The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has launched an experimental Arctic drone task force expanding its military presence in the region. The United States-led bloc has consistently cited an alleged Russian threat to justify its Arctic buildup. According to a report by RT, this latest NATO initiative was unveiled over the weekend as the research vessel Alliance departed La Spezia, Italy, launching Task Force X-Arctic (TFX-Arctic). The experimental unit is set to operate through 2026 and into next year, with the stated aim of demonstrating how uncrewed systems can provide persistent multi-domain situational awareness across the North Atlantic, the Arctic, and the…
We sped down Cement Creek Road between 11,000-foot Cement Mountain and Red Mountain’s ridge. The sun was setting on our double-track return. For the first time on our ride, I easily rolled at a faster clip than my e-bike partner, Dane Tudor. He was on a full suspension e-MTB, while I was testing the updated Aventon Ramblas ADV hardtail e-mountain bike. Clearly, this playful, nimble hardtail design is made to transfer power to the ground. The tread pattern enables the bike to roll quickly and efficiently: Maxxis Rekon tires utilize a tightly spaced, ramped center tread. The design minimizes resistance,…
As we’ve long seen, Floridians aren’t anti-gun. In fact, they removed a number of lawmakers who voted for the post-Parkland gun control measures, and they continue to push for a restoration of their gun rights. In fact, they’ve made some pretty good strides. Unfortunately, those post-Parkland measures are still in place. While Gov. Ron DeSantis has been pretty pro-gun, it’s been Attorney General James Uthmeier who has made a lot of the recent pro-gun moves.His latest has been to say that the state’s three-day waiting period is unconstitutional and is settling a lawsuit that challenged…
Last fall, a few Japanese automakers started looking into the possibility of importing some of their American-made vehicles into Japan. Seemingly the reason behind this wasn’t just to sell more cars, but also to potentially improve relations with the US, and particularly the Trump administration, to potentially ease tariffs on Japan’s exports. Some automakers have begun to follow through on those plans, particularly Toyota, as it and its subsidiary Subaru may bring two more models to Japanese customers. The Biggest Comes From Subaru Credit: Subaru At first blush, it seems a little strange that, of all the models Subaru could sell…
The Rossignol Alltrack 130 Elite LV LT is a bold new entrant in the “downhill-first hybrid” category. After a season of test laps at several Colorado ski resorts, I found that this ski boot is designed for aggressive expert skiers who primarily ride lifts but want the freedom to step beyond the boundary rope for short tours or sidecountry adventures. With a 98mm last, 130 flex, and neon pastel colors, it’s unapologetically performance-oriented. The set targets advanced to expert skiers, and it prioritizes precision and responsiveness over gram-counting for long tours. In short: The Rossignol Alltrack 130 Elite LV LT…
The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is putting the city of Philadelphia on notice over allegations that carry permits are being revoked without cause In a letter to Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warned that DOJ is commencing an investigation into the city and the Philly police over “possible violations of the Violent Crime Control and LawEnforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 12601, which prohibits state and local governments from engaging in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives individuals of rights protected by…
Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” initiative has received a lot of the credit for the city’s dramatic plunge in violent crime over the past few years, but now one man tasked with making city streets safer is accused of adding to the violence in Charm City. 51-year-old Antoine Burton was arrested and charged with one count of attempted murder on Sunday night after police responded to reports fo shots fired in the northwest part of the city. Northern District police officers were patrolling in the Central Park Heights neighborhood around 7:25 p.m. Sunday when they heard gunshots near…
TOKYO (AP) — Chinese and North Korean state-run media this week devoted thousands of words to Xi Jinping ‘s summit with Kim Jong Un, but made no mention of a key matter for Washington: the North’s steadfast pursuit of nuclear weapons that could threaten the United States and its allies in Asia. The silence says more than reams of the carefully framed propaganda. Until disarmament talks finally fell apart in 2019, Washington and Beijing were yearslong partners in diplomacy seeking to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions in return for much-needed aid and political recognition. Beijing routinely called…
This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News. A major new Pew Research Center poll shows that in 32 out of 36 countries surveyed, the majority of people now view Israel unfavorably. On average, 67% of adults across these nations hold negative opinions, with only 25% having a positive view. This marks a sharp and historic decline in Israel’s global reputation. The most intense negative feelings come from countries like Turkey (97% unfavorable), Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. But the shift is also dramatic in Western nations that have long been Israel’s closest allies. For example, unfavorable views…

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May to honor Americans who died in military service. It began as Decoration Day, a post-Civil War tradition of placing flowers on soldiers’ graves. The man who formalized that tradition into a national observance was Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, a Union commander who fought in eight major campaigns, took over an army on the battlefield after its general was killed and went from defending slavery in Congress to voting for the Constitutional amendments that ended it. He left the war as one of the Union’s most successful…

“There he is, in the neighbors’ trash again,” I groaned to my wife about our yellow lab. He’d just run half a mile to the nearest neighbor to investigate their trash. Frustrated by his insistence on leaving our property, I ordered the SpotOn NOVA GPS Fence, and he hasn’t left since (as long as I remember to put the collar on him). He’s a different dog, thanks to this GPS fence. We have two labs, a chocolate and a yellow. The yellow generally leads our chocolate lab off of our 60 acres for hours at a time. It’s typically not…
Illegal aliens are still being rounded up by the Trump administration, and they’re largely being found in so-called sanctuary cities. Minneapolis, the epicenter of much of the outrage about the round-ups, is a prime example. If illegal aliens were handed over to ICE when caught by the local authorities, ICE wouldn’t have needed to swarm entire neighborhoods. But the truth is that sanctuary cities of various types have a long history in this country, and it wasn’t a problem for your average anti-gunner until very recently.Researchers have identified 350 to 400 cities that have implemented…
