Florida’s Everglades National Park is the largest wetland in North America, and home to endangered species like the Florida panther and West Indian manatee. A large wildfire is now threatening those animals’ habitat. The Highway 41 fire began on April 27, and authorities are struggling to contain it. What Happened The National Park Service (NPS) first learned of the fire on the evening of April 27, according to a press release. The U.S. Wildland Fire Service quickly responded with air and ground operations. As of midday on April 28, the fire had grown to 2,500 acres. Authorities closed several square…

It happens more often than I care to admit: I sit in my house watching those shows where people win free stuff – renovations, makeovers, etc. – and I think “that could be me.” But the crazy thing is that it really could. Or, instead, it could be you. Here’s how: Some folks at a friendly casting company are looking for a military family for a new home renovation show headed for HGTV. The show is not going to focus exclusively on military, but they want a military family for the pilot episode. As usual with this kind of thing,…
At the time of writing, the Springfield Lipsey’s Exclusive 10-8 Performance Master Class has fired just over one thousand rounds. A Return to the Platform I have been carrying the 10-8 Master Class full-time since my first impressions, shooting it almost daily. I like to use the first thousand rounds as a “get to know you” stage to really figure a gun out. Coming from a 12 oz J-frame, I’ve been spending a bit more time dry-firing the 10-8 to adjust to the platform. I have been a “1911 guy” for as long as I’ve been a “gun guy,” but…
I’ve never been tech-savvy. When it comes to gizmos and gadgets, I’m rarely enticed, mainly because I assume I won’t be able to work them or they’ll sit gathering dust in my closet. I didn’t jump on the smartphone bandwagon until 2019, and I won’t shy away from arguing for the superiority of landlines. But here’s my Catch 22. I love being outdoors and enjoy documenting my activities. A scenic run on a beautiful day? That’s something I’d share with my friends and family. An overhead wave and a perfect turn? Yeah, I’d love to show my grandkids that down…
House Republicans are advancing a funding bill for the Department of Justice that includes a major cut in funding to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives as well as measures meant to fully remove suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the regulatory framework of the National Firearms Act. 🚨BREAKING: Pro-2A wins in the FY27 CJS appropriations bill:✅ Cuts ATF budget by $285M✅ Defunds ATF’s illegal gun registry✅ Defunds EVERY Biden-era ATF rule✅ Prohibits NFA registration✅ Reduces NFA wait times✅ Prohibits gun buyback programs✅ Defunds “Red Flag” laws— Rep. Andrew Clyde (@Rep_Clyde) April 29, 2026The…
A Colorado activist in charge of an anti-gun and anti-violence organization called Heavy Hands, Heavy Hearts has been convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a man at his son’s fifth birthday party. 47-year-old Lumumba Sayers Sr. was originally charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 28-year-old Malcolm Watson, who was shot while hosting a birthday party for his young son at a park in the Denver suburb of Commerce City on August 10, 2024. According to prosecutors, Sayers was seeking revenge for the murder of his son, Lumumba Sayers, Jr. who…
LONDON — In the world of diplomatic faux pas, it could have been a lot worse. At Tuesday’s state dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla, U.S. President Donald Trump said that during a private meeting earlier in the day the British monarch had agreed with him that Iran should never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well,” Trump told the audience. “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more…
Standing at the top of the park jumps, it was my turn to ride in front of the camera. I would be sending the big jump line at Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a spring day in February. The unusually warm temperatures had the extreme terrain riding poorly due to icy conditions. But the terrain park, on a sunnier aspect, was perfectly soft. The local high school kids were out in force today, constantly putting down bigger tricks. At almost 30 years old, I have learned to approach the park a bit differently — no longer willing to take as…

With the suppressor tax stamp gone, thanks to that big 2025 bill, everybody’s jumping on subsonic loads to get the most out of their new cans, much to the boon of the very limited selection of companies that produce subsonic loads. This specific ammo turns an already great experience with a suppressor into a whisper-quiet experience that’s perfect for home defense, plinking, or hunting without ringing ears and oftentimes negating the need for additional hearing protection. While getting into the subsonic suppressed setup game used to be a lot of extra cash and frustration, now you can just go to…
When Patrick “Tate” Adamiak was arrested and convicted of possessing numerous illegal weapons, it was the Biden administration, and we all know that there would be no hope for the then active-duty sailor. Never mind that the trial never should have happened, and that the only reason a jury convicted him was that the judge blocked some important testimony from being heard. The truth was that he was yet another casualty in the ATF’s desire to look like they could actually do something. At least he survived the ordeal.Still, when Trump returned to office, so…
Reports of a “backdoor” national firearms registry have been a big concern for gun-rights organizations and pro-gun federal lawmakers for several years. Now, a news report at Reason.com not only confirms the secret registry created with firearms transaction records accumulated by the ATF from firearm retailers who have gone out of business, but explains how Republican lawmakers have been seeking answers for nearly a year. According to the report, the registry is made up of a “digital trove of hundreds of millions—possibly over a billion—firearm transaction records that the agency has digitized from former dealer files.” On February 3, U.S.…
Last year some unnamed DOJ officials briefly floated the idea of banning transgendered individuals from possessing firearms, but after getting public pushback from every major Second Amendment group with a national footprint, the suggestion seems to have been quietly dropped. After a mass shooting in British Columbia and a targeted act of familial murder/suicide in Rhode Island committed by trans individuals in the span of less than a week, though, several conservative pundits are now vocally calling for gun bans for transgenders. Any adult man with a wife and children who “transitions” to a “woman” is…
This article was originally published by Kevin Hughes at Natural News under the title: Trump Administration Escalates War on Drugs With Lethal Maritime Strikes, Signals Imminent Land Operations The Trump administration has intensified lethal naval operations near Venezuela, conducting at least nine strikes since September against suspected drug-trafficking vessels, resulting in 37 fatalities. President Donald Trump announced plans for expanded “hard” land-based strikes against cartels, following naval interdictions that reportedly reduced drug flows by 33%. Mexican cartels like MS-13 have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations to justify military action. Critics, including Colombian President Gustavo Petro and U.S. lawmakers, challenge…
I get that Australians aren’t big fans of the right to keep and bear arms. Hell, it’s bad enough there that it barely even qualifies as a privilege, especially as things have gone since the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. But that’s a thing for private citizens. No one who has any sense thinks the military should be disarmed, too. Oh, maybe not let them carry guns in various places, but they know that fighting wars needs guns, and there’s always someone most people think is worth killing, even if its their fellow countrymen and women.Despite…
“It’s a group mindset out here,” can be heard from the passenger side of a dusty off-highway vehicle roaring down a desert trail. Among the towering Saguaro cacti, leathery-leafed Jojoba shrubs, and pungent creosote bushes, two off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts talk shop in a side-by-side on a straightaway section of Arizona’s Boulders OHV Trail. Their goal? Highlighting the importance of courteous, safe, and informed off-highway driving … and having a little fun exploring Arizona in the process. Nick Olson takes his Chupacabra Off Road OHV on the trail; (photo/AZGFD) Meet the driver: off-highway expert, Nick Olson, who has coupled his…
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) says that the Epstein files may contain “crimes against humanity.” We would say that it is almost a certainty that those files contain these violations. The UNHRC released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States ruling class related to criminal investigations into the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein. The UNHRC also demanded that all perpetrators be prosecuted no matter The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection The Clintons Will Testify In Epstein Probe The Epstein files reveal instances of “sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance,…
Supertramp has established itself as a world-class truck camper company, with build standards far beyond the typical recreational vehicle (RV). Its latest offering is a chassis-mounted truck camper designed to mate with a 1-ton Ford SuperDuty truck. The Supertramp Paragon bridges the gap between the company’s slide-in truck campers and its F-550-based expedition camper. It’s also an alternative to adventure vans at a similar price point. The Paragon is not a half-million-dollar Supertramp Megatron or a million-dollar EarthRoamer. It is a much smaller expedition-style overland camper, which costs a fraction of the price. Supertramp Paragon Basics $189K starting price for…
The ATF isn’t our friend. It could be, but the truth is that there have been too many years when the bureau sought to spend more time monitoring what people like you and me were doing than actually going after armed criminals and actual gun traffickers. In fairness, going after those guys is hard, while we’re easier targets. Heaven forbid someone employed by the federal government has to actually work hard, with the notable exception of the junior enlisted in the military.What we all would like to see is someone running the ATF who isn’t…
Pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America has announced it is launching its first-ever digital magazine, an exclusive membership benefit for GOA members. According to Felisha Bull, Director of Communications for GOA, the new magazine will build upon the success of GOA’s State of the Second Podcast and will expand the State of the Second brand into long-form storytelling and analysis, tailored specifically for gun owners. “State of the Second will provide GOA members with in-depth, original content that blends advocacy, industry insight and exclusive access,” Bull wrote in a news release announcing the launch. “The magazine will feature expert gun reviews from trusted…
