When gym teacher Rob Trachtenberg began experiencing severe numbness and pain in his right hand late in 2024, he never expected that his path to relief would lead him across the U.S. border. Frustrated by what he says was an 18-month wait for treatment in Manitoba, he opted to drive to Fargo, North Dakota, for a 45-minute procedure — only to be denied reimbursement by his home province. He now raises pressing questions about surgical wait times in Manitoba and how, or whether, the province compensates residents seeking treatment outside its borders.
I may give up vending at gun shows after the one I attended this past weekend. I sold an almost mediocre amount of items on the first day, Saturday, mostly at my usually low prices. (That means probably all at a loss except one item which I sold for more than I bought it.) Note I said almost a mediocre amount of items were sold by me; in reality, and I hate to have to say it, the amount of things I was able to sell was quite low. Then in total on Sunday, I made only two sales, a Gen3 AR15/M4 30 round PMAG for $10.00 and one box of brass cased 7.62x54R rounds, also for $10.00. Both were sales tax included, and yes I pay the sales tax to the state of AR at 10.25% for the area in which I sold the things.
Most items I sold were sold at cost or somewhat under my cost. I sell stuff not so much to make a profit but to get my money back or at least get close to it by getting rid of things for which I have a surplus. That way, I bring in cash I can use to buy another gun or two without having to take money out of my savings account. Of course, I'd love to make a net profit but that is not my goal. I most definitely am not a dealer making a living off of things that I sell at gun shows. I am merely a firearms self defense enthusiast and a certified firearms instructor trying to get some cash to buy more guns to foster my firearms instructor and self defense skills by getting new to me guns, that allow me to learn more about firearms. This time though, after paying
$140.00 for two tables, with the poor sales, it is getting to the point where if I keep this up long
enough, I will bankrupt my firearms fund because the amount of items I sold was truly dismal.
Another for instance, I sold 9mm ammo yesterday at a bit under cost, $10.00 per box, tax included. Tax included makes it around an additional 10.25% under cost for the buyer and that much more of a loss for me after I pay the sales tax; and I do pay the sales tax. One guy bought all 8 boxes of the 9mm which was nice but it was still a loss for me. That loss is okay by me, it was surplus, believe me I have thousands of rounds more of 9mm. The thing is, before that guy jumped on it and bought the eight boxes I had for sale, others wanted me to lower my price. I guarantee it was the lowest price on 9mm at the show by far and a good deal lower than the online price considering if bought online, you would need to pay sales tax and shipping fees and in places like NY you'd also pay an FFL fee to transfer the ammo to you.
Almost all my other ammo had a really good price on it, especially compared to other show vendors prices for theirs. Someone else yesterday also asked me to do better on 22 LR ammo I was selling. Sadly, I had mistakenly overpriced that and lost a sale. Shit happens.
As for other dealers at this show (and other shows), wow some of their prices are insane on ammo and guns. I suppose they are in it to earn a living or at least as a sideline in which they try to make a net profit. Then again, $800.00 for a run of the mill SKS (or similar) is crazy. As I said, I sell guns and ammo trying to break even or come close to breaking even, so I can get some cash to buy different guns. It beats me keeping money in the bank, that I ultimately wind up using to pay for other things instead of firearms related purchases, then wind up not having enough money to buy anything firearms related. So, when I have the excess cash, I buy - buy - buy. Then when I need the cash to buy a gun, I sell - sell - sell whatever I previously bought and have in surplus, or am tired of having, to get enough cash without going into my savings. The thing is after table fees that keep rising and after sales tax, and income tax (if there was a rare net profit at a show on an item or two), it is becoming prohibitive for me to keep vending because I rarely make a net profit on most things I sell. I sometimes do okay though and break even which is okay by me and rare times now and then actually have a small net profit after a show and sales taxes, and that is good by me but still have to pay income tax on that.
This is from a few years back but is a cool story. Rest in Peace, Lieutenant.

I had flour, butter, and Kefir (fermented milk found in the yogurt aisle) and honey. These turned out great - sturdy enough for the burger, but with a texture that was tender and biscuit-like, soaking up all the burger juices. Plus, they took 5 minutes to get into the oven. The leftovers will be frozen to be a base for stew in the coming weeks
No yeast "Buncuits" (a cross between a biscuit and a hamburger bun)
In one bowl, mix:
3 and 1/2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
In another bowl mix:
1 and 1/2 cups kefir (fermented milk drink) or plain yogurt
Combine wet and dry and stir until it holds together. Place on a floured board and knead 12-14 times, adding flour as necessary to keep it from being too sticky. This is more than you'd knead biscuits but LESS than bread. You don't want it so smooth and elastic that you have a hockey puck when you are done. Make six small balls out of the dough. Knead the dough in your hands, form it into a ball, and place it on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake in a 375°F preheated oven for 17-20 minutes. The top will NOT get brown, but the bottom will. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

Unidentified drones, with lights on, were observed over several Danish airports on the night of September 24th, 2025. Flights were disrupted at Aalborg, Billund, and the Copenhagen airports for various periods of time. From the BBC 25 September, 2025:
Denmark says drones flown over its airports appear to be the work of a "professional actor" but there was no evidence of Russian involvement, after such activity disrupted its airspace for the second time in a week.
Aalborg airport was forced to shut down for several hours on Wednesday evening after green lights were spotted overhead, while Billund airport also briefly closed. Three smaller airports also reported drone activity.
On Monday, Copenhagen airport temporarily closed due to a drone incursion.
The drones have not been shot down or identified. Because of the proximity to the Russian/Ukraine war, various people have speculated the drones are related to the war. Danish authorities have been careful to say they do not know who the drones belong to. The Minister of Defense, Toels Lund Poulsen, believes the drones are being operated by "a professional actor", indicating the operation was likely sponsored by a government. Some have speculated the drone operation is a demonstration of capability. The Danish authorities were not able to take down the drones.
No detailed images of the drones were published. The size and type of the drones were not published. Russia has denied any involvement.
There have been similar incidents in the United States, particularly during November - December 2024, commonly known as "New Jersey drone sightings". Many of the sightings were eventually admitted to be authorized drone flights, while some were manned aircraft and even celestial bodies.
Because of the nearby war in Ukraine, people in Denmark are concerned. Some of them are becoming prepared by following the advise of their government to have three days supply of food and water. From NPR.com, October 3, 2025:
"Everybody is talking about it," Trine says about the drones, adding that her family is "very, very worried."
NPR agreed not to use the last names of some of those interviewed in this story, because of the panic around this security issue.
Trine says being nervous made her take stock of her family's emergency plans. "We prepped, we prepared," she explained, checking their canned food supply, stocking up on water and reviewing their plan with other family members in case they have to evacuate their home in Copenhagen.

Sweden also went through a period like this shortly after the start of Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine in 2022, Hallgren explains. But then the country reassessed the risk of being so close to the front line, and invested a lot in things like renovating and expanding its network of bomb shelters.
Hallgren advises that the Danish government do the same.
The war in Ukraine has reminded many in Europe they are not immune to invasion and war. The success of NATO in preventing most military actions in Europe, for 80 years, is one of the longest relative periods of peace in Western European history. Finland, which survived a war with the Soviet Union at the beginning of WWII, has now become a member of NATO and is rebuilding shooting ranges. From AmmoLand:
The Finnish government’s hostile attitude toward maintaining the country’s shooting ranges died with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Finland, Sweden, and Norway have higher levels of firearms ownership than most of Europe. Denmark is said to have about ten guns per 100 people, about 30 percent of the ownership rate of Finland and Norway, and about 40 percent of the Swedish ownership. Ten guns per 100 people is about twice the rate in England, and half of that in Germany.
Most of the firearms owned are shotguns and combination guns, which might be able to shoot down small drones in some circumstances. Privately owned guns are required to be kept unloaded and locked up most of the time.

"The driver got upset that the vehicle in front of him wasn't moving fast enough and he got out of his vehicle and started beating on his car," Lt. Khan with the HPD said. The driver of the vehicle in front warned him that he had a gun and ended up shooting and striking him once, Lt. Khan added.
HPD says responding officers rendered aid to the victim before he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he is said to be stable.
Houston police confirm the shooter stayed at the scene and cooperated with responding officers. The shooter told the officers he was acting in self-defense and has not been charged, HPD says.
Rock Hill Police say the shooting occurred just before 2 p.m. at the Galleria Mall, off Dave Lyle Boulevard. Officers say the shooter acted in self-defense, after he was “accosted by the other party both verbally and physically.”
The person who was shot, 26-year-old Martell Minter of Chester, was transported to the hospital in critical condition after being shot in the shoulder. He has been charged with third-degree assault and battery; a court date will be determined after his release from medical care.
JSO says an initial investigation revealed that the individuals who were shot were involved in a car burglary. They began to shoot two victims who interrupted the burglary.
The two victims who interrupted the burglary returned fire and struck the two suspects.
They were soon transported to a local hospital and are in non-life-threatening condition.
Two individuals were riding on a scooter when a group of people approached them and attempted to rob them at gunpoint, according to Tempe police.
The individuals on the scooter shot at the group and someone from the group returned fire.
The group then ran from the area but was later located by police near Scottsdale and Curry roads.
One of the individuals on the scooter and two individuals from the group were hurt in the shooting.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Air ambulance vendors who transport patients to Oregon Health & Science University decided not to land at the hospital on Saturday night, an OHSU spokesperson said, a precaution while a flyer circulated encouraging people to shine lasers at helicopters.
The flyer, posted anonymously last week to a blog that describes itself as an “anarchist counter-info platform” in Portland, encouraged people to play “laser tag” with helicopters on Saturday. Shining lasers at aircraft is a federal crime.
“Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us,” the flyer said. “The only limit power knows is our refusal to submit.”
Government helicopters have kept watch on the South Waterfront Immigration & Customs Enforcement Facility, the site of daily protests of varying sizes, since at least early October. The government choppers are audible well into Southeast Portland and have prompted a litany of noise complaints.
That facility is less than a mile, as the helicopter flies, from the OHSU helipads.
Sara Hottman, associate director of media relations for OHSU, warned Saturday that the “extremely dangerous activity” of shining lasers at helicopters could hurt patients.
Various air ambulance vendors decided not to land at the OHSU helipads on Saturday night, Hottman said. In an emergency, they would have needed to land at another airport and transport patients by vehicle, which could add up to an hour to patients’ commutes, Hottman said. That could be dangerous for trauma patients or others with urgent concerns, Hottman wrote Saturday.

Not The Bee (which carries news so weird that you might mistake it for Babylon Bee):
British judge gives men who protested against migrant sex offender longer jail sentences than migrant sex offender...
Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu from Ethiopia entered the UK by boat and made his way to the town of Epping, England. Once there, he decided that he wanted to have sex with all the teenage girls.
No, really, within a few days of arriving in England, he sexually assaulted multiple girls....
Instead of being deported, or perhaps executed as a public example of what civilized countries do to foreigners who try to rape their children, Kebatu received a measly year in jail.
Meanwhile, a crowd of 500 locals protested outside the Bell Hotel, which is one of many across the country housing migrants on the British taxpayers' dime, on July 17. These Englishmen, upset that their government was importing rapists from other countries into their community, had signs saying "protect our kids."
50 counter-protesters came out to defend the rights of migrants to live in free housing in England. As tensions grew, police struggled to maintain peace, leading to several arrests.
Now, the protesters did break the law:
for "kicking out at an officer" and climbing onto the roof of a school as he made his way onto the hotel roof, where he "attempted to ring the bell thereon."...
for kicking a police officer and "throwing a can."...
"punching an officer's [riot] shield."
Breaking the law deserves punishment. But sentences of two years when the illegal immigrant received 12 months for sexual assault? See 9/23/25 BBC.
The apartment owner and three males told police they were inside the apartment when someone began shooting from outside and then kicked in the front door. One of the males reportedly told an officer he returned fire from inside the apartment with an AR-15.

Another officer made contact with the resident in the apartment next door and found a bullet hole in the wall by his living room. His TV set also had a bullet hole in it.
