This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. The United States and Israel have spent years assuming they can strike Iranian targets with impunity, violating ceasefire agreements and assassinating officials without consequence. That assumption just exploded along with a U.S. airbase near Bandar Abbas. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck back at 4:50 a.m. Thursday, targeting the American base it identified as the “origin of the aggression.” The IRGC’s warning was stark: Aggression will not go unanswered, and any repeat attack will draw a “more decisive” response. Key points: Iran struck a U.S. airbase in retaliation…
Nearly all of the artists announced for President Donald Trump’s “Freedom 250” concert series have pulled out of the upcoming festivities, turning a National Mall celebration built around America’s 250th birthday into a fight over patriotism, politics and the use of veterans in promoting the event. Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, Young MC, The Commodores, Morris Day and The Time, and C+C Music Factory are among the performers who have withdrawn from or distanced themselves from Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair, a 16-day event scheduled for June 25 through July 10 in Washington, D.C. The event was announced…
For whatever reason, most of this week’s best new gear comes in twos. We’ve got two top-notch bikes built for speed, two jackets aimed at improving breathability without sacrificing performance, and two German brands with new gear aimed at trail running. But we have a few more interesting pieces that have no clear analog, including backpacking meals just for your dog (yes, really), some cool new shades from the reliable armless brand Ombraz, and a Costco cooler that won’t empty your wallet. Get the details on these cool new offerings in this week’s Emerging Gear. Specialized Gravel Bike (Photo/Specialized) There’s…
The state of Connecticut had to know this was coming. The moment they even considered banning Glocks and similar firearms because someone can take an already illegal device and illegally convert it into an illegal firearm, they had to know they were going to get sued. They had to. Yes, the bill is stupid, and not just because criminals will keep getting guns to convert, no matter what laws they pass. It’s stupid because it has nothing to do with the Glock or similar striker-fired guns. It’s all about devices that are banned at the…
OS ANGELES (AP) — A former Southern California mayor pleaded guilty Friday to acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government. Eileen Wang, who stepped down as the mayor of Arcadia earlier this month, was charged in April with one count of acting in the United States as an illegal agent of a foreign government. She pleaded guilty to doing the bidding of Chinese officials by sharing articles favorable to Beijing, without prior notification to the U.S. government as required by law. The 56-year-old was elected in November 2022 to a five-person city council, from which the mayor is…
As I burst across the finish line of my first race, I was feeling very grateful for my shoes. I’d trained in the On Cloudsoma and worn them almost every day since I took them out of the box. I’d grown attached to these shoes as if they were an extension of me. I consider myself an athlete, but an average runner. So I’m the perfect person to test Cloudsoma. I am the type of runner who, despite running all the time, has never made the leap to marathons or even halfs. This shoe aims to bridge the gap between…
The World Health Organization (WHO) Chief has said he swears that the Ebola outbreak “can be stopped.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, proclaiming that the spread of this disease can be stopped, so long as warring faction lay down their weapons and commit to a ceasefire. Ghebreyesus added that no conflict is worth condemning people to death over a preventable disease, accoridng to a report by The Guardian. That means humanitarian efforts should be a first step toward containment. He solidified his stance when writing on X on Wednesday, saying, “Stopping this Ebola transmission…
As part of the Democrats’ failed efforts to pass a gun and magazine ban in Minnesota this year, a number of communities in the state adopted local ordinances of their own prohibiting commonly-owned arms like AR-15s. Though the ordinances were written so that they would only take effect if Minnesota’s firearm preemption law is ever repealed, the MN Gun Owners Caucus has launched several lawsuits against the measures, arguing that the preemption statute applies to these types of anticipatory ordinances too. On Thursday, a Ramsey County judge sided with the Caucus and denied a request…
As recently announced by Bungie, Destiny 2 is unfortunately meeting its untimely end on June 9, with a final update that marks a new era for the game with no new content, live-service patches, expansions, or anything of the sort. The final update for Destiny 2 on June 9 seems to be pretty substantial for a non-expansion patch, and Bungie will share more information before launch. For now, players can take a look at the first Dev Insight post, which includes the return of the Director, a revamp of all Destination rewards with unique events for each of them, Sparrow…

Disabled U.S. Army veteran Nathan Kalwicki never thought he’d be a mortgage-free new construction homeowner. An amputee from western New York, who was injured in Afghanistan in 2011, is set to move into a new accessibility-built home at the end of May thanks to the national nonprofit organization A Soldier’s Journey Home. “This is basically a dream come true, I don’t really have words to describe it,” Kalwicki said, in a testimonial for the organization, posted online and reviewed by Military.com. “I’m really looking forward to establishing roots in the community with my wife.” Kalwicki’s new construction, mortgage-free home in…

When people enlist in the military, they swear an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Part of the Constitution is the Second Amendment, which means the men and women who go into harm’s way for this nation do so, in part, to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. So when I found out that the Department of Veterans Affairs was stripping fellow veterans of their gun rights because they needed financial help, I about lost my damn mind. Nothing about that…
It’s amazing how much wisdom has been lost to the ages. There are so many simple life hacks that used to be common knowledge. In this video, Household Hacker tries out some life hack inserts that were printed over 100 years ago in 1916. These inserts are cards that were sold with packs of cigarettes. There are hundreds of them out there, but this video focuses on seven. The first card is about… Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1.

President Donald Trump has done more for the Second Amendment than any other president in my lifetime, if not in all of American history. If it sounds like adoration or praise, though, we need to understand that the bar was so damn low that you could pole vault it with a toothpick. He’s done some legitimately good things, and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has been an absolute champion, taking on terrible laws at the state and local level. Dhillon, via her job as head of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, has gone…

The Ford F-150 Lobo is one of the coolest-looking trucks we’ve seen in years. Especially in black. With the sleek horizontal lightbar and the dual exhaust, the design team gives the rig a handsome look. But under the hood, it’s largely the same truck as a standard Ford F-150, with little that makes it a “street truck” beyond the fact that Ford dropped the suspension by a couple of inches. Now, the upcoming Ram 1500 Rumble Bee? There’s a street truck. Especially the 700+ horsepower SRT model, with a supercharged Hemi to challenge anything and everything on the road. There’s…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources. The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site…
Wes Cooper had just finished a 10-mile training run on the trails outside of Seattle when he got the call. Two hikers needed rescue. They’d attempted an ambitious 3-mile hike with 3,000 feet of elevation gain and bit off more than they could chew. Darkness had set in before they made it down. Without headlamps and afraid of getting lost, they called Seattle Mountain Rescue (SMR) for help. Cooper hadn’t expected the mission. He was already pretty cooked after his run. So, he grabbed one of SMR’s Hypershell Exoskeletons and jumped in the car. He put them on at the…
