This article was originally published by Christopher Day at The Mises Institute. Let us imagine for a moment that we are in a museum. In one wing, the great achievements of government intervention are shown: highways, dams, public schools, and countless other ingenious designs, organizations, and feats. Things that we use in our everyday lives, which, for better or worse, supposedly ensure the smooth flow of society. Plaques and posters on the walls of this wing boast of the millions of jobs and trillions of dollars created by the state, and list the many ways by which it has contributed…

KelTec has just announced the KP50, a 5.7x28mm braced pistol with a 50-round magazine.If there’s one thing you can expect from KelTec, it’s the unexpected, and the company’s latest oddball firearm is the KP50. It’s similar to their previous P50 design as they’re both chambered for 5.7x28mm and feed from 50-round P90 magazines, but the new KP50 has been improved in several ways.The first key improvement is that the magazines now insert from the bottom of the KP50 and they’re drop-free. The P50 had a top-loading design with a hinged upper that had to be lifted to insert it. Even…

In the summer of 1962, the United States carried out a secret test that could have changed the course of history. It was called Starfish Prime and it was part of a larger series of high-altitude nuclear experiments known as Operation Fishbowl. Most Americans have never heard of it. Yet the effects of that single explosion nearly pushed us into a future that would have looked like the end of the modern world. The worst part? This was not a battlefield strike, nor was it aimed at an enemy city. Actually, it was a high-altitude nuclear detonation, set off 250…
Vice President JD Vance — a Marine veteran of the Iraq War who has long been skeptical of American military interventions abroad — insisted Monday that the war with Iran is different because President Donald Trump “has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish.”“There’s just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective,” Vance said in a primetime interview with Fox News. His remarks were his first in public since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Saturday.“The president wants to make…
XTech Tactical did not just recently acquire Creature Grips. It fast-tracked the recently patented rail covers to market as the new Thru-Flo™ M-LOK rail covers.

A brand new lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA) has drawn support from several pro-gun rights organizations. On February 26, the Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA), American Suppressor Association Foundation (NSAF), Center for Human Liberty (CHL), Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), Meridian Ordnance and two individuals filed the lawsuit Roberts v. ATF with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The lawsuit challenges the NFA on the basis that, since President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill removed the $200 tax on suppressors and other NFA items, the tax law is now nothing more…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. The war with Iran that we have been waiting for is officially here. The U.S. and Israel are absolutely pummeling Iranian military targets, and in return, the Iranians are striking targets all over the Middle East. As you will see below, even a British military base in Cyprus has just been hit. I think that the Iranians were hoping that the unexpected nations that they are targeting would be so traumatized that they would beg the United States to stop the conflict, but instead, it seems like…
President Donald Trump, in his first public comments since unleashing Operation Epic Fury, defended U.S. military operations against Iran as necessary to “eliminate the grave threats posed to America.”The president, speaking Monday at a White House Medal of Honor ceremony recognizing American veterans from the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan, estimated the attacks on the Islamic Republic could last four to five weeks. But he insisted the U.S. has the capability to extend its bombardment far longer.Trump argued the operation was “our last best chance to strike” the Iranian regime, which he described as “sick and sinister.” The U.S. and…
