You have likely heard of Project 2025 but a U.S. Navy veteran is upping the ante with a new national proposal he dubs ‘Project 2026’ that he believes is a step toward restoring balance in the American experience.Project 2025 garnered large amounts of attention during the 2024 presidential campaign when the political initiative and conservative blueprint penned by the Heritage Foundation became inherently tied to then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign, described by critics as a roadmap to preserve and implement various policies in a future Republican administration.Trump’s 2024 opponent, ex-Vice President Kamala Harris, and Democrats consistently attempted to tie Trump to…

The Browning Hi-Power 9mm was a game-changer when it appeared in 1935. It started as what would turn out to be John Browning’s last design. Unfortunately, he died in 1926, before the gun was finished. He had been working with FN Herstal of Belgium, so an FN designer, Dieudonné Saive, finished the gun. What a collaboration that was, even if they didn’t actually work together… the resulting product turned out to be one of the most popular pistols of all time. It was a design ahead of its time. It was chambered in 9mm, not .45 ACP as was his…
Boris Langenstein is the type of skier who pioneers lines on 8,000m peaks. His June descent of Nanga Parbat’s Rupal Face is a perfect example of the kinds of objectives this ski mountaineering folk hero pursues. His old-school alpinist demeanor contrasts with his fast-and-loose skiing style. I couldn’t help feeling a little starstruck chasing him around a powder-plastered Chamonix for a few days last winter. On his feet were a mean-looking pair of skis: Volkl’s new (secret-at-the-time) V-Werks Rise 99s. This pair of black carbon knives has subtle branding and an irregular core shape. What Langenstein did with them struck…
The Hoonigan Gymkhana formula is often imitated, but rarely so well. Chinese car company HYPTEC, owned by the GAC Group, is showing off its latest supercar, the HYPTEC SSR, in an extreme drift video called Up Drift. Just as in the Gymkhana video series, a specific location and vehicle are featured in the video. For Up Drift, the location is Guangzhou, China, a port city northwest of Hong Kong, with a massive population of around 19 million people. It sprawls along the Pearl River, which is highly featured in the video. The car featured is the HYPTEC SSR, which is…
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…

Gun Owners of America is taking another swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ, this time not for defending the National Firearms Act, but for continuing the Biden administration’s lawsuit against Missouri over the state’s Second Amendment Preservation Act. In a video released on Thursday, GOA’s Deputy Director of Federal Affairs Ben Sanderson says the DOJ’s stance on Missouri’s SAPA law “would seem to fly in the face of President Trump’s own executive order protecting Second Amendment rights,” and accusing Bondi of “killing a state-level Second Amendment protection law.” Missouri’s Second Amendment Protection Act…
It started with the yellow. The Dometic Recon cooler is hard to miss: bright, bold, and easy to spot in the back of a Jeep or tucked among camping gear. When I pulled the 41L version into rotation for testing around Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley, I was curious whether this injection-molded cooler could deliver more than just good looks. Of course, Dometic’s background in mobile refrigeration gave me high hopes. But what stood out most wasn’t the ice retention; it was the usability. The dual-opening lid, magnetic drain plug, rubberized top, and square, easy-packing shape made it one of the…
Whoever first said, “Never skip leg day” knew the importance of strong and durable legs. Strong legs mean longer life, greater independence as we age and optimal performance in running, rucking and other load-bearing activities involved in tactical training. Leg days have no age group, as we all need to do them each week of our lives. When you prioritize leg training, you are investing in the power, endurance and stability that will serve you well throughout life. Read More: Starting at Sunrise, an All-Day Routine for Better Sleep and Better PerformanceHere is an advanced leg day, but each section is completely scalable…
What does it take to overturn a country? First, take away guns from citizens, especially those who might have a favorable view of the country’s current leadership. Next, turn the country’s military against its leadership. Accomplish those two things, and the stage is set. Of course, that’s greatly simplified, but you get the picture. Which brings us to U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, and explains why he has worked so hard over the past several decades to try to ban civilian gun ownership—especially of so-called “military-grade” firearms. Sen. Kelly and five associates have been in the news recently for an…
On Thursday, I covered a pair of New Mexico lawmakers who are calling for a new state-level licensing system for gun dealers. In their initial remarks, the legislators relied heavily on a new “report” by Everytown for Gun Safety that alleges more than 930,000 firearms were likely trafficked between 2017 and 2023, “supplied by gun dealers—Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs)—who either knowingly or negligently turn a blind eye.” That assertion leaves no room for the idea that any of these FFLs were duped by straw buyers, and utterly ignores the fact that FFLs are often the…
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…
Most of us watch reality survival shows like Alone or Naked and Afraid from the couch and think, “I could probably do that… right?” But what do people who actually teach survival for a living think of those shows—and which ones, if any, you should treat as more than just TV?While it’s rare to find active-duty SERE instructors publicly spilling behind-the-scenes opinions, several well-known survival instructors and seasoned outdoor professionals have gone on record about the biggest and best shows. So we pulled together what those instructors and pros have said about TV’s biggest survival series—how realistic they are, which ones they…
