A disabled Navy veteran is suing her homeowners’ association (HOA) over alleged improper fees and unreasonable debt collection. HOAs comprise a group of residents elected to a board which creates community rules, maintains common areas and collects funds to do so. The federal government does not track how many military veterans live in HOAs, though U.S. Census data shows those living in HOAs in general are on the rise. The proportion of single-family homes built within HOAs has increased from 49% in 2009 to 65% in 2023, according to this data. Citing court documents, local news outlet KSAT reported that…
The Justice Department’s lawsuit challenging multiple gun control laws in the U.S. Virgin Islands is already on strong legal ground given the blatant abuses of the Second Amendment in the U.S. territory. The USVI Attorney General’s office is also doing a bang-up job of sabotaging its own efforts to defend the law, and a federal judge has now rejected efforts by the office to strike down the federal government’s request for a preliminary injunction. In his order, U.S. District Judge Evan Rikhye chided the Attorney General’s office for even making the motion, noting that it…
U.S. Senate candidate Darline Graham is facing scrutiny for saying during a debate Tuesday that “national security is not my thing,” in the midst of a months-long war with Iran. Graham, a Republican, was temporarily appointed to the South Carolina U.S. Senate seat on July 13 following the death of her brother, Lindsey Graham. First elected in 2003, Lindsey Graham was a Washington mainstay widely viewed as a war hawk who publicly vouched for military support for Ukraine against Russia, and for more aggressive tactics in the Middle East against Iran as part of the ongoing military operation that began…

New research by the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has collected the DNA of more than 3.3 million people, with the program’s “primary purpose” not revolving around immigration enforcement but to “build a national DNA database for solving crimes.” The data collection encompassing both the Biden and Trump administrations is claimed to be a continuation of federal government efforts to build a massive genetic database for policing the general population, with Georgetown researchers citing a March 2025 email scribed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attorney…

With debanking still an issue among the financial industry, it makes sense for the firearm industry to embrace companies that are explicitly pro-Second Amendment to handle their financial business. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of banks that are explicitly pro-gun, but there are options for other financial services.And one of them isn’t just marketing to gun companies and refusing to cut ties with them over what business they’re in, but they’re going to fund pro-gun efforts.From a press release:The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce that ShotPay – a 2A-friendly, full-stack payments ecosystem…
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides reimbursement for licensing and certification preparatory courses and tests that have been specifically approved for VA education benefits, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

The following is a summary of GI Bill licensing and certification reimbursement. Overview of Licensing and Certification Reimbursement In today’s business and federal workforce, having a license or certification can open doors. Many professions, such as jobs that are subject to state or other…

This guide covers everything you need to know: choosing landlord insurance, navigating VA rules, screening tenants, and preparing your property…
Both Silver and Gold Make Breakouts President Trump spoke at a Department of State roundtable announcing major new U.S. mining investments, framing them as restoring America as a “minerals superpower” and achieving economic independence after decades of decline. That should be all you need to know in order to understand what’s already started in the gold sector, after this massive consolidation we have been seeing since January 28th! Look at the leveraged gold miners index in the past few weeks! I love this index, because I can be very aggressive, when I believe in the thesis and I have. What…
One way you can tell that gun control will never work is simply by looking at the War on Drugs. After all, drugs are the only product more regulated than guns, with the hard stuff being prescription-only and with strict limits on how much you can get at a time. And yet, despite all of that, people get drugs easily enough despite the laws. And I’m not talking about a tiny little bit or something they cooked up in a knock-off Winnebago on the outskirts of Albuquerque.No, they can get a lot of it.And guns.A…

He Wants That Gold… You should have seen it… Or maybe you have… Trump conducted the mining roundtable and one of the participants gifted the president with gold. Trump nearly drooled over it! Hosted by the State Department, the United States of America is going back to mining its own minerals and securing its sovereignty and its supply chains and cutting its reliance on China to the bare minimum.

The Profit Machine: The S&P’s True Margin King Listen up, because the mainstream financial media is feeding you garbage while the smart money is orchestrating the trade of the century. We are standing at the epicenter of a historic valuation dislocation. While the herd is chasing tech stocks at nosebleed valuations, gold mining equities are trading at their cheapest levels in over 50 years! Let that sink in. Gold has broken out into uncharted territory, yet the producers of the metal are priced as if we are in a multi-decade depression. This is the definition of a generational mispricing—and the…
Most avid shooters know who Jerry Miculek is. They also know who his daughter Lena is. She’s a fantastic shooter who, frankly, can kick the crap out of most of us on the range, and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it. I’m pretty sure the Miculeks are really terminators or something, anyway. But Lena, like most people, doesn’t always want to wear tacticool clothing. That means, for her, dresses. It also means that for a lot of other women.So, she decided to share some advice with the other ladies out there —…
