For years, gun control supporters tried to argue that they didn’t want to interfere with your right to keep and bear arms. They just wanted some laws that might delay you buying a gun, but would supposedly keep the criminals from getting them. Of course, we know that was always a load of BS. They don’t like people buying guns at all, and they want to do everything they can to discourage gun ownership. If they can’t ban it, they want to demonize guns while also making it as difficult as possible to get one,…

Utah lawmakers are among those expressing discontent with the Department of Defense’s new list of recognized religious faiths and beliefs, specifically alarmed at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) being excluded as a Christian religion. Last Thursday, Military.com was the first to report how the DOD drastically reduced its number of recognized religious faiths and belief systems by 180—from the 211 recognized in 2017, to this change nearly 10 years later that recognizes 31 faiths and beliefs. The change, communicated through the ranks via an internal May 20 memo obtained by Military.com, drew scrutiny from current and…

As I zipped past the colorful facades of Crested Butte’s downtown homes and cornered from street to street, I felt like a pro delivery rider on the Buzz Cerana 2. Built as an agile e-commuter, the Buzz has a forward position with smaller 24-inch wheels, flatter handlebars, a manual drop seat, and a punchy motor that invites its driver to actively command it. Arriving on the market as a functional, entry-level contender, the Buzz Cerana 2 trades raw top-end speed for out-of-the-box practicality. Outfitted with dual racks, full fenders, and a host of clever comfort qualities, it aims to prove…

The 2023 mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine marked a turning point in the state’s gun control debate. Before Lewiston, anti-gun measures faced an uphill battle in both the legislature and the court of public opinion. A 2016 ballot referendum to enact universal background checks, for instance, was defeated despite Michael Bloomberg pouring millions of dollars into the “yes” campaign, while then-Gov. Paul LePage signed a permitless carry bill into law the year before.  Since the mass shooting, Maine residents have approved a “red flag” law, while legislators have passed bills expanding background checks and imposing…

Ahead of its upcoming July 2026 release, Halo Studios has given fans a first look at the three new missions coming to Halo: Campaign Evolved, which should make fans of Sergeant Johnson pretty happy. Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to retell the original story of Master Chief from 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved, reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, with a couple of new features in tow for modern audiences. First revealed at the Halo World Championships in October 2025, Halo: Campaign Evolved is the first large-scale remake from Halo Studios using Unreal Engine 5 instead of the studio’s proprietary Slipspace Engine.…

A flesh-eating parasite has been confirmed in Texas livestock. Canada has now banned the import of United States livestock, including horses, over the screwworm infestation. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has condemned Ottawa’s move as an “overreaction,” even though he has already declared a statewide disaster The first case of screwworm was identified in Texas on Wednesday. This marks the first detection of the parasite in the US, roughly 80km (50 miles) from the Mexican border. The outbreak began in Central America in 2023 and has been spreading steadily northward ever since. By late 2025, Mexico had reported thousands of cases…

The National Park Service (NPS) oversees a whole lot more than just national parks. It manages and protects many historic sites and landmarks that tell important parts of U.S. history, from the Civil War to the suffragists to the Civil Rights Movement. The NPS will soon allow people to visit an internment camp in Hawaiʻi that imprisoned hundreds of Japanese Americans during World War II. For the first time since it closed in 1946, the Honouliuli National Historic Site will be open to the public. The History During the war, over 120,000 people of Japanese descent were forcibly detained in…

MHS GENESIS has completely transformed the Department of Defense’s (DoD) military medical screening process, integrating health data into a single network. The system allows MEPS doctors to digitally review healthcare databases and view recruits’ medical histories. The system helps MEPS review records more efficiently and can surface prior diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment history, such as childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety prescriptions. The good news is that services have eased waiver restrictions for certain medical conditions, such as ADHD. If you are flagged at MEPS with ADHD, anxiety, or a past medical issue, are you still able to…

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about some Seattle residents who are so fed up with prostitution, drug deals, and shootings in their neighborhood that they ended up erecting barricades to try to keep violent criminals at bay. The city has since removed those homemade roadblocks and installed ineffective chicanes that slow down traffic but don’t actually prevent anyone from driving on the side streets.  Seattle officials say they’ve also increased police patrols along Aurora Avenue, and are planning on permanently closing access to neighborhood side streets, though no timeline has been announced. At a…

BEIRUT — Israel and Iran traded fire on Monday, all but derailing a brittle two-month ceasefire that had largely stopped the fighting in the U.S and Israel’s assault on Iran. The tit-for-tat attacks between the two sides threaten to widen the scope of a conflict that has already killed and wounded thousands, displaced more than a million people and rattled economies across the globe — even while embroiling the U.S. in a war with no clear off-ramp. “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’ ” wrote President Donald Trump early Monday on his social media platform, Truth Social. Later, he…

There are a couple of cases we’re expecting the Supreme Court to rule on here soon. One deals with gun rights for people who use drugs considered illegal under federal law, while the other addresses Hawaii’s version of the “vampire rule.” While one involves a long-standing federal law and the other revolves around a relatively recent measure that was part of the state’s “carry killer” provisions, the fact that both are being addressed by the Supreme Court seems almost poetic.And it seems that Reuters looked to some experts to give them their take on these…
