A lot of people see the rules the ATF proposes from time to time, recognize there’s a comment period, and then ignore it. Why bother? After all, the ATF is going to do what it’s going to do. The comment period is required by law, but there doesn’t seem to be any imperative to actually listen to those comments. If there were, there are a lot of anti-gun rules that would never have gone into effect if they had been.Right now, the ATF is considering a pile of new rules, and the comment period is…
If you receive Department of Veterans Affairs disability payments, then for 2026, you received a 2.8% raise in your benefits. These are the dates you get those monthly checks. Disability benefit payments for a particular month are paid on the first business day of the following month. When the first day of that month falls on a non-business day or a holiday, VA benefits will be paid on the last business day of the preceding month. Here is the VA disability payment schedule for 2026 to help you plan your finances. 2026 VA Disability Payment Schedule Month Payment Date Day…
Riding a dirt bike is one of those activities that is often both very social and yet very isolating. They’re social in that you often go out riding with your buddies, and that camaraderie is one of the draws. On the other hand, you’re inevitably stuck in your helmet, which makes communication kind of tough. Until now, that is, because Cardo is introducing its Venture helmet, and spoiler alert: it’s awesome. The Helmet If you’re thinking, “Wait, Cardo? Isn’t that the company that makes those communicators that clip on the side of your street helmet?” then you’re already getting to…
She says it was self-defense. Police say it was cold-blooded murder. 35-year-old Ashley Ruhland has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 49-year-old Justin Emmick. The Sioux City, Iowa resident was killed on July 29 in a remote spot on his 30-acre property, accessible only by foot and ATVs. According to authorities, Ruhland had been staying with Emmick, but also had an active order of protection against him. That’s odd enough, but if you’re really in fear of your life then why would you put yourself in a position where you’re going to…
We know you can’t turn back the clock, but we wouldn’t mind returning to a time when full-size pickups were simple, stripped-down, work-duty affairs, and they cost less than a large sedan, and we called them “half-ton” trucks.With the average price of a basic, no-frills full-size pickup creeping toward $40,000,we don’t even need to debate whether the cost of entry has gotten too high. New trucks are simply too expensive, and we’re holding onto our old pickups for longer these days, even if that means spending more money to keep them running. The Average American Truck Is Now 12 Years…
On July 19, a shooting took place in Asheville, N.C. Two people were killed, and seven others were injured. Right now, police still haven’t caught the suspect, which is less than good, to say the least. It’s safe to say that while the media calls this a “mass shooting,” it bears no resemblance to what happened in Idaho over the weekend. This was likely a targeted attack over a personal beef. In other words, it was likely gang-related.But, like so many other mayors of decent-sized cities across the country, rather than admit that she’s sucked…

Back in my day, everyone was working for the weekend. It was the time when you’d get done with work or school, then go blow off some steam. That did not include opening fire at an In-and-Out. Like many would-be mass killers, this chucklehead, who has been identified, thought he’d find a place with a fair number of people and start killing. And, well, anti-gunners will tell you that if you put a gun-free zone sign on the door, someone with murderous intent will stay outside. Unfortunately, all that does is keep good guys with guns…
The FBI has reportedly subpoenaed a freelance reporter over his report on a secret U.S. mission in North Korea. FBI agents delivered the subpoena, issued by prosecutors in Virginia, to Matthew Cole’s home in New York in February, and demanded he hand over two years of contacts and sources, the New York Times reported, citing anonymous sources. Coles had been working as a freelance reporter for the publication. In 2025, Cole and staff reporter Dave Philipps reported on a Navy SEAL Team 6 mission in 2019 that led to the death of two or three unarmed North Koreans. Cole and…
For veterans Rachel Hughes and Michael Deardorff, relief from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the physical toll of serving in the military was somewhat unexpectedly relieved by a four-legged friend. Hughes, an Army veteran, and Deardorff, who served in the Marine Corps, both received service dogs through Dogs, Inc., a company providing highly trained companion dogs to veterans. Hughes, who retired as a master sergeant after 22 years in the Army, was matched with Byner in 2023. The dog not only helps Hughes manage her PTSD, but he also gives her motivation to get out of bed each morning and…

The US Virgin Islands is one of the most anti-gun territories in the United States. They seem to have no respect for gun rights, with might not be relevant if they weren’t a US territory and thus subject to the Constitution. I’m not sure the lawmakers there really seem to understand that, though, with their history of gun-grabbing, but it doesn’t make it any less true. And they’re at it again, this time with a bill containing numerous provisions, including a “vampire rule.”That’s led the Second Amendment Foundation to tell them they really should back…
Ohio gun owners who feel the need to temporarily remove firearms from their home will soon be able to turn to gun stores or their local police departments for help. Lawmakers in both the House and Senate have unanimously agreed to allow “any owner of a lawfully possessed firearm or a person authorized by the owner of a lawfully possessed firearm” to store a firearm with a federally licensed firearms dealer or with a law enforcement agency “upon application and agreement.” These voluntary off-site storage measures are, thankfully, becoming increasingly popular in red states as…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he had called off new military strikes on Iran, suggesting progress had been made in talks to end the war just hours after the American leader threatened to escalate the conflict by seizing control of Iran’s oil industry. Trump said in a social media post that he made the move after a breakthrough in negotiations, and that significant points under discussion “have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved.” The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the U.S. and Iran had…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Fiat Mirage and the Physical Foundation of Wealth The U.S. dollar, once the world’s reserve currency, is rotting from within because the West has lost its productive edge. As I explained in my 2024 interview with Chris Olson, bank profits dropped 44% in late 2023, and the system is straining under the weight of unpayable debt. [1] The simple truth is that paper money is a promise printed on nothing, and promises break when the issuer runs out of strength. Fiat money is just a claim slip on future energy,…

With my thumb on the throttle, my e-cruiser — the Tenways Wayfarer — and I sped down the double-wide dirt road. I was mesmerized by the reflection of Mt. Crested Butte’s towering pyramid-shaped rock face on the surface of Peanut Lake. Suddenly, I realized how smooth the ride was despite the sea of potholes. It nearly felt like I was cruising across pavement. Such a cushiony, floaty ride is thanks to the extra-wide saddle, suspension seat post, high-volume tires, 27.5-inch wheels, and upright geometry of the Wayfarer. The front fork with adjustable air suspension and the motor’s ultra-smooth acceleration are…
DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon has been the shining Second Amendment bright spot of the Trump administration’s almost schizophrenic approach to gun rights. She’s done more than stood firm; she’s gone out and aggressively addressed state and local governments’ attempts to restrict people’s gun rights. She set up the Second Amendment Section of her division to focus on these issues, even. But the problem is that for every lawsuit they file, there are 12 or more laws out there that we know also need to be addressed.What’s more, in a recent interview, Dhillon…
Xbox is in for another round of major layoffs in July, as CEO Asha Sharma stated that an overhaul of Microsoft’s gaming division will begin in the days ahead. As of this writing, it is currently unclear how many jobs at Xbox and its various gaming subsidiaries will be affected by the impending cuts. Sharma’s announcement came just two days after Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball shared a look at the state of Xbox Game Pass. Following a controversial price hike in October 2025, Ball said that Xbox Game Pass lost millions of subscribers across the globe. In April,…
