I like Alex Honnold. A lot. Not in the casual, “I watched the movie” way. I like Honnold, the person. I particularly respect something that’s rare in a modern celebrity: He’s exactly the same person on-camera that he is away from it. The bluntness. The oddball pragmatism. The almost clinical way he talks about risk, fear, and effort. Most public figures come across like they’re giving a performance that’s on-brand. Honnold seems like a real person, someone you could tie in with, share a belay ledge with, and talk to without any of it feeling staged. That’s why this new…
Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong. He shot three people, killing two of them, after all three took actions that threatened his life. Most people prattle on about what happened that night in Kenosha and don’t understand it in the least. Hell, a lot of people think he shot black dudes instead of three white guys. After his acquittal, he stayed around for a bit, trying to move on with his life to some degree, to go to college, and the left made that impossible for him. Every move he tried to make, they tried to…
RCBS rolls out the Matchmaster Precision Case Trimmer, a powered bench trimmer that trims, chamfers, and deburrs rifle brass in one pass. They collaborated with Henderson Precision to produce a machine that was effective, familiar, and easy to use. Built With Precision Reloaders in Mind RCBS teamed up with Henderson Precision to bring the Matchmaster Precision Case Trimmer to market. Shooters familiar with Henderson machines will recognize the layout right away. RCBS kept the core concept but added refinements aimed at repeatability and ease of use. One of these refinements sits on the bottom of the unit. A built-in micrometer…
One year after reclaiming the Oval Office, President Donald Trump and his administration is declaring victory on military strength, veterans benefits, and American power abroad—all as his critics warn of the perils of his decisions.President Donald Trump marked the anniversary of his return to office with a sweeping administration-wide directive called “365 wins in 365 days,” portraying his second term’s opening year as the most productive in modern presidential history.At a press conference on Jan. 20, Trump amplified the message with a mix of claims and on national borders, NATO and the economy. Supporters see a president moving with unmatched…
According to the United States ruler, Donald Trump, the European countries he threatened with tariffs don’t need his help to fall into ruin. Trump claimed that they are making “horrible” decisions and “destroying” themselves. Trump’s Unhinged Tariffs On NATO Countries Over Greenland Dispute Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, Trump said that while the U.S. wants to see Europe succeed, “it is not going in the right direction.” Is Europe the next region Trump will set his sights on for regime change, takeover, and control? He blamed European nations’ uncontrolled migration policies and what he called…
This wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. Bentley just dropped a short gymkana-style drift video featuring its Supersports car and Travis Pastrana. The video takes place across Bentley’s campus in Crewe, England. It’s called Supersports: FULL SEND. The Car: ‘Mildred’ the Bentley Supersports (Photo/Bentley) Only 500 Bentley Supersports are going to be produced, and they’re all already spoken for. The car has the latest performance and aero trickery from the company, as well as rear-wheel drive (RWD) and 657 horsepower. The starting price for one of these is around half a million dollars. Production of this limited-edition car begins…
The Pedersoli 1805 Baker Rifle faithfully recreates Britain’s first standard‑issue military rifle, blending historical accuracy with modern Italian craftsmanship. Why the Baker Rifle Mattered At the turn of the 19th century, European armies relied almost entirely on smoothbore muskets. Those arms emphasized rate of fire and massed volley tactics, leaving limited room for precision or selective engagement. The Baker rifle marked a shift in that thinking. Designed by London gunsmith Ezekiel Baker and adopted by the British Army in 1800, it became the first rifled firearm issued for regular military service. The rifle equipped the Experimental Corps of Riflemen, later…
Especially if your military household moved to a new state in 2025, as a military spouse, keep in mind that you’ve received new rights in recent years in terms of where to pay your state income taxes – or not pay, if the state has no income tax.In 2023, military spouses gained options for filing their state income taxes under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act that now eclipse even those of active-duty members, because “In a weird quirk of the law, service members can use SCRA protections only for their military pay,” Military.com’s financial columnist Kate Horrell wrote in last year’s Tax Week…
I got my hands on the Codex87 Horizon Edge ahead of its SHOT Show 2026 debut, and it’s clear this isn’t just a cosmetic refresh. Benchmade completely changed how the blade is built, not just how it looks (though it really looks rad). The knife is based on the Saddle Mountain Skinner, a proven platform with a blade shape that already works for breaking down game. Benchmade left that alone and focused entirely on the cutting edge. Here’s what’s new. Blade Materials and Construction Codex87 Horizon Edge; (photo/Benchmade) The Codex87 Horizon Edge uses a bi-metal blade construction with two steels…
Hawaii taxpayers could soon be forced to pay for state-sponsored gun “buyback” efforts after the Hawaiʻi State Association of Counties included that demand in their legislative wish list for 2026. According to Maui Now, the lobbying group representing county governments wants the state to hold two compensated confiscation events in each county every year, claiming that “existing results from Oʻahu illustrate the effectiveness of these programs and demonstrate the value of establishing a consistent, statewide approach.”In April 2025, a gun buyback event on Oʻahu collected 367 firearms and distributed $37,900 in Foodland Farms gift cards.…
It is pretty rare to see something new come out of the ammunition side of the firearms industry unless a company is chasing a wildcat cartridge that they’re hoping will really take off. One manufacturer who surprised us at Range Day was Sim-X with their unassuming line of ammo that touts ultra-high velocities while pushing low grain weights for given cartridges. Sim-X Ammunition Sim-X Ammunition offers both recreational and practice range ammo as well as self-defense rounds. The practice ammunition is dubbed RANGECORE™ with a patented synthetic core inside a precision alloy full-metal jacket. Their self-defense ammunition is named Defensecore…
After the successful removal of Nicolas Maduro from power in Venezuela, the United States now seek a regime change in Cuba. Originally declaring that the operation was over “narco terrorism,” it was quickly revealed that the U.S. simply wanted control of Venezuela’s natural resources. So what’s going on with Cuba? Should Cuba, Canada, Greenland And Venezuela All Be Owned By The United States? Currently, the U.S. ruling class is searching for allies within Cuba’s government in order to help facilitate regime change. The U.S. believes that Cuba’s economy is “close to collapse and that the government has never been this…
Virginians who currently possess so-called “assault firearms” could face criminal charges unless they give them up under a newly-introduced bill in the state Senate. SB 749, introduced by Sens. Saddam Sadim, Creigh Deeds, and Lamont Bagby, contains no grandfather clause for current gun owners. Instead, it simply bans the importation, sale, manufacture, purchase, possession, transportation, or transfers of an “assault firearm.” B. Any person who imports, sells, manufactures, purchases, possesses, transports, or transfers an assault firearm is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.C. The provisions of this section shall not apply to (i) any government officer,…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Army has ordered several dozen additional active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minneapolis if needed, a defense official said Wednesday, amid protests over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive plans, confirmed that members of an Army military police brigade who are stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina have been given prepare-to-deploy orders. If deployed, the troops would likely offer support to civil authorities in Minneapolis, according to the official, who stressed that such standby orders are issued regularly and…
In a mixed bag ruling, a three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th Circuit Court of Appeals recently delivered one big win and several big losses to gun owners challenging the state’s onerous gun-control laws. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling, Maryland was one of several anti-gun states to strengthen, rather than loosen, its gun restrictions. One new law banned carrying firearms on private property held open to the public without the owner’s express permission—a regulation commonly known as the “vampire rule,” which references the literary notion that vampires must obtain an owner’s consent before entering a building. On January…
This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. In recent weeks, President Trump has been getting more vocal about his intention to bring the semiautonomous Danish territory of Greenland under the control of the American federal government. A meeting was held last Wednesday between officials from the US, Greenland, and Denmark that, according to the Danish foreign minister, didn’t move the dispute any closer to a resolution. Since then, Trump has been repeatedly signaling that he’s willing to send American troops in to take it by force if the Danish government doesn’t agree to hand it over peacefully.…
As I carefully descend down a slick, slurpy, muddy path, a giant brown puddle of unknown depth awaits at the bottom. Undeterred, I add throttle. The Wilderness sinks in and scrapes the front bumper. Yet the Bridgestone Dueler tires claw at the sloppy terrain with plenty of force, and I march through the puddle, showering the sides of the Outback with mud along the way. All in a day’s work for a Wilderness-branded Outback, given its 9.5 inches of ground clearance, 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and easy-to-clean surfaces — both inside and out. But with the more refined, seventh-generation platform…
The battle of the generations is something that seems to be perpetual. Boomers look down on Millennials. Millennials roll their eyes at Gen Z. Gen Xers like myself are rarely even acknowledged, though we’re pretty used to that. It goes on and on, and considering the ancient Greek writings about the failings of the new generation, it seems like it’s gone on forever. But the truth is that while it’s really kind of stupid to lump everyone in a generation into a group where you expect them to fit neatly into a box, there are…

While attending Beretta’s private Range Day on Sunday, January 18th checking out everything there are going to have new for SHOT Show 2026 (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade show) as well as the year of their 500th Anniversary, we came across a rather unique looking semi-auto shotgun in the Beretta AX800 Suprema! Beretta AX800 Suprema 12 Gauge With an edgy looking stock and forearm that is contoured unlike anything we have seen before, the Beretta AX800 Suprema is an eye-catching shotgun to say the least. In fact, Beretta touts this shotgun as being “the most advanced waterfowl shotgun we’ve ever built,…
