Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…
Tuesday was “crossover day” at the Virginia state capitol, which means any bill that didn’t pass out of its chamber of origin and cross over to the other side of the statehouse is officially dead for the session. As we previously reported, the “permit to purchase” measure that was being pushed by anti-gun Democrats is no longer a threat, though SB 643 is still a blatant attack on the 2A rights of young adults by prohibiting adults under-21 from purchasing handguns and “assault firearms”. The proposed 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition as well…

When I grew up, Minnesota was the kind of state where you figured nothing much happened. Sure, sports were a thing, obviously, but the Vikings couldn’t even win a Super Bowl–then again, neither can my Failcons, so who am I to judge–and it was just one of those states that was kind of there. These days, it’s the epicenter of pretty much everything wrong with this country. If you need violence to break out anywhere, it’ll probably start in Minnesota.And as they start their legislative session there, it seems that the main focuses are going…
Most TTAG readers likely know U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, as a vehemently anti-gun lawmaker who is famous for her nonsensical comments and greatly inflated sense of self-importance. That extremely high level of conceit has led Crockett to run for the state Senate in the Lone Star State, where the majority of voters have little patience for idiots or gun-grabbers. Now, just months before the Senate election, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is pointing out Rep. Crockett’s hypocrisy on firearms, including the extremely exorbitant amount of money she spends on her personal armed security. According to a news report by…
Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…
The United States has threatened Iran with an armada of ships much larger than what it sent to Venezuela. The Iranian ruling class responded, saying that it has its “finger on the trigger” and was ready to fend off both U.S. and Israeli aggression. Earlier this month, Trump reportedly came close to ordering strikes on Iranian targets in response to a violent crackdown on anti-government protests that left thousands dead, according to a number of human rights groups. While he delayed that decision, military assets have continued to flow to the region, accoridng to a report by RT. “We have…

A broad coalition of 2A groups including Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, along with Gun Owners Action League and Commonwealth Second Amendment are challenging the Massachusetts law preventing adults younger than 21 from possessing or carrying handguns and ‘large capacity’ semi-automatic firearms. Massachusetts has asked a judge to dismiss the case at the outset, and this week the plaintiffs filed their reply brief in Escher v. Noble, arguing that the state’s ” arguments in favor of its Ban on 18-to-20-year-olds acquiring many of the most common arms…
Twenty-five years is a long time to wait, but that’s how long it’s taken for Honda to finally bring back the once-iconic Prelude. Though it may boast a newer, more curvaceous design than the last coupe to make it into U.S. showrooms, the 2026 Honda Prelude doesn’t stray far from its roots as a grand tourer. But there are some key differences, starting with the automaker’s decision to go with a hybrid drivetrain this time. Only one well-equipped version of the new Prelude will be offered, and potential buyers shouldn’t worry. While the gas-electric drivetrain does deliver some impressive fuel economy,…
The protesting in Minneapolis is not a great thing for anyone, contrary to what some might think. Alex Pretti’s death was just the latest incident where someone who was involved ended up being killed by federal agents, though it’s the less clear-cut case of a justifiable shooting. What’s clear, though, is that this is a very organized effort. The Signal chat that was used for coordination was exposed as involving none other than the LT. Governor of Minnesota, among others, and it illustrated just how coordinated it was.For most of us, this is a little…

If Alex Vindman clinches the Democratic nomination, he’ll challenge Republican Sen.…
This article was originally published by Joseph Solis-Mullen at The Mises Institute under the title: On the Failure of Constitutionalism Through the Ages: Norms, Emergencies, and the Administrative State Classical liberals, as well as some libertarians, have long placed great faith in constitutions as instruments capable of restraining political power. Particularly following the Renaissance and Enlightenment, written constitutions began to be celebrated by limited government political theorists as rational devices designed to bind rulers, limit coercion, and protect liberty through clearly-enumerated rules. Yet a persistent strain of skepticism—articulated most sharply by thinkers such as Murray Rothbard and Ralph Raico—has questioned whether…
On the SHOT Show floor, Bond Arms shared a collaborative suppressor project started by Third Echelon Development. Third Echelon has taken a bold leap in attempting to make a dual bore suppressor for Bond’s 9mm derringer. Instead of relying on a removable mount, this design integrates directly with a proprietary barrel developed by Bond. Wipe Baffle System This suppressor uses a wipe-based baffel system. Two removable pins retain the wipes inside the body, and the wipes seal each chamber as the bullet passes through. That sealing effect optimizes sound reduction while keeping the overall length short (just over 4”). The…

Having experienced homelessness, Army veteran Chad King was searching for a way to help other veterans struggling to find affordable housing and benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs. He came up with a solution – Chief Bud – an AI assistant built to help veterans learn and apply for VA resources. King, a graduate student at DePaul University in Chicago, served in the Army for seven years, forging a brotherhood with his fellow comrades. “There are 18 million veterans in the United States, and I feel a connection to all those people,” King told The DePaulia, the university’s student newspaper. King, who…
