Thomas Massie, the Republican Congressman representing Kentucky’s 4th District yet again in the headlines. In the latest round of political theater coming out of Washington, D.C., Massie has yet again become the target of President Donald Trump’s ire. Via his Truth Social post, President Trump pulled no punches, directing a post at Massie, which gave an endorsement for a political challenger who has not even declared for the 2026 midterm race. In his message, the President called Massie a “Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky” and that he “must be thrown out of…

This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute “Kleptocracy: a society whose leaders make themselves rich and powerful by stealing from the rest of the people.”—Cambridge Dictionary America has been backsliding into kleptocratic territory for years now, but this may finally be it. A kleptocracy is literally “rule by thieves.” It is a form of government in which a network of ruling elites “steal public funds for their own private gain using public institutions.” As analyst Thomas Mayne explains, it’s “a system based on virtually unlimited grand corruption coupled with, in the…
There is a problem here in the United States, and that’s if liberty were to fall here, there’s nowhere to go. There’s no escape route for those of us who don’t want the government to take everything from us, up to and including our guns, which is why so many of us have a line in the sand that cannot be crossed. And I don’t see there being anywhere to go anytime soon. Too many other nations that are supposedly free really aren’t, and the trend internationally is for more regulation of everything and a…
With UN troops getting dangerously close to the Yalu River, Mao Zedong’s orders were simple: destroy the 1st Marine Division. In late November 1950, he sent 12 divisions—more than 120,000 troops from the elite 9th Army Group—into the frozen mountains around North Korea’s Chosin Reservoir to trap and annihilate 30,000 American, British and South Korean forces.The Chinese had numerical superiority, tactical surprise and home-field advantage in terrain so brutal that men froze to death in their fighting positions. By every measure, the UN forces should have been wiped out.But they survived. And the story of how a rag-tag group of survivors—Marines,…

In U.S. v. Hemani, the Supreme Court will decide if Section 922(g)(3) of the federal code, which prohibits the possession of firearms by all “unlawful” users of drugs, violates the Second Amendment; either in every circumstance or specifically in the case of defendant Ali Danial Hemani. As we’ve discussed, the gun control lobby has zipped its collective lips over the Court’s decision to address this question, most likely because there are plenty of pro-legalization voices on the left who don’t like the idea of throwing a grandmother in prison for eating a THC gummy to…
This article was originally published by Lipton Matthews at The Mises Institute. Lawrence Mead’s Political Breakdown (2025) is not a book of partisan skirmishing or quick diagnoses. It is instead a cultural meditation on why the United States, a society that once seemed uniquely dynamic, confident, and cohesive, now struggles to maintain the very norms that powered its rise. For Mead, the story of American decline is not simply about inequality, polarization, or stagnant wages, though these are real enough. It is about the erosion of the ethic of individualism that once held society together. The United States—unlike many other nations—thrived…
The J60 Toyota Land Cruiser has been an icon for more than 40 years. But as tough as the 60 Series has been, even the newest are using engines and transmissions that were designed long enough ago that they’re eligible for early retirement. The Toyota ‘Turbo Trail Cruiser’ is a SEMA show concept that fixes that particular piece of the puzzle. Or at least it updates it. It does so by adding Toyota’s newest twin-turbo V6 under the hood. Turn the Land Slug Into a Real Cruiser (Photo/Toyota) Look, we understand that the ancient gas and diesel engines are part…
In the wake of the Sutherland Springs shooting, the military had to answer for quite a bit. The killer in that mass murder was a dishonorably discharged member of the Air Force who never should have been able to buy guns lawfully. A push began to fix the NICS database by having the Department of Defense include military members who should be prohibited under existing law. Sounded fine to many at the time.The problem? It seems that the military went way too far. Now, a lot of people who were never even charged are finding…
This week marks 20 years since the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) became law. Signed by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2005, the bipartisan measure shields firearm manufacturers and dealers from frivolous lawsuits attempting to hold them liable for crimes committed by third parties. This video’s 8 years old but it’s still a solid rundown of the PLCAA, if you’re not familiar with it. Two Decades of Legal Protection for the Firearms Industry The NSSF, the firearm industry’s trade association, says the PLCAA remains essential to preserving both the industry’s survival and the Second Amendment…
You send the resumes. You do the screening calls and (hopefully) interview with decision makers, and then it comes: The job offer! Yay!Should you accept the first offer you receive, or should you wait?I get this question a lot, particularly from transitioning service members who admit to sending “a lot” of resumes without customizing their resumes and cover letters or researching the companies. Their approach of flooding the market is sure to result in an offer eventually, they tell me.But is it the right job?I can’t tell you to reject a job offer if you have kids to feed. But…
It was 6 a.m. when my alarm went off — and rain pounded the gabled copper roof of the 300-year-old Daishinbo Pilgrim Lodge. Sunshine or not, I was in Japan to hike Mount Haguro on Honshu Island. If the downpour persisted, I would certainly find out whether my Osprey Fairview Travel Pack could duck any moisture. The day trek follows one of the country’s oldest pilgrimage routes of the ancient Shugendō spiritual tradition, a blend of Shinto, Buddhism, and Daoism. Before meeting my Yamabushi guide, I adorned the customary attire: a white robe, a woven cord necklace — symbolizing a…
BELLEVUE, WA – A remarkably candid article in The Trace, billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun news publication, declares “gun violence” is trending downward, a scenario which tells the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that no further gun control laws are necessary. “Look at the information provided in this article, and it leads to only one conclusion,” stated CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “The Trace says violence involving firearms is ‘trending downward for more than three quarters of cities with the most shootings.’ This comes at a time when more than 21 million Americans are licensed to carry,…
Roberto Stillman Garcia was one of the more than 2,400 souls lost on Dec. 7, 1941, when Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. While it took nearly 84 years, Garcia, a seaman in the U.S. Navy, finally received the proper burial he deserved. On that fateful morning in 1941, Garcia was stationed aboard the USS California, one of an astounding 21 ships either severely damaged or destroyed by Japanese bombers. Coming Home to TexasOn Oct. 21, Garcia’s remains were buried, and the veteran received full military honors in a ceremony at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in Corpus Christi, Texas. Garcia grew…
Legislators in the House and Senate are investigating methods to expand the powers of the National Guard in cyber operations and communication resilience as they move on with the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The proposed clauses would place National Guard units at the forefront of safeguarding crucial infrastructure, enhancing systems for communication, and installing modern technologies for disaster response. However, there are still significant differences about whether Washington deserves to preserve state control or its command of the digital response mission. Rising Stakes: Cyber, Comms, and Guard MissionsThe Department of War (DOW) is required to look into the current…
There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned gear shop, with a carefully curated selection of products and experienced, expert employees. These stores are home to a host of services, from used gear to rentals, and local employees with strong knowledge of the area can help customers in a way that big, online retailers often can’t.

Next time you’re near one, try stopping by and having a chat with the staff. You never know what outdoor intel or great deals you might discover.…
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas was a big part of why the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act passed under President Joe Biden. He rallied just enough GOP votes to get it through the Senate, which was the only possible bulwark against any gun control passing. In doing so, he angered a lot of pro-gun people. Now, it seems some are shocked to learn that backing a gun control bill isn’t playing well with gun rights supporters in Texas.In the wake of the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn made a risky decision for…
