A former soldier was sentenced Friday to 44 years in prison for his role in luring an Army veteran into an ambush with one other former soldier, then helping conceal his killing. David DeGroat, 22, was sentenced in New Mexico’s 8th Judicial District Court on Friday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and five other counts in the July 2025 killing of Matthew McLaughlin, 25, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican. All three men had previously served together. The victim had moved across the country to live with the two men later charged in his death. His sentence, which…
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A plane that crashed at a remote military site in western Alaska, killing all eight people on board, was making its second runway approach in heavy fog when it lost contact, authorities said Friday. The Cessna’s two pilots could not see the gravel airstrip and were flying solely by instruments when the plane crashed about midday Thursday, Clint Johnson, the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska region chief, told a virtual news conference. Regulations required that they abort their first landing attempt because of the lack of visibility, he said, and the plane crashed on its second…
The gun control lobby and their media allies have tried painting Second Amendment advocate and congressional candidate Brandon Herrera as a Nazi, a woman-hating misogynist, and a carpet bagger. None of those attacks have really landed, with a new poll released a few days ago showing Herrera with a six-point lead over his Democrat opponent in TX-23. Now the San Antonio News Express is attempting to create another controversy where none exists: accusing him of inflating his net worth. Herrera said last month he was going to refile his financial disclosure statement because it did not…
ISTANBUL (AP) — Israel did not warn the United States before it struck an air base in northern Syria this week, despite fears of an escalation with the U.S. and NATO ally Turkey, the U.S. special envoy to Syria said. Israel usually closely coordinates its military actions with the U.S., its key backer. Washington has tried to use this influence to moderate attacks as Israel carries out operations in Syria, Gaza and Lebanon. Tom Barrack, who also serves as ambassador to Turkey, said the attack on Tuesday on the Abu Duhur base could have been Israel “baiting the Turks ……

The Transportation Safety Authority was created in the aftermath of 9/11. Its mission was to stop terrorists from taking dangerous weapons, which now includes box cutters, onto planes. Honestly, it’s an important mission, but TSA isn’t very good at its job. The stories of issues are legion, and when you look at who TSA recruits, it’s no wonder. And really, the big problem is that there’s no exercise of common sense. I’ve seen some of the things TSA confiscates from people looking to board flights, and they’re not always actual weapons. Much of the time,…
If you’ve ever applied for a credit card or loan while serving, you’ve probably benefited from the Military Lending Act (MLA). This federal law protects active duty service members, certain Guard and Reserve members, and their families from predatory lending practices, most notably by capping interest rates on certain types of consumer credit. The Military Lending Act and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) are not the same law. They protect different things at different times. The MLA covers new loans and credit cards you take out while you’re serving. The SCRA covers debts and financial obligations you already had…

Many of us have seen both ends of the aging spectrum, from the vitality of youth and raising kids to caring for older parents. Have you ever wondered why some do better with each passing decade, and some do not? Do fitness, social activities and focused health and wellness make the difference? Or is it an added piece of psychology and mental outlook on aging itself? While the pillars of fitness, health and nutrition are critical to aging, so is your attitude about aging. Science is now proving that aging is not an inevitable decline; it’s a path shaped by…
When law enforcement opposes some pro-gun measure, the anti-gunners will run with that stuff like they’re a combination of David Goggins and Usain Bolt: fast as hell and for days on end. But what happens when law enforcement groups don’t support a measure? Well, that doesn’t seem to matter, then.And in Colorado, it apparently doesn’t matter even more than normal, because sheriffs are opposing the new training mandate for modern sporting rifles.Colorado’s gun control law that went into effect last week is receiving widespread pushback from many notable organizations in the state, including two county sheriffs’…
The Pentagon took major action against Stars and Stripes on Friday, firing its publisher, editor and a Middle East reporter. The Aug. 21 terminations included publisher Max Lederer Jr., editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte, announced by the publication itself while the outgoing staffers vowed to maintain editorial independence. Slavin, who told CBS News in a July interview that he stood by the publication’s “editorial independence” and not kowtowing to the Pentagon’s agenda or control, told the publication following his firing that he received a notice of proposed separation and is reviewing it. Slavin became editor in 2025 after…
