Gutterpy Tents powered by Liquid Screen Design Joins NVBDC's MVO Task Force to Support Veteran Entrepreneurs and Elevate Event Branding
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- The National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) proudly welcomes Gutterpy Tents powered by Liquid Screen Design as the newest member of its Military and Veteran Organization (MVO) Task Force. This strategic partnership strengthens NVBDC's ongoing mission to support Veteran-owned businesses by expanding access to branding, merchandising, and event solutions tailored for maximum impact.
Founded by Navy Veteran Andy Macias, Gutterpy Tents began as a simple solution to unreliable tents at outdoor tailgates and evolved into a fast-growing, Cleveland-based company known for its patented rain-gutter tent system, custom-branded gear, and full-service event merchandising. Following a merger with Liquid Screen Design, Gutterpy Tents has expanded its marketing offerings to provide free graphic design services with promotional product orders, Print-on-Demand (POD) stores, individualized fulfillment of orders, completely custom swag boxes and kitting, and physical marketing analysis while tracking ROI on promotional products. In addition, the new collaboration will allow Gutterpy Tents to offer a wider range of products and pass along cost savings to customers.
'Joining the NVBDC MVO Task Force just made sense,' said Macias, Owner of Gutterpy. 'We're a Veteran-owned business committed to helping other Veteran-owned businesses look good, stay dry, and stand out. Being part of this network connects us with like-minded leaders and new opportunities to grow and give back.'
Inspired by a personal journey that began while stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, Gutterpy was founded by Macias following the loss of his wife, a Special Agent with the U.S. State Department. For Macias, Gutterpy is more than a brand—it's a mission-driven venture dedicated to supporting fellow Veterans. His family's legacy of service, spanning the military, education, law, diplomacy, and public service, continues to fuel his purpose and drive.
Within the MVO Task Force, Macias advocates for elevating Veterans' presence at conferences, like the NVBDC National Conference. 'Let's give Veteran-owned businesses the presence they deserve,' he emphasized. 'We're here to help with tents, apparel, banners—everything they need to create a lasting impression.'

‘Poor' water quality detected at 2 local beaches due to predicted E. coli levels
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Poor water quality has been detected at two Northeast Ohio beaches Saturday, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District said, meaning it's best to stay out of the water. Not that it's great swimming weather this weekend anyways, but just beware. The affected beaches include Edgewater Beach and Villa Angela Beach. Northeast Ohio businessman fulfills dream of going to space The predicted E. coli concentration for Edgewater Beach is 139 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 80 MPN/100mL . The predicted E. coli concentration for Villa Angela Beach is 301 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 135 MPN/100mL 'Poor water quality predictions due to potentially harmful algae indicate that cyanobacterial species capable of producing toxins were found to be present at the time of sample collection. Beach postings will be updated by Cleveland Metroparks based on toxin concentration results,' the NEORSD said. It's so cold Cedar Point Shores waterpark isn't opening this Saturday either Additionally, the National Weather Service warned residents about dangerous swimming conditions Saturday along the lakefront from Erie County, Ohio to Erie County Pennsylvania. NWS Cleveland posted on X Saturday morning about the threat of dangerous swimming conditions due to a high risk of rip currents along with the potential for dangerous wave heights.

Shedeur Sanders Faces Dire Warning About Making Browns' Final Roster
Shedeur Sanders Faces Dire Warning About Making Browns' Final Roster originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shedeur Sanders has earned some good grades for his performances at Cleveland Browns' OTAs, but one insider believes it may not be enough to earn him a spot on the final roster. Advertisement Sanders came to the Browns as a fifth-round pick after a big tumble down the NFL draft board. The former Colorado quarterback was once projected as a Top 5 pick, but took an unexpected slide before finally landing in Cleveland with the No. 144 overall pick. As reporter Brad Crawford of CBS Sports noted, Sanders now faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the final roster in Cleveland. "It's a number game for Sanders, who's at the bottom of the quarterback pecking order within a crowded room going against an obvious frontrunner, a veteran and another rookie," Crawford wrote. "With an unknown ceiling and light acquisition cost as a fifth-round pick, the Browns -- frankly -- aren't sure yet what they have in Sanders and need to see more." Crawford added that the Browns had enough faith in Sanders to take him in the fifth round, even after adding another rookie in Dillon Gabriel, but Browns general manager Andrew Berry did not plan to draft Sanders. Advertisement But Berry also noted there were pressures facing the other Browns quarterbacks, including veteran Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. The team could likely have the chance to put Sanders through to the practice squad, which could give the team more time to evaluate and potentially bring him to the active roster later in the season.

Opinion: The Secret Smoking Gun in Trump's ‘Big Beautiful' Budget
Among the multitude of horrors tucked into Trump's 'big beautiful bill' is a measure that lifts a $200 tax on gun silencers, while ending background checks and registration requirements for their purchase. If enacted, the impact of the SHUSH (Silencers Help Us Save Hearing) Act is more sociological than financial—the government might as well hand them out like candy. After all, RFK Jr.'s HHS has an eye on banning real candy soon enough. This follows on the heels of Trump's DOJ reaching a settlement with Rare Breed Triggers, a Texas-based company, to overturn a Biden-era ban on 'forced reset triggers' (FRTs) that turn semiautomatic weapons into rapid-fire machine guns. Unlike President Reagan, whose views on guns evolved after he was the victim of an assassin's bullet—he later supported the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act—Donald Trump's brush with death has seemingly spurred him to make it easier and cheaper for the bad guys to operate. 'Anything that makes guns more lethal or easier to conceal, either visually or audibly, helps criminals,' said Jim Kessler, Executive Vice President for Policy at Third Way, a progressive group founded in 2000 as Americans for Gun Safety to reframe the gun issue around reform. The $200 tax stamp on gun suppressors has been in place since the National Firearms Act of 1934. Ninety years ago, that was a decent chunk of change, and one that served to keep potentially lethal devices in check. Now these accessories are commonplace and gun rights groups jockeying for influence in the marketplace have made easier and cheaper access a cause. Republicans in the House and Senate this year introduced the Hearing Protection Act, arguing it would reduce 'overly burdensome' barriers for law-abiding citizens simply trying to obtain auditory protection they need when firing away at the gun range, on the deer hunt or during the getaway chase after a bank robbery. Wait, not the last one. If it were that innocent, if it were solely for people shooting target practice for recreation, the SHUSH Act would likely get some Democratic votes. But nobody believes that's what this is about. As a stand-alone bill, it could not get 60 votes in the Senate to avoid a filibuster—critics argue the legislation makes it too easy for people with malign intent to carry out gun crimes and even mass shootings without alerting others to the danger. And that's why now it's tucked into a massive piece of legislation that requires only a simple majority, where it can get a free ride. 'I don't think I've ever seen a weaker argument in my life—so that people with hearing issues could still fire weapons,' Gil Kerlikowske, a former commissioner of border control and protection under President Obama, told the Daily Beast. 'That's just not believable.' Kerlikowske is today on the board of the Giffords Center, the gun safety group founded by former Rep. Gabby Giffords after she was shot in the head at an outdoor rally in 2013. Of the measure, he added, 'The thing that troubles me the most is that it puts law enforcement in the crosshairs.' A more apt description than Hearing Protection Act would be Criminal Protection Act because silencers give them cover to evade detection. Law enforcement officers will be much more easily outmatched. 'And this is a president and group of Republicans who say they support law enforcement,' Kerlikowske said. (Police unions are so intertwined with the Trump administration and with the gun lobby, however, that they are largely silent in their acquiescence to such dangerous legislation.) Gun murders declined historically across the U.S. in 2023 and 2024. 2025 could have the lowest murder rate ever recorded. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 was the most significant piece of gun violence legislation in 30 years. It closed loopholes in federal law to increase the number of background checks, enhanced checks for buyers under 21, and allocated billions of dollars for mental-health support in schools. Now these gains are at risk. 'Trump has cut those grants… we're expecting schools to lay off social workers and school counselors by the end of the year,' said Nick Wilson, senior director of Gun Violence Prevention at liberal think-tank The Center for American Progress (CAP). Rare Breed Triggers sold at least 103,000 forced reset triggers—a product favored by mass shooters—in two years before Biden's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ruled them illegal in 2022. The company challenged the ban in court; following the settlement reached with Trump's DOJ, it's now back to business as usual. The Trump administration has even established a process for owners to retrieve any seized devices, which cost a few hundred bucks each. 'Second Amendment absolutists have been gaining ground for the last 10 years,' Kessler added. 'It's happening particularly (at) the state level, with a proliferation of laws to make it easier to discharge a firearm if someone feels threatened.' Open carry, concealed carry and stand your ground laws are in place in 25 to 30 mostly red states, where people believe that more guns mean less crime and a safer society. Statistics don't back such claims up, but for gun safety advocates, it's even harder to change perceptions than to change reality. In this broader context, the gun silencer giveaway is just another dangerous piece in an already deadly puzzle. There are other things in the budget reconciliation bill that will have a greater, systemic influence on gun violence, explained CAP's Nick Wilson: People losing employment, losing their insurance, losing their food assistance and feeling angry and disaffected more broadly. 'When people lose their jobs and they're hungry, we know what happens,' he cautioned, leaving the rest to imagine. But you don't want to 'just' imagine—a better approach would be to prepare for the likely negative impacts ahead.
