In a 13-3 decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed an Everytown for Gun Safety-backed lawsuit that challenged the Texas law regulating carriage of firearms on private property open to the public. The statute allows private property owners to ban firearms from their premises if they choose, but the property owner is required to give “effective” notice that entry with a handgun is forbidden. That can be accomplished both in writing with language and posting requirements specified by the state, or through oral communication as well. The plaintiffs in this case were a Unitarian…
The Coast Guard recently rescued a 9-year-old child after dogs attacked him on a beach in the Bahamas. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement that authorities took the unnamed child to a local hospital after several dogs attacked him and left injuries across numerous parts of his body at around 10 a.m. July 28 while he was playing on the beach. The police said that the Coast Guard then transported the child to the U.S. in an emergency evacuation with his father, after medics in the Bahamas said his condition was potentially life-threatening. “This case reflects the…
The gun control lobby is hoping to derail a rule proposed by the ATF that would allow for non-over-the-counter sales of firearms, and they’re enlisting the help of anti-gun politicians. On Thursday we covered New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s announcement that she’ll be introducing legislation requiring gun sales to be conducted in person, which would negate the ATF’s proposed rule, at least in the Empire State. Hochul’s not the only elected official taking aim at the rule, though. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have released a letter to ATF Director Robert Cekada calling on…
The Department of Veterans Affairs approved $1.2 billion in facility infrastructure improvements during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, the agency announced July 20, bringing total obligated spending from its record $4.8 billion, nonrecurring maintenance budget to $2.3 billion for the year so far. The fiscal 2026 non-recurring maintenance, or NRM, budget is the largest in the VA’s history. The funds go toward significant maintenance, replacements and upgrades at VA medical facilities nationwide, intended to maintain and improve both operational capability and health care delivery. Where the Money Is Going Of the $1.2 billion approved in the third quarter,…

Buying and leasing both have their advantages, but the cheaper option depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how much you drive, and whether you’re expecting a PCS, deployment, or other life changes. Before you sign on the dotted line, here’s what military families should consider. How Does Leasing Work? Leasing a vehicle is similar to renting it as you pay a monthly fee for the ability to use the car for a certain amount of time, which is typically two to three years. During that time, your lease agreement will dictate how you can use the…
Tragic news has come from the 12th-highest mountain in the world. An avalanche swept down Pakistan’s Broad Peak just as a large climbing group was on its way to the summit. At least 10 people were hit by the avalanche, including Nirmal “Nims” Purja, a well-known mountaineer who was leading an Elite Exped team. At least two climbers died in the avalanche, according to the Alpine Club of Pakistan. The rest remain unaccounted for. However, several news outlets, including the BBC, have reported that four climbers from the team were already confirmed dead. Details about the status of remaining climbers…
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 310,000 vehicles, including many of its most popular models. In an impressive cascade of failures, a problem with the door locks could lead to the vehicle rolling away. Yes, that seems like a stretch, but it can happen. A door that can’t tell if it’s open or closed can lead to some other problems, too, that are less about safety and more about convenience. Corrosion In A Switch Can Lead To Problems Credit: Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz says that in 2021 it started receiving reports of complaints that radios and lights would stay on after drivers got out of the…
When Montgomery County, Maryland recently amended its concealed carry laws to comply with a state Supreme Court decision, the county left in place some “sensitive areas” that are legally dubious, at least from a Second Amendment perspective. The county bans lawful carry within 100 yards of a “public assembly”, which includes parks, places of worship, schools, libraries, courthouses, legislative assemblies, recreational facilities, multipurpose exhibition facilities, and polling places. Though the state Supreme Court says that ban doesn’t conflict with Maryland’s constitution, a rabbi in Montgomery County has filed a lawsuit arguing the prohibition violates his right…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has officially been announced, and according to some recent comments made by Infinity Ward, it’s going to feature the biggest campaign in Modern Warfare history.

For a place that’s supposedly “gun-free”, police sure do discover a lot of guns being carried in the Chicago Transit Authority system. A federal judge in Chicago recently accepted a plea deal offered by prosecutors to a 10-time felon who was caught with a gun on a Blue Line train last July, and despite Gerald Pittman’s lengthy criminal history he walked away with a sentence that’s less than 1/3rd the maximum penalty. Pittman was supposed to be under court supervision after a previous guilty plea involving drug trafficking, but he had stopped complying with the…
A Russian drone struck a residential apartment building in eastern Romania near the Ukrainian border, injuring two civilians and intensifying concerns that Moscow’s war against Ukraine is increasingly spilling into NATO territory. The drone entered Romanian airspace on May 29 during a large-scale Russian attack against targets in neighboring Ukraine before crashing into a residential building in the city of Galați. Two civilians were injured and a fire broke out after the impact, according to Romanian officials and multiple international news reports. The strike marked one of the most serious known incidents involving a Russian drone impacting a populated civilian…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand that Islamabad normalize relations with Israel, saying the move contradicts the country’s fundamental ideologies. Asif stated in an interview with Samaa TV that Pakistan does not recognize Israel, according to multiple reports. [1] The rejection follows Trump’s call for Muslim nations to sign the Abraham Accords as a condition for any Iran deal. [2] Pakistan’s Longstanding Position on Israel Asif reiterated that Pakistan’s stance remains unchanged despite pressure from Washington. Pakistan historically links recognition of Israel to the establishment of…
Anytime something goes awry, it’s a good idea to do something of an after-action report. What worked, what didn’t, and why did everything fall apart? It’s a good idea to do it after successes, too, but it’s especially important after failures. However, you’ve got to be brutally honest while doing so, otherwise you end up with the fecal spewing that was the DNC’s post-2024 autopsy. In Minnesota, the anti-gun push that was supposed to change the entire landscape of guns in the state failed miserably, and in looking at it, it would be easy to…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States said Monday that it bombed radar and drone sites in Iran after Tehran shot down an American drone over the weekend. Iran then said it launched a strike of its own, and Kuwait reported incoming fire. The nominal ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. has been repeatedly tested with such back-and-forth attacks, even as officials from both countries try to negotiate an end to the war. It’s not clear how close they are to a deal — and there is always the risk that an attack could derail those talks. In…
