It’s absolutely possible to fly within the United States with a firearm. It’s just a pain in the butt to do so, and I sure don’t want to trust it. After all, at least some airlines have a history of making it blatantly obvious that a bag has a firearm in it. That’s just inviting theft to happen. I don’t know that it happens that often, mind you, but the possibility alone is sufficient reason for me to prefer driving, even if it takes me days longer. And, honestly, no one can tell us it…

A 36-year-old man has pleaded guilty to stealing approximately $21,000 worth of Pokemon cards and was sentenced to over 10 years in prison as part of the plea deal. The Pokemon card thief entered his plea six months after his arrest, which happened during a traffic stop in which police found other items on his person. The Pokemon Trading Card Game has long been a profitable staple of the Pokemon brand since its arrival in the West during the late 1990s. With Pokemon’s 30th anniversary in full swing, the festivities have extended to the trading card game, as well. The…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  The Illusion of Reform I have watched the machinery of federal health agencies up close, and the 2024 election was the last test. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was given the chance to lead the Department of Health and Human Services with the full backing of President Trump, the Republican majorities in Congress, and a public desperate for change. Yet, after 18 months of trying to dismantle the deep state, the FDA, CDC, and HHS remain intact, and the pharmaceutical lobby has successfully stalled every meaningful vaccine safety reform [1]. This…

Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph update is the gift that keeps on giving, and this week there is a new armor set that is very easily farmable, but it can’t exactly be done solo. One of the perks of Destiny 2’s Monuments of Triumph update is that players don’t have to fear massive nerfs or changes to their gear anymore, which means that what is good now will be good for as long as the servers are online. Obviously, the main issue with this is that the game will no longer receive content updates and even patches. Bungie recently confirmed…

Beef jerky isn’t just a delicious snack—it’s also a fantastic source of protein that’s perfect for on-the-go meals or outdoor adventures. Store-bought jerky can be expensive and loaded with preservatives, but when you make it yourself, you can tailor the flavor to your liking and skip the unnecessary additives. Plus, with modern kitchen gadgets like an air fryer, creating your own batch of jerky has never been easier or faster. Beef jerky happens to be one of my husband’s favorite snacks, and I sure love some homemade beef jerky as well. When our dehydrator died over a year ago, I…

I really wasn’t planning on writing about this today, but since it’s been blowing up on social media I kind of feel obliged to weigh in. The Broward County, Florida Sheriff’s Department is investigating a shooting that happened at a Walmart on Tuesday. 62-year-old Bart Diguglielmo was shot and killed by a woman as the pair were arguing about a parking space.  So far, there’ve been two different videos making the rounds on social media; one recorded by someone sitting in a car not far away from the incident, and another recording from a dashcam located…

The U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday announced its new “SpouseWorks” program providing a plethora of free options to boost military service members’ spouses in their career endeavors while bolstering family units in what can often be challenging lifestyles. The service said the program, which officially began July 1 and is being offered through Military OneSource’s SpouseWorks (formerly MySECO), is now providing eligible Coast Guard spouses with free access to professional career coaching, job search assistance, and online courses. “Every Coast Guard spouse has unique talents, aspirations, and professional ambitions,” the Coast Guard said. “SpouseWorks empowers spouses to invest in their…

United States President Donald Trump said that indirect peace talks regarding Iran are going well, and progress is being made. Trump made the comments on Wednesday, as U.S. and Iranian officials resumed talks in Qatar, via mediators, telling reporters “the denuclearization of Iran is moving along well.” According to a report by CBS News, Qatar and Pakistan said Thursday that “positive progress was made” during the indirect talks between the US and Iran in Doha, Qatar’s capital, “regarding issues related to the memorandum of understanding” that continued the Iran war ceasefire. Former Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster said that…

Each year, multiple people die in their attempts to summit one of Colorado’s 53 peaks that rise over 14,000 feet. Some 14ers are more dangerous than others, and unfortunately, one of the most perilous of these mountains just claimed another life. On June 27, a climber going up Little Bear Peak fell and died, despite local emergency response. What Happened In a Facebook post, the Alamosa Volunteer Search and Rescue (AVSAR) explained the incident. The rescue group received a call on June 27 for a hiker going up the West Ridge indirect approach up the mountain. A large chunk of…

There’s always been a certain degree of discretion afforded to both prosecutors and law enforcement officers. It’s why you sometimes get a warning when you’re caught speeding, or when a cop catches someone doing something and tells them to knock it off, rather than hauling the person to jail. It’s when a DA decides to drop the charges against someone who might have done something wrong, but the prosecutor figures they’ve already learned their lesson. It’s been going on pretty much since forever, but now things are a bit different. Some authorities make a big…

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is defending its criticism of a top-ranking lawmaker as scrutiny continues against the elaborate legislative package making its way through Congress. The VFW on Thursday defended its “political satire” against House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chair Mike Bost (R-Ill.), who on Wednesday accused the VFW of inciting political violence. Specifically, he pointed to apparel being sold online on websites like Grunt Style with the VFW moniker, showing the words “Honor the Contract.” In the image, four males—labeled as “bureaucrats” and “media—are holding firearms aimed at two military service members. Beside that image includes three…

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have taken humanity one step closer to creating “artificial life.” The new lab-created “SpudCell” has replicated several key functions of living organisms, according to researchers. Can Artificial Intelligence Cure “Incurable” Diseases? The researchers at the University of Minnesota unveiled their work on artificial life on Wednesday. Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist and professor at the university, called the synthetic cell “an incredibly wimpy organism” that currently does little more than “eat and occasionally make a daughter cell.” The team built the cells from non-living chemical components rather than altering existing organisms. According to the project page,…
