A 100% service-connected disabled veteran receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs said he pays nothing for his medical care, dental, vision or prescriptions. So when he got his Medicare Part B card in the mail, he had questions: Could he keep his VA benefits? Would Medicare cover prescriptions the VA doesn’t? What about dental?The roughly 300,000 veterans who turn 65 each year may share his confusion. With Medicare Part B premiums jumping to $202.90 per month in 2026, understanding what you actually need matters.Medicare and VA Don’t Work TogetherHere’s the most important thing to understand: Medicare and VA benefits…
I’ve long been a fan of the .22 Magnum round. I know some folks don’t see the point and are either just going to go .22 LR or jump up to a .223, but I like the middle ground that the .22 Magnum provides. It has more oomph and better bullet designs than a .22LR, a bit more range, and can be chambered in lightweight rimfire rifles. I’ve had an old Marlin 25m in .22 magnum for a couple of decades at least. It’s a good rifle, but pretty basic. I wanted the option to add a suppressor, and it…
We tend not to get too deep into the weeds on LGBT-based political stuff. I get annoyed by the politics of it, to be honest, and while I know people in all of those groups and count them as friends, the political entity that tends to try to speak for all of them tends to utter crap that I’d rather not hear. However, something I touched on earlier today was the trans gun ban that was proposed.In short, it was a terrible idea to even float, and I happen to think it did a lot…
Vice President JD Vance said that mass immigration to the United States is ruining the American Dream. Instead of blaming the horrific inflation and cost of living increases that are currently impoverishing millions of Americans, Vance is blaming those who want to immigrate and live under such an economically oppressive system. Vance has consistently complained that mass immigration is the cause of rising prices, and it is making housing unaffordable. “A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants,” he told Fox News last month.…

When Nebraska finally adopted its permitless carry law back in 2023 after a multi-year fight in the unicameral legislature, critics were quick to predict that the measure would make the state a more dangerous place. The mayors of Omaha and Lincoln, along with their appointed police chiefs, were among the loudest voices of opposition. Then-mayor Jean Stothert even signed an executive order that, among other restrictions, banned firearms on all city property as a response to the law, with Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird following suit soon afterwards. Nebraska’s Attorney General issued an advisory opinion…
Banks are closing branches at an astonishing rate. Banks in the United States have shuttered 439 branches in the third quarter alone, the S&P Global data show. That was up from 199 in the prior quarter. Accoridng to a report by American Banker, this also marked the highest quarterly level of net closings since the first quarter of 2022, when banks turned out the lights on 960 locations. The latest quarterly decline extended a 15-year trend. In 2009, there were nearly 100,000 branches in the U.S. But this trend isn’t necessarily an indication of anything being wrong. Some analysts say…
There’s no doubt about it: Many skiers and snowboarders and not happy with the soaring prices of even a daily lift ticket at most resorts. Viral videos like this one about $300 lift tickets reflect a growing frustration with the state of the ski industry. The video ends with the skier giving up and going home rather than paying an exorbitant price tag for a single day on the slopes. That’s the kind of dissatisfaction among non-wealthy skiers that Vail Resorts is evidently trying to target with a new initiative. The ski industry behemoth now says it will offer a…
The House Judiciary Committee in Florida recently approved a measure that would repeal the state’s ban on commercial gun sales to adults under the age of 21, and the full House could vote on the measure as early as January, when the 2026 session begins. Passage in the lower chamber is a near certainty, since the House has approved similar language in each of the past three sessions. The hang up has been the Florida Senate, where Republican leadership has refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. To the best of…
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.
