More gun control bills continue to be introduced in Virginia ahead of next week’s deadline to file legislation for the 2026 session, including a measure that could put a stop to backyard plinking for some Virginia residents. Virginia law already allows counties to prohibit the outdoor shooting of “firearms or arrows from bows or arrowguns in any areas of the county which are in the opinion of the governing body so heavily populated as to make such conduct dangerous to the inhabitants thereof.”HB 926 would expand on that by allowing counties to enact an ordinance…
A turncoat who left a decades-long career in the gun industry to work for an anti-gun group has announced he is running for Congress in the state of Montana, raising a red flag with the powerful National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). In his career, Ryan Busse spent 25 years working for a leading American firearm manufacturer, during which time the company produced more than 2.3 million rifles, pistols and revolvers. But as NSSF pointed out in a recent press item, after leaving, Busse took a high-dollar paid lobbying position with the national gun control group GIFFORDS Courage to Fight Gun…
This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News. Yulia Timoshenko, a major opposition figure, is facing new criminal charges for allegedly organizing a scheme to buy parliamentary votes. This comes at a time when President Zelensky’s government is already unstable and struggling to pass legislation. The investigation is conducted by anti-corruption agencies (NABU and SAPO) that Timoshenko recently tried to weaken. Last year, she supported a bill to strip these agencies of their independence, which was only reversed after Western pressure. This makes the timing of the charges seem politically suspicious. Timoshenko denies wrongdoing, calling the raid a “publicity…
January is an underrated month for the outdoors. Depending on where you live, you might be knee-deep in the snow or simply a bit chilly. Either way, winter won’t keep us from skiing or camping — provided you have the right gear. This week’s gear roundup will keep you prepared while taking some weight off your shoulders. From backpacking tents and chairs that weigh less than a pineapple, to cute little YETI coolers — the ultralight crowd will find plenty to love here. But we’re also keen on some new BOA ski boots and some sweet wool threads from The North…
It was nearly 20 years ago when I slapped skins on my dad’s old 210cm telemark skis for the first time. Those first few tele turns made that much more unnatural by the headlamp-lit darkness and the icy bite of the evening wind. It didn’t help that his old Garmonts were at least three mondo sizes too big for my teenage feet. I was absolutely swimming. Yet somehow it clicked. Dropping a knee weirdly made sense, even if my feet were a wobbly, sloppy mess and the telemark equipment of the day was a sketchily contrived deathtrap. Fast forward 2…
With no fee for NFA items like suppressors and short-barreled long guns, Americans are jumping at the opportunity to get things they likely always wanted, but didn’t want to have to fool with the tax stamp on. Let’s be real here, even in today’s money, $200 isn’t exactly pocket change. So, they’re taking advantage of the tax going away and embracing it.Sure, they still have to register them, but while that is working its way through the courts, it also offers up a golden opportunity for some weapons-grade trolling.For example, one gentleman registered a potato.“TATE001”That’s…
On January 1, 2026, Tennessee became the first state to launch a public registry for repeat domestic violence offenders, marking a historic step in protecting potential victims and raising awareness about this pervasive issue. Known as Savanna’s Law, the legislation establishes a database maintained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) that lists individuals convicted of multiple domestic violence-related offenses. The registry includes key details such as the offender’s name, date of birth, photograph, conviction dates, and counties of conviction. Notably, it excludes sensitive information like home addresses or Social Security numbers to balance public safety with privacy concerns. …
Less than 3 months after filing for unionization, the ski patrol at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has concluded its effort to unionize. On Nov. 20, 2025, the group filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. After several months of organizing, 93% of the 88 patrollers signed the petition to form a union. Like other ski patrol outfits that have unionized in Park City and Telluride, patrollers in Jackson Hole argued that wages were not keeping pace with the high cost of living in the resort community they serve. Teton County is one of…
In 2018, Adam and Jodi Brunjes came up with an interesting idea, bringing together military veterans, first responders, police officers, firefighters and a few emergency room doctors for a few friendly, yet competitive hockey games to relieve stress and raise money for local fundraisers.What started out small in 2018 as the “Blue Warriors,” has morphed into the Brave Warriors Hockey Foundation, a nonprofit league in Colorado featuring 17 teams. Games serve as charitable events to support those who serve their communities and help save lives. Adam Brunjes, president and CEO of the Brave Warriors Hockey Foundation, knows some of the challenges…
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.
