There’s a certain beauty in stepping into the river on a crisp morning. The mist lifts off the water, the air carries that sharp chill of early morning, and every cast holds the possibility of the first strike. But anyone who has fished in these conditions knows that cold is more than an inconvenience. Weather can shorten your day, numb your fingers, and become a safety issue. Insulation isn’t just about comfort; it can also mean the difference between packing up early and fishing through to the evening hatch. Dressing smart on cold days makes fishing safer and more enjoyable;…

Years ago, I got very interested in discussing masculinity as a concept. I’d seen way too many so-called guides that basically argued that to be a man, you need to be some kind of ass or player. If you weren’t scoring with a different chick all the time, or you weren’t basically some kind of jerk to everyone around you, you weren’t a man. I wrote a book about masculinity, and I looked elsewhere for sanity. I’d hoped I’d found it in something called The Good Men Project. Instead, what I found was a leftist…

Team U.S.A. excels at many sports at the Olympics — snowboarding, downhill skiing, curling — but traditionally, cross-country skiing is not on that list. In fact, a U.S. man hasn’t medaled in a single cross-country skiing event at the Olympics since 1976. At least, that was the case — until today. After competing against a stacked field in the cross-country individual sprint, American Ben Ogden, 25, took home the silver medal. View this post on Instagram The silver marks the first time in a half-century that an American has stood on an Olympic podium for cross-country skiing. The Race In…

Anti-gun bias in the media is hardly a new phenomenon, but rarely is it as blatant as a report from NBC’s Today show, which gave anti-gun activist Nicole Hockley of Sandy Hook Promise free rein to demonize online influencers in the 2A space as well bash tech companies for supposedly exposing kids to gun videos.  The premise for Today’s reporting is a new report by Sandy Hook Promise and the group Children and Screens called “Untargeting Kids: A Call for Platform Transparency — Putting Parents Back in Charge of Firearm Safety.” The report claims, in…

United States envoy to NATO Matthew Whitaker has likened NATO’s (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) European members to children, who must eventually leave parental care and get a job. Whitaker said that while the U.S. “still loves” its allies on the continent, they need to grow up. At the presentation of an annual report on Monday, the organizers of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) said, “for decades, Europe thrived under an American security umbrella that allowed it to prioritize integration and prosperity over hard power. That era has ended.” At that same presentation, Whitaker said, “I completely reject everything I just…

I know that New Mexico doesn’t have a lot of water, all things considered–yes, I’ve been there, and it’s a beautiful state that I considered going back to until recently–but there’s something in that water that needs to be studied, because it’s making people stupid. As Cam noted on Monday, New Mexico’s Senate just passed a gun control bill that would ban many popular semiautomatic firearms and standard capacity magazines. SB 17 is currently scheduled for its first committee hearing on Wednesday in the House Commerce and Economic Development committee.The Citizens Committee for the Right…

Saguaro National Park is 92,000 acres, but most people only see a tiny portion of what this Arizona landmark has to offer. The park has a few miles of scenic drives and some day hiking trails, but almost 80% of the park is designated wilderness. If you really want to explore its diverse landscape, you’ve got one option: backpacking. With zero drive-in campsites, the only way to camp in Saguaro is to hike in and stay at one of its six backcountry sites. Many of the park’s greatest landmarks are several miles into the desert, so backpacking through the park…

Louisiana Republicans are taking aim at one of the state’s most expansive “gun-free zones” this session with a bill that would allow lawful concealed carry on the campuses of colleges and universities that receive public funds.  HB 99, authored by Rep. Danny McCormick, would allow “[a]ny individual who is eighteen years of age or older and who is lawfully permitted to possess a firearm pursuant to state and federal law” to carry a firearm on the campus of any college or university in the state, subject to a few restrictions.The provisions of this Section do…

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to block a major bridge between Canada and the United States over ownership concerns. The bridge is suspended between Michigan and Ontario, and Trump is demanding ownership of at least half of the crossing. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump said he would not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, to open until the United States is “fully compensated” and Canada treats its neighbor with what he described as “fairness and respect.” “With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps,…

A federal measure that would restrict states and municipalities from imposing excise taxes that target the firearm industry and lawful consumers as a means of funding gun control programs is drawing support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearm industry trade association. Larry Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel, said the measure is a direct result of states targeting guns and gun owners with taxes to pay for anti-gun programs. “A growing number of state politicians are testing a new way to burden the lawful exercise of the Second Amendment by imposing targeted excise taxes on…

There are a number of ongoing lawsuits challenging multiple gun control laws in Delaware, including Rigby v. Jennings, which takes on the state’s ban on possessing, manufacturing, and assembling “untraceable” firearms. A U.S. District Court judge, however, granted a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of much of the law back in September, 2022.  Apparently someone didn’t get the memo, because the state Department of Justice sent a letter to Judge Maryellen Noreika this week informing her of an arrest and prosecution under the enjoined statutes. Delaware informed the district court today in our lawsuit challenging the state’s…
