Over the past 5 months, I’ve been running, hiking, and living with the Speedgoat 7, the shoe that many runners recognize as a top choice for trail runners logging big miles. This long-term test proves that the ‘goat is, at least for cushion-forward trail runners, still the GOAT. In short: The HOKA Speedgoat 7 (men’s, women’s, $165) is a responsive yet protective trail running shoe with an extremely grippy outsole. It’s ideal for mid- to ultra-distance trail runs and races on moderately technical trails. It’s earned a spot at myriad starting lines and is worth considering for any serious trail…

The Trace exists not to cover gun news, as they claim, but to attack gun rights under the guise of unbiased journalism that simply focuses on guns. The fact that it’s run by a high-ranking Everytown official is plenty of reason to recognize that the guise is a lie, but the mainstream media has made it clear they don’t seem to care. And that bothers me, but not quite as much as the organization’s latest attempt to demonize the NRA.It’s one thing when the coverage is about mismanaging money by high-ranking officials. That’s a legitimate…

Many military families purchase pet insurance when their pet is young because premiums are often lower. Additionally, pre-existing conditions aren’t typically covered if they develop before enrollment. ADUs have quietly become one of the smartest affordability strategies for military homebuyers. A backyard cottage, an in-law suite, or an above-garage apartment can offset a chunk of your mortgage payment each month. But VA loan ADU rules aren’t always straightforward, and getting clear answers from lenders can be difficult. We’ll break it down in this article. Can You Buy a Home With an ADU Using a VA Loan? Yes, you can use…

An Indiana gun owner will not face charges after shooting and killing a man during a confrontation, after prosecutors determined the shots fired were in self-defense.  Hancock County Prosecutor Brent Eaton says the incident started when the driver of a Dodge Journey began closely following a Volkswagen Jetta. According to eyewitnesses, the Journey got to within a foot of the Jetta, and perhaps even as close as six inches from the rear bumper. When the two vehicles entered a construction zone, they slowed down and eventually stopped because of traffic. At that point the driver of…

When it comes to hot hatches, muscle cars, and performance sedans, no set of rims looks as cool as those red brake calipers, right? Well, brands don’t just pick the colors to give your wheels some visual flair. When it comes to Nissan, the colors are selected to signify braking performance level. Don’t get us wrong, they do look cool, but when you learn what the colors mean, you’ve got one more way to impress your gearhead friends. Nissan’s Five-Color Code Credit: Nissan Nissan fits its cars with one of five different colors; silver, yellow, red, bright red, and gold. Here’s…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  U.S. President Donald Trump launched an expletive-filled tirade against Iranian leaders during a recent Oval Office meeting, according to a person who heard the comments. The outburst, which included references to Iranian officials as “scumbags” and “lunatics,” reflected the president’s growing frustration as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fifth month with no resolution in sight. Trump had initially predicted the war would be over in weeks, but both a ceasefire announced in April and a memorandum of understanding in June have collapsed, according to reports [2][4]. President’s Expletive-Laden Tirade…

In his majority opinion in Heller, the late Justice Antonin Scalia encoded a concept of “in common use.” Basically, guns that are “in common use” for any lawful purpose cannot be banned or restricted to such a point that they’re unusable for those lawful purposes. Self-defense is the most cited lawful use, and some judges seem to think that’s the only one, but it’s not. It’s any lawful use. And, to be fair, in the here and now, the phrase “in common use” is a useful shield.However, there’s a perennial problem with the phrase, and…

Many types of resistance training exist that don’t require lifting weights. While weight training comes to mind first when you say, “resistance training,” you also have other ways to build muscle. Calisthenics, weight vests, rubber bands, isometrics and suspension trainers, such as the TRX, are all classified as resistance training. Here is an email from a veteran seeking training advice about building muscle on the far side of 40 years old: Stew, Army veteran and 44, wondering what you think I need to do to build muscle and strength: calisthenics or weight training? I am more of an endurance guy…

Like any backpacker, I try to cut weight from my pack where I can, but I draw the line at my sleep setup. I am not willing to sacrifice a good night’s sleep on trail for the sake of shaving off a few ounces. As a result, I’ve always shied away from ultralight mummy sleeping bags, preferring slightly roomier (and heavier) bags. And yet, after a week of backpacking in Oregon and sleeping in Therm-a-Rest’s Parsec 20 ($470) sleeping bag, I’ve reconsidered. This bag, which weighs just over 1 pound, shows that going ultralight doesn’t mean giving up comfort. A…

The Supreme Court generally doesn’t like to see appellate courts split on any given issue, since it can result in federal law being enforced in some parts of the country while being put on hold in other states. Still, SCOTUS left a circuit court split in place when it denied cert to five cases dealing with the right to acquire and the right to carry firearms by adults under the age of 21 at its final conference of last term.  The Fifth Circuit, for instance, has held that 18-to-20-year olds have the right to purchase…
