I really hate hypocrisy, and I hate it from any side. It’s one thing to take the argument of “well, they’re doing it, and it’s working, so while I hate it, I’d rather not lose everything.” It’s another to pretend that your preferred policies are sacrosanct while any variation on that is the worst thing ever when the other side tries it. For example, take the concept of sanctuary cities/counties/states. For quite a while, very blue cities engaged in sanctuary policies with illegal aliens, where they’d arrest someone, find out they’re illegal, punish them (maybe),…

Not unlike the super weapon referenced in the Star Wars quote on which the studio’s namesake is based, That’s No Moon has been building something in secret. This week at Summer Game Fest, GameRant finally got to see what That’s No Moon has been cooking up all these years, and what they have revealed is an industry-pushing experience constructed on a foundation of cinematic narrative combined with a set of revolutionary systems. By now, you have likely seen the reveal trailer for Crossfire, That’s No Moon’s single-player tactical cover shooter. You might have a lot of questions after seeing the…

In 2023, the military, under the direction of the Biden Administration, blew up a Boy Scout’s balloon with a $500,000 missile. At the time, the ruling class feared that Chinese spy balloons were floating above the United States. Chinese Spy Balloon Used American Technology To Spy The ruling class was in a rush to eliminate these spy balloons and instead used its access to “intelligence” and technology to take out a Boy Scout’s balloon. The “spy balloon frenzy” kicked off in early February 2023 when a Chinese high-altitude balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina by an F-22 Raptor.…

The Supreme Court has let an appellate court ruling stand in a case involving a third grade student’s “Come and Take It” hat, denying cert in a petition filed on behalf of the student and her father.  The student in question wore a cap with the words “Come and Take It” and an AR-15 to her Michigan school during a “Hat Day” event, but was told she needed to remove it because of the disruption and concern it might cause. We’ve been following this case for several years here at Bearing Arms; ever since the federal…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel and Iran appeared to back away from further strikes Monday, hours after they traded fire for the first time since the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Tehran two months ago. Both countries warned that they were ready to launch retaliatory attacks if provoked. The renewed hostilities raised concerns that the Middle East could be plunged back into a full-scale war. Since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on Feb. 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven energy prices up around the world and made many basics, including food, more…

Once upon a time, the places we turned to for entertainment largely tried to stay out of politics. OK, maybe not, but they were more subtle about a lot of it. They didn’t put up banners telling half the country to take a hike, then wonder why no one wants to watch what they put out. Still, sports were different.Yes, athletes had opinions, and they were more than willing to share them, but the teams themselves kept quiet, at least for the most part. They took non-controversial stands that the general public could get behind.…

The V8 engine may be an endangered species today, but for several decades these eight-cylinder powerplants were a symbol of American motoring. Large, noisy, and powerful, they embodied the idea of road-trip freedom, powering anything from sports cars to family haulers. The V8-powered wagon was formerly a common way to get around America from the 1950s through roughly the 1980s, with a few stragglers lasting until the 1990s. If you’re looking to add a piece of American automotive history to your garage, you might consider buying a classic wagon with a V8 on board. Here, we are taking a closer…

Janja Garnbret is no stranger to success. The 27-year-old Slovenian is arguably the greatest competition climber of all time. She has won 49 gold medals on the World Cup circuit, the most elite level of competition. While Garnbret has never been a slouch in outdoor climbing (she’s sent V15 and 5.14d, after all), her competition dominance has always outshone her achievements on real rock. That is, until now. On June 8, Garnbret announced that she sent Bibliographie (5.15c), becoming the first woman and only sixth person to send the iconic route — long considered one of the world’s most difficult.…

Yet again, the Supreme Court’s orders from its weekly conference have been released with no news on any of the five lawsuits challenging bans on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines.  Sorry, 19th*.I forgot one was a reschedule.— Kostas Moros (@MorosKostas) June 8, 2026I still think SCOTUS is waiting on the Third Circuit to issue its en banc opinion in the challenges to New Jersey’s gun and magazine ban, which could create a circuit court split on the constitutionality of banning commonly-owned arms. As some have theorized, though, the Third Circuit could be waiting…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are warning the White House that a critical surveillance authority is likely to lapse this week amid bipartisan backlash over President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the nation’s intelligence community. Sen. Tom Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sounded the alarm over the weekend after a failed procedural vote to extend the program. The senators in a letter urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to prepare “for a potential significant gap in foreign intelligence collection” if the authority expires. Section 702 of the Foreign…

Ebola cases have now topped 500, and more than 90 deaths due to the virus have been reported, according to the latest figures released by the National Institute of Public Health. This outbreak has proven difficult for health officials to track and contain. On Sunday, the authorities recorded 515 confirmed infections and 91 deaths across the provinces of Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu, bringing the overall case fatality rate to 17.7%. More than half of all patients remain under isolation or hospital care, while only 12 people have officially recovered. “People Are Hiding” During Ebola Outbreak, Making Containment Difficult…

I’ve been backpack hunting for over a decade now, and I’ve tried quite a few different stoves and seen even more in action from friends. There are a lot of good ones and a few great ones, even, but none that have been made specifically for the hunt. Until now, that is. The Roughridge Highcountry Cook System is a stove made by hunters for hunters. Yeah, I know. That phrase gets tossed around a lot these days. Being “made by hunters for hunters” is all fine and dandy, but that doesn’t have anything to do with whether it actually works…
