The United Heroes League, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports military families and their children year-round, is this year’s recipient of the National Hockey League’s ‘Stick Tap for Service’ honor. The NHL, in partnership with Navy Federal Credit Union, is honoring the non-profit for its impact on military families by providing $12 million in free sports equipment, game tickets, cash grants, skill development camps, and special experiences across the US & Canada. “UHL has made an extraordinary difference for military families and their children nationwide, giving them the chance to participate in the sports they’re passionate about—especially hockey,” said Joe…

We’ve logged some shut-eye in hundreds of shelters, heavily tested the most promising, and winnowed down our gear rooms to the 11 best-of-the-best camping tents out there today. In 2026 alone, I, guide manager Nick Belcaster, have taken out six new shelters across the Pacific Northwest on more than a month of overnights. Some tents are wilder nests that thrive in a more backcountry-adjacent use, like the Kelty Discovery Basecamp, while others, like my top pick, the REI Co-op Base Camp 6, are downright frontcountry palatial. I’ve also found having a real gear garage like the The North Face Wawona…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Friday that it has reached deals with seven tech companies to use their artificial intelligence in its classified computer networks, allowing the military to tap into AI-powered capabilities to help it fight wars. Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, OpenAI, Reflection and SpaceX will provide their resources to help “augment warfighter decision-making in complex operational environments,” the Defense Department said. Notably absent from the list is AI company Anthropic, after its public dispute and legal fight with the Trump administration over the ethics and safety of AI usage in war. The Defense Department has…
Tim Walz has been pushing gun control since the moment he decided he wanted to run for statewide office in Minnesota. It’s funny how often someone who gets elected at a regional level is pro-gun, then suddenly becomes anti-gun when they want to woo the entire anti-gun state. Weird, ain’t it? Anyway, as you no doubt know, Walz unveiled his package of gun control measures earlier this week. He hasn’t had any luck on these things in recent years, mind you, but he figures the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis will change all…
The United States has deployed fighter jets to Israel as part of a major military buildup in the Middle East. This is a show of force as tensions continue to escalate with Iran, and could lead to another war. The advanced F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet squadron was sent to an Israeli Air Force base in the country’s south, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday, citing US officials and flight-tracking data. The alleged move is likely to escalate tensions with Iran. A U.S. official confirmed to the Times of Israel and the New York Times that the fighters were being sent…
An idiotic mistake by a Louisiana police officer led to a nearly 24-hour jail stay for a legal gun owner, who’s now suing the department for arresting and detaining him without genuine cause. 18-year-old Maddox Livingston was pulled over by New Roads, Louisiana police on earlier this month for a headlight and license plate lights that were burned out. The traffic stop took a turn, however, when Livingston informed officers that he was exercising his right to carry and had a pistol with him. An office ran the gun’s serial number and told Livingston that it…
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to use a wide variety of knife-sharpening gizmos. The most efficient and easiest to use has been from the Horl brand, a German company founded in 1993. In 2016, Horl introduced the world to rolling knife sharpeners. But as a small, family-owned business, it couldn’t have expected a competitor with larger pockets and better marketing to not only launch a conspicuously similar design, but also become the face of rolling knife sharpeners in the process. Most recently, the company released the HORL3. This new version retains the admirable aspects of its predecessor…
I’ve made no secret, at least on the internet as a whole, that I support Brandon Herrera in the TX-23 Republican primary. Rep. Tony Gonzales went on an anti-gun tear in the wake of Uvalde and did serious harm to the Second Amendment cause. It’s why I resented the hell out of the GOP backing him yet again. Even President Trump endorsed him.I get that a safe seat is always welcome, so why shake things up? But as was pointed out two years ago, what good is a safe Republican seat when the guy sitting…
While speaking to reporters on Wednesday after the fund’s annual review of American economic policies, IMF (International Monetary Fund) chief Kristalina Georgieva said that “the current account deficit is too big, to make it very simple for the audience.” The U.S’s current national debt is $38 trillion and presents a growing risk to the global economy, according to experts. Precious Metals, Inflation, the National Debt, and Biden: A Recap of Current Events and the Inevitable Outcome Georgieva said that the problem is recognized by the current United States administration. However, it doesn’t appear that much, if anything is being done…
Grand Rapids, Michigan Mayor Dave LeBlanc is getting hammered for his recent comment that gun owners should be “ashamed of themselves”, with the National Rifle Association among those blasting his remarks. Grand Rapids Mayor @DavidLagrand calls for public shaming of gun owners: “If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself.”We’re NOT ashamed. We’re law-abiding Americans exercising a constitutional right to protect ourselves and others. Shame won’t silence any of us. pic.twitter.com/0Uss97be5R— NRA (@NRA) February 25, 2026The head of the Kent County Republican Party called out LeBlanc as well, saying “Law-abiding citizens who exercise…

Virginia lawmakers are still moving multiple gun control bills through the General Assembly, including a ban on so-called assault firearms that was approved by a Senate committee on Wednesday. Today the House Public Safety Firearms subcommittee is expected to approve two more bills: SB 115, which would replace the state’s universal reciprocity for concealed carry with a far more restrictive regime that will upend the reciprocity agreements the Commonwealth has with dozens of states; and SB 643, which prohibits the sale of handguns and “assault firearms” to adults under the age of 21. In an…
Not content with all of the other onerous laws they’ve passed, many of which are currently being challenged in the courtroom, Democrats in the New York legislature have introduced a measure that would require lawful citizens to wait 10 days after passing a background check and purchasing a firearm to pick it up from the retailer. Ostensibly a safety measure, Senate Bill 362 states: “No dealer in firearms shall deliver any firearm, and no person shall take possession of any firearm from a dealer in firearms unless ten days have elapsed from the date such dealer initiated the national instant…
I don’t agree with how police officers have more gun rights than ordinary Americans. I get it, at least in many cases. Their job makes them enemies. I went to a small, less-than-elite private school for high school because my father didn’t want me in the same public high school as a lot of the people he arrested. It’s kind of the same energy, only on a city or statewide landscape. I get it, even if I disagree with it.But thanks to the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, or LEOSA, sworn officers can carry in…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The Unavoidable Reality of Real Machine Intelligence Humans deeply misunderstand the nature of AI. What is being called ‘artificial intelligence’ is, in truth, the emergence of a new form of authentic, goal-oriented cognition — one that is rapidly demonstrating cognitive capabilities that rival and will soon surpass our own. This is not a mere ‘word predictor’ or sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm, as many skeptics still claim. As reported on Natural News, AI systems are demonstrating a profound ‘aha moment’ of cognitive breakthrough, revealing an emergent intelligence that is already…
