I don’t expect much out of Gavin Newsom besides hair gel and terrible decisions. Somehow, though, he’s still a frontrunner for the next Democratic nomination for president. Absolutely weird. His latest bad decision was to attack the Supreme Court’s decision in Wolford, where they struck down the so-called vampire rule.Newsom, like most anti-gunners, has a problem with the decision, but his attempt to make a point was hilariously bad. Let’s start with his argument first.Gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court will only endanger people.If Justice Alito really thinks people need…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. The magnitude 5.6 earthquake that just shook portions of three different states should be a huge wake-up call for everyone who lives in California. The San Andreas Fault system is locked and loaded, and it is just a matter of time before an absolutely cataclysmic earthquake permanently alters the geography of the state. A day is coming when large portions of Southern California will no longer be above water. I have written about this over and over again, and I have warned about this more times than…
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Friday moved to prolong temporary protection status for millions of people who have fled the war in Ukraine, but not for new arrivals who would be eligible to serve in the armed forces. Ukraine is desperate to boost the size of its fighting force more than four years into its full-scale war with Russia. It’s estimated to have suffered around 600,000 military casualties. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in February that 55,000 troops have died and many are missing. More than 4.4 million Ukrainians have been welcomed into the EU since 2022. Most…

The U.S. government’s purchase of massive databases, combined with AI-powered data processing, poses a dangerous threat to the privacy of America’s lawful gun owners, according to the pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America (GOA). In a national alert distributed on April 22, GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt warned of the dangers and called members to action to put an end to the threat. “They don’t need to kick down your door anymore. They just pull out a credit card,” Pratt wrote. “Right now, the federal government is purchasing massive commercial databases packed with personal information: your location history,…
As someone whose closet is overbrimming with down jackets, I speak from experience when I say I’ve got beef with outdoor apparel brands. When it comes to women’s jackets, brands almost always choose a too-slim fit with narrow shoulders. Even when I size up, I often don’t have a full range of motion in my arms and shoulders. I expected the same thing to happen a few months ago when I put on Outdoor Vitals’ (OV) Zulu Down Jacket for the first time. And yet, after I zipped it up, to my surprise, I could fully move my arms. If…
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger should probably be up for an Academy Award. She convinced more than enough people in the state of Virginia that she was a moderate and could be trusted to focus on affordability. Since taking office, she’s rolled as far left as she could without popping up on the right, and she’s done nothing about affordability in the Old Dominion State. She has, for example, had lots of time to play games with gun control and redistricting a state after saying she had no such intentions.To potentially buy a little time for…
Iran has just tossed a bone to the United States. It has offered to open the Strait of Hormuz first, and then hold talks on its nuclear program. U.S. Begins Blockade of Strait of Hormuz This would postpone nuclear talks but reopen the vital waterway, relieving pressure at the pump, while also, hopefully, signaling an end to the war. This proposal, which was delivered to the White House via Pakistani intermediaries, focuses on extending the ceasefire or even ending the war, as well as lifting the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint accounting for 20% of…

While Illinois Democrats have been cracking down on legal gun ownership by criminalizing basic aspects of our Second Amendment rights, they’ve also been “reforming” the state’s criminal justice system in ways that allow judges and prosecutors to cut violent offenders a break when they show up in court… or even if they don’t show up at all. On Saturday morning, 26-year-old Alphanso Talley allegedly shot and killed a Chicago police office and gravely wounded another at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. According to CWB Chicago, Talley is a seven-time felon with two other pending cases…
For many veterans, leaving the military means giving up the ability to give back to a cause greater than themselves. However, through the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), veterans have discovered a new way to step up for their communities. On Saturday, May 2, VFW will host its fifth annual Day of Service, a program that encourages veterans to lead local service projects. An initiative that began with humble roots, with about 200 events during its inaugural year, has ballooned to more than 2,300 projects in 2025, with more expected in 2026. Some veterans have used the Day of Service to mobilize…
As my colleague Tom Knighton covered in his first post of the day, Democrats have largely responded to the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and top administration officials with a toxic mix of conspiracy theories and calls for more gun control. I haven’t seen the conspiracy theory angle get much traction in the media (though give it time, I suppose), but the liberal press is embracing the idea that the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents Association dinner on Saturday night is a teachable moment for the forces of gun control. We’lve also…

This article was originally published by Sterling Ashworth at Natural News under the title: DOJ Announces Recovery of $700 Million from Chinese-Linked Crypto Scam Compound, Funds to Be Returned to U.S. Victims DOJ Announces Asset Seizure and Victim Compensation Plan U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, April 23, that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has recovered $700 million from Chinese cryptocurrency scammers, with plans to return the funds to American victims. The announcement detailed that the funds, which had been restrained to prevent further movement within blockchain systems, are now being processed for redistribution. According to Pirro, this…
If President Donald Trump hasn’t broken the all-time record for assassination attempts against him, he’s got to be close as the White House Correspondence Dinner, normally a time of the press thinking they still matter, the president playing along, and a lot of bad jokes by comedians who think they’re funny. Gunshots are usually not on the agenda. Over the weekend, though, that changed, as I’m sure you’ve already heard.A California man traveled to Washington, booked a room in the hotel where the dinner was at, thus allowing him inside the building, and tried to…
On the morning of Jan. 30, 1944, two battalions of U.S. Army Rangers found themselves surrounded in the open farmland south of Cisterna, Italy, outnumbered and outgunned by a German force that had been waiting for them. By the time the fighting ended, a force of 767 Rangers had been reduced to just six.The 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions, the core of the Army’s premier commando force since 1942, ceased to exist in a single day. The defeat halted the use of Army Rangers in the Mediterranean, led to the disbandment of the original Ranger battalions and forced the Army to…
