Heading into the 4th of July, when Americans will celebrate their “independence” from England in exchange for dependence on a new system, the pride in that system dropped. Fewer citizens claim to be “proud” to be an American. According to a Gallup poll, this is the lowest level of national pride in 25 years. The poll, released on Monday, comes just days before the United States marks the 250th anniversary of independence. Only 33% of US adults say they are “extremely proud” to be an American, the lowest reading in Gallup‘s trend dating back to 2001. Another 20% of the…
[Editor’s Note: The following article was co-authored by Gabor Nemeth and Arthur Schaper]In recent years, the question of whether college students should be allowed to carry firearms on campus has sparked heated debate across the country. Opponents argue that guns and higher education don’t mix, that young people are impulsive, that firearms would increase accidents, and that academic environments should be sanctuaries free of lethal weapons. Proponents counter that campuses are not immune to crime and that denying adults their right to self-defense leaves them vulnerable. Both sides raise valid concerns, but the national conversation often misses a critical…
A unified chain of command, higher pay grades and a new leadership structure will replace a fractured, decentralized Department of Veterans Affairs police force whose officers were serving as parking valets. The Department of Veterans Affairs announced a series of reforms to its police force on June 24, 2026, addressing long-running problems that the VA’s own Office of Inspector General, along with the Government Accountability Office, had flagged for years without resolution. The VA police force employs more than 5,000 officers across the country, making it one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the federal government. Its mission covers…

California has more gun control than anywhere else in the country, and with the World Cup taking place all around the United States, one has to imagine that anywhere associated with the event will get the highest security possible. After all, wouldn’t a World Cup game make a juicy terrorism target? And as Europeans come to the United States for the game, fall in love with places like Buc-Ee’s, and recognize that America is an absolutely amazing place, I’d really rather they not see the worst side of us.Unfortunately, gun-controlled California seems to be a…
A bipartisan effort to remove a controversial U.S.-Israel defense integration provision from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) never received a vote on the House floor after the House Rules Committee declined to make the amendment eligible for debate. The amendment, introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) would have removed Section 219 of the NDAA, formerly Section 224. The Rules Committee’s list of amendments made “in order” did not include the bipartisan proposal, ensuring it would not receive debate or a recorded vote before the House considered the broader defense bill. The decision effectively prevented lawmakers…
As a kid, I have horrifying memories of backpacking food. On a trip in California, my dad insisted we eat old bags of chili mac. My mom once tried to rehydrate freeze-dried chicken breast, resulting in the driest dinner known to man. Thankfully, in the last decade or so, backpacking brands have made huge improvements. These days, small, boutique brands serve up dishes with premium ingredients like wild boar, Thai basil, duck confit, and more. If you’re a foodie who isn’t willing to make sacrifices in the backcountry, you’ve got plenty of choices. On a recent week-long backpacking trip in…
Earlier this year an Oregon lawmaker was accused of bullying and intimidation of his colleague. Through correspondence concerning a records request a state official admitted that there was no investigation. During a work session that the Oregon House Judiciary Committee held, it was alleged that the chairman acted improperly. Chairman Jason Kropf, D-54, was accused of intimidating and bullying another member of the committee, Rep. Thủy Trần, D-45. In the days that followed, several complaints were made against Kropf. Earlier this month an official with the Oregon Office of Legislative Counsel admitted that there was…
A new report has revealed that a live-action adaptation of Persona is in development at Netflix. Franchise creator ATLUS has recently confirmed its next entry in the mainline Persona games and is also preparing for the launch of Persona 4 Revival. Developed by P-Studios, an ATLUS division, the Persona series started out as a spin-off from the Shin Megami Tensei brand. The first title, Revelations: Persona, was launched in 1996. Since then, the Persona franchise has released four more mainline games and several of its own spin-offs. The long-rumored Persona 6 was also confirmed earlier in June 2026, almost ten…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: We Are Being Conditioned To Expect Some Sort Of A “Big Reveal”, And All Of A Sudden It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens It isn’t just a coincidence that there has been an explosion in interest in the subject of UFOs and aliens recently. The truth is that we are being conditioned. For decades, books, movies, television shows, and video games have been conditioning us to think a certain way about encounters with very strange unidentified…
The purpose of the Second Amendment is the defense of this nation. Our Founding Fathers were generally smart men, and they recognized that defending our nation might mean fighting our government. It’s part of why they were largely distrustful of standing armies in the first place and preferred the militia. But, as things have chanced in the last 250 years, a lot of people figure that the purpose of the Second Amendment has also changed. They think it’s about hunting or, if they’re feeling charitable, about personal protection, and not anything else. It’s why they…
NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk announced plans Wednesday for one of the biggest stock sales ever by taking public a space company that is currently losing billions of dollars a year. A filing shows that his SpaceX lost $2.6 billion from operations last year on $18.7 billion in revenue, and the losses kept piling up at the start of this year, too. The prospectus did not put a dollar figure on the amount Musk hopes to raise, but various reports have put it at $75 billion or so. An offering of that size would easily surpass the current title…
Garett Bolles couldn’t help but think about his late grandfather, Ralph, while meeting a group of veterans last weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. Ralph, a Korean War Army veteran, died about two months ago. He passed on the value of military sacrifice to his grandson, Bolles, the Denver Broncos’ All-Pro left tackle, who, in turn, is passing it on to his children. It’s the type of patriotic passion that motivates Bolles to spend time with veterans, hearing their stories and saying, “Thank you for your service.” “We, as American people, are blessed in so many ways,” Bolles told Military.com in…
