Previously, residents were unable to display Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving, according to Task & Purpose reporting.RELATEDThe letter first publicly circulated on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page. Military Times confirmed the letter’s…

We reported last year how the misnamed anti-gun group Everytown For Gun Safety encouraged its members to argue about guns at their family Thanksgiving dinner. Well, apparently those arguments didn’t convert enough 2A supporters to Everytown members, as the group, which has never seen a gun-ban proposal it didn’t support, is again encouraging members to be combative on the day set aside to give thanks. I’m sure many of your families are like mine, with far more gun supporters than gun-control advocates. In fact, In fact, with three generations of concealed carry practitioners gathered around the family table for Thanksgiving…

The U.S. Coast Guard is poised to change some of its language and policies surrounding the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses as well as how personnel report hate incidents.A Coast Guard message in 2020 from then-Commandant Karl Schultz said symbols like swastikas and nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred” and called their display “a potential hate incident.” The Coast Guard policy dated this month calls those same symbols “potentially divisive.”The new policy maintains a yearslong prohibition on publicly displaying the Confederate flag outside of a handful of situations, such as educational or historical settings. However,…

This article was originally published by Ramon Tomey at Natural News.  The CDC quietly updated its website to acknowledge that studies “have not ruled out the possibility” that infant vaccines contribute to autism, contradicting its previous blanket claim that “vaccines do not cause autism.” Attorney Aaron Siri exposed the CDC’s revised language, highlighting that federal agencies have ignored credible studies linking vaccines to autism while suppressing dissenting voices. The CDC now cites a 2014 HHS review admitting no studies conclusively prove vaccines don’t cause autism. The CDC referenced a 2010 study showing a three-fold increase in autism reports among newborns…

On Wednesday the Trump Administration resurrected a policy to overhaul the Endangered Species Act that many in the hunting and fishing community say not only further imperils sensitive species, but could also lead to more regulation. The proposal comes with four major changes to the current ESA including requiring the government to consider the economic impact of listing a species, lessening reliance on future effects like climate change, and removing blanket protections for threatened species. “We are moving away from good…

Navigating suppressor laws across the United States feels like playing a board game where every state wrote different rules. Federal law establishes the baseline through the National Firearms Act, but state legislatures have layered on enough variations, exceptions, and outright prohibitions to confuse even experienced attorneys. I’ve spent enough time researching these laws for my own travel and hunting that I can tell you the complexity isn’t theoretical. It’s the difference between a legal hunting trip and a felony charge. This snapshot reflects the legal landscape as of early 2025. Laws change, sometimes rapidly, and what’s accurate today might be…

Democratic representatives released a video on social media on Tuesday pleading with service members and intelligence officers to reject illegal orders amid ongoing U.S. military strikes against alleged-drug carrying vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.These representatives — who all served in the military or intelligence community — said that the Trump administration was pitting the military and intelligence community against American citizens.“You must refuse illegal orders,” representatives said in the video. “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”Lawmakers cited the requirement to protect and defend the constitution, which they said was…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA couple of weeks ago, I asked the Mind4Survival Facebook group a simple question: “If you could pressure-test one part of your plan this weekend, what would it be?” The answers came from several members of the Mind4Survival Facebook group—people just like you. They were all honest and thoughtful responses about the gaps they wanted to close. Four of their responses stood out, and they inspired a list of simple, effective tests you can run this weekend to strengthen your own plans. TL;DR: Test your preparedness plan by running a simple drill this weekend…

Whether they’re feasting in dining halls, aboard ships, or at remote outposts, troops around the world are set to receive their Thanksgiving meals as 152,626 pounds of turkey have already arrived at their designated overseas locations, along with beef, ham, shrimp and the fixings, according to the Defense Logistics Agency. Even with the shorter timeline, that includes service members on board about a dozen ships participating in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific in their “Southern Spear” operation against drug cartels, which began a few months ago.The planning for the worldwide holiday food deliveries begins in the spring, when the…

Google CEO  Sundar Pichai has warned people against “blindly” trusting artificial intelligence. Pichai stated that the AI engines remain vulnerable in terms of factual accuracy and cannot be fully trusted. In an interview with the BBC, which aired on Tuesday, Pichai urged users to rely on a broad range of search tools rather than depending solely on artificial intelligence. AI tools are helpful “if you want to creatively write something,” but users “have to learn to use these tools for what they’re good at, and not blindly trust everything they say,” Pichai said. “The current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.”…

The Bond Arms BullPup9 is one of the most mechanically unusual, historically interesting, and unexpectedly refined pistols to hit the concealed-carry world in the last two decades. In a market saturated with polymer-frame micro-compacts that all follow the same basic formula, the BullPup9 is the firearm equivalent of a gifted nonconformist — it knows the rules, understands the rules, and confidently decides it can design a better set of rules. This handgun doesn’t just shrink typical 9mm architecture — it reimagines it from the inside out. Its origins lie not in a corporate design committee but in the mind of…

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to extend benefits through 2028 to veteran caregivers who faced removal from a VA program that provides them health care and compensation. The VA announced Thursday that ‘legacy’ participants of the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers — those who had applied before and were accepted after Oct. 1, 2020 and those who were enrolled before that date — will remain in the program through Sept. 30, 2028. VA officials had said in May that it planned to extend the deadline; Thursday’s announcement cemented the plan. “Legacy caregivers have helped shape VA’s Caregiver…

UNLESS YOU CONSIDER the impenetrable 30 acres of head-high cattails in the old oxbow slough, the wildest part of this working alfalfa field is the stand of green ash and slag-bark cottonwood trees on its east side. I don’t go into this treeline much except to hunt for shed antlers or to push out the neighbor’s cows — or, every few years, to consider hanging a treestand. To call it woods is to exaggerate its size and density, but it’s always…

A Ukrainian plot to assassinate a senior Russian military officer has been foiled. According to the agency’s branch in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the plan included using beer contaminated with a powerful British-made chemical weapon. The Federal Security Service (FSB) said that the scheme was organized by Ukraine’s military intelligence service, the HUR, which allegedly identified the target through a fabricated online persona. It used a young woman calling herself “Polina,” and FSB investigators believe the photos and videos used to establish the relationship were produced with AI and circulated for months to build the assassination target’s trust. According to…
