Following the historic end to the NFA’s unconstitutional federal registration scheme for untaxed firearms and suppressors, lawyers for FPC have sent letters to the AGs of 15 states that still tie the legality of the covered arms to compliance with the law. firearmspolicy.org/fpc-moves…

My buddy below raises these dogs and knows the breed like his family. If we have anyone in the area who wants to help, get in on this. Many of us would be happy to help financially if that is required. Let's save this poor dog.
Folks this is a real world mission for a very young Cane Corso that has been treated severely bad, neglected and malnourished as you can see in the photos. He is still a pup and has a ton of love to give to the right person. He needs a man thats experienced with large breed dogs and one who understands the psyche of a mastiff and large breed dog. Whoever surrendered this dog has absolutely abused him and its gonna take patience and love to help him learn that he was not the problem. The person that did this to this noble animal was the problem. We can help with transportation costs and veterinary costs to get him to adding weight and muscle like he needs to be doing at this age. Please RT this to those interested in helping out this poor Cane Corso. This makes me sad and mad at the same time seeing this kind of cruelty. Lemme know if you're interested and need some help to get him and with training for him. He will need it and a lot of patience and love... But he will make you a loyal guardian like none you have ever seen or witnessed anywhere.😔🙏🏼👍🏼

What's the verdict on things like Mantis for dry fire practice? Worth it? Gimmick? Helpful garden insects?

“We have to build American data centers or we’ll lose the AI race to China!” While you’re being conned into the idea we have to let AI companies put datacenters into every nook and cranny of your small town to protect American interests, those same companies are profiting handsomely by selling the data training sets they develop to Chinese firms who use them to shortcut the developing process for their own AI tools. One of these companies is Mercor AI, owned by three people - two with Star Wars names and Brendan Foody, a 23 year old Peter Thiel fellow. Completely surprising, I know; who would’ve guessed? We have allowed children and the offspring of foreigners to make vital decisions that impact the security of our country. The new AI business model is to become too big to fail as quickly as possible. Have to prop them up and let them do whatever they want or the economy fails and you lose your house. AI companies should be subjected to the same ITAR limitations that we’re subjected to. Zero foreign sales, zero foreign interaction whatsoever. What would happen to me if I sold ammunition to a foreign nation without the permission of the US government? These guys should be in prison.
US companies are selling AI training data to China. Forbes named Surge and Mercor. Everyone blamed distillation. Nobody checked the supplier list. Mercor and Surge run matching platforms. They recruit domain experts worldwide and route them to whoever is buying. Similar tasks, similar rubrics, similar RLHF projects, sold across multiple labs. Off-the-shelf sets are built to be resold. Models converge because the human layer underneath them overlaps. And say that's exactly what happened. So what. Nothing secret moved. Pretraining data was scraped by every lab years ago. What sells now is hours from a physics PhD in Warsaw or a radiologist in São Paulo, grading answers. Talent has always been global. Now look at who's raising it. Alexandr Wang built Scale and Meta owns a large stake in it. The two companies named are the ones eating Scale's lunch. Frame it as national security and it sounds like patriotism. Frame it as a sales objection and it reads the same.

While some American cities are canceling July 4th fireworks, Tokyo is lighting up the night to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and other landmarks are illuminated in red, white, and blue. It’s a beautiful gesture that shows how warmly Japan views its friendship with the United States. Happy 250th Anniversary, America. From Japan, with respect. 🇺🇸🇯🇵

All of us should be good shepards. 🙏
Communities have fair questions about camera technology, and those questions deserve direct answers. Flock does not sell camera data. Law enforcement cannot view a customer's footage unless that customer chooses to share it. Public safety technology can be useful and accountable at the same time. Know more: bit.ly/4dCDHfY
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Contrary to the claim, Flock's own terms of service grant the company a perpetual right to disclose customer footage to law enforcement. Multiple cities, such as Mountain View, CA, have discovered their data was shared with hundreds of agencies without their permission. data.aclum.org/2025/10/07/flo… malwarebytes.com/blog/privacy/2… techtimes.com/articles/31931…

Given my heritage and to show my solidarity with our Brothers in Ireland, I'll be making a pair of shorts in Irish DPM for myself too. Kinda have to at this point. 🇺🇸🇨🇮

You can’t buy capability. Every time you buy something new, you incur a training tax. It’s like buying a gym membership. Buying it is the entry fee.

Republicans must capitalize on this and pass 50 state Constitutional Carry & repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934 Make the Democrats live up to their words for once.
Democrats are now pro-2A Chuck Schumer: “The president seems to have forgotten the words of the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

It'd be nice if Congressional Republicans acted like the murder of one of the America's greatest voices was as severe as a couple of college kids arguing about Israel, but I haven't seen that yet.
