it means, what it was intended to do, and how we should proceed because of it. And much of the misinformation comes from supposedly educated people–a term that, in this day and age, only means you were indoctrinated to regurgitate certain bits of information in a university setting–who don’t know what the…

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., joined Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in a bid to block President Donald Trump from unilaterally launching any attacks against Venezuela. “I filed a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop Trump from starting another forever war,” Sen Tim Kaine said in a post on X. The United States has been bombing its way toward a war with Venezuela since it first struck, alleging that a narcotics trafficking boat was coming from Venezuela. No evidence to support the U.S.’s claims has ever been presented, and the boats…
At first glance, I wasn’t sure I was looking at the future of footwear. I stood on the edge of a cramped booth at the farthest edge of The Running Event in San Antonio. While dominated by running shoe reveals for the upcoming year, the show also housed a smattering of running-adjacent apparel, accessories, and — in the case of the “zipzōn” booth before me — whole new design innovations. A dozen people sat cheek-to-cheek, jigsawing into the 100 square feet of booth space, each with their own pair of retrofitted prototypes. They all had turquoise adidas shoes that zipzōn had outfitted…
This article was originally published by Cassie B. at Natural News. Cuba’s power grid collapsed again, causing widespread blackouts. The crisis stems from fuel shortages and an outdated, centralized system. Daily life is severely disrupted, with residents struggling for basic necessities. The U.S. grid faces similar vulnerabilities from aging infrastructure and foreign dependencies. America must act now to harden its grid and prevent a comparable catastrophe. The lights went out again in Havana this week, plunging millions into darkness and offering a real-time preview of a future no American should ever have to face. On Wednesday, a partial collapse of…
There are a lot of people out there in the media who are kind of delusional when it comes to guns. They report the anti-gun stuff with an incredible level of optimism that doesn’t seem based on anything other than the fact that they don’t talk to anyone who doesn’t work for Everytown, Giffords, Brady, or some similar group. Recently, in Washington state, their assault weapon ban survived one stage of the legal fight to overturn it.At least one person in the media seems realistic about how that’s likely to go in the long term.A…
A New Mission for One of the Army’s Most Iconic AircraftFor decades, the AH-64 Apache was built to destroy tanks and provide close support to troops on the ground. Now the Army is giving it a mission few expected: hunting drones.The rise of drone swarms in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and across the Middle East has pushed every service to rethink air defense. Fixed systems like Patriot, Avenger, and IFPC provide critical coverage, but they can’t be everywhere. The Army’s own analysis, echoed through congressional testimony and the Department of Defense’s 2024 Strategy for Countering Unmanned Systems, shows a widening…

If you own a handgun and take it anywhere, you need a method for transporting it. Just throwing it in the back seat isn’t exactly a brilliant idea. You either need a case or a holster, and which is best depends on exactly what you’re doing with it. But if you carry it, a holster is a must. In my home state of Georgia, it’s required for carry, but even if it’s not legally mandated, you should still do it.Why? Because it helps stop things from getting in the trigger guard and causing the gun…
Among the red-dot sights trusted on the front line is the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro. It’s an impressive optic in every respect. Leupold & Stevens has been in business since 1907, and they’ve earned a following in the shooting world for good reason. The DeltaPoint Pro works well on carbines and shotguns, but my focus here is handgun use. The build quality is excellent. Brightness is controlled by a single push button located on top of the battery compartment. The battery compartment itself opens with a spring-loaded catch and doesn’t require removing the sight. Simple and efficient. The sight window is…
The family of a 23-year-old Texas man is pleading for help from officials to spring him from the Mexican prison where he’s spent the last nine months on weapons charges. According to April Thomas, she was on the phone with her son Caden Hawkins on March 2 as we was trying to drive home after a work assignment near the U.S. – Mexico border. Hawkins apparently got lost and ended up south of the border, which Thomas only realized when she heard the sound of men speaking Spanish coming through the receiver. Hawkins filmed on his…
House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana is allegedly working behind the scenes to get rid of a provision mandating health care coverage for assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), for all active-duty service members from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).That is according to U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who told Military.com that Johnson is targeting TRICARE—the insurance plan for service members and their families outside of military facilities that covers IVF for everyone regardless of health situations. MS Now first reported the story.If the provision is stripped from the final version of the NDAA, it would prevent…
A while back, I posted an article about 20 survival items to buy before winter arrives. That list was mainly about things you should keep in your vehicle during the winter, but this one is about winter survival items in general.Every prepper worth their salt should be prepared to ride out an extended power outage. Doing this means stocking up on typical survival items like food, water, flashlights, medical supplies, and so forth. But preparing to do this in the winter requires an additional list. Below is a list of things you should add to your emergency supply for winter.Want…
One of the biggest barriers that people face when considering buying a cold plunge is the price. If you’re looking for a full-featured cold plunge tub with a chiller, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to over $10,000. Some of the plunges we’ve reviewed charge $2,500 or more just for the chiller. Which is why the most common question I’m asked as GearJunkie’s resident “cold plunge guy” is if there’s an affordable cold plunge that’s any good. My answer is always the Polar Dive PRO Cold Plunge ($899). While I was skeptical at first, after a few months…
Look, guns in schools might not be an automatically awful thing, but when those guns are in the hands of students instead of responsible adults, there’s a problem. That’s one of the few things we can all seem to agree on. And while AI is being looked at in a lot of places to detect firearms, the technology isn’t without its problems. I mean, at least one system thought a bag of Doritos was a gun.They might be banging, but that doesn’t make them a firearm.Yet in Gulf Breeze, Florida, police there are looking at…
