This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. Imagine a world where the most powerful men — presidents, billionaires, intelligence operatives, royal families — are not just accused of unspeakable crimes but proven to be complicit in them. A world where the justice system, instead of protecting the innocent, shields the guilty behind layers of bureaucracy and red tape. That world isn’t fiction. It’s the one we’ve been living in since Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, his suspiciously timed death, and the subsequent whitewashing of his crimes by the very institutions sworn to uphold the law. Now, as the…

How distorted data continues to shape bad policy.If there’s one thing the gun debate desperately needs, it’s clarity. Not more shouting, not more spin—just facts. That’s why I invited Guy Smith, founder of Gun Facts and author of Guns and Control: A Nonpartisan Guide to Understanding Mass Public Shootings, Gun Accidents, Crime, Public Carry, Suicides, Defensive Use, and More onto Forge of Freedom for a recent conversation (Episode 181). What followed was an eye-opening, no-nonsense discussion about firearms, public safety and how distorted data continues to shape bad policy.Smith isn’t your typical gun rights advocate. He describes himself as “an…

It’s no secret that I’m a Smith & Wesson fan. I’ve enjoyed excellent results with dozens of their revolvers and semi-autos for more than fifty years. While I own several older models that have served me well, my carry choices today lean toward modern designs that outclass their predecessors. For example, the Smith & Wesson Ultimate Carry 442 outperforms all of my older snub-nose .38s. The S&W 640 Pro Performance Center .357 Magnum is another standout, combining classic revolver reliability with modern refinements. Interestingly, a few of the handguns that have earned a permanent spot on my belt feature compensators—even…

United States ruler Donald Trump has said that mainstream media news channels ABC and NBC should have their broadcasting licenses revoked. He claims that they should be punished for their “unfair coverage of Republicans.” In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump blasted ABC and NBC as “two of the absolute worst and most biased networks.” He claims that revoking their broadcasting licenses, which could be seen as censorship, will help keep the networks in line. “They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said plans to rename his agency as the Department of War are “coming soon,” but it remains unclear whether the executive branch can make such a move without congressional permission. During a White House press event on Monday, Hegseth spoke about the deployment of National Guard troops throughout Washington, D.C., and along the southern U.S. border. President Donald Trump responded to the remarks by complimenting the service members but complaining that the Department of Defense name “didn’t sound good” to him. “Department of Defense, I don’t want to be defense only,” he continued. “We want defense,…
The state of Massachusetts’ ban on what the state calls “assault-style” firearms has been a sticking point with gun-rights advocates since its passage last year. Not only does the law infringe on the constitutional rights of lawful citizens in the Bay State, but it also gives a lot of interpretive leeway to anti-gun politicians to determine which guns are actually illegal. On August 21, the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, East Division, challenging the ban. Joining the NRA in the action, named Hanlon v. Campbell, are the Gun Owners’…
