This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. President Trump threatens a 5% tariff on Mexican imports unless Mexico releases water owed under a 1944 treaty. The dispute centers on an alleged shortfall of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of Rio Grande water destined for Texas. Texas farmers face significant agricultural challenges due to the water shortage, impacting crops and livestock. The 1944 treaty governs shared water resources but lacks strict enforcement mechanisms for non-compliance. The confrontation raises questions about balancing trade policy, international agreements, and domestic agricultural needs. In a move that intertwines trade policy, agricultural…
Ever since we bought a 2022 Subaru Crosstrek, my wife, Mercedes Lilienthal, and I wondered about finding a way to comfortably camp inside it. After all, being inside a vehicle offers extra protection from the elements, a quieter environment, and additional comforts. Enter Sleep Ride Solutions, a new company located in Portland, Ore. It offers compact wooden platforms to let you sleep inside a 2018–2023 Crosstrek. Simply move the front seats forward, fold the back seat down, and install. I found the company via a Facebook group, and reached out to owner/founder Dan Sepulveda, who had just launched the business.…

In the shadow of Albuquerque’s bustling gun shops, where owners like Arnie Gallegos of ABQ Guns meticulously scrutinize every transaction, New Mexico lawmakers are pushing yet another layer of firearm restrictions. Gallegos, a 15-year veteran at ABQ Guns, embodies the diligence already in place: He flags “unusual patterns” like weekly AR-15 buys, rejecting suspicious customers outright to safeguard his federal license. “If they can’t explain it convincingly, we’re done,” he says, echoing practices that could vanish under fear of retroactive prosecution. Yet leave it to anti-gun politicians to demand more infringements. The latest anti-2A proposed…
A late fall tradition for many motorists who live north of the 45th parallel is swapping out street tread under their vehicles for tires designed for winter driving conditions. This is to maximize safety when roads are frequently covered with snow and ice. I’m one of those motorists. Every year around Thanksgiving, depending on the weather, the floor jack and air wrench come out as I pull off the “all-season” summer tires and replace them with winter tires. This year, the annual swap meant changing out the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2 all-season tires under my Mazda CX-5 AWD for a…
The Justice Department’s new Second Amendment Section hasn’t taken any official action since its formation was announced late last week, but Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon says it will be aggressively challenging state and local gun laws and policies that are infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. During a recent appearance on The Joe Pags Show, Dhillon specifically brought up the District of Columbia’s carry laws, noting that it took her six days to get her carry permit (which, honestly, is much improved over the months-long delays that were common before the…
North Vietnamese negotiators walked out of peace talks in Paris on Dec. 13, 1972. They had just rejected American proposals and refused to set a date to resume discussions. Five days later, American B-52 bombers struck Hanoi in the most intensive bombing campaign in military history. Eleven days after that, North Vietnam requested new negotiations. Operation Linebacker II brought the communist government back to the negotiation table and led directly to the Paris Peace Accords signed Jan. 27, 1973.The bombing campaign sparked international condemnation and remains controversial five decades later. Critics called it barbaric. Supporters argued it achieved its objective. The historical…
United States President Donald Trump has given Volodymyr Zelensky only “days” to respond to the peace plan deal. The agreement would require Kiev to accept territorial losses to Russia in exchange for unspecified security guarantees. The US ruler submitted a peace plan in November that reportedly called for Ukraine to withdraw troops from part of Russia’s Donbass. Kiev currently controls that region, one of Moscow’s key conditions for a broad ceasefire. In early December, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), a Donbass city President Vladimir Putin has described as an important “bridgehead” for further offensives. Previously, this…
Chevrolet wants to say happy birthday, America! To put its mark on the 250-year celebrations in 2026, Chevrolet is launching a range of Corvettes and pickups called the Stars & Steel collection. Each one will get special graphics and trim, and the sale of each vehicle will mean a donation to nonprofits that support veterans. It’s a Party, But Not a Brash One (Photo/Chevrolet) For marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, these Stars & Steel Chevys are surprisingly subtle in their designs. If you were hoping for something more rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting…
For the past six months, Bearing Arms contributor John Petrolino has been covering the quiet revolution taking place across New Jersey, where a dozen communities have taken action to refund all or portions of the $150 that municipalities collect from every concealed carry application. The effort kicked off in Englishtown Borough back in June, and while eleven other municipalities have followed suit the campaign has received virtually no attention in the mainstream media… at least until now. As the Asbury Park Press reports, Toms River could become the 13th community (and largest to date) to…
The U.S. Navy and AI software and data giant Palantir are now intertwined in a nearly half-billion-dollar investment to accelerate artificial intelligence and autonomy technologies to develop what officials described as the complex, data heavy environment of shipbuilding.The $448 million strategic initiative in the Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS) unveiled Tuesday will be managed by the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) Program in collaboration with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), aggregating data from enterprise resource planning systems, legacy databases, and operational sources “to identify bottlenecks, streamline engineering workflows, and support proactive risk mitigation, providing a unified, data-driven approach to production management…

It’s no secret that CrossFit shoes aren’t great for running. Shoes that simply don’t hurt like hell during the run portion of a WOD are like gold to a CrossFitter. Creating a shoe that feels stable and supportive during a lift, yet pliable and responsive during a run, has always seemed like an impossible task. So, when the NOBULL Drive Ripstop ($150) arrived for me to test, I was understandably skeptical. At first glance, it appears more like a running shoe than a CrossFit shoe. The shoe has a noticeably thicker midsole than most CrossFit shoes, resulting in a higher…
Imagine the federal government decided it was going to confiscate a bunch of guns, and they were hoping the states would help. Now, some states wouldn’t balk in the least, but a lot of states would. I can see California jumping at the chance while Texas just points and laughs, for example. Up in the Great, White North, Canada had a similar scheme in mind.The idea was that while they were bound and determined to take away so-called assault weapons, they’d get the provinces to help.Nearly half of them have now decided to say, “Nah.…

President Donald Trump tried to focus on combating inflation during a speech while traveling in Pennsylvania. Yet the issue was quickly dropped in favor of complaining about immigration. This news comes after Vice President JD Vance literally said that immigration is destroying the American Dream. JD Vance: Mass Immigration Is Ruining The American Dream “Why is it we only take people from s—-hole countries, right?” Trump said onstage. “Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few?” Trump said he objected to taking immigrants from “hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” He added for…

To hear Brooklyn, New York, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez talk, you’d think that the so-called gun “buyback” that he has presided over for the past eight years is a life-saving tool that keeps his constituents safer. In a recent ny1.com report titled “Brooklyn gun buyback draws 160 weapons, officials say,” DA Gonzalez hyped up the recent compensated turn-in like it was the answer to every community’s criminal violence problem. What he didn’t say, however, is that a major study disproves everything he seems so proud of. “There’s so many people who have access to firearms and they don’t know how…
It’s darkly humorous to me how often anti-Second Amendment types see some kind of gun control law as the ultimate solution to everything. They pretend that this law will stop mass shootings, regular murders, suicides, domestic violence, type 2 diabetes, conflict in the Middle East, and Christmas’s encroachment into the rest of the year. It’s funny how often they try that crap, and how often the media pretends they’re hearing BS and mistaking it for brilliance.But there is one little change that could be made that would reduce a whole lot of problems. I’m honest…
