United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the Iranian government is using the Strait of Hormuz as an “economic nuclear weapon”. Rubio added that the U.S. ruling class will not allow Iran to continue to use the vital waterway to control the direction of the war. According to multiple sources, including Axios, Iran has passed a new offer to Washington, which includes a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while deferring nuclear negotiations to a later stage. While speaking on Fox News on Monday, as reported by RT, Rubio was skeptical of…
After months of waiting, the T-bar was spinning at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. It had been an unseasonably dry December and January. Finally, the snow was stacked up enough to open the infamous High Lift, a surface lift serving double-black extreme terrain. After riding groomed runs and park laps all season, I was yearning to get off-piste and back into my favorite cliff bands. At the top of the lift, I strapped into a 160 W Jones Howler, with Jones Mercury FASE bindings, the perfect board in my quiver for big mountain freestyle riding. I strapped in and rode the…
I’ve spent too many mornings frustrated with a soaking wet blind bag after wading across the marsh. This morning was different. As I slid the Divebomb Waterproof Zip Backpack off my shoulders and unzipped it, I was happy to see (and feel) my shells and camera gear were dry. While waterproof blind bags have been around for a while, I’ve never been a fan of the traditional roll-top dry bags. They waste a lot of space and never feel comfortable while on my back. After several months of using the Divebomb Waterproof Zip Backpack in the dove field and duck blind, I…
When we recently reported on a federal measure that would grant eligible veterans and active-duty military personnel nationwide concealed-carry privileges, effectively overriding state-level restrictions that can differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another, we noted that the bill could face pushback from pro-gun advocates. Boy, were we ever right! The measure, the Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act, applied specifically to special operations-type military personnel and veterans, and the author, Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-North Carolina, touted those personnel’s credentials to carry a firearm for self-defense. However, some in the pro-gun community believe the legislation slights the average American citizen, whose…
Last week, Palantir Technologies, headed by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, released a technological manifesto. However, it was more of a dystopian blueprint than anything else. Palantir has unmasked itself, revealing its authoritarian face and desire for control over humanity. To be fair, Palntir is only one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations. It has been participating in and enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents. According to a report by TruthDig, the most damning of all…
Peak summer tourist season is quickly approaching for the National Park Service (NPS), and it still doesn’t have an official leader. On Monday, April 27, the Trump Administration announced it had withdrawn Scott Socha’s nomination as Director of the NPS. The change follows backlash surrounding Socha’s past business dealings. What Happened The Context On Feb. 11, Trump announced Socha as his nominee to head the National Park Service. This position requires confirmation by the Senate. For nearly 3 decades, Socha worked as an executive for Delaware North, a hospitality company that operates hotels, dining, and other visitor services in national…
In the days since a California man armed with a pump action shotgun and a .38 caliber handgun rushed through the security perimeter at the White House Correspondents Dinner with the intent of assassinating President Trump and other top officials, many Democrats and their media allies have downplayed or outright ignored the suspect’s leftist political leanings and have instead focused exclusively on demanding more gun controls. Pennsylvania Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta took his argument to X, where it did have the response that the anti-gun Democrat was hoping for. Yea we need a BALLROOM:BanAllLethalLoopholes,RestrictOwnershipOfMilitary-grade weapons— Rep. Malcolm…
Kid Rock flew to Fort Belvoir, Va., on Monday and took part in Army Apache helicopter flights alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to Pentagon officials and flight tracking data. The Pentagon defends the flight.The visit comes weeks after Army aviators drew scrutiny for flying similar helicopters near Kid Rock’s Tennessee home and over a protest in Nashville, prompting questions about safety, authorization and U.S. taxpayer dollars. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the flights were part of a “Freedom 250” community relations event in the National Capital Region, tied to events marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.“Robert ‘Kid Rock’ Ritchie participated…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. A Man-Made Catastrophe What I am about to tell you is not a prediction; it is a warning based on hard evidence. By the end of 2027, if the Strait of Hormuz accrues many more months of wartime closure, millions of people will starve to death. Not because of a drought or a plague, but because a small group of men in Washington and Tel Aviv chose war over peace. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has already cut off the flow of fertilizer to the world’s most…

Images by the author I admit it… I have a “thing” for 1911s, especially the old-school .45 A1 variety. I own more than one 1911, and I think my 1911A1 copies in .45 ACP are my favorites. I have owned many 1911s over the years, some fancier than others. I also own the modern interpretation, the 9mm 2011, in more than one brand. If you want a no-frills, crisp single-action trigger, accurate, reliable pistol, then you look at a 1911. This has been the way since the platform appeared in 1911… hence, its name. A Quick Look Back at The…
CNN’s ratings may be circling the drain, but the script hasn’t changed. Within minutes of another attempt on President Trump’s life, the network was already doing what it always does: blaming guns before the facts were even known. Minutes after the third attempt to murder President Donald J. Trump — along with senior members of his staff — CNN’s Idiot-in-Chief Brian Stelter was already on the air calling for more gun control. “As CNN anchor Victor Blackwell put it when I joined him on air this morning, ‘The people in that room were confronted with what schoolchildren and moviegoers and…
A Pennsylvania physician says the medical community and politicians need to “act meaningfully” to address gun violence among children, but like so many other pro-gun-control opinion pieces, editorials, and soundbites that I’ve been exposed to today, the doctor clammed up when it came to offering an explicit course of action that should be taken. Dr. Matthew G. Masiello is a pediatrician by trade, and as such I’d like to think that he genuinely cares about his young patients and kids in general. After every mass shooting involving children, the script is the same.“Guns don’t fire…
This article was originally published by Ulrich F. at The Mises Institute. If we were to identify the most sacrosanct dogma of Western modernity—the one that no one questions—it would undoubtedly be representative democracy. We automatically assume that it is the best form of government that humanity has ever invented—a sort of “end of history” method of governance and the ultimate political achievement. Representative Democracy Is Not Democratic The first problem is conceptual and fatal: Representative democracy is simply not democratic. One person cannot perfectly represent another’s freedom, desires, needs, or individuality. Consider an individual representing 100,000 others, as is…
As my buddy and I crested the top of a steep ridge, we stopped for a quick breather. The midday heat had arrived, and after ripping ourselves to shreds in the dense vegetation of middle Tennessee bluff country, things were getting sweaty. My buddy pointed at the KUIU Rival Turkey Vest I was wearing and said, “I need to get something like that. My stinkin’ vest is too dang heavy for this type of thing.” The “type of thing” we were doing was one of the more brutal ways I’ve chased gobblers. We were in his boat on a local…
Most TTAG readers are likely familiar with ZEV Technologies, a Washington state-based company that was launched 20 years ago and, at the time, specialized in top-quality Glock aftermarket parts. Later, the company began making complete pistols, and more recently, AR-style rifles and firearm components. Purchased by SilencerCo back in 2024, the company’s latest introduction is the Folding Defensive Platform, touted as the “ultimate solution for shooters seeking a compact, powerful, and highly concealable defensive weapon system.” Over the past several years, Washington has moved politically further and further toward the anti-gun end of the political spectrum. In 2023, state lawmakers…
