A convicted felon who now runs a program in Shelby County, Tennessee designed to help newly released offenders stay on the straight and narrow is suing to regain his right to keep and bear arms; the latest in a series of legal challenges over the federal prohibition on felons possessing guns and ammunition. It’s been more than 20 years since DeAndre Brown pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to financially defraud a Memphis bank, and though Brown had several run-ins with the law before that 2003 incident, he’s stayed out of trouble since he…
Mitsubishi is giving both versions of its Outlander some big upgrades for 2026. Just a year after getting a complete makeover, the gas Mitsubishi Outlander gets a new engine. The Outlander PHEV picks up the cabin upgrades the standard model received last year. It also adds a new, larger battery pack that will give the three-row SUV more electric range. New Engine for 2026 Outlander Gas The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander’s new engine is a 1.5L turbo-four that it says is based on the one in the Eclipse Cross. It will have a mild hybrid system for some extra off-the-line torque,…
In the wake of a mass shooting, what do we always hear? Universally, there’s going to be calls for gun control. The usual suspects will say we need things like universal background checks, red flag laws, assault weapon bans, and a host of other measures. It happens every time, sometimes starting while the bullets are still flying, and we on this side of the debate are forced to argue against it almost immediately as well. But in Texas, there wasn’t a mass shooting.Texas has none of those laws, and yet, a 17-year-old was planning just such…
A group of senators says they have “profound alarm” and are demanding answers over the unprecedented decision by the government’s consumer watchdog to drop its case against Navy Federal Credit Union for charging its members — almost exclusively service members, veterans and their families — millions in illegal overdraft fees.”This decision appears to prioritize financial institutions over the very service members the bureau is charged with protecting,” the five Democratic senators wrote in a letter, provided exclusively to Military.com, to the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Russ Vought.In November, the CFPB announced that Navy Federal had “illegally harvested…
For the second day, Israel has conducted strikes on a Syrian city, vowing to protect the Druze minority. The Druze minority is an ethnoreligious group with origins tracing back to a 10th-century offshoot of Ismailism, a branch of Shiite Islam. Israel Threatens New Syrian Regime Forces With Fire The upsurge in violence underlines the challenges facing interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who has struggled to assert control over the area near the Israeli border since toppling Bashar al-Assad in December. According to a report by Reuters, Israel, which has struck Syria several times in the name of protecting the Druze, carried out its…
Many years ago, during a high-angle rescue course, I was introduced to the KISS principle: “Keep It Simple, Stupid.” The idea is that systems tend to function best when they’re kept simple rather than made unnecessarily complex. It’s a design philosophy rooted in practicality, and it applies surprisingly well to gear. The REI Co-op Trailmade Pants ($70) are a great example of simplicity done right. They don’t have many flashy features, but they do exactly what a solid hiking pant should: fit well, hold up to wear, and stay comfortable in motion. For this reason, the REI Co-op Trailmade pants…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation.
