A GoFundMe has been set up for Army veteran Randy Santiago Cruz, a Seattle Seahawks fan who died two days before Super Bowl LX.Cruz, 72, of southwest Washington drew attention after the Seahawks sent him a “Salute to Service” care package while he received end-of-life care and rooted for his team, according to a Feb. 16 report by FOX 13 Seattle. Cruz reportedly hoped to live long enough to watch the big game taking place Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., when his Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots, but died two days before the contest.His family…

With Democrat legislators pushing the most anti-gun bills in recent history through the Virginia General Assembly, including a very restrictive ban on semi-auto firearms and gun magazines, many gun owners in the state thought things couldn’t get much worse. Time to think again. HB 1542 would prohibit carrying “assault firearms” in public places, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. And according to a report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), the way the measure is written makes it far more dangerous than it seems. “Because of vague definitions, HB 1524 effectively criminalizes carrying any center-fire semi-automatic firearm…

The U.S. Virgin Islands government is currently being sued by the Department of Justice over several of its draconian gun laws, but the litigation isn’t stopping the territory’s legislature from working to enact even more restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. Now the territory’s sole Second Amendment advocacy group claims the legislature is suppressing the voices of gun owners, in part by scheduling hearings with little advance notice.  Getting to the legislature to testify can be a time consuming ordeal for those who don’t live on the island where hearings are taking…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction For years, the cumulative damage from decades of martial arts training lingered as a low-grade, ever-present pain. A damaged finger and a back that protested at the thought of a jog were my constant companions. The Western medical system offered little promise other than suggesting painkillers or invasive surgeries, options rooted in a profit-driven model that rarely addresses root causes [1]. As someone deeply committed to natural health and self-reliance, I was profoundly skeptical of any so-called ‘miracle cure.’ That skepticism was challenged, however, by the discovery of BPC-157,…

When it comes to emergency preparedness, most of us are just trying to prepare for the worst and learn how to take care of our families in a crisis. We’re not looking for trouble. But what if some of the very tools we rely on in emergencies are raising red flags? What if buying certain survival items is enough to land you on a list you never knew existed?Nowadays, nothing you do on the Internet is private. Even if you use a VPN, companies like Palantir and Microsoft can find ways to track and record everything you do, especially everything…

There are some people you look at and think, “I hate that you’re on my side.”This is true for people on every part of the political spectrum. These are usually the more extreme people out there, but often it’s not even a matter of political position versus one doing a terrible job of representing an ideology. And then you have the people who, at least on the surface, seem to stand for everything you despise, but then make one stand that sounds like you uttered the words.That’s what we’ve got here.For those unfamiliar with a…

Reaching the summit of Mt. Whitney is one thing. Reaching the safety of your car afterward is another. The 21.4-mile round-trip hike has an elevation gain of over 6,000 feet. Near the summit, the air is thin, and the terrain can be snow-covered in places and icy. It’s a dangerous climb that claims lives every year. In 2025, there were five fatalities on the mountain, the deadliest year of the last decade. In 2026, Whitney has already claimed one life near the summit on Jan. 19. Despite the dangers, between 25,000 and 30,000 people successfully hike Mount Whitney every year. It is…

Less than a year and counting until its first “Universal EV” debuts, Ford wants to change the equation with a new approach to designing and manufacturing battery-electric vehicles. While we’ll have to wait to see if it meets that lofty goal, the automaker claims the new lineup will be less expensive, offer longer range, and be more capable than any EV now on the market. First off the line will be a Maverick-sized pickup offering Ranger-sized roominess and at least 300 miles of range, starting under $30,000. Over the next several years, Ford confirmed today, it will add a variety…

There’s no doubt that Missouri is one of, if not the most, pro-gun states in the nation. I mean, this is a state that took sanctuary status for the Second Amendment and enshrined it into law via the Second Amendment Preservation Act. Unfortunately, that law was overturned by the courts, which cited the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. (Cool, now do immigration sanctuary laws, guys.)Now, the state is once again considering how to bulk up its protections for the gun rights of Missourians, while trying not to cross the line where the law gets smacked…

Regional organizations unite to strategize on Second Amendment defense The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is organizing the first-ever New England Firearms Advocacy Conference, scheduled for May 30, 2026, at Castle of Knights in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

The Florida Department of Health’s officials have released an update on a measles outbreak at a university.  There have been 46 confirmed cases of measles across Collier County from January 1st to February 7th.

Most flipper knives require a bit of actual flipping to open the blade. But with the WEKnife Speedliner, a late 2024 introduction designed by Tashi Bharucha, it’s more like pulling a trigger. WEKnife sent me a Speedliner Flipper Knife with a titanium handle around the holidays. I hadn’t sought it out, but it arrived with a brief note of thanks and carried my name on the handle. I didn’t think much of reviewing it until now, a couple of months later, as it has really earned a spot in my daily rotation. While the Speedliner seemed to garner a lukewarm…
