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…
Bills for the 2026 legislative session in Virginia can be pre-filed starting on Monday, November 17, and in the coming days we’re going to see dozens of pieces of anti-gun legislation introduced by Democrats in the House and Senate. Now that Democrats will soon have complete control of state government there is no check on their anti-2A impulses (save for their own political calculations), and the upcoming session is going to be an absolute nightmare for gun owners and Second Amendment supporters. What can we expect to see this week? It’s possible that Democrats will…
On October 17, 2025, the U.S. Army suspended Major Blaine McGraw, a gynecologist at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, after a patient accused him of secretly recording her during a gynecological exam.

How Hollywood Has Rewritten the American RevolutionFrom Silent-Era Myths to Prestige TV, Here’s How America’s Founding Conflict Has Been Portrayed on Screen“The big ideas of the Revolution aren’t diminished by telling the truth. They’re made stronger by it.” — Ken Burns. Soldiers take aim in D. W. Griffith’s America (1924), photo made available under the public domain. For over a century, filmmakers and television producers have tried to bring the American Revolution to life. But how accurate are these portrayals?

Dwight David Eisenhower was born on Oct. 14, 1890 in Denison, Texas 135-years ago. His family later relocated to Kansas. His path from a small-town in Kansas to Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II, and later President of the United States, remains one of the most unlikely stories in military history.The future five-star general never saw a single day of frontline combat during his 35 years in uniform. Yet he would command the largest amphibious invasion in history and lead the Allies to victory in Europe over the Axis.Although some would disagree, Eisenhower proved that it’s not combat…
We know Giffords doesn’t like people carrying guns at all. If they had their way, no state would allow concealed carry. At best, it would be a “may issue” thing, so their buddies in politics can carry a gun if they want to, but not the rest of us. After all, it’s clear that anti-gun groups are going to treat carrying a firearm as a problem no matter what happens. And Giffords is no different.On Thursday, they published something that makes the case that law enforcement doesn’t support national reciprocity and hasn’t for a very…
The term “mass shooting” is one popular phrase for describing a certain kind of incident, but another term often used is “active shooter incident.” And we’ve been hearing all about just how many such shootings there have been, with numbers muddied by overly broad definitions that include things that shouldn’t be included. That’s just for mass shootings, though. Gang shootings tend not to be lumped in with active shooter cases, and for good reason. They’re not remotely the same. And it seems such shootings decreased in 2022. Active shooter incidents in the United States in 2022 decreased, while the number…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian court issued a $312.9 million judgment against the United States over a 2017 Islamic State-claimed attack on Tehran, authorities said Wednesday, the latest judicial action between the nations amid their decadeslong enmity. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, in reporting the decision, offered no direct evidence to support the court’s allegation that American officials had any part in the June 2017 attack that killed at least 18 people and wounded 50 others. The assault saw gunmen attack Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum and the country’s parliament, starting an hourslong siege. However, the court ruling comes…
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. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…
