The Florida Department of Health’s officials have released an update on a measles outbreak at a university. There have been 46 confirmed cases of measles across Collier County from January 1st to February 7th. Fifty-seven students at Ave Maria University are quarantined, so far, as the school works on providing free vaccinations to those who may want them. The vigorous campaign to vaccinate the masses is being promoted as a way to protect the community. Local fire departments are also working closely with health officials to hand out vaccines. Collier County has said that the majority of the Ave Maria University…
Most flipper knives require a bit of actual flipping to open the blade. But with the WEKnife Speedliner, a late 2024 introduction designed by Tashi Bharucha, it’s more like pulling a trigger. WEKnife sent me a Speedliner Flipper Knife with a titanium handle around the holidays. I hadn’t sought it out, but it arrived with a brief note of thanks and carried my name on the handle. I didn’t think much of reviewing it until now, a couple of months later, as it has really earned a spot in my daily rotation. While the Speedliner seemed to garner a lukewarm…
New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment…and unconstitutional gun control. How is a state, with a population of just over two million people, always the vetting ground for gun control zealots’ bright ideas? Before legislation is handed over to legislators in “un-gun friendly” states like California, Illinois, New York and Washington, it always seems like gun control groups like Michael Bloomberg backed Everytown, or Giffords use New Mexico as a beta-test to see how much “they” can get away with before ending up arguing before SCOTUS. Under the abysmal “leadership” of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the answer to violence committed…

In only the second event of the Bassmaster Elite Series 2026 season, a rookie took home the trophy. With a win by a mere 1.5 pounds on the Bassmaster Elite Series at Lake Martin, Fisher Anaya continued the trend of young, hot anglers dominating professional bass fishing. The Elite series newcomer ended the weekend with a blue trophy and a $100K paycheck. “This feels awesome,” Anaya said. “I didn’t know if I’d ever win one of these. My buddy Gerald Swindle always tells me it’s not easy to win one of these, so if you get a shot to win, you better…
The idiotic game of “ding dong ditch” has been around a lot longer than the last few years. Friends of mine were fond of the game when I was growing up, all too many years ago. You basically just knock on a door or ring a doorbell, then take off running.It annoys the homeowner, it gives kids a bit of a thrill, but ultimately, no harm is done. It’s like calling someone and asking if their refrigerator is running.These days, some have tried to liken the game to others kicking doors like they’re trying to…
In the quiet countryside of Polk County, Florida, long-range steel targets ring out past 500 yards and sometimes far beyond. According to a report from Gulf Coast News, civilians are training in what some describe as “military-style” skills at facilities like Bone Valley Industries, where retired Air Force two-star Gen. Rick “RB” Mattson is now a co-owner. What used to be considered an impressive 500-yard shot, Mattson says, is no longer unusual. Modern rifles, optics, and training have expanded civilian capability dramatically (don’t we know it!). Sharing the same grounds is another company, Barrel & Hatchet, owned in part by…
Ram is looking for X to mark the spot. The 2026 Ram 1500 Rebel X is aimed at a luxury spot, with a panoramic roof, a glass-covered console badge, and special seat trim. But it’s also the only Ram 1500 to get the brand’s low-speed rough-road cruise control system, and it debuts a new paint color to make it more than just a carry-over. Rebel X Marked 10 Years of Styling Package (Photo/Ram) In 2025, Ram released the Rebel X as a 10th anniversary of its Rebel trim grade. Rebel was the model it launched in 2015 to add a…
The senseless shooting at a Rhode Island hockey rink on Monday afternoon was a targeted attack by a transgender man intent on killing his family, according to police. The suspect, who died at the scene after shooting his ex-wife and kids, had a history of conflict with his family over his gender identify, and an online profile believed to be that of the suspect is full of references to transgenders acting violently in response to discrimination or belittling comments. While some folks will want to pin the blame for the shooting on the fact that…
For most hunters, a 2-10×38 scope offers a great all-around size for everything from deer hunting to small game. Sure, you might not need the magnification power that the Maven RS.2 2-10×38 offers, but I’m a big believer in “better to have than not” when it comes to hunting. Do you need a close-up of a squirrel’s eye as he squats on a white oak’s upper limb and cuts an acorn? No. Could you get by with a cheaper, dedicated rimfire scope? Sure, but you could also just use iron sights if we’re going with that logic. There are plenty…
Over the past week I’ve written thousands of words about the shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti and the response from politicians, Second Amendment and gun control organizations, and the issues surrounding the right to carry at protests. I’ve been interviewed by Fox News and Newsmax, as well as local and national talk radio shows, and several of my colleagues have been just as busy. Virtually every 2A organization has weighed in, if not on the shooting itself then on the comments by President Donald Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and…
Officials in the United States have backtracked on a threat to Iran, saying that the U.S. is not actually ready to strike, after several mainstream media outlets claimed that an attack was imminent. The information on an imminent attack came from “anonymous sources.” Anonymous Sources Say That A U.S. Attack on Iran Is Imminent The U.S. has built up a military presence in the Middle East, as its rhetoric regarding Iran has intensified. Washington has dispatched what US President Donald Trump described as a “massive and beautiful armada” to the region over the past few weeks. The armada was led…
Anti-gun lawmakers in Virginia, still celebrating a new Democrat governor, are wasting no time pushing dangerous anti-gun bills through the legislative process. Bolstered by the recent swearing in of Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat-led Senate Courts of Justice Committee on January 26 passed eight gun-control measures, most of which will now be considered by the Senate Finance Committee. Perhaps the most egregious measure, Senate Bill 749 bans certain semi-automatic firearms, including many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, and arbitrarily limits magazine capacities. “With the removal of the grandfather clause for magazines, anyone in possession of magazines that exceed the arbitrary…
The saga of NRA v. NRA Foundation does not seem to be settling down. A new website has been published and it alleges to share so-called “facts” on the conflict.In early Jan. 2026, it was announced that the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against sister organization the NRA Foundation. The NRA, a 501(c)(4) is suing the Foundation, a 501(c)(3). The NRA alleges the Foundation is “repurposing millions of dollars that were contributed to support the NRA’s charitable programs,” that the Foundation is unlawfully using the NRA trademark — “trademark dilution,” and the foundation has “threatened misuse of approximately…
This article was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News. Acting CISA Director Madhu Gottumukkala triggered a security review after uploading “For Official Use Only” government documents into a public version of ChatGPT in August 2025, risking exposure to OpenAI’s user base. The incident fuels existing concerns that CISA—originally tasked with infrastructure security—has become a tool for censorship, targeting conservative voices and election-integrity advocates under the guise of combating “misinformation.” Gottumukkala reportedly failed a counterintelligence polygraph test in July 2025 and attempted to remove CISA’s Chief Information Officer, raising internal tensions. His unauthorized ChatGPT use further damaged trust in…
It’s Monday, which means it’s time for yet another study that purports to show how gun laws are good, gun rights are bad, and no matter what the Second Amendment says, we should throw it all out the window and do what our betters think we should do. Some things never really change, do they?However, it’s important we look at these studies and discuss them, because if we don’t, someone else will bring them up and present them as if they’re unassailable facts.And we at least know what’s wrong with these studies.This one claims that…
Weatherby introduced the 25 WBY RPM, a modern, fast-twist 25-caliber cartridge built to drive heavy, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets at magnum-level speeds from standard long actions. New Cartridge Aims for Modern Ballistics Weatherby’s newest addition to its Rebated Precision Magnum (RPM) family packs a .257-inch bullet into a rebated-rim design with a fast 1:7.5 twist rate. This loading is called the 25 RPM. The company reworked its RPM case to fit long, sleek projectiles without losing usable powder space, making it easier to load heavy bullets with high ballistic coefficients. The RPM name stands for Rebated Precision Magnum, and this cartridge follows…
Outdoor Edge expands its replaceable-blade lineup with the VX7 and VX8, two compact folding knives that focus on blade rigidity, easy blade swaps, and budget-friendly pricing while maintaining a splash of flair and high-end feel. A Familiar System, New Handles Outdoor Edge built the VX7 and VX8 around its RazorSafe replaceable blade system, but these knives push the design in a more everyday-carry direction. Both models use a flipper opening with a smooth bearing system. No spring assists the action, even though I got the impression it was a spring assist when I first opened the knife. The bearing is…
Altama introduces the Legacy trainer, an overlasted performance shoe that pairs an aggressive outsole with a protected IGNITE midsole for off-road speed and all-day wear. These shoes will be perfect for anyone who is on the move in demanding environments. A New Direction for Altama Trainers Altama is stepping into new territory with the Legacy trainer series. The company built the shoe from the ground up as a mission-focused trainer rather than a casual sneaker. The Legacy marks Altama’s first overlasted trainer design, which means the upper wraps fully around the midsole for better durability and structure. The shoe targets…
