The U.S. Coast Guard has reportedly seized the sailboat at the center of a Bahamas mystery after a Michigan woman vanished more than a month ago. The boat, named “Soulmate,” had been docked in the Bahamas since a Michigan woman, Lynette Hooker, disappeared April 4 near Hope Town and Elbow Cay, ABC News reported Monday, citing sources familiar with the investigation. CBS News reported the vessel left Marsh Harbour on Friday and was taken into custody by the Coast Guard on Saturday while it was headed toward the U.S., marking a sharp turn in a case that has moved from…
I’m a firm believer in you being able to do with your property as you wish, so long as you don’t harm anyone else. If you want to paint your house puke green and mount peacocks on your roof gables, so be it. I’m not interested in stopping you, though I might try to talk you out of it. So, if someone wants to take gun parts and turn them into gardening tools, whatever. In fact, part of me would actually buy some of those, just so I can talk about what my hoe had…
Performance cars come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes. From 1,000+ horsepower hypercars like the Bugatti Chiron to sensible sports sedans like the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, there is something for every budget or pace desire. One of the most versatile and affordable breeds of performance machine is the venerable hot hatch, which tends to take the shape of a front-wheel-drive compact hatchback-style vehicle equipped with a sporty four-pot engine and uprated underpinnings. Some machines though, like the Audi RS3 and Ford Focus RS, take things a step further, and utilize all-wheel drive to enhance traction and stability.…
There are currently seven candidates vying the GOP nod in the crowded Maine gubernatorial primaries. Bearing Arms had a chance to interview four of them and Bobby Charles was one. Charles has a background in government and policy that dates back to the Reagan era when he interned from 1981 to 1983 at the White House. Born in Virginia but raised in Wayne, Maine, Charles got his undergrad in Dartmouth College, masters in New College, Oxford, and Juris Doctor from Columbia University. After clerking at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the late 80s,…
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Venezuela ’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez told journalists Monday that her country had no plans to become the 51st U.S. state after President Donald Trump said he was “seriously considering” the move. Rodríguez was speaking at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the final day of hearings in a dispute between her country and neighboring Guyana over the massive mineral- and oil-rich Essequibo region. “We will continue to defend our integrity, our sovereignty, our independence, our history,” said Rodríguez, who assumed power in January following a U.S. military operation that ousted then-President…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi during a telephone call on Tuesday, May 5, that Tehran is prepared to meet global standards to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, according to a statement from Iran’s presidency published by the Turkish Anadolu Agency. Pezeshkian criticized what he called contradictory U.S. policies, saying Washington continues to apply pressure while calling for negotiations. [1] Al-Zaidi responded that Baghdad is prepared to support de-escalation efforts and could host talks between Iran and the U.S., the statement said. The appeal…
The best thing that can happen to gun control laws is that they just die in the legislature. While anti-gunners obviously disagree, the reality is that any lawmaker can introduce any bit of insanity they want, and if they can convince enough of their colleagues that it’s a good idea, it becomes a law that has to then be challenged in court, taking years to be eventually tossed, and creating headaches for everyone impacted. In Hawaii, a notoriously anti-gun state, a number of bills just met the only noble end for them as the legislature…
Video game pricing has become more and more relevant as time has gone on, as it seems like every other year, the dollar value of big-budget releases creeps up another few digits. Gaming can be a costly investment in a lot of cases, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of amazing games out there that players can pick up, just by skipping their morning coffee. Hovering under the $5 range, and even cheaper during sales, these games deliver a range of different experiences, some story-related, others more looping in nature, to give players the most bang for their buck.…
After an outbreak of hantavirus killed three people on a cruise ship in recent weeks, Google searches for the disease have increased by more than 1,000% in some states. In general, the virus is rare and difficult to contract for most people. But that didn’t stop the disease from spreading to as many as 17 American passengers aboard the cruise ship. They arrived back in the U.S. on Monday, and will now be monitored at the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. However, backpackers — and anybody who spends time in wooded areas — are actually at a…
The firearm industry trade association is calling so-called “mainstream” media onto the carpet for hiding the number of common semi-automatic rifles owned by lawful American citizens in order to help bolster legislative proposals to ban such firearms. In a news story published on its website, the National Shooting Sports Federation (NSSF) focused on the current proposed ban in the Virginia legislature, highlighting coverage by WHSV 3 News, which reported: “If passed, the proposal would prohibit the manufacture, sale, import, purchase and transfer of many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns that meet its newly expanded definition of ‘assault firearms.’ This definition…

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard the combined Koons and Seigel cases en banc on Feb. 11, and I was in the courtroom to watch the oral arguments in person. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys may have bested the state, leaving interveners with crossed fingers. As previously reported, the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals reheard the consolidated Koons and Seigel cases via an en banc review. The arguments went just over an hour and while the bellwethers on which way the judges will decide are unknown, if you’re counting points on every glove laid, liberty will…
According to a peer-reviewed study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), children who received the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” have a much higher risk of a febrile seizure within a day of vaccination. Among children aged 2 to 4, the risk was approximately 2.5 times higher, according to the report published on February 4th in Vaccine. Flu Vaccines Are Neither Safe Nor Effective Febrile seizures are convulsions most often caused by fevers that are triggered by infections related to common childhood illnesses. These seizures typically occur in children 6 months to 5 years old, and when they have a…
New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. For years, I hoped to retire to either there or Arizona and just soak up the beauty. I didn’t even realize how much I’d love the area until I visited. But now, I wouldn’t live there for all the money in the world.After all, who would want to live in a state that elected a governor who thought she could just suspend the Second Amendment in a city, basically? That was smacked down, thankfully, but that doesn’t mean lawmakers there aren’t…
What state is the most hostile to our Second Amendment rights? There are several states in the running, but I might have to give the nod to Hawaii. In his latest legal filing, attorney Alan Beck notes that Hawaii County alone has settled seven lawsuits that challenge various gun control laws since the Bruen decision came down 3 1/2 years ago. Number eight may be on the horizon. Beck, who’s also taking on Hawaii’s ‘vampire rule” in Wolford v. Lopez, is once again suing the county; this time for taking longer than forty days to process…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Optimism About The Future Plunges To An All-Time Record Low, And Credit Card Debt Soars To An All-Time Record High As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead. Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost-of-living crisis for almost this…
President Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the World Health Organization. Considering what a trainwreck WHO was during the COVID fiasco, I can’t say that I blame him, though a lot of others heavily criticized the move. WHO doesn’t acknowledge the United States’ ability to leave the organization, but since there’s not a lot they can do about anything, I’m not losing sleep over it. Yet if Trump hadn’t pulled us out of the WHO, it might be a fine time to consider it, at least if the organization listens to a…
