I’m a big fan of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Somali congresswoman who always speaks her mind. Of course, I’m not a fan because I like her politics. But I do like the fact that nearly every time she speaks out in public, it serves as a warning for freedom-loving Americans that a true threat exists within our own federal lawmaking body. Such was the case recently when Rep. Omar was caught on camera weighing in on a critical issue that many of us haven’t thought about for a while. In a video reposted on the Texas Gun Rights X…
If you’re a backpacker who doesn’t ski or snowboard, winter can be a tough time. You’re stuck inside, with the cold, icy weather keeping you from the trail. As a backpacker and climber who lives in the Midwest, come January, I’m almost too stir crazy to function. In a select few places, however, winter can actually be a backpacking paradise. ‘Tis the season to backpack through desert environments whose unbearably hot temps finally dip down into the “normal” range.

Over the past week, there have been a number of shootings that made some headlines. From National Guard soldiers shot in D.C. to a shooting in Stockton, California, we all know the stories. And they’re all awful. There are a lot of questions left to be answered in all of them, and there were even more shootings that many of us missed.One student publication at the University of California-Davis has a problem with this, which is understandable, but they also miss a few things while…lamenting them.As many families gathered and enjoyed the Thanksgiving weekend, too…
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is following through on President Donald Trump’s directive to strengthen national security by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence through the recently approved Genesis Mission. Not all Americans are openly embracing rapid AI implementation.The Genesis Mission, launched Nov. 24 through executive order, is another step in the administration’s broader push for U.S. global technology dominance predicated on aggressively pushing scientific discovery and economic growth via AI‑accelerated innovation. The Trump administration said the urgency will “require a historic national effort, comparable in urgency and ambition to the Manhattan Project” that produced the world’s first nuclear weapons during…
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Several US states have implemented or are developing Cap-and-Invest programs, including California, Washington State, and New York State. Climate change catastrophists will say that these programmes are to save the planet from global warming. But as with all things related to the climate change agenda, it has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with money and control. Carbon taxes and cap-and-invest systems have much in common. Both are market-based policies to make “carbon emitters” pay for their “emissions.” Using climate change jargon, Cap-and-Invest is a tool designed…
Despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, it remains relatively easy to illegally acquire and use a firearm in California. So easy, in fact, that a juvenile who was already busted for illegally having a gun once before was allegedly able to get his hands on another and use it to shoot three people at a San Jose mall on Black Friday. Prosecutors in Santa Clara County (where it costs residents about $2,000 to obtain a two-year concealed carry permit) have charged a 17-year-old with three counts of attempted murder…
Between 1942 and 1945, nearly 8,000 American warplanes traveled through Alaska on their way to the Soviet Union as part of a critical supply line that helped defeat Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front. The Alaska-Siberia air route, known as ALSIB, connected Montana to Siberia through some of the most challenging flying conditions in the world to provide the Soviets with vital Lend-Lease aid.

United States ruler President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants to come to the U.S. He urged them to go back to the East African nation, “which is barely a country,” and “fix it,” while he simultaneously referred to them as “garbage.” Trump slammed Somali and Democratic lawmaker Ilhan Omar, claiming they “contribute nothing.” His insults then extended beyond Omar to include all of the people of Somalia. Somalia has been plagued by instability and terrorism for decades, driven by the al-Qaeda-affiliated group Al-Shabaab and other militants. Many Somalis emigrated to the US in the 1990s during the country’s…

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.

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
