If you are preparing for military service that involves intense physical training, you will want to be a cardio machine. Here are three standard methods of movement in the military: running, rucking and swimming. Depending on your job and branch of service, you may need to prepare only for running and rucking, but swimming is also used in some jobs and makes for a great non-impact cardio activity regardless.The following workouts are more about building aerobic and anaerobic systems for longer-distance movement than for shorter-distance timed events, such as fitness tests — though you will see longer-distance runs, rucks, and…
After a volunteer “peacekeeper” shot and killed an innocent bystander at a No Kings protest in Utah earlier this year, a pair of Democrat lawmakers are hoping to use the incident to make some changes to the state’s self-defense statutes. State Sen. Kathleen Riebe and State Rep. Rep. Verona Mauga are offering up legislation that they say would prevent a repeat of the shooting this past summer, which eventually led to Matthew Scott Alder being charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of protest attendee Arthur “Afa” Folasa Ah Loo. Alder said he fired his weapon…
The term “gun lobby,” at least here in the US, tends to be thrown around more as a pejorative than anything else. It’s nothing but a way to pretend that the only people who really care about our gun rights are the people who stand to profit from guns. Never mind that guns don’t just magically appear in people’s homes with a non-voluntary deduction from their bank accounts. People make the choice to buy them, and those people are often folks who value their right to keep and bear arms.In Australia, it looks as if…
While the Trump Administration has said it would protect the Second Amendment and even recently created a Second Amendment Rights Section within the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, it continues to fight to save the NFA’s registration power now that the $200 tax is gone. And that staunch defense of what is arguably unconstitutional, since the tax law no longer has a tax attached, is drawing the ire of many in the gun-rights community. “In a stunning, ultimate betrayal of the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice responded to GOA’s One, Big, Beautiful lawsuit with a new attack on…
As my bird dogs and I neared the end of a cat tail slough, I watched two roosters flush wild 80 yards ahead of us, out of range. I grimaced, felt my lower lip crack, and tasted blood as a 40 mph gust ripped across my face. Yet another wasted effort. It had been a brutal week in South Dakota, with waist-deep snow covered in an inch of ice, temperatures approaching -20, and birds scooting across the icy landscape ahead of us. We were trying to keep up, but it was impossible. Every step sent me and the dogs plummeting…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Hundreds of millions of people all over the Western world are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing has changed. But meanwhile, the pounding of the war drums just continues to intensify. If the world keeps going down this path, next year’s holiday season could look completely different. Unfortunately, most people seem to assume that everything will magically work out just fine somehow. That greatly frustrates me, because ignoring the reality of the crisis that we are facing is not going to fix anything. If ordinary citizens…
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…

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed in online records that Ransone died by suicide on Friday. No additional details were immediately released.Ransone built a wide-ranging career across television and film, often playing volatile, troubled, or emotionally complex characters. In addition to his work on The Wire, he appeared in HBO’s Generation Kill, which followed a U.S. Marine reconnaissance battalion during the early days of the Iraq War. The 2008 miniseries marked a turning…
Angry that he didn’t get enough support to actually call a special session of the legislature to try and pass more gun control restrictions, on December 16, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed two executive orders on guns. Fortunately, neither is likely to have much impact. Purported to address “gun violence,” gun-ban advocates’ name for criminal violence, the first executive order creates an “educational” campaign to promote the state’s “red-flag” laws, mandatory storage scheme and directs the Department of Commerce to collect data from insurance companies on the “costs of gun violence.” The second order creates a Statewide Safety Council with a…
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…

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.
