The International Monetary Fund (IMF), a global financial institution and a specialized agency of the United Nations, has warned the world that the debt is reaching unsustainable levels. This is a “sobering reality,” but not too much of a surprise considering the globe’s financial system is built on debt. Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF chief, warned on Wednesday that global public debt will exceed the size of the world economy within five years, calling the trend a “sobering reality” for policymakers worldwide. The United States is also facing a harsh reality as it approaches $38 trillion in debt. Washington is running…
When the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 handed down its ruling in the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, everything changed on how cases involving the Second Amendment are adjudicated. In a nutshell, the ruling upheld the right of Americans to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense. However, it also set a new standard for how Second Amendment cases are to be considered. Under the new standard, courts must ask whether the “Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct?” If the answer is yes, it next must ask whether there exists a…
Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and two citizens secured an injunction concerning carry at post offices. The United States Postal Service gave Bearing Arms their comment on the ruling. Previously reported on September 30, 2025, FPC, SAF, et.al. received a favorable ruling in Firearms Policy Coalition Inc, et.al. v. Bondi. The case challenged the federal law that made post offices and their property so-called “sensitive locations.” Federal District Court Judge Reed O’Connor wrote that the law “is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment” and enjoined the government from enforcing the prohibition against plaintiffs. There have…

The state of New Jersey is one of several that decided to take a mile instead of the inch that the Supreme Court gave them with its discussion of “sensitive places.” The basic idea of such places is that there are a handful of locations that are so sensitive that the Second Amendment doesn’t cover, such as jails, courthouses, etc.The problem is that some states decided to create so many “sensitive places” that it’s virtually impossible to carry a firearm anywhere in the state, and yes, one of those is New Jersey.As the Court didn’t…

The U.S. Army is betting big on artificial intelligence and data to reshape how intelligence is gathered, analyzed, and delivered to commanders. The goal is simple: make faster, smarter decisions in an era where wars are fought not just with weapons, but with information.Unlike past modernization pushes, this effort is about weaving AI into every layer of Army operations, from headquarters planning to frontline decisions. For soldiers in the intel community, it means their work is changing fast.Data Overload Meets AI SolutionsArmy leaders know the problem: intelligence analysts are drowning in information. From satellites, drones, and cyber feeds, there’s more data…
National Guard troops have been deployed to Portland, Oregon, in defiance of a federal judge’s court order. Donald Trump has been creating standing armies in towns across the United States, even though the militarization of law enforcement is a violation of the Constitution. Militarization of the police forces has been increasing, and has been shoved into overdrive lately. A Gift America Can’t Return: The Police State Is America’s New Crime Boss Locals rejected Trump’s portrayal of Portland as a “warzone,” sharing images of peaceful daily life (farmers markets, cafes) and dismissing protests as small-scale, non-threatening demonstrations. Nonetheless, the Department of…
Blasted with gusts of cold air and early April snow, we stared in awe as the glacier ski plane taxied down the Ruth Gorge and took off. Suddenly, we were alone. Thankfully, we found comfort knowing that within the 5 weeks of supplies we had with us, we brought an Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone to keep in touch with family and friends. Cell service shouldn’t be relied on in destinations such as the Alaska Range. With rapidly changing weather known to bring storms that pin you down, it is critical to have a reliable way to communicate. There are a few…
“If we ban assault weapons, mass shootings won’t be nearly the problem they are today.”How many times have you heard something like that over the years? I’ve personally lost track of how often someone spews such nonsense and I suspect many of you have as well. The argument that somehow an AR-15 is the root of all of our problems has always been ridiculous, especially since so many high-profile mass killings have involved guns that weren’t so-called assault weapons.However, since some people seem to have short memories, maybe the recent arrest of a guy outside…
While it is far from being an overwhelming lead, a recent national survey revealed that more Americans agree with Republicans’ hands-off policies in dealing with gun control than Democrats’ restrictive proposals for more gun laws. The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed Americans on a number of different matters, among them being gun policy and differences between parties when it comes to battling the country’s violent crime problem. When asked the question: “Which party has a better plan on gun control?” Some 32% of respondents answered Republicans, while 28% answered Democrats. In essence, the question is basically asking Americans whether they approve of…
Five years ago, Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, Louisiana Shooting Association, and several individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit challenging the federal ban on handgun sales to adults between the ages of 18 and 20. In late 2022, U.S. District Judge Robert R. Summerhays dismissed the complaint, ruling that young adults have no Second Amendment right to purchase the most common firearm for self-defense, but that decision was overturned by a panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in January of this year. Since then, the plaintiffs and the DOJ have been arguing over…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Several significant developments this week have paved the way for more likely US military escalation off the coast of and in Venezuela, at a moment of unprecedented numbers of Pentagon assets parked in the Caribbean. First, President Trump has called off diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, The New York Times reported Monday. The president called his special envoy, Richard Grenell, who had been leading the efforts to negotiate with Maduro, informing him that the US was halting all diplomatic outreach with the Venezuelan government.

The city of Baltimore has a lot of history, but the more recent history involved a whole lot of violent crime. It was one of the most crime-ridden cities in the nation, per capita, and it’s no surprise that anti-gun politicians in Maryland used that crime to push for gun control. It’s kind of what they do.However, Baltimore is doing something kind of radical that doesn’t involve gun control, and it seems to be paying dividends.They’re arresting people for breaking the law.The top prosecutor for Baltimore, Maryland, seems to have uncovered a key aspect of…
