The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has refused New Mexico’s request for an en banc hearing after a three-judge panel ruled the state’s seven-day waiting period on firearm transfers violates the Second Amendment.  New Mexico’s only has one avenue left in the appeals process: the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s highly unlikely that the Court would intervene and allow the waiting period to remain in effect until it decides whether or not to take up the appeal, so in all likelihood the waiting period is going to come to a screeching halt in just a few…

Eighty-one years ago this month, on Dec. 16, 1944, German forces launched their last major offensive on the Western Front. The Battle of the Bulge would become the largest and bloodiest single battle American forces fought in World War II, with more than 80,000 U.S. casualties over six brutal winter weeks.But behind the headlines about tank battles and infantry heroics, combat medics fought a different war. Working in frozen Belgian forests under constant artillery fire, they established battlefield medicine standards that shaped modern military medical care and laid the groundwork for today’s Department of Veterans Affairs health care system.Read More: The…

This article was originally published by Cassie B. at Natural News under the title: China Warns Japan Nuclear Weapons Pursuit Would “Bring Disaster to the World” After Official Floats Acquiring Nukes A senior Japanese official’s suggestion of acquiring nuclear weapons sparked regional condemnation. China warned this would bring disaster and accused Japan of failing to reflect on its wartime past. Other neighbors like North Korea and Russia also issued sharp warnings against Japanese nuclear armament. The Japanese government quickly reaffirmed its commitment to its non-nuclear principles domestically. The incident reveals a growing undercurrent of debate in Japan over its security…

Relieved. That’s the only word for how I felt the first morning I stepped into Atomic Backland XTD Carbon touring boots ($1,140). After testing many boots that pinched, folded, or left hot spots by the second lap, I slid into these and immediately relaxed. The fit felt dialed without adding a footbed or a single shell punch. That never happens for me. And, the boot moved with an ease I usually only get from full-on lightweight touring models. Then, when I pointed skis downhill off Teton Pass, the boot showed surprising backbone for its weight. That combination — comfort, frictionless…

The District of Columbia has some ridiculous gun control laws and has had them for quite some time. It’s weird to think that they were “shall issue” on concealed carry permits well before Bruen, but not so much when you remember that the only reason they did so was that they lost in the circuit court and didn’t want to take the case farther so we’d get what we got in Bruen. In other words, the only pro-gun move they’ve ever made was because of anti-gun reasons. They didn’t want to kill “may issue” across…

U.S. forces, led by the Coast Guard, are now chasing a third oil tanker near Venezuela, sharply escalating a high-stakes crackdown aimed at the country’s sanctioned crude trade.The Coast Guard is working with federal partners to track another oil tanker in international waters near Venezuela suspected of moving crude in violation of U.S. sanctions, official said. The pursuit comes days after two other tankers were seized, marking a broader escalation by the Trump administration to cut off oil revenue tied to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and to warn foreign buyers that sanctioned shipments now face direct interdiction.The latest pursuit per…

The idea for this setup came after watching Bear Independent’s discussion on light squad weapons for civilian resistance operations. We’re not replicating a SAW.  We’re closing the gap between a standard AR and a weapon that can realistically fill the “light squad weapon” role for the average American who doesn’t have $12K to spare for a transferable civilian SAW. Using the above photo of a Paratrooper SAW as an example, enter the PSA Jackl Light Squad Weapon with a bit of a GWOT vibe thanks to the EOTech 512 and KAC vertical grip. Why the PSA JAKL Works as a…

Archie Hemsley may be 101, but his mastery on the golf course is a sight to behold. Hemsley, a British World War II veteran, recently bested 30 other competitors at a tournament for golfers age 80 and older at his favorite course, the Luffenham Heath Golf Club in Rutland, England. When he was handed The Eley Trophy, the tournament’s winning prize, Hemsley told the BBC he was “very surprised.” Despite being an avid golfer, still hitting the links several times a week, Hemsley said he hadn’t won many tournaments in the past. “I’m not all that keen on winning,” he said. “Other people like…

If there’s one type of shooting that is broadly accepted across the world, it’s Olympic shooting sports. They might restrict the guns so that not just anyone can take up the sport, but it’s at least an option for some. And honestly, why wouldn’t they? Most guns for Olympic sports are as tame as firearms get. Shotguns might be closer to what the average gun buyer in the United States would buy for hunting or literally any other purpose, but Olympic shooting involves more than sporting clays.However, it seems that the proposed changes to Australia’s…

A former schoolteacher armed with a radio and a force of Solomon Islander scouts became one of World War II’s most legendary coastwatchers, killing more than 50 Japanese soldiers and providing intelligence that helped save the Guadalcanal campaign. Donald Gilbert Kennedy’s men gave early warning of every Japanese air attack on Guadalcanal from Rabaul over the course of 10 months in 1942 and 1943, allowing Marine and Navy fighters to scramble and meet the incoming raids. His exploits earned him both the British Distinguished Service Order and the U.S. Navy Cross.U.S. Admiral William Halsey later declared that coastwatchers saved Guadalcanal and…

Russia has reaffirmed that it will provide full support and stands in solidarity with Venezuela as the country faces a United States military blockade in the Caribbean. Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone conversation with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yvan Gil, during which he expressed “serious concern over Washington’s increasingly escalatory actions in the Caribbean Sea,” according to a ministry statement. Russian President Vladimir Putin sided with Lavron. Earlier, Putin expressed “solidarity with the people of Venezuela and reaffirmed his support for the [Nicolas] Maduro government’s resolve to defend national interests and sovereignty against foreign pressure.” Washington has deployed multiple naval…

Packing a truck for a hunting trip is part logistics, part intuition. Every loadout is shaped by variables — weather, terrain, trip length, and who’s riding with you — but the goal is always the same: arrive with a camp that’s safe, efficient, and comfortable enough to recover for the next day’s hunt. After nearly a decade of loading a Ram 1500 for hunt and fish camps, I’ve learned that the best truck camps aren’t overpacked — they’re intentionally packed. Explore Ram LD Trucks Below is a system that works across seasons and styles of hunting. 2026 Ram 1500 RHO with…
