If there is one thing almost universally associated with California, it’s sunny, sandy beaches. And if recent work by the National Park Service is any indication, they could serve as the cornerstone of America’s newest national park. But very significant hurdles remain. On Feb. 5, the National Park Service (NPS) opened a call for public comments for a proposal to turn about 22 miles of coastline, plus some nearby hills, into a national park. While the public comment period is currently open until April 6, it is clear that the road to turning these extremely busy, populated, and commercialized parts of…
While Nassau County chief executive Bruce Blakeman hasn’t officially become the Republican standard-bearer in the New York governor’s race, it’s essentially a foregone conclusion that Blakeman will be the one squaring off against incumbent Kathy Hochul this November. According to the New York Post, Blakeman selected Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino as the lieutenant governor candidate; a move that should have Empire State Second Amendment advocates cheering. Instead, they’re holding their applause. Unfortunately, Giardino has declined Blakeman’s offer, which is good news for Fulton County gun owners but is also a sign of just how…
New Mexico’s gun control push just got louder, and so did the backlash. Over the weekend, Senate Democrats advanced Senate Bill 17, a wide-ranging gun control package that would ban common semi-automatic firearms, .50-caliber rifles, and standard-capacity magazines. The bill passed the Senate on a narrow 21–17 vote and now heads to the House, where gun rights groups say the real fight begins. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms wasted no time calling out the bill as political theater dressed up as public safety. “Senate Bill 17 would ban semi-automatic firearms and original capacity magazines,”…
Images by the author I recently reviewed a few products from HiLight Tactical, and the hits, they keep a’ comin’. This company seems to be on the right track, offering effective weapon lights at a good price. I was recently sent a light from their Peak Performance series, with yet another newer light in the works – stay tuned for that one. The Peak Performance series consists of one light in several configurations. You can choose what you want directly from the website, or buy the lights from third parties. Here’s what is available in terms of body and laser…
Given how good Wyoming’s gun laws already are, it’s tough for pro-2A lawmakers to come up with legislation that can continue to move the needle in the right direction. With the help of Gun Owners of America, though, Wyoming state Rep. Gary Brown, has come up with a proposal that does just that. HB 14 would require that “ff a person who is subject to criminal prosecution is found not guilty, has had the charges dismissed or is otherwise released from custody or further prosecution because the person reasonably used defensive force” in accordance with…
China has asked all of its banks to reduce exposure to American debt, citing rising market volatility and geopolitical risks. China has been steadily whittling away at its United States treasury holdings since peaking in 2013. Bloomberg [behind a paywall] has reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The shift away from American debt has seen China overtaken by Japan and the United Kingdom as the largest foreign holders. Since peaking at around $1.3 trillion in 2013, its holdings have fallen roughly by half to about $650–700 billion, reaching levels not seen since 2008, according to a report by RT. Investors…
Troops from the United Kingdom have crossed Russia’s red line, by being deployed on the ground in Ukraine. Russia stated that the UK has given it every opportunity to view it as a party to the coflict, at this point. Moscow’s ambassador to London, Andrey Kelin, has said that Russia will now be declaring the UK “a de facto party to the conflict.” British involvement is deep and reflects a strategy of containing Russia, Kelin told RIA Novosti in an interview published on Monday, as reported by RT. Russia Mocks Canada Over Promise To Send Troops To Ukraine Previously, France…
Virginia has been in the news in a bad, bad way lately. Cam has been covering it, so I won’t repeat the details of what’s going on. The gist is that it’s awful, and Virginia Democrats are on track to turn Virginia into the next Colorado with draconian, ineffective gun control measures, while at the same time unleashing their criminal chums on the People with crook-friendly laws. What caught my eye in the midst of this fracas is the name of one legislator who is celebrating the unconstitutional infringements: JJ Singh (D), who represents the…
We’ve reported in the past about how the Trump Administration has been somewhat wishy-washy on its Second Amendment promises, sometimes siding with gun owners and sometimes supporting arguably unconstitutional gun laws. Most recently, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has sided with gun owners in a court case challenging the constitutionality of Massachusetts’ handgun roster. On January 26, the DOJ filed an amicus brief with the Boston-based 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Granata v. Healey, siding firmly with the plaintiffs, who argue the handgun roster is unconstitutional. As background, under the auspices of its approved firearms roster,…
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.
