President Donald Trump has instructed the Pentagon to prepare for potential military action in Nigeria, threatening to halt U.S. aid if the Nigerian government does not address ongoing violence against Christians. In a social media post, Trump described Nigeria as a “now disgraced country” facing a humanitarian crisis due to mounting attacks from armed groups and stated that he had designated it as a “country of particular concern” regarding religious freedom violations. Amidst his bold claims, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has refuted Trump’s characterization of the country, emphasizing ongoing government efforts to protect the religious rights of all citizens.…
A lawyer representing one of five young men arrested in connection with an alleged Halloween terrorism plot asserts that the suspects are simply video gamers engaging in online banter, not radicalized extremists, as claimed by the FBI. Attorney Amir Makled argues that his 20-year-old client, along with four others aged 16 to 20, was misunderstood due to their recreational gun activities and online discussions, characterizing their actions as harmless tough talk rather than a legitimate threat. All five suspects remain jailed without charges after being arrested in separate FBI raids on Halloween. Makled emphasizes that there has been no evidence…

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal concerning the constitutionality of a federal law that prohibits firearm possession for individuals deemed “unlawful users” of controlled substances. This case stems from a ruling by the New Orleans-based Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which challenges the broad application of the law that could classify someone who smokes a small amount of marijuana as a felon, even when that person does not possess a firearm. This critical decision could have wide-ranging implications for gun rights and marijuana legislation, highlighting a significant intersection of personal liberties under the Second Amendment and…
Charleston, West Virginia, is closing in on a major change to its gun regulations, with a potential repeal of the ban on firearms at public pools. This development comes as the state legislature moves to limit local control over gun laws, effectively prioritizing state legislation that advocates for broader gun rights. For the last two decades, Charleston has maintained restrictions on gun possession in public spaces, but these laws may soon disappear, fueled by a campaign from gun rights groups to unify regulations across cities. Critics, including local police officials, worry that the lifting of these restrictions could compromise public…

CLOTHES AND A WAY TO WASH THEM It’s hard to believe how many top-10 lists mention ferro rods, manual can openers, plant-identification books, and the ever-present multi-tool without ever mentioning clothes or washing equipment. Clothes last for quite a while if we’re sitting in an office all day but they won’t lost long when manual labor becomes a daily routine. Since we’ll be wearing them at some future point anyway, it’s a good idea to be stocking up on clothes for all of the inflation-fighting reasons already mentioned. At the same…
