The Nissan Sentra has been a steadfast sedan offering for 43 years. In fact, Nissan has sold some 6.5 million Sentras over nine generations since 1982. Fast forward to the present, and sedans of all sizes seem to be losing popularity in favor of endless hordes of crossovers. Nissan even axed its own Maxima sedan in 2023, and there’s a good chance the Altima and Versa won’t reappear for 2026. But, flying in the face of this sedan slaughtering, Nissan says it expects the compact sedan market to grow through fiscal year 2030. In terms of sedan sales, Nissan will…
I’m of the opinion that if someone is too dangerous to be trusted with their gun rights, they’re too dangerous to be walking among the rest of us. After all, violent people don’t need guns to kill others, so why are you letting them hobnob with the rest of us if they’re that dangerous even today? But the law sees it differently, and worse than that, it also keeps non-violent felons disarmed, even though their crimes had nothing at all to do with violence in the first place, and there’s usually no evidence they’ll become…
If you’re an avid whitewater kayaker, take note: Werner Paddles is recalling two of its latest kayak paddles. The paddles may break, posing a risk of drowning. On Nov. 9, Werner Paddles posted a notification that it’s recalling its Covert and Stealth downriver whitewater racing models of kayak paddles. The brand says, “We have identified an issue with the collar of the paddle where the blade meets the shaft.” Basically, the blade can break off from the shaft. GearJunkie confirmed with a Werner team paddler that this issue is due to a problem with the mold and is being addressed…
The Senate reached a tentative agreement to re-open the federal government late on Sunday evening, and if the House concurs with the package approved by the upper chamber the Schumer Shutdown could be over in a matter of days. Once the shutdown is over the House is expected to return to regular business, and that includes a potential floor vote on HR 38, the “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025” that was placed on the House calendar just before the shutdown began. Under the bill, which currently has 189 sponsors, “a person who is not…
United States President Donald Trump has promised every single American, except those who are “high income”, a $2000 tariff dividend. This dividend would be funded by his tariff policies and is currently under review for “legality” by the Supreme Court. “A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” the ruler added, insisting that the policy is contributing “trillions of dollars” to the U.S. budget and will help reduce the nation’s $38 trillion national debt. The tariffs are also…
Years ago, when I was in college, I worked at The North Face (TNF) store in Boulder, Colo. As employees, we had a 50% discount on gear, so naturally, every payday, I would give my entire paycheck back to the company, buying rain jackets, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags that would last me for years to come. One of the most useful and bombproof pieces I acquired during that time was my blue, size medium, Base Camp Duffel. That bag has traveled the world with me. It carried my belongings when I moved to Perth, Australia. It’s been to Costa…
This article was originally published by Patrick Lewis at Natural News. Israel carried out multiple airstrikes across southern Lebanon, including Kfar Dounin in Bint Jbeil, targeting locations linked to Hezbollah’s military infrastructure and efforts to rebuild its capabilities. Residents near the targeted sites, including a residential building close to a Lebanese army site, were instructed to evacuate at least 500 meters away for safety. This marked the fourth evacuation order within two hours. Hezbollah reaffirmed its commitment to remain on Lebanese territory, asserting its “legitimate right to resist occupation,” and rejected US calls for direct negotiations with Israel, calling them…
Virginia Democrats sure didn’t wait long.It was obvious from the jump that as soon as the election results were in, gun control was going to be on the agenda in the Old Dominion state. It was always going to happen, which is why that election was so important. But just days after their win, Democrats in the state are coming right out and saying that we were all right.State Senator Creigh Deeds said there is a lot of work to get done between now and the next session, and their priority is making sure they build…

Another electric off-roader has joined the party. It’s not exactly a brand you’d traditionally think of when it comes to hitting the trail, but Volvo’s latest wants to tackle terrain that’s a little tougher than your typical compact crossover can handle. The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is the first electric to get the Swedish car company’s CC badge, and it comes with some upgrades that will be useful the next time you need to hit a gravel road, along with rugged-looking design details. Volvo EX30 Cross Country Doubles Your Choices for Small Rough-Road EVs (Photo/Volvo) Rugged crossovers are as common…
Louis McWilliams was on his way to a business meeting back in April when he was pulled over a police officer in Chicago for a missing front license plate. The 46-year-old small business owner informed the officer that he was lawfully carrying his firearm, as he’s required to do under Illinois law, and even presented his concealed carry license to the officer. The officer, however, told McWilliams that his concealed carry license didn’t show up in the Illinois database known as LEADS, and the legally-armed citizen was arrested and charged with two felonies for supposedly…
SIG Sauer is firing back after New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin (D) filed a complaint against the company, alleging safety issues with its popular P320 pistol. In a statement released October 17, SIG Sauer called the complaint “false and unsubstantiated,” and said the Attorney General’s claims misrepresent both military testing and federal safety standards. AG Platkin asserted that the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) program deemed the P320 unsafe without a manual safety and rejected SIG’s bid. SIG Sauer directly refuted that, noting the MHS program required all entries to include manual safeties and that any firearm deemed…
When the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hoody ($380) first launched 13 years ago, it redefined what an ultralight down jacket could be. At just over half a pound, it quickly became the go-to layer for ounce-counters and alpine minimalists — including GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold, who first tested the icon in 2013. Over the years, he took it from ice climbs around Lake Superior to winter bike commutes on a studded-tire fixie and was impressed with how well it performed during high-output activities and across seasons. Today, with dozens of rivals in the ultralight category, it’s fair to ask: Does…
It’s always more than a little funny to see people claim that the Second Amendment isn’t treated like a second-class right, even as they support a ban on long gun sales for adults under 21, among other measures. We don’t restrict other rights quite the same way. It’s one thing to have a parent come down on what their minor offspring says, or to tell them what faith they must follow while living in their home, but it’s something else when an adult under the age of 21 is restricted from exercising their constitutionally protected…
The Supreme Court has granted cert to a second case dealing with Second Amendment issues this term; this one dealing with the federal prohibition on gun ownership for “unlawful” users of drugs. The justices have been considering five cases involving Section 922(g)(3) in conference, but only granted cert in Hemani v. United States, which was the case the Department of Justice and Solicitor General D. John Sauer had been pressing the Court to take as a vehicle to decide the constitutionality of the federal statute. Unlike other cases like Daniels v. United States, which revolve around…
Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson said that NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) members should prepare their citizens for “war mode.” Jonson said that the possibility of a war with Russia is still on the table. Jonson told RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND), as reported by RT, in an interview published on Sunday. “To preserve peace, we must prepare ourselves both mentally and militarily for the possibility of war,” the official said. “A change in mentality is necessary: We must switch to war mode to resolutely deter, defend, and preserve the peace.” Moscow has long viewed the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war aimed…
After last week ordering the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) to turn their membership lists over to the federal government as part of a court ruling, a U.S. District Court has now vacated that order. The case, Reese v. ATF, challenges the federal law that prevents licensed firearm dealers from selling or transferring handguns to adults under 21. The original judgment limited the organizational relief to individuals who were members of the plaintiff organizations as of the filing of the case, and who were located within the geographical bounds of the 5th Circuit (Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana).…
Today is the last day for the public to comment on the Department of Justice’s proposed rule that would allow prohibited persons to petition the Attorney General to have their Second Amendment rights restored, and if you haven’t submitted your comment you can do so here. The DOJ’s proposal has been generally been greeted with enthusiasm by Second Amendment groups, but as we wrote back in July, when the rule was first introduced, there are some areas of concern. My biggest issues with the proposed rule, as written are that 1) a lack of a fixed…
By Jack Oller What does the consumer get when purchasing a new, modern-production shotgun? The answer became apparent after firing a few rounds of skeet to test the TriStar Raptor II. My shooting partner brought a 1970s-era Browning Auto-5, so we inevitably compared the two for function.The Auto-5 is, of course, the more desirable of the two among collectors, and it’s not really in the same class as the Raptor II, though both are semiautomatic field shotguns. However, the comparison highlighted the advancements in features and functions of modern shotguns.The TriStar Raptor II may appear similar to the…
This article was originally published by Lipton Matthews at The Mises Institute. Donald Trump has been criticized heavily for cutting federal funding of science. Opponents claim that his decision threatens to undermine American innovation, weaken the nation’s economy, and diminish its global influence. Yet the assumption behind these complaints is rarely examined. It is taken for granted that the government must play a central role in supporting science if society is to progress. A closer inspection of historical experience, economic reasoning, and the actual dynamics of research reveals that this assumption is false. Innovation has flourished without state patronage, and government…
I really do try to understand where people are coming from politically. I think it helps me with trying to break down their arguments and address their points in a somewhat reasonable manner. I can’t, however, get into the heads of people who are so anti-ICE that they’re ready to inflict violence on them.It’s one thing to oppose the current immigration laws or to think that the way ICE addresses illegal immigration is too much, but violence? To say that’s a little excessive is putting it a bit mildly.What’s really amusing is how many of…
