The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division (and its Second Amendment Section) have filed a brand new lawsuit against the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department over D.C.’s ban on so-called assault weapons, asserting that the prohibition runs afoul of the right to keep and bear arms. The DOJ has previously argued against Illinois’ ban on a vast swath of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and even some pistols; participating in oral arguments before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year. Today’s lawsuit, however, is the first time that the DOJ has filed a complaint…
Joseph Henry Suina grew up in a Native American community in the 1940s, buried by his own people’s trauma while not yet realizing the baggage he carried.Suina, 81, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who was born in 1944 and served two tours in Vietnam. He grew up in the federally recognized pueblo of Cochiti, in New Mexico, son of a father who was a World War II veteran. The “simple” way of life entrenched in the community nuzzled between Albuquerque and Santa Fe shaped his entire life—and still does.“Growing up here on the reservation back in the ‘50s, things were…
United States President JD Vance is warning that Western Europe is “Islamist-aligned.” Vance is a prominent Christian nationalist who is now fear-mongering over Europe’s immigration policies. Vance accused Europe of currently lacking a sense of national identity and warned that it could risk losing cultural links to America due to their immigration policies. JD Vance Doubles Down On Christian Nationalism “If they allow themselves to be overwhelmed with very destructive moral ideas, then you allow nuclear weapons to fall in the hands of people who can actually cause very, very serious harm to the United States,” Vance said. Vance added that…
Every ski season has a low-tide phase. Sometimes it’s those first few weeks; sometimes it’s a dry spell or a high-pressure system that just won’t pass. The snow gets hard, the rocks emerge. I’m left feeling lost — mid-width freeride skis or narrow carving skis? The former lackluster on the pistes, the latter downright sketchy in the steeps. I snapped into a pair of the ’25/’26 Volkl Revolt 101s last season and pointed them — perhaps recklessly — at the nastiest terrain the “meh” start to the season could muster. A firm edge, generous rockers, and a stiff character opened…
I’ve long argued that none of the “compromises” we’ve made historically on gun rights were ever compromises. They always boil down to the anti-gun side just taking a little less than they originally wanted. We’ve gotten nothing out of the deal beyond losing our rights, just maybe not as many as the other side originally intended…at least for the time being. They always come back for everything else.But we live now in turbulent times where bad things are happening far too often, including politically-motivated attacks such as the assassination of Charlie Kirk, attacks on ICE…

Last week brought headline-grabbing news that had a lot of people celebrating. And a lot of gun owners scratching their heads. President Donald Trump signed an executive order reclassifying cannabis from a Schedule I controlled substance to Schedule III, a move that opens the door to expanded medical research and signals a shift in federal drug policy. But if you’re a gun owner, or hoping to become one, William Kirk, president of Washington Gun Law, says the short answer is simple: This changes nothing for firearms possession. In a recent breakdown, Kirk explains that while cannabis has been reclassified, it…
Federal law enforcement officials said they now have “more tools” to pursue drug traffickers after President Donald Trump last week labeled fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction,” triggering a broader federal crackdown of the dangerous substance.The designation came through an executive order signed Dec. 16 that classifies illicit fentanyl and related compounds as “weapons of mass destruction,” directing federal agencies nationwide to treat the synthetic opioid as a national security threat under counter WMD frameworks typically reserved for chemical weapons.The White House said the move reflects fentanyl’s extreme lethality, its role in tens of thousands of overdose deaths each year,…

Beijing Condemns Trump’s Gunboat Diplomacy After China-Bound Tanker Seizure Sunday’s pursuit of the vessel is related to a “sanctioned dark fleet vessel that is part of…

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.
