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…
The newly created Military Spouse Commission has opened an online form to allow those with vested interests in the commission to submit comments. President Donald Trump created the commission on Monday via an executive order to support the lives and experiences of spouses of those enlisted in service. The commission will provide recommendations to address themes including housing, employment, health care and childcare. There are more than 1 million military spouses in the U.S. They are affected by numerous issues including disproportionate levels of unemployment, according to Stars & Stripes. The publication reported that 20% of military spouses are unemployed,…
I really get sick of the claim that mass killings with a firearm only happen in the United States. That’s what the phrase “uniquely American” means when describing the phenomenon. To be fair, we do have more than most people, even if you account for population, but we are also a very different country than most. Thailand, however, seems to also be having a bit of a problem. Despite acting to tighten gun restrictions after previous massacres, it doesn’t look like it did a whole lot of good.Not today, at least, as six people are…
Some military photographs make their importance obvious, while others look ordinary until you learn the story behind the image. Five brothers pose aboard a Navy cruiser. Women sort packages in a crowded warehouse. A pilot stands among children near an airfield. At first glance, photographs could be routine snapshots of military life, but once you learn the story that led up to or followed the camera click, you’ll realize they’re anything but. Each image carries a story of survival, loss, courage or deception that the photograph alone cannot explain. Once you know these stories, it becomes impossible to see the…
Widows of service members who died while serving our country are often faced with a difficult choice, years after their loss. By federal law, a financial benefit known as Dependency and Indemnity Compensation or DIC, equating to about $1,700 per month, ends as soon as a surviving military spouse remarries, or stays in place as long as the spouse remains single through age 55. The organization known as the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) has been urging lawmakers to protect the DIC benefit, rather than strip it away, no matter a surviving spouse’s marital status. “The compensation is intended…

National Purple Heart Day falls on Aug. 7 every year, honoring the men and women wounded or killed while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s an unofficial observance — businesses and government offices don’t close — but it’s marked widely in practice, with states and cities pausing in recognition and Major League Baseball teams routinely honoring local recipients during pregame ceremonies. The Nation’s Oldest Military Decoration On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington personally ordered creation of the Badge of Military Merit, meant to recognize bravery in combat at a time when the Continental Army had almost no formal…
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” There are times when it makes perfect sense to use it, too, because some people are idiots and deserve to understand why some of us argue that stupid should hurt. And, unfortunately, some of these people are folks with guns. I won’t say “gun owners” because it doesn’t necessarily apply to people who have stolen firearms in their possession, and it probably doesn’t apply to those who have guns with removed serial numbers, since most of those were stolen in the first place.It’s especially…
Pragmata’s producer reveals that the Capcom sci-fi game had an entirely female team on its development staff, focused solely on Diana’s character. Credit: Image via Capcom Originally published by Game Rant A recent interview from a Pragmata producer reveals that the game had an entire team on its development staff devoted to steering the design of Diana.

Living next to a ski resort is the dream, but a luxury not many can afford. I recently moved down the valley from Crested Butte to Gunnison. Now, instead of a quick bus ride from my house to the lifts, I join the masses of skiers who commute at highway speeds between home and the mountain. So this winter season, I put hundreds and hundreds of miles on testing the Thule SnowPack M ski rack for my ski resort commute. My drive is short, roughly 40 minutes, with most at highway speeds. Since I’m now commuting more, I also purchased a more fuel-efficient,…
When media behemoths in our corner are recognized, it’s a big deal. Radio host Mark Walters was named as a Talkers “Heavy Hundred” for the second year in a row!Second Amendment-centered media does not always get a fair shake. Oftentimes other members of the media and/or journalists might label Second Amendment media personalities as being nothing more than activists. That unfair label follows many in this arena around. Any time someone in this niche market is recognized for their achievements is a call for celebration. Mark Walters, the host of acclaimed Armed American Radio show, was recently honored by…
In a recent TAP class, a participant lit up describing what excited them most about separating from the military: the ability to finally be in charge of their own life. “Since the age of 18, I’ve been led or directed. Now I get to decide for myself where I want to go.” Choice over where to live, how to dress, how much time to spend with family, how to work: The possibilities were endless, and they were beaming. Then came the reality check. “I want to control my destiny … But where do I start? How do I figure out…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Why is there so much excitement about an agreement with Iran that literally resolves none of the key issues that the two sides were fighting about? The long-term status of the Strait of Hormuz is not resolved. The war between Israel and Hezbollah is not resolved. Nobody seems to have any idea where the 300 billion dollar “investment fund” for Iran is going to come from, and none of the nuclear issues that this war was supposedly about in the first place have been resolved…
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department customers may want to check their accounts and lock down their credit after a breach tied to the agency’s hunting and fishing license system.

TPWD said an unauthorized actor may have accessed customer profile information connected to hunting and fishing license purchases.…
Bill Maher is one of the few voices on the left I’m willing to take seriously. He’s willing to say things that will bother his audience because he thinks they need saying, so when I disagree with him, I can at least accept that it’s not him playing team sports. He actually believes that. And, over the years, he’s been a bit more sensible with regard to the Second Amendment than most of his non-right-leaning guests, though he’s been far from perfect.Over the weekend, the Real Time host had Ro Khanna on, which I’ll try…
