Ahead of its upcoming July 2026 release, Halo Studios has given fans a first look at the three new missions coming to Halo: Campaign Evolved, which should make fans of Sergeant Johnson pretty happy. Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to retell the original story of Master Chief from 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved, reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, with a couple of new features in tow for modern audiences. First revealed at the Halo World Championships in October 2025, Halo: Campaign Evolved is the first large-scale remake from Halo Studios using Unreal Engine 5 instead of the studio’s proprietary Slipspace Engine.…
A flesh-eating parasite has been confirmed in Texas livestock. Canada has now banned the import of United States livestock, including horses, over the screwworm infestation. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has condemned Ottawa’s move as an “overreaction,” even though he has already declared a statewide disaster The first case of screwworm was identified in Texas on Wednesday. This marks the first detection of the parasite in the US, roughly 80km (50 miles) from the Mexican border. The outbreak began in Central America in 2023 and has been spreading steadily northward ever since. By late 2025, Mexico had reported thousands of cases…
The National Park Service (NPS) oversees a whole lot more than just national parks. It manages and protects many historic sites and landmarks that tell important parts of U.S. history, from the Civil War to the suffragists to the Civil Rights Movement. The NPS will soon allow people to visit an internment camp in Hawaiʻi that imprisoned hundreds of Japanese Americans during World War II. For the first time since it closed in 1946, the Honouliuli National Historic Site will be open to the public. The History During the war, over 120,000 people of Japanese descent were forcibly detained in…
MHS GENESIS has completely transformed the Department of Defense’s (DoD) military medical screening process, integrating health data into a single network. The system allows MEPS doctors to digitally review healthcare databases and view recruits’ medical histories. The system helps MEPS review records more efficiently and can surface prior diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment history, such as childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety prescriptions. The good news is that services have eased waiver restrictions for certain medical conditions, such as ADHD. If you are flagged at MEPS with ADHD, anxiety, or a past medical issue, are you still able to…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about some Seattle residents who are so fed up with prostitution, drug deals, and shootings in their neighborhood that they ended up erecting barricades to try to keep violent criminals at bay. The city has since removed those homemade roadblocks and installed ineffective chicanes that slow down traffic but don’t actually prevent anyone from driving on the side streets. Seattle officials say they’ve also increased police patrols along Aurora Avenue, and are planning on permanently closing access to neighborhood side streets, though no timeline has been announced. At a…
BEIRUT — Israel and Iran traded fire on Monday, all but derailing a brittle two-month ceasefire that had largely stopped the fighting in the U.S and Israel’s assault on Iran. The tit-for-tat attacks between the two sides threaten to widen the scope of a conflict that has already killed and wounded thousands, displaced more than a million people and rattled economies across the globe — even while embroiling the U.S. in a war with no clear off-ramp. “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’ ” wrote President Donald Trump early Monday on his social media platform, Truth Social. Later, he…
For decades, many of us starting on a fitness journey have largely focused on looking better. We have chased bigger arms, chest muscles and six-packs, counted calories to the decimal point, and measured our progress by reflecting in the gym mirror. Now, slowly but surely, the conversation is shifting from how our bodies look to how they function. While fitness will always have people surviving the next grueling workout for aesthetic purposes and wearing summer clothes, it is not always the primary goal. It’s a nice secondary goal, yes, but fitness is also about ensuring that we can lift our…

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump is dismissing the idea that launching the war with Iran this year betrayed his refrain of “No new wars” that he made repeatedly as he campaigned again for the White House. Trump, in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said he “didn’t guarantee” there would be no wars if he were back in office. “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?” Trump said. Trump also defended plans for a now-scrapped $1.8 billion fund that would have compensated…
Emergency candles have been a survival staple for generations, but carrying loose candles and matches is a sloppy solution. They roll around, get lost, and offer no wind protection when you actually need a flame. That’s where a little historical inspiration goes a long way. The Civil War era produced some remarkably clever field gear, born out of necessity and built from whatever was on hand. This candle lantern design draws directly from that tradition. It’s compact, functional, and built from common materials. It holds up to three candles and a book of matches, and it doubles as a wind…
On Wednesday, June 10, the Delaware Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in DE Department of Safety andHomeland Security, et al. v. Birney,et al; a case that will have a huge bearing on the right to keep and bear arms for young adults in the state. Delaware prohibits adults under the age of 21 from purchasing most common firearms. In fact, the law forbits purchasing or otherwise obtaining any firearm that falls outside the state’s definition of “shotgun” or “muzzle-loading rifle.”The Delaware Shooting Sports Association, Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club, and an individual…
A .22 LR handgun is easy to dismiss until you carry one all day, shoot it well, and watch it punch deeper than expected. For hunters, trappers, and everyday carriers in the woods, the humble rimfire sidearm still has teeth. Why the .22 LR Handgun Still Earns a Spot in the Hunting Kit Hunters carry handguns for a number of reasons. Some of us like the challenge of handgun hunting in particular. For those of us who live the concealed carry lifestyle day in and day out, the handgun goes with us no matter what the activity. Others still want…
The Vortex Talon HD 10K crams rangefinding binoculars, onboard ballistics, environmental sensors, and 10,000-yard capability into one serious long-range tool. It is heavy, smart, surprisingly easy to run, and capable enough to make ordinary rangefinders feel a little underdressed. Vortex Talon HD 10K Review: The All-In-One Long-Range Hook The Vortex Talon HD 10K combines ballistic ranging binoculars, onboard sensors, and 10,000-yard capability into one system. Rangefinding binoculars continue to evolve quickly, but most still force shooters to compromise between optics, ballistic capability, and usability. The Talon HD 10K attempts to combine all three into one package built for hunters and…

This article was originally published by Michael Dioguardi at The Mises Institute. Previously, I have argued that sovereign credit systems are structurally biased toward expansion: crises justify new interventions, those interventions are never fully reversed, and each cycle leaves behind a higher institutional baseline than before. The Cantillon effect ensures that the gains from monetary expansion distribute unevenly, flowing first to those nearest the financial system. In another article, I examined why market discipline cannot correct this: Banking regulation assigns zero risk weights to sovereign bonds; liquidity rules mandate their ownership; central bank collateral frameworks treat them as foundational assets. The…
Not every country has the same criminal justice system as we do. Some are fair, many aren’t. Often, the State Department takes an interest in cases where Americans have been arrested abroad, though they mostly just want to make sure the Americans are treated the same as anyone else. Unless you’re a vocal anti-American women’s basketball player that no one had heard of before you got arrested. Then they’ll trade a vicious criminal for your moronic butt, all so you can come and take more dumps on the country that pulled you out of a Russian prison. …
The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency recently elevated Israel’s counterintelligence threat designation to “critical,” the highest level in its system. The assessment was raised in recent weeks, though officials reportedly did not disclose the exact date of the change. The designation became public June 6. The disclosure comes as Congress considers legislation that would significantly expand defense technology cooperation between the United States and Israel. U.S. officials reportedly believe Israeli intelligence services have intensified efforts to collect information regarding internal American deliberations involving Iran and conflicts in the Middle East. Officials told NBC that those concerns prompted the Defense Intelligence Agency…
