Those planning to visit U.S. national parks from outside the country will have to pay stiffer fees in 2026. New rules announced Tuesday, Nov. 25, will require an additional $100 for non-U.S. residents entering 11 of the country’s most popular national parks. The fee will be charged in addition to the standard park entrance fee. The higher fee will apply to the following national parks: Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion. International tourists will also face increased prices for annual passes. Currently, anyone can purchase an America the…
The permit-to-carry fee nullification movement has been sweeping across the Garden State. On Tuesday November 25, Howell, N.J. passed a fee rebate resolution, making it a dozen. On June 11, 2025 a shot heard across the Garden State was fired. Englishtown, N.J. passed a first-in-the-nation resolution that stated a state’s permit-to-carry fee is unconstitutional. Their action made it so that citizens can get a rebate of the municipal portion of their permit-to-carry fees, $150.00. Since then, 11 other towns have joined them. Howell, in Monmouth County and only three towns away from Englishtown, passed a…
There aren’t many things that can shake a lifelong 2A believer but Joe Rogan might’ve finally found one. After listening to filmmaker Dan Farah break down the Age of Disclosure documentary, Rogan didn’t just tiptoe into the UFO topic… he went full send. And the picture they painted is wild enough to make even the most hardcore prepper sit back and go, “Okay… what are my guns actually gonna do against that?” Let’s be clear: this isn’t little green men in shiny silver saucers. They’re talking about football-field-sized craft, silent, windowless, hovering over Vandenberg Air Force Base before shooting off…
The United States Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has warned Ukraine that its defeat is “imminent.” Driscoll urged Kiev to accept a U.S.-drafted peace deal before its position deteriorates further, NBC News reported on Tuesday, citing people briefed on the talks. Russia has long maintained that Ukraine cannot win this war and that aid from the West will only prolong Kiev’s inevitable loss. Russian forces have been pressing forward in the war, going on the offensive recently in Donbass and elsewhere while Ukraine complains about a lack of money, weapons, and human cannon fodder. Russia’s Lavrov Says The West Has Decided…
The outdoor industry has been grappling with its use of PFAS — so-called forever chemicals — for years. As their toxic effects on wildlife and humans became more widely understood, conservation groups and customers pushed brands to eliminate these chemicals, which are often found in items like waterproof jackets. And now there’s a new potential source of PFAS in nature to contend with. This month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the use of isocycloseram, a compound classified along with other forever chemicals, for use as a pesticide on crops. What Are PFAS? PFAS are a kind of manmade chemical.…
Artificial intelligence, no matter how much the term doesn’t really apply to what we call AI, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. For better or worse, it’s part of our lives now, and it’s up to us to try to figure out where it fits in. And it’s an interesting tool, to say the least. I’ve gotten a kick out of using it at times, though I’ve also seen where it gets a whole lot wrong and is less than trustworthy.But Frank Miniter over at America’s 1st Freedom did something interesting. He asked ChatGPT how to…
Two major gun-rights groups have filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts to strike down the state’s restriction on the possession and carry of semi-automatic firearms and handguns by law-abiding adults under 21 years of age. For a Massachusetts resident to purchase or possess a firearm, they must first acquire one of two licenses: a firearm identification card or a license to carry. Only the identification card is available for adults who are 18-20 years old, however, and even with that license, it only allows residents in this age group to purchase and possess “…rifles…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who heads up the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, has already taken an active role in challenging infringements on our Second Amendment rights, but the Division looks to be expanding its 2A footprint even further. According to a report by Reuters, the Civil Rights Division is opening up a new office that’s dedicated exclusively to defending our right to keep and bear arms from government intrusion. The office, called the Second Amendment Rights Section, expects to open on December 4 and will be dedicated to investigating local laws or policies limiting gun…
This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. Or, at least—according to Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management—the Department of Government Efficiency “doesn’t exist” anymore as a centralized entity, despite having eight months left on its official mandate. Some key DOGE figures have left government entirely, while others have relocated to other executive departments. This has led many to declare this the death of DOGE and label the project an abject failure. Some proponents have pushed back against this characterization, arguing that the work of DOGE is continuing and that a transition from a…
A task force put together by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to look for ways to reduce “gun violence” has issued a laundry list of recommendations, and a ban on the possession and sale of “assault weapons” is front and center in its proposal. The task force, which includes longtime gun control supporters like Dr. April Zeoli, Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller, and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, is calling on lawmakers in Michigan to adopt eight other new gun control measures besides the “assault weapon” ban. Requiring waiting periods for all firearm purchasesIncreasing the age of…

With many in both the Democratic party and the so-called “mainstream” media lamenting the fact that male voters are vacating left-leaning party in droves, one major gun-rights organizations is giving the hand-wringers a little much-needed advice. According to a Reuters Report, Democrats are searching for a solution to their young male problem. “The Democratic Party has made no secret of the need to reconnect with young male voters, a demographic that drifted toward Republican Donald Trump in the last U.S. presidential election and will be key in the 2026 midterms,” the report stated. “But a year before the elections that…
For over a century, Buck Knives has been part of our heritage. From farmers working their fields, to soldiers fighting on the front lines, and folks like you and me wandering around in the woods, a Buck knife is part of those stories. However, as someone who writes about knives, this is the first time Buck has been part of a story I’ve written. At the end of October, Buck sent me some knives from its new Range series. What’s significant about these knives is that it’s the first time Buck has used the crossbar lock on its American-made folders.…
Just when it feels like the SIG P320 controversy might finally quiet down, something new jumps out of the bushes. This time, Washington Gun Law’s William Kirk is back with a look at one of the strangest chapters yet: an alleged unintentional discharge caught on video outside the USAA Insurance campus in San Antonio, Texas. Yep, actual video. No reenactments. No “a guy told a guy.” This one is right there on camera for everyone to dissect. Kirk walks through the footage of Charles Surles, a USAA security guard, who was stepping out of his guard booth on March 18,…
I’ve run a handful of ultramarathons, and while I’m far from the most experienced guy on the starting line, I’ve noted some common threads from races and conversations with many runners. Each ultramarathon is a unique journey into an abyss of pain, suffering, and uncertainty. But when running an ultramarathon, defined as running more than 26 miles in one go, you can expect to touch on these “stages of suffering.” Note: This story will help prepare you for the mental and emotional aspects of an ultra. But, you’ll also need the proper equipment. Check out our picks for the Best…
The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge to the federal statute prohibiting illegal aliens from possessing firearms, but did not take action on two other cert petitions dealing with gun bans for those convicted of crimes punishable by more than a year in prison. The Court denied cert, without comment, to Carbajal-Flores v. United States in its orders list released on Monday morning. That case, along with Vincent v. Bondi and Duarte v. U.S., were all heard during the justice’s conference last Thursday. In Carbajal-Flores, the Court was asked to consider whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which…
San Antonio, Texas (November 24, 2025) – J.P. Sauer & Sohn and Field Ethos introduce their latest collaboration – a limited-edition Sauer in 9.3×62 named The Exception. This adventure rifle is designed for the most challenging hunting adventures. It is the ultimate ‘working man’s adventure rifle’ and an exceptional value.

The caliber’s versatility made it an easy choice for The Exception. The Exception is designed…
If you ranked weight-lifting events, the bench press would be by far the most popular in many groups who lift. For powerlifters, bodybuilders, athletes and young teens getting started with their fitness, the bench press is easy to learn and relatively safe, and it offers the conversation starter between many lifters of, “How much do you bench?”When bench pressing, it is easy to lose your spot on the bench if you take too long between sets in a crowded gym. If you do bench press at home or when the gym is not crowded, you can try all the combinations…
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of social media app Telegram, says that France could be involved in the murder of infamous United States Christian Nationalist and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Durov claimed that Kirk’s assassin had trained with the French Legion. Durov, who is a Russian tech entrepreneur, was commenting on right-wing commentator Candace Owens’ claims that Kirk’s assassin “trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement.” In the same X post, shared on Friday, Owens said she had been warned by a high-ranking official that French President Emmanuel Macron had “authorized professional units” to carry out…
There are plenty of things you expect to fight offshore: Wind. waves, the occasional bout of seasickness. But your own balance should not be one of them. The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around. Before testing it, I figured this might be one of those high-tech features that sounds good on paper but doesn’t change much in practice. I mean, they’ve been putting gyroscopes on boats since the late 1800s. How much different could the DG3 really be? I decided to join…
The Bloomberg-backed website The Trace has once again partnered with Rolling Stone on a hit piece designed to portray the firearms industry in the worst light possible. The headline of the piece promises to reveal “The Gun Industry’s Digital Tricks to Make Buying Guns a Habit,” but the big problem for the anti-gun reporters is that there’s just no “there” there. The Trace got ahold of a May, 2024 marketing webinar from Guns.com’s digital marketing director Will Altherr. If you’ve ever been involved in retail sales or e-commerce, Altherr’s recommendations won’t strike you as unusual,…
