The best parts of summer happen outdoors, whether it’s a lunch-break loop through the city, a post-work stroll, or a weekend adventure on the trail. And when the adventure wraps, a fresh, satisfying meal nearby makes it even better. Together, a day spent outdoors and food inspired by the season are reminders to slow down and savor more of what summer has to offer. Pairing healthy outdoor fun and food is worth celebrating. That’s why Sweetgreen and AllTrails are spotlighting a collection of iconic urban hikes across the U.S., matched below with seasonal Sweetgreen menu favorites for the perfect post-trail…
In the midst of litigation with parent organization, the NRA Foundation has rebranded itself. Whether or not the lawsuit has anything to do with the name change is not known. Earlier this year the National Rifle Association sued their subsidiary organization NRA Foundation. In the suit the NRA alleges that the Foundation has been withholding funds, are engaged in cyber squatting, are using trademarks owned by them unlawfully, and makes other accusations. The Foundation asserts that they’re trying to establish independence from their parent organization and are simply upholding their fiduciary duties. The Foundation cites…
Imagine being arrested, jailed, and forced onto an ankle monitor. Not because you committed a crime, but because the federal government’s background check system got your record wrong. That’s exactly what happened to Florida gun owner William Brewer, according to a recent report from Gun Owners of America (GOA). Brewer spent 14 days behind bars and another two weeks on an ankle monitor after the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) allegedly misidentified him as a convicted felon during a firearm purchase. The error stemmed from what GOA says was a mistaken match involving a decade-old misdemeanor case in…
Landing on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in May 2019, the first Plague Tale game set a strong precedent for the budding franchise, delivering a narrative-led adventure that put character growth and emotional storytelling at the forefront of the experience. While A Plague Tale: Innocence and its 2022 sequel A Plague Tale: Requiem featured stealth mechanics, combat was far from its primary focus. The same can’t be said, however, for the upcoming Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Back in April, I attended a preview event for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy in Paris. Along with around an hour or so…
I’ve not hidden my support for Brandon Herrera. I’ve purchased exactly one piece of campaign merch in my life, and it’s a t-shirt from Herrera’s campaign. He’s a very pro-gun candidate and that’s important to me. He’s not a one-issue candidate, either, which also matters, and while I don’t agree with him on everything, I do think he’s a solid choice for the House of Representatives. His opponent isn’t.Herrera made not just a solid showing, but came in first during the primary. He avoided a runoff because troubled incumbent Tony Gonzales withdrew from the race…
The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is putting the city of Philadelphia on notice over allegations that carry permits are being revoked without cause In a letter to Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warned that DOJ is commencing an investigation into the city and the Philly police over “possible violations of the Violent Crime Control and LawEnforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 12601, which prohibits state and local governments from engaging in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives individuals of rights protected by…
A Navy sailor pleaded guilty Monday to killing Petty Officer 3rd Class Angelina Resendiz, accepting a plea agreement that calls for at least 40 years in military prison and closes one part of a case that has drawn scrutiny over how the Navy handled her disappearance. Seaman Jermiah Copeland pleaded guilty at Naval Station Norfolk to unpremeditated murder, aggravated assault by strangulation, indecent recording, making a false official statement and multiple obstruction of justice counts, according to local courtroom reporting and multiple reports. Copeland was found not guilty of premeditated murder, several sexual assault allegations, and domestic violence charges, according…
The media is reporting on the “good news” about the Ebola outbreak this week. The first piece of good news is that three new vaccine candidates are being “fast-tracked” to create one that will work well in a short amount of time. Authorities also said that they have downgraded both the confirmed number of cases and deaths in the region affected, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as the second piece of “good news.” First, we heard there’s new funding of up to US$62 million to fast-track the development of vaccine candidates against the type of virus circulating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo…
This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News. A major new Pew Research Center poll shows that in 32 out of 36 countries surveyed, the majority of people now view Israel unfavorably. On average, 67% of adults across these nations hold negative opinions, with only 25% having a positive view. This marks a sharp and historic decline in Israel’s global reputation. The most intense negative feelings come from countries like Turkey (97% unfavorable), Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. But the shift is also dramatic in Western nations that have long been Israel’s closest allies. For example, unfavorable views…
s I write this, the state of Illinois is being sued over its FOID requirement. It’s not even a permit-to-purchase requirement, which is bad enough, but an ID required just to own a firearm for the rest of the time it’s yours. It’s stupid, and the lawsuit is deserved. The thing is, though, I think state officials have some kind of fetish about seeing their state facing lawsuits. It’s why they keep doing things they know will result in legal action. And the latest is a continuing decision to consider a bill that would essentially…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has added several prominent Chinese businesses, including the tech giant Alibaba, electric car maker BYD and search engine Baidu, to its list of Chinese military companies, preventing them from getting U.S. defense contracts. The list, updated and published Monday by the Pentagon, now sanctions well-known, non-state-owned Chinese companies that are not traditionally considered to be in the defense or security sector. It reflects growing wariness of Beijing’s strategy of tapping the strength of non-state businesses for military purposes. Created in 2021 by a congressional mandate, the list seeks to identify Chinese companies that the Pentagon…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A U.S. Army Apache attack helicopter crashed early Tuesday near the Strait of Hormuz, but President Donald Trump said the two crew members aboard were not injured in the incident near the strategic waterway that Iran has effectively closed during the war. What caused the crash remains unclear in a Middle East still reeling after Iran and Israel exchanged fire the previous day in the biggest blow yet to the straining ceasefire in the Iran war. Iranian state television reported Tuesday the Israeli attacks killed at least two members of the country’s air defense…

An Iranian man has pleaded guilty to multiple federal felony counts stemming from what federal prosecutors described as a scheme to violate trade sanctions in place by the United States against his home country. China played a big role in the investigation. The legal case against the 44-year-old Iranian national, Reza Dindar, goes back more than 10 years, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). He was originally indicted by a grand jury in August 2014. It wasn’t until July 2025 when Dindar was arrested in Panama at the United States’ request, leading to extradition in April 2026. All of…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saw for himself a future glimpse of the American military when he recently addressed more than 150 high school seniors set to join the service. The June 4 ceremony, which took place in Washington D.C. at the Capitol’s Chamber of Commerce building, was hosted by Our Community Salutes (OCS), a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 to recognize seniors who plan to enlist in the military following graduation. Hegseth praised current U.S. military retention and enlistment numbers as part of the ‘Hiring Our Heroes’ event. “Over the past 18 years, we have honored over 260,000 young Americans…
