At the top of California’s Colorado mountains, just outside San Diego, you don’t hear much except for, perhaps, a rattlesnake slithering its way through the dry bushes. Otherwise, it’s as calm as a library up there, with the hot wind smoothing its way on your UV-exposed skin as you stare into the distance under the brightest of blue skies. Parked next to me was a nearly 10,000-pound behemoth of a pickup truck running on idle. Or should I say turned on. That’s because the Chevrolet Silverado EV burns no gas at all. It’s electric. It’s quiet, the way spending time…
Most Marines had never seen combat when Peter Ortiz joined the Corps in June 1942. However, he had already survived five years in the French Foreign Legion and fought in Africa, faced the Nazis in France, spent 15 months as a prisoner of war, and escaped occupied Europe to get back into the fight.Before the war ended, the New York-born Legionnaire would become the most decorated member of the Office of Strategic Services and one of the most decorated Marines of World War II.From New York City to the French Foreign LegionBorn July 5, 1913, Ortiz was raised in affluence…
A misunderstanding caused by a language barrier in Fort Lee, N.J., in April led to a lawful citizen’s firearms being confiscated. And two gun-rights organizations are now suing the city police department over the continuing injustice. According to the New Jersey Firearm Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), after visiting a walk-in medical facility this spring due to pregnancy-related illness, Elsid Aliaj’s wife was wrongfully temporarily committed to a psychiatric facility. During the visit, she made a remark in English, her second language, that caused the provider to incorrectly believe that she might want to harm herself. She was immediately put on a…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: It Has Been 63 Years Since The Cuban Missile Crisis, And Now A New Missile Crisis Threatens To Plunge The Globe Into A State Of Turmoil In 1962, the U.S. was absolutely determined to keep Russian missiles out of Cuba, because any Russian missiles launched from Cuba could potentially deliver nuclear warheads to major U.S. cities on the East Coast in just minutes. After all these years, now we are facing another missile crisis. The Russians are considering sending Kalibr cruise missiles…
Contrary to some concerning information, I still believe that one of the best ways to protect the Second Amendment is to get more law-abiding people owning guns. While not every gun owner becomes a gun voter, many of them do. This is regardless of any other factor. But one key is to get them buying guns, which is easier said than done.Luckily, plenty of people are buying them, with more than a million doing so last month alone.According to national background check data, Americans picked up over a million firearms last month, again. October saw no…
Back in 2007, when most of his high school friends were thinking about college, Tony Wilson had other plans in mind. He was pondering life in the U.S. Marine Corps. Wilson, of Fort Worth, Texas, was yearning for a challenge. He also wanted a chance to serve his country. So, when the opportunity came to talk to a recruiter and select a service branch to join, Wilson didn’t hesitate. He picked the most rigorous outfit. “They were the best, the baddest, and my chance of getting to go overseas and serve my country the way I wanted,” Wilson, 35, told Fort Worth…

Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the most powerful vice president in modern U.S. history, died Monday at 84 from complications of pneumonia, along with cardiac and vascular disease, according to his family. A dominant force in American politics during the post-9/11 era, Cheney helped steer two wars, expanded executive power, and left behind a legacy as polarizing as it was influential.His health battles were nearly as well-known as his political career: five heart attacks, a defibrillator, and a 2012 heart transplant that gave him a second act — one that ended with a dramatic break from the GOP in 2024,…

An Akron, Ohio man has been sentenced to ten years in prison after being convicted of possessing an illegally modified Glock pistol equipped with a “switch,” a small device that converts a handgun from semi-automatic to fully automatic fire. Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich announced that 33-year-old Maurice Arnold received the sentence following his conviction on weapons and drug charges. Investigators said one of the Glock pistols found in his home was fitted with an illegal switch, a device about the size of a quarter that allows a pistol to fire continuously with a single pull of the trigger. The…
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned the European Union that it will ignite a war if it accepts Ukraine into the bloc. Because of this, Orban says Budapest has a good reason to oppose Kiev’s membership. Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed in an interview with Euronews’ Enlargement Summit reported on by RT on Tuesday that “Orban has to offer something for Ukraine, which is protecting the whole Europe from Russia, and even now, during this war, we did not get any support from him.” Orban has long been against furthering the war and helping Ukraine continue it as Russia…
There are many ways for visitors to see and experience Italy: via train, car, or cruise ship. The best way, however, is by foot, and fortunately, there is an established trail that allows you to do just that. The Cammino di San Francesco (CDF), or Way of St. Francis, takes hikers from Florence to Rome on a culturally rich and naturally beautiful route that will help them see Italy in a whole new light. I did the Cammino di San Francesco in 2018, and made mistakes and got blisters, so you don’t have to. Learn all about this unique hike,…

About 77% of poll respondents favor concealed carry permits, including large majorities of Republicans and Independents and a modest majority of Democrats.But those same respondents strongly oppose efforts to do away with the permits entirely, commonly referred to as “constitutional…

One thing about anti-Second Amendment types is that they never stop pushing. They say they don’t want to take our guns away–well, most of them say that, even if they don’t mean it–but they also never tell us exactly where the line is, other than not wanting a total gun ban. The moment they get what they’re currently asking for, which is always termed as some kind of “common sense” gun control that is just a simple ask from them, they start wanting more and more. Yet my buddy Dan Wos has looked at the…
Gun-control activist David Hogg found himself in the headlines again this week after taking a swipe at a CNN commentator during a live discussion on the New York City mayoral race. Appearing on CNN Newsroom, Hogg, president of the political group Leaders We Deserve, clashed with Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings over the rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old Democratic socialist who has just been elected New York City’s next mayor. “People Are Tired of Being Lectured by Men with Rolexes” During the exchange, Hogg praised Mamdani’s grassroots strategy and threw a jab at Jennings in the process. “There’s a…
The government shutdown is now the longest in United States history, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 on Tuesday evening. It has now officially been “shut down” for the 35th day. According to a report by CBS News, the Senate failed for the 14th time to advance a House-passed continuing resolution to end the stalemate on Tuesday. The vote was 54-44, with no new Democrats crossing the aisle to advance it and end the funding lapse. Despite the outcome, lawmakers from both parties have hinted at the emerging contours of a deal to end the stalemate, possibly as early as this week. Senate Majority…
DECKED Ambassador Jackson Marvell has every reason to brag: He was a part of the three-man crew to make a first ascent of the hardest route on a monster Nepalese mountain, sans air tanks, fixed ropes, or food caches. (We think he “accidentally” left them in his DECKED truck bed storage system. Oops.) Although he nearly lost three fingers to frostbite in the process, Jackson and friends summited the north face of Jannu (25,295 feet) alpine-style in 7 days. His adopted mantra and philosophy, “No Weak Shit,” came from his mentor Scott Adamson. To Jackson, this means you go out…
In less than two weeks, would-be handgun owners in Delaware will be forced to apply for a “permit to purchase” before they can buy a pistol. In order to have their permits approved, applicants will have to demonstrate proof that they’ve completed a firearms safety course taught by a state-approved firearms instructor that includes a live-fire test involving no less than 100 rounds of ammunition, submit their fingerprints to the state police, and be prepared to wait up to 30 days for the state police to conduct a background check.

Progressive Democratic socialist nominee Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the first Muslim mayor of New York City. Former Democratic mayor Democrat Andrew Cuomo has conceded after more than two million people cast their votes. Cuomo vowed to hold the incoming administration accountable, but we haven’t ever seen anyone be able to hold those in the ruling class accountable. “Almost half of New Yorkers did not vote to support a government agenda that makes promises that we know cannot be met. This campaign, as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, was necessary to make that point – a caution flag…
