American soldiers dug foxholes into the ridgeline at Djebel Chambi. They had only arrived in North Africa a few weeks ago and faced light resistance from Vichy French troops. The infamous Afrika Korps under Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had just launched a massive offensive the day prior. The Americans knew what was coming.They were eager to fight the Germans and felt they were ready to do so.Upon hearing movement in the darkness on February 20, 1943, the Americans on the hill shot flares into the sky that illuminated the hilltop. They were stunned by waves of Italian infantry with their…

In July of 2025, the streak of months with over one million gun sales was broken after six years. That’s a pretty impressive run, but with less chance of infringement from the federal government, it’s not overly surprising that it eventually came to an end. However, the break was also short-lived as the next month hit that mark, a trend that continued throughout the rest of 2025.Gun sales might be somewhat lower than last year, but recently reported totals from December and all of 2025 indicate a continued vigorous market for firearms.In fact, the new…
While most kids his age would likely spend a Saturday morning sleeping in, teenager Josh Bourbon had a better idea – honoring soldiers from his area’s Civil War past. Honoring the PastBourbon, a life scout with Troop 32 in West Dundee, Illinois, spent the Saturday morning of Oct. 18 scraping off peat moss and the other blemishes from headstones that date back more than a century. With a pack of volunteers, Bourbon led a cleanup crew that brought a little more shine and honor to Union soldiers buried in the Dundee Township Cemetery. To help complete his project, Bourbon received sponsorship from…

As much as gun-rights activists and pro-rights politicians have embraced the new Second Amendment Section within the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) civil rights division, anti-gun advocates somehow hate the new office even more.That was made evident by a January 5 letter written to the DOJ by two longtime gun-ban advocates in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, jointly penned a letter criticizing the new office, which is intended to protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights from infringements by all levels of government. As Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division,…
The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that, in order for a modern gun law to be constitutionally sound, it must comply with the text of the Second Amendment as well as the history and tradition of gun ownership (and gun regulation). So far, though, the Court hasn’t given a whole lot of advice as to what constitutes a national tradition. In Bruen, SCOTUS doubted that “just three colonial regulations could suffice to show a tradition of public-carry regulation,” but declined to state definitely what would suffice; both in terms of the number of laws as well as when those laws…
This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute. After the failures of socialism—economically, historically, and ethically—the Left-liberal intellectuals, not wanting to abandon socialism, employed several new strategies. It has been suggested that these several manifestations can be subsumed under one general category—postmodernism. After a review of postmodern philosophy and philosophical influences, Stephen Hicks explains his central argument in Explaining Postmodernism: “Postmodernism is the academic far Left’s epistemological strategy for responding to the crisis caused by the failures of socialism in theory and in practice.” In other words, once socialism was discredited theoretically, economically (in several ways), historically, and ethically, those who were still ideologically committed to…

A common refrain from gun rights advocates–common because it’s true–is that gun control will work just as well as drug control has worked. After all, we just removed a dictator from Venezuela for his role in funneling cocaine into the United States. We’re still fighting the Mexican cartels to try and keep them from funneling their products onto American streets, and we have the Chinese helping the fentanyl trade. Drugs are all over the place, and despite being restricted even more tightly than guns are in many ways, we’re not doing a lot to stop…

After a long day outside leading a backcountry hut trip in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, I couldn’t hang up my ski bibs. It was 5 p.m. I was co-guiding six middle-school children on their inaugural hut trip, a culmination of an after-school backcountry program. There was one more task: I needed to shuttle a 14-year-old to the trailhead. They had a ski competition the next morning. Fortunately, the Jones Men’s Shralpinist Recycled GORE-TEX ePE Ski Bibs were up to the workload. Throughout testing, these tenacious, sustainable bibs endured long backcountry hours and back-to-back stormy days. In short: If you’re a splitboarder, mountaineer, or skier…
During tactical fitness lift cycles, the primary focus is to build strength and, for some, gain mass, especially for athletes with an endurance background who need to put on weight. However, the secondary focus is to maintain cardiovascular conditioning through running, rucking and/or swimming, depending on the training or job the athlete is preparing for. Here is a typical leg day routine we have the athletes do who need a foundation of strength, load-bearing stamina, and to maintain their cardio fitness for the variety of testing and events in military training:Warmup: Squat/Toe Touch/Run Pyramid Build up to 10 reps; jog 100 meters…
