Steiner Optics is stepping into a space that’s been talked about for years. But rarely executed well. The new Steiner eDiscovery 10×42 binoculars don’t just help you see what’s out there… they let you capture it without ever lowering the glass. One Tool Instead of Two Anyone who spends time in the field knows the drill. You spot something worth capturing… Then you fumble for your phone or camera… And by the time you’re ready, the moment’s gone. The Steiner eDiscovery 10×42 binoculars aim to fix that. With a built-in 4K camera and 12MP photo capability, everything happens right where…
A United States congressman and veteran who facilitated a $10 million funding infusion to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Warfighting Lab (MCWL) at Marine Corps Base Quantico knows the importance of the facility, partially because it’s in his own backyard. Rep. Eugene Vindman, a Democrat and U.S. Army veteran, represents Virginia’s 7th District—the same district where the Warfighting Lab is located. The constituents represented within run the gamut across the national security apparatus, totaling roughly 72,000 military veterans, nearly 20,000 active-duty service members, and at one point around 55,000 federal civil servants prior to cuts made by the so-called Department of…
Connected bikes usually promise the same basic thing. They’re supposed to bring the studio home, make cardio less miserable, and justify the space they take up by becoming something you’ll actually use. Some pull that off. Some become expensive coat racks with a screen. The VeloNix is Speediance’s answer to the Peloton-style bike, built around guided rides, connected features, on-screen entertainment, and an ownership model that doesn’t saddle you with another monthly bill. It’s a compelling pitch, especially for people who want the connected-bike experience without fully buying into the Peloton ecosystem. I spent several months riding the VeloNix to…
A man acting erratically on a train headed for Chicago was spotted by a rail worker who called police. Officers found guns and a pamphlet about crowd control in his carry-on bag — and a plan for a mass casualty event. Almost two years later, federal authorities say a different man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday was arrested with a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol he brought with him to Washington, D.C., on an Amtrak train from California. It’s just the latest security incident involving long-distance public ground…
The United States ruling class claims that it cannot defend against Russian or Chinese hypersonic missiles and is seeking funding to rectify the issue. Senior Pentagon officials called on lawmakers for funding for the proposed Golden Dome missile defense program. The Golden Dome system is expected to cost around $175 billion over the next decade, according to initial estimates by the Trump administration, although Pentagon projections have since risen to roughly $185 billion, and some analysts warn the final price could be substantially higher, according to a report by RT. The ruling class has been asking questions about Washington’s missile…
I first started wearing the LaCrosse Burly Aero on a few late-winter shed walks when the weather was too warm for that time of year, and the ground was an absolute mess. Since then, I’ve kept grabbing them for a lot more than that. They’ve been on my feet hauling feed, sitting for ducks, and doing all the everyday stuff that gets a whole lot more annoying when everything is wet and muddy. I even packed them with me for a wet trip to southern Alaska. A lot of rubber boots are tolerable at best. They keep your feet dry,…
The telltale splashy color blocks of Cotopaxi packs became a common sight inside airport terminals seemingly overnight. Beginning with the simple Del Dia daypacks and eventually the purpose-built Allpa carry-on bags, travel packs became the leading category for the iconic “Do Good” B-corp. With every size of carry-ons, soft-side roller bags, totes, and a variety of duffels, Cotopaxi had one glaring omission from the lineup: hard-side luggage. I received an early sample of the Coraza, Cotopaxi’s first hard-side, four-wheeled bags. Beyond the typical aesthetic flair, Cotopaxi tries to elbow a niche by making the bags modular, repairable, and semi-customizable. In…
Pew Research has released some interesting and new collated data on gun-involved crimes in the United States in 2024, and their stats confirm what Second Amendment advocates and those opposed to bans on so-called assault weapons have been saying for decades: they are rarely used in crimes of any kind in the United States. According to Pew, rifles of all kinds (including so-called assault weapons) were involved in just 3% of gun-related homicides in 2024. Handguns were involved in 53%, with “undetermined” firearms involved in 42% of homicides. The Supreme Court rejected the idea that handguns…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Oil Production In The Persian Gulf Has Fallen 57 Percent From Pre-War Levels – Rationing And Shortages Are Coming They aren’t telling you the truth about what is coming. Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens tomorrow, and there is no way that is going to happen, oil production will not return to pre-war levels for years. In other words, we are facing an extended global energy crisis no matter what happens now. Of course, if the fighting resumes and more oil and gas…
United States senator and war hawk, Lindsey Graham, has said that Israel is at the forefront of cutting-edge weapons development. He said that future wars are already “being planned in Israel,” as it surpasses the U.S.’s abilities. Israel is advancing down the road of new weaponry far beyond us,” he added. Graham added that Washington should invest in Israel’s defense industry rather than “just writing a check” for military aid.“ He made these comments in Tel Aviv after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday. “I like that idea. The wars of the future are…
A high school senior night in Rhode Island turned into chaos Monday when a gunman opened fire inside the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, killing two people and critically wounding three others before fatally shooting himself. According to on-scene coverage from WCVB, police say the suspect shot five people inside the rink. Two victims died, and three remain in critical condition. Players and families were bused to the Pawtucket Police Department for interviews as detectives began piecing together what happened. One woman leaving the police station identified the gunman as her father. “My father was a shooter… He shot my family.…
National Rifle Association members are navigating the conflict between the Association and NRA Foundation; the Friends of NRA Program is still on with funds going to other (c)(3)s. Earlier this year the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation. The NRA alleges that the Foundation is withholding crucial funds earmarked for NRA flagship programs. The NRA said that some programs — like ones benefiting law enforcement — were cut over 55 percent. NRA members and supporters have been worried about the state of the Friends of the NRA programs since this feud…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that most people would understand what was happening. But of course, that isn’t true at all. Even though we are literally right on the brink of an apocalyptic war with Iran, most of the population doesn’t seem too concerned. But they should be. The Iranian regime has already shown that it is willing to gun down tens of thousands of its own people. When it comes to securing the survival of their regime, there is no…
Gun registration is something almost every anti-gunner wants, and every gun rights advocate opposes. It’s not just that gun registration leads to confiscation; it’s that it’s absolutely ridiculous if the reason is to combat crime, which is how it’s always sold to the American people. Luckily, we don’t have gun registration, do we?Uh…yeah, about that.I’ve always said that the Form 4473 we fill out when we buy a gun is a kind of registration in and of itself. It’s an inefficient one, but still registration. The upside was that with face-to-face transfers, you weren’t locked…
Mikhail Gorbachev had been the leader of the Soviet Union for just 13 days when he was suddenly faced with an international crisis.On March 24, 1985, a Soviet sentry shot and killed U.S. Army Maj. Arthur D. “Nick” Nicholson Jr. near a tank storage building in Ludwigslust, East Germany. Nicholson was unarmed and in his uniform. His vehicle carried clearly marked plates identifying him as a member of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission, an organization authorized by both governments to operate in the other’s territory.The U.S. Department of War officially considers his death a murder. It also considers Nicholson the…
