United States President Donald Trump has temporarily put “Project Freedom” on hold, pausing military escorts in the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the blockade of Iranian ports will “remain in full force and effect” until a final agreement with Tehran is reached. The now-aborted operation is the latest flashpoint between Washington and Tehran. Iran warned that any foreign military entering the strait would be targeted, insisting that safe passage through the waterway must be coordinated with Iranian forces. –RT. “Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries,” as well as “great progress” in talks with Iranian representatives, Washington and Tehran have “mutually agreed” to…

Every time something bad happens, the script gets dusted off. “Common sense gun control.” It sounds good. Feels good. Polls well. But when you actually press on it, ask for specifics, it starts to fall apart real fast. A recent breakdown by Colion Noir took a closer look at that argument and started asking the questions nobody seems willing to answer. Hope Walz calls for “common sense” gun legislation. Case in point: the latest viral push from Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota’s Tim Walz, jumping on TikTok to explain how gun control is basically the line between civilized people and…

It is Military Appreciation Month and one longtime national nonprofit is raising continued awareness regarding the importance of Military Working Dogs (MWD) in military service members’ lives. Soldiers’ Angels, based out of San Antonio, Texas, works directly with deployed MWD handlers. With it also being National Pet Week, they are encouraging the public to help donate canines’ most-needed items due to handlers experiencing a lack of specialized supplies overseas. Specific items requested include heavy-duty toys for power chewers, grooming tools, large food and water bowls. Due to MWD’s strict diets, Soldiers’ Angels cannot accept or ship dog food or treats.…

Nothing can spoil a hunt like foot problems. But great, condition-appropriate hunting boots will keep feet happy and hunters moving through mountains, marshes, forests, or fields. Apart from being burly and weather-proof, the best hunting boots have focused qualities for specific environments. If you’re chasing elk across mountains, you’ll want very different footwear from duck hunters hunkering in a cold, wet blind. To build this list, I and a team of hunters tested more than 25 pairs of boots over eight years. For this round of testing, we collectively spent over three months trekking through steep elk country in Colorado,…

The DOJ’s new effort to overturn Denver, Colorado’s ban on so-called assault weapons has received a warm welcome from Second Amendment organizations and advocates, who see the challenge as a welcome opportunity to create a circuit court split on the constitutionality of such bans… and maybe give the Supreme Court a nudge to take up the issue sooner rather than later. In a statement, NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford declared the move is “exactly what gun owners voted for.” The Trump administration has been relentless in defending the Second Amendment, and today’s lawsuit against Denver’s unconstitutional…

Season 2 of Battlefield 6 is winding down with one final update launching on May 5, which brings a few quality-of-life improvements ahead of the following week’s launch of Season 3.

This article was originally published by Ryan McMaken at The Mises Institute.  In January of 1917, V.I. Lenin was disappointed. He was living in exile in Zurich, having failed to bring about a communist revolution in Russia in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Yet, being a committed revolutionary, he refused to declare defeat. In a speech to socialists on January 22, Lenin described the failure to win a decisive battle against the Russian regime as a “temporary defeat.” Nonetheless, he did not know when a similar opportunity might arise, and he told his audience: We of the…

The ATF has rolled out a lot of new rules, and on the surface, they all seem to tip things in our favor. Yes, it’s a refreshing change of pace. However, now that we have the actual text of what’s changing and what isn’t, we can begin an in-depth analysis of just whether we’re getting good news or a turd sandwich dressed up like good news. The Second Amendment Foundation announced in a press release that it would begin its own look at these changes.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) released for…

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran with more bombing Wednesday if it doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz after a report that an agreement is emerging to end the war. Trump posted on social media that the war with Iran could soon end and oil and natural gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the U.S. president did not detail. “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote. Trump’s threats came after China’s foreign minister called for a comprehensive ceasefire in the Iran war following a meeting with…

​WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Russia is shifting from individual recruits to ‘professional’ networks to carry out a campaign of sabotage and other attacks across Europe, Poland’s internal security service said in a report published Wednesday. European officials and law enforcement have previously warned that Russia is waging a hybrid war against Europe, including sabotage, arson attacks, and vandalism, as well as influence operations. The Associated Press has tracked more than 150 such incidents linked to Moscow by Western officials since the invasion of Ukraine. Many of the people involved were recruited online as disposable agents and some had no idea…
