Kindred Motorworks of Vallejo, Calif., is reimagining the cult classic Volkswagen Bus (aka Type 2 Transporter or “T2”) of the 1960s and ’70s. It fully transforms them into the desirable 23-window version and adds electric power, giving owners miles of smiles with more usable power and torque as well as modern amenities. There’s a catch, however: a hefty $249,000 price tag — that’s more than the cost of a house in some parts of the country. Are they worth it? “We modernize and work with vehicles people just adore,” Greg Clark, Kindred Motorworks’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), said. “They’re iconic.…
Air Mobility Command’s space-available travel sign-up process has run on the same basic model for years: Fill out a form, email it to whichever passenger terminal you’re departing from, and hope someone on the other end enters it correctly before your window opens. As of March 26, 2026, that changed. AMC launched a new self-signup tool incorporating every AMC location worldwide, and it’s built on fundamentally different plumbing than what came before it. What Actually Changed The old system, still technically available, routes a traveler’s information through an email that gets sent to a specific passenger terminal, where staff then…
For years now, anti-gunners have been trying their best to push gun ownership into the fringes of society. More accurately, they tried to turn it into the dirty little secret that you might be free to take part in, but you shouldn’t talk to people about it. It’s kind of like being into freaky bedroom activities or liking the Twilight movies. You might do it, but no one can know, even if it’s legal. And, frankly, we’ve played into their hands on that. People are paranoid about even talking about owning guns out of fear…
The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced two framework agreements to expand the production capacity of missile-interceptor components. The agreements, with defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, intend to triple the production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) components, and quadruple the production of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) components. The frameworks come as part of the Arsenal of Freedom initiative, a defense initiative to modernize military technology. “Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level of the industrial base,” said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, in a…
The 2000s was a critical time for the gaming industry. The monstrously successful PlayStation 2 arrived in 2000, with Microsoft’s first Xbox system and Nintendo’s iconic GameCube launching in North America the following year. This set the stage for a console generation marked by a fascinating three-way competition, and of course, some brilliant games. In particular, RPG fans had an embarrassment of riches to enjoy during the 2000s. Then as now, though, it’s just impossible to play all the games we’d like to. Even if you’ve been an RPG enthusiast for decades, there are some great games from this era…
I’ve written a lot about the Department of Justice’s schizophrenia on NFA registration of things like suppressors and short-barreled long guns. The registration was, originally, nothing more than a list of who paid the NFA tax. It was there so law enforcement could check and see if the suppressor they found was lawfully owned or not. Now that there’s no tax stamp on such devices, the registry has outlived its purpose.Easy enough, right?The problem is, though, that the DOJ that is going after everyone else over unconstitutional gun control laws is defending this travesty. Mark…
New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire has a new book to sell, and he is going all out in pitching it to lefties. McIntire recently compared U.S. “gun culture” (as if there’s a monoculture of gun owners among the 100 million Americans who possess firearms) to the “late-stage Roman Empire” in its decadence because of the rise of high-end shooting ranges and gun clubs. Now McIntire’s out with a new column in the friendly pages of the New York Times magazine claiming that the “right to kill” is expanding; a column adapted from his new book “Ricochet: Guns,…
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 players on PlayStation consoles should be wary of a notorious hacker who is reportedly compromising accounts. Credit: Image via Activision, Treyarch Originally published by Game Rant The Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer servers on PS5 and PS4 have been compromised by a hacker that has gone around several lobbies and manipulated player accounts. The reports came weeks after Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and its predecessor were shadow-dropped on the PlayStation Store across the globe. Although it was released on the PS3 in 2013, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was unavailable…
Yosemite National Park is famous for iconic sights like Half Dome and El Capitan, but in recent years, it’s become almost equally famous for massive crowds. Images of swarms of people and long lines of cars have blown up on the internet, and the data backs it up. In 2026, the park is on track to receive more visitors than ever before. At the end of July, I became part of the problem, visiting the park during its peak summer tourist season. With a few key strategies, however, I managed to avoid most of the hordes of people and enjoy…

I’m terribly selective about backpacks, and while the Osprey Tempest Velocity 30 isn’t perfect, it’s pretty darn close. Backpacks are among the most subjective pieces of gear out there, especially for women. What works beautifully for one body can feel completely off on another, and in my 8 years of mountaineering, backpacking, and hiking, I’ve only truly loved two packs out of dozens. Yep, two. To be fair to backpack designers, I’m 5’2” with a shorter torso, so most packs were never really built with my frame in mind. I’ve dealt with neck strain, bruised hips, and sore shoulders so…
Last fall, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier did what state lawmakers had been unable (and in some cases, unwilling) to do for years by declining to appeal a judge’s ruling that the state’s ban on open carry violated the rights of Florida residents. Now Uthmeier has once again turned a court case into a win for gun owners; this time involving a challenge to Florida’s ban on concealed carry for adults under the age of 21. In another win for the unalienable rights of Floridians, the 4th DCA agreed with our position that Florida’s law banning…
The names of the eight U.S. Air Force members killed Monday in a B-52 Stratofortress crash were made public on Wednesday afternoon. The B-52 Stratofortress crashed at approximately 11:20 a.m. PDT on June 15 shortly after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base, a major flight-test center in California’s Mojave Desert, according to Air Force officials who at the time of the incident stated that initial indications were “that the crash was not survivable.” The names were released this afternoon after the Air Force, in accordance with Department of Defense policy, waited 24 hours and after all next of kin…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. When we were told that the ceasefire extension with Iran would include “the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz”, I didn’t realize that this was only for a period of 60 days. As you will see below, once the 60 days are over, the Iranians will be allowed to charge vessels for passing through the Strait of Hormuz on a permanent basis. Any vessels that attempt to pass through the Strait without permission will be subject to attack by the Iranian military. In other words, the nightmare…

It centered around a group of daredevils willing to do almost anything for a laugh or a gasp. The show was so popular that it launched a series of movies, as well as the careers of a few interesting characters, including Chris Pontius, aka “Party Boy.” Pontius would go on to star in another MTV show, Wildboyz, with Jackass alum Steve-O. The show was similar to Jackass in that Pontius and Steve-O would…
When the right started forming militias back in the 1990s, following events like Ruby Ridge and Waco, the left got very upset about it. They demonized these militias and did everything they could to rip them apart, framing them not just as a threat to the nation, but every kind of bigot they could think of. It was enough to push many to reconsider joining such a group, even if none of them actually did anything except do some training in the woods somewhere. And it’s definitely a part of why anti-gunners wanted to ban…
Ford has been feeling the pinch of automotive recalls getting tight enough that we might start calling it a clamp. Or worse. Now, 18,000 Ford Escape owners could feel a pinch of their own. The problem could result in you getting pinched by your power windows, which could cause serious injury. Power Windows Might Pinch Harder Than They’re Meant To Credit:Â Ford Ford Escapes from the 2017 model year are being recalled to fix windows that could be a tad too aggressive when going up. A software update should make sure that a closing window won’t exceed safety regulations for pinch…
