Images by the author Nextorch was new to my radar until recently. I was checking one of the gun magazines and saw an ad for a flashlight that caught my attention… just what it was supposed to do, I guess… Anyway, I started exploring and contacted the company for a review sample or two. First responders aren’t the only ones who need a good light and other similar gear. You may be wondering about the company. In a nutshell, Nextorch is a provider of a range of lights, multi-tools, and batons for the law enforcement, military, and civilian markets. I’ll…
It’s been a tough few years for Nissan, the second-largest Japanese automaker struggling to reverse a series of setbacks that have forced it to make major cutbacks in production and employment around the world. For customers, of course, that’s just noise in the background, and they’re more likely to ask, “What have you done for me lately?” The good news is that the answer is, “A lot.” We’ve gotten an all-new version of the Leaf and will soon see the return of the quirky Xterra. For those looking for a solid, handsome, and well-equipped three-row SUV, meanwhile, there’s the updated…
When two students at Kentucky State University were shot on campus earlier this month, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was quick to ask for prayers for those injured, as well as “these Kentucky State University students that, again, might be rightfully scared.” Beshear added that folks should “pray for a world where these things don’t happen.” Everytown for Gun Safety declared on social media that “No one should have to fear for their life at school. Our young people deserve so much better. Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Kentucky State…

Fitness encompasses cardiovascular endurance, strength training, and mobility/flexibility. These are non-negotiables for continuing to live throughout your later years with your independence and ability to move and socialize still intact.Instead of thinking simply about living longer, let’s use the start of a new year to focus on getting healthier, so we live better. More than any other time each year, the New Year is a popular time to focus on a “fresh start.” Temporal landmarks like New Year’s Day, Mondays, birthdays and the change of seasons are standard starting lines for many of us when we have a goal to work…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Shares of warship builder Huntington Ingalls Industries rose in premarket trading and are on track for the largest annual gain in 12 years, driven by news of President Trump’s continued push to rebuild the U.S. Navy. HII gained 5% on Monday and another 5% in premarket trading early Tuesday after President Trump announced a plan on Monday evening to build two new “Trump-class” battleships, to acquire 20-25 of these ships in the coming years. Here are critical details about Trump’s major announcement Monday evening (courtesy of Goldman analyst Noah Poponak): Trump-class battleships.…
As TTAG readers know, registration leads to confiscation. It always has and always will. And licensing of gun purchasers is a gateway to registration. So, it should come as little surprise that Democrat gun-ban advocates in the U.S. Senate have introduced a new measure to require lawful Americans to have a federal firearms license to purchase a gun in the United States.

Andy Kim, D-New Jersey, introduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, which would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm. Specifically, the…
A few weeks after standing idle at the SEMA show, Toyota lit the ignition on the Scion 01 Concept at the ceremony of the updated proving grounds in Arizona. I saw it blast down a dusty red carpet of sorts before parking under a tent. Idle again, Don Federico, Vice President of Vehicle Performance Development at Toyota, stood next to it and offered a lot more detail about this side-by-side concept. (Photo/Robin Warner) Off-the-Shelf Powertrain Mounted behind the second row sits the Tacoma hybrid powertrain, the more powerful of the two offered on the midsize pickup. Using a turbocharged 2.4L…
Lawmakers in New South Wales are giving their constituents (or maybe “subjects” is a better word) the gift of authoritarianism this Christmas. In response to the Bondi Beach shootings on the first day of Hanukkah, the New South Wales parliament adopted several new laws early on Christmas Eve that are aimed at curbing both gun ownership and the freedom of expression. The legislation passed this week has three key pillars: creating an offence for displaying terrorist symbols such as the IS flag; significant restrictions on firearm possession; and allowing the police commissioner to prevent protests occurring…
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…
