During the Supreme Court’s oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez, one of the questions the justices wrestled with was how much weight to give an 1865 law adopted in Louisiana that prohibited carrying a gun onto a plantation without the express permission of the plantation owner. Attorney Alan Beck and the DOJ attorney siding with the plaintiffs argued that the law was designed to target newly-freed slaves and as such should be disregarded; not only as a historical outlier but as a law that was repugnant to our Constitution.  While Hawaii’s attorney Neal Katyal argued…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction: The Unavoidable Foundation The fate of a civilization is inextricably tied to the physical and mental vitality of its people. When a nation’s collective health fails, so too does its capacity for rational governance, economic productivity, and social cohesion. The crumbling pillars of American power are not merely political or financial; they are biological. The visible decay of its institutions mirrors the invisible decay within its citizens, a populace increasingly medicated, malnourished, and mentally diminished. No empire can sustain itself on a foundation of chronic disease and cognitive…

There’s a new kid on the block… sort of. SITKA, manufacturer of premium hunting goods, made a big splash by launching a new product line: SITKA Fish. It promises to bring the same high level of performance to the water that hunters have relied on in the field for many decades. The reasoning is simple. Almost every hunter is an angler as well. SITKA is already familiar with the customer base and certainly has experience making quality gear that can withstand the elements. “Fishing is more than a hobby for our customers — it is part of how they live,”…

I see a lot of news that makes me angry. A lot of times, it’s people blaming gun owners for various things that legal gun ownership had nothing to do with. However, that’s not all that infuriates me. What really gets me is when I come across a story of someone doing something so completely idiotic with a gun that even a mentally disabled fungus should be able to discern is a bad idea, and someone gets hurt or killed because of it.And not just people screwing around with guns, which is up there, too.…

Not every resort day calls for uber-technical women’s ski pants. This is especially true when warmth and comfort at a ski resort matter more than breathability or weight. On those days, that’s when I reached for The North Face Freedom Insulated Snow Pants, designed for skiers who want reliable warmth and protection without a premium-shell price tag. After a whole weekend of testing the Freedom snow pants at Aspen Snowmass, it was clear these pants aren’t chasing high-end technical performance. But that’s not a bad thing. Instead, they’re aimed at recreational skiers (like most of us!) who want dependable warmth…

For most of my life, I have carried the best firearms I could afford. They are a good investment in longevity. I upgraded when something better came along. I am not emotionally attached to any machine. I expect good service, and I appreciate reliable function and an effective firearm. While I don’t love any handgun, I do hate those that malfunction or otherwise hamper my efforts at proficiency. One of my latest efforts is testing the Glock Generation 6. It is a bit early in the game, true, but so far the pistol has proven to offer something worthwhile over…

If The Sims took place in a national park instead of quaint neighborhoods filled with horny avatars, I suppose it might look something like Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator. After all, there’s a video game for everything these days, so why not make one focused on park rangers? That’s the gist behind Ranger’s Path. It’s an upcoming release from Epic Games, a major player in the video game industry that created the cultural phenomenon Fortnite and the Unreal game engine (if you don’t know, ask your gamer friend). Early trailers for the game, which gets an “early release” on March 10, show…

It’s been a bit since we talked about the group 97Percent. This is a gun control organization that has a history of pretending that they speak not just for the gun control side, but even most gun owners.  The last time I mentioned them was back in September 2025, when one of their trainers tried to defend the failures of red flag laws in Minneapolis by claiming the issue was that people didn’t act, without recognizing the irony of blaming people while trying to skirt blaming other people.Regardless, in that piece, I quoted a bit…

Former United States President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee in its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Previously, the Clintons failed to reach an agreement, prompting a vote that led to their being held in contempt of Congress. “By voting to hold the Clintons in contempt, the Committee sent a clear message: no one is above the law, and justice must be applied equally – regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige,” Committee Chairman James Comer said. House Committee Votes To Hold The Clintons In Contempt…

Florida lawmakers are advancing a sweeping agriculture bill that includes a little-noticed provision with potentially far-reaching consequences for free speech. Section 47 of House Bill 433 expands Florida’s agricultural disparagement law in a way critics say could make speaking up for wildlife habitat and environmental protection legally dangerous. At issue is an amendment to Section 865.065 of the Florida Statutes, a law that allows agricultural producers to sue over public statements they claim falsely disparage their products. While similar “food libel” laws exist in other states, Florida’s proposed expansion is broader than most and, according to critics, crosses a line…

Never-Trumper and co-founder of the Lincoln Project Steve Schmidt has a plan to keep gun owners away from the polls this November: remind them of the recent comments made by Trump Administration officials like U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, FBI Director Kash Patel, and even President Trump himself that have drawn pushback from Second Amendment advocates and organizations.  Schmidt unveiled his plans during a conversation with former CNN anchor Jim Acosta, promising to highlight those remarks in a variety of settings between now and Election Day. Schmidt, who was a prominent Republican strategist known for…

Visiting a national park is a special trip, but timing your visit with a festival can really level up the experience. Many national parks host annual events to celebrate nature, art, wildflowers, and more. Whether you’re a climber, birder, or budding astronomer, there’s almost certainly a park festival with your name on it. Many of these events are free and help visitors gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of these natural landscapes. Consider this your ultimate guide to national park events throughout the year. Gear up and get out there. December/January Multiple Parks: Christmas Bird Count This annual birding count…
