Iran has formally requested that the United Nations hold the United States accountable for Israel’s bombing campaign. This request came after a November 6th comment by ruler Donald Trump, in which he admitted he was “very much in charge” of Israel’s attack, which was not retaliatory in nature. Trump openly acknowledged directing Israel’s initial attack on Iran. “Israel attacked first. That attack was very, very powerful. I was very much in charge of that,” Trump told reporters on November 6th. The attack Trump was referring to killed over 1,000 people, including civilians. Since the president admitted that he was “very…
When you’re deep in the wilderness, knowing how to preserve meat can mean the difference between feast and famine. And one of the oldest and most reliable methods for doing this is making jerky. Whether you’re a hunter, backpacker, homesteader, or simply preparing for a grid-down scenario, the ability to turn fresh meat into long-lasting jerky is a survival skill worth knowing.In warm, dry weather, the process is surprisingly simple; there are no special tools or ingredients required. But in cool or damp conditions, you’ll need to get a bit more creative, possibly building a primitive smoker to get the…
If I ask you to name a city you associate with gang activity, you might say New York or Chicago. If you’re Gen X or older, you’ll probably say Los Angeles, because that was the gang-banging hub of America in the 1990s. One place you’re unlikely to mention is Iowa.In fact, when I think of Iowa, I think of corn fields, caucuses, wrestlers, and The Fat Electrician on YouTube. I don’t think of gangs, but these two guys make some of the LA guys back in the day look like choirboys.Two Iowa men were sentenced…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. At the moment, the Zelensky government is suffering embarrassment and under a global spotlight for a wide-ranging corruption case related to the country’s struggling state energy sector. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has issued some unusually strong words directed at Ukrainian leadership. In televised remarks Thursday, he revealed that he personally urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to get serious about curbing the flow of young Ukrainian men to Germany, as they need to serve in the defense of their own homeland. Merz disclosed some of the contents of his latest call.…
The Supreme Court’s new term has been dominated by high-profile battles over presidential authority. But beneath those headline cases sits another trend that TTAG readers will care about a lot more: the justices are lining up a series of gun-rights fights that could reshape how lower courts handle the Second Amendment after Bruen. We’re only a few months into the 2025–26 session, and the court has already taken two major gun cases. Several more are waiting in the wings. If the justices keep granting petitions at this pace, this term may become one of the most significant for gun rights…
This article was originally published by Vincent Cook at The Mises Institute. Back in late June when the Senate signed off on President Trump’s legislation to alter federal spending priorities while keeping deficits stuck in the multi-trillion dollar (teradollar) range—The One Bloated Brobdingnian Bill (BBB)—the heroic Rand Paul was the only budget hawk to vote against it in opposition to deficit spending (in contrast to Democrats and a few centrist Republicans, who rejected the BBB’s shift in spending priorities away from Medicaid). Four other Senatorial budget hawks—Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Cynthia Lummis—flipped their votes to “yes” after slightly greater Medicaid cuts…

The Department of Veterans Affairs will have a full-time benefits chief for the first time in two years after the Senate confirmed President Joe Biden’s pick for the job. In a Wednesday afternoon vote of 74-25, the Senate approved Joshua Jacobs to take the role of the VA’s under secretary for benefits.

There are very strict laws on the exportation of guns to other countries. You can’t just buy a firearm, put it in a box, and shipping to someplace like Haiti. Even if you buy the gun in a lawful manner, you just can’t do that without jumping through a ton of hoops. However, it seems that Business Insider–a publication that doesn’t seem to talk all that much about business these days–just discovered that criminals break the law when it comes to guns. Loose gun regulations in the United States have turned the country into a gold mine for weapons traffickers,…
Russia’s ground forces have been damaged by the war in Ukraine, but many other elements of its military have remained unscathed, the general in charge of U.S. forces in Europe said Wednesday. In particular, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, the head of U.S. European Command, pointed to Russia’s submarine force, which he said has been exceptionally active in the Atlantic Ocean in recent years despite that country’s struggles in Ukraine. “Much of the Russian military has not been affected negatively by this conflict. One of those forces is their undersea forces,” Cavoli said at a House Armed Services Committee hearing in response…
The NRA convention is not only a great opportunity for Gun Nation to ogle, fondle, and shop acres of firearms and related gear, it’s also a happy hunting ground for photographers looking to get lots of great photos of people of all ages who are doing those things. As you might imagine, lots of those photos are later used by the corporate media and others to illustrate their stories about crime, mass shootings, the allegedly deplorable easy access Americans have to firearms, yadda, yadda, yadda. One of the photos taken in Indianapolis by Reuters’ Evelyn Hockstein has resulted in enough…
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the United States is facing an “economic catastrophe” if the ruling class waits “until the last minute” to raise the debt ceiling. A default on the nation’s debt would be “disastrous,” according to Yellen. During a meeting with business executives from California on Tuesday, Yellen warned that a default would result in job losses and push household payments on mortgages and credit cards higher. The Treasury secretary insisted it was a “basic responsibility” of Congress to increase or suspend the $31.4 trillion borrowing cap. “A default on our debt would produce an economic and financial…
The last time FASTER Colorado’s founder Laura Carno joined us on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co it was shortly after the shootings at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, and Carno told us that the horrific incident had prompted a number of school districts around the state to reach out and learn more about their training for armed school staff. On today’s program, Carno tells Bearing Arms that the recent shootings at Covenant School in Nashville has resulted in an even larger surge in demand for FASTER Colorado’s services, with about three times as many districts reaching out over the past…
By Larry Keane Michigan lawmakers – including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer – are toying with the idea of turning state courtrooms into political arenas for gun control instead of forcing criminals to stand before judges for their crimes. State legislators are considering introducing a bill that would allow victim families to sue firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers for the heinous crimes committed by criminals. Let’s say that again so it is clear. Michigan’s legislators want to allow lawsuits against the firearm industry for crimes they didn’t commit. There’s no talk about dragging murderers, thugs, gang members and other criminals into courts to face a judge…
WASHINGTON — The remains of a U.S. Army corporal killed during the Korean War have been identified 73 years after he was declared missing and was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery, U.S. and South Korean officials said Wednesday. Luther H. Story of Buena Vista, Georgia, was posthumously awarded the nation’s highest military award for his actions during an intense attack by the North Korean army on Sept. 1, 1950. U.S. officials said that Story “fearlessly stood in the middle of the road, throwing grenades into the truck. Out of grenades, he crawled to his squad, gathered up additional…

Southern Baptists have long been held to be among the most politically conservative Christians in the nation. While many religious denominations seem to be rolling left, it looked like Southern Baptists weren’t interested in doing the same. And yet, it now seems that the head of a commission within the organization and other Baptist leaders have come out in favor of gun control. The head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and 12 other Baptist leaders and pastors in Tennessee have urged state lawmakers to take action to help prevent further gun violence after last month’s…

WASHINGTON — Presidents Joe Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday will sign an agreement that includes plans to have U.S. nuclear-armed submarines dock in South Korea for the first time in more than 40 years, a conspicuous show of support to Seoul amid growing concern about nuclear threats by North Korea, according to senior Biden administration officials. The planned dock visits are a key element of what’s being dubbed the “Washington Declaration,” aimed at deterring North Korea from carrying out an attack on its neighbor. It is being unveiled as Biden is hosting Yoon for a state visit during…
