Just a few months from now, California’s mountain lions will finally have a safe way to cross one of Los Angeles County’s busiest highways. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is a vegetated overpass connecting the isolated Santa Monica Mountains to the south with the Simi Hills on the other side of Highway 101. When finished in November, it will be the largest such crossing in the world, offering safe passage to many species that frequently die trying to cross the highway’s 10 lanes of traffic. Bobcats, grey fox, and mule deer will all likely benefit, but the mountain lions benefit…
The Bruen decision ended the idea of “may issue” permitting once and for all. The arbitrary decision process of who gets a permit and who doesn’t creates rights for some while excluding them for others, and that’s not how our civil liberties are supposed to work. Anti-gunners hated the decision, of course, because they want to make the lawful carry of firearms untenable. If they can’t ban it outright, they want to make the process so onerous that many will simply decide that it’s just not worth it.However, they don’t seem to grasp reality in…
The Department of Justice just picked a HUGE fight with Denver. In a newly filed lawsuit, the DOJ is challenging the city’s long-standing ban on so-called “assault weapons,” arguing it violates the Second Amendment by prohibiting firearms that are in common use: specifically AR-15-style rifles. They’re not being subtle about it. “The Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. At the center of the case is Denver’s ordinance that makes it a crime to possess certain semi-automatic rifles. According to the DOJ, that includes AR-15-style firearms. By…
SWAT officers responded to an emergency situation on Tuesday at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Mass., which was later discovered to involve an on-duty officer. Police were called to the facility, known as Natick Labs, at 9:15 a.m. for a possible distressed individual. “This person that we were looking for was an on-duty security officer for the base,” Natick Police Department Chief Jim Hicks said in a news conference. “The officers were working to talk with him, to discuss with him what was going on. He fled the officers into an area of the base, where…
United States ruler Donald Trump is struggling to win over the American civilians. His disapproval rating is now at an all-time high of 62%. In a survey published by the Washington Post on Monday, most Americans are dissatisfied with Trump’s job performance, while his approval stands at just 37%. Trump has repeatedly attacked the outlet, accusing it of publishing “fake” news stories. However, with the War Department’s push toward Christian nationalism, many Americans are feeling like they are sliding into tyranny. Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth Pushes Religion In The Military Opposition to the Iran war is a key factor in Trump’s…
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s official hunting and fishing access order is now at the center of a fight over local hunting restrictions in National Park Service units where hunting is already allowed. Burgum signed Secretarial Order 3447 in January 2026, directing Interior agencies to expand hunting and fishing access, remove unnecessary barriers, and ensure consistent policy across department-managed lands and waters. Now, an April 21 internal memo and park-by-park spreadsheet have raised questions about how that order will apply to local hunting restrictions created by park superintendents and land managers. Interior and the National Park Service haven’t publicly posted those…
The head of United States Central Command (CENTCOM), Admiral Brad Cooper, told journalists on Monday that the US military “eliminated” a small Iranian naval force in the region. Iranian military officials have already said that the US is lying about these claims. Cooper claimed that the US military sank at least six Iranian boats, boasting of “an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the strait, including AH-64 Apache and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters.” “The US claim regarding the sinking of a number of Iranian combat boats is a lie,” a senior Iranian military official told IRIB news agency, as…
Whether you’re out for a casual stroll or tackling 20-mile days, the best men’s hiking pants are your primary line of defense. These slacks combine rugged durability with dynamic stretch, managing your sweat on hot climbs while still fending off light rain and heavy brush.

From Baja desert trails to the rainy Alaskan coast, we logged 300 miles and 30,000 feet of vertical gain to find the best men’s hiking pants. We crowned the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants…
Assistant Attorney General and head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Harmeet K. Dhillon told Denver officials that the city would face a federal lawsuit unless they ceased enforcing the city’s ban on so-called assault weapons, and she’s followed through with that threat in federal court. Promises made, promises kept. The DOJ just sued the City of Denver over their AR-15 ban. pic.twitter.com/4TrDTFVDG1— Hannah Hill (@hannahhill_sc) May 5, 2026The lawsuit not only claims that Denver’s gun ban violates the Second Amendment, but that the pattern and practices of the Denver Police Department in enforcing the…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhen people talk about preparedness, ammo tends to get tossed around like it’s candy at a parade. Some folks stockpile thousands of rounds for every caliber under the sun. Others think two boxes of 9mm ammunition in the nightstand drawer should suffice. So… how much is actually enough? Let’s cut through the social media firestorm that can arise when discussing this issue and get to the real numbers—for pistols, rifles, and shotguns—with a focus on personal and family defense. I want to caveat this by stating that this is about having enough ammunition on…

When a deadly virus lands in a California town and starts ravaging the population, most people don’t have a clue what’s happening until it’s too late. There’s no warning. No broadcast telling you to get out now. Just armed guards, lockdown orders, and people in hazmat suits who aren’t there to help. Outbreak (1995) keeps it simple. A virus spreads. People aren’t ready. And when the government shows up, you’re already out of options. It’s a reminder that when decisions get made behind closed doors, the rest of us live with the fallout. The movie shows a scenario that feels…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPicture this: It’s New Year’s Eve. An Uber driver parks his car at a remote trailhead in L.A.’s Santa Monica Mountains. His phone pings a nearby cell tower. His Uber app logs his route, and he films a small fire he’s just started. Five months earlier, he asked an AI to create a dystopian image of a burning forest. Fast forward to October 2025, and that driver, Jonathan Rinderknecht, is arrested for starting the Palisades Fire—one of Los Angeles’ worst wildfires, killing 12 people and causing $150 billion in damages. How did authorities catch…

Running a suppressor on your hunting rifle changes the entire experience. The blast that used to send every deer in the county sprinting for the next county over becomes something far more manageable. Your ears stay intact. Your hunting buddy doesn’t need to wait five minutes for you to dig out your ear pro. And the follow-up shot, if you need it, happens without your hearing turning into a high-pitched ring. But none of that matters much if you’ve paired your can with the wrong cartridge. The cartridge you shoot suppressed matters just as much as the suppressor itself, sometimes…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOctober’s rolling in with cooler air, falling leaves, and a wake-up call to do some fall weather prepping. In Mississippi, Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Week (October 6-11, 2025) is pushing families to prep for tornadoes, floods, and early frosts—threats that hit hard in Tornado Alley. Other states like Arkansas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are joining in with similar campaigns, including South Carolina’s Earthquake Preparedness Week (October 12-18), which ties perfectly into a broader fall preparedness push. This isn’t about fear or hype—it’s about practical, low-cost steps to keep your household safe, whether you’re dodging…
Once upon a time, assault weapon bans were based on certain features that were present on certain rifles but not on so-called hunting guns. Folding or collapsible stocks, barrel shrouds, bayonet lugs, and the like were the line in the sand, and the law said you couldn’t have more than a couple of them. We all pointed out how none of those had a damn thing to do with how a gun functioned and were just cosmetic. Gun companies even started making guns that were compliant with the laws, all without changing how they worked in the least. …
