If a gang boss or a corrupt sheriff tried to take over my vacant lot because he has more firepower than I do, calling it “protection” or “eminent domain” –– I would not give it up.

Canada Got Only a 12 Percent Compliance Rate In Its Compensated Gun Confiscation Test Run
Canadian gun owners just sent their government a message that may be lost on the country’s leftist Liberal politicians, but is crystal clear to the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

According to the National Post, the federal government confirmed that only 25 firearms were turned in as part of a “test run” on the buyback which was aimed at collecting 200 banned guns, amounting to only about 12 percent of what they expected. Firearms which were surrendered, the report said, were destroyed. The same report noted how, since 2020, more than 2,500 makes and models of firearms have been banned because government bureaucrats decided they are “assault-style” guns “unfit for public use.”

“It looks like Canadian gun owners are having none of this buyback foolishness, at least for the time being,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Now Canadian officials are claiming the pilot program merely needs to be clarified, and that more instructions are necessary to ‘facilitate participation.’ They’re trying to put a happy face on a clearly sad effort to disarm the nation’s law-abiding gun owners.” The report says an official with the Canadian Coalition of Firearm Rights considers the government’s buyback program to be “logistically impossible.”

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has issued Secretarial Order 3447 – Expanding Hunting and Fishing Access, Removing Unnecessary Barriers, and Ensuring Consistency Across the Department of Interior Lands and Waters. This sets a department-wide policy that “public and federally managed lands should be open to hunting and fishing unless a specific, documented, and legally supported exception applies.”

This order directs the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Indian Affairs to identify and remove unnecessary regulatory barriers and allow access to hunting and fishing wherever practical.

This “open-unless-closed” policy will better align hunting and fishing policies on federally managed lands with adjacent state, tribal, and territorial wildlife agencies with the aim of removing access barriers, duplicative permits, and misaligned methods of take. This will provide additional opportunities and greater clarity for hunters and anglers using our federally-owned lands.

-“Cuban National Defense Council Approves “Transition to State of War” as Social Media Erupts”-
“The statement fails to specify any concrete measures that were approved, what real implications this supposed “preparation” will have, or what level of civilian mobilization is expected.
Nevertheless, the communiqué concluded by noting that “Army General Raúl Castro Ruz was kept informed of the activity’s progress, which he described as a good and efficient meeting.”

I have very minimal expectations for these vax injured women to succeed, but I would love to see changes here. Part of the reason that these injuries are underreported is because, as a patient, if you are injured from a vax,(and other medically induced injuries), you are forced to pursue a purposely, nearly impossible avenue of receiving compensation and care, which almost always inevitably leads to delayed and often inadequate care, along with the ire of many medical personnel.

If you want someone to blame, look no further than New York State Attorney General Leticia James. She is the sole reason why DeStefano is facing 521 years behind bars. The more than five centuries of potential prison time he faces are on par with James’ crazy and overzealous course.

“Statements by Iran regime’s chief justice reveal a system trapped between collapsing fear and an unstoppable uprising

The remarks made by Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, Iran regime’s Chief Justice and a senior enforcer of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, on 14 January 2026, were less a display of judicial authority than a revealing document of structural panic. His warning that repression must be carried out “quickly” because “if it is delayed, it will no longer be effective” captures the anxiety of a system that sees time itself turning against it.”
