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…
A humble World War II veteran who died more than 40 years ago is about to be awarded the nation’s highest honor.Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds of Knoxville, Tennessee, whose defiance of German captors in a prisoner of war camp saved the lives of almost 200 Jewish American troops during the war, is posthumously receiving the Medal of Honor. “We’re thrilled, we’re absolutely thrilled. We’ve been on this journey for 13 years; it’s been a long journey but a grateful journey,” Chris Edmonds, interim pastor of Oakwood Baptist Church in Knoxville and the son of Sgt. Edmonds, told Military.com.The Medal of Honor…

When I was 19, I enlisted in the Navy. A few weeks later, I’m in Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, and someone hands me a 1911. It’s chambered in .22, but it’s still a 1911, and not the M9 I expected. Still, the training evolution is simple. We take aim at a target following a safety briefing and commence firing. Again, I’m 19-years-old, and the United States government just handed me a handgun.That’s something that I couldn’t lawfully purchase at the time. It’s something that other 19-year-olds in many states can’t even carry, even if…
Even on the low end of estimates, hundreds of defensive gun uses take place across the country every day. The vast majority of the incident go unreported in the media, but here are three recent armed citizen stories that proved too compelling for local news outlets to ignore. The first comes from Limestone County, Alabama, where a homeowner confronted a heavily armed and oddly attired car burglar last Wednesday. The suspect was identified as Tanner Stewart Phillips, of Hartselle. According to authorities, Phillips allegedly broke into a car at the victim’s home. The homeowner confronted him,…
An agreement between the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and the State of New York paves the way for nonresidents to apply for firearm permits and legally carry in the Empire State. FPC filed the lawsuit Shaffer v. Quattrone in November 2024, arguing that people “do not surrender their Second Amendment-protected rights when they travel outside their home state.” “Now, as a result of the FPC lawsuit and the plaintiffs’ settlement with the State of New York, the State now expressly holds the position that in-state residency or employment is not required for licensure and clearly posted this confirmation on its…
This article was originally published by Marcos Giansante at The Mises Institute. In many emerging and tropical economies, the Austrian business cycle does not appear as a temporary deviation from equilibrium; it becomes a permanent condition. Chronic fiscal deficits, unstable legal frameworks, and recurring monetary expansion are not exceptional responses to extraordinary crises; they are structural features of the political order itself. As a result, the familiar cycle of artificial boom, malinvestment, and correction never fully resolves; it merely reshapes itself, extending its distortions across time. This persistent imbalance affects not only prices and production, but also the behavior of…
When our Founding Fathers felt their tea was being taxed unfairly, ostensibly to pay back the debt England incurred during the French & Indian War, they didn’t just sit around and do nothing. No, they boarded a cargo ship loaded with tea and tossed it in the harbor. They were so polite about the whole thing that, though they smashed open a lock securing the cargo, they brought a new lock to the ship the next morning. After that, “No taxation without representation” became a battle cry leading into the American Revolution.Since then, Americans have…
The Supreme Court will meet in conference this Friday, and among the cases scheduled for discussion are two that deal with bans on commonly owned ammunition magazines, as well as a three challenges to state and local bans on so-called assault weapons. If the Court once again turns away a challenge to these bans, or even keeps them in limbo for the rest of the term, millions more Americans could be subject to these prohibitions by the time the justices have the opportunity address the issue once again. At the moment, bans on so-called assault…
A Cleveland homeowner is lucky to be alive after opening his front door and walking straight into gunfire. According to reporting from 19 News, the shooting happened just after 1 a.m. Friday on Schiller Avenue in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. The homeowner, who asked that his last name not be used, said he heard noises coming from his driveway and believed someone was trying to steal a Kia parked outside. “I literally flew out of bed,” he told 19 News. His goal, he said, was simple: scare them off before they could take the vehicle. Instead, the moment he opened…
The 3D printer industry and the gun world have an overlap, but not necessarily an intentional one. A lot of people in the 3D printing world aren’t exactly into guns, and while there are many others who are, the truth is that these printers can be used by a lot of different people with a lot of different goals. That’s kind of what’s cool about them.But people like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, to say nothing of lawmakers in other anti-gun states, think that the government can force 3D printer manufacturers to include technology that will…
