In March, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) celebrated a major milestone. It purchased 45 all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchairs so that everyone could get out and enjoy the outdoors. It was a huge step toward adaptive access to Indiana’s public lands and a major investment. Each chair is valued at nearly $20,000. On April 30, less than a month after the program launched, thieves broke into storage and stole two of these all-terrain wheelchairs. Indiana police are investigating the crime. They are currently seeking any leads that could help identify the perpetrators. GearJunkie reached out to Indiana DNR for comment,…
Russia has begun implementing border controls and other measures to keep hantavirus at bay. These precautions aim to prevent the potential spread of the deadly Andes hantavirus strain, the country’s public health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, has said. As a precaution, “Rospotrebnadzor – together with the Russian Border Service – has taken measures to strengthen border controls,” it said. Automated information systems are being used at the border to assess and minimize risks, it added, according to a report by RT. This current outbreak was discussed during a Rospotrebnadzor video conference on Tuesday, where the discussion centered on preventative measures. Hantaviruses are…
No matter how prepared you might be when you go camping, you’re still vulnerable in a tent, camper, or van. Hungry bears, hostile humans, and even flesh-eating zombies could be lurking. And a thin nylon wall or plywood siding isn’t going to stop them if they’re intent on getting to you. Camping shelters protect you from the elements, and that’s about it. Except for the Mammoth Overland Xtinction Level Escape (XLE) camper. This 18-foot, 4.2-inch, 4,300-pound behemoth tow-along trailer is complete with bulletproof glass, deployable flare guns, remote-activated “sonic defense” and “quad bear defense” systems, 360-degree night-vision CCTV, and much,…
Democrats in Massachusetts are scrambling for political cover after a repeat, violent felon managed to evade the state’s restrictive gun control laws and get his hands on a rifle this week, using it to fire dozens of rounds at motorists in Cambridge before he was stopped by an armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper. As the Gun Owners Action League reports, some Democrats are demanding new laws in response; not to make it easier for lawful citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights, but to make violent crime even more illegal. “The only law that…
Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay One Of The Greatest FPS Movie…
Hitch bike racks are arguably the easiest, safest way to transport bikes to a trailhead or campout. Based in Colorado, lead tester Eric Phillips has spent hundreds of hours testing five hitch racks with a variety of mountain bikes and electric bikes over the past six months including local circuits and a road trip to Utah. After thousands of hours of testing on racks since 2022, it’s clear that the 2-bike Küat Piston Pro X sets the bar among plush designs, with hydraulically actuated wheel clamps, LED lights, and robust security features. Meanwhile, the 2-bike Küat Piston Ion offers a 100-pound…
President Donald Trump’s feud with Pope Leo XIV has evolved beyond disagreements over Iran and military escalation into a broader ideological and political clash involving immigration, Catholic theology, humanitarian policy and growing tensions between the White House and the Vatican over the direction of U.S. foreign policy and moral leadership. The increasingly public dispute involving Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senior Vatican officials has transformed into one of the most consequential confrontations between a U.S. administration and the Catholic Church in years, forcing the White House into an increasingly delicate balancing act as the…
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate Democrat. She made a lot of campaign promises and has already turned her back on pretty much all of them. Rather than focusing on affordability, as she and her fellow Dems promised, they immediately went to work on gerrymandering the state and passing gun control. They gerrymandering thing blew up in their faces, but gun control? They can still do that, for now at least, and Spanberger took the last step on two controversial measures.That’s right, Virginia has an assault weapon ban and a magazine limit.irginia Gov.…
Armed Forces Day falls on the third Saturday of May every year, and it is the one day on the American calendar specifically set aside to honor the men and women currently serving in uniform — not veterans who have come home, not the fallen who gave everything, but the approximately 1.34 million active-duty service members on duty right now, stationed across six continents, doing the work while most of the country goes about its Saturday. For 2026, Armed Forces Day is Saturday, May 16. Most people could not tell you that. Armed Forces Day gets lost in the shadow…
Major revisions to the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a hallmark law of American conservation, were set to go before Congress for a vote this week. The bill would have changed the listing process for imperiled species and weakened several other aspects of the law. After major outcry from lawmakers and conservation nonprofits, House Speaker Mike Johnson unexpectedly pulled the bill from the floor. The Bill The ESA, passed in 1973, helps protect endangered or threatened species. Essentially, if a fish, wildlife, or plant is listed, its habitat is protected, and government agencies have to come up with recovery plans to…
Socialism is more properly defined as the people controlling all industry. In practice, though, it’s the government running everything and handing everything to the people based on their needs, taking from others according to what they have. So, when a politician says that we should give people housing, healthcare, and transportation in exchange for absolutely nothing, then they’re essentially talking about socialism, even if it’s a socialist framework existing within an otherwise free market system.We have a certain degree of that as it stands, with public housing, Section 8 rent payments, and Medicaid, but it…
Mauna Kea in Hawaii is a 14,000-foot peak, and it presents a massive challenge for cyclists who want to ride to its top. It is the longest gravel bike climb in the world, ascending 14,000 feet over 50-55 miles on roads, dirt, gravel, and volcanic ash. Professional cyclist Hannah Otto decided she wasn’t just going to summit the peak on her bike — she was going to do it faster than anyone else ever had. So, at the end of a long, busy, and very successful biking season, she packed her bags (and all of her bikes) and headed for Hawaii.…
Virginia Democrats approved more than twenty gun-related bills this session, and Gov. Abigail Spanberger has already signed off on most of those measures. Despite lawmakers rejecting her proposed changes to the “assault firearm” ban bill, I’m sure she’ll allow that gun and magazine ban to become law as well, and come July 1, Virginia gun owners are going to be subject to all kinds of new restrictions on their right to keep and bear arms. Anti-gunners aren’t satisfied, though. They’re already looking ahead to next session, and they’re already making duplicitous arguments about their gun…
A deported Army veteran’s case has triggered a congressional challenge in Georgia. A Navy veteran launched a political campaign after alleging a breakdown in due process for former service members.Tony Kozycki, a former naval officer and attorney, told Military.com the deportation of Army veteran Godfrey Wade pushed him to challenge Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), arguing the case exposes broader gaps in how non-citizen veterans are handled in the immigration system.Veterans who are lawful permanent residents can still face deportation, sometimes without fully contesting their cases in court.“What pushed me over the edge was the Godfrey Wade case,” Kozycki told Military.com…
Iran has allegedly fired upon three different ships in the Strait of Hormuz, not long after United States ruler Donald Trump announced an extension to the ceasefire. Trump Extends Ceasefire Citing A “Seriously Fractured Government” Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was bringing two ships to Iran after seizing them in the Strait of Hormuz, according to The Associated Press.

Democrats in the Connecticut House of Representatives gave their stamp of approval to a bill being pushed by Gov. Ned Lamont that would ban the sale of new Glocks and other striker-fired semi-automatic pistols that can be converted to full-auto through the illegal installation of a switch. Similar language has already been enshrined into law in California, and several other Democrat-run states, including Maryland, have taken aim at the popular pistols as well. Republican lawmakers in the Connecticut House tried to push back on the measure, but were simply outnumbered when it came time to count…

Many people mark the Columbine massacre as the start of the modern mass killing era. It was the first such massacre to take place during a 24-hour news cycle, which many believe may have fueled the countless copycat killings. Including a recent one in Mexico where the killer wasn’t hiding his “inspiration.”Rep. Ilhan Omar says she was impacted by Columbine, and while I missed it that day, it seems she took the opportunity, like so many others, to use the anniversary to call for gun controlThere’s just one problem.27 years since the Columbine High School…
