As part of the Democrats’ failed efforts to pass a gun and magazine ban in Minnesota this year, a number of communities in the state adopted local ordinances of their own prohibiting commonly-owned arms like AR-15s. Though the ordinances were written so that they would only take effect if Minnesota’s firearm preemption law is ever repealed, the MN Gun Owners Caucus has launched several lawsuits against the measures, arguing that the preemption statute applies to these types of anticipatory ordinances too. On Thursday, a Ramsey County judge sided with the Caucus and denied a request…
As recently announced by Bungie, Destiny 2 is unfortunately meeting its untimely end on June 9, with a final update that marks a new era for the game with no new content, live-service patches, expansions, or anything of the sort. The final update for Destiny 2 on June 9 seems to be pretty substantial for a non-expansion patch, and Bungie will share more information before launch. For now, players can take a look at the first Dev Insight post, which includes the return of the Director, a revamp of all Destination rewards with unique events for each of them, Sparrow…
A Polish businessman wanted on fraud and money laundering charges was arrested by federal authorities while attending Army Basic Combat Training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. Marcin Pióro, 46, the chief executive of the Polish financial services platform Cinkciarz.pl, was taken into custody on May 19 during a military training exercise at the Army installation. Pióro was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice and an extradition request filed by the Polish government, according to a May 21 press release issued by the U.S. Marshals Service. Interpol stated his age is 45. On May 20, he appeared in U.S.…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Uncertainty swirled Friday around what the U.S. called a tentative deal to extend the ceasefire in its war with Iran. It wasn’t clear whether U.S. President Donald Trump supports it, and a top Iranian official said his country wins concessions “through missiles,” not talks. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Thursday the adversaries had reached a tentative agreement. But he said they continued to debate “a couple of language points” and he couldn’t say whether Trump would approve the proposal. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Friday on X that his country has “no trust in…
I’d say the chances are pretty good. As we reported yesterday, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has declared that “universal” background checks are once again the law of the Commonwealth, even though a Lynchburg judge’s injunction on the practice is still in effect. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones filed a motion with the judge in early May asking for the injunction to be lifted, arguing that recently passed legislation resolves the underlying issue that led to the judge halting background checks on private sales, but the judge has yet to act on that request. On Thursday, attorneys…

Disabled U.S. Army veteran Nathan Kalwicki never thought he’d be a mortgage-free new construction homeowner. An amputee from western New York, who was injured in Afghanistan in 2011, is set to move into a new accessibility-built home at the end of May thanks to the national nonprofit organization A Soldier’s Journey Home. “This is basically a dream come true, I don’t really have words to describe it,” Kalwicki said, in a testimonial for the organization, posted online and reviewed by Military.com. “I’m really looking forward to establishing roots in the community with my wife.” Kalwicki’s new construction, mortgage-free home in…

When people enlist in the military, they swear an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Part of the Constitution is the Second Amendment, which means the men and women who go into harm’s way for this nation do so, in part, to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. So when I found out that the Department of Veterans Affairs was stripping fellow veterans of their gun rights because they needed financial help, I about lost my damn mind. Nothing about that…
It’s amazing how much wisdom has been lost to the ages. There are so many simple life hacks that used to be common knowledge. In this video, Household Hacker tries out some life hack inserts that were printed over 100 years ago in 1916. These inserts are cards that were sold with packs of cigarettes. There are hundreds of them out there, but this video focuses on seven. The first card is about… Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1.

President Donald Trump has done more for the Second Amendment than any other president in my lifetime, if not in all of American history. If it sounds like adoration or praise, though, we need to understand that the bar was so damn low that you could pole vault it with a toothpick. He’s done some legitimately good things, and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has been an absolute champion, taking on terrible laws at the state and local level. Dhillon, via her job as head of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, has gone…

The Ford F-150 Lobo is one of the coolest-looking trucks we’ve seen in years. Especially in black. With the sleek horizontal lightbar and the dual exhaust, the design team gives the rig a handsome look. But under the hood, it’s largely the same truck as a standard Ford F-150, with little that makes it a “street truck” beyond the fact that Ford dropped the suspension by a couple of inches. Now, the upcoming Ram 1500 Rumble Bee? There’s a street truck. Especially the 700+ horsepower SRT model, with a supercharged Hemi to challenge anything and everything on the road. There’s…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources. The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site…
Wes Cooper had just finished a 10-mile training run on the trails outside of Seattle when he got the call. Two hikers needed rescue. They’d attempted an ambitious 3-mile hike with 3,000 feet of elevation gain and bit off more than they could chew. Darkness had set in before they made it down. Without headlamps and afraid of getting lost, they called Seattle Mountain Rescue (SMR) for help. Cooper hadn’t expected the mission. He was already pretty cooked after his run. So, he grabbed one of SMR’s Hypershell Exoskeletons and jumped in the car. He put them on at the…
Kenneth Dixon has defended this country in uniform, and now the veteran has had to defend himself and his home in Memphis, Tennessee. According to Memphis police, a man named Simeon Pratcher is in custody after breaking in to Dixon’s home earlier this week. It’s not the first time that the veteran has been targeted by thieves. In fact, Pratcher told police that he entered the home through a window that was broken during the last break-in, believing the residence to be unoccupied. It was not. The victim told officers he was sitting in his living room…
