Iowa’s always been pretty decent when it comes to gun laws, but the state has made a couple of major improvements over the past few years. In 2021, the state’s permitless carry law kicked in, and the following year voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that declares firearm ownership a fundamental individual right and mandating that courts apply “strict scrutiny” to any future gun control legislation. Those advances could be in danger, though, unless Iowa gun owners turn out in force this November. While Democrat candidates like Christina Bohannan and Josh Turek don’t…
A veteran with mobility issues who served in Operation Desert Storm said he has lost more than $150,000 after a construction project went awry. Ed Smith, 73, of Kansas City, and his family claim they began building another home on their second lot last year. But the family alleged the contractors they hired to complete the project took the $157,000 and did not complete it after over a year. The money was reportedly was paid from Smith’s retirement funds. “In exchange for $157,000 of my dad’s complete retirement funds, we have a hole in our backyard in the wrong place,”…

In fact, I’ve been trying for years to find a pair of outdoor shorts with the right fit. I have bought, tried on, and returned so many pairs of women’s shorts on REI’s website that I wonder if I’m flagged in their system. My body isn’t proportional between my hips, waist, and butt, and women’s clothing sizes are wildly inconsistent across brands, making it close to impossible…
A former Army recruiter in New Jersey whose office was trusted with the personal information of incoming service members has been charged with bank fraud and identity theft after getting caught trying to retrieve roughly $266,000 in loans and lines of credit. Court documents obtained by Military.com show that Jane Crosby, 35, of Jersey City, N.J., sought multiple credit union loans and credit card accounts. She was charged by the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey with trying to use the identities of seven recruits to open credit union accounts and take out nearly $266,000 in loans and…
Iranian lawmakers are debating the wording of a proposed deal with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. President Donald Trump insisting an agreement is getting closer. Trump said the talks are “moving along” and gave no additional comment when asked about progress by White House reporters late Thursday. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said earlier this week that an understanding with Oman had been reached “in principle,” and state TV cited one lawmaker on Friday as saying the final text and details of an agreement with Muscat will be announced “soon.” Some Iranian politicians are pushing for…
Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton will have to take his fight over the “gun-free” state fair to the Texas Supreme Court after an appellate court upheld the ban on Thursday. Paxton, along with several individual plaintiffs, filed suit after the State Fair of Texas announced in 2024 that the lawful carrying of firearms would no longer be allowed. The move came after a shooting during the fair in 2023, one that was committed by someone who couldn’t legally carry a gun. The lawsuit contended that the State Fair of Texas and the…

While homicides are down almost 19% nationwide this year compared to 2025’s already historic lows, murders are on the rise in Chicago. According to the Crime Index, homicides are 9.1% higher in the Windy City than they were at this point last year. The city saw its worst day of violence since 2024 last Friday, and shootings in Chicago doubled last weekend compared to the same weekend in 2025. Chicago Democrats are now calling for a dedicated Office of Gun Violence Prevention at City Hall as a response to the increase in homicides, but as…
WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard members and U.S. Park Police patrolled the deck around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday as President Donald Trump’s administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix a botched renovation before the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. The patrols came two days after Trump said authorities had made “multiple arrests” of people he insisted were responsible for damage to the peeling coating after an algae bloom occurred. The liner was installed as part of his $14 million-plus project. The president has confirmed the problems most likely require draining the pool again for liner repairs and he…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Moscow’s Foreign Ministry warned on June 18 that any North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) attack on Russia would trigger a “decisive and devastating” retaliation, according to officials. The warning followed what Russian authorities described as the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow in years, with more than 200 drones intercepted by Russian air defense systems. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that any NATO aggression would be met with overwhelming force, cautioning Western commanders that they “should realize what they are pushing Europe toward,” as reported by state media.…
On Monday, I wrote about a mass shooting at a school in the Philippines. Most of the mass shootings I write about are, unfortunately, American, but when there is one outside of the United States, I try to talk about it if for no other reason than to remind people that these aren’t “uniquely American,” despite what some people claim. When I wrote that, I didn’t think I’d turn around and have another high-profile shooting with three dead, this time in Montreal. There, a killer left three people dead, including one police officer.The gunman who…
