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…
Max Blumenthal, the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, has said that Israel is going to continue to escalate the war in Lebanon after a major failure in Iran. Both the US and Israel have been unsuccessful in their stated goals in Iran, making the interim peace agreement nothing more than a surrender document. Blumenthal said in an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi, aired on Sunday, that Israel needs the US for “firepower.” “Israel cannot do anything without US firepower, and the US was not willing to commit the amount of men and materiel to do what Israel needed,” Blumenthal…
For those of us who work 9-5 jobs, doing a big thru-hike like the Pacific Crest Trail is pretty much off the table. Weekends and holiday breaks are our best chance to get out there, hit the trail, and explore the backcountry. Not all weekend itineraries are created equal, though, and on a recent 96-mile backpacking trip in Oregon, I discovered one that’s hard to beat. Though the full Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) runs 400 miles down the eastern side of the state, a weekend-friendly 28 miles between Fort Stevens State Park and Cannon Beach are quite possibly its most…
We have all heard the politicians and gun control advocates say the Founding Fathers only meant muskets. We have heard it said by politicians from New York, Illinois, Minnesota, California, New Mexico, and from gun control advocates everywhere. NewYork Governor Hochul said it when pushing legislation in response to the Bruen decision. The majority opinion in the Wolford decision further counters the claim of “only muskets” made by gun control activists.The Associated Press recently ran an article highlighting how powerful black powder firearms are and calling for them to be regulated. Similar news articles ran…
Israel has continued its military intervention in Lebanon, despite a memorandum of understanding and an interim peace deal that could be the first step to ending the war with Iran. What is making matters worse is that Israel is also preparing for a permanent occupation of Lebanon. This continued military presence in Lebanon is problematic, said Tehran-based Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi. He told RT that Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon reflects its broader territorial ambitions and shows that the US is failing to uphold its commitments under the interim peace deal with Iran. Israel has rejected all calls to stop the…
Israel and Lebanon’s latest peace deal faces an uncertain future after Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy militant group, this week vowed to derail its implementation. The framework agreement — signed in Washington — lays out a plan for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon, pending “the verified disarmament of non-state armed groups,” referring to Hezbollah. The Lebanese army is meant to move into areas vacated by Israel to assert control. The U.S.-brokered accord is the first such deal between Israel and Lebanon since 1983, though that pact collapsed due to opposition from various groups in Lebanon, a…
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and a spate of progressive prosecutors have sent a letter to the heads of 3D printer makers, including one operating inside the People’s Republic of China, urging the companies to “expeditiously work on a printer-based solution to identifying and blocking the manufacture of all 3D printed firearm parts.” A “printer-based” solution means coming up with an algorithm that would block 3D printers from making any object that could be used to craft a firearm. A new bill that became part of New York’s budget establishes a task force that’s supposed…

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May to honor Americans who died in military service. It began as Decoration Day, a post-Civil War tradition of placing flowers on soldiers’ graves. The man who formalized that tradition into a national observance was Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, a Union commander who fought in eight major campaigns, took over an army on the battlefield after its general was killed and went from defending slavery in Congress to voting for the Constitutional amendments that ended it. He left the war as one of the Union’s most successful…

“There he is, in the neighbors’ trash again,” I groaned to my wife about our yellow lab. He’d just run half a mile to the nearest neighbor to investigate their trash. Frustrated by his insistence on leaving our property, I ordered the SpotOn NOVA GPS Fence, and he hasn’t left since (as long as I remember to put the collar on him). He’s a different dog, thanks to this GPS fence. We have two labs, a chocolate and a yellow. The yellow generally leads our chocolate lab off of our 60 acres for hours at a time. It’s typically not…
Illegal aliens are still being rounded up by the Trump administration, and they’re largely being found in so-called sanctuary cities. Minneapolis, the epicenter of much of the outrage about the round-ups, is a prime example. If illegal aliens were handed over to ICE when caught by the local authorities, ICE wouldn’t have needed to swarm entire neighborhoods. But the truth is that sanctuary cities of various types have a long history in this country, and it wasn’t a problem for your average anti-gunner until very recently.Researchers have identified 350 to 400 cities that have implemented…
As a born-and-raised Texan, I’m well aware that the normally docile cow can be dangerous. While it may seem silly, I grew up in a state where crossing fence lines could put you in real danger of aggressive steers — and their gun-toting owners. But a recent death in the Austrian Alps reminds me that angry cows can cause plenty of damage on their own. An elderly couple were hiking through the East Tyrol region on Sunday when they were attacked by a “double-digit” herd of belligerent bovines, according to Kronen Zeitung, Austria’s biggest newspaper. The 67-year-old woman died on…
A Texas man accused of stalking and harassing his ex-girlfriend could regain his right to keep and bear arms after the Texas Supreme Court ordered a lower court to take a second look at the case. Jonathan Noyes has been subject to a protective order issued in 2021 that bars him from talking to, harassing or coming near his ex or her parents, as well as prohibiting him from owning a gun for the rest of his life. Noyes contends that condition violates his Second Amendment rights, and in a decision handed down last week,…
Gun Owners of America is mobilizing its members against a provision in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ recent package of 34 rulemaking notices — specifically the rule governing how long FFLs must retain Form 4473 transaction records and how long ATF itself can hold those records after a dealer goes out of business. The pro-gun rights organization is calling the proposed rule a “step in the right direction” but ultimately inadequate, arguing that the federal government’s long-term retention of firearms transaction records functions as a de facto national gun registry — something explicitly prohibited by federal law.…
