“In common use.”I don’t like that being the standard for whether a gun can be banned or not, but that’s what the Supreme Court said, and that’s what we’re stuck with, at least for now. The phrase, though, applies to most things we’ve got banging around our gun safes, from the single-shot .22 rifle we taught our kids to shoot with, to the AR-15s we bought for various reasons up to and including the fact that some people don’t want us to have them.The idea of a firearm being in common use shouldn’t be a…
More power and more gold. The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 becomes the 53, and those two things cover the bulk of them. The engine is a new inline-six instead of the old four-cylinder, there’s a new exhaust for more sound, and this SUV gets a drift mode for the first time. Plus, there’s a new Golden Accents Package for anyone who misses the badges on their late ’90s Lexus. Small Changes, Big Impact (Photo/Mercedes-Benz) With an all-new GLC just around the corner, Mercedes-Benz has made surprisingly significant changes — ones buyers will notice, starting with a new engine. The 3.0L…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The Great AI Deception of 2025 Last year, pundits and skeptics declared artificial intelligence had hit a wall. They claimed the AI bubble was deflating, that machine cognition had plateaued, and that human ingenuity would remain irreplaceable. They were catastrophically wrong. The year 2026 has arrived, and with it, a seismic shift. The narrative of a stalled revolution was a comforting illusion for a workforce unprepared for the reality now unfolding. Human cognition, long celebrated as our crowning achievement, is being objectively dwarfed by silicon-based intelligence. This isn’t…
If there is one thing almost universally associated with California, it’s sunny, sandy beaches. And if recent work by the National Park Service is any indication, they could serve as the cornerstone of America’s newest national park. But very significant hurdles remain. On Feb. 5, the National Park Service (NPS) opened a call for public comments for a proposal to turn about 22 miles of coastline, plus some nearby hills, into a national park. While the public comment period is currently open until April 6, it is clear that the road to turning these extremely busy, populated, and commercialized parts of…
While Nassau County chief executive Bruce Blakeman hasn’t officially become the Republican standard-bearer in the New York governor’s race, it’s essentially a foregone conclusion that Blakeman will be the one squaring off against incumbent Kathy Hochul this November. According to the New York Post, Blakeman selected Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino as the lieutenant governor candidate; a move that should have Empire State Second Amendment advocates cheering. Instead, they’re holding their applause. Unfortunately, Giardino has declined Blakeman’s offer, which is good news for Fulton County gun owners but is also a sign of just how…
Russia has stated that it will not attack the European Union (EU) or NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) member states unless it is attacked first. The comment came from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who added that Western officials have justified increasing military spending by citing the need to defend NATO’s eastern flank. “We have no intention of attacking Europe. There is no reason to do so,” Lavrov told NTV in an interview aired on Sunday. Russia has repeatedly stated that it has not and does not intend to attack any country, but that it will defend itself if attacked.…
Test-driving new boats for a living sounds fun, but MasterCraft shows it’s tough work. Especially if you’re Phil, who has one of the most punishing jobs around. As the guy who takes wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and ski towboats and drives them in miserable conditions. You Can’t Test a Boat Inside (Photo/MasterCraft) When you’re building a new truck or SUV, you can do a lot of testing without even going outside. Fancy four-post rigs let you simulate years of driving without anyone inside, even running the engine up and down. All before a prototype hits the road for the first time. You…
Back in 2022, Oregon voters approved a “permit-to-purchase” law by the narrowest of margins, but more than three years after that vote Measure 114 has yet to take effect. Ongoing court challenges are one reason for the delay, but the Democrats in control of the legislation have also extended the start date in order to give the state and counties more time to prepare for the implementation of the rule, which requires county sheriffs to be in charge of issuing the permits. As of right now the measure is slated to take effect on March…
My eyes snapped open as I heard crashing all around me and beams of light shot through my bedroom window. The expected ice storm had arrived, wreaking havoc. Trees were bursting and falling everywhere, taking the power grid down with them. The constant hum of a powered home stopped, and an eerie silence took its place. Great. As the sun rose, it was time to get outside and assess the damage. With single-digit temps, I layered up and put on the Kifaru Torlander pants as the outermost layer on my lower body. After hunting in them in Wyoming a few…
Troops from the United Kingdom have crossed Russia’s red line, by being deployed on the ground in Ukraine. Russia stated that the UK has given it every opportunity to view it as a party to the coflict, at this point. Moscow’s ambassador to London, Andrey Kelin, has said that Russia will now be declaring the UK “a de facto party to the conflict.” British involvement is deep and reflects a strategy of containing Russia, Kelin told RIA Novosti in an interview published on Monday, as reported by RT. Russia Mocks Canada Over Promise To Send Troops To Ukraine Previously, France…
Virginia has been in the news in a bad, bad way lately. Cam has been covering it, so I won’t repeat the details of what’s going on. The gist is that it’s awful, and Virginia Democrats are on track to turn Virginia into the next Colorado with draconian, ineffective gun control measures, while at the same time unleashing their criminal chums on the People with crook-friendly laws. What caught my eye in the midst of this fracas is the name of one legislator who is celebrating the unconstitutional infringements: JJ Singh (D), who represents the…
We’ve reported in the past about how the Trump Administration has been somewhat wishy-washy on its Second Amendment promises, sometimes siding with gun owners and sometimes supporting arguably unconstitutional gun laws. Most recently, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has sided with gun owners in a court case challenging the constitutionality of Massachusetts’ handgun roster. On January 26, the DOJ filed an amicus brief with the Boston-based 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Granata v. Healey, siding firmly with the plaintiffs, who argue the handgun roster is unconstitutional. As background, under the auspices of its approved firearms roster,…
This article was originally published by Michael Matulef at The Mises Institute. “The State is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”—Frédéric Bastiat Bastiat’s insight grows more prophetic by the day. Watch what happens in any crisis. The reaction is predictable: people fracture into warring tribes, each certain it’s fighting for survival. Neighbors become informants, families split over ideology, and communities turn against themselves. While citizens exhaust one another in moral crusades, something else advances quietly—the concentration of power. Bureaucracies expand, authority tightens, and the machinery of control grows ever more intricate.…
For the past several years, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has been demanding the Democrat-controlled legislature deliver an “assault weapon” ban to her desk, and each and every session her fellow Democrats have declined to do so. In Grisham’s last year in office, though, Democrats are poised to deliver exactly what she wants; a bill that would take almost every semi-automatic long gun off the market in the Land of Enchantment. SB17, the omnibus gun ban, passed the Senate 21-17. It now moves over to the house side where we have to stop the…
