When advocating for the Second Amendment, one of the biggest challenges is reaching beyond the “gun community.” Social media algorithms, friendship circles, and the dreaded “P” word( politics) often keeps gun owners and advocates in a proverbial echo chamber. It is easy to forget there’s an entire world of people that we could reach, even when there are other communities that a bridge could be built to connect. As such, Gun Owners of America (GOA) recognized this exact thing and created an event way outside the 2A box and created a unique and unprecedented two-day event which merges the…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Global Food Shortages Will Hit The World Like A Freight Train In 6 To 9 Months Because Virtually Nothing Will Get Through The Strait Of Hormuz Now Where do we go from here? Peace talks with Iran have totally failed, and there appears to be no hope that the gaps between the demands that the U.S. is making and the demands that Iran is making can be bridged. There are several key issues that both sides are not willing to compromise on, and that…
In the early 2000s, there was no climber more famous than Dean Potter. Nicknamed “the dark wizard,” Potter accomplished never-before-seen feats in Yosemite National Park. He embraced highlining and BASE jumping as an extension of the pursuit of his physical limits. The legend died in a wingsuit accident in 2015, and the story of this mercurial visionary has never been fully told in a documentary — until now. (Photo/HBO) Famed documentary filmmakers Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen decided to take on the challenge of delving into Potter’s life. Their new four-part series, The Dark Wizard: A Portrait of Climbing’s Most Enigmatic…
Last week, Cam noted that two gun ranges fighting the 11 percent excise tax on guns and ammunition in California filed for a summary judgment in the case. The entire thing is an absolute fiasco of a law that never should have happened in the first place, but it being California, it isn’t surprising that it did. And everyone always knew there would be a lawsuit before the ink was even dry on the bill. How could there not be?Joining the two ranges, though, are Second Amendment groups, who also want to see this abomination…
Here’s a little Midwest secret: Adventure runs wild in Illinois, if you know where to find it. Yes, that Illinois. Right here in, as they say, “the middle of everything,” bison roam open prairies, ancient cypress trees rise from secluded waters, and craft brewers forage wild mushrooms from nearby forests. From Chicago to other Midwestern metros, dwellers of the grid-bound world can easily target weekend getaways or extend adventure-based journeys with the full family. Activity surprises stretch from the edge of Lake Michigan to the banks of the Mississippi River. You just have to venture beyond those city limits to…
When President Trump was elected, it was on the promise that the new administration would stand with us on the right to keep and bear arms. It wasn’t the only promise, to be sure, but on gun rights, the position was firm. While we’ve gotten a lot from the administration, and it’s more than we’ve gotten at any point I can remember, it’s important to remember that clearing that bar wasn’t exactly a herculean task.The DOJ has defended several controversial gun control laws in court, for example, but that’s defending federal law. An argument can…
The Middle East ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are on extremely shaky ground. The Israelis are desperate and will do whatever they can to reignite the war, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi has told RT India. Iran Accused Israel and The U.S. Of Violating The Ceasefire Marandi is blaming the “desperation” to end the ceasefire and reignite the war on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “But right now there is a spoiler, and that is Netanyahu,” he added. Pointing to the pounding of Lebanon by Israeli forces, Marandi said that “this means the commitments given by the United…
In the U.S., when you think of waxed cotton jackets, you probably think of Filson — almost everywhere else, though, it’s Barbour. Among the first, and undoubtedly the oldest operating waxed jacket manufacturers, Barbour has over 130 years of history behind its products. Few Barbour jackets carry that heritage quite as strongly as the Beaufort. Few waxed jackets are as versatile, built for layering, and functional for a wide gamut of outdoor activities. Mine may not have the decades of wear that plenty of Beauforts still in action today can claim, but over the last several months, I’ve put one…
The NRA Foundation has gone silent after being sued by the NRA. The attorney general of D.C. stepped in and the Foundation still refuses to disclose their leadership structure. The ongoing saga of the National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation continues. Last year there were rumors that the Foundation changed their bylaws and they were contacted about their leadership structure. The Foundation did not reply to those queries. Rumors of a conflict turned out to be true, as the NRA filed a lawsuit against the Foundation. To date, the Foundation refuses to publicly disclose who…
A new final rule published by the Trump Administration’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has put an end to “reputational risks” as an excuse for banking discrimination. At issue is the practice of large banks “debanking” or refusing to do business with corporations, like those in the firearm and ammo industry, that are legal but some consider politically incorrect. Last December, the OCC released findings that over the past several years, large banks systematically “made inappropriate distinctions” of lawful businesses, including those against firearm-related businesses, to restrict access to banking…
United States ruler Donald Trump has attacked Pope Leo, the patriarch of the Catholic Church, as being “terrible for foreign policy.” The social media assault comes as Pope Leo emerged as a vocal critic of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Christian Nationalism and Trump’s Weaponization of Religion The pope described Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization as “truly unacceptable,” warning it amounted to “a threat against an entire people.” Pope Leo XIV also asked the U.S. rulers for some “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants. Trump, Immigration, and ICE Trump responded in a post on Truth Social on Sunday…
When it comes to hiking in the Southeast, the Appalachian Trail tends to get all the attention. While this famous thru-hike certainly deserves all the love it gets, most of us aren’t about to take on a 2,000-mile-plus trail. Luckily, there are plenty of other five-star trails for the day hikers and weekend warriors out there. From national parks to state parks to sections of thru-hikes and more, the Southeast abounds with striking vistas, stunning waterfalls, and spectacular forests. We sourced beta from local newspapers, online reviews, and GearJunkie staff in the region to compile a list of 10 of…
Some people hate the term “ghost gun” for privately made firearms. I’ve run into a few that like it and want to own it completely. Regardless, what we call these firearms is the least of our concerns, really. What we really need to focus on is the almost religious crusade against these firearms by the usual suspects. Take Virginia, where anti-gun lawmakers are trying to make it the California of the East Coast. Unsurprisingly, Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who ran on things like affordability but hasn’t done anything to address that promise, just signed her latest anti-gun…
This article was originally published by Chase Codewell at Natural News. Youngest Voting-Age Cohort Report Heightened Distrust, Negative Emotions Regarding AI A recent survey indicates a significant segment of young American adults harbor growing skepticism and anger toward artificial intelligence technologies. The findings, first reported by The Epoch Times, suggest a notable shift in sentiment concentrated among the youngest voting-age cohort, according to the data [1]. This reported negativity contrasts with the widespread adoption of generative AI tools within the same demographic. Analysts note the apparent disconnect between regular use and negative sentiment marks a distinctive development in public perception of…
In 2018, Rep. Eric Swalwell “joked” that he wasn’t worried about armed Americans resisting the federal government turned tyrannical because the feds have nukes. It was tasteless, to say the least, but it wasn’t something that bothered the people he represented. After all, he’s won re-election multiple times, though his bid for president fizzled out pretty quickly. When the Oval Office became clearly out of reach, he started looking for his next move, and that looked like becoming the next governor of California. He seemed to be a popular choice for the office among state…
