This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute. After the failures of socialism—economically, historically, and ethically—the Left-liberal intellectuals, not wanting to abandon socialism, employed several new strategies. It has been suggested that these several manifestations can be subsumed under one general category—postmodernism. After a review of postmodern philosophy and philosophical influences, Stephen Hicks explains his central argument in Explaining Postmodernism: “Postmodernism is the academic far Left’s epistemological strategy for responding to the crisis caused by the failures of socialism in theory and in practice.” In other words, once socialism was discredited theoretically, economically (in several ways), historically, and ethically, those who were still ideologically committed to…

A common refrain from gun rights advocates–common because it’s true–is that gun control will work just as well as drug control has worked. After all, we just removed a dictator from Venezuela for his role in funneling cocaine into the United States. We’re still fighting the Mexican cartels to try and keep them from funneling their products onto American streets, and we have the Chinese helping the fentanyl trade. Drugs are all over the place, and despite being restricted even more tightly than guns are in many ways, we’re not doing a lot to stop…

After a long day outside leading a backcountry hut trip in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, I couldn’t hang up my ski bibs. It was 5 p.m. I was co-guiding six middle-school children on their inaugural hut trip, a culmination of an after-school backcountry program. There was one more task: I needed to shuttle a 14-year-old to the trailhead. They had a ski competition the next morning. Fortunately, the Jones Men’s Shralpinist Recycled GORE-TEX ePE Ski Bibs were up to the workload. Throughout testing, these tenacious, sustainable bibs endured long backcountry hours and back-to-back stormy days. In short: If you’re a splitboarder, mountaineer, or skier…
During tactical fitness lift cycles, the primary focus is to build strength and, for some, gain mass, especially for athletes with an endurance background who need to put on weight. However, the secondary focus is to maintain cardiovascular conditioning through running, rucking and/or swimming, depending on the training or job the athlete is preparing for. Here is a typical leg day routine we have the athletes do who need a foundation of strength, load-bearing stamina, and to maintain their cardio fitness for the variety of testing and events in military training:Warmup: Squat/Toe Touch/Run Pyramid Build up to 10 reps; jog 100 meters…
The Telluride ski patrol strike, which started on Dec. 27, has finally come to an end.

The Supreme Court is holding its first conference of 2026 today, and among the Second Amendment cases the justices are considering is one that could have far-reaching implications for the right to carry across state lines. Marquis v. Massachusetts is a challenge to the state’s ridiculous laws regarding non-residents and their ability to legally bear arms once they cross the state line. Massachusetts doesn’t recognize any permits issued by other state; instead, non-residents are supposed to apply for a non-resident permit from the state police. Philip Marquis, a New Hampshire resident who was arrested for carrying…

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.

What we dislike: Less battery life than other options.Keyboard and trackpad are flimsy.No…
