Michigan gun owners might be the latest to be able to enjoy constitutional carry—that is, if some Republican lawmakers get their way. A measure under consideration in the state House of Representative would make Michigan the 30th state to have such a law on the books. Filed on March 3, HB 5653 would do away with the requirement for lawful Michigan gun owners to pay a fee and jump through bureaucratic hoops to practice their Second Amendment right to carry a firearm for self-defense. And a few other bills introduced in conjunction with HB5653 would ensure that it is implemented…

It should not be a shock when I say women are frequently disrespected in the 2A space simply for posting. They are told they are not strong enough, not smart enough, not capable enough to operate firearms.Social media comments often state that women should “just get a revolver” because they are simple to operate under stress. Another common example is the assertion that a semi-automatic is too complicated for a womanto operate. To make things worse, the more extreme comments do not even try and give unsolicited advice, but make absurd comments like, “I don’t like seeing women with guns because I’ve seen them with cars.” If I call out these comments,…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction I have watched, analyzed, and reported on geopolitical shifts for decades, but what we are witnessing in March 2026 is not just another conflict. It is the final, convulsive act of a dying American empire. On February 28, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched Operation Epic Fury — a massive air campaign aimed at regime change in Iran [1]. The administration frames this as a decisive, necessary stroke. But from my perspective, this war was lost before the first missile was fired. The outcome guarantees a seismic…

Food storage is one of the most critical parts of homesteading and emergency preparedness. Meals Ready-To-Eat, also known as MREs, are a common staple when it comes to survival. The military uses them to help feed soldiers in the field, and they are often used for those going out for long hikes and backpacking. We’ve all seen those MREs on store shelves at outdoor stores, but have you ever tried one? Don’t get us wrong, MREs do a great job of fueling up the body and providing a lot of caloric energy in a small package. However, they are usually…

I’ve spent decades on alpine, Nordic, and backcountry skis, but a couple of years ago, when I first clicked into skate skis, I was a beginner all over again. Skate skiing felt twitchy, technical, and humbling, reminding me how hard it is to start something new. It also physically kicked my butt. I consider myself in good shape, but those first sessions left me breathless and sore in places I didn’t expect. When I began testing the Fischer Aeroguide Skate 85, I had only skate skied a handful of times. I wasn’t strong, efficient, or smooth. After using these skis…

New York City isn’t fond of guns. They don’t want anyone to have them, and it doesn’t matter what kind of gun we’re talking about here, either. They want them all gone; they just can’t make that happen. And, despite the animosity between the new mayor and the NYPD, the department itself tends to have a very high number of officers who favor gun control. They’re proud of finding guns that people aren’t expressly authorized to have, even if it’s clear they’re not a threat to anyone.For example, as Lee Williams points out, they’re absolutely…
