Idaho voters nominate lever-action rifle ‘that Won the West’ to be state’s official gun
In a non-binding vote, Idaho voters nominated a lever-action rifle, dubbed the “Gun that Won the West” to be the state’s official gun.
The gun, the Winchester Model 1873, had the backing from about 31% of Idaho voters, the highest share of any of the guns on the ballot in Tuesday’s general election, according to unofficial results from the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. All of Idaho’s 44 counties were reporting election results by then.

Non-Assimilating Immigrants Must Be Seen As Cultural Invaders
Indigenous cultures struggle to survive when faced with large-scale, relentless foreign influxes that resist assimilation. These cultures weaken, fracture, and ultimately disappear as parallel societies take root, imposing their own norms, demands, and power structures on the host nation.
What is often labeled as “immigration” can function more like demographic conquest. This is particularly evident in the United States today, where waves of non-assimilating arrivals view the country as a resource to exploit rather than as a community to join.
They create ethnic enclaves that act as extensions of their homeland, pressuring government, laws, and culture to conform to the very issues they sought to escape. This process does not enrich society; it leads to replacement.
Islamic immigrants who do not assimilate provide a particularly concerning example. They come from societies governed by Sharia principles that often clash with Western values of liberty

Pros and cons of BC Conservatives’ plans to repeal housing bills
B.C.’s new provincial government wants to scrap a couple of the NDP’s housing bills. What are the pros and cons of that plan?
Lorne Doerkson’s Conservative government vowed that if they formed government, they’d prioritize affordability. However, their plans to repeal the NDP’s Bills 43 and 44 could have the opposite effect.
These bills allow the province to impose housing targets on municipalities, requiring them to build so many more homes, or else face consequences.
Part of that means lots zoned for single-detached homes must allow at least duplexes or multiplexes.
Tom Davidoff with UBC’s Sauder School of Business says it addressed what he calls the “big free-rider problem” that some cities, such as West Vancouver, were part of.
“If I indulge myself in luxury zoning, that makes it harder for everyone to afford housing, because instead of multiple houses on a single lot, there’s one house on a single lot,” Davidoff said.
