When I was growing up in rural Texas, it wasn’t a question of whether you would eventually collide with a deer while driving. It was more like an inevitability. That’s evidently true for many Americans, who experience between 1 and 2 million crashes with large animals every year. But unlike my colleagues in Colorado and Montana, I’ve only had deer to worry about. They have to worry about an animal 10 times heavier: the moose. These 6-foot-tall giants can weigh up to 1,500 pounds and will absolutely destroy a vehicle in a head-on collision. They pose an even greater threat…
The Second Amendment remains the only right that basically ends at the border of the state where you live. Once you cross the state line, it’s up to politicians in the other 49 states (as well as U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) to decide if they’ll recognize your right to carry. President Donald Trump, however, wants to change that, as he made clear on Tuesday at a speech in Pennsylvania. JUST IN: President Trump reveals his administration is working on NATIONAL RIGHT TO CARRYThis would be an absolutely HUGE step towards bringing back the…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that six people have been arrested for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, as the iconic Washington, D.C. site increasingly becomes a flashpoint over the president’s $14-million-plus rehabilitation project gone awry. In a social media post, Trump claimed without supporting evidence that there had been a “350 foot gash” in the paint as the administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix the botched renovation before the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration next week. Trump said another seven people were cited for damaging the pool. “It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had…
Many preppers keep ready-to-eat foods, such as canned goods, protein bars, and dried fruits, for emergencies. But at some point, you will want a hot meal, especially if the emergency lasts more than a day or two. Without an electric stove or microwave, your options may feel limited to eating the same instant foods day after day. But there are ways to safely cook food without electricity, even in a small space. The key is knowing what you can cook, either indoors or outdoors. During several hurricanes in Houston, many families opted to use their barbecue grills outside, particularly to…
Being a fishing-crazed maniac with an absolute plethora of both fresh and saltwater equipment, keeping my gear locker organized has always been an uphill battle. Add in the challenge of packing for a weekend trip or even a quick afternoon outing, and my carefully curated storage endeavors often unravel, devolving into everything simply being thrown into the back of my Subaru. Plano’s GoNow Boxes have changed the way I keep all my fishing gear stored and ready to rock. For the first time in my life, I actually know where all my fishy odds and ends are safely stashed. Now…
New York has a lot of gun control laws on the books. They’ve created even more since the Bruen decision, which strikes me as more than a little ironic considering the text of that decision. Even before then, though, they had an issue with gun trafficking. See, no matter how much you try to restrict guns, some people will figure out a way to provide firearms to those who really, really want them. All you do with restrictions is make sure the only people getting them are people who do not view the law as…
Battlefield 6 spent the opening act of Season 3 making a very loud argument about scale. Railway to Golmud, the season’s first major map, reset expectations for the game’s largest environments as an enormous, vehicle-saturated reimagining of the beloved Battlefield 4 original, with more airspace and flanking routes for flavor. But Blastpoint, Season 3’s second update, arrived with the return of the Obliteration mode and Cairo Bazaar, Battlefield 6’s take on fan-favorite map Grand Bazaar from Battlefield 3, trading one sense of scale for a different focus — tight, infantry-focused shootouts across arms-length alleys. Yet as Battlefield 6 pivots to…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA major threat during emergencies that is rarely discussed is the possibility that our own brain can work against us. We’d like to think that we would react quickly if something didn’t feel right, but unfortunately, our brains are wired to discount anything that goes against our routine. This mental tendency is called “normalcy bias.” It can cause us to ignore early warning signs, freeze in our tracks, or, worse, wait until it’s too late to act. For urban dwellers, recognizing danger quickly is one thing we can control if we can train our…
We’ve spilled a lot of digital ink on the new gun control laws coming to Virginia, and not without reason. They’re egregious infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They’re awful. California, on the other hand, is where we’re used to seeing such egregious infringements. Yes, we’ve talked about them, but California could come out tomorrow and say they’re going to round up all of the guns in the state, and no one would be particularly shocked. They’d be outraged, yes, but not totally surprised.However, bad ideas from California are…
A bear attacked and injured two soldiers who were participating in a training exercise in a remote location at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Thursday, military and state wildlife officials said Friday, April 17.The U.S. Army 11th Airborne Division soldiers were hurt in the encounter with a brown bear while participating a “land navigation training event” at the base’s Arctic Valley training area, Lt. Col. Jo Nederhoed, a public affairs officer for the division, said in an email.The soldiers were “receiving appropriate medical care” as of late Friday morning, Nederhoed said. The military was withholding details about their condition pending notification…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. According to two U.S. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks, Axios’ Barak Ravid reports that the US and Iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war. The three-page memorandum of understanding (MOU) the two sides are negotiating over also includes a “voluntary” moratorium on nuclear enrichment by Iran. The U.S. demanded in the last round of talks that Iran agree to a 20-year moratorium. Iran countered with five years. The mediators are still trying to close the gap. As part of the MOU, Iran would be allowed to have…
The modern gun control movement in the United States has been around since the early 1960s, though it wasn’t until the Gun Control Act of 1968 was introduced in the wake of the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy that the movement coalesced and found its footing as a political force. But as a new book by historian Catherine Fletcher reminds us, for as long as firearms have been around there have been forces seeking to limit their availability and place them beyond the reach of the average citizen. Fletcher’s The…
I recently got some bad news from the owners of a well-established pro-gun website. They can no longer publish stories from the Second Amendment Foundation — or from any other pro-gun group, for that matter. The reason? Google. Their site now takes a “hit” from Google’s algorithm whenever it publishes non-original content, they told me. So from here on out, they can only run stories they’ve written themselves and that have never appeared anywhere else. The days of sharing SAF reporting — or reporting from any other Second Amendment outlet — appear to be over. At least for now. One…
Readiness is being strained as funding uncertainty, aging equipment and rising mission demands collide in the Pentagon’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget request, top Guard and Reserve leaders warned.Guard and Reserve leaders testified before the House Appropriations defense subcommittee on Friday, cautioning that rising mission demands, aging equipment and funding uncertainty are straining readiness across the force as their operational role expands.“We represent 20% of the joint force, yet we operate on less than 4% of the department’s budget,” Army Gen. Steven Nordhaus told lawmakers.Military.com reached out for comment to the Defense Department, Army, Air Force and National Guard Bureau, as…
The right of the people to keep and bear arms isn’t about hunting. It’s never been about hunting. It’s about defending this nation, both from foreign invaders and tyrannical governments, and it seems some people are starting to wake up to that fact. Most gun rights supporters have obviously known this and have said so many times.The problem is that many others on both sides of the fence like to roll their eyes at it. They’ll tell us that we can’t take on the government and win, even if that’s not entirely true.Well, at least,…
When the siren wails and the sky turns that bruised shade of green, not having a good option is not an option. Your greatest asset in that moment isn’t luck—it’s a plan. And the cornerstone of that plan is knowing exactly where you and your family will ride out the storm. For many, the idea of a “safe room” conjures images of expensive, contractor-built bunkers that cost as much as a new car. But safety shouldn’t be a luxury item. You can build a highly effective tornado safe room yourself on a standard budget, using materials you can find at…
