Cornell University has added a new rule to its Community Living Standards for the 2026-27 school year: Students can’t process wild game in communal residence hall kitchens. The policy is only one sentence long, but it doesn’t leave much room for creative interpretation. “Processing wild/game animals in community kitchens is strictly prohibited,” the updated standards state. Cornell confirmed the addition was prompted by an incident last September, when two students brought a legally killed black bear into a North Campus residence hall and butchered it in the communal kitchen.

Montgomery County, Maryland officials are facing three separate legal challenges over several newly-enacted “gun-free zones,” including parks and houses of worship. Now the county’s chief executive has weighed in with his take on the lawsuits filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance and the Department of Justice. Marc Elrich told reporters on Wednesday that the county will defend its restrictions on lawful carry, and had some choice words for those who are trying to get rid of the victim disarmament zones. “We’re just not going to surrender,” Elrich said. “If we get to a legal point…
Congratulations, you’re having a baby! Babies are amazing, but it’s incredible how much gear comes along with such a tiny person. If you’ve ever packed for a PCS, you already know how quickly stuff adds up. Babies somehow manage to double it. Don’t let me discourage you; children are amazing, and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. The gear changes as they grow, but somehow the amount of stuff never gets smaller. It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of Pinterest and Instagram and start planning a perfectly matched nursery. The baby gear available today is incredible. I…
A successful deer season doesn’t start when you climb into the stand. It begins months prior, with intel you can gather and animal habits you can help create. The payoff from that initial effort has made trail cameras (also called game cameras) and deer feeders into inseparable tools for dedicated hunters. A trail camera is a weatherproof, motion-triggered camera mounted on a tree or post that turns guesswork into data, showing you exactly when and where deer are moving so you’re not burning time in the wrong spot. Pair that with a feeder, and you’re not just watching deer activity;…
The Supreme Court will finally hear not just one case about bans on so-called assault weapons, but two. They’ve basically combined two different cases, particularly after the lower courts got pretty damn stupid in their own rulings. And that’s good news for us.Or is it?So far, pretty much everyone expects the Court to rule against these bans, even anti-gun attorneys, but let’s understand exactly why.The Bruen ruling established a two-step test lower courts are to use when assessing restrictions on firearm possession. The majority said courts must first assess whether the regulated conduct is covered…
A Colorado woman is facing legal charges after allegedly using fake military IDs as part of an attempt to allegedly steal nearly $9,000. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office alleges that Jonica Woodward, 47, presented a military ID and a VA card in the name of an account holder at the Pinnacle Bank in Memphis, Colo. Authorities said bank employees became suspicious when Woodward presented a Pinnacle Loan advance form in the amount of $8,900, which she purportedly signed with the victim’s name but had an incorrect account number. Authorities said a Pinnacle Bank account was targeted by a Colorado woman…
There’s an old saying that common sense isn’t so common anymore. Whether that’s true probably depends on who you ask. But every so often a story comes along that makes just about everyone scratch their head. The latest comes out of Georgia, where an 8-year-old special needs student was suspended after bringing what school officials reportedly classified as a “weapon” to school. The weapon? According to NRA-ILA’s write-up, it was a tiny LEGO keychain built from a handful of plastic bricks that happened to resemble a pistol. If your first thought was, “Wait… seriously?” you’re not alone. When Does a…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has launched a new clinical trial to test the effectiveness and safety of psilocybin—the main ingredient in magic mushrooms—in treating veterans with treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The trial, called “Psilocybin Intervention for Veterans Overcoming Treatment-Resistant Depression” (PIVOT), will be conducted at the following locations: Birmingham VA Health Care System and Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center in Alabama; VA Portland Health Care System in Oregon; Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia; and VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, Washington. The trial comes after President Donald Trump issued an…
A federal judge in Texas just handed gun-rights advocates one of their biggest courtroom wins in years. And it could have major implications for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and the future of the National Firearms Act. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the federal government can no longer require the registration of suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and certain other firearms whose $200 transfer tax was eliminated under the One Big Beautiful Bill. The ruling came in Jensen v. ATF, one of several lawsuits backed by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) challenging what’s left of the…

Florida, Virginia and Texas are the three U.S. states that provide the best conditions for disabled veterans, according to a study. Research by SmileHub found that those three states provide veterans with the best health, economic and infrastructure support, whereas Mississippi, Vermont and Delaware provide the least amount of support in these areas when specifically referencing disabled veterans. There are some 5.8 million veterans in the U.S. with a service-connected disability, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Via the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the federal government provides support to disabled veterans, including through disability benefits, but…

A newly reported CIA assessment places several congressional proposals for deeper U.S.-Israel defense integration in an even more troubling context. The assessment, as described to Capital & Empire by several U.S. officials, reportedly concludes that Israeli officials want to replace politically vulnerable military aid with institutional ties that future presidents and Congress would struggle to unwind, likely to counteract a recent nosedive in support from the American citizenry. The July 29 report from Capital & Empire stated that the document was written primarily by the CIA and circulated within the government that week. It reportedly concluded that Israel expects American…

When The Odyssey begins, the war has already ended. Troy has been captured. The remaining Greek ships have set sail for their homes. The songs have started to turn the battlefield into legend. Odysseus is still missing. For that reason, Homer’s poem has a different effect after having served in the military. Many veterans know this feeling deeply: the war may be over, but the real challenge begins with returning to a world that has changed in their absence. The hero’s main problem is no longer one of winning a war but instead finding his way back to a family…
