The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on Tuesday announced a new clinical trial of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, more commonly known as MDMA, to evaluate the safety and efficacy when treating current and former military personnel for severe mental health disorders including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder. The latest announcement comes on the heels of a strong federal government-wide push across multiple branches to study and, ultimately, lawfully recognize different modalities like MDMA, psilocybin, LSD and ibogaine. Legislation has been crafted on bipartisan levels in both the U.S. House and Senate to accelerate the pace for which the VA,…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to intensify its attacks on Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has now been commanded to increase the strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon to deliver what Netanyahu has described as a “decisive blow” to the armed group. This order is problematic, as it came during the ongoing ceasefire between the Jewish state and the Lebanese government in Beirut. This ceasefire was agreed upon in mid-April after more than a month of fighting and was extended earlier in May. The escalation in obvious violation of the ceasefire could further complicate indirect talks…

As of May 2026, twenty-nine states have enacted Constitutional Carry.What about across the rest of the country? The movement has stalled, since red states with GOP trifectas have all gotten the job done. Constitutional Carry’s advance has paused since South Carolina finally approved the reform on March 7, 2024. Of course, we shouldn’t give a round of applause to the Palmetto State, since the long-lasting legacy of RINOs did everything they could to thwart meaningful, conservative turn rights reforms. But they did get the job done. Nothing has budged since. Republicans are facing progressive backlash…

Listen—the end of live-service support for Destiny 2 is frustrating, and there’s no denying that. We’re watching a game that, for many of us, occupied all or at least a significant portion of our last decade in gaming, so the aggravation is not only understandable, it’s entirely justifiable. However, regardless of how painful the inevitable end of Destiny 2 is, and despite how justified we are to feel this heartbroken over the situation, there’s really no excuse, nor is there reason, to spew hateful speech at Bungie, as if the studio is solely responsible. It’s easy to see all of…

It’s been a tough couple of years for Stellantis. The world’s fourth-largest automaker lost more than $26 billion in 2025 and this week revealed a $70 billion turnaround plan that will see it roll out at least 60 new vehicles by the end of the decade. The “Fastlane 2030” strategy could be good news for those who take it slower off-road. “Our brands are our strongest assets,” Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa told investors, analysts, and anyone else dialing into Thursday’s daylong presentation of the company’s new, $70 billion Fastlane 2030 turnaround plan. The fourth-largest automaker on the planet, Stellantis, comprises…

Violent crime has dropped faster than Leonardo DiCaprio dropping a girlfriend on her 25th birthday, but we all know we still have a long way to go before we approach anything anyone would find remotely acceptable. It’s something I tend to agree with anti-gunners on, even if we disagree on literally every proposed solution out there. In Mississippi, they’re doing something that may have some positive, long-term benefits, and that won’t create problems for law-abiding citizens who just want to exercise their Second Amendment rights.And I suspect it’ll work far better than those restrictions, too.…

It’s always sad to see a game like Destiny 2 come to an end. Through all its ups and downs, it remained a fun experience for many players who enjoyed the looter shooter genre. While it’s hard to replace what Destiny 2 offered, the good news is that there are still games out there that capture some of that same magic. You just need to know what your cup of tea was while playing Destiny 2, and go for the game that offers it. In this list, instead of focusing on quantity, I’ll highlight three games that share similarities with…

Hantavirus Outbreak Kills 3 On A Cruise Ship Countries Are Rushing To Track Hantavirus According to a report by NBC News, the patient’s positive case was detected during periodic testing of contacts of people associated with the outbreak. Following the positive test, the patient was transferred to…

As we’ve been reporting here at Bearing Arms, a growing number of prosecutors and sheriffs across Virginia are declaring they won’t be enforcing the state’s ban on “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines if the laws takes effect on July 1. In addition to legislation prohibiting the sale, manufacture, and transfer of these commonly-owned items, there’s also a law set to take effect that will ban the carrying of so-called assault firearms in most public spaces.  Several Commonwealth’s Attorneys and sheriffs, however, have said they believe the new laws are unconstitutional and have no plans…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran on Tuesday denounced U.S. strikes a day earlier as a sign of “bad faith and unreliability” as negotiations continue toward a possible deal to end the war. The U.S. military has characterized Monday’s strikes in southern Iran as defensive, saying targets included missile launch sites and boats placing mines, and said the U.S. acted with “restraint” in light of the weekslong ceasefire. Iran’s foreign ministry called the strikes a ceasefire violation and warned that Washington would bear responsibility for “all consequences,” without details. “The Islamic Republic of Iran will leave no act of…

Yosemite National Park is one of America’s most iconic landscapes, and millions of people visit each year to get their chance to explore this magical place. The popular park has always experienced crowds, but a timed entry system, which limited the number of people admitted into the park at any one time, helped mitigate the congestion. Then, in early 2026, the National Park Service (NPS) announced it was abandoning the reservation system, which had been in place since 2020. Memorial Day posed the first real test of how the park would fare without it, and after the busy holiday weekend,…

Not a day seems to go by on social media where someone in the US doesn’t get a lecture from a European about how our gun control laws, or lack thereof, are some kind of social rot and that we’re completely wrong for not following their lead. After all, those deaths from gunfire are preventable, right? How dare we not take those precautions as they did!Well, I’m sorry that I’m not tripping over myself to “prevent gun deaths” by making it harder to defend myself, while they have people dropping like flies because they can’t…
