The Trump administration has had some missteps recently, but those came after a very strong start to his second term. Since they’ve amounted to little more than words, I’m prepared to sort of shrug them away for the time being, but I’m cautiously watching the administration. It’s clear they’re not quite as good friends as we might hope. But the Republican Party, as a whole, hasn’t really delivered much for us. All the gains we’ve made since Trump took office are either through executive orders, which I’m not a huge fan of anyway, or through…

Billionaire Bill Gates has pulled out of the India Artificial Intelligence (AI) summit after the most recent release of the Epstein files. Additionally, former Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, who has been stripped of his titles and is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Gates arrived in India a few days before he was scheduled to talk as the keynote speaker. So far, Gates has met top elected officials in the state of Andhra Pradesh to discuss projects implemented by his foundation. Pressure is continually mounting over his ties to Jeffrey…

The Olympic Skimo Sprints were held at the Stelvio Alpine Skiing Centre in Bormio, Italy, today, and two athletes made Olympic history. Marianne Fatton of Switzerland and Oriol Cardona Coll of Spain won the Skimo Sprint event for the women’s and men’s divisions, earning the sport’s first Olympic gold medals. During the race, heavy snowfall made the conditions challenging for racers, who had to sprint uphill on skis, navigating “diamonds” that forced them into single-file paths. They then had to remove their skis, bootpack up a snow staircase, transition to downhill ski mode, and descend to complete the course. The…

As of publication, there’s still about a half-hour left in the 2026 New Mexico legislative session, but we can confidently say that the bill banning the sale of all gas-operated centerfire rifles and many other commonly owned arms will not get a final vote in the House this session. Instead, SB 17 was left in limbo by the House Judiciary committee after a late night meeting on Monday evening that stretched into Tuesday morning.  🚨WE WON!!!The unconstitutional gun-grab bill SB 17 is dead!☠️It would have burdened small businesses, threatened constitutional rights, and exposed New Mexico to…

I’m a huge fan of small, useful EDC tools. For years, I’ve carried the hard-to-beat Gerber Shard in my pocket and used it more times than I can count. So when an email about a pocket knife the size of a quarter landed in my inbox, I was intrigued. The fact that the tiny COiN knife sold somewhere around 5,000 units in just 5 days proved I wasn’t alone. What Is the COiN Knife? The COiN knife is smaller than a bottle cap; (photo/COiN) The COiN (silly capitalization is the brand’s, not mine) is a very small knife that clips…

Bearing Arms was the child of Bob Owens. Every single one of us owes the man something, and I never actually met him. Still, one of the best compliments I got in my early days here was someone saying I was a worthy successor to his legacy. I don’t feel that way at all. I’m just trying to do the best I can, but I appreciate it just the same. Bob took his own life, and the anti-gunners had a field day with that fact. To them, it was the vindication of everything they believed.…
