I have concerns with artificial intelligence. I haven’t hidden them, either. I use it, mind you, because there are very real advantages to it. The problems I have with it aren’t so much about where it is now, but where it may go. Still, it’s a useful technology for a lot of things, and tends to be a better search engine than Google these days.In Australia, though, one pundit thinks that we should be careful with the rollout of AI, and to support his claim, he makes an anti-gun argument.American gun rights advocates are fond…
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has presented his campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a defense of American sovereignty and U.S. service members. President Donald Trump supplied a more immediate explanation during a July 31 Cabinet meeting: “He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people, but there are many people that shouldn’t be looked at that way, but there is no indication that I’m one of them at this moment.” Rubio returned to hypothetical arrests of American service members decades from now, seemingly an awkward pivot consider that Trump had just identified Netanyahu and others as…
Starting today, any Colorado resident who wants to purchase the most popular rifle in the country will have to fork over more money and wait for who knows how long before they get their local sheriff’s approval. In fact, some residents who’ve already started the process of buying an AR-15 will likely have to go through these extra steps and fork out extra money. Tomorrow SB25-003 – Colorado’s ban on semi automatic magazine fed gas powered firearms becomes official.Currently the Colorado Bureau of Investigations has over 2500 background checks in the queue to approve.So if these…
We know good and well that the Second Amendment says “shall not be infringed.” We all know what that means. Still, anti-gunners keep arguing that gun control is constitutional. They might bring up the militia clause, but they can’t illustrate how that overrides the last four words. They don’t even try, really. They simply proclaim it and we’re expected to accept it. Obviously, we don’t and won’t.But why do they seem to feel like they don’t have to? Why is it that they believe they can ignore the text of the Second Amendment?Howard Sachs, writing…
CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later on Saturday, Kuwait said it responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran while a tanker was struck in the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Israel heavily struck the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to disarm. Here are the most important developments in the Middle East today: US threatens new strikes in the conflict with Iran Speaking to reporters Friday during a meeting with members of his Cabinet at…

A veteran who fills his prescriptions through the VA may have seen the headlines this week about Medicare drug premiums going up in 2027 and possibly felt worried. For most veterans, there’s no need to get anxious, but for some, there might be. Basically, it all comes down to where you get your medication. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Tuesday that it will end a federal subsidy that has helped hold down prescription drug premiums for the past two years. Some believe this move could raise monthly costs for some Medicare beneficiaries starting in 2027, and a…

The best parts of summer happen outdoors, whether it’s a lunch-break loop through the city, a post-work stroll, or a weekend adventure on the trail. And when the adventure wraps, a fresh, satisfying meal nearby makes it even better. Together, a day spent outdoors and food inspired by the season are reminders to slow down and savor more of what summer has to offer. Pairing healthy outdoor fun and food is worth celebrating. That’s why Sweetgreen and AllTrails are spotlighting a collection of iconic urban hikes across the U.S., matched below with seasonal Sweetgreen menu favorites for the perfect post-trail…
In the midst of litigation with parent organization, the NRA Foundation has rebranded itself. Whether or not the lawsuit has anything to do with the name change is not known. Earlier this year the National Rifle Association sued their subsidiary organization NRA Foundation. In the suit the NRA alleges that the Foundation has been withholding funds, are engaged in cyber squatting, are using trademarks owned by them unlawfully, and makes other accusations. The Foundation asserts that they’re trying to establish independence from their parent organization and are simply upholding their fiduciary duties. The Foundation cites…
Imagine being arrested, jailed, and forced onto an ankle monitor. Not because you committed a crime, but because the federal government’s background check system got your record wrong. That’s exactly what happened to Florida gun owner William Brewer, according to a recent report from Gun Owners of America (GOA). Brewer spent 14 days behind bars and another two weeks on an ankle monitor after the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) allegedly misidentified him as a convicted felon during a firearm purchase. The error stemmed from what GOA says was a mistaken match involving a decade-old misdemeanor case in…
Landing on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in May 2019, the first Plague Tale game set a strong precedent for the budding franchise, delivering a narrative-led adventure that put character growth and emotional storytelling at the forefront of the experience. While A Plague Tale: Innocence and its 2022 sequel A Plague Tale: Requiem featured stealth mechanics, combat was far from its primary focus. The same can’t be said, however, for the upcoming Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Back in April, I attended a preview event for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy in Paris. Along with around an hour or so…
I’ve not hidden my support for Brandon Herrera. I’ve purchased exactly one piece of campaign merch in my life, and it’s a t-shirt from Herrera’s campaign. He’s a very pro-gun candidate and that’s important to me. He’s not a one-issue candidate, either, which also matters, and while I don’t agree with him on everything, I do think he’s a solid choice for the House of Representatives. His opponent isn’t.Herrera made not just a solid showing, but came in first during the primary. He avoided a runoff because troubled incumbent Tony Gonzales withdrew from the race…
From the dense jungles and tunnel complexes of Vietnam, where he answered more than 380 Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) calls in a single year, to becoming one of the first EOD specialists selected for the original Delta Force, Vining has forged a career defined by technical mastery under extreme pressure and an enduring commitment to his fellow service members. His path took him through the high-stakes rescue attempt Operation EAGLE CLAW in Iran, the intense combat of Operation URGENT FURY in Grenada, support to a major domestic prison crisis known as Operation POCKET PLANNER, and later roles investigating the Khobar…
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has launched an experimental Arctic drone task force expanding its military presence in the region. The United States-led bloc has consistently cited an alleged Russian threat to justify its Arctic buildup. According to a report by RT, this latest NATO initiative was unveiled over the weekend as the research vessel Alliance departed La Spezia, Italy, launching Task Force X-Arctic (TFX-Arctic). The experimental unit is set to operate through 2026 and into next year, with the stated aim of demonstrating how uncrewed systems can provide persistent multi-domain situational awareness across the North Atlantic, the Arctic, and the…
We sped down Cement Creek Road between 11,000-foot Cement Mountain and Red Mountain’s ridge. The sun was setting on our double-track return. For the first time on our ride, I easily rolled at a faster clip than my e-bike partner, Dane Tudor. He was on a full suspension e-MTB, while I was testing the updated Aventon Ramblas ADV hardtail e-mountain bike. Clearly, this playful, nimble hardtail design is made to transfer power to the ground. The tread pattern enables the bike to roll quickly and efficiently: Maxxis Rekon tires utilize a tightly spaced, ramped center tread. The design minimizes resistance,…
As we’ve long seen, Floridians aren’t anti-gun. In fact, they removed a number of lawmakers who voted for the post-Parkland gun control measures, and they continue to push for a restoration of their gun rights. In fact, they’ve made some pretty good strides. Unfortunately, those post-Parkland measures are still in place. While Gov. Ron DeSantis has been pretty pro-gun, it’s been Attorney General James Uthmeier who has made a lot of the recent pro-gun moves.His latest has been to say that the state’s three-day waiting period is unconstitutional and is settling a lawsuit that challenged…
Last fall, a few Japanese automakers started looking into the possibility of importing some of their American-made vehicles into Japan. Seemingly the reason behind this wasn’t just to sell more cars, but also to potentially improve relations with the US, and particularly the Trump administration, to potentially ease tariffs on Japan’s exports. Some automakers have begun to follow through on those plans, particularly Toyota, as it and its subsidiary Subaru may bring two more models to Japanese customers. The Biggest Comes From Subaru Credit: Subaru At first blush, it seems a little strange that, of all the models Subaru could sell…
