As protests increasingly escalate into violent riots, defending oneself in the chaos becomes a risky proposition, especially when considering its legality. With that in mind, a Michigan lawmaker has introduced a measure that would protect Michigan residents from civil lawsuits when acting in self-defense to escape a violent riot. State law already protects those practicing self-defense from criminal liability, but State Sen. Jim Runestad’s measure would go even further. According to a news release from Michigan Senate Republicans, Senate Bill 500 would expand existing self-defense legal protections to include immunity from civil lawsuits, such as claims for property damage or personal…

I think Clay Fragulia, whom you’ll meet momentarily, says it best: “Hogs are the perfect big game animal. They’ve got everything, and the working man can go on a hog hunt once a year without breaking his wallet.”  Wild hogs are probably underrated as the ultimate big game animal. They’re cagey and smart.

One of the most common annoyances to me in any debate is the mad dash to take sides, followed by the demand that one side is entirely in the wrong while the other is without reproach. The truth, more often than not, is that both sides are right and wrong. Sometimes, however, they’re both flat out stupid. Welcome to Seattle, where a shortage of IQ recently led to a man in a wheelchair pulling a toy gun on a petulantly derranged leftist who promptly shot him in the chest. You may have heard about this on the news or read…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. On 14 August, a study was published by Pre-Prints, a platform that allows studies not yet peer-reviewed to be made publicly available. The paper has coined the term “Hybrid Harms Hypothesis” to describe the compounding effects of mRNA injections and coronavirus infections, where the mRNA “vaccines” and SARS-CoV-2 interact to produce a toxic synergy. The authors argue that mRNA injections deliver toxic spike protein, lipid nanoparticles, and DNA contaminants, which can cause chronic illness, sudden deaths, and excess mortality, and amplify the adverse effects of future SARS-CoV-2 encounters. The paper…

Veterans Affairs leaders are working with Medicare officials to cut down on duplicative billing for veterans medical services, but outside experts say fully fixing the problem will require better record-keeping and patient monitoring by both agencies. But that may be just the start. About 5.9 million veterans are dually enrolled in VA health care and Medicare, creating confusion in some instances regarding which government agency is responsible for covering the costs of appointments and medical procedures. RELATEDA new health care analysis released by the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute on Tuesday found that nearly 84% of the 8.2…

Russia’s wartime economy and relentless manpower advantage have turned the conflict into an unsustainable “meat grinder” for Ukraine, while U.S. funding faces growing public backlash. Putin demands Ukraine surrender all of Donetsk in…

This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute.  Most people accept the moral prohibitions on lying, murdering, and stealing in their personal lives as well as in their business affairs. Why, then, does government—which is run by people—get a pass? Is ethics irrelevant in government affairs? The answer is yes, because there is no one to hold the government accountable. By its nature as a state, it is above accountability. As Rothbard elaborately explained, the state is a criminal gang writ large, an organization not subject to its laws because of its monopoly of violence. Jefferson’s…

New weapons and improved technology are at the forefront of budget priorities for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, while the spending plans also seek to slash more than 5,700 civilian jobs and reduce contracting services through billions in spending cuts.The Air Force will begin procurement of Family Affordable Mass Missiles, or FAMM, a new type of cost-effective, subsonic cruise missile that can strike at long range and can be produced en masse. While the service has been fairly tight-lipped about the FAMM program so far, it is slated to get underway in fiscal 2026 alongside the development…
