New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill hit the campaign trail on Wednesday to support veterans in other states running for Congress in this year’s midterm elections. Sherrill, a Democrat and former Naval helicopter pilot who became governor of the Garden State in November 2025, traveled to Massachusetts and New Hampshire on Aug. 19 to campaign alongside three veterans running for office. Those veterans Sherrill campaigned for are Rep. Seth Moulton, who is running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts; Rep. Maggie Googlander, running for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District; and Maura Sullivan, running in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. According to veterans…

A tent can be a highly personal choice that adjusts to your specific use case, whether you are pitching it for your family in an emergency or using it in a bushcraft setup in the woods.I’ve been using tents long before my time in the military, spanning from Cub Scouts and solo bushcraft excursions in the woods to family camping getaways.My main recommendation is the Combat One ICS, which is an affordable, battle-tested military surplus tent that works for a wide range of…

These are tough times for the anti-gunners at March For Our Lives, or at least the few who remain. Last March the group laid off 13 of its 16 full-time employees, and since then the group has basically been running on fumes. In an attempt to regain some relevance within the gun control movement (and to attract some donations as well), the group has launched a brand new campaign called “The Machine.”  For years the gun lobby has counted on confusion. They want you to believe gun violence is a force of nature and something…

A disabled Navy veteran is suing her homeowners’ association (HOA) over alleged improper fees and unreasonable debt collection. HOAs comprise a group of residents elected to a board which creates community rules, maintains common areas and collects funds to do so. The federal government does not track how many military veterans live in HOAs, though U.S. Census data shows those living in HOAs in general are on the rise. The proportion of single-family homes built within HOAs has increased from 49% in 2009 to 65% in 2023, according to this data. Citing court documents, local news outlet KSAT reported that…

The Justice Department’s lawsuit challenging multiple gun control laws in the U.S. Virgin Islands is already on strong legal ground given the blatant abuses of the Second Amendment in the U.S. territory. The USVI Attorney General’s office is also doing a bang-up job of sabotaging its own efforts to defend the law, and a federal judge has now rejected efforts by the office to strike down the federal government’s request for a preliminary injunction.  In his order, U.S. District Judge Evan Rikhye chided the Attorney General’s office for even making the motion, noting that it…

Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound that is found in the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub, a plant native to Central Africa.

As New York publications go, the NY Post is probably one of the better ones. Granted, that’s not saying much, but a lot of times they’ll cover stories the rest of the mainstream media tries to bury, such as Hunter Biden’s laptop. They paid a price for that in the short term, but garnered a fair bit of respect in the long term. Unfortunately, it’s still a New York City publication, which means there’s a certain amount of derp that is inevitable, I suppose.Take, for example, their headline regarding the Department of Justice finally delivering…
