“Universal Basic Capital” is a much-needed solution to the continued advancement of artificial intelligence technology’s consistent advancement. Universal basic income (UBI) was a popular topic years ago, especially as AI gained a foothold in the economy, beginning to replace human workers; however, the newer UBC concept is now gaining traction. According to a report by The Atlantic, the idea has been endorsed by figures as ideologically diverse as Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom, Steve Bannon, Sam Altman, and even Donald Trump. In both cases, UBI and UBC are policies that would give every single human a baseline salary, whether they contribute…
In a 2-1 decision, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the “assault weapon” and “large capacity” magazine ban imposed by the state of Illinois, with Trump appointee Amy St. Eve authoring the majority opinion. St. Eve and Judge Frank Easterbrook concluded that the state’s ban on “AR-15s and thirty-round rifle magazines” are “consistent with the principles that underpin our Nation’s tradition of firearm regulation,” which is an odd framing given that the ban is actually far more encompassing than that. The Seventh Circuit previously upheld a similar ban in a case called Bevis, and…

A federal judge has ruled that a Long Island couple’s Second Amendment rights were violated after the Nassau County Police Department’s Pistol License Section revoked their permits and ordered them to turn over their firearms after their daughter had expressed thoughts of depression and harming herself with a rope. Even after multiple physicians determined the child wasn’t in danger of harming herself, the police refused to reinstate Dennis and Lisa Wysocki’s licenses, and more than three years after their guns were surrendered the Wysocki’s have yet to get them back. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge…
Taylor Swift’s wedding is supposed to be one of the biggest celebrity events of the year. Thousands of guests. A-list celebrities. Madison Square Garden. Tight security. But according to our friend Colion Noir, the real story isn’t who’s getting married. It’s the security surrounding the event and what it says about gun control. In a recent video, Noir pointed to reports that more than 100 law enforcement officers, detectives and specialized security personnel were assigned to protect Swift and her guests. He argues the spectacle highlights what he sees as one of the biggest contradictions in the gun control debate.…
It’s amazing how many journalists still claim there’s no inherent bias in the media, while every publication of any community above a few thousand seems to have an anti-gun editorial board. I’m not talking about the odd op-ed, because those are the opinions of individuals that may or may not reflect the publication’s management’s views. The editorial board is a clearer representation of those views, though.The Las Vegas Sun’s board, for example, just published an editorial where they try to claim that President Trump’s focus on law and order rings hollow for them because he’s…

When it comes to RVs and travel trailers, there is arguably no name more recognizable and beloved than Airstream. While many of us dream of hooking up a brand-new double-axle Airstream to our vehicle and hitting the road, not everyone has the six-figure budget to buy one or the full-size truck to actually pull it. That’s why Airstream is introducing a new 17-foot version of its World Traveler single-axle travel trailer, the 17RB, which it announced on Thursday. The World Traveler model sits between Airstream’s Bambi and Caravel models and offers a classic Airstream experience in a more accessible, easy-to-tow,…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWe move through dozens of different environments every single day. Home → car → gas station → work → school → store → restaurant → home again. Each time we step into a new place or mix with new people, our risk profile quietly shifts. Most folks never notice. I do. You should notice too. All it takes is thirty seconds to update my head—my mindset and situational awareness—and I’m set to go. That habit keeps me calm and keeps me prepared. I always have a plan to get through the few seconds to…
If you live in a small space, storing preparedness essentials can be tough. One of the biggest challenges is storing water, which is also one of the most important items you need on hand. You need to have extra water for everyone in the family in case of power outages, boil water notices, broken water mains, hurricanes, or winter storms that freeze the pipes. The good news is, you can store a good amount of water in a condo with a bit of creativity. I’ve lived in various small spaces over the years and have been able to store water…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThe Fourth of July is the most American thing we do. This year, with the 250th anniversary of 1776, so, even more so. Cookouts. Fireworks. Flag clothes. It’s a good day that is a uniquely American day. It’s an American day when millions of keyed-up people, dressed in red, white and blue, spend the day drinking, gathered together in sweltering heat, cooking over open flames and playing with explosives. And then drive home. I’m not telling you that to scare you off your hot dogs. I’m telling you because that is the 4th of…
I feel bad for anyone depending on The Nation’s Elie Mystal to inform them about legal decisions. I realize that he’s got his own opinion on things, but you can’t be much of a legal analyst if you’re as willing to ignore cold, hard facts. That’s exactly what Mystal has done in his steaming hot take on the Wolford decision, which manages to misinform readers about the Court’s Bruen test and why Hawaii’s historical analogies failed to pass muster while also ignoring the state’s attempt to use a racist gun law to justify its modern restriction on…
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO’s top commander told The Associated Press on Friday that European allies have filled most of the holes created by a U.S. decision to cut back military contributions in times of crisis. U.S. Gen. Alex Grynkewich urged Europeans to make more equipment available after the U.S. signaled on June 3 that it would no longer supply an aircraft carrier and support ships, aerial refueling planes and dozens of fighter jets, among other assets, to the continent. He also began weighing back up plans in case of an attack against Europe. The so-called NATO Force Model is the…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. Iran’s use of cluster munition warheads successfully penetrated Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems, striking targets in West Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and Haifa. Israel’s War Ministry announced Iron Dome upgrades in June 2026 following “operational lessons learned” during the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Iranian hypersonic missiles with decoy capabilities overwhelmed Israeli defenses using swarm and saturation tactics. Israel faces critical shortages of ballistic missile interceptors, with U.S. officials anticipating depletion as Iran exploits vulnerabilities. The Iron Beam laser system, delivered in December 2025, remains not yet operational, with at least…
The American Revolution is often remembered as a clean story of liberty, courage and founding ideals. Former U.S. Navy officer Ray Deptula sees something rougher, more violent and more useful for Americans today. Deptula, author of Can’t Find My Way Home, the second book in his two-book Those Damned Yankees series, said the Revolution was not simply a patriotic uprising told through famous names and polished speeches. It was also a brutal war fought in towns, farms and backcountry communities where political division could turn deadly. “The history does not ever focus on how horrible it was, how messy it…
One of the new proposals regarding gun buying and selling is that it’ll be possible for me to buy a gun from my wife’s uncle, who has a gun store that’s a bit of a drive away, without having to make that drive. We’re both in the same state, after all, and so no shipping of a gun across state lines will take place, but it can come to me just the same. It’s pretty rad, if you ask me, and while I’d also like to buy guns from friends in other states and have…
