This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved… Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer. Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on…
If someone wants to take their life, and they own a firearm, they’re likely to use it, unfortunately. If they don’t have one, they might buy one, or they might look for some other way to provide a permanent end to a temporary problem. Either way, the issue with suicides isn’t about guns, but about the mental health crises that lead to them. But, last month, a study was released that supposedly linked so-called ghost guns–unserialized firearms, typically made at home via various means–to suicides.I wasn’t impressed by the study.But, unsurprisingly, The Trace was. They…

With Democrat legislators pushing the most anti-gun bills in recent history through the Virginia General Assembly, including a very restrictive ban on semi-auto firearms and gun magazines, many gun owners in the state thought things couldn’t get much worse. Time to think again. HB 1542 would prohibit carrying “assault firearms” in public places, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. And according to a report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), the way the measure is written makes it far more dangerous than it seems. “Because of vague definitions, HB 1524 effectively criminalizes carrying any center-fire semi-automatic firearm…
The U.S. Virgin Islands government is currently being sued by the Department of Justice over several of its draconian gun laws, but the litigation isn’t stopping the territory’s legislature from working to enact even more restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. Now the territory’s sole Second Amendment advocacy group claims the legislature is suppressing the voices of gun owners, in part by scheduling hearings with little advance notice. Getting to the legislature to testify can be a time consuming ordeal for those who don’t live on the island where hearings are taking…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction For years, the cumulative damage from decades of martial arts training lingered as a low-grade, ever-present pain. A damaged finger and a back that protested at the thought of a jog were my constant companions. The Western medical system offered little promise other than suggesting painkillers or invasive surgeries, options rooted in a profit-driven model that rarely addresses root causes [1]. As someone deeply committed to natural health and self-reliance, I was profoundly skeptical of any so-called ‘miracle cure.’ That skepticism was challenged, however, by the discovery of BPC-157,…
The Florida Department of Health’s officials have released an update on a measles outbreak at a university. There have been 46 confirmed cases of measles across Collier County from January 1st to February 7th. Fifty-seven students at Ave Maria University are quarantined, so far, as the school works on providing free vaccinations to those who may want them. The vigorous campaign to vaccinate the masses is being promoted as a way to protect the community. Local fire departments are also working closely with health officials to hand out vaccines. Collier County has said that the majority of the Ave Maria University…
Most flipper knives require a bit of actual flipping to open the blade. But with the WEKnife Speedliner, a late 2024 introduction designed by Tashi Bharucha, it’s more like pulling a trigger. WEKnife sent me a Speedliner Flipper Knife with a titanium handle around the holidays. I hadn’t sought it out, but it arrived with a brief note of thanks and carried my name on the handle. I didn’t think much of reviewing it until now, a couple of months later, as it has really earned a spot in my daily rotation. While the Speedliner seemed to garner a lukewarm…
New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment…and unconstitutional gun control. How is a state, with a population of just over two million people, always the vetting ground for gun control zealots’ bright ideas? Before legislation is handed over to legislators in “un-gun friendly” states like California, Illinois, New York and Washington, it always seems like gun control groups like Michael Bloomberg backed Everytown, or Giffords use New Mexico as a beta-test to see how much “they” can get away with before ending up arguing before SCOTUS. Under the abysmal “leadership” of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the answer to violence committed…

In only the second event of the Bassmaster Elite Series 2026 season, a rookie took home the trophy. With a win by a mere 1.5 pounds on the Bassmaster Elite Series at Lake Martin, Fisher Anaya continued the trend of young, hot anglers dominating professional bass fishing. The Elite series newcomer ended the weekend with a blue trophy and a $100K paycheck. “This feels awesome,” Anaya said. “I didn’t know if I’d ever win one of these. My buddy Gerald Swindle always tells me it’s not easy to win one of these, so if you get a shot to win, you better…
The idiotic game of “ding dong ditch” has been around a lot longer than the last few years. Friends of mine were fond of the game when I was growing up, all too many years ago. You basically just knock on a door or ring a doorbell, then take off running.It annoys the homeowner, it gives kids a bit of a thrill, but ultimately, no harm is done. It’s like calling someone and asking if their refrigerator is running.These days, some have tried to liken the game to others kicking doors like they’re trying to…
United States ruler Donald Trump said that kidnapping Cuba’s ruler, Miguel Diaz-Canel, “wouldn’t be very tough.” But Trump added that an operation to take out the Cuban leader won’t be necessary anyway, due to the worsening US-induced energy shortage. Trump made the comments while speaking on Tuesday to reporters aboard Air Force One. He praised his strategy of economically isolating the island nation, which has been under a US trade embargo since 1960, as a means of forcing Havana to make concessions. “In the meantime, there’s an embargo. There’s no oil. There’s no money. There’s no anything,” he said, taking…
The White House announced a new director of the National Park Service (NPS) last week — and parks advocacy groups are not happy about the choice. Hospitality executive Scott Socha is President Trump’s pick to lead the NPS, according to a list of new federal appointments announced on Feb. 11. Unlike many past directors of the NPS, Socha has no apparent experience in public service or conservation. Moreover, Socha’s company, Delaware North, specializes in hotels and resorts, many of which are located within national parks. Delaware North has even successfully sued the NPS over the ownership of iconic names, including…
Before the Lewiston shooting, Maine had what was termed a “yellow flag” law. It worked like a red flag law, but it was more limited in who could seek an order. Basically, it left it up to mental health experts after an evaluation. Unfortunately, the Lewiston killer had seen mental health professionals who didn’t do anything. It was reported that the law was too complex and that no one was really sure how to use it, so no one bothered.A terrible excuse, in my view, but whatever.Regardless of my take, though, Maine implemented a red…
Gun Owners of America is celebrating what it calls another shot across the bow of the ATF. Congress and President Trump just signed the latest federal funding bill into law, and tucked inside is a $40 million cut to the ATF’s budget. It’s not the sweeping rollback some in the House originally pushed for, but GOA says it’s part of a bigger trend: stopping the agency’s growth, and shrinking it where possible. According to GOA, the ATF’s budget steadily climbed from roughly $1.4 billion in 2019 to about $1.75 billion by 2022. The Biden administration later requested as much as…
As I make my way around a hairpin left, a 30-degree slope enters my vision. Undeterred, I turn on X-mode and start to ascend. The Dunlop Grandtrek all-terrain tires momentarily slip and strain as I climb. But the 2026 Toyota BZ Woodland dutifully marches up the grade, greeting me with a stunning vista of rolling hills and avocado farms beneath me as the cobalt Pacific Ocean wafts in the distance. With 8.4 inches of ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and nearly 400 pound-feet of torque to play with, the bZ Woodland makes ventures like this comfortable. And, thankfully, I only…
New Mexico’s legislature is supposed to adjourn at noon on Thursday, and the next 48 hours are going to be a chaotic rush to move bills before the deadline. Gun owners and FFLs in the state got a small bit of good news early Tuesday morning, when a House committee delayed a vote on SB 17, but it’s still far too soon to declare victory. The House Judiciary committee didn’t take up the sweeping gun ban and gun dealer bill until late Monday evening, and after about an hour of discussion decided to hold off…
